That's a common mistake that ALOT of people make.

Yeah, though this guy at Gamestop told me that if you don't have it preordered then you're not getting it tomorrow (March 29th).

Whatever, screw him - I'm getting it tomorrow.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Keep reloading. I got lucky and was one of the first ones to get it before the server got swamped.

Yeah it works for me.

Just reload once or twice.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Do any of your friends have cars? 'Cause that's the way to go...unless walking is your forte.

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

what fucktards.

sorry.. had to say :P

Um. When Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (The Game) gets a 7.9 and beats Kingdom Hearts II, you know someone is smoking something at IGN.

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

I just got the game today at Gamestop. I went to Gamestop yesterday but they hadn't gotten it yet, but one of the fucktards there said that I wouldn't get it today if I hadn't pre-ordered because of how hyped up the game is.


Well screw him. I got it.



The game is really good, but Passion is definitely better than Sanctuary. Still the game is fun thus far - I've only played an hour though (I have homework...).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I love the game and everything, but I can't beat one boss.

Spoiler:

I'm back at Hollow Bastion right before the 1000 Heartless fight. Demyx is just kicking my ass. I've tried three times and I just can't seem to get an edge on him. The first time he just whooped me, I got him down to two health bars but his geyser-like attack thing that he does like all the time owned me. The second and third times I lost because I didn't kill the ten water-things in ten seconds.

I'm going to try again tomorrow, but I'm fearing the same result - however I forgot to go do the Pride Lands so I went ahead and did that along with Agrabah so now I'm a few levels higher.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I believe he's technically a cat due to the nature of him being a perfect foe for Mickey - a mouse. However, I think he was recently changed into a dog-like character as time progressed.

If you compare older cartoons of Pete (like in the Timeless River world) he's a cat, but if you look at "modern" Pete, he looks like a bulldog. Apparently he just evolved.

I had the auto-limit on for Goofy, which wasted a LOT of time, and usually resulted in me failing. I turned that off, and I activated the ability that allows you to counterattack in by hitting square after being hit. These both helped enormously in that fight, if it's any help.

Also, has anyone else found that just alternate hitting X and triangle button in battle tends to help? I keep an eye out for reaction commands and continue to smash either button so I can nail a reaction command or continue to attack. Was wondering if this was pretty common. =X

Alright. I'll play around with some of the abilities and try again in a bit.


[EDIT:] I beat him, easy.

How ya doing, buddy?

Turned into dark Sora? This happened to me when I was fighting Xaldin. I hadn't read the manual previous to this, and didn't know that it could happen. I wailed on him though. Dark Sora looks pretty darn cool.

Spoiler:

Yeah. I had that happen at the Disney castle against some random Heartless. Is there a requirement or something to do this?

Well...

Spoiler:

No worries. They actually sing the songs from The Little Mermaid movie - "Part of Your World" and "Under the Sea" later on when you go back.

I believe you can still see the special ending without going there. Beating the game on proud mode doesn't require you to complete the journal to see the secret ending.

Well, turning down the volume is always a choice.

Spoiler:

Yes, you don't have to complete the journal, but don't you still have to complete all the worlds?

Once all your forms are at MAX level and you equipped all those jump and glide abilities, watch this video below and see what this guy did. His route is probably the easier to navigate

Remember with the final level of Glide, as long as you hold the button down and don't let go, you will keep floating. (Unless you hit an up ramp.) Practice around the town abit till you get the hang of what the above player did. The player is also using Aerial dodge to speed his way to the posters spots.

Um. Holy crap. I need to go ahead and master all my forms then...wow...

Yeah, I just beat it during GFF's downtime as well. Liked the ending BTW.

Spoiler:

So yeah, I heard that when Kingdom Hearts III is made (for the PS3), it would not star Riku, Sora, and the others like Inhert said. So yeah, KHIII is to star new people and it does seem interesting due to how odd the Secret Ending was.

Spoiler:

Knights and a Keyblade Graveyard.

So yeah, looks like Square Enix is going to go Final Fantasy on this series.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Is this the final area? Or will you get a chance to go back to the Gummi Ship and finish the other worlds once you finish this area? I still haven't completed Pride Lands, Atlantica, or Space Paranoids.

Well...

Spoiler:

Right after you fight Xenmas the first time, the door of Kingdom Hearts appears. The game will then prompt you to go out and finish everything (all the "????") before returning, in which when you want to finish the game you can just enter through the door.

How ya doing, buddy?

How the fuck do you beat that Orginization XIII member at Beast's Castle? The one with the lances and hits you for insane damage and you die in like 4 hits.

Damn I've been stuck on him for a few days now.

Spoiler:

Pack potions and ethers, of course. Also, equip anything that you think will help. Counterattack abilities, and the like help a lot. I took Donald and Goofy into battle, because Donald heals and does long-range attacks and Goofy is pretty strong over - plus you can go Valor form if needed. There'll be times that you get prompted to learn Jump. Do it. Seriously. It stops him, and allows you to combo him like crazy.

Um...make sure you have Cure-whatever it is you have by that time, equipped to one of your quick links (I had it as L1+X). It helps a shit-ton.

What else. Oh, never run away. His range is huge, so running away just puts you at even more of a disadvantage. Just keep attacking.


It took me a few times before I took him down - a few mix and matches of abilites, a few different strategies - but I did it.

Best places to level forms, in my opinion:

Spoiler:

For Valor and Final: The World That Never Was, the castle. There are a lot of Nobodies throughout for leveling the Final easily. The Nobodies also have high HP, so equipping the weapon you get after finishing Pooh's book (Something about Memories, though it ups strength and magic by zero) you'll be able to level Valor in no time at all.

Wisdom: The World That Never Was, the opening area. There a lot of the weak heartless throughout the beginning areas before the castle - easy leveling.

Master: The Land of Dragons (Mulan World). That area at near the peak of the mountain with the stuff you can break to get the drive balls. Just grab all of them, leave and then come back - they reappear.
