Ansem(Xehanort) I assume

>>344512064

>>344511931
Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
>>344510570

>>344512870
Ansem the Wise was the old guy with white hair who lived in Radiant Garden and had several apprentices.
Xehanort's Heartless stole his name after he was banished to the Realm of Darkness. Xemnas is an anagram of Ansem.

Protip: Tons of ether, Curaga, drive gauge refills, and Final Form.
>>344515451
that shit was easy, what're you on about
>>344514862SHOOT FOR THE BUTTHOLE SORA
>>344515451
You got a really cool looking keyblade though.Which is pretty much useles.
>>344515406
It's gonna probably be a mix of floaty and more KH2-like gameplay.
So sadly the end game will probably be not as good as KH2FM's.
What difficult bosses have you beaten legitimately without being overpowered or using cheap tactics?
I beat Demyx on my first or second try, fuck Xaldin though.

It's the best way to force Final form and has good stats to boot.

all of them
not sure what overpowered means in this case either
>>344515716
>xemnas on critical mode
>>344515812
>It's the best way to force Final form
This is pretty much its only merit. But after getting final form I immediately got rid of that shit. Who would want a constant 50% risk of going Anti-Form?
>>344515817
Being level fifty when the boss can be beaten at level thirty. Grinding too hard.
>>344515706
Already beat all the Org members, and Terra LS in CM quite some time ago, fuck YX in BBS though, I'd sooner play BBS with no dodge roll abuse than try to fight him again
>>344515706
You mean data battles?
I've beaten Larxene, Demyx, Lexeus, and Marluxia.
>>344515949
But anti form isnt bad?
>>344515949
People who like a bit of spice? All you gotta do is remove it if you're approaching a fight where anti-form's a liability.
>>344515960
every boss can be beaten at level 1
like, is level 99 over leveled for the data fights? Terra?
>>344516004
>no magic
>no healing

When you're trying to go Final Form, but Anti-Form shows up instead and drains away all your drive gauge, then yes its bad.

Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (Xehanort's Heartless)
Young Xehanort
Master Xehanort
Terra-Xehanort (Terranort)
Xemnas

Those are the words of someone who has never played Critical, and learned just how wonderful magic, and being able to guard is
>>344514940

Xehanort,Xehanort,Xehanort,Xehanort, and last but not least, Xehanort

>>344516146
>handicapping yourself on purpose
Tryhard.
>>344516214
Honestly, I'd rather have the final mix content as DLC as opposed to an entirely new version that doesn't see a release in the west for almost ten fucking years.
>>344514940
From left to right: Ansem, Seeker of Darkness; Young Xehanort; Master Xehanort; Xehanort in Terra's body; Xemnas.
>>344515275
Really study his movements before he hits an attack. This will really help you dodge/block them in future attempts. Getting hit with that Attack/Magic block really fucks you up.
>>344516337
Ive only played kh1 and kh2
I played on the hardest but never beta the final dude in kh1
Gimme a break
>>344516154
Only for Marluxia since 99 hits is way too easy to beat him with, for all the rest you'll still die like a bitch no matter your level if you don't know how to fight them
Being 99 still is a huge benefit though, if only because you'd have Second Chance and Once More by then
>>344514816
Wha
>>344516436
It wasn't meant to be that much of a jab, it's just an honest truth that once you get to play KH2.5 or plain FM on Critical it forces you to learn how all the combos, and skills you have work if you want to get further and further into the game
>>344516438
Well then, everyone in 2 except Axel I guess, I just looped him because I get nervous with the fire floor.
>>344516387
Is there a problem? Do you think people who do lvl 1 Critical playthroughs are tryhards too?
>>344516382
Sora and Kairi are the same age, Riku is one year older than them.
Sora is 15 in KH2. And I believe he'll be 16 for 3.
>>344516568
Fair enough. Im probabky not gonna play any other kh. Maybe 3 if it turns out alright, but I only played cause I had no other games

>>344516671
It is, there is no goddamn way someone could beat that fuck with just the keyblade alone, hell I can't imagine beating him with plain Sora, I fucking need Wisdom (Final works too, but uses too much Drive) for the water clones

>3 seconds left

>mfw
>>344516793
I disagree, I found my lvl 1 Critical playthrough fun the whole way through. Teaches you a lot of shit.
>>344512265
So many fucking Xehanorts
Do you think we'll still have Drives in KH3? It would blow if they remove it because Sora gets new clothes.
>>344516848
Kek
>>344517027
Well the whole reason he had drives was because of his clothes. Unless he has the three fairies work their magic again.
>>344516815
>I can't imagine beating him with plain Sora,
I did it with plain Sora at level 53 or something at finishing at like the very last second.
Was almost certain I was going to fail and just trudging on for the hell of it.
That fucking feel though when I noticed I made it; maximum hype
In my level 1 game, give me some tips on beating Data Larxene, Xigbar, and Xemnas. And Terra. They're all I have left. I think I can theoretically beat Larxene, but when I stopped playing, I was getting some hard luck. Haven't really tried the others much.
>>344516987
Just wait until KH3. There's going to be 13 of them if all goes according to Xehanort's plan.
>>344516947
Hm. Massive pleb detected. Did you try a critical mode lvl 1 no save run? Didn't think so. Don't ever show your face around here again.
>>344517171
Reflect.
>>344517215
I see what you're doing, but it's not very funny.
>>344517171
Have no idea but I can tell you I legitimately fear Larxene without my limit form
>>344517113
That's why I'm worried.
What if we had the option to change clothes for powers? Like DD and KH2 powers can be used based on the outfit.
>>344517113
Is it true they got rid of summons for KH3 and instead you summon Disney rides or something like that?
Like how does that work? Can Sora summon Space Mountain and just start riding a roller coaster off the tracks and smash through Heartless?
>>344517215
No save probably wouldn't be much harder because you'd only have to keep your system on at all times.
>>344517145
Regular or Data Demyx? Because there's just too little time for the latter for Reg Sora's standing in place Firaga to beat all those bastards, though you still deserve kudos with the former since them clones are a pain either way
>>344512265
Who isn't Xehanort in one way or another at this point?
>>344517285
Limit was great in my regular run, but I can get punished too hard if I try and use it, and its benefits don't outweigh having Stitch on the field.
>>344517394
People that are Sora
>>344517394
Kairi!

Not too sure. I don't think they're out, but it does seem like they have been replaced with those ride based ones instead.
>>344517394
Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea. As well as a raft of secondary characters.
>>344516648
>mfw when replaying KH after JOJO

>>344517465
Sora should start his own Organization XIII made of Soras and people who share his heart or something.
>>344517480
>Bizkit
Now that you mentioned him, I remember some guy, maybe him, beating Terra LS LV1 using only guard, and maybe dodge roll, with all other movement abilities locked, no magic and so forth, too bad I forgot to save that video to my bookmarks, shit was cool
>>344516648
What happened to his face?
>>344517680
Yeah he's crazy like that. I can barely beat Lingering Will even with maxed stats and best keyblade.
>>344517285
>larxene without limit form
>not just equipping fenrir, unequipping all combo pluses and using well-timed reflects+combo finishers to beat her
>>344512871
But the best skills in 3D are literally Curaga and the Balloon line, there's absolutely no reason to use anything else unless you feel like wasting slots for attacks that are somehow weaker despite taking up two slots and being a pain to make. Not to mention you would have at least tried Balloon since it's a brand new type of spell introduced in DDD and seen how disgustingly broken -ra and -ga are.
>>344517835
He's squinting. It's hard to see with all thisDARKNESSsurrounding you.
>>344512871
Do you mean the secret bosses or just the ones you posted?
I had absolutely no problem against Lingering Spirit but still haven't finished the other one
>>344517643
Can't happen, Sora's heart is a hotel that other hearts stay in while Xehanort's heart crashes on other peoples' heart couches and refuses to leave.
>>344517680
Is it this one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQtb8nUlJ6s
>>344517983
Dodge for 2+ minutes, hit a Thunder Surge, Cure, repeat.
>>344515275
My first time fighting him was around level 60 and his first move in that battle was his fucking magic cannon
>>344518196
That one is easy to guard though. And it has the added benefit of being knocked right back into him.
>>344518016
Nah, the one I was looking for even banned glide, and all those other movement skills as well, along with finishers too, maybe
>>344518196
That's the easiest one though, just guard it back to him, and watch as he goes flying from it
>>344518329
Sometimes if the cannon touches you before it shoots, it will literally fling sora across the arena.
>>344518593
That's why you always wanna ensure that unless you're attacking, there's a certain amount of space between you and the Will
>>344518678
>look like a badass mofo
>real self was a gullible dumbass
They better not have him fuse with Terra again, or I swear
>>344514554
>"THERE'S NO WAY I CAN BE ANYTHING BUT A SHADOW!!!"
Yeah he was a fucking hellion. Thank god for 0 card combo breaks.
0-9-9 erry day.
>>344515475
was fun as fuck too
>>344518994
Terranort has to return though. Both Ansem SoD and Xemnas were destroyed. And if a Heartless and Nobody are destroyed in that order the original Somebody will return.
My prediction is this:
1. Rescue Aqua from the Realm of Darkness
2. Have her show the main group where Ventus is
3. Restore Ventus' heart
4. Find Terranort and through the power of friendship, free Terra from Xehanort's possession.
>>344518994
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't everybody in BBS a retard? It was almost like the only way Nomura was able to start with the premise of the game and end up at the build up to KH1 was to force everyone to suffer from intermittent tourettes-like ticks of irrationality.
>>344519493
I would say Ventus was just naive, as he is the youngest and most inexperienced of the three. Terra and Aqua make some pretty goddamn stupid decisions though, especially Terra.
Punished Aqua WHEN
>>344519615
Yeah, the kid is forgivable.
>>344519493
Xehanort and Vanitas didn't seem like retarded. Eraqus sure was though.
>master, xehanort wants to use me for his evil plans
>no worries ventus, i will stop him from doing this... BY KILLING YOU
>>344519493
Everyone but Master Xehanort and those aligned to him, though Aqua wasn't as much of a dumbass as Ven and Terra
>>344519682
Would've solved a lot of problems, you have to admit
>no Nimoy
>no Lee
guise I'm super scared right now
>>344519745
Not really. Vanitas was stopped without having to kill Ventus.
>>344510570
Anyone else think this guys 3D model was weird as fuck?
>>344520356
It certainly was fairly odd compared to everything else. But once we learn later that the only thing under that cloak is a heart it makes a little more sense.
>>344513543
>>344513543
What was Square's excuse for unskippable cutscenes? even games on the PS1 from them had skippable cutscenes, games on the same system had skippable cutscenes.
>>344520692
Laziness? For some reason it feels like a lot of early 6th gen had unskippable cutscenes.
>>344519802
Christopher Lee stopped voicing Ansem a few years before he died, Corey Burton took his place. If I recall correctly, Lee was like "Why do you need me when he can do a great impersonation of my voice?".

>>344513543
That fight was so fucking difficult, even playing through it on 1.5 I had troubleuntil i learned you can just block 90% of his attacksand when he does that thing where he sends out energy waves there is a place to stand that he can't hit you

sorta sounds like its a bullshit retcon excuse for why they used such a weird model, surely the reaosn he looks weird is because the standard black Organization robe model wasnt ready/finalized, but instead they tried to give a plot reaosn for it to cover it up.
>>344521842
The rest of the game is relatively easy, even on critical mode.
KH2 is piss easy until you get to xemnas and the data battles.
I don't know how fast 2.5 runs but I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to beat any of them, despite having beat them on an emulator.

>>344514714

>>344522798
Your best bet (if you have a PS3) is to get the 1.5 and 2.5 ReMIX collections. And if you have a 3DS or PS4 get Dream Drop Distance or 2.8 ReMIX (PS4 only).
>How important / good are the other games and what are they?
Story wise they're all important. The games are as follow:
Re:Chain of Memories
Re: coded
Birth by Sleep
Dream Drop Distance
>but if there's going to be characters in the third game from the other ones, I'd like to know them
Of course they will show up. Especially the Birth by Sleep trio.
PS. There are no "side games" this is a meme spread by shitposters.
>>344522798
Every game ties into the main story in some form or another, so if you want to be acquainted with every character (as every single one will likely be in KH3) get the 1.5 and 2.5 collections for the PS3.
Two of the games are made purely into cutscenes, but you'll get what you need out of them.
>>344522798
Every game is important, and everybody will be in 3.
>>344523165
Yee, I have 1.5
Should I bother getting 2.5 if I have a PS4 for 2.8
>>344523171
>>344523206

Fuck, it's so unfair I swear.
>>344523281
>Should I bother getting 2.5 if I have a PS4 for 2.8
Definitely. It's the first official release of 2 Final Mix being released in the West, which is worth a play through. As well as having Birth by Sleep Final Mix. Re:coded is a 3hr movie like 358/2 Days was in 1.5
>Shit. How long do I have until 3?
Possibly late 2017 or 2018. There's no official date yet, but more info is coming in Winter.
>>344523281

Does 2.5 have content that's not in 2.8?

2.8 (PS4 exclusive) is entirely different which includes:
Dream Drop Distance HD
Back Cover (a movie detailing events from Chi/Unchained X)
A Fragmentary Passage which is a playable episode of Aqua's time in the Realm of Darkness.
1.5 has:

The site I'm looking at for 2.5 suggests that Birth By Sleep and Recoded are only on the limited edition
Is it on both / does limited edition mean anything important?
>>344523883
To be fair it's just ports for those who didn't have handhelds to play the others.
2.8 has a December release date.
Nomura gets a little weird with the naming of the games, but there's a method to his madness.
>>344524050
All versions of 2.5 have the same content. That website is retarded, so you probably shouldn't shop there. What one is it?
>>344523883
Dream Drop Distance is "2.6" (as the follow-up to all the 2.5 content)
Chi is "0" (complete absence of Sora)
And 0.2 is... "0.2" (taking place after BbS, or "0.1")
So it becomes 2.8
Final Chapter Prologue because it's the prologue to KHIII, the final chapter.
>>344524117
Don't mind that, I'm just retarded didn't scroll down far enough, it's just the Limited Edition was a lot more obvious about it
>>344523875
>2.8
should be almost finished
>XV
Not Nomura's project
>>344524392
>Not Nomura's project
He is a designer and artist for it
Also Shimomura is the composer for it.
>>344522132
Im saying that every "mysterious" character in the kh series looks like this picture. so im calling that >>344510570 was supposed to look like that too but the design or the model wasnt finshed yet, so instead they went with an old alpha model. and now they've tried to retcon a reason like "oh yeah he was supposed to have a weird brown cloak because <reason>"
>>344524664
he's been relieved. his part of the project is done. he was a designer/the lead director, but he's been replaced by the other guy whose name escapes me at the moment. tabata, i think?
shimomura finished composing for xv at least a year ago.

I'll be buying KH3. I may skip HD 2.8.
>>344524664
Anon, they took him off XV three fucking years ago
Since then Tabata basically turned it into his own game instead of just finishing it
Like XV probably should have come out two years ago but Tabata's like "but I hate pressing buttons so first let me change everything"
>>344524742
It was simply that Nomura hadn't come up with the black coat design which didn't originate until Chain of Memories. I don't think it's a retcon considering it's just simply a cloak.

>yfw in Kingdom Hearts 3 Aqua's goal is to turn back time all the way to BBS, or Unchained so she can stop all the bullshit. She uses this good intention to get Sora, and crew on her side. In reality though she just wants to keep her friends, and cares about nothing else. We learn this half way through, and have to stop her at all costs. During the final battle she gives a speech asking Sora if he ever wanted to change how things went for him, and how she has the power to do that. Sora thinks of how he could be back on the Island with Riku, and Kari. He almost does it, but the power of friendship, and being reminding how he would never have met his current friends across all worlds changes his mind. He gives a lesson speech to Aqua about how you have to make the best of what you have, and everything happens for a reason, and not to dwell on the past. Aqua still in nostalgia, and anger doesn't believe him and falls to the darkness. She attacks. Her death dialogue
>I just wanted to spend on more night beneath the stars with my best friends...was that to much?
In her final words Aqua gets flashbacks, and tells Sora he was right, and not make the same mistake she did. As she's fading out she see's Terra and Ven welcoming her into the Light.
>>344524870
Why do you keep posting this?
>>344524803
2.8 includes Dream Drop Distance which is important as it'll lead into 3, the same way that Chain of Memories leads into 2. It also has the playable Aqua demo that was at E3.
>mobile
Non-canon, and sucked ass.
>gba com and coded
Only if you really want to experience the gameplay. The stories don't change between versions.
>>344524803
>original KH: Chain of Memories GBA
Story-wise, literally missing nothing
>original KH: Coded
Unless you have a DoCoMo which already has it downloaded, you'll never play it. They took it off the store.
No difference story-wise, Re:coded actually has more story content
>Kingdom Hearts Mobile
Ended service years ago
>Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance
Included in 2.8, which you should probably not skip since all three parts lead into KHIII
>>344525016
>Story-wise, literally missing nothing
it really does give a good impression on the types of people the organization is and explains what the hell is going on in the kh2 opening fairly well.
kh2 sort of starts assuming that you've played chain of memories. it doesn't stop to explain much regarding the organization, because chain of memories is meant to give the player enough information regarding them.
>>344525013
>>344525016
I have DDD for 3DS but just never played it. Would you suggest I just wait for 2.8?
>>344524664
>He is a designer and artist for it
And his job was finished years ago
He has also not worked on the project for quite some time
>Also Shimomura is the composer for it.
Yes and the music for FFXV is should be finished by now
>>344524863
>Retcon: noun (in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency.
so if i hit the nail on the head then yeah... its a retcon
>>344524845
That's not what happened.
Please keep the FFXV shitposting in the XV threads
>>344525152
I mean there is no difference between CoM and Re:CoM, which anon has played because it was in 1.5
>>344525162
2.8 version is 1080p and 60fps if that matters to you. Plus I think there's a couple new Dream Eaters but overall there's not a great deal being changed for the port. It's more personal preference at this stage.
>>344525334
gotcha

Damages hunt on backs, Sora.
>>344516195
You were on Proud right and also went Staff>Shield.
>>344526325
Real men pick Sword and drop Staff.
>>344526325
I did go Staff+Shield but I don't remember the difficulty. I probably did it on Normal. I had no reason to do Proud since I already had that trophy.
>>344527968
>KH2 engine
fake, or at least was cut from DDD
>>344528397
She's in Kingdom Hearts 2.5 as the secret Struggle opponent. You have to beat all the others 100 times each to unlock her.
>>344525162
2.8 is going to tweak Dream Eaters heftily and make Dropping less of an annoyance on top of being 1080p and having much more content. Playing 3D right now is a waste of time unless you don't have or don't plan to get a PS4 within the next year or so.
>>344528546
just look at the pants and boots. Shit's 2D and fake as shit
>>344528665
Go and try it out for yourself, it's not fake. She's really hard to beat because she's ridiculously offensive compared to the other three.
>>344528774
WHAT YEAR IS IT

>>344528397
>or at least was cut from DDD
Not even.
>>344525005
There's a noted amount of repetitive autism in KH threads.
>>344516337
I just wish it were possible to have more than 4 shortcuts. So many great spells, not nearly enough shortcuts for all of them, and /fuck/ trying to navigate to the right spell mid fight in time.Beat Critical Mode, never got the hang of Guard. So stiff and has such awkward timing, and never worked against anything that I actually had trouble with. Reflect is infinitely better
>>344529461
You're in luck because it looks like we can have more than 4 shortcuts in KH3.
Finish this sentence for me /v/
Kingdom Hearts is _________
>>344529581
>looks like
It's basically confirmed at this point, the 0.2 demo at E3 had it where you tab between them with the d-pad.
>>344526624
Whats the matter anon can't dodge well enough? Defense is for little babies.
>>344528774
>it's not fake
Stop lying, the deviantART user that uploaded that "leak" confirmed it was fake
It's old as dirt as well.
Daily Reminder. Worst gameplay coming through
>>344510570
> FFXIV, isn't based on a tightened up KHII battle system
> KH3 is going to have Lightning shoe-horned in
Why is Square Enix so shit lately. I try so hard to love them.
>>344529729
Sweet, I haven't seen the E3 footage yet. So thanks for confirming it.
>>344529814
Wouldn't dropping the Staff essentially make it the hardest mode as you lose out on the extra Magic stat?
>>344530137
But that's not a picture of Birth by Sleep anon.
>First time playing Kingdom Hearts
>Choose all the no XP options based on my own personal feelings
>Had no fucking idea that those choices actually meant something
>Went expert mode too
>mfw all of these bosses are kicking my ass
That giant sand tiger thing from Aladdin can go FUCK itself.
Also fighting Jafar was some infuriating shit. Not because it was hard, but because the stupid cunt wouldn't stop floating. His second phase was even more irritating. Are there going to be more annoying ass boss fights like that?
>>344530137
That's not Re:CoM. Com had decent combat for a handheld, but Re combined the shirt cards with the normal 3D combat, and it doesn't work together at ALL.
>>344530137
>>344530213
You're both wrong, Days has the worst gameplay
>>344530269
Days had the worst pacing. If it was 3/4ths shorter it would have been fine. CoM in all incarnations is just un fun
>>344530252
BOY I SURE LOVE GETTING STUNLOCKED AND KILLED IN ONE SLEIGHT
>>344530241
>Are there going to be more annoying ass boss fights like that?
Oh, anon...
I'm so sorry.
I mean I think that Cave of Wonders is the worst of it, but... the bosses in KH1 are mostly annoying as hell.
>>344530351
Days is literally never fun. Roxas is stiff, slow, the balance is completely fucked, the Heartless are braindead, bloated HP bars.
CoM just has a large learning curve.
>>344530154
Not him, but here's some video of the gameplay:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dz8jTsyYM4
I think that the mix of KH3 and BbS gameplay that they're aiming for in 0.2 looks like it's gonna mesh together really well.
>>344530241
You should be alright for awhile now. Ursula may give you some trouble. And so will Riku in Hollow Bastion.
Good luck.
>>344530438
Days at it's best and wrose is just average. CoM is shit all through
>>344530598
>CoM is shit all through
>>344530598
>Days at it's best and wrose is just average
Days at it's best is middling.
Days at it's worst is a fucking mess.
I've 100%'d both of these games, even Plat'd Re:CoM, and I would EASILY choose another Re:CoM Plat over another Days playthrough.
Hope you guys have been keeping up with Chi and Unchained Chi.
>>344530751
It is though. Just spamming sleights with one of the worst stories in KH
>>344530752
>Days at it's worst is a fucking mess.
Fights in Days are too short and easy to call it that. If it was 75% shorter it would have been a alright game
>>344530469
dat Firaga spam holy shit
>>344530910
>one of the worst stories in KH
>>344530910
>Fights in Days are too short
Not when you do piss-all for damage and every enemy has gigantic HP bars or stupid defense
>and easy
Well yeah, that's part of the mess
>>344530986
Riku's was alright. Sora's was shit. Both had the worst level by level stories and shit level designs
