Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: neomang5 on 31 Jan 2006, 18:40
So, its about a month until this game is supposed to come out, and I am all kinds of excited.

I dont know if anyone else has been following it, but there is a new "drive" system that allows sora to fuse into different forms, 4 of which are revealed, and at least one that isnt, the new theme song is "Passion" by Utada Hikaru (a damn cool song imo), and you dont start off playing as Sora, but rather as Roxas, once known as the Blonde-Haired Kid.

Anyone else as excited as I am?

seriously. the hundred acre wood section of the original goes down as the best part of any game that i have ever played. if this game is as good as the last one, i'm literally taking time off work to play it.

The first game gave me tendinitis.  Seriously, it was so awesome that I didn't even notice the fact that I was mashing X over and over as fast as I could for hours at a time.  Now I can't play videogames.  :(

Good news, the fighting isnt just "hit x really fast, over and over," it has a new combo system where you can hit triangle and it will attack a specific (targeted) enemy, to kinda vary things a bit. It's also used for some cool boss fight scenes.

I preordered this, and am counting the days!

But seriously, I strangely, have Kingdom Hearts, but have never even played it, much less finished it. There was a used copy for like 5 bucks at my EB, so I figured why the hell not? But I never started it, partially out of embaressment playing a game full of Disney characters as a 17 year old male.

KINGDOMHEARTSII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111oneoneone

God, I am seriously going to geek out for this game.

Also, 2006? Great year for Square-Enix.

Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus
Kingdom Hearts II

I might just ejaculate all over Square-Enix HQ by the end of the year.

Oops sorry I didn't notice this thread down here. So could someone delete my thread on Kingdom Hearts please. Seriously through I'm 22 years old seeing Disney characters in the game make me all nostelic (Definitely haven't spelled that right) You will get over your uncomfortness and enjoy this wonderful game

Actually, I'm in the Mermaid world in the original, and to be honest, I'm not really impressed. I may get the sequel, but I'm honestly not too excited. I'd prefer them making another really good Final Fantasy, or some other more traditional RPG.

That is not a good level get through that one. The Nightmare world isn't that good either. One of the last levels Hollow Bastion is very good get to that level. Tons of baddies Frantic

Post by: neomang5 on 08 Mar 2006, 05:36
The Little Mermaid world was a constant disappointment. Not only was there shitty controls and slow movement, but there was also a severe lack of reason to the world.

Stick it out, Hollow Bastion and Neverland are SO worth it. Neverland (when you get to fly) is the way that Atlantica should have been.

And there's pirates.

I felt the same at first. But when you actually get into it, you will quickly forget this fact.
Also, old Disney cartoons still kick ass. Don't you forget that. :)

It is to be released precisely on my birthday..coincidence? I think not.

ZOMG ITS OUT

I bought the game, but unfortunately, cannot play it until the weekend

Once I do, opinions will be made!

Also: eeeeeeeeeee.

I would go get the game, but unfortunately for me, World of Warcraft has reclaimed it's grasp on my soul and isn't likely to let leave for awhile.  Patch 1.10 is awesome.  *cries*

I never did finish the first KH.  I think I stopped after I beat the Mermaid world, because I do remember fighting Ursula.  It was fun, but not as fun as, say, Tales of Symphonia, which I am still obsessed over to this day.

got the game on the 28th and man it's good and all but seems way easier than the first
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: valley_parade on 30 Mar 2006, 13:08
I just bought a GBA. Does anyone have KH: Chain of Memories?

KH was awesome, is this one worth getting or should I skip it and just get KH2?
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: neomang5 on 30 Mar 2006, 21:35
Chain of Memories was pretty fun. It's odd getting used to, but once you pick up the card system (which takes less time than you think) it's pretty simple.

Story-wise, KH2 is supposed to be completely separate from the events of CoM, but I already recognize a few characters from it, who are supposed to be major players in the new story. I guess they'll explain all the big stuff again

I'd recommend it, but it isnt necessary.

Post by: Qui Gon Zel on 07 Apr 2006, 10:56
All I can say is Sephiroth is a shithead on this game.

He's a bitch to defeat and I need to beat him to get the secret ending.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: I Am Not Amused on 11 Apr 2006, 02:09
Oh, man. Fighting Sephiroth is so FUN. I haven't even gotten him more than five bars down, but the challenge is a BLAST for me.

For the secret ending I need:

Twilight Town Poster challenge in under 30 seconds
Paradox Cerberus through Paradox Goddesses
"Final" Form Genie combo
Completion of Synthesis
Beating Sephiroth

Hoo. I've already got about 46 hours, will probably be about 80 before I finish synthesis. I can't find any shards at this point to save my life.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: Kimmi on 11 Apr 2006, 05:30
I'm lame. I don't even have 20 hours on the game and I'm only at Port Royal. I don't like the realism thing they've got goin' on in Port Royal. It's not cool, and it clashes with the other styles of the characters. I do, however, love the drive. It's fun to shoot things in Wisdom Form. =3

I want to fight Seph-y-rothhh. =|
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: neomang5 on 13 Apr 2006, 07:37
Unlocked Final Form last night, leveling it up so it actually lasts. Christ, does it fight like a dream.

My problem is finding the various Twilight and Dense shards, and the Orichalum+s. I have about 20 shards and gems (or stones for Dense), but nothing else. If i'm going to get Save the King and Save the Queen, I need these. Also, Ultima Weapon.

Surprisingly, I played the whole game up 'til i got Oblivion with the Kingdom Key. I just never felt compelled to change it. Kinda disappointing when you think that it means most of the Keyblades in this game kind of suck.

Edit: My playclock is at 45 hours. JSYK
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: Cartilage Head on 15 Apr 2006, 14:24
I have unlocked all forms and need only to level up Final. I am currently working on filling the journal..good god is it ever annoying..It would have been easier just to take on the game at hard.

Oh yeah,for those who do not know,you are able to unlock a secret part of the ending by completing certain tasks.
 -Clearing all of the worlds in Hard mode.
 -Clearing all of the worlds and filling Jiminy's journal in Normal mode.
 -You are unable to view it on easy mode.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: I Am Not Amused on 16 Apr 2006, 21:42
So, this is where I'm at in the game now.

Am in progress of:
Levelling up Valor, Wisdom and Master from 5 to 7
Levelling up Final from 3 to 7
Three recipes, and about 85% of the collect 30 shards, 25 stones and 20 gems of each thingy lists
Beating Paradox Cerberus with 1300+ points
Beating the other two Paradox tournaments at their respective point totals.

Everything else is done.

And I think I'd rather get the final ending this way. It feels as though I've done more.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: Cartilage Head on 17 Apr 2006, 13:28
Hmm..at what point do your other forms begin levelling up again? I thought that they stopped at five..damn.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: neomang5 on 18 Apr 2006, 05:41
It all depends on where in the game you are. If you only have Valor, Wisdom, and Master, it tops off at level 5. Once you unlock Final form (a random event, kind of like Nega-form, but there are a few requirements. You need at least 5 drive points when you change to become final form.)

The great thing about Final Form is that it is so easy to slaughter any enemy.

The horrible thing is you gain 1, and only 1 experience from each NOBODY that you defeat in Final Form. Bitch of a thing to level up. Still easier than Wisdom form though.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: Cartilage Head on 18 Apr 2006, 12:23
Well,I have Final Form..and my Valor,Wisdom,and Master forms are all at five..will they continue to level up now that I have Final?
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: I Am Not Amused on 18 Apr 2006, 18:27
They should, yes.

Also, Hades Paradox Battle at 15,000 points.

That's all I need to complete the journal. I am going to, hopefully, do so tonight.

Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllz yeah.
Title: Proud Mode
Post by: The Mighty Mopdecai on 20 Apr 2006, 07:49
Damn you Americans the game is not out here for another month but I do have a big hint that will help you guys out. Put the game on Proud Mode straight away that will unlock eveything includeing all the secret endings and stuff. I take it you know that already but I'm just saying it to you.
Title: Ooops
Post by: The Mighty Mopdecai on 20 Apr 2006, 07:52
I just read the thread properly so one of you gus mentioned hard mode so is it called Hard mode or Proud Mode anyway put it on that mode.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: neomang5 on 20 Apr 2006, 08:57
You really should begin on hard. It's not for the unlocks, but because it's such an easy game on normal. Were I not already almost done, I'd start again on hard.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: twentyfour on 20 Apr 2006, 10:04
Normal is easy??? Aw crap.... I suck at video games now.

I finished the game today. AND got the secrete ending!

Gamer *You did it on beginer it does not matter*

Neko *Valor form/ Final form*
Guardian and oblivian keyblades and level 76

Gamer * Ahhhh!* Runs away to mother's basement


I hated Atlantica.... It was TOO EASY it made my eyes sting...
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: Sarcasmorator on 20 Apr 2006, 19:46
Heh. "Secrete ending." Ew heheh ew.

I love this game so far, though I thought at the beginning that you actually had to earn 2000 money in increments of 50 or less to progress, and I was going to kill again until I stumbled across the train area and the plot started moving again. Phew. I would not have been happy at killing bees and smashing junk for two hours.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: The Neko on 21 Apr 2006, 18:47
you only needed like 800 cause no matter *Ansem* takes it and it is only 5000 in the munny pouch... I just hate that I couldn't spend it...

I dunno. Normal mode is way too easy, but hard mode is a bit too hard. I started in hard and got as far as mUlan before I got to a battle that caused me to die three times before I gave up and started normal, where I'm halfway through and haven't died once. There ought to be a mode in the middle.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: I Am Not Amused on 21 Apr 2006, 23:52
So, I beat it in said night of my previous post with the secret ending.

Also, while Normal Mode is kind of easy just going straight through, the optional battles, particularily Sephiroth and Cloud/Tifa/Yuffie/Squall in the Hades tournament are fucking amazing hard but still so much fun and very satisfying when you beat them.

Also, secret ending: GEEKING OUT>>>>>
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: neomang5 on 25 Apr 2006, 08:20
I beat the game just to see how it ends, fuck the secret ending for now.

0_0

THE FINAL BATTLE IS EPIC. NO JOKE. The forms were much better thought out and exacuted in this game than in the original. Also, reaction command usage was top-notch.

if you were a fan of the story, you WILL NOT be disappointed. The ending was awesome in so many ways, and has a tear-jerker finale. Though it makes you wonder where KH3 is supposed to come from.

Post by: vampire duck on 27 Apr 2006, 03:34
Should I be ashamed of myself for planning to beat the game as fast as I can and then watch the secret ending once it shows up on Google Video?  That's what I did with the first game (as fast as I can being 6 months on and off).
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: Cartilage Head on 29 May 2006, 18:42
Okay..I feel like a complete silly,but I must ask for some tips.

 The only things that I have left to complete for the journal are some of the Coliseum missions.

 What I need help with is Phil's Training.

 I find it hilarious that I defeated Sephiroth but cannot complete this mission.

 Would somebody please tell me how they got 1,000 points in Manic Mode?
Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: I Am Not Amused on 29 May 2006, 19:01
Hmmm. I almost don't remember how I did that. I fooled around with various things that I could do and found something that was really easy. Maybe final form or Peter Pan summon? Also, as many negative combos/removing as many combo pluses as possible. Mess around with whatever you can do, there's something that makes it pretty easy.
Title: Kingdom Hearts II

Title: Kingdom Hearts II
Post by: Cartilage Head on 05 Jun 2006, 21:15
The thing that worked the best was completely removing all attacks and only using the Explosion ability..but it still wouldn't get me 1,000..Hmm....
