The wiki says do laps of traverse town hotel, hall, room, room, hall etc. It can net you about 2000xp a lap.
Throw the gizmo shop in for good measure.

Being above level 70 makes the optional bosses significantly easier, particularly due to guaranteed having the Second Chance ability, but really they are technically possible at any level. Being your first time though it would definitely be recommended leveling up.
The key to grinding off Ice Titan is Tech'ing its icicle shots with your Guard. If it's too difficult at this level, then you can use the room before Final Rest to grind for a bit.
Edit: Or the above. Actually Traverse is probably better if you want to get some Synth items, and there's more breathing room.

Thanks. I'm not sure if I went too fast through the tutorial, but I'm not even sure what CP does but I have been increasing that.
Edit: I see what CP is for now.
I think I'll try these, thanks. Not new to Kingdom Hearts, just never fought the optional bosses and was content with just finishing the game before. How much time are we talking here before I'm able to tackle the post game content, 2, 5, 10?
Dunno if I should do that or continue with the series, there's a lot of games to play through!

Now that I'm playing CoM for the first time, I see a few similarities with Flick Rush in DDD.

Phantom definately is doable (and easiest), just did it myself yesterday around the same level, same for Ice Titan. Kurt Zisa has one very dangerous attack that can be a pain but it's skippable if you want to do a little cheating.
Sephy and Unknown you prolly want to be higher level.

KH1FM optional bosses are a lot easier than KH2FM.
Even the Unknown isn't that hard.
Especially Sephirorth, even when i was a kid I found the battle fairly easy if you are 80+ level.I've beaten the game like 8-9 times and almost every time I would beat Sephiroth with my first try
.You may be unlucky with the 1hp left move that he has, but anything else is fine.
And we're talking about proud mode here, not even standard xD

Up to level 59 now so gonna try Phantom and Ice Titan if those are the easiest.
Defeated Ice Titan first try. Took 20 minutes though.

They're easier but also less exploitable, IMO, which is nice.KH1FM optional bosses are a lot easier than KH2FM.

I get stutters when playing in Remote Play as well so I guess Remote Play, Streaming and Share Play all put additional strain on the PS4 that the game doesn't handle well.

KH1 ending spoilers:
Doesn't matter how old I am or how many times I play through KH1. But man when Kairi seems the wallpainting of Sora sharing a paopu fruit with her and she draws one for him as well, it gets me everytime ;(
Hope they also don't show a cool world like that in marketing as well lol.

Doing the Speedster for KH1. Under 2 and a half hours and I'm at Halloween Town at level 22. Doing alright so far I think.
KH1 is a bunch of mediocre pieces that form something greater than it's parts.
Yeah once he starts his DM it's endless, however there is a very noticable pattern that always repeats that allows you to get a few attacks in between the end of one and the start of the next. It's just annoying because you only get like a few attacks, then spend around 45 second avoiding the lasers.
yes, the second kingdom hearts is insanely easier on proud just because mechanics allow you to really master.......KH1 is just so flipping clunky and stiff compared to 2.
I would probably break my first controller ever on KH1 if I did a proud run lol
my first time through was today. It sucked mostly. Those stupid lifts, ugh.
It's so weird cause it's one of the highlights of KH1, yet every time I actually get there on a playthrough, I dread the actual "playing" part of it.

I'm liking CoM way more than I thought I would. It's a slower game but I like that there's some thinking involved while still being quick on your feet. It adds a tension that you don't really get in the other games. I mean, you could just mash but that doesn't seem like it would be very fun here.

i used to dread places like Hollow Bastion and Deep Jungle as a kid, but i seem to breeze through those sections now. i got to the final save spot at about 12 hours.
Would appreciate an answer to this.

Beat KH1 on beginner in 7 hours. Man, Hollow Bastion onwards was a mess with the Kingdom Key.
Those Ansem fights at the end are tense, right?!

I don't know how I did it on PS3!
was level 61 at the final save in 19 hours, had all dalmations, trinities and doing tournaments normal........all and all.....the slow leveling of dusk early on made me feel that just going midday would seem better if I wasn't going for a maxed out character.
Leveling balanced/midday in xp seems to be just perfect balance for both in the beginning and end game.
Dawn easily if your going for that kingdom key rush though
EDIT: WTF my KH 1 save was only 19 hours......this game took weeks of my life as a kid, holy hell......you never realize how small some old games are until you go back to them.
All in all KH2 aged insanely well, music is god tier, combat is god tier.....just everything was literally fixed going from 1 to 2.
KH2 still holds sooooooooooo well in todays gaming world. Back when you didn't need side quests to do shit.
KH1 though......yes, I am not going back to that lol

I am seriously in awe of the load times and the fact that it takes me longer to power on my console and get to the home menu than it does to boot up KH1 and get right into the action.
If it's amazing me this much in KH1, KH2 is going to be a fuckin' religious experience.
He can, but it's rare. I imagine that was probably intentional since getting around it would be tough as hell without glide.

Now go back to 0.2 where the game struggles to bring the menu up.
yup. and then it'll get stuck on a wall trying to turn around, or it'll automatically flip the camera whether you want it to or not (example, the save spot in Monstro's mouth)
