[PS2] Kingdom Hearts 2

Nah, I'm playing Normal mode for now. I might go back through Proud mode after I beat that though. I planned on keeping Donald in my party anyway, since it seems more balanced to have two fighters and one mage.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Spoiler:

finally reunited with riku, that was pretty sad.. i almost shed a tear myself :P

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

I like how Kairi got ignored because of Riku, LOL

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Spoiler:

yeah, he didnt even cry when he got back with kairi, only when he realized that was riku.. heh, btw.. how do you fight another person in the struggle R tournament? ive fought Hayner like 5times

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

maxed out drive and summons are needed and locked all worlds, its lame since i dont use summons that much and its hard to gain drive points too, i will totally recommend Oblivion tower (or was that twilight) Because only nobodys give out points to level up Drives and summons

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Spoiler:

all that to fight seifer and setzer in the tourney? I have maxed drives right now.. not summons though - damn, i thought that was just for the special ending on normal mode.. but you need to complete teh journal.. im trying to do that now, gonna take awhile. lol

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

if possible please say if the spoiler is like early, mid-game or end-game >.> I don't want to click on it to see if I have seen this scene or not >.>

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

all my stuff, is end game stuff :P im 35hours into it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

When you mean maxxed out, does it mean all Drives are level 5? If so then do the summons which is more harder

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

oh no ;/ just a full 5drive bars.. oh well. lol.. they are about lvl 4 tho.. what is max level for drives?

FELIPE NO

I played more tonight, and woah, I FINALLY can go to other worlds! I stopped at the Land of Dragons 'cause my little sister wanted me to go there. If I had known earlier that I would have needed Cure, however, I would've went to the other worlds instead. Oh well.

Now here's my thoughts on what I've experienced so far.

1. They actually fixed all the bloody issues I've had with the battle system from the first game, OMG! The issues I had an extreme annoyance with were the fact you 1) couldn't open treasure chests during battle, 2) you couldn't leave the area during a battle (if you wanted to go somewhere and you had to pull a lever to open a door to advance, then it's tough luck for you!), and 3) if you went even a step forwards after defeating a dozen enemies, a dozen more enemies will appear to give you major grief, forcing you to battle when you don't want to. THANK YOU, SQUARE!

2. Gotta love the voice-acting, but unfortunately, the FF characters didn't quite pass the Quality test. I agree with everyone that Aeris sounds just too flat. She's my only major beef though. The rest are decent enough. Yuffie's acting is good. Cid is good too. The fact he sounds like a Southern this time around doesn't mean he's a bad voice actor. However, decent as they may sound, they could've been great if only they put a little more effort into it.

3. I can't remember everything that was mentioned in this therad, but am I the only one who thinks Leon's model is a major improvement this time around? Compared to his KH model, his hair and face in KH II is much nicer, and I just love his facial expressions. They're very impressive, and the fact that Squall is my favourite FF character of all time just makes it even better. It's like I am looking at a totally different character.

4. I hate the whole 'morale' thing in battle.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Spoiler:

btw, Xigbar was a pain in the ass.. i cant imagine him on proud.. he teleports way to friggin much.. lol..

hows the luxord fight? hes next

Jam it back in, in the dark.

7 full drivebars and level 5 drives, are the max. They are quite painful to get since its hard to level at stupid nobodys.

Oh btw did you get the skills/techniques where sora is like so unstoppable, The battles do shine once you get those.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i think i have most of them.. im like lvl 52. I mow down thousands of heartless/nobodies with ease.. with a certain keyblade :P

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

Oblivion? or Ultima btw those two swords are good for combo

How ya doing, buddy?

Spoiler:

Oblivion.. i dont have Ultima yet, still have synthesis'n to do. I like dual weilding Oathkeeper and Oblivion.. just because roxas does :P

Not really hard, it's just very time consuming. Lots of emphasis on the very.

No, 7 is the maximum level. You get something good for Driving a lot late in the game. Something that should help is the fact that if you leave a world while in Drive, you get all of your Drive gauge back.

Wasn't all that hard, actually. Once Again helps.

I've beaten the game; the final boss is actually difficult. clearly, they took the complaints about Ansem in the first game to heart.

However, I still have quibbles about the game, mostly the lack of Organization XIII interaction. The game gives the impression of a cohesive group, but we only see a single scene where two members actually talk to each other; and it's on the last world.

FELIPE NO

Whats everyones max combo?

Spoiler:

345 hits with tron's Complete Compilement move, and some attks from sora.

Around 400+ with Simba spamming

How ya doing, buddy?

15 Hours in now

Spoiler:

Atlantica is addicting, but I hate how the world has to be done in parts, each chapter requires someone more ludacris than the last one. I need to be able to store 5 Drive Meters to progress.

Also..Wow..Kairi...looks great...err...wtf shes in Twilight Town now? AND TT IS BACK OPEN? YES!!!!

And Axel still rocks. Can't wait to get deeper into this plot line..its sooooooo mysterious

You can level up drives faster using the drive glitches, which luckly remained in the NA version, check gamefaqs for more info on them.

Or I can just post them here, this contain no story spoilers except for world name spoilers and such, but I'll tag it anway:

How to max out your drive gauge fast- credits to gamefaqs and KHU forums

Spoiler:

*if you have at least 3 drive gauge
1. go to save point
2. drive into either wisdom or brave
3. get on the save point and exit the world

another way
1. drive into either wisdom or brave
2. go to the area where you get automatically seperated with your party members(eg:save point right before important event).

* if you have 0 drive gauge
1. go to olympus
2. join one of the cup(I use cerberus cup)
3. exit right away

How to level up easily with Brave

1. equip the weakest keyblade you have(like poo's keychain + kingdom chain).
2. make donald and Goofy useless (unequip all ability except cure, equip the weakest weapon)
3. battle
4. exit world and refill the gauge
5. come back
6. repeat 1~5

How to level up easily with Wisdom

1. go to "the world that never was"
2. go to the second area(the one right after the first save point)
3. shadow will infinitely appear. Kill them until drive gauge go empty.
4. exit world and refill the gauge
5. come back
6. repeat 1~5

How to level up easily with Master

1. go to the land of dragons
2. start from the king's room
3. go to next room and drive(don't for get to equip price up accesory or keyblade)
4. battle as much as you can(those big Kentaur Heartless gives a lot of yellow balls)
5. exit world and refill the gauge
6. come back
7. repeat 1~6

How to level up easily(?) with Final
1. go to the world that never was
2. start from the FINAL save point
3. kill nobodys
4. exit world and refill the gauge
5. come back
6. repeat 1~3


Fast Final Form EXP- Credit goes to Krim
I have something to add for leveling up final, and leveling up in general

Go to the mysterious tower, and use your final form than just fly around and use Magnetga on every group of enemies you see, and you get like 2,000 exp on 1 group of enemies and it takes like 1 second to kill them, on top of that all the MP balls, and items float right to you no matter how far away you are.

Also right before your Final form ends make sure to leave the world than come back so you can have full drive again.

Being in final form is what makes Magnetga strong enough to kill anything in 1 second(literally, no exaggeration here) I went up 10 levels in that tower because of that exploit.

Above link leads to spoilers, beware.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

When can I drive myself into wisdom or brave? I only can use that vauld or whatever the name is (the first drive U get). In which other ways can I refill my gauge beside leaving to the worldmap?
Yep the morale thing is anoying but at least it makes the game a little bit more difficult.
Do you have to search for some of the ansem reports or will you get all of them right away through the game?

Most amazing jew boots

There two ways to refill the gauges, the glitches I posted above, or by attacking enemies which builds it up and getting drive balls which fills the bar up. That's of course the normal method and makes driving to level up forms hard. AND it makes obtaining final form harder.

Here's a method on getting final form using the glitch, which is crucial, without the glitch it would take FOREVER, note you must be in the FINAL WORLD to get it:

Spoiler:

In the World that never was, you can get final form. Final form is obtained the same way as anit form does, everytime you drive, an invisible count bar for anti forms fills up, when you drive approx 10 times, in either Valor, Wisdom or Master, you add +10 to the bar, which triggers Anti form. In the world that never was however, you have a chance to turn into FINAL form instead or ANTI form, if it doesnt happen the first time and you turn into Anti form, keep driving repeatly till you get Final Form.

How to drive repeatly you ask? At one point in WTNW, you will see a cutscene with Roxas, after wards a cutscene where Sora uses the keyblade to make a bridge, DO NOT CROSS THAT BRIDGE! Instead that save area around the bridge is the perfect drive glitch spot, you party members are now NPCs, meaning the glitch will work.

Head back to the previous section and get into battle, drive into any form you wish, battle, head back to the bridge save point before the bar runs out, and do it 10 times or so, if you drive into Anti, go back to save point to refill, and try another 10 times. You will defintly be able to get Final Form if you drive 30 times in WTNW. I got mine on the 20th time or so, meaning I got Anti form, then drived several times more before Final Form randomly pops in

I was speaking idiomatically.

is the anti-form the one that

Spoiler:

you turn like an heartless and go like in a rampage? because I turn into that one time in the black and white world
