ON GUARDIAN!
It's just a little frustrating that nobody fucking stays dead in KH. It makes the fights feel meaningless.

ON GUARDIAN!
KH2 has the best boss fights. The KH1.
And just btw, always talking about KH2FM+
Never refering to vanilla.

Sure, in general, but KH1 Ansem is still a better fight than KH2 Xemnas. They're both equally drawn-out final boss sequences, but KH2's final Xemnas battle is way, way too heavily scripted.

I actually liked those scripted sequences though.
I wouldn't want them in every boss fight, but I felt the choreography was well done.

Please don't tell me this is a thing now.
I wouldn't expect a figurine included as a pre-order bonus to be very high quality (unless they did it in the form of a more expensive collectors edition), but something like a random formation arts figurine would have been neat.
On the topic of soundtracks I wonder if they'll do a 1.5 OST release.
It is. Just when you thought after DDD Nomura couldn't drag the series story even further down this happens.
I'd link to the site that translated the quote but it hosts scans.

Oh Nomura you stupid man.
I hope Padington-sempai is working hard on the OT. Less than a week till that should go live! >
And as I said before I bet the 1.5 and 2.5 remixed OST gets released as one kinda like they did with BBSFM+Re:Coded+Days.

Oh, it's almost releasing! :O
I was trying to plat KH1, but I haven't turned my PS3 on in about 3 weeks. dat FFXIV.

Next week should be OT time. KH HD releases sept. 10 in the US and 13 in EU.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Super excited! I've only played the original KH and that was when it was released. I remember really liking it (especially the graphics and music) so this will be very interesting. Shit, it's been such a long time! It'll be like playing it for the first time.

The press got copies of the game a while ago AFAIK so it has been around.
Will watch tho :lol.
Especially with all the Final Mix+HD ReMix additions! Well while I certainly have played the original game way too often :lol. High time to put the old (crappy ;-
original PAL copy to rest. He has served me well over the years *salute*I've been trying to platinum Re:CoM (prettymuch just need to finish up two playthroughs for Sora and Riku now) but I don't have the motivation to. I suppose if the trophy lists are shared then it'll be easier to get around to it.
That would be great. I've already got the full OST of 1/Re:CoM/2 along with Birth By Sleep Final Mix + Re:coded + Days so a 1.5 and 2.5 complication OST would go nice with my collection.
You're in for a treat! I replayed it after not doing so for years not long ago and that feeling I felt for the first time when playing it came back, it's a really fun adventure to go through.
I was hoping the Days Dub/Translation would be better, but I get the feeling it's going to be worse based on this.
While KH3 will undoubtedly have far fewer post-game/super bosses than KH2 FM, I'm hoping that in addition to the new Sephiroth fight, they add another super boss:
Gilgamesh really does seem like such a solid fit for the series, I'm surprised that it hasn't happened yet. KH DDD's superboss was a step down from what KH normally offers.
Oh, and fingers crossed for Disney worlds that don't feel completely lifeless. I'm guessing that it was due to hardware limitations that they ended being shallow post-KH2.

I could see Gilgamesh being a fun superboss, but let's hope you're wrong and KH3 still has plenty of optional boss fights.

Apparently any trophies you got with the japan version will be transferred to the western version.
I guess that means they didn't ''fix'' the difficulty trophies stacking either. Oh well.
Hooray! Now I can finally platinum Re:CoM!
That's a shame about the difficulty stacking though. As I said before I don't mind it in the original Kingdom Hearts due to it requiring two playthroughs to get some of the trophys anyway (unless you can do a proud run with basic equipment in under 15 hours, if someone out there can props to them) but with Re:CoM they should stack, it's not needed at all.

So my first playthrough of KH1 HD will probably be a 100% run so I'll get most of the trophies. Take shield/discard sword seems like the way to go since I'll get Lucky Strike early. Would there be any benefit to discarding the staff?

I still think ''Icecream thread'' is funni
If you need avatars I have a bunch.
Edit: of course if you want to do a consistent joke with previous threads then ''Sora is everyone in HD''

Hahaha those are both great.
Yeah Avatars would be awesome
EDIT
oes anyone know if it is 1080p? Is it 30 or 60 FPS?

Have they shown the artbook yet? I know we've seen concepts of it, but I'd like to see the real thing. Is it even hardback?

EDIT
The game doesn't render in 1080p and it's only 30fps.
Which is a shame because I think they could have easily made it to render 1080p30 and 720p60

You are missing the most important! New gummi blocks, new gummi blueprints and gummi missions! :3
Tho maybe all the balance changes are lil too deep for the OT? Final Mix changes should totally be in the OP imo tho.
Also isn't Combo Master allowing continuing combo if you don't hit the enemy? At least that is how it was in KH2.

Yeah, the balance changes aren't really necessary, I just copied and pasted from the list I had already. The extra content should definitely be highlighted, though.
I... may or may not have gotten bored a few months back and compiled a list of the the regional changes between KH games. >___>

Not even going to lie, the extra Gummi Ship missions completely slipped my mind. That should probably be added in, too.

How could you forget the new Gummi Wheel block!
HOW?
Anyhoo it's tuesday already over ere. Where is the OT Paddington? Where is the OT dude?
Where is it?
Edit: seriously tho: one more thing I noticed about your list. It's missing the new cutscenes in FM.

Yeah. It's practically the best balanced endgame keyblade that isn't Ultima Weapon.

The 4th command slot being a summon slot isn't really a change.
Today I learned that the summon slot was originally the 4th slot in the Beta Kingdom Hearts.

I know it's not 1080p native, but I do believe it supports 1080p upscaled with a good form of AA. Looks not jagged at all and really crisp on my 1080p/i TV.HEDIT
I'm not too knowledgeable on tecnincal stuff regarding resolutions though so I probably didn't get that right.
I've seen that beta trailer so many times and never noticed he that, good find. Still though, it was moved from the original game so it is a change that would be worth mentioning in the OT OP
I'd love to hear more plot details for the original story of Kingdom Hearts one day, it looked very interesting.

Gummi missions are making me not platinum this game. Screw them.
It's like you have this amazing cake, and the UW ends up being just the cherry, because the cake was damn good already.
I sometimes wonder why you would even need the UW when you have the Rose. At its status of non special keyblade, it's kinda broken.

I'd rather do all that, then try an beat the game under 15 hours. I don't like speed type trophies. I don't play games like that, no matter how many times I've played it.
