Yeah, you pretty much have to avoid as many regular battles as possible for any sort of challenge.
EDIT: I appreciated the challenging parts of Sora's story, but sometimes grinding away for money or certain cards was just too tedious.

Wouldn't be hard if I ever get to play those since Nietzsche is the philosopher I've read the most of.
That also applies to Vanilla KH by and large anyway.
I concur, FFXIII-mind numbing level.
Was randomly watching some Re:CoM Cutscenes.
It doesn't bother me too much, but I wonder if the extra time for localization has anything to do with more lip-syncing.
Unless I'm mistaken, KH1 was lipsynced, (although there are a lot of scenes that use 'fish-lips'). Re:CoM doesn't actually use the fish-lips all too often, but it's not English lip synced. (well, in the voiced scenes)
If only.
EDIT: Not sure how well this would work out hypothetically. Some of the lines are slightly awkward due to VAs attempting to match the lip movements there. They could animate to match the already in place English voices, but the delivery obviously would be the same.

Tempted to import, but not sure if I will since the game's coming out in September.
Hmm...

Still wish they'd add New Game+ to this too. I'm pumped as hell, though (and seriously curious about Dodge Roll and access to magic in those Destiny Islands battles).

And yeah, I'm seriously pumped for Reverse/Rebirth. Playing with Riku's aggressive style is always a blast.
No.
That and can I finally get to enjoy the game at 60hz, (30 fps and no borders while playing) it's going to be great!I bet you they will just to troll us
He flirts too much with the Darkness. ;-;
Same here, I'd love to get it before Monday.
That was me refering to how the original PAL release was 50hz only and locked at 25fps and how this release will at least be 30fps. (because that's how it was intended to be played originally and it's no longer a outputting issue we suffer from with HD games in the PAL region, minus virtual console/PSN classics) I don't actually know whether it will be locked at 30fps or 60fps.

Kagari, please let us know ASAP if there are still transparency problems with some spell effects (especially in Chan of Memories, which looked like it had much worse issues in that early trailer).
Also, let us know whether you actually do somehow gain access to magic early in the game.

You know, they should at least let us save after beating the Final Boss. In the original KH you had to reset the game after the ending scenes.
I remember beating the final boss and being like "wow, 20,000 exp!", and then you have to load your save before the point of no return. :|

I figured the extra skills in that video were just for demo purposes. (It'd be kind of boring to have nothing but the basic attack command in a demo)
New Game+ in KH1FM would be great, especially if it let you carry over abilities. It'd circumvent the issue with potential Level 1 runs too, in regards to essential abilities like Guard.

If we're really, really lucky, they'll add Kurt Zisa and Xemnas to the Coliseum so we can re-fight them (and have the assorted super-bosses drop Defense Up, Attack Up, or AP Up). It bugs me that those two are way more interesting than the Ice Titan, and arguably more interesting than Sephiroth, but you only get to fight them the once. Heck, I'd love to be able to fight Riku 2 again, too.
Keeping your customized Gummi Ship would be sweet, though. Make the lead up to finally unlocking the Warp Gummi a lot more tolerable.
I'd want it to carry over Keyblades, accessories, and abilities learned via leveling, but none of the abilities learned via story progress or Dalmatian progress. (So you'd need to get all of the magic and all of the special attacks back).

That would be great. It's a shame that boss re-fights only recently started becoming a thing in the series.
That seems pretty fair.

I might be wrong here but I'm pretty sure one reason why they didn't lipsynch was because all the cutscenes in re:CoM were pre-recorded video or something for some reason. You can see this while playing with emulator, cutscenes scale very badly to high resolutions compared to actual gameplay unlike KH1 or 2. But with HD they would need to redo them anyway so we might get lipsynch. It just is so weird why they would do something like that with the cutscenes in original Re:CoM. I must be wrong here :/
Example: Here are Re:CoM and KH2FM running on same settings (resolution)

I'm not exactly sure why Re:CoM's cutscenes were pre-rendered, but I always figured that they didn't really see it as an issue at first because they probably didn't intend on ever releasing it internationally during development.
I'll let you know~
Blizzard is fine.

I just remembered reading this thread of the White Mushroom bastards...
I don't want to have to go through that again...

You mean getting them to show up? Usually they seem to appear relatively often for me, with the exception of the ones in Atlantica. Damn those guys.
They won't appear all that much in this, don't feel too bad about not juggling them as often then.

I almost always got the White Mushrooms to spawn in the camp area of Deep Jungle.
And I always went to Neverland for Rare Truffle spawns.

I thought ReCOM had pretty poor gameplay and the Disney worlds were awful, but I did enjoy the stuff that happened in the inbetween floors since it had voice acting and org members.
I'm also worried about that platinum trophy...

Love the cover art and disc art, hope that stays intact. Do you have to totally go to the xbm if you want to switch games? I hate that on these HD collections, they can't add some sort of quit to title game select screen. This only has 2 games, so its not much of an issue, but still.
I don't think so.
Clear the game without changing the... keyblade once? Also seems to have difficulty trophies too.

simple and beautiful.
The Japanese version has Japanese voice acting.
I didn't expect 358/2 to have trophies. So, is it pretty much watch cutscenes and profit?
And English VA too.

does apply just for KHFM, I think.

Anyone know where I can find the Japanese cover art to use for my desktop wallpaper? Don't think there is a big size for that, but figured I'd ask again.
There is... I think a few pages back in this very thread.

Thanks, but that image is really huge. It either doesn't fit, has black bars on both sides or its really stretched looking. Of course my resolution is 1680x1050
Can you edit it in a photo editing program? If not I can do it for you later today.
