It's not on PSN and I don't expect it to show up anytime soon. I also haven't played it so I'm a bit bummed out and don't want to wait until 2.5.

That's what I feared. Time to put up with these rare heartlesses and the bullshit drop rates.If you soloed Hades, you're way past the synth time. Go get some materials

Wow, I'm impressed. This is something I'm not even going to try to attempt. In fact, I don't think I'm going to play the game at all. I did the tutorial and it just didn't sit well with me. I'll just find a youtube channel that posted all the story elements.
Time to shelve this for a while lol
I'm probably gonna start this soon. For those who went after the platinum, how'd you go about it? I was thinking this
Finish Proud
Speed Run on Normal
Go for a complete playthrough on Beginner. Just make sure to not change equipment or get a continue until I finish the game. Then i can reload and do whatever.
Sound about right?

Patients of a saint I won't even attempt I'll watch all the cutscenes via YouTube
By the time Birth By Sleep & its Final Mix were released, Square Enix was releasing pretty much everything (new) on PSP digitally, even a two-UMD game like FF Type-0 (some older games are not available for some reasons). Both Dissidias, Tactics Ogre, FFIII, FFIV Complete, FFT:WOTL, 3rd Birthday etc. Yet neither Birth By Sleep on PSP nor Dream Drop Distance on 3DS were released digitally, even though DDD was even released at a time when Nintendo opened their eShop for retail games' DD, so having something as big as a Kingdom Hearts game for the opening could have been big. I don't see a reason why they wouldn't release BBS digitally, except that Disney maybe has something to do with it.
Meh, you should really give it a chance. The card combat system opens up a lot once you start getting more cards and it's actually quite fun. Perhaps just look up some efficient deck builds if you can't (be bothered to) come up with them yourself.

Not only is DDD less fun than KH2FM and BBS/BBSFM, its story will also be completely fucking incomprehensible if you haven't played *both* of those.
I've already played a bunch of the game on Proud as it is. My sister 'stole' the game from me since I was playing Xillia and then GTA at the time. She got stuck on Proud mode every now and then so i had to help her a few times. Watching her finish it makes me want to play KH2 so bad...
I mean I had been planning a complete Proud playthrough, and combining the other runs on Beginner, but the difficulty trophies not stacking changed that

I'm really hoping the 2.5 HD Remix difficulty trophies do stack (especially since KH2FM has *four* difficulty levels, IIRC).
Napalm_Frank

Yup. BBS too :lol.
Look foreward to playing the game through 4 times with each of the 3 characters and leveling all characters to 100. Tho you can allways go for the good old Exp Walk+rubber band.
I do pity those who play BBS before FM version of KH2. One of my favourite scenes in the game is when
Terras Armor is revealed behind Xehanort and Rage Awakened starts playing. I kinda forgot the whole boss from FM and possible ties to BBS and then it just perfectly hit me why ''Terra'' was still in that place anyhow making it at least semi canon possibility as a boss.
I can't wait to fight the (KH2: FM spoilers)
Organization XIII Data Replicas and the Mushroom XIII challenges

Yeah, maybe I'll give it a fair shot. If I run into trouble, I'll glance and some guides online or just come here and ask. =)

I was gonna a post how I beat both of those games and how incomprehensible the story still is, but I noticed FM on them.
2.5 ReMix can't come soon enough.
I hope there is at least a trophy for using Exp Zero.
I also want this as a trophy: Beat the hades cup without taking damage. Bronze. Trophy icon is picture of pete laughing. Trophy will be called "HA! This kid, what a sucker!"

There is an english patch for KH2FM and there is also an upcoming english patch for KH1FM as well.

That was Hashimoto (not surprising coming from him as of course he wants to sell the first collection) who told us that go play the first collection for now.
Some quotes from Nomura:
And before someone takes that last quote wrong: no, of course KH3 doesn't release before 2.5. They just have most of the staff working on it and a smaller team on 2.5.
Well that's a timely release :lol
Holy shit. Can't believe someone went through all that trouble. Maybe they had a workaround to access the text.

I really love what i;ve played of KH series so far. KH1, KH2, 358 days, and chain of memories are all enjoyable. i just wish all the games were on one platform. I want to play birth by sleep and DDD as they seem to flesh out xehanorts character and give us info on what KH3 will be about. I;ve heard Coded it mostly irrelevant?
Time to shelve this for a while lol
How bad was it?
I was going to do it, made it to Atlantica, then for some reason, the game froze on me after a cutscene. Is this common? It was enough to make me drop Re:CoM for now. I'll probably pick back up on it during the holidays.
Yeah, Coded's only meaning to the overall story is to basically hint at a couple of things coming up in the future as well as explain what reads in the letter Sora & Co get at the end of KHII (and why Mickey sent it). But those are basically things you could just read about from the Interwebs (as in, DDD is about
Sora & Riku taking the Mark of Mastery test to become Keyblade Masters

Riku mode, Wonderland. 9 cards, 5 being the highest. A masterpiece of player hating design.
badcrumble

I mean, basically Wonderland is just not about using Riku's Sleights ever, unfortunately. The hard thing is that you also basically have a ridiculously hard time getting into Dark Mode too.
See this makes no sense to me as a reason, because then what's the reason for Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core.

For CC the rumours are about the theme song and some lisencing problems for digital release. No idea with VP.
Beat Dragon Maleficent and RikuAnsem and they weren't such a big issue, fairly easy I thought.
Then I visit other worlds. God damn I'm getting crushed. Gonna revisit worlds and do some white trinities so I can boost up my levels. Maybe get a few synth items along the way.

Wow it's a whole new game Re:Com now guys, I'm actually doing things (beginner cuz iSuck) but still I'm having fun :O, but let me tell you I'm not enjoying boss battles, I have no problem to cancel their sleights but they are full of 8+ cards and I barely have 1 9 fire :|
EDIT: I have 1 new question though, should I learn new sleights if I can everytime when I lv up?(this is also a question for the Sleight Master trophy) Can I learn all of them by other means than lvling up?

These were the only things I hated in the whole game. I would wait for one to jump up onto the walk-way and I would take it out, but it would take forever. Eventually I found out you can just stand on the ground where they spawn and STOP them immediately. Made the process a lot easier.

It's too bad Re:Chain of Memories is seemingly missing a bunch of cards that existed in the original (like Photon Debugger).

That's pretty much what I ended up doing. After a few hours of farming, there are only 2 rare enemies I haven't farmed yet but all the other ones weren't so terrible. Pink Agaricus is a bit tedious because you have to look for the white shrooms. By my calculations, the suckiest part will be Dark Matters (I'll need 3 or 4) and thus Mythril. I haven't touched the last dungeon yet so I might just Bambi the fuck out of the end of the world to get these Mythril.

Doing my standard run right now. Finished Beginner in 10 hours. Would have been shorter if not for the Kingdom Keyblade's weak stats and the fact that I can't wear good accessories.
Picked Staff and gave up Shield for this run.

Win 100 Duels, huh? At first I figured I wasn't going to be able to do it because I never got the hang of duels when I last played Re:CoM (just spammed shit and ignored it whenever possible). But now seems I've figured out why the enemies pull out 9s and 8s when my deck is comprised of everything but.
Naturally, it's all the King's fault.
Just beat
(barely). Anyway, something I noticed from way back (GBA version): Riku's first set of World Cards after Hallow Bastion are (seemingly) comprised of worlds he had visited at some point in KH1, whether blatantly or secretly. However, if that were indeed what was intended it's odd they forgot Wonderland, since

he was the one who nabbed Alice during Sora's fight with the cards

Close to the end in RR with
Man
Replica in Twilight Town kicking my ass :d

Lexaeus is ridicilously easy. Especially considering he is supposedly one of the strongest Org members. Zexion at least killed me once cause I didn't focus but Lex got like few attacks in and rest of the time he just stands there like an oaf. I remember Lex being quite easy in the original CoM as well so I guess they at least were faithful to the original.

Ah, Platinum get! Feels good man. I'll try CoM this week.

Just watched the 358/2 movie. The game probably has my favorite story of the entire series, and having it detached from that awful grindfest of a game is great.
You really gotta feel for Xion, Roxas and Axel. All they wanted to do be friends, and they basically just get shit on.
I don't think I can do the Riku story in CoM. I finished Sora's, but that game is just so boring and grindy I don't think it's worth it. Maybe I'll throw it on easy and just blow through it.

On beginner you can blitz through it in like 4 hours including cutscenes.

Took me 5:55 in proud including scenes. And I ended up having way more room cards than I needed.
