K, I'm level 17 is that to low for him? Course my deck is probably lame, keep in mind I never played it on PSP and I'm playing on Proud.

It's pretty bad oversight but indeed it can be countered by just using a limit.

I beat him on critical and I didn't play the original either. You can block most of his shots which reflect stuff back at him - not just the ones where he's high up. I died a couple of times before figuring this out.
Edit- Also, since its a new page:

Oh, I didn't know you could reflect his attacks back at him, cool. Will try that. Even when he is searching for you in his cross hairs?

Plus dat plat.
Also top tier weapons for Donald+Goofy and tranquil materials needed for the best accessories.
I already got Save the king/queen tho

There's basically no way I'm going to do the BBS optional bosses on Critical, so is it smarter to:
-beat the game on Critical first, then restart on Proud to do all optional content
or
-beat the game and all optional content on Proud first, then do Critical with the assorted trophy bonuses I got from that
Arguably Goofy's best mushroom weapon isn't his very best in the game (protega's not that necessary even on critical), but Donald's absolutely is, yeah. I kinda like the Nobody Guard for Goofy tbh.

Combat level bug: In BBS, after you beat one character's campaign you can reload your save to continue playing and take on some of the meta challenges. Normally, upon reload Combat Levels for every world goes up, giving you stronger Unversed to fight with higher EXP given... which is good for leveling. The bug, however, will sometimes cause world combat levels to remain as they were prior to beating the game, which of course makes leveling your character much more tedious. BBS FM never addressed this.
My Aqua on my original PSP playthrough of the NA BBS was affected by this. It's usually Aqua that gets nerfed, apparently.
A solution was found:
Hopefully this can be applied to ReMix BBSFM. Also, I notice it doesn't address Aqua. Seems her game will be bugged regardless of what you do, but you can at least keep the others from being affected. It's actually her Final Episode that gets the increased Combat Levels, but on that file you can't fight Mysterious Figure so it's a moot point.

Yup, although you can dodge around that part, reflecting it twice ends it quickly. He's kinda fun once you find out you can hurt him with his own weapon.

Ah that suuuckssss.Thanks for the fix and a proper explanation - I googled and all I could find were people complaining about it. I'm guessing there's no way to prevent it at all ?
EDIT- Whoops double post.
Collectors edition is back in stock at GAME UK:

Does the combat level bug always happen to everyone?
I've just come out of a ban, and I'm so glad that my first post back is thanking you for bringing this to my attention. Man...thank you so so so much. I don't know what Game is like on being reliable for actually having stock like this - are you familiar? Either way, I've ordered it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Haha , np - with collectors editions like these they're fine... With normal games - they're normally store shelf stock. So you're all good in this case. Haven't had a cancellation from them before.

Yeah, game requires you to keep 5 save files total."Be sure to keep this data".,... Just beat Terra story...I guess I won't overwrite with Aqua's story
I am not complaining though since I have not 100% said files.
Yeah, the achievements are not as brutal as KH.
It is mostly just one playthrough for 100% and one playthrough for critical per game. Although if you are a masochist, you could try both in one file.
Probably safer to do Proud first and all optional content, in case you need to grind levels. That way there's less chance of the combat level bug affecting your optional content saves.

If it's that yellow thing, He's being a dick with me for terra as well.
EDIT - YES!YOU BETTER CRY.
It was that squid-like thing.
Just after venting here I defeated it on the first try and I don't understand why because I was doing the exact same thing all the time.

How are the load times of BBSFM on here? I know the ones in KH2FM are pretty bad sometimes, but does that apply to BBS, too? I think I heard the saving on BBS was slow, but how about going from area to area?
The saving is painfully slow, but I do think the load times between zones are shorter than in KH2.
Probably owing to the fact that BBS' zones are completely barren.
Ven's story is halfway done. Still haven't gotten Mega Flare or any of the other big guns yet, though.
It has more to do with the fact that BBS's zones are generally smaller and use simpler geometry.
KH2 is similarly populated to BBS aside from a select few areas.

Ah okay, that's good to hear. Sucks about the saving, though.
That can at least be worked around by playing long sessions.
There are noticeable load times with D-Links and command styles though, thankfully like the drive forms in 2 it only happens once a world or so.

Seems faster, but the game is not as smooth as KH2FM, I'll just say that. Tons of stuttering in various places. No tearing though.
SoraanTribal
Member
Yeah, true although I'm kind of a save-a-holic in RPGs, lol.
I never did really use D-Links that much when I played it on the PSP, so that's not a big deal to me (although I was thinking about actually giving them a try this time). Are Command Styles loading as long as the drive forms are in KH2FM? I watched some streams and they didn't see too bad (pretty quick actually).
Aww... Maybe if there's a PS4 version, they will make both 60fps without stuttering.

Could be my PS3 dying though. Someone else in this thread had the issues I did, it started at the land of departure. Playing 720p like I said helps somewhat, but still does it in some places.
Or could be its a PSP game running on a PS3. I'm sure making a PS2 game run on PS3 was much easier, since they pretty much already have an emulator running on it from PS2 classics.
I always make sure to save twice whenever I save, so I just make double-sure that I saved as opposed to saving often. More time-efficient in the long run.
Command styles take a bit less time than drive forms. D-Links are about the same as DFs though.
D-Links are pretty meh.
The only ones I found especially useful were Aqua's and Mickey's. Aqua's is good for the early game when cure isn't available, and Mickey's level 2 D-Link is good for the EXP bonus. Other than those you'll usually have a set of commands equipped that are better suited to your needs than the D-Links are.
D-links, much like Drive Forms for the majority of KH2's boss fights, are not necessary. At least, not if you do lots of command melding and whatnot. I level all of them just for kicks, but otherwise don't use them (and on proud for both Terra and Ven I've yet to need to activate one even for the HP recovery). That said, Mickey does give 2x EXP for Ven so you can use that to grind faster.

Haaaalp!
I'm missing two cutscenes in the Theatre after finishing 2FM on Proud mode.
I know one of them is the Sephiroth cutscene (and Fuck No, I am NOT going to do seph on proud mode when it took me 6 tries to do Xemnas), but what's the other one? is that the full Birth By Sleep Movie? I R Confused. How doth I unlock it?

The other one indeed should be the ''new'' secret ending. I think in Proud you need to have 100% journal completion so have fun.
Oh but then I hope they have a lvl 1 critical trophy since it's only one game!
if only to watch you suffer /smaug
You have to complete the Journal on Proud, so you'd have to fight Sephiroth and the rest of the optional bosses anyway.

The funny thing is that the original game just had you beat Proud mode. They added all the extra requirements because Japan.YOU ARE SHITTING ME.

BBS isn't nearly as terrible with Secret Episode requirements. All reports can be got via story except one, which is really easy to get. If playing Proud, they only require all stickers which I get 100% treasure anyways.
Getting locked out of
Land of Departure because Mysterious Figure is there
edit: If you don't want to click the spoiler, nothing is permanently missable.
Don't forget the minigames!
It's a rock-and-a-hard-place situation, because you either have to jump through an assload more hoops (Proud) or make the hoops have to jump through even harder in exchange for there being fewer of them. (Critical)
Granted, I'd personally prefer doing a few very hard things to a ton of very annoying ones.
