Seriously, there is frustration with both consoles. I don't have poo poo to look forward to on the 3DS for the rest of this year. I'd have probably gotten rid of my 3DS by now if not Shin Megami Tensei 4 coming out on it eventually. Similarly, P4G is the only reason I'm considering getting a Vita. Atlus is full of jerks.

But right now they are running neck and neck. That being said, I got a ton of good play from KHDDD. New experience for me with KH and it loving ruled.

I just started playing and I had a couple questions regarding spirits. What does affinity do? It's always varying between empty and max and I have no idea why or what increasing the maximum amount does. Also, how often should I be changing who is in my party? Should I be 100%ing each and every one?

How much it attacks, how often it casts support skills, etc. Basically, the more it loves you, the more it's gonna help you out in battle. You should definitely be rotating some of your spirits, although keep at least one with you at all times that gives you whatever skills you want. You really want to fill out all the permanent skills asap

kthegreat posted:I know it was mentioned how to tell which were earlier in this thread, but I can't remember at this point and I'm not sure where exactly to search for it. So could someone repeat how to tell if skills are permanent? The ones with the Spirit/Dream Eater logo on them are only in affect if the spirit is in your party. These are mostly just stat boosts like the different Haste/Screen/Boost things. They're also all on the leftmost column in the Abilities menu on the start menu. The abilities that stay with you once you've unlocked them are just red/purple circles on the Ability Link menu and are the other two columns in the Abilities menu. These are all attacks, except for the 3 purple ones: Once More, Leaf Bracer, Second Chance. tl;dr Once More, Leaf Bracer, Second Chance, any skill that's a command or Combo Plus, and/or purple or red on the Ability Link menu are permanent. Stat boosts are not permanent.

Can someone explain the basic of this game to me? I understand a small majority of going from one part to another, I do. However, I don't understand this whole "drop" mess. I just used Riku to fight Hockomonkey and then I was promoted to drop with Sora. So, now I'm using Sora and I just glided one some green rail and I'm going to travel that way. Although, there seems to be maybe 20 different things that I don't understand. understand that i call on other sprits to work as "allies" from other portals, but I need to watch the number of stars they have so I'm not overtaken. I also understand that I can level up my current Dream Eaters. I don't understand that whole level up and accessing new skills for Sora and Riku with them, though. I want to enjoy this game with my entire heart, but it's definitely not as easily understood as I remember when I played the first two.

Oh man... I'm at that fight again. In all of my life I don't think there's a single non optional boss in any game that's given me as much trouble as Ansem/Riku. I can already recite the preceeding cutscene from memory. It's not so much his "Behold the power of darkness!" sonic blade explosion attack as him staying permanently in glowy form once that starts and I'm terrible at dealing damage to him in that state. Five times and counting. edit: Finally managing to get the timing to block and counter his more powerful attacks. Just need to tighten it up. 11th try go. edit2: Got it that try! Time for my favourite cutscene. Now that I think about it were Sora and Ansem just having a massive fight, part of which involved the entire arena exploding multiple times, while Kairi was just lying there in the middle?

It was because he was blacklisted for doing an overseas movie that was found to be very anti-American, I believe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_Wolves_Iraq That is the movie in question, but I don't believe it was ever confirmed this happened or it was why he couldn't appear in the KH games. I doubt it was a money issue as KH makes loads of cash in the West and it's not like Billy Zane really starred in A-List movies after Titanic, I mean the movie basically relegated him to Mark Hamill status.

My biggest dissappointment when I started playing KH2 was the first time there was a flashback where Ansem appeared and the voice wasn't Billy Zane. He did an absolutely fantastic job and I wish he was still doing it.

To be fair, Haley Joel Osment (born 1988) was 14 when KH1 was released (2002) and 19 when Re:CoM was released (2007). He's now 24. Things like this tend to happen when game-time progresses only a year or two while the VAs are now a decade older. (And more importantly, that decade is a teenager to adult transition which will have some voice changes.) In short, it's probably best to blame Nomura for dragging things out forever and not including sensible time-skips. e:f;b

Sleights take three cards that add up to a certain amount, so find some sleights you like and build accordingly. Also, you can combine multiples of fire, blizzard, cure, etc. to turn them into higher level spells. There are also higher level sleights that combine magic and attack cards... Experiment. Also, save up the friend cards you get randomly in battle and combine them. Three Donalds combined casts third level spells. I actually really like Re:Chain's combat system

Stack your high level cards at the front end, put 3 or so 0 cards at the back for quick breaking.

Thanks; I'll keep all of that in mind. Do cards get burned if I stock/combo them for additional clout, or do I only lose them for the battle's duration if they form a sleight? The stuff about using friend card sleights should help massively as well. The biggest problem I've had is just that I'm finally getting to rooms where the enemies have cards as powerful as mine; Wonderland's Key of Beginnings room (battle with a horde of the Queen of Hearts's spade soldiers) seemed to pull out sevens on more than half their attacks, breaking every magic, summon, and heal I tried to use. My mistake was trying to wait for them to use weaker cards that I could counter, rather than just countering their heavy hits with heavier hits.

Pretty sure you only lose those cards for the duration of the fight, unless you use an Elixir or something. EDIT: Misread what you said. I think even a "failed" sleight gets rid of the cards for the battle, so be careful. I could be wrong about that, though.

None of this convoluted bullshit. That said, KH2 does have Paul St. Peter going for it though. For every Billy Zane's "Darkness!", this is St. Peter's "NOTHINGNESS!".

I hate to say this, but Paul St. Peter as Xemnas really is boring. I cannot care about anything that comes out of his mouth because not only is his dialogue terrible, it's just delivered in such a dull manner. I mean I love Paul St. Peter and his work, but Xemnas really is not one of his better roles.

Wargoyle is the Hunchback world boss. For Riku's case, hop onto the air. The boss' attacks all become laughably easy to dodge once you're airborne. A few ranged commands (Strike Raid, Fire, whatever) will set you on your way to killing him.
