From what I've seen (I haven't played it) of this one the combat is slightly enhanced and the command window gets themed backgrounds. That's enough to elevate my score from the original from a 3.0 to a 3.7. It still looks terrible.

The "plot" and little missions are painful, they're so full of holes and nonsense. The levels are boring looking for the most part, which is a feat since it's based off Disney stuff. The best part about the whole game, 2.5 of the 3.0 points, is the facial animation and general animation they pulled off on the main characters. They're pretty incredible. Such shit though, seriously. I'm so glad I stopped trying to play this series.

As for that form...it's a random percent chance to turn into it that's increased every time you change form, and resets after it triggers.

"i haven't played this game but it's shit, lol"

Seriously, what was the point of that?

I didn't really like the first KH either, but I'm playing this one at the moment and it's much better. In part because Square fixed a couple of the big problems that were present in the original (removing the poorly executed platforming elemnts entirely, spicing up the Gummi Ship levels), and also because the combat is a lot more entertaining this time around. I just fought the Ifrit-looking boss on the Beauty and the Beast stage, and it seriously blew my mind the first time I pulled off a full reaction command attack on him. Sora vaults off of his head onto a chandelier, drops it, and swings it around the room, catching the boss and sending him flying. Awesome shit.

My only complaint thus far is that it still has Disney stuff in it. :s

Anyway, you should try it out, you might actually like this one.

Hey guys! Does anyone know where can I find some Hi-resolution pictures of Axel from Organization XIII? I have liked this guy's style since I first saw him. And when I actually got to find out about his character, I liked him even more!! :) Trying so hard to be evil, but still so good inside... Even sacrificing himself for Sora's sake. That guy rocks! Please help me find some pictures of him!!!
Thanks...

maybe i have too many game to play, but for some reason im not feeling this game much. I loved KH1, and im sure KH2 is better in every way, but the story line is just driving me mad, the twists in the story are boring me, plus the constant non stop cut scense are putting me to sleep. this is not to say im going to stop playing it, but it better get back on track or else...

Sorry to say, but be prepared for about 30 hours of this, and it never really gets on track. I just "beat" Kingdom Hearts II last night, and I didn't really enjoy the game as much as the first. Sure, it has a better battle system and a much improved camera but the game itself just never goes anywhere. It just felt like I spent most of the game playing through boring, watered down plots of Disney movies for no apparent reason. Seriously, a good 20 hours of gameplay in this game has no relevance to the overall story arc whatsoever.

Then, when the game actually gets back to the main plotline...well....hell if I can tell you what the story of this game is. Its just a bunch of cut scenes where Sora asks "What the fuck is going on Mickey?" Then Mickey always responds with "Shut the fuck up bitch....all will be clear....in due time" I got so sick of getting the "run around" from Mickey and all the other characters, even the villains spoke in riddles the entire game, that by the time I beat the game I can't really tell you what the real storyline was.

Also, this game now receives the award for saying or implying "This is the final battle" the most times in one game. The top spot previously went to some other shitty JRPG, or maybe it was Tales of Symphonia. Either way, I felt like the "this may be the final battle" scenario was a bit of an overkill in Kingdom Hearts II.

Bottom Line; I give Kingdom Hearts 2 a 7/10, and I give the original game a 9/10.

thanks magnifiedplaid, im glad im not the only one feeling like that about KH2. I havent played thee game in 2 days, and i honestly dont have the urge to play it anymore. it's true the battle system is improved and the camera is much better, but just like you said, it's just running around in different disney world fighting enemies with and unknown direction. meh' i think i'll give this game a rest and focus on something else(currently playing PGR3 and shadow of the colossus). I'm in the mood for a quick fix, can't be bothered to put up with stats and crap in an RPG.

i might get back to KH2 later on, but for now i feel very dissapointed by the game.

HAY GUYS! WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?

I just picked this up today, after finishing CoM's Reverse/Rebirth last night. Man, people who didn't play the GBA game must be *so* lost for at least the first few hours of KH II.

I like Kairi. I must own a doll. This would be a nice poster. (ZOMG TEH HOTLINK)

the GBA version sucked and had a shity battle system. Plus KH2 is full of cut scenes, you play for 2 minutes, then you get a half an hour cut scene, it's rediculous. I simply quit on the game after playing(more like watching) for 8 hours.

Final Mix+ is looking better and better by the day. It's got everything I wanted in Final Mix (Sora vs. Roxas, fights against all 13 Organization members, several new areas, and an awesome computer wallpaper to go with it), and a bunch of stuff I never would have expected (Re:CoM, Thirteen new Mushroom Heartless, Limit Form, and just about everything else.)

This really, really, really needs to be brought over here.

Also, the official site is up. It's in Japanese, of course, but someone at GameFAQs actually posted a semi-intelligent guide through it.

Quote:

Link: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/kingdom2fm/

Upon entering the site, there will be an image of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix +, with the logos of KHII: FM and KH:Re:CoM. These two logos open the respective game's section.

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix
First button: This opens a small section with informations about KHII: FM+. If anyone can do the translation, please do.
Second button: This will open a new section with several buttons. Each one of these buttons will take you to images of the new features in the game. I will post the information in them from the top one to the bottom one: (Note: to return to this section after pressing one of these buttons, click on the button under the image's number)
- Several images from cutscenes with Roxas, Xemnas, Riku and the Organization XIII in it's meeting room.
- Images of the new Mushroom Heartless that resemble the Organization XIII.
- Images of the playable battle between Sora and Roxas.
- Images of Sora's new outfit for Halloween Town (the Dark Santa Claus Costume).
- Images of the new areas in the game.
- Images of Limit Form.
- Images of Marluxia and Lexaeus' battles.
(Note: All the images above are high-quality, not some crappish scans from magazines)
Third Button: This opens a new section with three buttons that take you to pages with informations. Translations needed.
Fourth Button: This opens a section with downloadable screensavers:
- A Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ wallpaper
- A Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix wallpaper
- A Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories wallpaper.
Fifth Button: This takes you to the official site of Kingdom Hearts II.

(Note: to return to the Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix+ screen, click on it's logo on the upper-right side of the site)

Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories
The following sections will describe the content of each card. Each card is a button that takes you to a new section with similar content of the KHII: FM section. From the top card:
First Card: Takes you to a similar section of the first button in the KHII: FM section, with informations in japanese. Again, translations needed.
Second Card: Takes you to a new section with three buttons. From the top one:
- Cutscenes within Castle Oblivion and Destiny Islands
- Gameplay images, including RIKU GAMEPLAY IN DARK MODE PICTURES. No Dark Aura, however...
- Images of the destructable scenery in Olympus Coliseum.
Third Card: Opens a new section with five buttons. From the top one:
- Images of Sora in Halloween Town.
- Images of sleights you can perform, including magic sleights.
- Effect cards in use, such as White Room, Guarded Trove and others.
- Images of Sora hitting the scenery to collect Moogle Points and cards.
- Images of the World Maps and the Level Up Screen.
Fourth Card: Similar to the third button in KHII: FM's section. Translations needed.
Fifth Card: Takes you to the official site of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

I hope this was useful to you.

There is a new secret enemy who is difficult to defeat even if you know how. He was built with the critics who said that Sephiroth was too easy in mind. On top of that, his demise is necessary for unlocking the new Secret Movie and the completion of Jimminy's Journal.

Oh fuck you, assholes.

Quote:

The recommended order of play is Re:COM (with the Sora then Riku story arcs) then KHII:FM. Not only does this make the most sense story-wise, Nomura mentions a bonus you get to carry over from Re:CoM to KHII:FM. The ending of Re:COM has been added on to on the basis that both the CoM and KHII stories are being sold together (so presumably there is less need for a deeply mysterious scene but rather one that answers some questions).

Anyway, been playing FM+ (and since everything except the voices are in Japanese, thank the gods for kana) and I'm currently up to Steamboat Willie, although so far there haven't been too many changes. I've seen a couple new cutscenes, and there's a collect-a-thon crown game which gives you pieces to pictures similar to sliding block puzzles. It seems like an odd thing to add but at least you get bonus items for completing them.

Re:COM plays exactly like the GBA version, but since that we're dealing with lots of tiny rooms the spastic camera makes finding my way through them tougher than it should be. I was hoping for it to be closer to the regular games instead of still being all that card crap.

If you'd been paying attention to KH2 you'd know it's impossible for him to have a heartless and/or nobody, and since IT'S NOT HIM it's certainly not his future self.

He doesn't have a heart since Sora has it, therefore he can't succumb to the darkness within it and become a heartless. Since he can't become a heartless he can't leave behind a shell which is how nobodies are created.

i know the story, but theres no denying that that LOOKS exactly like him. If he were cloaked the whole time like the deep dive videos there would be some point of denial. Thats roxas, or some kind of alternate form that KH3 will introduce (remember 2 introduced the nobodies, whos to stop them from introing something else.
05 Apr 2007, 04:44 PM

Only really somewhat looks like him.

And I'd put more money on it being a child or descendant of Sora.

And I'm not saying it's not possible, but there are a million reasons why it doesn't make it necessarily Roxas.

he could also be modeling himself after Roxas, there are a million things and it doesn't have to be Roxas, or have any relation to the actual Roxas himself.

The newly added Org XIII fights are both a tease and disappointing. They're a tease because they're like ten thousand times more awesome then they were in COM and it makes me wish that much more that COM had been completely remade instead of just ported to 3D. They have new patterns, attacks, abilities, and reaction commands, my favorite so far being the guy that summons Anti-Soras to fight you.

They're disappointing because they're way too easy, especially for being optional. Of the three I've fought I ended up power-levelling through them (except the one that just died straight-away), and I wasn't even up to 50 yet when I did that. I had been expecting something more akin to Sephiroth, but I guess it's not that big a deal and there's always the ES knight. At least it's more good bosses which is never a bad thing, and they just might require more skill than brute force (not likely) if I decide to go through the toughest difficulty later on. I'm waiting on the American release for that.

Played around a little with the new drive, Limit Form, and so far it's given me no reason to care. I haven't figured out yet if it adds any skills like the other ones do and it levels like the summons. Seems slower and not as tough as Brave, Master, or Final, nor as nimble as any of them, so it just seems kinda... there. It's nice in that you don't need other guys to activate it, in any case.

Also, one of the new Keyblades is a penis, second picture is Goofy sucking on it.

Have you been able to attempt that guy in gold armor, who's supposedly nearly impossible?

That's the ES knight. You can't fight him until you've beaten the game and loaded the clear file, and I'm currently up to the last level I have left before everything pre-TWTNW is done. It'll probably be a while before I get to him as I'd like to clear out as much of the little stuff that I can first.

I saw the cutscene where what I believe is him is introduced: A member of Org XIII enters a room empty except for a chair and chains, and sits in the chair charging up the chains. This appears to be a direct link to the empty, banged-up, dirty suit of armor on the ground - a suit of armor just like the ones from the secret movie. It may or not be his but it looks like the one from the movie and not the one he's currently wearing, and also considering its condition is starting to put me in the camp of that movie taking place in the past. I'll check out the translated conversations later on, still haven't gotten to that.

If you want a decent look at his current state, here.

So yeah, completed everything except the Mushrooms, ES, and new pumped up XIII. Fighting ES was hilarious, I died three times before I was finally able to hit him and it took another two before I began to catch on to his pattern and figure out when he was vunerable. Still need to go back and really start learning, especially now that I've bothered to watch some videos and see for sure what I need to do. Speaking of which, here's a video of ES in critical mode, with the guy using no limits and no drives and taking no damage:

Same guy also has videos somewhere of the same thing with the rememberance XIII battles. Which reminds me, I spoke too soon about the difficulty. There's a new room I came across which has every Org XIII battle from the game (old and new), only now they all have like fifteen lifebars and can kill you in about three hits. It's fantastic! Fucking around with all that shit makes this one of the best action games in a long time; it's all hard but completely fair and has the controls to make it work. Good thing too, because Sephiroth's way too easy for him to be the ultimate fight in the game.

It does kind of suck that they nerfed a number of the abusable spawns, so levelling up has to be done the old-fashioned way. No more spamming Pride Rock, no more respawns from a room away, all that is gone or tweaked. Currently up to about level 80 and I'll have to do item grinding if I want to match the stats of the guy above, as his strength and magic were at 81 and 80 respectively. I also still haven't gotten Ultima, since I'm pretty sure the last two or three items I need to complete the list for the final Orichalcum+ are dropped from Mushrooms and I suck at those guys.

I finally got around to finishing KH2.

I was pretty dissappointed with it after absolutely loving the first game.

I'm happy it was only 10 bucks.

Are we ever getting the Remix+ over here?

I was way late to the party and played through Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, and # II a few months ago back to back to back.

Kingdom Hearts: I liked it. I wanted to punch Riku in the face the entire game. Fuck you Sephiroth, and fuck you optional bosses spawns of Satan desert monster and clocktower cockknocker. I eventually beat them, but jeebus they were annoying.

Chain of Memories: Fuck you and your card battle bullshit. I got the very last door and apparently had to have the level one green card or whatever. It was also apparently one of the hardest cards to get. I wasn't going to spend 20 hours to find one card. I ended up watching the ending and Riku's cut scenes on YouTube.

Kingdom Hearts II: I enjoyed it much more than 1, and thought it was a big improvement. Fuck you Sephiroth and they should have left The Little Mermaid out of this one.

L2P imo. CoM was awesome. I played through both Sora's and Riku's stories, and never had any problems getting the cards I needed.

I only played it for the story. I never liked card battle games to begin with.

Also, the gummi ship parts were a lot better in II. I never bothered upgrading anything though.

I honestly felt no incentive to do the extra stuff in KH2.

I feel that you could remove all the disney "worlds" from the game, and just keep the original KH content and make the game five hours long and it would've been a better experience.

Revisiting the same worlds that we saw in the first game was really dissapointing. Maybe come back to a few, but not as many as they did. :(

Hmmm . . . I finished the first one, but never played CoM, and II felt way too much like one early on. I ended up sacking it because I didn't feel like playing the same game over again.

This thread brings back all I loved about the series, though. Anyone care to enlighten me on what versions I should pick up, should I desire to play through this series again?

CoM was the same freaking thing too with all of it's "I lost my memory time to rervisit all the worlds over again!" poop.

Bah!

This is very true. I loved KH2 and didn't mind the worlds as much as the original since they had much better level design, but the middle of the game dragged on since they were rehashing the original for no particular reason other than to pad hours and push the Disney crossover stuff.

Did anybody not play on Pride mode the first time they played through KH2?

It was super easy on Pride mode (with the exception of one or two bosses), I can't imagine playing it on an easier mode.

Am I correct to assume that no one cared about upgrading their gummi ship in either games?
