I thought we had people in this thread who never played KH2 originally but played 2FM crit first and did ok, though it would be on the harder side yes. By the time I played 2FM crit, I had completely forgotten what normal KH2 was like so idk I think it's fine, but maybe it is arguably a bit different if it's someone who's had 0 exposure to KH gameplay and is going through them now.

Yeah, this is my first time playing through and I got the entire franchise on my PS4 thanks to that sale. I'll stick to proud and watch any secret endings on youtube.

Most of the secret endings can be unlocked without much hassle on Proud, you probably won’t miss much. Except maybe the Extra secret one in KHII that requires the gold crown, but spoilers it’s basically just the opening to BBS.

It's also not really worth stressing about secret endings since they are both mostly ads for sequels and easily youtubed

I am extremely unhappy Xion came back in KH3 because now I can't make the jokes that nobody remembers her. So here, have this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV6Apkaborw

I'm heading into the End of the World part, so, some thoughts on KHFM -It's very, very fascinating to see how PS2 this game feels. In some ways it's very refreshing, how "small" everything is, meaning you get so much progression done compared to modern games. -Tinkerbell's rear end is bigger than some worlds. -The story's very sweet and interesting. -Some fights are frustrating, but in that cusp where the grinding to beat it with stats is fine/fun (the colosseum is great), or just learning the fight is satisfying. -Riku after Maleficent Dragon was extremely fun. Timing the parrying is just the most satisfying thing. -That's why Ursula is the worst fight; the swordplay is great, but swimming/flying just cuts off most of what you earn for it. -How the mobs cycled around in the Hollow Bastion segment (as in the enemies there, going back to some other spots and oneshotting tons of things, then opening the hole leading to the Hollow Bastion's mobs appearing everywhere, but the Hollow Bastion getting older buffed up dudes) was a neat way of reusing stuff. Off to beat teh game maybe i guess

KH1 and KH2 are some of the best jrpgs ever made. The quality takes a dip after that, but the others are ok too. I blame the current flaws on them removing all the SE characters. They never really relied on them but peppered in to contrast the disney stuff really made the games gems. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Nov 29, 2019 |

I finally beat the game a couple weeks ago and my thoughts are as follows: 1) The combat needs to be dumpstered and overhauled. 2) The story has gone so far up its own rear end it needs to be rebooted. 3) I still have very fond memories of the first two games and a couple of the side ones but if they are going to keep making them exactly like this I don’t know if I’m going to continue. This makes me sad.

So i'm taking a break, did make it past that room, Tinkerbell is the best btw. I'm stocked up and at the final boss rush, but i'm having trouble with Ansen already. Is there a suggested level I should grind to to do the whole ending stuff?

Pro tip- once you're in the final phase, you CAN land and summon Tinkerbell because she is the best summon and basically just get ready to face tank the goddamn world

ArmyOfMidgets posted:I keep falling for "SUBMIT" in Ansen 1 At The Beach. Here's the main thing there. Like so long as you're at least level 40, you can take him it's just Well, it's hard. I'm sure you've noticed this now, but the game's combat evolves as it goes on- you gain new mechanics and new ways of attacking and new abilities, and all of that goes into this final battle. Dodging, blocking, healing, strike raids, you're going to need all of them to break Ansem. It's like the Riku fight, but even bigger. Leveling up further will only help you be able to take more hits or to hit him harder, the name of the game with Ansem is dodge and block all that you can and hit him as often as you can. This is the fight dodge roll was born for

If you get hit by Submit/the Guardian's swipe attack, just back off and play defensively. Put up Aero/ra/ga, use items, just avoid being overly aggressive and accidentally getting stunned/grabbed midcombo.

I was talking comparatively. Just about every KH game has a main story that is only really relevant right at the start and right at the end of the game, with maybe a mid game interlude as well. And all that stuff is with original plot. KH1 is the exception because the princesses are macguffins and Maleficent is the main villain until the twist that it was an original bad guy. Other KH games just don't have the twist. KH3 isn't any different than other games in that regard but I feel it still tries to do a little more with it. Like yeah, the new princesses of heart don't matter at all but there's stuff like the advice Herc gives Sora being something that gets called back to a couple of times, or trying to tie in parts of the Toy Story world to heartless stuff. I guess all i'm saying is even with Arendelle being a really bad level (and man, it's really bad) I think it still overall does more with the Disney worlds than like KH2. E: I mean in basically every game the Disney worlds are just there for like fun romps through a disney playground swinging your magic stick at bad dudes, but I definitely think KH3 is better at trying to do some stuff with most of its levels than any of the side-games at least.

The only world in kh3 I outright disliked was Arendelle, mostly it's too much ice level that blatantly resents being in a kingdom hearts game so the plot is kept off in the distance and you get slapped in back of the head whenever you get close to it. I thought potc 3 was kind of neat in that Tia Dalma knows exactly what Sora is and what he's capable of so she's keeping him on the table but they can't actually go anywhere with that and it's an adaptation of a movie Sora doesn't really have a place in so your just elsewhere until it's time for one of the big set pieces.

Other KH games just don't have the twist. Hercules literally gave the most generic advice in the history of anime which was "Follow your heart and try your best." so I can't put much stock into it. I will agree, Arendelle was a shitshow and the Let It Go shilling almost made me roll my eyes out of my head. The Pixar and Big Hero 6 were easily the best worlds in terms of their self-contained stories, it's such a shame Disney didn't grant that freedom in the other worlds. Also, I'm surprised at how little poo poo Corona gets for having half the cutscenes lifted straight from the movie, line-for-line and motion-by-motion. Sure, it's impressive to see such quality non-crucial animations from Kingdom Hearts, but if I wanted to watch Tangled, I'd just go watch Tangled.

I kinda liked Corona honestly. The ending is just a movie retread with little deviation but I liked how over the nature walk there were a bunch of scenes that were just the gang playing around with Rapunzel and Flynn. And KH usually doesn’t do a whole lot of bonding with the temporary party members so I thought that was neat.

That poo poo is amazing. TheLoneStar posted:I mean maybe, but the worlds still barely effected the story. Sora just had this vague goal of re-learning the Power of Waking by...just wandering around Disney worlds, and was also sort of looking for Terra too. Neither of those things were impacted even remotely within the Disney worlds at all. The new Princesses of Heart didn't do anything for the main story except give unnecessary extra incentive to find the Seven Lights which was the main goal anyway. Maleficent and Pete continued to have no bearing on the main plot, just going around blindly looking for the Black Box but doing gently caress-all in the end. Also Corona, Arendelle, and The Caribbean were really bad in terms of giving new and interesting stories that several of the other games in the series would. Disney told them they weren't allowed to have Sora affect the stories at all. Meanwhile, Pixar was like "gently caress yeah you can write a completely new story!"

I mean if you think that was the decision of the game designers and not Disney going "YOU CANNOT gently caress UP OUR BIGGEST MONEY MAKING PRINCESS MOVIE BUT YOU ALSO MUST INCLUDE IT" I dunno what to tell you. But also half assing the stories of disney movies was like 99% of KH1 and that sold big time too so

I'll admit I've put a fair amount of thought into how a Kingdom Hearts reboot would go, and one of the biggest things would be a fairly simple one; have Malificent's cabal of Disney Villains stay relevant for more than one game and give them more to do
