Yes, you have to defeat him. He always starts the battle with a reaction command, so I suggest pushing the triangle button rapidly as the fight starts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Can anyone show me a list of where all torn pages are? Trying to finish all worlds successfully. HATE Sephiroth cause I'm only at level 45 and already beaten the game using the Oblivion Keyblade.

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

hmm yu cant really miss the torn page, because they are in those big chest... so if you get all those big chest (which they are always very easy to find) you will have all of them...

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

I'm taking my time with it and so far I'm at the carrabean world.
Damn do I hate those pirates, I must have died so many times >_< That damn timer appeared out of nowhere and I didn't know what to do. I hate those pirates!

I was speaking idiomatically.

I just got this game last thursday and I've been having a great time with it. I won't repeat what's already been said but I just got to

Spoiler:

Hollow Bastion where the darkness is covering it and the big LotR style war of heartless is happening

I think that the Sephiroth/Cloud thing is just a bit over played myself but as long as it doesn't become more important than rest of the story it'll be alright. The gummi ship parts are a lot more fun now, almost Star Fox fun but I'm to lazy to build my own gummi ship so I just stick with the pre-made blueprints.

I have a question though, I haven't completed Atlantica yet and I read some where that I should complete the worlds before going back to Hollow Bastion. Do I really need to?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Not that I'm aware of. I had one episode left in Atlantica before finishing Hollow Bastion's third episode.

FELIPE NO

>.< the antisipation is really really killing me... i wont beable to play untill may 15th!!!! i dont even own it yet... i must play must i say must...i hope the price has dropped by the time i buy it thought ^^

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

I finished Timeless River today and went to Atlantica next. Timeless River was pretty darn cool. Did anyone besides me feel bad when you fought

Spoiler:

old Pete? He had done nothing wrong, and there you were hacking away at him and all he wanted to do was try to get away from you. Those animations of him freaking out and running made me feel really sorry for him. Also, I forgot he had a tail back then!

Atlantica was crap during the time I was there. Man, that song in the musical is really annoying. "Finny fun?" Whoever wrote that song should be shot. Whatever happened to Under The Sea? I hated Atlantica in the first game, and it's just as bad in the sequel : /

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, I hated Atlantica even more than in the first game. I had to turn off the sound to play those parts.

Spoiler:

Ursula's Revenge was halfway decent though. Bitch got stabbed. And if you do it right and kill her little eel bastards you're all "I killed those niggas." and it rocks.

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

The ending was good enough for me. It wasn't spectacular, but I felt that it wrapped up the story that I started playing in the first one. I can't really remember my battle report from the end, except for I had an 89% completion. I'm going to go back and do more, I was just eager to see the ending. Curious as to what the letter from the king said.

Had a questions regarding journal completion:

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I'm considering playing it over again to see those little things I missed the first time.

Spoiler:

The secret ending wasn't about the king's letter though. If you really wish to know what it's about I'll have it down in the next spoiler box.

Secret Ending spoiler:

Spoiler:

It's more like a pre-announcement of KH3. No one we really knew were in there. Bigger ending spoiler:

Spoiler:

The only things we can recognize so far are the keyblades of the Sora's, Riku's, and Mickey's, stabbed on the groung.

Reply to your second spoiler quote:

Spoiler:

Yes, I was once curious about that part too, so I tried it myself: Yes, you have to beat him in order to get that in the Jiminy's notes. Be sure to press the triangle to block his initial attacks so that your last longer.

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

for the secret ending

Spoiler:

I saw it on the internet, well to tell the truth I remember tohave watch it even before playing the agme, but I didn't remember till i saw it a second time XD So for this secret ending, I read that it's in the past (aparantly Nomura said it in a interview) and he did said that the next Kingdom hearts will not be another sequel. It will prbably another spin-off(not sure if it's the right term) like CoM. I did really like to see the Keyblade War, this seem pretty exciting to me. So I'm guessing that the next KH (if there's one) will probably be on how the keyblade were created, and for what purpose. If i'm correct, the heartless did came really after the keyblade, so for what else the keyblade were created? I hope this will be answer, and by the look of the three character, this seem to be a more serious game, but heh this will be hard to make something more mature with Disney...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ok I don't think this needs a spoiler tag... I was fighting a boss and used the drive and instead of having two keyblades Sora transformed into what seemed like a heartless that looked like Sora with uh monkey like movements... and he fought with his fists... it seemed like a total waste because it was actually weaker than the regular form... does this normally happen or have I come across some kind of glitch? haha

Oh, and if the answer involves spoiling a bit of story then instead answer with a nice you shall find out... or one of the spoiler tags... yeah...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Why the fuck would that be a glitch? Use your common sense.

It's called AntiForm and is the result of Driving too much and the chances of getting it are higher in Organization XIII battles.

FELIPE NO

actully....

Spoiler:

it's the result of being damaged while in a drive from... apparently using the 'final form' will reset the damage counter reducing the probablility of going into the anti formp
here's the proof for the activation of anti form

Umm I've over used it before and nothing happened, and the battle it happened in didn't involve Organization XIII... as to why the fuck it would be a glitch? Oh thats simple... other games I've played have had glitches where NPCs or player characters just turn completely black...

Khuhazan, PLEASE read this before posting again. The info below is canon, since it comes from the KH2 Ultimania Book, so its official.

Spoiler:

Anti Form

Sora has an Anti Count, which is not displayed on-screen.
As that Anti Count grows higher, there is more of a chance of Sora Driving into Anti Form.

Anti Form is not activated when:
a) You are outside battle.
An ally is fainted.
c) You Drive into Final Form.


Things that affect Anti Count

- Driving into Brave, Wisdom or Master Forms adds 1 to your Anti Count.
- Driving into Final Form subtracts 10 from your Anti Count.
- Driving into Anti Form subtracts 4 from your Anti Count.
- Getting a new Form resets your Anti Count to zero.


Percentage Chance of Driving into Anti Form

Count -> Chance
0-4 -> 0%
5-9 -> 10%
10+ -> 25%


Battles that affect Anti Form activation

- Mandatory battles double your chances of getting it.
- XIII Order battles quadruple your chances of getting it.
- The battle with Xemnas (Armoured) multiplies the change of getting it by 10.
- Battles which introduce new allies or special battles (VS Beast, Hades, Pete, Past Pete, Barbossa, etc.) bring the count to zero.

How ya doing, buddy?

So is Anti Drive Bad? And how do you get Final Form? I have it already, I just don't know how I got it.

One thing I was looking forward to was getting my special moves back.
What happened to Strike Raid, and Ars Arcanum?

Spoiler:

And what happened to Malificent at the end. And when did Kairi become A Heartless

They were replaced by limit breaks and drives :biggrin:

I dont see how it's so weak. I fought Xigbar or whichever one has the Halo Needler weapon and when I got Anti Form I tore him apart.

Spoiler:

Yeah, I did feel kind of bad, especially when it turned out he had a bad back. Beating up your elders just ain't cool. If anything, I always felt Mickey was sort of the bad guy in the old cartoon. Watch Steamboat Willie and see what he does to a cat.

I feel bad for normal Pete too. He was too mischevious to be allowed around Disney castle, but he isn't bad enough to hang around with Maleficent and the other bad guys. He's rejected by both sides. Yeah, I'm a softy, I felt bad when he tearfully reminisced about the "good 'ol days".

It's amazing how in the span of 30 minutes, you were treated to wave after wave of fanboy material.

For the FFVII fans, you meet Cloud.

Then for the anime SD/Loli crowd, you had the YRP Fairies (Devil Paine is so cute).

For the FFVII fans again, you met a certain leading lady who could shake up an entire room with one kick.

Spoiler:

I really hope they elaborate on the story here. Was Squall purposely keeping Tifa from finding the hidden room? Why doesn't she ask Aerith or the other characters where Cloud is? Or is she on her own, and if so why? Damn Nomura.

Then for the Disney fans, a certain mischevious creature that my sister loves and worships above all others.

And finally, for the computer/retro geek, the Tron world, which ironically has far better graphics than the actual movie. I love the techno Nintendo-style music, and I really really hope they make a figure of Tron Sora.

And entirely change the polygon model, command menu, and attacking in such a clean fashion?

Same way you get AntiForm after you get past the first room in the World That never Was.

Read the Secret Ansem Reports.

Hey. Asshole. How are you?

Mark your spoilers, dispshit.

Thanks.

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

Added a spoiler tag to Interrobang's post.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Did Port Royal piss you off like it's doing to me? It's my first time there and I keep getting trashed in that

Spoiler:

'protect medallion from pirates' thing. I barely do any damage to the pirates when they steal it. Am I supposed to sink the other ship with the cannonballs, or is it optional?? I don't really know what I'm supposed to do. This is the toughest fight I've encountered so far : /

Any help or hints or whatever please, such as what accessories I should be equipping and stuff?
