TR really felt like a work of love from the developers
that world was one of the best in the series, simply for the care that went into itpapertoonz

Summons are so good in KH2.
Walking magnet for Chicken Little basically wrecks any group mob other than the CoR Hot Rods and Devastators.
Genie does massive free damage, especially when mixed with magnet or with duplicates (*cough* Larxene *cough*)
Stitch basically gives you unlimited MP and can stun bosses as well as deflect projectiles. Basically the best summon of the game.
Peter Pan gives you auto-heal, auto-life and stun-locks enemies and makes Nobodies drop MP orbs - super useful in CoR.

It's amazing how quickly Blizzaga can nuke things in CoM. Makes post-Traverse Town battles a lot less of a slog.

Yeah that's a good point. I struggled on PS3 but did it in one try on PS4 too.
I'm wondering whether that's experience or 60fps made it easier... I felt like the enemies attacked less on PS4.
Yeah I would also say it seemed like they hardly attacked.
Anywho, pre-Demyx now and I realize I don't have Dodge Roll or Quick Run yet... I should get those...

Blizzard makes Barbossa a non-issue.
Yesssss
in my Critical lv.1 no armor/no accessories, Kingdom Key only run, I beat Demyx in just five tries, and got through the gauntlet in a single attempt. This was my second-most dreaded moment, and considering it took me hours on PS3, I'm pretty satisfied.
Now I'm not overly worrying about anything until the end-game!

Pick shield.
-Healing Items are essential. Cure is a last resort. You need to manage your MP effectively. Basically unlike 1FM and 2 on Proud where I'm willing to have Cure on a Shortcut, never bother here. Start with Potions, and then ultimately move up to Hi-Potions.
-Absolutely get acquainted with using Magic and Summons if you haven't in the past. The Summons in 2FM are quite good. They also help greatly with some enemies that are a pain at any level (IE: The friggin Hotrod Heartless)
-Limits are incredibly useful if you hadn't used them in a previous playthrough. It's actually worth using world-based party members. Also thanks to being able to swap party members on the go, you'll never lock yourself out of Drives either.
-Drives are an excellent way to save your ass due to restoring HP/MP. Once you get Limit Form this also becomes easier since you don't need to rely on Donald and/or Goofy to be alive.
-Guard and Reflect are your best friends! Even on a regular Critical playthrough, with HP eventually capping at 60, enemies will still hurt and some moves will still be able to kill your pretty damn quickly if you don't have Second Chance and Once More.
-Use your Reaction Commands! I feel this goes without saying for the game in general, but... It's still pretty important.
That's off the top of my head for a leveling Critical run.

Yes. Since you can synthesize more later, the ones you get from chests are most useful on him.
Ok thanks!
I feel like KH2 is at the absolute peak of the PS2 library just purely on a technical level.
This game is just ridiculous...This cannot be a 2005 game..For many reasons.
SE put so,so much into this game.
EDIT : We'll see how FF12 fares ,but so far KH2 feels like a late PS3 game to me.

I feel the artstyle of KH2 really aged well and benefits from HD remaster. And all the beautiful effects during combat makes the game looks great even playing it now.
The amount of effort put into each world's assets ,and the animations for weird non humanoid characters are SO well done!!!
The cutscenes in here are a joy to look at.
Dragon Malifecent can go suck a big fat scaley Dragon dick.
Absolutely stupid boss. Throws out green fire that you have to run away from, while ground pounding the stage for 5 minutes. You can't stay on the floor because of the groundpounds but then you get knocked out of the air by the fire.
Donald and Goofy are fucking useless and die constantly because they can't dodge, she keeps filling half the room with flames every 2 seconds which you can't see how to avoid because the camera decides to fuck you over.
And on top of all that she she has stupid high health!
Fuck this boss. Not fun at all.

Remember to summon Tinkerbell (and/or Dumbo which is easy damage while you are invincible).
Also that fight can be cheesed with Stop+Gravity spells if you got the MP items for it.

For now we have no clue if the crashing will be fixed.
Most of the issues were fixed on release day.
Save Crashing I don't think was reported fixed... Fortunately I've yet to encounter it, but yeah, it likely won't be.
I beat her on Proud by casting Aerora, standing below her head, and just swinging away. :/
Thanks! I'll be starting this soon as soon as I beat Riku's side of Chain of Memories!

Vexen gave me a run for my money in CoM, till I stacked a deck for Ars Arcanum spam + Jafar Card.

forgot how big shadows are in KH1. lol.
A lot of the bosses after the Disney worlds can be beaten with a deck full of Sonic Blades and Ethers if you really want to be cheap. The only exceptions are Marluxia.

And/or? Maybe my memory's wrong, but can't you only use Summon once per battle?
Napalm_Frank

You can use every summon once per encounter.

Ah, right.
Make sure you save regularly too. I had a crash earlier when fighting the ice and fire heartless bosses at the end of Agrabah.
That's the very first issue I've had with any of these ports though.

Yeah Sonic Blade has been working well for me too. I find this game to be a lot of fun, just very grindy. I'm obsessed with increasing my CP.

What's the matter :3
Not enjoying RECOM at all atm, knew I wouldn't as it's my least favourite KH. Just really want it out of the way (But I also want to plat it), So trying a 100% proud playthrough without continuing, but just struggling through it.
Struggling against parasite cage in monstro now.
Any tips people have?
Currently level 16. Been getting sleights whenever I can and going more for CP over HP now. Have sliding dashes, blizzard raids and afire raid set up, and 2 hi potions.
