Fuck anti-form when it comes at a critical time during a fight when I need to use a drive form.

About the only mechanic I really hate in the game..Its cheap and unfair to die like this.

Is there a way I can reduce the possibility of transforming into Dark Sora ?

Last parts of the guide are almost done. Ironing out the last details on the Lingering Will tomorrow and then I'll post them all at once.

Transform into Final Form to reduce the anti-meter to zero. Unfortunately if you don't have it you're pretty much shafted.

100% method is to not change form while in battle. Do it when there's no enemies around and you'll never get Anti-form. As for reducing the chance: know that every time you change you increase the chance to get Anti, especially in boss battles and doubly especially if you're fighting an Org member.

The Anti counter resets whenever you gain a new Drive Form, and can be lowered manually once you've unlocked and use Final Form. Other than that there's not much else you can do.

hmm so I am better off attempting these hard fights with Final Form.

So the chances of getting anti-form are zero when attempting final form ?

I YOLO'd Critical without Final Form because I wanted to get the story over and done with quickly. Anti Form came up during my bout with Xigbar and actually helped me murder him far quicker cos the air time on its aerial attacks would keep me on Xigbar at all times but above the angle he fires at. Essentially free hits. Once that fight was over I had a new found respect for that form. :lol

oh my god I finally beat Critical Data Roxas after 4 straight hours of attempts.

I'm still shaking. Have never run so fast to a save point in game before.

Still have 10 more fights to go, I reallllllllllllllllllllllllly hope Roxas was my personal wall and no one else takes that long.

that puzzling face
I fully understand the joke, but it's a totally applicable scenario. But Roxas is more applicable.

The joke isn't that Namine looks different from Kairi. The joke is that Namine is used to explain everything because she's a witch.

e.g. why Donald and Goofy conveniently don't remember Mysterious Tower despite being there in BBS.

Retcons, retcons everywhere.

I think if they said right from the start that Namine was Kairi's nobody and cut the witch bulltshit it would have been way better. Like, she is Kairi's nobody and can alter memories because she was created in a different way than the rest, that's it. Stop with the "misterious powers", "witch", "special" nonsense.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Ok, so I'm really glad I took people's advice and chose Aqua last. It seems like in every single world she gets the tail end of the story, and also happens to, more often than not, be in charge of cleaning up whatever mess Terra/Ven might have started. Ven/Terra can go either way, but Aqua's game seems to count on you playing it after the other two.

Just finished the actual dungeon part of the Cavern of Remembrance. That final Nobody fight at the end was relentless!

Got all the puzzle pieces too. Though I'm a little concerned that in my Treasure Chest section, I've filled all the spaces, but the little Mickey symbol hasn't appeared to show completion. What am I missing?

A chest shows up once you beat all 13 data battles.

Since I played Terra, Ven, Aqua on the PSP I decided to go with Ven, Aqua, and Terra this time. I'm really enjoying it. It folds well since in most scenarios Ven and Aqua are always hearing about "Terra did this bad thing" in every world. He holds the mystery and I feel like playing him first ruins a lot of the surprise (mainly Master Xehanort's main plan, who is the catalyst to everything)

honestly I personally don't care, Cloud and Sephiroth storyline and dialogues are garbage as usual. in comparison the actual FFVII is a writing masterpiece.

Zack's "I wanna be a hero" is at least more bearable.

I don't think so, or at least I've never had it happen to me when going into Final. Could just be luck on my part though.

ok.Thanks.

Not really.

Sephi and Cloud's little chat in KH2 reflects their FFVII story while fitting nicely into the KH lore.

Welp, BBS sucks so far.

Died five times in Terra's first Unversed battle. Game controls horribly and teaches you jackshit to begin with.

Just started playing this today.

I have to say I really appreciate the redone artwork just like I did in 1.5, and I'm glad to see that Roxas' white and black rings/wraps/whatevertheyare are actually no longer blurry spots on his fingers.

I actually never finished Kingdom Hearts 2 on the PS2 before it broke, so I'm pretty excited about playing through this now.

uh, not even close. it's just some bullshit about darkness, light and maybe it's a bit homo-esque too. as usual.

Well it works as symbolism to FFVII, is what I meant.

I think it makes sense that if Cloud and Sephi were in KH-verse,Sephi would act as Darker counter to the more light based Cloud.

Also,homo-esque ? What ?

Cloud and Sephiroth are hilarious in KH. The dinky little subplot is ultimate cringe.

I do enjoy fighting Sephiroth though cos of the battle music. Gets me hyped.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

why ?

The fights were all fun and well done.Don't see how another fight in 3 could hurt if its well done.

Because there are lots of characters that could be used instead and I'm super sick of Sephiroth.
Also not a fan of bosses we beat again again and again. That said out of morbid curiosity I4d like to see how they would make his design even more stupid.

And a Disney super boss would be nice for a change.

I'd like to fight Sephiroth again in KH3 but keep it strictly in the arena. No shitty interaction with Cloud or anyone. Just Sephiroth vs Sora, job done. Maybe introduce his forms from FFVII to shake it up a bit? As the battle progresses, etc.

I'd like them to bump up Cloud to Sephiroth tier at least too for the arena. Advent Children status Cloud I guess, complete with his new OmniSlash as his ultimate, weapon switching, etc. He's a fucking joke in KH1 and 2 so making him actually worthwhile if we have to fight him is something they should consider.

Though they'll probably stick Noctis in KH3 and he'd fulfil the flashy multi phantom sword shit.

Boss or regular enemies? I don;t see how anyone could struggle with the regular enemies after playing through KH2FM on critical.

If it is the boss level up the Aqua D-Link and laugh as you kill it in under a minute.

they basically picked their FFVII ''rivalry'' and put the characters into the KH universe, yes. which I'm not a fan of.

do I need all the drive forms maxed out in order to reach the end of the Cavern of Remembrance? Please tell me that there is another way.

You are pathetic.

Don't blame the game for you yourself sucking. Terra is a bit heavier to control than your usual KH protagonist and that just takes some time to adjust to.

No. So long as you have the level 2 abilities you'll be able to get through. You will need to drive at a few points and use the level 3 ability though, so bring a few drive recoveries with you.

i would also recommend taking a lap through the command board and try to get Ragnarok. with that shotlock, everything is your bitch
 
KH1 Cloud+Sephy were awesome. KH2 Cloud+Sephy were lame (well, the boss battle is cool but I'd rather have had some other cameo boss in KH2. And I know the JPN KH1 didn't originally have him ect.).

I really hope they have something like Gilgamesh or Kefka or anything other than Sephy really in KH3.

Found my first wall in critical mode.
Master Eraques made Terra his btch
. Doesn't help that I don't have once more or second change unlocked yet. Two hits and I'm done. The move with the circling swords around him is a certain kill. Almost had him with 10 procent left before I was locked in a combo and got stuck in the swords.
 
I finally got the Golden Crown in Critical Mode, it feels amazing to be done with all of that crap.

So now I'm going to do the Synthesis trophy, is there a guide to tell me where I should grind specific materials? I wanted to fill the list first; I'd appreciate any tips that would save me time.

I wasn't going to go for the Plat, but I have like 80% of the trophies so I might just as well do it. I'm leaving the MIssion/Minigame one for last.
