As regarding Kairi, I just kept hoping she'd be a playable character someday, especially after how awesome Aqua was, but nope. Probably not going to happen now.

If Sora isn't using at LEAST five Keyblades at once as he kills the final boss than that isn't a Kingdom Hearts I want to play. :colbert:

Right, beat the game today, drink your goddamn tea Sora, now I only need one more trophy for the secret ending. I assume the points for Daring Diver are cumulative, because getting over 2 million in one dive by itself seems impossible?

Hm. Ending stuff: Young Xehanort says Master Xehanort is him from the most "distant future" or whatever, but shouldn't Terranort be Xehanort's "oldest" form? Guy didn't even get screentime, when he should be the leader of all the Xehanorts, considering he made both Xemnas and Ansem. What's up with that? :colbert:

Because both Xemnas and Ansem (seeker of the darkness) were destroyed, Master Xehanort re-formed as himself, as was explained in re:coded's secret movie.

So he didn't get reformed to his new Terranort body, but as the old one? That doesn't make sense. He was Terranort when he split into Ansem and Xemnas, as seen in the very first cutscene in the game, even.

EDIT: By the way, is there a way to fight the final bosses in post-game difficulty, like the rest of the bosses?

Does anyone have have any tips for combat in KH3D? I'm going against Warogyle with Riku and I just seem to be everywhere with no real plan of attack.

That's his first boss, right? Just jump on the railings so you Flowmo, then attack. It does ridiculous amounts of damage.

What do you actually get to keep if you do a new game+? I'm kinda tempted to do one on a higher difficulty but I'm fairly close to making some star-rank Dream Eaters and I don't wanna lose my items.

That being said, I'm almost level 100 on both my characters so...

I'm totally expecting a Harry Potter thing from this. Sora's keyblade breaks, he uses the X-Blade instead, but then repairs his own at the end. I just get that feeling.

I always find the music to be top notch in these games. Shimomura is fantastic (even though it's really easy to recognise her music since a lot of it sounds the same).
I have to admit, one of the biggest reasons I'm looking forward to KH3 is the end boss rush, and the music playing being a Forze del Male/Darkness of the Unknown/Another Side/Dark Impetus/Black Powder/Enter the Darkness/Rage Awakened/Dismiss/L'Oscurita dell'Ignoto/L'Eminenza Oscura/L'Impeto Oscuro/The Eye of Darkness remix. :pcgaming:

These final bosses are loving dumb, I finally beat the last one I bitched about now I'm on another one who teleports all over the place, and hits hard but he's endgame so that's fine. But this is stupid: He also shoots a ton of projectiles that cast slow upon hit and there's no way to dodge it or block enough hits to not get hit by it

Put on a Dream Eater that stops slow, like that earlygame lizard. Toximander, I think?

So, got to the final boss in 3D and I'm confused. I can wail on him and take no hits until the final part where he uses the Shotlock. What am I supposed to do during the shotlock? I just mash the button and occasionally I get hit and slowly but surely he kills me.

Try to time it so you attack at the same time as he does. Your attack will connect, his won't. Don't just mash.

Okay, I checked the thread, but can someone explain what the christ was happening with Dream Drop Distance's plot? Things were mostly making sense until I hit Sora's final boss and the plot went completely off the rails.

Did you beat the game yet? I assume you did, but one can't be too careful before answering.

quote:

Somewhat agreed there, however, Gigabyte Mantis was pretty cool to fight against

Yeah. He was really easy and all, but the music was really good.

Of course, Rinzler Recompiled is one of the best tracks in the game, too. Dammit, Shimomura.

legoman727 posted:

Yeah, yeah, I beat the game, just no idea what the HELL was going on past Sora's final boss.

Alright then.

So the gist of it is, at the end of KH2, they receive that one letter that tells them about the BBS crew and stuff and that they have to train. So Yen Sid sends them back in time to when the Destiny Islands are destroyed at the beginning of KH1. This is so that they can reach the Heart of the world at the moment it is destroyed, since the Heart falls asleep and they can enter the Dream Worlds. However, Ansem SoD attacks them when they're about to enter, and Riku tries to defend Sora. Since they were so close to the Heart, Riku somehow enters Sora's dreams instead of the world's, and that's why they're seperated most of the time. Since Riku protects Sora from bad things in his dreams, he's essentially Sora's "Dream Eater".

So then they beat up the bosses and find the Keyholes. Then, instead of going back to Yen Sid's place like they're supposed to, Xehanort and crew take them tto a sleeping version of the World that Never Was, and trap Sora, and Riku by extension, in an illusion. Xehanort has been time travelling too, and has been gathering all his different forms throughout time to create a new Organisation XIII. They can't make Riku into one, so they weaken Sora until his heart falls into Darkness and he goes comatose. Riku finds a dream-manifestation of Sora and beats up one of his Nightmares, then fights and beats up Ansem SoD. He's then taken out of Sora's dreams, and end up in the real sleeping world.

Then he beats up Young Xehanort, but since both Xemnas and Ansem SoD had been defeated, the old Master Xehanort is reborn. He explains that his plan is to have 13 warriors of Darkness and 7 warriors of Light fight each other, since that will reforge the X-blade and restart the Keyblade War. He tries to mindcontrol Sora, but Lea (and GOOFY and DONALD) save the day, and the Xehanorts leave because their time was up or whatever. Roll with it.

Then Riku dives into Sora's dreams again back at Yen Sid's place, beats him up, and is taken to a digital representation of the Destiny Islands, where he meets Ansem the Wise who explains that he hid some of his research data inside Sora way back.

Then, Riku and Sora wake up, Lea gets his Keyblade, Riku is declared Master, Sora heads out on a journey by himself to become stronger, and Kairi is apperantly being trained by Yen Sid as well.


SO THERE YOU GO :shepface:

Menus are often a surefire way to check out how far things are in development. Note how in neither this FF15 or the KH3 trailer has an actual functioning menu. It's just a sticker plastered on to make it look better.
