Is this on the PS store for download, or is it disc only?

Meh, I still pick the sword and drop magic. I prefer getting my hands dirty in the battles and I don't think I could stand playing through the majority of the game without combo extenders.

I'm playing on normal difficulty though, so I'm not anticipating too much trouble. I don't know if there's a bonus video unlocked for completing proud mode, but with the advent of YouTube, I've stopped jumping through those kinds of hoops.

I feel like I'm the only doof who picked the sword. Are the differences really that apparent in Final Mix? Should I start over seeing as I only just made it to Traverse Town?

The worst thing about Final Mix is how long it takes to actually start playing the game. From selecting the game on the XMB, you have to sit through:

- a trophy sync screen
- Splash pages for Disney and Square Enix
- the game select screen
- another trophy sync screen
- another splash page for Disney and Square Enix
- a new game / load data screen

I've clocked it at just over two minutes from the start of that sequence until actually playing the game. Unreal.

Truth be told, I'm sinking more time into this than GTA5. There's something strangely addictive about this game the other Kingdom Hearts never recaptured.

Still don't know why Goofy yells out "moyle" all the time though.

So in vanilla KH, I remember being able to grind rate truffles on the deck of the ship in Neverland to earn some easy levels. Were they taken out of Final Mix? I must have run through there two dozen times, and every now and then I get some new flying fish piece of poo poo that steals all my money, but no rare truffles.

Truth be told, that would be the sort of "punish the gamer" dick move that would make me quit playing the game. Wasting an hour or two snacking mushrooms around is bad enough. I'm not going to fight random encounters for 20 additional hours to max everything out.

If and when KH2.5 comes about, I hope they add a turbo mode or something so I can experience the new content without spending 40 pointless hours mashing X to level up. The level progression in these games is so drat slow.

It's too bad the whole trophy system has hosed over the ability to share and download game saves. I'm currently playing KH2 through the magic of ePSX2 and turbo mode is the only way to get through that slog of an into. I would love to be able to just import a save file with the new content accessible and have at it because there's no way in hell I'm grinding through all this crap again.

Birth by Sleep with an actually playable control scheme is something to get excited about though. That game was awesome despite the PSP's weird slidey analog nub and the carpal tunel syndrome.

Everyone should have at least one gummi dreadnaught in their garage. If you do it right, you won't even need to steer out of the path of incoming fire or objects. Everything else just kind of dies around you.

I wonder how much of a Square-Enix presence there's going to be with the cast this time. We went from most of the major players in FF7, FF8 and FF10 in the first game down to just Zack in BBS (the most recent KH I've played). Disney presumably has the whole Pixar catalog of films to work with this time around, but Square has... uh, FFXIII?

Lightning is a given, but she's the only iconic character Square has produced in the last decade. I suppose they could double-dip with past series favorites, but a lot of newer gamers aren't going to know who the hell they are.

I'll be getting this purely for a version of BbS that doesn't control like balls. I remember being really disappointed with KH2 when it first came out, and replaying it earlier this year just solidified what a travesty it is. It was one of the prettiest PS2 games for sure, but it was also one of the most inane. If I didn't have the ability to fast forward through the bullshit and the "Sora. Donald. Goofy's" I wouldn't have finished my replay.
