Glad to see my super-cheap method to beat Ursula 2 still works in Final Mix :3
Swim
and then you can finish her off with 3 or 4 Thunders if you want.
Slow, but worth it for the avoided frustration
Edit: Forgot to mention that you need to have her on Lock-on at all times while swimming.
Swim
circles around her from as far away as you can (you'll never get hit), while mashing circle and triangle. In 10 minutes or so your party members will have taken care of most of her HP

Bought the game today and played it two and half hours already. Chose proud difficulty, the staff and dropped the shield.
Proud mode definitely isn't easy. My first fight was against Tidus and he killed me in just two hits. I think he beat me three times before I managed to take him down. Selfie beat me two times and Wakka once. I did some leveling up with Wakka and left the island when I was at level 6.
Guard armor really kicked my ass. Tried to defeat him three times but he could kill me in just two hits. I killed some enemies to gain one level, bought guard chain and the fight got much easier.
This game is still really good.

Somewhat frequent clips in the audio, usually always after I first start the game up. But other than that it seems to be working fine, if anything it seems louder than most PS3 games are for me for some reason (which is a good thing. I hate how low ps3 games sound on my TV compared to TV shows)

Lvl 8 atm and completed Traverse Town, grabbed thunder from Coliseum and got my ass kicked once in the preliminaries, now at Wonderland finding evidence.
I never got the DI grinding :lol.
I did that on my Expert run back in vanilla.
This time, on Proud, I got off DI at level 4 or so.
... I needed to grind a few levels before I could take on Guard Armor...

I'm so going to try this next time! She's by FAR my most hated boss in KH1.Glad to see my super-cheap method to beat Ursula 2 still works in Final Mix :3

And I envy those of you that get to experience this for the first time :/
I did it even back in the vanilla version. I like to get myself up to a solid level to prep myself for the challenges ahead. Some weird habit of mine.
Was so easy though - just taking advantage of TP's Riku sets himself up for. Can grind like 50xp in a single fight with him.

It works on Proud as well but the battle would be at least 3 times longer, since she would keep knocking out your party members. Whatever the difficulty, Second Wind is a must for this strategy.
Also, I forgot to mention that you need to have her on Lock-on while spamming Triangle to have your party members keep up the attacks.

Combo Master is one of the best new things they added into Final Mix.
Didn't think it'd make a big difference but killing airborne enemies got a lot easier.

Going for a second play through. Really want the time trophy.
I unlocked this...when I killed the last batch of heartless in the very last part of the game. x_x

Level 55 for me under Staff.
Noticing it's a lot easier getting levels now than before. #TeamDusk

Wow, as someone said you CAN put the fire out with a blizzard spell from the stove on the Trickmaster fight. Made the fight super easy on proud.
This is one of the reasons I love KH1. It has all these small details everywhere and even after multiple playthroughs you can still discover something new.

Is this before you initiate the fight?
I'll have to remember when I get to Wonderland.
So I'm finally off the island (got off at level 21 so I could have Scan) and I'm cruising through the early stages on Proud. I know at some point it will catch up but not really sure when. Went with Dawn because I had some strange notion that I could finish the game at around level 50 so might as well grind it early.
Anybody got an idea of what is the optimal level to fight the final boss on Proud?

During the fight.

Level 21? You crazy, man.
Also, the optimal level to fight the final boss is obviously the highest one possible. I'm sure it's beatable with a very low level, though. Not sure what you're asking.

No, it's not coming out digitally.
Because of the late grind. I have a suspicion choosing Dawn will come back to bite me hard so I'm just trying to gauge.
Jus wondering, is anyone planing to get the hard cover guide that comes out on the 24th?

Cheerss anyway. I saw this in the shop yesterday but assumed it was on digital sale as well. Grrr.You grinded to level 21 on Destiny Islands? WTF :lol
well i dont know about the best level to fight the last boss on proud but late game grinding is easy in FM anyway. you just equip the abilities to quadruple the tech-xp and then go to fight the ice titan. experience a plenty.
Not #TeamStaff but I would never drop it. AP is too valuable.

I started playing KH1 last night. I haven't played it since my first run-through on the PS2. I forgot how jarring the model switching was. It looks pretty awful when Sora switches to Low Res minimally animated version mid cutscene. I love how crisp the graphics are though in HD.

Gamespot gave it a 7.0.
Are we playing the same game? Didn't they review the PS2 game higher than that? Yep, they gave it a 8.2. But this is better than the original though. More content, remastered soundtrack, better visuals.
I don't understand some reviewers.

Sniperwilds DONT PLAY
I remember a guy on Gamefaqs who successfully power leveled to 99. It's ridiculous, all I wanted to get out of there. I can't stand Destiny Islands.
badcrumble

Yeah, I really don't understand that. You level faster by fighting enemies with greater experience, and there's nothing fun about one-hit KOing bosses.
Nothing about that seems remotely fun or rewarding. I'll grant you that I power leveled up just enough to get Stun Impact (lv6) so it'd help me against mobs of Shadows, but leveling to 21 (or 99, for goodness' sake) seems sort of absurd unless you're trying to remove all challenge from the game. If that's what you want, just play on Beginner.
That is mental hahahah
I like power leveling here and there but that takes the biscuit somewhat. I have very low patience levels as it is to get to even level 10. That's my limit for starting areas in games though (of course depending on what's available to grind against). Luckily fighting Riku over and over makes grinding easy.
IIRC, he fought Wakka in particular to parry the blitz ball back at him for tech P each time.

Oh my god, really? But you get more experience parrying Riku and Tidus anyway. Tidus gives you 2 tech exp per parry; can't remember what Riku gives you.
It's even quicker to grind against Wakka? Hmm.... Might keep that in mind when I do my next run. Riku's easy because of many of his repeated attacks allowing for easy TP. Can grind the TP in each fight.
Here is a video of the guy who did it.

And I may have been mistaken, he used Tidus to get 2 tech P from parries.

I would say Tidus. Wakka can only take 9 hits and the blitzball counter is also a hit. With Wakka you get about 9-14 TP depending on how many times he makes that crit shot. Tidus on the other hand, is infinite. I got about 600 TP out of 1 fight that lasted 10 minutes.
You just run away for a second, turn around and attack as he is running towards you (The timing is really lenient). Just keep doing this and you get 2TP a shot (4 if you have the ability).
Damn that looks way quicker and easier. Definitely doing that on my Proud mode run for a bit.
Still....level 100....hnnnngh
Hmm. Strength is usually one of my favorite stats, but it seems like people think the difference when dropping sword is negligible and easy to fix with stat ups. Might follow this advice.
