Kingdom Hearts

I once deleted an 80+ hour Skyrim character with all main questlines beaten.

I once ... uhm, no actually, I've got nothing to top that. I am instead always very careful with my save files.

duuuuuuude

i dont think ive ever deleted anything that bad

While not deleted, I lost my copy of New Leaf last summer.

It's not worth redoing. You did it all. You know it, the trophy system knows it, we know it. It's not worth doing something you won't enjoy just so that the demonstrably fickle file system knows it.

Except I didn't. I had to get the post-game attack and enemy cards still.

And the trophy system doesn't know it. That's the problem. I want that Platinum, but I have to do it again to get it.

My copies of 358/2 Days and re:Coded were stolen. The DS wasn't, though.

That's rough, buddy.

Kingdom Hearts Chi update!

The name of the foreteller Vulpeus is revealed. She is Madam Ava. Also Ephemera is a flower ... somehow.

Ugh, I have too much mummy and nothing to spend it on in 3D. I miss BBS's command synthisizing so I have a reason to buy stuff.

That makes sense.

I'm going to take "dandelion" as a metaphor for him being free to float around the unions.

Well, I wouldn't put it beyond Kingdom Hearts to make this metaphor quite literal. Though that would probably invalidate my theory that Ephemera will turn out to be the true Big Bad behind everything. Also I'm surprised that the names of the foretellers will be revealed like that. I expected some dramatic unmasking to reveal that they are preincarnations to already established characters.

I still say it's not wirth it.

Of course it's not. It's also not worth it to play each story three times to get the Beginner and Proud trophies because 1.5 is stupid and doesn't let the difficulties stack, but I was going to do that too. Not right away, but it was going to happen eventually.

As long as there aren't too many multiplayer trophies, or challenges that are unreasonably difficult (looking at you, "Virtually Impossible" trophy in Metal Gear Solid 2), I will always want the Platinum for a game. Why do you think I spent time working for all the Gummi Ship missions in Final Mix? The only thing that gets you in-game is the final blueprint. But there's a trophy for blueprints, so I got it.

Anyway, I think what I'll do is play FFX and then go back to COM afterwards. Or maybe even FFX, then KHI again on Beginner to wrap up all but one of the trophies I have left (that'll be a really fun run: no continues, keep the starting equipment through the whole game, and finish within 15 hours), and then COM.

Enjoy getting the Sigils.

I don't know what that means.

I got all the sigils in Days.

On Proud.

It's not that difficult.

well days doesnt have a trophy system so i mean

The sigils are used to fully upgrade the Celestial Weapons and they are an absolute pain to get.

The PS 3 version of Days is only cutscenes, so...it's not exactly relevant.

Anyway, nothing in Kingdom Hearts has been difficult to the point that I felt like giving up. It's always doable.

The specific trophy I mentioned, Virtually Impossible in Metal Gear Solid 2, requires you to complete all VR and Alternative missions. Such missions include the one that killed the trophy for me: kill or tranq 26 enemies with a sniper rifle before they can reach Meryl, in under three minutes. What makes this difficult is that they move at high speed, and MGS2 has terrible sniping controls. Basically, it's Fake Difficulty.

YOU KNOW WHAT ISNT DOABLE

FUCKIN YOUNG XEHANORT THE LITTLE SHIT

I didn't think they were that difficult. Not really.

I mean, I managed to get the harder ones by figuring out where and when to use my magic and items.

And planning, and practicing.

Thundaga works on most everything. It does a lot of damage, even when the status effect doesn't go off.

The more sigils you have, the more slots and stuff you unlock, the easier the game gets.

Even on Proud mode it was a breeze, mostly.

He's still a minor.

Fucking him isn't just difficult, it's illegal and immoral.

I have no frame of reference for that.

But frankly, I do find that this fandom in particular likes to exaggerate exactly how hard the games are. There are some really tough fights, yes. But with the right strategy, or even just brute force sometimes, they're all manageable.

After Sephiroth, I was prepared to spend a long time figuring out Unknown in Final Mix after the horror stories I heard. I beat him on the first try, because at max level with the Ultima Weapon, you don't even really have to think. You just hit him until you need to heal, and then hit him some more. I beat him on the first try, and quickly.

Is he a minor, though? I don't really know how old I'd place Young Xehanort, but age of consent in a lot of places is 16, which doesn't seem like an impossible age for him.

Of course, you might have to cross state or provincial lines for it to be legal, and doing that is a crime too. And he's massively evil, so yeah, just not a good idea all around.
