Re: The Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Thread XD

Heres my guide...

look at Jimmeny's Journal, it tells you everything about the worlds you need to know XD. Also right before the final boss, the entire journal is opened and everything you havent done or activated becomes a ?????

Also, since i've noticed my LS members missing this, each form is lvled differently.
Valor-1 exp for 1 hit to a mob (any mob)
Wisdom-1 exp for defeating 1 Heartless (doesnt matter lvl of Heartless and Sora has to be the one to do it. Goofy or World-specific party members dont count)
Master-1 exp for a small drive ball, 3 exp for a large one
Final-1 exp for defeating 1 Nobody (lvl of Nobody doesnt matter)
Anit-cant lvl it.


I havent worked on the cups yet. Been working on leveling Sora as well as Final Form.

^_^ I am happy. I FINALLY defeated Sephiroth. He was a pain, but he fell to the might of the Ultima Keyblade! And I only used one Elixer....and lvl 70

Re: The Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Thread XD

Ending was kickass, as was the Secret Movie. The people in the movie strangely resemble the person who was stationary during the final fight. There, speculation, no spoilers

I definately loved the story in KH2. The bulk of it played out in the last level, but there were snippets, especially during the second running through all the worlds.

The graphics in Port Royal were totally googtastic ( check my Roomate's blog for a definition on Googtastic ) and the Final Final Boss fight was probably the best final boss fight in history. Best usage of Reaction commands.

Like in mid-air when you're dodging and they're teleporting. That's just an awsome thing to do. Oh, and the lasers. That part was friggin hawt.

Sephiroth is a dirty old man. I can get him down to halfway before I slip up and I get angel haloed ;; I'm 87 atm, and according to my recent beating of the game, only 92% complete.

While the game can be beat in 20 hours (no lie), a LARGE portion of it is Jimmy's Journal. My friend beat it at lvl 5 and just broke 19 hours -.- but I think he wasn't anywhere near my percentile of completion.

Oh, and raising Forms so that in normal mode you can take advantage of the abilities is fun.

I noticed a "glitch" with Glide, and I'll try to explain it. Jump into mid air and hold down Square. You'll levitate over the ground. I found out that if you're on a flat surface, you'll never touch the floor, and can fly all around. But once you try to fly UP an incline, that's when you'll Land. Best area to Test this out is that crag where you fight the 1000 Heartless.

Also, since the way the last level is designed, I start at the top since I can Glide to the bottom and save myself half the time leveling up. (I can get 1.5-2 levels each run through the last level)

Just some nuances I noticed I love this game.

Edit:
Fully Leveled Final Form, subbing Oathkeeper with Form booster is overpowered. In the last level, I can run from top-to-bottom, and only hit 0 on my gauge when I'm at the save point after the main entrance. (the one with the mog in the room before the snipers)

Re: The Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Thread XD

Once you defeat Sephiroth, you unlock more tournaments.

Glad I started out on Proud mode! Didn't have to complete the journal for the bonus video. XD

Glad I started on proud too. Not so much for that cause I intend to complete it all 100%. But because all my friends comment on how it's pretty easy with the exception of a couple fights. On proud, it's not so tough either I guess, but you can't get lazy lol. Regular mobs will wreck your HP bar if you get lazy and let them get a few hits in. I havn't played normal mode but I guess that's the difference, how poorly you take hate. Don't think AI would change much.

Re: The Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Thread XD

Yeah, unfortunately Proud mode seemed to be equivalent to Normal mode in the first game. However, there were still some surprisingly tough battles. (Xaldin!!!!)

[WishMaster3K]

Re: The Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Thread XD

I thought I was the only one to struggle with that. Then I realized I was the only one of my friends to not play on Normal. GDI that fight sucked.

OH! Another thing I learned: In thost fights where you have to beat them with a combo, cause they're stuck at a sliverof health, just finish them off with a spell, lol. It works :D

Three fairies mirrors - does it effect your playthrough?

Before you change your clothes you can look at 6 different mirrors (or maybe it was 5.) These mirrors put thoughts into your head. One could be of the ultimate keyblade or learning all skills. Does this affect your game in anyway? Say for instance, if you allow strenght to fill your mind, does your hits do more damage or you get more strength ups per level? This has been on the back of my mind since i got past that part (i chose the ultimate keyblade.)

Re: The Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Thread XD

I'm not sure, but it may just give aspirations to what is possible. My friend said that he read the sign stating that he'd become a heartless, but loaded the game again beforehand, opting to NOT read it.

Yet, he still turned into the Anti-Form. And there is a rumor that Anti-Form NEVER happens when going into Final Form. To date, it never has to me. But I haven't used my drives in sooooooo long. (I maxed them all out, and now, Sora is already damned strong by himself)

Also, I think that when fighting the organization, it's almost guaranteed that you'll Anti if you try Driving. Happened when I was fighting that sniper guy and in Beasts Castle against that monster in the Ballroom. Any other examples of this happening to ppl?

Normally, I have Glide, Dash, High Jump and Aerial Dodge, all level 3, so I have no point to go into Drive unless I want to clear a room and finish my exp grind session faster.

Update:
Beat Sephiroth. Using Ultima and Fenrir on Final is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO unnecessary. I almost wish there were enemies strong enough for me to take advantage of it.

I still haven't unlocked the last two Paradox cups ._. What are the SPECIFIC requirements? So far, what I'm missing is a few missions and minigames from the journal. I have all treasures and maps and I'm lvl 96. wth is going on ._.

Re: The Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Thread XD

HEhe. I guess anti-form is that heartless looking form right? I got that form when i was in beasts castle the first time on my first playthough ( i started over on proud at the colussium after reading this topic.) I thought it was strange yet cool since i didnt know what it was but it was straight powerfull. I even came to the conclusion that it was becuase i had beast in my party instead of donald since anti-form was attacking like how beast would. Hahaha, since then i kept world characters out of my party =p. In any case, what causes anti form? and how did you find out about it? is it revealed later on in the story or did ijust miss something along the way. (note i didnt get past the colussium on my first run before i restarted on proud.)

From what I know, Anti-Form is a "punishment" for abusing Valor, Wisdom and Master form. Its a hidden form for Sora, but unlike Final Form, you cant use it on command after you accidently get it. The more you use Valor, Wisdom and Master the greater the chance you will get Anti-Form. The only way to lower your chance of getting it is to A) Get turned into Anti Form B) Use Final Form. Story wise, the only mention of it is in Yen-sid's Tower. One of the cloth covered things says "You feel the power of your Darkness filling your body."

EDIT: Also forgot to add that Noruma said in a Famitsu interview that "Story-wise" Anti form is there because Sora became a Heartless in KH1.

Also: Paradox cups unlocked as follows (couldnt figure it out for the life of me as well)
Pain&Panic: Automatic
Cerberus: All Drive Forms to lvl 5
Titan: Summon to lvl 5
Hades: All Drives and Summon to lvl 7

(Btw Paradox Hades Cup is brutal at lvl 94 o.o. Sucks when your fighting Cloud and Tifa runs up behind you and busts out Final Heaven )

Ultima Weapon is my main. Fenrir is subed in Valor, Oblivian in Master, and Oathkeeper in Final (Form bootx3 ftw while in Final Form; can nearly clear a zone just as Sora in lvl 7 Final for with 2 equiped Form Boosts and Oathkeeper subed)
