Kingdom Hearts

Thankfully I have other games to play and finish before I get to these games again. I'll probably stick to the two movies and get the stuff for watching them until then

Last I heard Sephiroth still has physics issues in KH 1.

I sorta like how the only game that's port is technically flawless is Re:Com.

Aside from sounds dropping, I guess maybe.

One of Vexen's sleights comes out faster, but that's not really a huge issue because of how combat in Re:CoM is designed.

...Why does everything only seem to affect Vexen?

A feud over sharing fruit with a girl ends when two children lose mortal form.

Vexen's power in the remake of II involves manipulating data. Clearly he is the mastermind behind this buggy port.

Pandora Gear seems to be better than Zero Gear for Roxas...

It also looks pretty cool. If only Days got a proper HD remaster we could see the Days weapons in their full glory.

Days was the one I really wanted a proper remake of.

I still long for a KH game that melds the Days, coded and II gameplay systems so we can have customizable MP-based Commands.

Would also prefer Stat Matrix to the Panel system.

So I've been playing IIFM recently on Crit and got really far. I actually pulled off some speedrun strats (get rekt, Roxas) and I'm in TWTNW severely underleveled. The journey, while bumpy and fraught with deaths, has progressed nicely.

Then I get to fucking Xigbar.

Oh my god this is the worst. The speedrun strat requires very precise timing on top of keeping track of like 5 different things at once and good reflexes. And I can't causal it out because he DMs and destroys me.

I'm so close to the end, but I can't get over this hurdle.

Went in without Once More and Second Chance? If so, I can understand the pain. I screwed up picking my initial stats and ended up going into the final world without those abilities, which meant I had to play Final Xemnas PERFECTLY.

I have Once More. It's in the spreedrun route since you grab the Shield.

No Second Chance, though.

spooky port is spooky

So this save crash is actually worse than all the ones reported up to now.

If I'd known about the speedrun strat for Roxas it would've saved me a lot of pain. He was the only story boss that really gave me trouble, so I just ended up Limit Form cheesing it. Man, that heal-from-Limits ability with MP Rage is abusable as hell.

That is a very French chuckle.

Xigbar killed me so many times when I first did Kingdom Hearts II.

And Demyx. And Xaldin. ESPECIALLY Xaldin.

The remaining guys were pretty easy, though.

if you go back a few dozen pages you can see my live reaction to dealing with xigbar for the first time

it's a dumb, dumb fight. it wouldn't be bad if the fight was at least consistent.

I don't know if the strat for the Data fight is the only possibility (I took it from a Bizkit video), but if it is, that's dumb as shit.

Xigbar is one of those fights that I thought was easy when I played the original as a kid that completely kicked my butt when I played II.5. Dragon Maleficent from KHI was also like that. Meanwhile, the two who I had a massive amount of trouble at the time (Keyblade Riku and CoM Dragon Maleficent) I completely wasted with no effort.

For some reason Riku-Ansem was the biggest goddamn thorn in my side ever. Maybe it was the Staff path and lack of Counterguard, but seriously. Hardest story boss ever for me.

I remember having a lot of trouble with boss fights in I because I dropped the shield, so I'd always die in like three hits max.

I'm not doing that again.
