I have just been informed that episode 52 hosed up and I have checked the copy on my hard drive and sure enough somehow Sony Vegas added 10 minutes of nothing to the end of the video during editing. I will change that and get it re-uploaded by the end of tomorrow. Edit: I just edited the video using Youtube's editor and cut out the extraneous 10 minutes that somehow got added on. It will still probably be a bit before Youtube has finished editing the video so until then the original version with the unusual 10 minutes is able to be watched.

Well, uh... this is awkward. Haven't posted anything in a while. So... Effort post! Limits Our final Limit, Riku's, is Session, equipped with Eternal Session. It is also one of the most versatile in the game. It does a large amount of damage as you'd expect by our last Limit, but it has a tool for dealing with just about every situation you'd use it in. Long range combat, short range combat, groups, bosses... something for everything, but it does do better against single-target enemies. It starts out with Riku and Sora slashing the CRAP out of an enemy. After that, your options become Dark Cannon and Last Saber, which are Reaction and Attack respectively. Unlike some limits, Sora and Riku don't act independently during Session; each command is given to both of them. Dark Cannon is a long range volley of homing dark orbs. Last Saber, on the other hand, is a short combo of slashes against an enemy, similar to Session's opening move. After using those commands for a bit, you gain access to another two commands, Master Hearts and XIII Blades. Master Hearts is your Reaction, and basically Sora and Riku's Keyblades get covered in light and darkness, extending them out as fuckin' rad energy swords that they swing in front of them twice. XIII Blades, your attack, is the same thing, only this time they get thirteen energy swords surrounding them while they spin around to hit everything nearby. Of course, no Limit would be complete without its finisher. In Session's case, this is All's End. Riku and Sora send their Keyblades up into the sky, where they shoot out blasts of energy at each other, hurting every single enemy around multiple times for powerful damage. It ends with a big flash of light, doing severe damage to every enemy as well. Oh, and did I mention that Riku and Sora are basically flying the entire time this is active? Summons Okay, so I already went over Genie. But with a new form comes a new Drive? for him to use. His new Final Form Limit is called Infinity. It's best used to deal with groups of enemies that are fairly spread out. While it's running, Sora and Genie run around with their Keyblades spinning around the air near them. As it progresses, they'll go to a different formation with Genie spinning around wildly. Basically, expect a lot of spinning and constant attacks wherever you decide to move to. At the end is Impact, where Sora holds his Keyblade up and Genie's Keyblade spins in front of it while Genie counts down from three. When he finishes, the Keyblade stops, lining up with Sora's, and then there's a bunch of explosions nearby. Forms Hoo boy, this one is a doozy. Final Form is, well, our Final Form, and definitely the most powerful. It's at least on par with Limit Form, which, as has been shown, is overpowered as all hell. It costs 5 bars of your Drive Gauge to use, and we've already discussed the quirks in unlocking it. The first thing you'll notice is that not only is Sora floating above the ground, both of his Keyblades are floating around him, much like how Master Form has one Keyblade that he controls telekinetically. In fact, they put effort into the placement of the Keyblades; when Sora is standing still, they hover behind him, and when he moves forwards, they spread out almost like wings. I can't help but think this is a deliberate design choice, especially given certain things later in the series. More importantly, the fact that the Keyblades float and move on their own allows for Final Form's special attribute. Every single action or motion you make counts as an attack. Yes, really. Using an Item or Cure? The Keyblades spin around Sora in a large area horizontally. Jumping? They do the same thing closer, blocking attacks and hitting enemies. Magic? Well, we'll get to that in a bit. What this means is that Final Form is both the ultimate offense and defense, intercepting attacks and hitting enemies without you hitting the attack or guard button. Final Form also takes attributes from all of the Forms that were in the original KH2. It hits as hard, physically and magically, as Valor Form and Wisdom Form; it hits in large areas and pulls enemies in, like Master Form; AND its combos hit very quickly and last a long time, like Anti-Form. Speaking of its combos, attacking with Final Form is basically throwing enemies into a buzzsaw. Sora will hit around him, drag enemies closer to him, and basically just obliterate his target. Mix in some magic and nothing stands a chance. Fire acts like Wisdom Form's, where Sora moves towards an enemy while engulfed in flames. However, in Final Form it hits harder, but covers less distance. Blizzard... well, each use of Blizzard shoots two blocks of ice at the enemy, but its finisher is a rapid barrage of ice that pushes Sora back but also generally deals massive damage. Thunder summons multiple lightning bolts, and its finisher makes them most powerful and hit a larger area. Magnet lasts for only an instant, but the damage it deals to enemies is just massive, often instantly killing weaker ones. Lastly, and this might be one of the more important parts, Reflect has Sora's Keyblades spinning around him, dealing damage even without the shield exploding. Last but not least, its Growth Ability is the always-useful Glide, which lets you simply fly through the air horizontally. While you will descend, the higher level your Glide, the less you fall down. In fact, at the higher levels of Glide, you actually will not touch the ground as long as you're gliding. Just holding the button without moving lets you slow down your fall, and just hover over the ground at higher levels. Glide is, after a brief moment of acceleration, the fastest way to get around areas. And, as a neat tip? Using Aerial Dodge and then going immediately into Glide skips the acceleration. So with a double jump, you'll rocket off around the room instantly. Final Form levels up by killing Nobodies. The easiest way to do this is, of course, the World That Never Was, but there's an alternative in the Sorcerer's Tower in Twilight Town, which is filled with weaker Nobodies than TWTNW.

Nameless Fool posted:Also, Prythian, where's that list of commands for the Zexion fight that you mentioned in episode 57? Funnily enough, I can't find one online. Lots of people saying to choose what command to get out of him changing your menu, no one listing anything else. That said, I'm pretty sure the general rule is that the other commands you can use give you health, mp, drive, or munny.

I'm actually curious Prythian, there is a set list of terms that can appear on the command menu during the Book Zone, correct? If so, is there any possible way to find all the terms that can show up? We could easily figure out what each does from what it is called if we have that list.

Plus a big brass section doing the backing. She Cant Stop Using same kind of soundfonts she is used to. I could go for more. By all means shes a great composer, and when her options are restricted she does pretty good things. Like Guile's theme. Less jokingly: The entire Legend of Mana OST.

Hey there everyone, I just thought I would drop by and see if I could run an idea by the thread and hopefully get some thoughts on it. I am considering creating a streaming schedule, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. Right now what I'm thinking about doing is having something that looks a little this.
Let me know what you think because I would really like to hear from you guys. As for tonight, I was thinking of continuing the Persona 4 stream that we started a ways back because I seriously need to finish that game. It will be starting at 11pm cst.

That... seems like a lot to do in a week each week. You might burn yourself out fast doing a daily stream AND record an LP at the same time. Maybe cut it down to a few days a week at first, to see what is doable?

To be honest that schedule was just a rough sketch of an idea and looking back on it again I can see that will probably be a bit much. As to the question whether this is just a summer thing, no I'm thinking I'm going to try and make this permanent. I'm not having much to do at night anyways so why not stream? Anyway let's try this one.
I think that will work a little better. Anyway, it is now time to do a little work on Persona 4!

Alright, at the end of KH1 I did an overview of the information I did in the game. At the end of CoM, I didn't do poo poo. But now, here at the end of KH2, I'm going to link to every single info post I made for it because why not. Fire, Blizzard, and Valor Form Mulan's Limit Cure and Chicken Little Beast and Auron's Limits Thunder and Trinity Limit Reflect, Donald's First Limit, and Wisdom Form Anti-Form Jack Sparrow's Limit Goofy's First Limit Magnet, Limit and Master Form, Jack Skellington and Tron's Limits, Stitch and Peter Pan Aladdin's Limit, Donald's Second Limit, Genie Let's Get Physicals Goofy's Second Limit, Simba's Limit, Lion Form Riku's Limit and Final Form I was going to go over Lingering Sentiment, but to be honest there's not much to say about him. He randomly chooses one move to favor when you start the battle, pray you get one that's not difficult to deal with. Also he takes more damage for each finisher landed on him, though this resets after a bit.

Ah yes, Kingdom Hearts. How many hours of my childhood was wasted on this series? Definitely love some of the heartless designs, I remember thinking Vivi was going to have something to do with the heartless at some point too. I'm still loving baffled as to why they never released KH III for Playstation 3, many people that grew up with KH have probably outgrown it or lost interest. Granted we had the really poor game on DS and the pretty okay one one the 3ds, and the really good one on the PSP (Team Aqua FTR).

The Journal New Characters Terra  One of the three protagonists for this story, but we have actually recently fought him as the Lingering Will in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix HD. Ventus  My, my, my doesn't this character look familiar. He is also protagonist number two. Aqua  Well how about that, this is the first time (and hopefully not the last) we have had a female protagonist/playable character. That's all we have for Birth by Sleep today, but remember that tonight we are continuing Turn-Based Terror from 10pm central to Midnight central and tonight we will be shifting gears and attempting to get further on Persona 4. This is because I'm far and away closer to finishing that game than Final Fantasy Tactics. This stream will be located at http://www.twitch.tv/gmarcturus.
