Tempting, I'd go for that if I wasn't woefully unfunny and Norwegian. Just wondering, you gonna do the spruced up version of Chains of Memories eventually? I've only seen the GBA version.

So, after watching those episodes, I actually have multiple things to talk about! And here I thought I was just going to be talking about magic. In the episode, you mentioned that Heartless are weird, and brought up the difference between Pureblood and Emblem Heartless. Well, let's get the major weirdness out of the way: Heartless generally speaking do not lack hearts. In fact, they're basically a shell of darkness surrounding a heart. In the case of Purebloods, this darkness corrodes away at the heart, eventually destroying it. For specific, spoiler reasons, Emblem Heartless instead merely contain the heart inside of them. It's fairly easy to recognize which type of Heartless something is; anything with the Heartless symbol (the red-thorned heart) on it is an Emblem, and Purebloods tend to being entirely black for the most part. Shadows and the Darkside are both Purebloods, for instance, while everything else we've seen has been Emblem. Something interesting to note is that even within these two categories are 'families' of related Heartless. Again, Shadows and Darksides actually belong to one of the two families of Purebloods. These aren't really relevant at all, but when they pop up and I have something else to mention I'll usually make a side note about them. In any case, we got some magic spells finally. So, first off, the way magic works is that your max MP doesn't just determine how often you can cast magic; it determines how powerful that magic is. Every single type of magic in the game gets more powerful the larger that blue bar of yours is. This is the primary reason people pick the staff; you end up with more MP, making your spells HILARIOUSLY broken. Our two current spells are Fire and Blizzard. Fire is a long-range, single target missile that has decent homing capabilities. For single-target damage out of the basic spells, it is the best by far, and has the distinction of being the only spell that you can really spam. Every other spell you'll go through the animation again, but Fire will let you just hammer on the button and send out fireball after fireball. Blizzard, on the other hand, as seen in the videos, is great for groups. It's a spreadshot of ice bullets that expand when they hit enemies. Later levels of the spell expand in larger amounts, potentially hitting multiple enemies and, I believe, potentially hitting the same enemy multiple times for large amounts of damage. It works best against groups of enemies on the ground for obvious reasons. I also wanted to bring up the different types of weapons you can get Donald and Goofy. In the shop, there were two options for each. Donald uses staves and hammers. I cannot stress this enough: NEVER USE A HAMMER FOR DONALD. They're good for physical attacks with him, but you never want him attacking, and they reduce his MP by one. Max MP powering up spells holds true for Donald! You always want him casting spells if he can with as much magic as he can get. Goofy gets, well, shields and shields, but they're sized differently. The small ones are more powerful for attacking, while the large ones are more powerful for his own defense. Again, you don't want to use the large ones if you have a good small one! Unless you're loading Goofy up with tons of items, his own survival doesn't matter much (expecially in Final Mix, where one of his support abilities got nerfed) and for the time that he's up, you want him doing as much damage as possible. Lastly, just as a note about some of the nice touches in this game: During the fight with the cards, if you run up and hit the Queen of Hearts, she falls over and all of the red cards panic. The black cards keep attacking you, though. Prythian fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Aug 30, 2014 |

I...did not know about the Max MP thing. And uh, I'm guilty of using Hammers on Donald. Really? Goofy's Shields are different dependent on Size? So say, the first shield is the good for physical, but not defense? huh. Learn something new every day.

One thing I'm disappointed in: When the stench came up, no one was immature enough to make a "Fartless" pun  . Really enjoying this so far, the only games I haven't beaten are Coded (got halfway through) BBS (no psp yet) and DDD (can't find yet)Also, it surprised me going back to the Alice in Wonderland movie that the door knob was not like he was in KH. He was much more jovial, laughing at his own jokes, one of his better known lines being after Alice finds his key: "One good turn deserves another! Ahhahahahahahaha!"

Cool an LP of this game. I have this game I think I got up the second world, the one after alice in wonderland. I really didn't have a clue what was going on to be honest, the combat was sort of odd to me, maybe the LP will make me want to give it another shot if I learn a thing or 2, I also had no idea who any of the Final Fantasy people were, I've only played FF13.

Granting that I've not touched this series for years, I'd say those first 3 games... MOSTLY hold together. Each of them have their own problems but they were fine and fair enough. Then I played Days, which was terrible but liberating because after that I didn't have to ever look at the games again.

They made new roles for each element in KH2 then went back to KH1 styles for the rest. Actually I'm dumb and each installment had it's different (some less than others) roles for the elements. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Sep 7, 2014 |

Just realized I forgot to add some entries to the character entries. I also updated a couple of the earlier entries in the original post for last week's episode. Maleficent This evil witch is the one who tricks Riku into helping her gather the Princesses of Heart in order to open the door to the "Heart Of All Worlds". She first appeared in "Sleeping Beauty" in 1959. VA: Susanne Blakeslee  Oogie Boogie One of Maleficents cohorts in Kingdom Hearts and the antagonist Jack the Pumpkin King. He first appeared in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" in 1993. VA: Ken Page  Jafar The royal vizier of Agrabah. He is helping Maleficent as he believes helping her will allow him to take over Agrabah. He first appeared in "Aladdin" in 1992. VA: Jonathan Freeman  Hades The hot-headed antagonist of Hercules. Hades isn't really interested in Maleficent's goals, but he joined up with her because he saw Team Sora as a mutual enemy. He first appeared in "Hercules" in 1997. VA: James Woods  Ursula The sea witch with nothing better do than cause trouble for King Triton. She joined up with Maleficent so that she could exploit the powers of Darkness to help her steal King Triton's mystical trident and take over all of the seas. She first appeared in "The Little Mermaid" in 1989. VA: Pat Carroll  Captain James T. Hook The antagonist of Peter Pan and just a general pain in the butt. His goals simply revolve around using the Heartless to destroy Peter Pan. He first appeared in "Peter Pan" in 1953. VA: Corey Burton

I enjoyed Days, even though it was the second-worst game (because I didn't mind the panel system and the bosses didn't have many gimmicks, I have however stopped playing Coded right at the end due to a certain final sidescrolling boss being a complete bell-end).
