If you're going for a run of the standard Final Mix difficulty, there's really no problem with going sword. If you're playing on Proud, Staff is the best way to go. +2 Max MP and Stun Impact really makes a difference.

What about Critical?

Proud + Sword is considered the Hard Mode of the game, because sword is the worst.

Shield gets Slap Shot, Stun Impact and Leaf Bracer early on. Also Lucky Strike.

Leaf Bracer is the best Final Mix thing you get early (you cannot die when casting cure) and you get more item slots than with Sword or Staff.
Also indeed you get Second Chance before others and it's pretty much the best ability in every KH game :lol.
#teamstaff
Leaf Bracer is good. What does Slap Shot do? Sounds silly, unless it means you get to bat projectiles back at foes.

I like having great offensive abilities early. And I like the challenge.

Slap Shot is a quick upward slap with the keyblade, with no swing time. It's basically instant and criticals a lot. You might think about the KH2 version of the ability, which is forgetable, but this one is in a whole different league.
If you want Sephiroth to be any challenging at all, unequip Slide Dash (and Leaf Bracer too).

Maybe I'm crazy, but ive always thought KH1 Sephiroth is pretty tough
Edit: let me also say that I have beaten Terra on Critical in FM+ and obviously Sephy isn't -that- hard (by a ways). But he is still pretty hard
If you really want it to be any challenge unequip all your abilities. Oh and play through zero xp while you are at it. And unequip all your equipment. If you ain't no wuss hack the game and make the wooden sword the weapon you wield.
or just have fun

Harder than KH2 Sephiroth, but still not all that hard. FM makes him a little harder since the startup for his Flame Pillar attack is quicker, and MP rage got knocked down a peg, so you can't tank hits from him for free MP as effectively.
Slide Dash makes safely closing the distance between him way easier, and Leaf Bracer pretty much speaks for itself.

Well im about 20 lvls over my area
pretty much the best thing ever. Ive hardly played 20 hours haha. I gotta get to lvl 100, synthesize everything, do the whole journal, beat it again speed run. Its time consuming dammit!
Synthesizing in JP is extremely time consuming

Nobody has apparently said anything bout Re:CoM framerate so I guess they fixed it. Apparently it has a few remastered tracks too according to the interlview, I wonder what they are. Probably the end boss theme or sumthin.
Also the interview made it sound like it was a hard job. I guess they won't be able to do full treatment for BBS after the behemot that is kh2fm ;<

I hope Lord of the Castle is remastered :/

Well I'd imagine it would be the first one on their list :lol. Did Shinomura (sp) even do the gba com music? Wasnt lord of the castle only new song in the remake?
Staff all the way!
I used to be a sword guy, but that extra MP's great.
And I finished Proud mode and I can confirm you only gain the trophy for the difficulty you were playing on, so it'll require at least 3 playthroughs to platinum. I suppose that's alright considering you can split them into different runs for things like the speedrun trophy or no equipment.

Yeah, it took me quite a few hours to synthesis everything. Farming those rare heartless for items again and again takes awhile.Synthesizing in JP is extremely time consuming
Well I guess I'll do
Proud Mode do most everything run.
Normal Mode never change equipment run.
Beginner speed run.

In all fairness, BBS doesn't really need the treatment, since it's music was streamed instead of restricted to the PS2's soundfont like KH1 and KH2.

Always play the offensive role in games. Leave the mage stuff to NPC's.

Yeah, one difficulty for each trophy doesn't sound that bad anyway.
Is there anything more offensive than clearing a whole screen with a single Thundaga?
Napalm_Frank

Still a bummer.
Oh well KH2FM soundtrack is pretty immense. It's just over 100 tracks compared to KH1FM which has 80. Of course there are quite a few songs from KH1 in KH2 so they could reuse tracks if they wanted to. Actually if they reuse the tracks from KH1HD they could bring the workload down to around 80.
Well it would be neat to have few key tracks remastered for BBS like they did with Re:CoM and Days. Final boss themes, Ventus theme ect. They can just leave the Coded as it is :lol. I don't even think the cutscenes use any new tracks so I guess they can use the tracks they remastered already :/.

Just started watching this guy stream a level 1 run
http://www.twitch.tv/cyberman6
and apparently, EXP Zero has some sort of effect that lowers boss damage a bit. Things that would one shot Sora at Level 40-50 or so are only taking half of his HP. He just beat Unknown/
, and he apparently beat Kurt Zisa already.

Not sure if I like it or not. The only reason one would do it is the immense challenge anyway.

I'm actually okay with it, if only because the alternative would equate to playing through the game without getting hit a single time.
As stupid as level 1 runs were in every game after KH2FM, you at least get Once More and Second Chance.
Well you get basically zero abilities, unlike KHII where hp and other cool abilities are given via story events instead of lvl. KHI doesnt give you hp any other way then lvling.

Nooo you need to do Monstro after Hollow Bastion cause Ansem is there :lol. That part doesn't even make any sense.
I love how they thought about if you did Tarzan before Wonderland (its snow white being captured instead of alice) but then you can just go beat hollow bastion then go back to monstro and see riku
