Kingdom Hearts

In 0.2's Critical mode Aqua loses Leaf Bracer, Second Chance, Once More, and, worst of all, Combo Master.

Aqua's combos aren't actually that great? But you don't notice because Combo Master makes it so the combo keeps going even if you don't hit anything.

Which you will find is actually pretty often.

Also, 0.2's Critical reduces Aqua's max MP like KHIIFM's did, but it's more of a problem in 0.2 because of how damn important magic is to Aqua being able to do anything of value damage-wise.

What was nice and interesting in 2's Critical Mode is that it gave you a lot of abilities out of the gate. And even BBS gave you two extra slots in the command deck, so you could use more commands at once and level up more commands simultaneously. What you lose in terms of HP and raw damage you make up for in terms of techniques at your disposal.

Oh, seriously? That's like, the opposite of what made KHII's Critical mode fun. Think I might give it a pass.

I never noticed FM+ reduced your MP though.

I mean, what Critical Mode technically does is affect how much MP you get from Get Bonuses. And HP. Cuts it in half.

On Standard Sora's max MP is 140, on Critical it's 120.

The first game is the one that did the world-saving plot focus the best so far, the lore at the time was not as complex as it is now so there was a lot more mystery and wonder to the proceedings and things generally weren't as difficult to understand. This allowed for a bit more focus on the characters and telling a simple but effective story, so after Co M and Days I would put KH 1's plot as the best for being fairly well-rounded and having good focus.

x5I would argue that BBS still hit pretty high on those. Most of the worlds tied themselves into the character's own personal journeys rather than simply retelling the movie's plot.

I can see that.

IIFM Crit's lower MP isn't too noticeable because you already get good mileage out of the starting amount, plus the upgrades are so sparse that you probably won't even realize when it gets upgraded.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Fragmenting each world into three parts did each ones story no favors.

English 2.5 on PS4 fixed the Xemnas I crash. So there's that.

Specifically there was a thing where the game could crash if you were in Limit Form and did the reaction command where you ran up the skyscraper. But only in the English version of 2.5. And only in the story fight.

Funny thing is, according to people who jailbroke their PS 3's and downloaded 2.5 onto the harddrive, that crash wasn't a thing. So it might just be that the PS 4 requires every game to be installed on the harddrive.

2.5 apparently might have lag pauses if you don't run it on a PS4 Pro.

Also, the RC in Lilliput is still broken in English.

I don't think any PS 2 game should lag at all at any point on any version of PS 4 hardware especially when installed directly to the harddrive as opposed to reading off the blu-ray disc drive.

Zebra Xemnas RC still fucked? Made the Data fight super annoying.

bizkit047 is playing unpatched English right now and he's only in Agrabah 1, so I dunno. Though I think the answer is "still fucked".

Don't know if this has been reported yet, but save crashing still exists in the patched version.

Happy 15th anniversary!

Game is "flawless" in latest reports. Still updating.

Sounds like it turned out great.

So the last patch fixed everything?

Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.

Only for PS 4 Pro. Apparently.

Does this include physics?

Just got my copy today! Limited Edition with the pin (that'll soon be going on my bag)!

That sucks! I've only got the original PS 4 and I'm hesitant to play as long as the save crash is a thing.

I forgot to mention, the details in 0.2 about fixing the minor plothole with Mickey's clothing and them providing yet another excuse for Sora's Bag of Spilling (and his nonchalant "Eh, whatever. Happens all the time.") were hilarious.

Final Xemnas still drops the reaction command.

The Save Crash still exists. It's random, and somewhat rare, but if you save every time you see a save point you'll probably get it at least once. Near as anyone can tell.

Currently: 85% of stuff is fixed, 5% is fixed on Pro and is being looked at for normal PS 4, and the other 10% is the save crash which still exists but happens less(and they hope to fix it fully in the next patch), random bugs and physics glitches and Final Xemnas RC which is something that went from happening rarely on PS 2>Often on PS 3>All the time on PS 4. They hope to get a solution for it that kills it at long last in the 2nd patch post EU launch but it's proving hard to kill.

This is just KH 2 since the other games are working pretty much flawlessy now aside from a few sound bugs.

They just did a stream.
