Oh I definitely agree he has greatly improved as a character! I just remembered how much I didn't like him before when I first played Kingdom Hearts 1.
I like so him so much more now.

I feel like a lot of the people that say KH games are easy rely on Second Chance/Once More.
Take off those two abilities and suddenly the game gets much, much harder. Those two abilities are basically a crutch to allow people to make a few more mistakes without dying quickly.
Part of the reason why the KH2FM Lv1 run is difficult is that you don't have access to SC/OM.

I agree. Riku is the best character of this franchise IMO. His arc has been the most interesting. Aqua is great too.

Got my copy, installed the updates, ready to roll.
To think, five years ago, the KH1 through KH3D was spread across no less than 3-4 platforms, with the definitive content versions of the mainline games seemingly stuck in Japan for the foreseeable future. And now those same games are on one console, in 1080p60, using the most content complete version of their respective releases. I'd have slapped fire out someone if they told me this would happen back in 2012.
Time to dive in to KH1FM! Planning on doing a Sword/Dawn playthrough this time around.

No but if you learn speedrunning strat, even lv1 can be mostly "easy".
I hate it when people trivialize game as if this was the intended way to play them.
Nobody that played lv1 blind would dare to call it easy. It was rewarding and challenging, sometimes frustrating, but surely not "easy".

Ill try playing a bit more strategically, like a souls game. For the most part ive found that mashing x and powering through enemies while using stop or curaga or having tink around will get the job done but i probably need to go about this differently.
The "souls" experience is on KH2 Critical mode level 1
... It's gonna be brutal but a lot of fun if you take the "die and retry" approach. Which those load times are a godsend for. It made dying not frustrating. On ps3 I almost cried every time :/ . fucking busted port that was, this ps3 version. The ps4 version is like heaven.

You have to get to level 20 in the Roxas prologue.

Apparently a lot of those issues came from streaming the game through the share button.
I've played over 14 hours on the base ps4 and it hasn't shuttered once.
It was a faulty install.
This is the only conclusion I came up with, based off everybody's reports.
The solution is reinstalling the game. It has fixed it for everybody that had the issue (a minority).

I dont have much of a desire to play these games on a higher difficulty, one on normal being sufficiently leveled is giving me enough of a head ache as it is. Im still having fun though which is why i keep playing. I just wanna experience the kh story from start to finish before 3 as when i played one and two prior (never beat one) it was more than ten years ago.

not really missable but make sure you get all the Xehanort's Reports in BBS before beating one of the characters story, if you go back to get one after beating there story the game can glitch out and not raise the levels of the mobs in the post game making grinding much harder

I can beat KH1FM Unknown, Lingering Will and Mysterious Figure practically blindfolded yet all these years later, I still get bodied by Riku's damn wake up kick attack when you spar with him.

Man, anyone else finding KH1 harder than they remember? Cerberus is giving me a bit of trouble, just on normal difficulty too. Is there a good spot to grind when getting to this point or perhaps something i've forgotten that makes it a bit easier.
EDIT: Oh, its an optional fight. haha!

One thing that has always bugged me about Kingdom Hearts 1, why isn't Hades the final boss of the Hades Cup?
Certainly not playing as Terra.

I've never bothered beating him with with Terra except once in the PSP version.
Terribly designed as the fight is, I got so good at it with Ventus and Aqua that I started finding some out of the box strategies for beating him, using nothing but Ice Slide with Ventus being the highlight.
The fight is still ass, though.
Hey guys, I am wondering if you can help me out with something... I recently bought this collection to play with my niece. She has pretty low confidence when it comes to games, and I am trying to get her to do things herself without relying on me to do the "hard parts" for her. How easy would you say the beginner setting is? Are there many (or any) frustrating platforming sections? I just want to know what I am getting us into.

Start her with kh2 if anything or bbs aqua so she feels more comfortable. Kh1 is the only one with any form of tough platforming I'd say

Should i skip bringing the guest characters to focus on levelling up Donald and Goofy? Or does it not matter very much?
I've only played this game once, and that was 15 years ago. Its all completely fresh.

Keep them around for trinity spots. Although some worlds require the guest character
Character's not in your party still gain levels. You could be fighting in Olympus Coliseum and Tarzan will still level up.
I always take Donald and Goofy in KH1 since the guest characters can't activate trinity marks.
Faster leveling past 50 is the quickest way to reach level 100.

They're all lovable. Ventus and Aqua are just a teeny bit higher (for...personal reasons) but Terra is also lovable in his own scampy way.
My opinion.

The best that's what got me hooked
Sora looks like he's about to play baseball
Aqua just don't give a damn with that nonchalant stance.
Riku idek what that is

Something about that always bothered me but it certainly is..unique. Aqua is best. Aqua is the essence of wetness.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I like all three BBS protags
Terra is a dumbass, but that's why I love him. He looks cool too. He has the most potential for an interesting character arc going forward, too.

The real question is who is the undisputed king of edge: Terra or Riku?
Blackleg-sanji1

Rikus edge is gone pretty much so for now still terra
Riku needs to bring back the edge in KH3.
