>>738270201>Kefka from Temu
The only bullshit part is that you have to go get all 101 Dalmatians for Aeroga because you can't dodge shit when you're in peter pan mode.Excuse me sorry I mean CUM GUARDIAN
>>738270187HAHAHAHAHAHAHAThis unlocked memories omg
>>738270349is that actually how you get itgay t. op
>>738270201If you need advice, outside of his ult, his ranged attacks can't hit the broad side of the barn so feel free to fuck off to heal.
>equip goofy with mp gift>equip goofy with get mp qhen taking damage > have goofy take damage then have donald heal it then have goofy get healed by Donald >unlimited mp now do strike raid or spam fire ball
>>738270059You just mash two buttons retard
>>738270349You don't understand we had to make it so that Guard button you've been using all game does fucking nothing for 3/4ths of the final boss.Thank you for your understanding.
still not as bad as the minigame bosses of KH2
>>738270518goofy isn't in the fight i'm stuck at
>>738270059>fly away when he's attacking>fly back when he's not>attack>repeat
>>738269797One who knows nothing can understand nothing. This is called a idiot loop.
>>738270601the lasers have 100% uptime in phase 2
>>738270059I beat this shit when I was 12 anonUse your fucking Drive form
>>738270725so did i, but i think i must have cheated because i'm way better at games now and im getting raped
>>738270725that's in kh2 dummy
>>738270725>use your drive form>drives weren't in KH1But I agree, git gud.>>738270201It's a shame that made Sora's outfit worse with each iteration. Love his iconic KH1 look.
>>738270792That's a common situation, Younger you would have grinded more, took the unga bunga sword and unga bungad with ultima weapon or the the other bullshit broken late game weapon depending on version.Ship Ansem is shockingly weak to unga bunga as you can just damage boost your way through his health bar with a boatload of parries.
>>738270725>Use your fucking Drive form
>>738269797>>738270792Presumably you are on the highest difficulty on Final Mix, which is harder than the highest difficulty in vanilla. That's why it's harder.
>>738269986IMPRISONING ME
>>738270692>One who knows nothing can understand nothingThis is a very nice statement. Do you ACTUALLY know nothing?
>>738270572The solo fight is the easiest part of the last bossSpam strike raid
>>738270201This nigga is really the male version of Ultimecia.
The final boss in KH2 was kino and fun. You want to talk about 12 phases. Xemnas literally has like 6-7 phases, but each one has its own mechanics, and none of them are really hard.
>>738270349Aerora is equally good here as there's no auto-deflectable projectiles.
>YOU HAVE TO USE THIS SPELL AND THIS SPELL COMBO>HAVE YOU TRIED SUMMONING THIS INTO THAT?>TRY THIS BUILD AND GOOFY SKILL WITH DONALD SKILL AND THEN SPAM THIS SPELL>YOU CAN BUY THIS ITEM HEREIm not doing that I'm just hitting it with my strongest keyblade and dogding until he's dead.
>>738276483Strike raid is just throwing your key blade it's not a combo you retarded secondary
>>738276483You're the reason the series stopped being an ARPG and wound up a series of mediocre action games.I miss when party members mattered.
>>738269797Billy Zane was SO much better than Richard Epcar. Every time I heard Richard's voice, I was disappointed that it wasn't Billy.
I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT KINGDOM HEARTS IS
>>738269797Unless you're doing this at level 1 on Critical this shit is brain dead easy. Leaf bracer and cure makes it a no-brainer. Even the other bosses are easy. Just spam Elixir's and Strike raid.
>>738278163
>>738270303It took me 25 years to realize he's doing the Kefka
>>738269797>12 phases Its fucking kino
>>738270303Always felt more like Neo Exdeath to me
>>738279938I didn't notice either...
>>738274035Strike Raid is the best limit break because it fucking interrupts everything from the other side of the planet
>>738269797I'm playing through them now and forgot how fucking sweaty it is at times. Not difficult but the first one sure fucking loved making you backtrack over and over and just fighting six waves every room. Perfect when I was 12 and it first came out but now I just feel like I'm being padded. On the flipside it's actually nice to do all the extra shit I never did the first time like the dumbass gummi missions, christ you can become overpowered there. Semi looking forward to all the stupid "side" games. It'll be nice to actually escape the "I don't know the story I just played kingdom hearts 1&2 meme.
Why does Nomura love final boss gauntlets so much? Almost all of the games he's heavily involved in has them.
>>738280276because they're the coolest way to end a game and he knows it
>>738280235Oh, anon. If you're enjoying the extra shit, I implore you to get all achievements for BBS.You'll get all the extra shit you'll ever want.
>>738280235I just wish we went back to worlds that felt more appropriately sized. I hate seeing tiny ass treasure chests in the middle of a huge empty spaces. feels like the designers messed up on the scale somewhere.
>>738280276>Dream Drop Distance>Sora fights Xenmas>at the same time Riku fights Anti-Black Coat Nightmare>next Riku also has to fight Ansem Seeker of Darkness with two phases>Also Riku has to fight Young Xehanort>then Riku has to fight Sora inside of Nightmare Ventus' armorwtf was he thinking?
>>738280124Significantly less people have played V
>>738270546>that Guard button you've been usingwhat Kingdom Hearts did you play where people actually used Guard?
>>738280802The one where you play on the hardest difficult at level 1
>>738280802Guarding leaves you in a better position most times and counterattack ability is always strong, dodging's for bitches
>>738269797Just summon Tinkerbell and win.
>KINGDOM HEARTS fill me with the power of jewish banking!>No! I know now, without a doubt, that kingdom hearts... IS WHITE.
>>738269986What does darkness smell like?
>>738281210cocoa butter
kingdom hearts was promised to me 3000 years ago
>>738281002ah yeas my favorite "Kingdom Hearts" (read Kingdom Hearts 1) encounter... Kingdom Hearts 2 postgame superboss.
>there are people that did not play all the kh games at the highest difficulty it unironicaly pays off in the long run literally the only way to enjoy the series
>>738281396the first game is fun on any difficulty, shame the rest of the series didn't try that.
>>738281346its still true for 1, the only better than guarding is parrying with divine rose
>>738281396kh2 hardest difficulty is genuinely awful. if youre not playing the FM remake youre unironically better off playing normal mode.
>>738281210foul
>>738280802Are you the kind of person that struggled against Riku?
>>738281002too bad that boss has almost 0 counterattack frame its like current elden dogshit bosses doing infinite anime aoe combos
>>738282145no, the only bosses i remember giving me trouble were the Chameleon and Captain Hook. And i wouldn't call either a "struggle" just something i died a few times to.
kingdom farts
>>738281396>KH2>Critical makes normal enemies hard and bosses trivial>Switch to Proud and everything's too easy
final fantasy end bosses are always bullshit and make the entire game end on a sour note
>>738269986FUCK YO COUCH
>>738287743
>>738269797The only hard part is the "1v1", a faq back when I was a kid said the "last boss" (meaning the whole end of the world/ship part) was the easiest, and he was right
Wasn't he voiced by Billy Zane? And then they dropped him in every future game?Then they did it with Leonard Nimoy. He was great in BBS and they just didn't bring him back.
>>738269797it took me something like a year and a half to beat him when I was a kid
>>738290228Nobody knows the real reason why Billy was replaced. As for Nimoy, he voiced Master Xehanort up to DDD. But unfortunately he passed away before KH3 so they had to recast with Rutger Hauer.
>>738287743>>738288505>"My man got too familiar and I ended up having to whip his ass man, you know, cause you know, he would step across the line. Habitually. He's a habitual line stepper."
>>738290228Nimoy fucking died, dumbass.
>>738290228Nimoy was in DDD then he fucking died
>>738281210A garbage can you dumped chicken in a week ago.
I have never legitimately fought Dragon Maleficent. I always just summon Tinkerbell and unga bunga facetank everything.
>>738269797I only played KH once when it originally came outthen i got the remaster and remember how awful a time I had against this nigger I ground my ass for 10-15 extra hours to get myself 30 levels higher than the recommended amount so I could dunk on his retarded assI still couldn't beat that nigger sephiroth at level 80+ though
>>738290613Nah, I member her fight being BS in Proud mode.Even the Roxas fight had actual skill involved.
>>738269986DARKNESS WITHIN DARKNESS
>>738290409>Rutger HauerWho sucked. And then also died before he could reprise the role for the DLC.Don't remember who the third one was but I think he's still kicking.
I don't know if I was underleveled or dumb, but I remember in KH1 Shadow Sora beat my ass a lot, seemed very spontaneous and did an ungodly amount of damage.
>>738290613I used to when i was dumb kid, picking sword in the dream every time and just unga bunga, she was always a fuckin wall
>>738293236his moveset is basically popping up and sucker punching you, so he can kick your ass pretty quick, the room's a pain too.
>>738269797And I beat it every time I wanted to see that kick ass ending again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvAZfi0iH9A
>>738293236Before you get second chance, 1 on a high difficulty had a lot of random 1 shots.
>we told him the darkness was gonna destroy everything and the mad lad he actually fucking split himself in threes
>>738293236That fight sucks. The area you’re in makes movement difficult and he keeps warping around.
>>738280802Guard in KH is notoriously broken if you know how to actually use it. Takes a LOT of stress off when short of certain fuckyou boss attacks you can block almost everything in these games. But BBS started the habit of dodge spam, and by KH3 you get shot at from off screen so much and the super/bonus bosses love counter-guards that people sorta forgot how powerful it is. This is very much a counter-react series besides certain games where Command Deck abuse was encouraged instead.
>>738270695That phase is genuine bullshit. They designed it poorly. It shines through on level 1 (though you can technically STILL beat it damageless after an hour). You actually just have to tank the lasers and keep attacking until his health reaches 0. They never intended for hardcore sweat play on that fight for some reason. It was pure spectacle.
>>738270059There’s a specific angle you can fly to the side at and the lasers won’t hit you, almost perfectly perpendicular to the camera but just a smidgen inward. Play around until you find it. Then, you want to circle away from the boss but close enough that when the lasers stop for the 3 or 4 seconds in between bombardments you can swoop in for a hit or two. This is how you beat him on Proud without being overleveled. Slow and steady, don’t take risks. Find the pattern and you’ll get it
Anger and hate are supreme…
>>738295443>YOU SHALL GO TOGETHERRIKUOUTTA MY WAYHAIt's pretty much customary to activate Session at the start of the fight.
>>738294886>But BBS started the habit of dodge spamBBS literally has the best block in the frachise with Renewal Barrier. A fully covered, 360 degree shield that heals you when attacked (refreshing SC/OM on top). Renewal Block is arguably more useful since Terra doesn't get the benefit of infinite i-frames like Aqua, but really all that amounts to is it still the second best in the series.It's only really the superbosses that require you to hard dodge spam. Looking at you, MF.
>>738295685Unfortunately most people that discuss KH balance nowadays only ever seem to care about the superbosses.
>>738270059Yeah, it's shit.
>>738281717Critical is great, L1 Crit is ranges from super fun to annoying as fuck
never beat kh1 until recently, but kh2 i beat as a kid numerous times.This proves the true baby game was kh2 all along.
>>738294305>5:04Kino, never gets old
>>738270201>this fucking form at level 1Fucking hate those lasers.
>>738274087two of them are the exact same except without donald and goofy the second time
>>738298145>lvl1man i've been stuck on the final room before ansem for 6 years, i can't get that last attack with simba for some reason
Kingdom Hearts... Can you please give me some Darkness? I was a good boy.
>>738269797A few of those phases like the face in the front or the blob when you lower the shields, hell the fucking Darkside rematch too, barely feel like boss fights. Same goes for all the mob fights save for maybe the room of Invisible heartless. Then on top of that there are two normal Ansem and two big Ansem encounters. It's cool and all, but it does go on too long.
>>738298315I think I went with a method I saw on Regular Pat's video guide for level 1 and my successful attempt had my Simba summoned with perfect timing and spacing. Can't even describe how I did it, but I remember I was stuck getting that segment just right for a couple hours.
>>738297945>>738294305>I know you will!>song startsFucking every time, puts a damn tear in my eyes and I'm a god damn 36 year old man.>>738269797Thankfully none of it is very hard besides the solo vs cum guardian segment.But man is the whole ship part just tedious. Having to do it a second time without changing equipment at all for a trophy just made it feel even more of a slog.
>>738269797Y'know, the reveal in KH3 that everything was just Xehanort playing 4D chess and that everything was essentially set up for Sora to get to the point he got to kinda ruins everything. Seeing as Ansem and Xemnas were in on it from the get go.
>>738270201The "big boss you fly at" thing they did for KH1 was really just terrible. Terrible for ursula, terrible here, and basically non-functional for chernobog where your ideal tactic is to just get stuck on their "head" and hit until they use the devcope tactic to blast you back. That and the number of bosses that have a "Fuck you standing where you were or running, thunder time" that is actually easily dodged but only if you abandon the attack and it's actually less costly to just take the hit and use the attacks to cure yourself anyway.
>>738273276ALL THAT I SEE
>kh difficulty discussioni've come to smear the final hallway in cavern of rememberance on critical aka suck the rotting fart out of my asshole nomura
>>738269797Ansem's final form really feels like one of those times where the devs didn't even know what they were doing any more (complete with random normal enemy gauntlets for no reason) and there is no real "intended" way to beat him you just sort of hope you don't get hit and mash. This applies in general to all the flying bosses in KH except phantom kinda because it has a special gimmick.All the phases of normal human Ansem with the guardian are actually really good then final Ansem just feels so random and thrown together including his appearance which is a wacky boat for some reason that I bet Nomura had plans to explain but just forgot about or something.
>>738300329I don't know whose idea the laser spam was, but that move never felt like it worked as intended. Also one of those bullshit things that just lasts way too long.
>>738300329Almost certainly was just channeling Neo-Exdeath+Final Ultimecia or something.
>>738269797Are you guys seriously struggling to beat a boss fight I did when I was a kid?
>>738300653Basically final Ansem (AKA world of chaos) is a FF final boss in appearance but they didn't take into consideration enough how that would actually translate to an action game.They focused too much on the spectacle instead of making it fun.This is obviously why for basically all the final bosses going forward it's just a normal guy.
>>738301129>muh salesGod it must be exhausting being you
>>738270059Aeroga and cure spam. it is dumb but it is by far the easiest way to deal with it.
>>738281210Probably like something burnt.
>>738301129>Anyway, who else thinks Kingdom Hearts is a dying series? This series has truly lost a lot of popularity and worse it failed to keep itself popular with new younger generations of gamers. Its up there with series like Metal Gear which lost all its relevance, Modern dev times are fucking disastrous for maintaining fanbases and staying in the public consciousness.>Pre-HD days>A kid could get a Mega Man or Final Fantasy game nearly every year, getting constant dopamine hits. You could get an entire trilogy of something in one console generation, plus spinoff titles.>Now>A kid could go through their entire school life MAYBE getting a sequel to that game they really like.You need to be delivering more than once a decade. This is why kids have turned to Roblox and Fortnite and other shit like that. Quality aside, those games have constant, frequent updates. It's also why Resident Evil is one of the few still healthy IPs out there like that other Anon said, because they still manage to release new games at a decent pace.
>>738301208That's just yanderefag. He thinks Kingdom Hearts isn't failing unless Nomura gives into his demands by turning Sora into his KH1 Atlantica form for him to rape which is why he discusses it a lot. He makes Stellafag look sane.
>>738301316>muh brand health>muh sales>muh profits>all for a company you have absolutely no relation to beyond "consumer"why
>>738301936>his demands by turning Sora into his KH1 Atlantica form for him to rapeWat.
>>738269797Only difficult part is the 1st phase of World of Chaos.
>>738302020He's making up bullshit for the sake of a derailing a thread. You know the usual behavior for this board. You have to understand that fanboys are shit for brains. As you noticed he totally believes there's nothing wrong with the way Nomura and his minions are handling Kingdom Hearts. I sincerely hope KH4 takes much longer to make and that its awful so that it fails to sell.For those wondering it's not a lack of shitty handheld games what killed Kingdom Hearts, its that each sequel got shittier and shittier. Notice how for example the game series Devil May Cry made its fans wait many years for the fifth entry to be released and once it did it sold wonderful because it was a good game. Kingdom Hearts doesn't have that. Kingdom Hearts has a dearth of quality. Kingdom Hearts get shittier and with each trash release each new game ensures Kingdom Hearts gains a reputation for being bad as such less hype and less goodwill. Kingdom Hearts deserves to fail. Anyone who thinks KH4 will sell equally as good as KH3 is a retarded fanboy.
The hardest part of this game was when Captain Hook would do frame 1 attacks.
>>738302145>I sincerely hope KH4 takes much longer to make and that its awful so that it fails to sell.I'd kill myself if I had so little going on in my life that a video game failing would bring me joy. I hate to quote reddit but go touch some grass you absolute fucking loser.
>>738301905>t's also why Resident Evil is one of the few still healthy IPs out there like that other Anon said, because they still manage to release new games at a decent pace.Its not merely this. Resident Evil has certain additional advantages Kingdom Hearts does not. The general idea of Resident Evil is normie friendly, human dude grabs guns to shoot monsters. And being an M rated series makes the series be a draw with all age groups. Disney Fan Fiction? That's not going to attract many people. Disney's brand power is quite weak especially in the gaming industry see the bad sales of Epic Mickey because that game only selling one million units is embarrassing.Resident Evil also is extremely easy to get into as the games are semi stand alone. There is continuity but its not as detailed and ever convoluted continuous like how Kingdom Hearts is. The worst crime to Resident Evil's story is pretending the main villain was good, the worst crime Kingdom Heart's story did was pretending the main villain is good while everything else is also shitty like reviving dead characters or time traveling around.Resident Evil is simply way too easy to enjoy. Kingdom Hearts is not and worse Kingdom Hearts demands you take it seriously which is why young gamers who think Disney is cringe don't get attached to this series. Its really not a shocker no one celebrates Kingdom Hearts anymore and its seen as lame.
Was Kingdom Hearts 3 even good because I really hated every game after 2. I didn't play DDD because BBS was bad.
>>738302329Not really. If you liked superbosses in these games, almost all of them (and thus the actual good ones) were DLC, though that just comes with the game naturally now. If you liked KH2 you'll probably hate KH3 because it's made by the same devs since BBS and they still didn't really grasp how to make encounters, bosses and player mechanics all that fun. The world designs have more to them than the handheld games but that's not saying a lot. And the story is probably one of the worst "EPIC CONCLUSIONS" I have ever seen a long-running story attempt on itself, an absolute wet far in the same year that Avengers Endgame did the opposite, regardless of one's feelings on MCU crap.
>>738302329no it was fucking terrible and I'll never forgive NomuraI don't give a shit about Versus XIII he deserved getting his project assraped
>>738302265There is nothing wrong with enjoying seeing companies failing especially since companies aren't your friends. Wouldn't be the first time Square Enix has inspired its fans to wish them failure Chrono Trigger fans blatantly hated Chrono Cross for example and that was before Kingdom Hearts existed.Its always nice to hear that companies fail and employees are fired or demoted but its always good to hear they get fired and blacklisted so their careers truly die. But if it makes you feel better, don't worry the success of normie cattle shit like Mario Galaxy's movie shows that humans are stupid and will buy anything. The success of most Disney Live Action movies shows how stupid humans are. So your precious Kingdom Hearts series may not be dead yet, there will always be stupid humans who buy shit because they have shit in their brains. You truly can't blame the rich bastards who own civilization and humanity in real life for being the way they are, I sincerely hope they use their wealth to make life worse for mankind deserves it.
>>738298465I miss him
>>738300986You had armored xemnas in kh2
>>738290630For me it was Kurt xisa. Boss used to piss me off. Made me want to find the guy they named it after. I HAD to get the ultimate weapon and after that long slog no boss ever gave me trouble again. Sephiroth was unironically a boss that I just accepted that he would always hit me and I'd have a small window to heal and rinse and repeat. The easiest of the superbosses was that clock one
>>738302431I'll never understand how we went from the KH2 final boss to the KH3 final boss. I still remember exactly how much I seethed during that last fight for how straight up fucking lame it was, especially hearing Rage Awakened shoehorned into the song in the most lazy way possible. Honestly I could've forgiven a lot of the bullshit if they were at least able to figure out how to get Shimomura on for the whole soundtrack. I hear the one normal boss track she did and always get sad because it already sounds so fucking iconic on its own and then you hear the other normal boss tracks and it sounds like they yankdd midis off vgmusic and slapped free VSTs over them.KH3 is seriously fascinating in how fucking botched it is. I couldn't even stay focused on Xehanort in this post, I immediately digressed to the music. I haven't touched it in 7 years and I could still probably ramble endlessly about all the specific shit it fucks up, which sucks because there's still parts I love, like the Pixar worlds and even the gummi ship sections of all things just because I'm an Einhanderfag and fighting the Schwarzgeist with Thermosphere in the background was some Christmas morning level shit for me. Like why even call back to Einhander of all games yet they did it anyway? That shit blew my fucking mind.Like I kinda don't even wanna call it just bad because I don't feel like that doesn't quite describe what's really happening with it. If prior games and especially KH2 were unbridled autism, KH3 is a full blown schizophrenic meltdown. A bizarre mixture of what-could've-beens and fucking-whats.At least we got Davy Jones shooting Jack out of it. Still the funniest shit.
sexz with Aqua
>>738302145>>738302297>>738302431>>738302546holy shit it IS yanderefag hahahahow does it feel knowing that other namefag-aligned faggots are all aware of your shotacon rapist tendencies you scaly fuck
>>738303669Honestly my biggest problems with KH3 besides the godawful story and lackluster music largely boiled down to the finale being so damn weak, how we chump most of the villains like it's nothing except Kairi's arbitrary murder that gets surprisingly shrugged off after the pointless shock value, and the goddamn boss fights. You don't really notice it in older KH games how the patterns work 'til superbosses or Critical Mode, because they mix things up and do a variety of basic attacks between their big moves. But 3? Every boss is the exact same shit from beginning to end: handful of basic attacks, escalate to a desperation phase that regularly makes the bosses unapproachable, rinse and repeat every couple minutes. It was like playing some of the weaker FF14 bosses extended for far too long without the second half of the fights getting bigger than they were before.It took until fucking final Xehanort to actually do that gradual escalation shit, and it still largely boiled down to the exact same rules.
>>738304197https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzipTmFOStgThis carries the soundtrack by itself, but also Don't Think Twice is great.
>>738302329BBS is literally the best game in the series3 is ass though

>>738269797Should've been 13.
>>738310093That one and the first Riku fight inside Hollow Bastion's main atrium walled the fuck out of me when I first played the game
>>738310093>IT I>ANSEM>THE SEEKER OF DARKNESSlittle me was really shitty at vidyaended up waiting for AND finishing KH2 before finally beating Riku
>>738310989If any of the other cancelled actors' stories from the same time frame are anything to go off of, he got molested by some creepy old studio executive, wasn't cool with it, and got quietly blacklisted for not being cool it.
>>738291147The third is Christopher Lloyd, of Back to the Future fame. Rutger Hauer was a great actor that just didn't really fit Xehanort especially with the Nimoy baggage, but Lloyd does amazing, plays him like he was born to do it and always has. Hopefully he dodges the curse for whatever scenes he'll show up in for 4.
>>738310093That fight was hard as balls holy shit. I couldn't beat him until I went back and grinded enough to unlock Ars Arcanum
>>738299662I don't remember what took me more attempts, the very first guard armor on proud or that section you mention. Was fucked, when I thought surely it was close to being finished the waves of nobodies kept coming. Not sure I would have beaten it without limit form get out of jail for free.
>>738310093The fact that this shit was unskippable on the original version makes this even worse.
>>738270725Someone's memories got scrambled in Castle Oblivion
>>738281210I don't know but apparently Riku can canonically smell darkness
>>738310093Kairi's inside me?
>>738312324Riku fucking loves smelling people for some reason.
