Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 ReMIX - Looking Simpler and Cleaner Than Ever

[Akai Hana]

It's been all but officially confirmed.

Really?? Wow cant wait.. Some ppl say kh2 is the best kh games ever.. Is it true?

 

[Tetsujin]

It's certainly my favorite.
BBS is a close second.

It's gonna be especially awesome with the numerous Final Mix additions imo.

Anyway...still leveling up on Destiny Islands.

I'm fighting Tidus since you can just block his attacks over and over and get tech points for it and keep the battle going endlessly.
I learned Tech Boost now, so now it's twice the EXP per counterattack.

Also, Slapshot and Stun Impact learned! Wooo, Final Mix abilities!

 

[Strangelove]

I would say gameplay-wise KH2 was the best, and FM's additions helped make it better (more exploration stuff and collecting things yay).

I want 2.5 soon now

Have they fixed the lip sync on the English one? I can't see why that would be a problem, since I'm guessing they used the FM code as a base and that was originally all in English anyway.

 

[Tetsujin]

I don't think it's been off so far but I'm only up to Traverse Town (at level 20 )

 

[Akai Hana]

If they are making KH2.5, I had to buy a new games.. but I never touched PS2KH2 disks, the games is still well wrapped..........

SPOILER!!! Hide it in spoiler tag.... You ruined my eyes... lol

It's certainly my favorite.

You guys making me wanting to repair my PS2 or buy a new console... I've been saving my money for PS4, I cba to buy a new ps2.....

 

[Strangelove]

I would wait for 2.5, since it'll likely be the FM versions of both KH2 and BBS.

 

[Akai Hana]

You're right.. Maybe I should.. and maybe I should sell the PS2KH2 disk as well for some moh-ney.. Do you know when 2.5 will be out in Asia?

 

[Tetsujin]

No official announcement has been made yet. We might get some news next week when Toyko Game Show starts. That's what most people are hoping for, at least...

 

[Ami]

Anyone aiming for the Speedster trophy? I am, as I've accumulated just under two hours so far and I've finished Wonderland.

 

[Tetsujin]

I plan to get Speedster on my 2nd playthrough. x)

Keep us updated about your progress. Skipping any worlds?

 

[Strangelove]

I think if I were to go for that one I would have to start another easy game. Which worlds can you skip?

 

[Tetsujin]

I think you can skip the Coliseum, as well as Atlantica/Monstro/Halloween Town (only one of the three) but don't quote me on that.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I know for sure the Coliseum is entirely optional.

 

[Strangelove]

You don't even have to visit it once? I never knew that (but I usually try to do everything so yeah).

Now it's just a choice between Atlantica (because swimming) or Monstro (because of the awkwardness of navigating it). Probably Atlantica.

 

[Ami]

I'm sure you can skip Atlantis and Halloween Town, too. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

 

[Alex Strife]

You guys are cheating!! Cheating, I tell you!! I levelled up some, but still tried to "keep it real". So no insane number of Riku races, no insane levelling up... I mean, I'm playing on Proud mode, so I should make it challenging!

I am finding it kind of challenging, to be honest. Up to Wonderland now. I'll do it tomorrow. I feel I'm being really slow, though. Maybe because I level up more than I would have used to. Kind of. Level 11 right now.


It looks (and sounds!) gorgeous!! Seriously, I am delighted with this buy. And it was "cheap", too. Good, good. Alex is satisfied.

 

[Tennyo]

I really want to get this, and yet, I know that if I do, I won't have my PS3 back for months because on of my roommates loves KH. As of right now, she does her gaming in the basement on the PS2.

 

[Carlie]

Ami please you're aiming for every trophy in the game, it is known.

I'm sure you can skip Atlantis and Halloween Town, too. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

Who the hell would commit the travesty of skipping Halloween Town? That's one of the best worlds in the game.

 

[Alex Strife]

By the way, I didn't mention it before but I decided to go for wand (and discarded shield, resulting in an extremely lousy defense), in the end, since you can hit maximum points in attack and defense with the power up items, but you can't do the same with Magic, I think... so yeah.

I can also confirm I am going much more slowly than on a normal playthrough. Using so much time to level up and grind and whatnot. Also... is it normal that I earn THAT much money? I am seriously surprised, as I'm around 4000 now, without having farmed for items or anything; and that's after buying the available two wands and two shields for Donald and Goofy. And several accessories, too.

Yeah, staff gets you more magic points than you could obtain with shield or sword. MP also directly affects your magic strength, so that's another plus.

I chose the shield for early Second Chance and Leaf Bracer, however it means I'm getting MP Rage at lvl 90 or something. =/

I can't remember how much munny you earned in vanilla KH, but I heard that you're gonna need it in Final Mix for synthesis, since Orihalcum is no longer dropped by enemies but has to be bought for 5000 munny a piece if I recall correctly.

Eh, I like being able to overpower my enemies.

I just want to overcome the initial difficulty when you start the game and can't dodge, block or use cure spells.
I always thought that it was weird that guard and dodge roll are abilities that you have to earn and equip for AP. I mean, that stuff should be part of your basic abilities in an action game.

Also, I'm now done with Agrabah and I feel the difficulty is starting to catch up with me slowly. I did choose the option to level up more slowly until around lvl 45 ~ 50 though, of course.

Combo Master is also something I'm looking forward to. Not being able to continue a combo when the first hit misses always bothered me in every KH. Especially with speedy airborne enemies that like to dodge out of your way this can be a source of frustration.

I'm just not sure when you get it since it's an HD exclusive addition to KH1 and it's not that well documented yet, but I've heard it's around lvl 50.

Anyway, I like seeing the changes to Final Mix. Gummi ship missions are a neat little addition and it seems there are way more enemy ships now, too...

Also, camera control with the right stick was sorely needed. Camera still is terrible in combat, however.

 

[Pixel]

Im actually kinda struggling on hard mode lol Gonna have to find somewhere to grind

 

[Dashell]

Can someone who has this please tell me how "Demyx" is pronounced? I haven't found any videos online yet and someone on Tumblr was freaking out about "saying it wrong" this whole time... so I'm curious.. .is it something weird like "Dimes" or something? I've been saying Dem-icks, is that right?

 

[Alex Strife]

I have no idea but it's how I say it, if that helps (which means it's probably wrong ). But I've found that some names pronounce the X on some characters as "sh" instead of "icks", which surprised me somewhat.

 

[Strangelove]

I went with 'deh-mix', though that's based on the Japanese name and the English ones don't always match.

Uh, isn't it spoken aloud in KHII? I could have sworn it was. I'm pretty sure they say "deh-mix".
