[PS2] Kingdom Hearts 2

Spoiler:

Mickey never helped me even once

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

You need to die at SPECIFIC boss fights to get the special thing to happen,Liquid_Snack. Here's a list of the boss fights that will trigger it:

Spoiler:

Shan-Yu (Land of Dragons)
Gate Gaurdian & possessor (Beast's Castle)
Shadow Stalker (Beast's Castle)
Black Thorn (Beast's Castle)
Cerberus (Olympus Coliseum)
Hydra (Olympus Coliseum)
Volcanic Lord & Blizzard Lord (Agrabah)
Storm Rider (Land of Dragons)
Xaldin (Beast's Castle)
Grim Reaper I (Port Royal)
Armored Xemnas

The chances of getting the special option are:
- First time - 100%
- Second time - 80%
- Third time - 64%
- Fourth time and after - 50%

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In a fight the fight to Xaldin I die twice and mickey came help me twice in a row ^^ you can't diw with him, if you are able to charge it to max, he revive you full hp/mp (not sure about drive), but if you are not able, just when he's suppose to diw, he will revive you but not full.

and i'm so sad! I totally missed the world of Lion King! big warning to everyone, when you will see Hollow Bastion surround by darkness on the "world map" don't go in right away! go do all the world first.

when I finally came back from Hollow Bastion the world from Lion King was lock >.< I think I can unlock it again, but i'm the part of the game that

Spoiler:

I need to visite all the world again, if I go to the lion king world, will I have the "first story" too? or will I have the second and they will act like I did the first story? (I hope not >.>)

and anyone who said something about the game being too easy, they surely didn't fight any Nobodies from the organization XIII, they are so hard for me at normal, I just don't want to imagine them in proud >.>

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I had that problem too....
Answer:

Spoiler:

Yes, you can go and it'll do the first story, then upon completion of that immediately unlock the 2nd story. Be warned, you will be confused though, since the first story takes place before the events in Hollow bastion, so you'll see Pete as the main villian :P

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

Can I drop in for a small question? This one's for those that had played KH2 in Japanese and actually understood the language:

Spoiler:

What does the quote that Riku says mean when Sora changes down his party member Goofy or Donald into him?

I've been wondering this for a long time. He only says that one quote, I believe, when changing. Narashi something...
Many many thanks!

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

thirdjean:

I put part of your post in spoilers. Do this in the future whenever mentioning a character like that. =)

Edit: The same goes for Liquid_Snack's post.

I was speaking idiomatically.

People are not being careful with their spoilers. Even though I already know about the "assistance" you can get in boss fights, many people still don't. You're ruining a cool moment for them.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just got the game yesterday and played it for 8 hors straight. I have a question. I just acquired this ability called Auto Valfor. I don't know how to use it. Are you supposed to automatically change into your drive mode? I've tried looking for the Reaction Command but I didn't see it.

Also. I think Yen sid was playing favorites when he gave sora new clothes and nobody else. If I was donald I would be mad.

How ya doing, buddy?

@Rayne: Auto Valor only triggers if Sora's HP are low plus his Drive Gauge needs to be full.
And Donald shouldn't complain, since he'll get the chance to fuse with Sora some worlds after you acquired Valor.

EDIT: FUCK. Aerith sounds so freaking lifeless. I hope they'll keep the old actress for Aerith in the German version.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, man, I just entered Timeless River (Steamboat Willie). Just when I thought things couldn't get better, along comes this incredibly accurate portrayal of Mickey's first outing. They even added a static effect to make the voices appear old. It's pretty creepy.

I just wish they had the characters dance in place like in those old cartoons.

I actually feel sorry for Pete.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah, i got the game on wednesday when they finally arrived!

I played quite a bit, I just left Timeless River, and I just LOVED how they did place, my goodness they did it so well <3

Wont have much time to play though, finals are coming up =(

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Xaldin is kicking my ass in the Beast's Castle. Help?

(Nevermind...got him...)

Well Sora's clothes were way too small for him (since he grew over the time he was in the capsule), while Donald and Goofy didn't really grow (they're not exactly in puberty...)

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

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

After Timeless River, I have serious questions regarding how Disney characters age, if they even thought that through. Even so, I would've liked new outfits for Donald and Goofy, even though I love Donald's zipper-heavy digs.

I have a question about Yao, from Mulan (the small guy). Is he missing an eye, or is it swollen like that on account that he constantly gets into fights? That always bugged me.

Also, I've always wondered if Pete is a cat or a dog. The bullish face and large girth suggests dog, but after seeing his SW incarnation, it seems to resemble a cat more. Wikipedia doesn't seem to know the answer either, stating that he began as a cat but now seems to be a dog.

And for a bit of trivia, it turns out that Pete predates Mickey, making him one of the oldest Disney characters ever.

I also have an early observation about the Organization. If you're past the intdroduction, you can read this.

Spoiler:

I notice how there seems to be a diversity in age between the members. It's my guess that the first members, like no. 1, are the oldest, and the ones who join after are younger, with no. 13 being the youngest. That would explain why the last member is around Sora's age, while Axel is about 2-3 years older. Am I correct here?

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

FELIPE NO

No, Chain of Memories states that No. XI Marluxia is a "neophyte" and the leader's original self is clearly stated to be "young". The numbers have to do with seniority in the Organization.

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

I wish you could refight the org members in the colliseum.. that would be awesome.. fight them whenver you want.. to me, those were the best boss battles in the game.

How ya doing, buddy?

My apologies for the spoiler.

You know, I had the exact same problem. Mine was due to the fact that it was a timed battle, and it relies on reaction commands. 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

Anywho.. as far as where I'm at:

Spoiler:

I just finished redoing all of the worlds again. That big ass city appeared at the back of the world map behind twilight town, and I just reopened twilight town. I have to go back to hollow bastion now and finish (I assume) the tron world. Is it just me or does Mickey elude you everytime you seek answers?

Edit: My bad if anyone saw the first post, messed up the spoiler tag. =(

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

you did the spoil tags wrong btw :P

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

Woohoo. I managed to get this working with Cogswap Loader. If it didn't work, I'd play it off my hard drive but it isn't as fun using other people's saved games. (game crashes when you're going to use the gummi ship)

Just cleared the tutorial and apparently the first part of hollow bastion. Going to the land of Dragons now, I suppose this is Mulan's world. I haven't seen the movie, so this'll be entirely new for me.

I really like the game so far, although the introduction was a bit too long. But I doubt it'll disappoint me now. Much of the stuff that was rather annoying is fixed now, fortunately.

I want an original PAL release so bad ;___;

Oh, and:

Spoiler:

I kind of like the gummi ship minigame. It reminds me of Rez for some reason.

How ya doing, buddy?

I didn't mention this before but did anybody find the Morale thing on the mulan world as a waste of time. Or is there some sort of secret behind it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

How come the deep dive scene wasn't what I expected? It wasn't cool at all. I was expecting the coolness of the thunder and lightning and the running of the wall. But I didn't get any of it. Where's the scene that everyone wanted to see?

FELIPE NO

end game spoiler!

Spoiler:

Just finish the game with 32h of gameplay ^^ GOD this game is AWESOME! the ending wasn't as strong as the first one but still a PERFECT ending ^^ I wich we could have sseen more of whathappen to Aeris, Cloud, Tifa etc... and God that Final boss was so fun! at first I thought: what's? already finish! bleh was too easy, and after: oh it's not finish! another boss fight, and again, ok was fun but didn't feel like a final boss. and the last fight, now this is the fight I was waiting for XD was really fun, not too hard, not too easy, just a good challenge ^^

now I finish with my journal at 86% and there still some things I have to do. Still didn't get the final form drive and I didn,t fight sephiroth (I have to find where to fight it first >.>)... I'm not really sure of what I need to do now to complete my journal. I think I'll go try proud mode to see the secret ending, I sure hope it's worth it because i'm sure there's some boss that will be extreme to kill! I wonder what was written in the King letter at the en (I hope the secret ending is not just that)

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