a little over a min?! I can get 50 everytime in like 8 secs!

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

played another 4 hrs today and got over the intro ^_^
I'm playing at my own pace which is actually kinda slow since I like traveling but proud mode is starting to show its effects during the Land of Dragons.
And yeah the delivery is done much faster since it can be avergely done in 9 sec, so the poster one distracts it from it becuase it gives double the munny if you finish it around a minute.
Roxas became one of my favorites when:

Spoiler:

When he fought his forgotten best friend axel and he got the 2 keyblades for the battle. The combat completely changed and the fight was awsome but I was only able to press the triangle button once ^^; but nontheless it was great. Now I see why they introduction was so long, Roxas needed some play time but he also rocked harder >_<

EDIT: Just out of the record, the new Edit system in GFF rocks ^_^

Most amazing jew boots

Played over 8 hours already, have

Spoiler:

Already "completed" Beast's Castle, Land of Dragons and The Colliseum.

Im loving the game, and dont mind the "recycled" content.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So I take it that Treasure Hunter (or whatever it's called) ability isn't in this game like it was in the first?


Edit: Are there other weapons for you to use as the main weapon in this game other than the original Keyblade? :\

FELIPE NO

yes, there are many more keyblades.. just keep playing :P

im 20hours into so far

Spoiler:

2 org members beat(those are awesome battles) :P

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

umm... I'm a good 4 hours into the game and...

Spoiler:

There were two boss battles where I got beat and King Mickey jumped in and saved my hide. After beating on the boss a bit, my guys were healed and like 1-2 hits later, the boss gets killed.

Is this normal or will it affect me later in the game?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

no.. but, the chance of king mickey helping again is, its a precentage.. at first its at 100%.. then it drops

How ya doing, buddy?

Got a question... is this game really on 3 Gigabytes? Thats like only 1GB bigger than the first....

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

Yeh, the game is only about 3 GB, we're surprised as well when the import game out and there were rips of it...

How ya doing, buddy?

then how come, i read in interviews that the disc was full.. thats why they couldnt really add anything, or do a final mix?

I was speaking idiomatically.

yeah I was wondering... it just doesn't make much sense... haha... Xenosaga Episode 2 was bigger than it in size but much shorter... 20 hours? blah

How ya doing, buddy?

More like "we ran out of money". Besides, FMVs take up most of the disc space, so seeing how there's only a few in there, it isn't too strange that the game is 3 GB.

Now that I'm up to the beginning of Hollow Bastion, I have a few more impressions to add.

I honestly hope the last boss from Roxas' story is just a taste of the amazing battles I can look forward to down the road. It was brief but incredible. It also begs the question....

Spoiler:

Is Axel really dead? It's hard to say, as his death didn't resemble the way the other members in CoM died (just fading away). Also, he has faked his death before. And don't answer this question.

And to add to that...

Spoiler:

I'm pretty surprised Axel cares that much for Roxas, considering the way he backstabbed the other members in CoM. It looked like he had no loyalties to anyone, so seeing him with a compassionate side is a bit surprising. I hope they elaborate more on this later.

I absolutely loved the cutscene that reintroduces Sora. The buildup was just great, like a reunion with an old friend. They've also done a great job establishing the relationship between him, Goofy and Donald. Sora now feels like a genuine part of the Disney universe, and not just a guest star.

The scene where Sora boards the train made me choke up a little.

Spoiler:

The unexplained tear made me think that it came from Roxas, deep within Sora somewhere, saddened to say goodbye to his friends. Nomura sure knows his drama.

Oh God, BEST PETE EVER. I'm utterly amazed how they nailed him down. His animation, the bouncing chinflesh, Jim Cummings rocking as always. Pete alone is a testament to the brilliant artists behind KH.

I doubt the Three Goodfairies are played by their original VA's, but if that isn't the case, the actressess responsible did a damn convincing job. Also,

Spoiler:

The bit about not speaking Maleficent's name reminded me of Voldermort. Was this rule established in Sleeping Beauty? Haven't seen that movie in ages.

I am deeply, deeply saddened that Uncle Scrooge lacks his awesome (and still quite alive) VA. Maybe there's a chance he'll say something later, but I won't give my hopes up.

About Yuffie's "new" VA, it's noticably not Christie Romano, but the VA still does a good job. She puts far more effort than Suvari. Regardless, she's a bit more cheerful and older sounding compared to Romano's Yuffie. I really hope this will be the only exception, especially considering Yuffie's role in DoC.

Love the remade Hollow Bastion theme.

Finally, is it me, or is Mickey saying "Pown" instead of "Town"? :/

FELIPE NO

I dunno about that chin flesh on pete. It seems to change between hard and soft all the time. Sometimes it flaps around like a double chin..all blubbery. But then othertimes it'll stay still like its part of his jaw. I think the animator's should have studied the character a bit more or something.

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

Hmm I wonder if we'll uh play as or see Roxas again later on in the story... only 5 hours in...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think you're referring to the low-res models I mentioned before, the ones that don't use those lush facial expressions and rely solely on stiff mouth flaps. It'd be great if they simply didn't exist, but I'm very pleased that so far, the hi-res faces are used much more often than the low-res ones.

Too bad Yuffie's first appearance has her in low-res. Hope we get a hi-res cute Yuffie later.

Same applies to that "other girl".

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Does anyone know who the uber boss is in this game? Sephiroth was god on Kingdom Hearts 1, I wonder who's it going to be this time around.

How ya doing, buddy?

about the voice actor, it was a little odd to hear sora at first >.> I was like wtf they change the actor? but then I remember that the actor is now 18 years old >.> but then you can see that sora did grown up, I thought that it was strange that his short was so... short XD

for now the only voice actor that I really don't like, it's Aeris >.> she totally don't have it >.> not just because of the bad acting, but the voice doesn't fit with the character >.<

oh is it me or David Boreanaze doesn't do Leon anymore? I thought that his voice was a little different... too bad I really like him in this role >.>

oh and the new costume of Yuffie, is it the one in DoC ? I like it, but the green fit her better XD

oh and about sephiroth I'll pu it in spoiler because i'm not sure (but it come from a early scene in the game)

Spoiler:

is it me or I saw him in one of the Organization XIII?!!! we saw him briefly when they show them on some white big throne

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

About sephiroth:

Spoiler:

I noticed him too, he was in the lower seats with his head down but you could clearly tell his hairstyle apart. There were also a few other people without their hoods on but I'm guessing a few of them showed up in CoM.

I can't wait to see the rest of the story ^_^

I'm going to have to agree on this one... I was expecting so much more from Suvari... and if this is the effort that she put into this character for KH2, I shudder to think of how she was for FFVII:AC...

The other character I did not like the VA for so far... Cid. I heard him speak and I half-expected to see a jug of moonshine in the background or a Toby Keith song playing...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Spoiler:

All the Organization members in that scene that were unhooded were from COM. The one you were talking about was Vexen.

As for me, my first day having it, I've played about 12 hours. I just completed Agrabah.

I noticed a few changes in the POTC world.

Spoiler:

1. When Will Turner threatens to take his own life aboard one of the ships, he holds the gun to his neck as he does this. In the NA version, he doesn't.
2. When you cast fire on the pirate enemies, they're on fire. In the NA version, they're not.
3. The pirates with the shotguns or rifles (not quite sure what gun type they are), in the NA version, the gun has some kind of crossbow thing attached to the end of the barrel.
4. When the scene where jack is revealed to have the curse as well; when Barbossa stabs him, the sword is stuck in Jack as he sees himself as a zombie. In the NA version, the sword isn't stuck into Jack at all.

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

Sephiroth is still there, and while he does have 15 health bars and some crazy moves, he's really not that hard... if you know the battle system well you can beat him like at level 40 or so, otherwise 60ish would put you on equal footing with him. Crazy endurance match like usual.

Sad thing is you can only fight him once and then he's gone forever ;_; so maybe you might want to make a save file for that battle.

It isn't. The new guy seems to do a better job though.

It wasn't so odd for me, since I've been hearing Osment in IGPX. Still, it adds a touch of realism to have his voice change like that when he grew. It's a much smoother transition then in Harry Potter (horrible voices in the 2nd movie).

Osment is 18 now?

It's her AC outfit.

SO. FUCKING. LAME. :aargh:

I decided to give Proud Mode a try, skipping cutscenes in Roxas' story and fighting some of the battles. I went up to the fight with Setzer, and so far I haven't really noticed a difference aside from losing more HP with each hit. The enemies seem to use the same patterns as in Normal (though I did notice a couple of new attacks from Setzer, but maybe that was because I was prolonging the fight). If the only difference in Proud Mode is more HP loss, then I'll stick with Normal.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay, I am currently

Spoiler:

]inside the haunted mansion in the basement on the 6th day.

It could be just me, but I find the intro dreadfully BORING. When does the plot/game pick up? Give me generic answers as I don't want to be spoiled. Am I close or not even? KH was more faster-paced than this.

P.S. From what I've played so far, the voice acting is better than in KH. Two thumbs up.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Only difference in Proud mode is obviously taking more damage, and a more aggressive AI (well and the secret ending but that isn't really related to the gameplay itself).

Although in my opinion, and I guess it's from playing the hell out of the first game and learning how everything worked, Proud mode seems easier than Hard mode from the first game.

I guess it was probably due to not knowing how to do some essential survival moves back then, but now that they are second nature it's just a matter of reflexes.

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

I started playing today and finished the intro, or let's rather say, the tutorial after some good four hours, and yeah, it was pretty boring. But okay, tutorials are meant to be boring, right?

I chose beginner mode because even though I heard that it's almost impossible to die, I haven't played Kingdom Hearts 1, and I am planning to replay the game in normal or proud mode to unlock the bonus ending video anyway!

So far, -except for the tutorial- it's a really cool game

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