I think I'm picking shield and ditching sword. Playing proud of course. No other way.
It depends on who you ask, I actually found some of the
Organization XIII members
Rest assured though, if you ever felt that KHII didn't have enough challenge to it, Final Mix wholly fixes that issue and then some.
I read that as "Lightning Sentinent" and had horrible ideas of Lightning as a side boss in KHIII. :-( Reading through this thread has pushed me to buy the game though, The nostalgia is too much!

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?
No internal cooldown on second chance either? So essentially, everytime you cast the weakest cure on yourself, you're always going to survive two hits? Fuck me. Oh well, guess I'm grinding to 99 before encountering Sephi :lol?

I'd do proud as well, but since one of my main goals is to finally beat Sephiroth I doubt I could ever do it on that difficulty without frustrating the hell out if myself.

Where do you go for that in KH1?
I never got past Level 60.
I know in KH2 there's the top of Pride Rock where you can farm XP.
Yup. Now try summoning Tinker Bell in the boss fights that allow summoning. Regen + Auto-Life + Second Chance. It's almost unfair.

I'm positive I got to 99 in KH back in the days... What's crazy though is that I remember leveling Sora to lvl 30 or something like that at the first beach part (fight against Wakka or something)... What the fuck did I spend my youth doing?!

The last world? There is an area there that spawns many many mobs, you can just reenter to fight them again.
Yeah, I had a so much trouble with
Roxas
Did not see any at Gamestop and they didn't mention it like they usually do for new games.
Edit: Just downloaded the dynamic theme. The addition of the menu sounds made me giddy.

I just grinded some of the last tiers in Hades cup when leveling in late game. No clue if there is a better way.
Pride Rock was unfortunately nerfed in KH2FM. They removed the respawning swarm of bees.

So how come KH2 wasn't included in this pack? Just seems half baked releasing this without the complete story.
Bummer. Doesn't look like any of the Best Buy stores have it in stock either.

They will do a second collection with KH2 Final Mix, BBS Final Mix and some other crap.
So can they release 2.5 with KHII, BBS and maybe the cinematics of 3D to fleece more money from us..

Seriously though, not getting Second Chance until level 90 with the Staff suxxxxxxxxxx.
At least the Triangle thing will make it easier to pull off interrupt moves against Sephiroth, but goddamn, having Heartless Angel be a 100% death sentence until level 90 (when ordinarily I *get* to level 90 by grinding against Sephy) is gonna suck HARD.

Mine shipped from Amazon and I already got my Dynamic Theme. It's a nicely done theme to boot.

I do Hades Cup and Ice Titan.
Pride Rock was a bit absurd. Takes what? Two hours to go from lv36 to 99? Something like that.
Anyway, the 4 rooms surrounding the Tombstones in tWtNW are full of nobodies that drop the most important materials, so it's two birds with one stone.
One thing that I like about KH2FM is that even with lv99 you'd still need some Guard UPs if you can't evade everything. KH1 Sora at lv100 is just ridiculous.
Oh, and one more thing about the choices: it's widely agreed that Proud + Sword is the Critical Mode of KH1. Keep that in mind, people.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
The more I think about the first KH the more I think that Sora really didn't need to go on his adventure. Ansem wanted to open
but Sora, along with us, knows that... now more than ever...
is
So by that rationale wouldn't the whole Ansem problem have taken care of itself with or without Sora?
the door to Kingdom Hearts and flood the universe with darkness

light.
The door opens and kills Billy Zane thus ending Sora's journey.

Without Sora they couldn't have closed the door to darkness. Heartless consume the universe. The end.

I'm not sure, but I think the reason it does that is because Mickey is behind there - it seems to actually be a door to the Realm of Darkness, not to Kingdom Hearts.
edit: ALSO THE STORY IS NONSENSE
Let me just confirm this... If want a Sephiroth rematch and try to beat him in Final Mix, but also want to pick Staff for the bonus MP, I should choose the options in the beginning to allow me to start at night, to make level 90 easier to get to. Should probably drop Sword, too, as AP are more useful than Strength.
Are there any skills that boost XP gain? At least Ice Titan is a piece of cake if you have your parry timing right. It's actually kind of relaxing to fight it, just lobbing its icicles back at it. Or is it meaner in Final Mix?
And of course, not play on Final Mix Beginner, because that would be a boring win. Final Mix Normal it is.

Can't you simply cast Curaga to evade Heartless Angel?

There is equipment that boosts XP gain.
Ah, good. Not like you need anything other than the longest Keyblade you have for that one. Or just the Guard skill and the Kingdom Key for fun.

I'm not sure if Leaf Bracer blocks Heartless Angel, actually. Can't remember.

The limited edition case is so nice.
Especially since it was the same price as the regular.
Second chance at level 90 for staff? ._.

An invincible heal shield against an infinite damage attack. Well there's something to try out.
Come on Friday, I want to play Final Mix...
It does. I recall getting hit by it and frantically trying to heal before he lands a quick strike.

Glad to have that confirmed. I guess #teamstaff won't have it so hard after all.
Do the trophies for defeating ### heartless & enemy gummi ships transfer from save to save/difficulty? Gonna aim for a speed/no equipment change run on Beginner, then do Normal & perhaps try to collect everything on that diff., then do Proud while leveling up to 100. Maybe go back to Beginner & do some stuff like beating the cups afterwards.
& ugh, time still counts if you pause the game or go to the XMB. Gonna have to be careful & do the speedrun during times I know I won't be interrupted.

Just picked the game up from Best Buy. I'll fire it up when I get home from work. Aww yis.

Just got back from picking the game up at GameStop. Too bad I won't be able to play till 5. Oh well, just a few more hours.
Hmm, doesn't Leaf Bracer break this game wide open, actually? As long as Sora touches the ground, or even is just neutral in the air, he gets a few seconds of invincibility and a heal. If you know when to do that, you can block a lot of strong attacks.
I take it that Final Mix Proud is made with this in mind?

It doesn't really break the game, given that you'd need to get pretty damn good at learning the timing of all sorts of attacks to be really good with it (if you were deliberately using it as a block). And you need time to actually go on the offense, too.
Seriously, if it's just about invincibility frames, Dodge Roll is already darn good for most things.
Right. Using it like that is something you can only really do against enemies you know in and out. Like Sephiroth.
Hmm, can you Dodge Roll through Heartless Angel? Or will you need to Leaf Bracer it?
Started with 358/2 since it's the only one I haven't completed. Not really a fan since there's so many jumps. One thing that annoys me is when they fulfill the "Promise."
When Roxas is talking Xion's hood is down. When Axel speaks, her hood is up. Did no one think to check the continuity?

Even then, Sephiroth's combo strings (just like Mysterious Figure's) are too long to be blocked by a single Cure animation.
