Kingdom Hearts

I mean, there's something weirdly satisfying about recovering MP by hitting things.

It makes me feel like an active participant in my own MP recovery.

Equally, KHII's system makes it so you're never entirely screwed and unable to get MP back.

I feel like. Combining the two. Is an obvious trick.

Its why I'm glad KH III is going back to that system, because the Command Deck system honestly gets really boring and slow after a while.

Though I blame all of these spinoffs being on handhelds instead of consoles because of the nightmarish development of Versus XII/ XV, Final Fantasy XIII and the horrid Launch of Final Fantasy XIV taking all the resources from the KH team to work on them to get them made, and thus, any gameplay improvements that could be made from II were instead watered down for handhelds, and only now are we getting enhancements on II's formula.

they should bring back the platforming with awkward jumping and camera angles

I think it was moreso due to the Osaka team taking the opportunity with the handheld games to experiment. Tai Yasue said as much himself.

I love II to death but the magic system could use some tweaks. Like maybe have MP Rage work during MP Recharge and not have Cure drain up literally all your MP.

Hitting things to get some MP back would also be nice. You already do that for the Drive Gauge.

Donald and Riku and. Other party members with a cure ability. Have it use 99MP instead of. All of it.

They start with 100MP, so. They can cast it twice in a row before MP charge kicks in, at full MP.

I sorta like that better? Almost all of it instead of literally all of it.

So it seems like we don't need to worry about KHIII being lacking in "resolution." That's a relief...

x2 I'd just prefer having Cure cost between 70 and 100 MP. Or something. Enough that you can't cast it more than twice before your MP is gone, but not so much that you can't do anything after a single cast.

What about the    D a r k n e s s    filter?

I prefer the Kh 1 Cure and BBS Cure, I want to press the X button to smash things and not have to worry about getting one shotted.

I mean, I do think making it so cure can't be spammed makes a degree of sense balance-wise.

I guess but it also needs to be reasonable so that your whole MP bar does ot get consumed..

Okay hang on

does hitting things while in MP Charge not make the bar fill faster? I always thought it did.

Nope. If you have the right ability, getting hit does, but the meter goes down at the same rate one way or the other if you're hitting or not hitting your foe.

The Final Boss of Kingdom Hearts III will be the size of a galaxy, and using the x Blade, you trans form into a planet size mech to fight it.

It would also have those hming lasers that the fights with Aso D and Xemnas liked to spam in their giant ship forms, the ones that track you and try to shoot at you, only they are the size of planets and a bunch of dead worlds end up being destroyed as collateral.

Considering that Nomura has wanted to do a final level of something like this since his days as a monster designer from Final Fantasy IV, it has to be something really special.

Going full on Getter Robo and Gurren Lagann on Xeanhort would be the best conclusion against that asshole.

I think a mix between 1 and 2's MP bars would be perfect. You can recover MP by hitting/getting hit/MP bubbles and if it gets depleted it recharges over time, which you can speed up by hitting/getting hit/MP bubbles. And Ethers/Elixirs.

Random question, but is there a general consensus on what the hardest boss in the entire series is?

I'm pretty sure the hardest boss is considered to be Lingering Will, but I've seen arguments for Riku-Ansem, Zodiac Aqua, and the Vanitas palette swap as well.

isn't there also no heart ?

Vanitas Remnant might be hiding behind BBS's terrible boss design and gameplay balancing, but he's still way too easy to cheese to be considered the hardest.

I just based things on how hard it is to take him on without cheesing.

It's BBS. You either cheese to bypass the bullshit or GTFO.

How about non bonus bosses? Which mandatory boss is the hardest in the entire series?

Xiggy and Roxas are pretty hard in II.

Terranort in BBS can suck it.

Days bosses are typically more annoying than hard.

xaldin in 2 is a pretty regular contender IIRC
