Play-Asia was out of stock last I checked and it's more expensive at Nippon-Yasan (at least without p&p, not sure how much less/more it is with p&p than CDJapan). CDJapan is probably your best bet, although how is it that expensive? I got it for 52 which is about 65$. Did you pick some fast shipping option?

Man, Dream Drop Distance could have been so much better if they just let us pick between Sora and Riku, Didn't have Flowmotion, and Spirits didn't exist. I don't understand why Nomura tried to bring so much new shit into this one game

I think that the drop system was implemented because they knew that we'd all do as much as we could of one before switching to the other and they wanted to keep their two story's relatively close together.
You shouldn't post when you're drunk.
I'm a teetotaler. Disney buys Nintendo after Nintendo buys SEGA. The next smash has Sora, Spider-Man, Luke Skywalker, Elsa, P5 Protagonist and Buzz Lightyear.
Kingdom Hearts gets Tattooine and New York worlds and Link, Zamus, and Minato as characters.
This becomes canon:

It sounds like you just want a professionally funded MUGEN.
You missed the KH part.
It sounds like you want a professionally funded MUGEN with an adventure mode.
Nope.
A mass crossover fighting game and rpg would be cool but would probably be too overwhelming. Plus some companies would have problems with certain characters fighting each other. That's why Dissidia wasn't a Kingdom Hearts fighting game.
Incorrect. Dissidia was never pitched. Nomura didn't think Disney would have gone for it so he didn't ask.
They wouldn't have.

Oh but let's not forget
and the medley of death in the Incredibles.
I categorically reject your assertion that Disney would have automatically rejected a KH fighter. ESPECIALLY considering how much they want in on the boys market. It all comes down to how it's pitched.
Your point? Disney doesn't take issue with violence or death. That they would have all that in their films and would reject a fighter is absurd. Plus, they aren't that attached to the KH characters and the only traditional Disney playables would have been villains and Mickey, Donald, Goofy, with a possible Pete. You can't just say with anything remotely approaching certainty that Disney would have shot down a KH Dissidia. Especially when the concept of Kingdom Hearts itself was absurd before it happened. Did you play Dissidia? It's not that violent. Are you familiar with classic Disney? They fight all the time. It's not even a stretch.
The way dissidia is made, yes they would.
Whatever, knower of things you can't possibly know. Didn't realize we had a Disney exec here in the forums.
I don't see a serious-toned fighting game using disney characters (at least not the main ones) being a thing. Even their KH attacks are noticeably cartoony compared to other people.
Because they definitely wouldn't have matched the game tonally to Kingdom Hearts. There's absolutely no way they would have made it so KH Dissidia was in line with the other KH titles.

Actually when Goofy got hit by the rock in KH 2 they thought he was dead and Mickey wanted to kill things to get revenge so
That part never made sense to me considering how much punishment Goofy's taken.

Well they waited a whole 10 seconds to check to see if he would wake up.
Also, we wouldn't have had that not-overdone-cape/clothe throwing moment by Mickley.

i hate deviantart
I swear, killing enemies as Aqua on critical is like getting blood from a stone. Even if I wasn't going to make Megaflare I'd still grind because it makes things that much of a pain otherwise.
>Implying you couldn't find similarly stupid art on Pixv or image boards
To be fair, deliberately searching for that is pretty much asking for it. :[

It's not just the art. It's the combination of massive amounts of bad art and a lot (not gonna say majority) of the community being insufferable and childish.
I can't speak for the community, since I don't engage in it, but the Bad art is mostly just a consequence of Sturgeon's Revelation. Deviantart is the most popular western art website (Though I imagine Tumblr is going to supersede it in the coming years), so it only follows that most of the art would be middling or worse, since so many people are contributing pieces. That, combined with the Theorem of Narrow Interests means that finding a high quantity of low-quality art is inevitable, especially so for niche fandoms or unpopular characters. As somebody who spends days at a time browsing for art on Pixiv, there's a lot of chaff to sort out even on the best of public creative websites.
>implying that every site doesn't have a fringe
That art I posted earlier was from DA too. Arvalis is on DA. Sakimichan is on DA. But no, the whole site is only its worse elements. 😒
Eh, my post was just a quick one, obviously there are great artists in DA too. I'm not an idiot.
I do think this ">implying" bullshit should stay in the chans though.
I can't very well agree with you here now can I, otherwise I'd look like a massive hypocrite.
I'll just admit I didn't think my initial post through.
e: anyway. my first ever kh2 critical playthrough starts right now. i'll probably never actually finish it but whatever.
Critical isn't too bad, so long as you keep your defensive options in mind at all times and can use them correctly.
Pixiv is pretty much the Japanese analogue to Deviantart (and as you expect, the art there is far more Japan and Anime/Manga -centric, which is a huge boon if that's your main area of interest.) As a tradeoff, Pixiv tends to have lower censorship standards, so that leads to....interesting fanart being rampant unless you filter it out (and even then that's not 100% effective.)

Halfway done with Aqua's story on Critical. Things got a lot more manageable when I got Fission Firaga through clever use of barrier surge in Dwarf Woodlands.
Castle of Dreams is still hell, though. :[
Speaking of that I reallllllllllly hope KH3's critical mode takes after 2's difficulty as opposed to BBS's.

Wish I still had my CRT, I could use that for my N64 games. No RGB converter for NTSC consoles, so they end up looking horrid on my LED Monitor.

I think it has a lot more to do with attempting to balance three wildly differing playstyles than it was an arbitrary "it should be this difficult" bar.

They did a pretty bad job with that though.
What actually happens: Frozen for KH3, Boba Fett optional battle for DDD HD, Toy Story world for BBS Vol.2 on mobile, etc.
Marvel for
KH3 Final Mix
And salt for my fries.

I know that Toy Story is what gets suggested the most (and it's got to be the most iconic Pixar franchise), but I feel as though the Incredibles would absolutely be a better choice as far as the whole action-adventure genre is concerned.
Also, color me very curious to see whether POTC makes a comeback (to roughly cover the events of POTC 2+3). Thematically, the Davy Jones (and return of Barbossa from the dead) stuff ought to dovetail quite nicely with where KH3 is likely to go - even moreso given that POTC3 (and the Davy Jones mythos) centers around a heart as its main macguffin. Seems like a very natural fit to me.
Ordinarily I'd argue that it's too long ago for Disney to focus on it unless it were something iconic like Tron, and I know the films weren't that well-received, but Disney's gearing up to produce POTC 5 and 6 in the next few years, so there are marketing-synergy reasons to do it too.
Yeah, the only character who still feels "right" on critical without deliberately breaking the game is Terra. Ven and Aqua both need to grind in order to do not-pathetic amounts of damage and get access to the commands that make them shine. Aqua in particular suffers badly because at the start of the game her magic options are minimal, and on the physical side she's downright terrible. Takes two or three combos to even kill basic enemies, and Spellweaver turns her physical attacks into an invitation to get killed with their overly-long animations that don't even give invincibility frames. Even though it takes so long to reload magic at the start of the game, Aqua's magic attacks only do marginally more damage than her physical ones, so her DOT with magic is arguably even worse than on the physical side.
TVA are fairly well-balanced on lower difficulties, but the defense buff/attack nerf on critical screw over both Ventus and Aqua badly until they can grab the big guns to override it.

I just finished Kingdom Hearts 1 FM and it went by incredibly fast. It took me 21 hours and like a week and a half. I don't know if I wanna start RE:CoM since I don't really enjoy the game and I just want to move on to 2.5... but eh, maybe. The ending in KH 1 is still amazing and worth the whole ride.
also Aerora is incredibly OP, like, holy shit.
edit: fuck it, I can't do RE:CoM it's just not for me lol
