I'm at Ansem 2, i loving hate SUBMIT still even if i'm getting way better at noticing when he'll do it and prepare to roll away, and his tackle attack is way more dangerous simply because the camera trying to track him will gently caress my rolls sometimes. And that bait last tackle is a bitch.

It's an optional one so in theory you could have missed it, but it is probably the strongest keyblade you can use at this stage. The only other thing really is have you completed all of the Coliseum stuff- outside of Sephiroth who, whoo boy, good luck there. Outside that it's just a matter of dodge rolling the gently caress away as he does his super big charges and hitting him as often as you can when he's not wrecking your face. Ansem 2 is easily, for me, the hardest part of the game so you're just about there.

I just completely forgot they buffed it up for Final Mix. Yeah, it's the second strongest physical keyblade short of the Ultima Weapon, so you're doing pretty good there. The Lionheart is good for magic if you use that frequently.

Stop hitting Ansem when he isn't getting staggered. Unless he is staggered or doing something else, he can use Submit, and if he uses it while you're button mashing the attack command you won't be able to dodge it. If you are attacking Ansem and think "huh he hasn't done anything for a bit" that is a good sign you should back off. He basically has an early form of Revenge Value. If you don't want to play lame then you need to adopt a Punch-Out!!! mindset. Everything Ansem does has a visual or audio cue, even if some are faster than others. If you develop the muscle memory then most of what he does is reactable and can be guarded or dodge rolled.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:But it has 2 less attack and 1 less MP than Divine Rose Speaking of MP; I'm not sure if the game itself ever mentions this, but since KH1 has no dedicated Magic stat, the power of your spells directly scales off of MP. This means that loading up on MP boosting accessories and keyblades will make your magic damage skyrocket. (it also means the staff is the best start because it gives you +1MP right off the bat)

I think i've spent 4 hours on Ansem 2. I can now get him to his second phase without taking damage or using MP fairly regularly. His tackle I have the most issue with, I parry it about sixty percent of the time. When I do it's the best I can do to put damage in during his second phase. He just can come up with attacks so fast in that phase, and i can't tell which attacks open a 3 or 2 string of attacks, of which SUBMIT is so often one of them, so it's hard to approach. Aaaagh. So close.

Just one more question then, around when should I expect things to "expand" in the story, going through Traverse Town is mostly getting a hang of the setting, but will it be around halfway through Sora's story or the end of it when new characters start coming in?

You can easily skip cutscenes in worlds until you get to the worlds that you yourself may think "oh hey there should be something interesting here." That may seem pretty vague but you know Agrabah probably won't have much to add. Pay attention to the floor scenes, though.

Burkion posted:So what did you think of KH1, all told? Really good. The story is a very wholesome take on coming of age and losing/finding oneself by connecting with others. Riku and Sora on the opposite ends of it is pretty good, specially when Beast comes in, a man who is also on a quest to find a love one and is hellbent on finding that one. Gameplay's pretty fun! It's a bit more basic than I could've expected in spots (like MP not being a stat per se, just is stronger the more slots you have) but overall it's really satisfying, specially when your moveset is fully expanded. In a 2019 where almost all celebrated games are large open worlds with too much sidestuff included, it was extremely refreshing to go back to worlds made out of a half dozen rooms, with progression happening continuously. loving lol at the item system. Munnie is somewhat hard to come by early on, and the best items you can buy are hi-potion. Donald and Goofy will use up items if you let them, which makes for a very negative loop where you really, really don't want to use poo poo or spend. The bracelets you can buy, and the weapon upgrades, are very, very limited and frankly poor, but they're so costly and plentiful that you have to assume you should buy them, which means avoiding items, which means hording them for when you need them, but then there's bosses where you don't need them so gotta hoard harder and avoid using. I can tell that if I had played this seventeen years ago, I would still be recovering and not using consumables in games. Flying/Swimming just ain't that good, specially with how late they're introduced, so you really feel the lack of your ground moveset. Ursula was a bitch and a half. Outside of that, bosses are really fun, very satisfying. I played Ansem II for loving five hours before quitting, but the only bullshit i call is that it's very easy for the camera to not keep up with the tackle attack and screw me over if i'm trying to dodge, or make it hard to orient sora the right way to parry. Beyond that everything felt within reach, I was making progression and feeling good. The worlds are fine, the Disney stuff is cute, but the rapid pacing there is what really makes it. I'm not sure this would work without something as striking as going around these movie sets, but seeing Aladdin is only the part that gets me in, it's the pacing that kept me going. Pretty good stuff, just a nice and satisfying game. I can see how nearly twenty years ago this was so crazy that it would make a huge franchise.

That's all great to hear and I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much And to back up one of your fears... ArmyOfMidgets posted:I can tell that if I had played this seventeen years ago, I would still be recovering and not using consumables in games. When I played KH3, I never, not once, bought items from the store. Entirely because I got really, really used to just not doing it in the original game that it became ingrained. Which means that I didn't learn that there was an item that would auto revive you if you got KOed until after I beat the loving thing. I made the game so much harder on myself

The most  part about this for me is that Sora got repeatedly told, point-blank, that all these worlds and people are fake and going forward will mess up his memories badly. Yet he does it anyway. The entirety of CoM wouldn't have happened if Sora wasn't the densest fucker ever.

Chain of Memories is the story of Sora doing exactly what the villains want, and STILL loving them over super hard because he's the most powerful idiot to ever exist and he had a friend to save goddamnit even if he didn't know who the gently caress she was!

It's also a loving sitcom bottle episode. Sora and the rest keep walking into this one white set, talking in the same poses in between adlibbed flashbacks to the last season/game. And yet this is the most pivotal story that is expanding the world into what will be the main conflict of this whole series (i assume. Since this is introducing organization 13 and all i know is that they're the baddies, but also the most beloved characters and also hot). Talking about this whole thing elsewhere got a friend of mine to boot up 358/2 Days and now she's lamenting that it got turned into a movie because, being a DS game trying to be a PSP game aside, it has a very good concept and gameplay? About to finish the first set of worlds. Lets see what Axel and Ms All Might are up to. Also, just gonna call it, don't tell me the answer, but Goofy, Donald and Jiminy aren't actually here for most of the game, are they? I'm like 70% sure they're all just Sora's figments. But there's a 30% chance they feel slightly off because they're dumbasses. MorningMoon fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Dec 3, 2019 |

I really liked the gameplay in Re:COM, I played through it a couple of times and would've done more if it had a new game+ mode. As is I started the first world after finishing KH1 (I also gave up at Ansem II because of how hard it was and also because I've already replayed this game a bunch and I'm ok skipping the gauntlet of final boss forms that turns into a big dumb looking boat) and then put it down because I didn't want to do all the grinding I did the last time I played and I can't play a card game without grinding for all the good cards. Riku's story is solid, if it was available without first playing Sora's story I'd probably jump into it on its own because it holds up as its own thing. There's not as much grinding, you only control what level you are rather than what's actually in your deck, so it's more about getting good at the combat instead of building stupidly overpowered sleights and using Tornado/Megaflare/Reflect Raid on everything ever. I don't remember the plot of each world having a lot to it, it's mostly Riku facing his own darkness in the form of (Disney Villain), but there's enough there that I'd say it's as important as Sora's story. There's a couple of Org XIII members who only really interact with Riku. Boy, the way Org XIII was introduced is really weird. Half of them are dead before you meet the other half. When you finally meet the whole gang in KH2, there's 7 of them. What? Why?

Re:COM is all about setting up your cards so you can just spam press triangle the entire fight and not have to think about what your doing. The numbers by be wrong here but I'm gonna take a rough shot at it. So the general idea may be here but off because I don't remember the numbers. 1. Set up your rows so they all add up to 21(?) 2. Then also set up the cards that dont get removed also set add up to the same combo of 21(?) 3. Throw in some combos of 2 heals and a ether at the end. 4. Spam triangle every fight spamming combos and you win. 5. Obv if you dont need to heal you skip over the heals or need to get cards back, and redraw your deck. Oh yea, this is more of a strategy once you have a bunch of cards. So this is until you get further in the game, 1. Put a poo poo load of attack cards in rows, generally so they atleast add up over 10+! 2. Spam triangle for combos so enemies can't cancel your poo poo. 3.. Throw in some combos of 2 heals and a ether at the end. I guess I should explain that when you spam triangle, that you lose the last card you use for the rest of the battle unless you use an ether. It's how using combos were balanced. Like I said my memory of the combo count may be off but along as your not playing the game on hard mode that's pretty much all it is to clown every boss. I wouldn't recommend playing this game on hard unless you really want the challenge. On the topic of Re:COM, that grind to get riku to 99 GOD DAMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Cards burned to start a sleights need Hi/Mega-tier items, potions for physical attacks and ethers for magic. Elixirs restock everything. However, by endgame bosses just love to break out a 0 if you try to use any long lasting sleight. (which the 21 sleight very much is) My endgame deck for bosses was just a bunch of normal chains of 0-9-9, so I can break their attacks and get a fully combo off while they're stunned.
