Isn't it only available from the Square Enix NA store online? That's where I got it from.

Birth By Sleep Critical is pretty badly balanced tho. I wouldn't recommend it really unless you want the trophies. Proud is more fun.
Critical mode in BBS for me just boils down to using few overpowered commands and shotlocks because anything else takes five hours to kill some enemies unless you grind levels.
Of course I'll play on Critical cause I need that plat...

This is disappointing to hear
. I might stick with Proud then, anyway, at least for the first playthrough. I played BbS on Normal last time because I wanted to speed through it; my PSP was on its last legs and of course the PSPgo couldn't play BbSGetDigitized

In Europe it's available from numerous retailers. 5 Different ones in the UK alone.

Aerith's voice in KH2 sounded like dried seaweed mixed with sandpaper. I could not tolerate her speaking, and she stuck out like a sore thumb. Why could they not get the KH1 voice actor back i'll never figure out, she was actually pretty good. And the crisis core and advent children aerith was even better.
I doubt i'm getting my CE today. Went through local 2 post offices within 2 days.
Man, KH's plot is pretty convoluted.
What are you having trouble with in the Station of Awakening? The regular enemies or the boss? The regular enemies can be stun locked by repeating XX/\ until they die.
As with all Kingdom Hearts games, the beginning is the hardest due to your lack of abilities. Once you beat Twilight Town and the next world it should start to even out.

I'm not a fan of the new-voiced cutscenes -- you can tell, say,
Quintin Flynn
It's jarring. Like, "Haley Joel Osment in Dream Drop Distance" jarring.

Mine looks similar, I hope I get today or Im a just try pick it up at the post office.
Edit: Just recieved mine, item was just in a box with no padding so it got creeses on the edges and side of box. Shit sucks.

This was easily the hardest thing about watching the remade Days cutscenes.

Got it like an hour ago. Dat soundtrack. Didn't know they remastered it too, sounds different. Also, did they revoice stuff? Maybe its just been awhile since I played, sounds different. Some textures look redrawn too, to me. The box is uber thick, what were they thinking? Probably leave the pin in the box.
It's amazing. The 13th Struggle and the world map theme are some real standouts so far (I've just finished HB).

Man I still kinda want this to be ported to PS4, but at 30 I also reaaaaally want to pick it up as soon as possible, and a port was never even rumored so it's probably nonsense to wait :/

I love it! Very well done, almost every track has been improved (holy crap at the Land of Dragons.)
I don't remember it being really noticeable in Days, but it's been a year since I watched it and I'm pretty sure I watched it while doing homework or something similar.
It just really annoys me in KH2 I think because it can literally be the very next scene, you'll see the same character and he sounds dramatically different. I know it can't be helped, but it does draw me out of the experience, I guess.

Is it from the Squeenix store via that weirda patapata or whatever fullfiller? I received my delivery completely without getting tracking. So it's not unusual, but still not reassuring.

I got anxiety just from seeing the pic. Those things are the bane of fun in BBS.

I watched Re:COM and Days in theater mode back-to-back over the last couple days. It's really jarring how much less animated his Axel performance is in the added scenes in Days. Granted, I'll chalk a lot of that up to really awkward lip-sync pacing, but the vocal variation is still really dialed down in a way that I didn't notice even in recent games like 3D. (I also didn't notice it nearly as much with any other character, including Roxas who has way more speaking lines than anyone else.)
For a character whose popularity rests so much on his charisma, it's a little disheartening.

Did KH2 give options on camera inverted or normal camera control?
I remember FF12 not, but I can't remember if KH2 was in the same backwards Squeenix-boat.

Camera inversion (both horizontal and vertical) are in options of virtually every KH game. I don't understand why the horizontal default is the way it is. HEY WHEN I PRESS RIGHT I EXPECT THE CAMERA TO PAN RIGHT

Starting now on Critical.
Anybody got an ability list with where you learn certain abilities by choosing Shield/Staff/Sword etc?
Also anybody take either of these avy's?

I just can't get the boss. And the structure is so formulaic that repeating it over and over is grating. -_-
So bummed! I assumed that the difficulty was tweaked for normal with the Final Mix release since so many people complained. Silly think to assume, I guess.
Easiest way is to spam Reaction Commands, get 1-2 attacks in on Twilight Thorn, and keep spamming (and use potions or defeat the Creepers to heal).
They may be called Reaction Commands, but the name is really a farce, because you can spam triangle throughout the game when they come up, and they're guaranteed to work.

She was voiced by Mandy Moore in KH1, so money
Also AC Aerith is the same as KH2 Aerith
When the battle starts mash triangle to get through the reaction command stuff.
Afterwards when he's laying on the ground jump and do an X string in the air, jump again, and repeat.
When he gets up he will move backwards out of the stage and move forward on the ground moving his arms around. You can jump over the arms, go all the way back to the end of the stage, or the left and right corners to avoid the attack.
When the attack finishes his head will be on the ground, he will summon nobodies and shoot black and white string confetti at you. You can mash triangle and square at the same time to avoid most of the confetti, you can just run away from the nobodies he summoned and mash triangle, and you can kill the nobodies he summoned for extra health.
After he runs out of confetti he will stand up and shoot more out at you while moving around the field. You can move back some and press triangle to fly up and hopefully get some shots in his face, but if you are low on health I suggest finding one of the nobodies he sends out to get some extra HP.
He will more than likely repeat the triangle QTE again if you don't kill him after this point. You deal a fair amount of damage during and after the QTE so you could easily kill him while doing it a second time. There's a chance that he might go in the middle of the stage and charge up an attack while shooting confetti at you. For that I suggest running along the edges of the field while pressing triangle every now and then to avoid attacks so the charge attack doesn't kill you.
Part 3 of the boss guide is almost done. Should cover Sephiroth and Orgy members 13 through 8.
Well, there is that one exception with Xemnas, though there's no real penalty for failing it.
Demyx isn't that much worse than he is normally. It's his Data Replica that's a pain in the ass.

Mostly the same, though you'll have to get at least one of each synth item in the game to get it to show up in the synth shop, which means you'll have to go after some of the new synth materials. It's nowhere near as bad as the additional synth stuff in KH1FM, though. Beating one of the optional Chain of Memories Org. XIII members, completing at least one Mushroon XIII challenge, and a quick trip to Cavern of Remembrance to loot some treasure chests should get you those additional synth materials.
So I'm playing through the Roxas section right now and for some reason, it's not bothering me as much as it did on PS2. I remember trying to do another play through of KH2 vanilla a few years ago and I ended up quitting halfway into the Roxas stuff. I'm actually enjoying this time. The game looks amazing in 1080p.
