Haha good luck #teamstaff, I hope your extra points of MP are worth it.
 
I hope there will be a 2.5 HD remix down the road that includes Birth by Sleep.
Well it would be surprising at this point if there wasn't considering all the hints they have dropped. Best case scenario is that it will be announced next week at TGS, otherwise it is most likely next month at D23 Japan.

I don't care what anyone says, I'll use dem summons even if they are less than optimal. Dat Genie can do some serious damage damnit!

Eh, just time consuming.

Not hard at all. Just time consuming.

Yeah, have to play the game 3 whole times, the difficulty trophies don't stack. The hard one will be beating game in 15 hours and not changing your equipment. The no equipment one though probably will be pretty easy on the easiest difficulty setting.

It's in 1080p. Please be excited.
For real.

Oh nice. I hope its the extended one too, probably since this is FM!

The 15 hour trophy is easy if you skip worlds (especially in beginner mode).
 
Skipping cutscenes? Thankfully you can do that this time. :)

Cutscenes apparently don't even count on the time. Anyway you can skip a big part of the game and reach the final boss. You don't even have to visit Olympus, 100 Acre woods, Atlantica (or HW Town if you are weird) and while you have to visit Monstro you can skip most of it by beaming out at the first save point.

Stun Impact, Ripple Drive, and Hurricane Blast early on are all incredible, fwiw.
 
I've never played a Kingdom Hearts game but wanted to get into them last gen but never had the chance. So this contains KH1 right?

Yup. The definitive version of KH1 in fact! Has bunch of bonus content never released outside Japan.

It also has the direct sequel to KH1 but it is more of a ''sidegame''. While 100% canon and has major story developments it is quite different from the main games like KH1.
 
Yep, the first of the story.

Yup. If you're looking at giving Kingdom Hearts a first try, this is pretty much the best place to start.

Awesome, so recommended to play KH1 and then Chain of Memories and then watch 358/2 Days? That leads into KH2?

Pretty much althou Days is kinda sorta supposed to be watched after KH2... kinda. It released after KH2 originally but in the timeline it is before KH2. I guess it isn't that bad to do it first but it might be a lil weird (if you can stomack Days that is).

botty said:
aww :(

But of course there is no CoM footage. They said 3 legendary stories... Kingdom Hearts and 358/2 Days.
Botty pls. CoM destroys Days.
 
It's not. I'm at Wonderland, and so far I've battled with the camera just as much as I always did back in the original release of KH. It's pretty bad, but you go into KH games knowing that and willing to overlook it.

Actually, I find myself constantly wishing the camera was zoomed out more so I could see more of Sora's surroundings. I don't ever remember feeling this way back when I originally played KH and I've played every game in the series since, so it's a little weird. Maybe the camera was pulled out a little bit by default in subsequent games and I just never noticed it?

How is the camera different from KH2?

Dont pay attention to the reviews (the GT one is laughable), get it for what it is. This will be a wonderful experience of nostalgia.

Hopefully they can get 2.5 out faster.

Was going back and forth on this, but I think I'm gonna pick it up today. $40 is a pretty good price. And I'm in the mood for it since my wife has been playing KH2 the past week or so.
 
GT is talking about ''refinements to the shortcuts for using spells and items''

They be tripping.

There is only the triangle button on the main command. I am sort of disappointed they missed adding a 4th shortcut slot and the ability to put in a potion. Probably wouldn't have been too hard to do compared to the other stuff they did do.

This applies for KH1 only right? Will show to my brother since I'm pretty sure he doesn't know about this.

KH 2.5 HD ReMix could be awesome. I hope its KH 2 Final Mix with Birth By Sleep Final Mix, and I guess Dream Drop Distance cutscenes?

KH 2 is my favorite in the series by far.

I'm on the fence on whether to pick this up or Animal Crossing for 3DS. This one would be more tempting since it's releasing this week and I have really fond memories of the first game (the last game I played was Dream Drop Distance and I hated it), but I've heard too many good things about AC...
 

Yoshichan

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Haha good luck #teamstaff, I hope your extra points of MP are worth it.
Does this mean the game's gonna be hard as shit?
 
Hmmm... Looks like cutscenes are counting towards my play time. I clocked myself yesterday. I started at 6:00pm and stopped to watch a show at 8:06pm. Got to Wonderland. Time the game has recorded when I hit save: 02:06:45....

Does anyone remember if there's any advantage to using the guest party members like Aladdin or Tarzan?

IIRC you need Donald and Goofy with you to activate Trinities, so I'm thinking of sticking with them all the time to avoid backtracking. Am I missing anything here?

Some of them have good abilities I guess. I personally always use Donald and Goofy because of trinities in KH1.

KH2 does it right. It's fun to use the new party member limits too.
 
A lot of the music is better, but there is also a lot that loses something in the transition IMO. Hand in Hand and Hollow Bastion are two that stand out as really lacking in comparison to the original synth.
