It's a little shorter than the other ''full fledged'' KH games but it's not a short game, 20+ hours or so. That combined with 0.2 I think there is enough gameplay there to keep you busy for a while. The other question is if DDD is worth the full price. If you are a KH fan, then I would probably say yes even if I'm not the biggest fan of that game.

I just finished Back Cover (even doe I was supposed to do it after 0.2 lol). It was... ok I guess. Few interesting things, looks neat. Still not ''paced'' as a proper movie doe (nor does it feel like a coherent narrative or standalone in any way). Not as dissapointed as some seem to be but I don't really know what they were expecting.

I do appreciate that between Final Fantasy XV and now Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Square seems to be adopting auto-saves for their main titles now. I think the only other (non port) release from them I know of that supported that out the gate was XIII-2?

I'd like more games to offer manual-save-anywhere feature. Auto-save is okay as a backup option.

This one worked amazingly, considering the Undefeated trophy.

When you die, you can now load an autosave from right before those battles and it doesn't invalidate that trophy like continue and retry does. You can still manually save and whatnot, but it's a fantastic addition imo.

If you post in this thread complaining about the numbering and naming of the Kingdom Hearts games, he will come for you in your sleep and drag you to the realm of darkness and shovelware models.

Does it keep auto-saves and manual-saves separate so players can load whichever?

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I wish 0.2 had a platinum. Never even platinumed a KH game coz I don't want to do repeats. :p

Guys I haven't been following this much but can I walk into best buy, target or gamestop tomorrow to pick up the LE? Or is LE the only version?

The Limited Edition version is basically just the normal version that includes the pin. There will probably be a limited amount. SE might have shipped a couple extra copies of the LE. You can certainly try your luck. But outside of the pin and a different cover. There's nothing else special about the Limited Edition.

so i'm clearly missing something with the shotlock ability. you hold r1 to target, then hit x to fire...then you have to hit x again and aim it at the target or what?

Press X when the contracting circle lines up with the one in the middle for extra follow ups. Wait too long, and it'll fail. Time it right for extra damage.

Okay, the super shadow wave boss I thought would be pretty lame from the trailers (same boss again on a short demo? C'mon son) but it's actually probably visually the best looking fight in the entire series.

Beat the 0.2 secret boss on critical after ~3 hours of consecutive attempts. Fight is really difficult, but fair, and feels like a KH2FM boss on steroids. Puts to rest a lot of my fears re: Osaka team working on KH3.

Dude, the unique command style animation was so sick.

EDIT: Very nifty how they use the colouring of the environment to signal uninterruptible attacks.

Just did the part where Sora promises to visit the gang in Shibuya. They better fulfil that promise in KH3, even if it means making it a district in say San Fransokyo.

Ray Chase as the Master of Masters is the best VA performance in the history of the series.

Only competition is Billy Zayne Ansem and Leonard Nimoy Xehanort.

I remember the biggest BS was trying to beat the Mysterious Figure in BBS on Critical with Terra. I remember spending like 7-8 hours on it.

I never beat it.

Glad to hear that it is seemingly better.

KAIRI AND LEA TRAINED BY MOTHERFUCKIN MERLIN
:DDDDDD

Donald proves yet again to be the best character. I gotta say if that last cutscene is what to expect of KH3 I am way more confident in it than I was before.

Where do I find the secret boss of 0.2 btw?

The second world. You need to collect all 12 zodiacs (they are spread around all the worlds inside the treasure chests)

Oh god, don't even get me started on doing that as Terra - fight sucked as Aqua and Ven too with their bullshit invincibility frames.

The 0.2 secret boss has a clear revenge value, certain attacks that you can negate via parry, etc. There is so much more to do than just HOLY FUCK SPAM DODGE OH GOD I HOPE HE RANDOMLY DOESN'T KILL ME ANYWAY (Or in the case of Terra).

I'm honestly blown away at how good the performance (He was great as Noctis, too) and the character is. Easily one of the most enjoyable characters to grace the series.

Not sure if the promotion is still running but Best Buy is teaming up with Visa. If you use Visa checkout and purchase $100 worth of stuff, you get $25 off. There's a thread on this already. A lot of people have been pre-ordering tons of games because of that and GCU.

Even if the Visa promotion is over, you should sign up for Best Buy Gamer Club Unlocked. Instant 20% off of the price.

I got KH 2.8 for $38 cause of Visa Promo + GCU. Picking it up tomorrow.

I finished Re:coded tonight so I'm finally fully ready to get into this. Honestly, it was a pretty fun game to say the least. People that call it crap must have fucking high standards when it comes to games because I had a lot of fun with it. Not the best in the series but nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. Plus Hollow Bastion was full of nice moments and that always brings me joy.

Few questions about DDD HD:

1. Is the framerate stable 60? Standard PS4.
2. Have the Balloon commands been rebalanced at all? They really borked the original game at parts.
3. Does the game play better now that the camera seems to be considerably pulled back from the 3DS version?

1. Playing on Pro, but haven't noticed any drops.
2. Can't definitively answer this, but don't think so.
3. Oh my god yes. I rushed through DDD on 3DS because I couldn't stand how infuriatingly close the camera was. Way more pleasant to play now.
