HGezz, I know. Blame it on the uber lateness of the Europe release date. Anyway, my first impressions are the opening FMV is extremely amazing. although it might not have the same catcht 'Simple & Clean' remix, I am quite fond of this new song. Must download it later X_X
-> I thought the parts with Roxas were a bit too long, and then when you finished it, you felt it wasn't enough, if that makes sense. (At this point I'd like to confess my undying love for Olette).
I found all the starting characters very funny, except for Vivi, with whom I ADORED in FF9, but with shabby voice acting, I grow to despise. They should have gone with a more raspy voice. Also, Seifier didn't have a big enough part, for being a villain, he should have had more of an important role.
Hallow Bastien has completely changed. like, wtf!? I like the new layout, but they sold out the level. They should have either kept Traverse town, or created a new level, instead of merging the two, and keeping the uncooler name. Meh, I suppose its ok, for now.
Which reminds me. Make me kill the voice actor for Aerith! I cringe anytime I hear her dull voice! "Oh look, I am on fire...and still retain the same voice..oh joy...." Yuuck >_> Yuffie still is the apple of my eye ^_^
Battle system so far is not complex. I find it very easy, if not a little too easy. But I suppose it is just the right amount for some intresting game-play. the reverse command adds to the unqiue nature, and the Drive is amazing. Weilding 2 keyblades is so much fun ^_^
I am currently at Beast's Castle, and just at the first save point. Overal, i give it high marks, though we might have been more happy had Mickey talked! Axel btw has changed my opinion on him. I thought at first he'd be very usesless, but he does seem interesting....Meh, not played enough of it. Clocked in around 5 HRs so far...
Wish me luck! I should have been studying for Othello play test tomorrow1
Adieu!

About Roxas, its a good story about him, but I also felt that we should know more about him. We got a lot of story of Namine in KH:CoM, but we lack Roxas story. From where he was "born". I'l will avoid spolers since I'm done with the game this fast.
Vivis voice where a lot better in jap, same actor as Pikachu there :D

Dont forget that it is the homeworld of many FF characters. How would they live without a town?
When you're done you should find the secret ending to KH3.
It - Is - Awesome!!
But when will we ever see Soras Mother??! We have heard her voice once in KH1

Due to some obessed friends who got the game when it first came out, I know the general gist of where the game is going. It doesn't take a genius also to get the clues they leave in the dialouge.
"With the five-six of us, we can stop the heartless..."
I have actually not played CoM >_> Though know of its storyline and all of the characters involved. Namine Ifound was a little, baby-ish? I don't want to spoil it either for other new-comers to the game, but since she is a 'Nobody', I thought she'd look and sound a bit more adult.

No, she should stay young. That way Roxas and Namine will be the child version of Sora and Kairi while they grow up.
IMO, Riku luks like a slub now. Hanging around with his arms and back, can't stand strait up. It annoys me. He was way cooler in the first game.

It does! And that my Opinion. I dont have anything else to complain about in life so I bash Riku instead :cunning:

I like new riku. mainly because i don't have to fight him in destiny island at level 3 and deal with his cheating counter attacks. Oh and showing your belly button is supposed to get the ladies. I haven't tried it though, all about the happy trail.

Day 2:-
Well, following my other experience, this was like no other. I loved todays venture, and I'll probably go play it after this net session.
---
Funnily enough I picked Beast's Castle before Mulan. (Stupid me forgot about the level...etc) though in my personal opinion, it was the best choie. Not only was it more fun and a challange, it made Mulan so easy it sort of was a dodil.
--
Beasts' Castle was superb, in that alot of te fun characters from the film made an appearance. what made me a little sad at the lvel was its actual appeal. The Castle was very nicely tailored, but it would have been nice to have access to maybe the grounds, or a balcony? It doesn't get the feeling of a 'world' in my opinion.
Also, I found the boss a tad bit easy as well. Although mickey had to come and resuce me, lol, With a few simple Drvies I could beat him easily. X_X; nice level, enjoyed it alot, and it didn't suck as I had predicted with the characters.
Ugh, Mulan was a bit annoying. The moral boost was a hard thing to mind, being that you couldn't keep the bloody thing up! I tried around 2 times before I finished most of the level. Like I said before, picking Beast's Castle was well worth my time, as the last boss was so simple. A simple drive, followed by a limit with Mulan killed him and his petty bird in no time.
>_> God I've finished already? Well, I clocked off and saved at Hollow Bastien. I'm now at 7.53 mins I think?
- More as played.

What level did you pick? Easy is way to easy. I choose medium, but I will try proud mode when I replay it. My sister is bored to death when she's playing it now.

I found most of the bosses in KH2 easy, even on proud mode. There were two in particular you'd better watch for: Xaldin and Xigbar. The only ones that were a major pain in the ass.

Xaldin is hard, but u usally get saved by mickey everytime:lol:, so i wouldnt he isnt too bad

Mickey saved my ass twice vs Xaldin :D I went antiform twice too. But then I understands the "learn" command :P And I was this close to die a third time :D

Day 3;-
I think I'm making good time? I'm clocked in at 10 hours and I've completed so far;-
Mulan, Beast, Holow Bastion, Timless River, Disney Castle, Underworld/Collisuem, and I've ventured into Atlanica only to find I need the Magnet magic X_X; Wonder where that is lol? >_>
Anyway, my views still are increasing. I think they all have nice little uinque features in all. >_> I liked the Timeless River level, but I think the levels are getting a little too short now, and I don't like that aspect. All of them can be completed in a standard record of time.
Btw, I forgot to mention this before, but the new Gummi Ship system is uber cool! I hated the oringal one, seriously, the worst mini-game system ever! But this one is...dare I say it....actually kind of fun....
Also, I don't know why, but since the game progress', I find it impossible to understand Donald??? I mean, i know its funny, but after a while...I rely totally on the subtitles, and even on some instances, it doesn't show up1
On side note, did anyone else notice this 'glitch'? where if you sometimes finish a boss in Valor form, you are in your actual Valor form in the Sotryline sequence, but Goofy is there also. X+x;

oh thats not a glitch, and it doesnt happen just with valor if ur in any of the fourms when u finish a battle, ull stay in them during the next cutscene. Its actually a little trick called "costume change":P

I didn't meana glitch, just thought it funny that Goffy re-appears when you are in Valol form.

Well the levels are short because you end up making several trips to the world. But yes they are shorter then the first game.

Well I think its rather funny that Sora can absorb his friends:huh:
Took a short test with a bad speedrun. It took me exactly 1:00 Hour to play with Sora after Roxas on proud mode and 800 job munny. Thats a long time.:blink:
