I'm only a few hours into the game, and I like what I've played thus far. However, the Command Board is pissing me the fuck off. The die rolls from the computer are so full of shit. Last game I played had Terra rolling a 6, 5, 6, 4, 4, 6, 5... And so on. He never got lower than a 4, meanwhile I'm rolling nothing but 1's and 2's.
Is this something I should get used to or was that just a fluke?
Anyway, aside from that, I'm enjoying the game. The environments seem kind of small, much like they were in KH2, but it's understandable considering the system.

Just concentrate on getting all four heart blocks(Red, Yellow, Green, Blue) in any order and heading back to the keyhole after.
The pieces you collect in between are just extras.
But otherwise, yeah the computer is broken.
Once Cinderella got three blocks, each two spaces away from one another, and I landed on all three of them in a row.

I normally haven't had issues with die rolls, but last night I had a situation where I used three dice and got all 1s. I was pretty pissed off about that. The game is generally pretty easy to win, though.

ok... how the heck do I make/end up with second chance & once more? Terra's final fights are burning me out.

This guide has an excellent section on command melding.
Ctrl F "[COL:CM]" (with the brackets, not the quotes) to find the section quickly.
Seems like the easiest way to get Second Chance is to meld Blizzara and Blizzara with a pulsing crystal and Once More is to meld Fira and Fira with a Wellspring crystal.
Also, if anyone cares, Kotaku put their review up. Extremely positive.

Last night I was struggling with
and gave up since it was late. Today I've been thinking and I realized the significance of
I'm sure I'm not the first one to draw this comparison.
Xehanort in Terra's body
Eraqus being Terra's father and Xehanort stealing his body.
Terra represents Final Fantasy while Eraqus is obviously Sakaguchi. So who does that make Xehanort? YOICHI WADA. That's right, the douchebag that stole Sakaguchi's child and corrupted it beyond belief.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to draw this comparison.

Man so I just popped this game in and seriously... KH2 theme? That's um, lazy. :lol

Uh...that's the KH1 theme.Adam Prime said:
And it's more cheap than lazy since Utada Hikaru wanted more money if SE wanted a new song. So they were like "eh, whatever".

I like the theme so it didn't really bother me :lol
I think I'm at Terra's last boss (or close to it). Is it
(if it isn't, I'm still having trouble! :lol)?
I'm at level 27 (critical mode) and I seem to do ok partly it's just I always end up getting caught by an attack and I basically either get one-shotted or close to it. D:

Well, I'm near the end of Terra's quest, and I'm trying to 100% everything, which seems like it could take awhile. I should have learned from trying to do this in II.:lol
At least I'm pretty close on treasure chests. Not sure if I'll keep at it or just give up and beat the game.

Finally beat Terra's story. Last boss was intense. Now onto Ven.

I finished the game! I just cleared the Final Story on Critical Mode with 40 hours clocked. I loved every second of it. Damn, though were some of the final bosses in this game tough on critical. The ending was really nice, great credits track, good feel all around.
So, yeah, 40 hours on Critical with 82% of the Trinity Archives completed. Good stuff! I would really like to 100% the archives and max out each individual character, but I think I might move back to Valkyria Chronicles II since I kind of put that on the side when I got this game. I definitely think this was my favorite KH game and it's the second best game Square has released this generation (next to Nier of course)!
I also watched the bonus clip you get from clearing all stories on Proud or above and it was really cool. I definitely need to replay KHII and actually finish and take a stab at that DS Days game some more. I really liked how they kind of wrapped up each game in one final cut scene it seemed before the next installment.

I think I had played through KH2 on Proud Mode... haven't started the game yet but is that pretty much the consensus to play on Proud?
... to unlock the movie do you have to just beat the game on Proud or do a lot of side stuff?

Seems like Terra, Aqua, Ventus might are gonna have roles in the next KH game(s)

Of course not. That would be broken, plus you'd have to deal with character exclusive skills somehow.
The final story is the exception.

Shoot Lock isn't cheap, it's a part of the gameplay system! It's pretty damn handy sometimes on Critical difficulty, but yeah it basically seems like a cool but unnecessary toy when you're playing on Proud.Fuu said:
And yeah it helps against Terra's final boss because the dude warps around so much.
It's just plainly unfun to spam it like I did though. :lol I wanted to be cool and use my super sweet deck with all those nice combos but some of his attacks were insta-killing me if I missed a dodge or block, and the fucker clearly didn't want me to be stylish. I was running late after dying so much so I went with it and he was down after 2 or 3 tries.badcrumble said:

I don't think there's anything strictly multiplayer-only but I could be wrong. There's a lot of single-player content, at least.Fuu said:

If you weren't using guard + counter hammer for 99% of Terra's final battle you were doing it wrong.

Fire Surge + Thunder Surge also completely ruins his day.
None of those, hah (ok, except Thunder Surge but I like it so much, I had it right after Sonic Blade for the
fight and didn't change it).
I only used guard to bounce back the black magic balls attack at him and against the flying rocks move that takes forever to end, otherwise I only dodged.

Yeah, it stops his combos, except when it doesn't, and the counter damages him a whole lot... except when it doesn't.
It wasn't even like he guarded or something. It was just 'No, I don't feel like acknowledging you blocked me. I don't want to take damage either, thanks.'

Is that a thing? Or is it pretty easy to get all of them without side tracking to ridiculous lengths (or playing mini games to get them or something?).
Ah well, I'll still play more with Terra later for the sake of completing everything and I'll surely kick some final boss ass again some other time. Reminds me how I've never even tried the Deep Space and Neverland command boards while playing with Ven or Terra, at that part of the game I'm too curious and just want to get that character's story done. :lol Same for the Mirage Arena for now.
I remember playing KH1 so much, spamming Trinity Limit for synthesis drops in the area before the final boss while maxing out the stats of Sora, Donald and Goofy because I had nothing else to do in the game but still wanted to play.

Yeah. I hate when that happens in games.
It wasn't too frequent but it was definitely there.
Still better than those damn rabbits at the beginning of Aqua's story, "We're going to hit you in the middle of a combo even if you just cast slow on us, LOL!"
