 Platforms: iOS/Android Release Date: Japan September 2013 North America April 2016 Cost: Free-to-Play with In-App Microtransactions What the hell is Kingdom Hearts doing on my phone? This game explains the events of the start of the Kingdom Hearts timeline, specifically the events leading up to the Keyblade Wars. Does it feel like Kingdom Hearts? Heck Yes It Does! Includes multiple series hallmarks: ~ Cheerful, Bright Color Palette ~In-Depth Keyblade Combat ~A grab-bag of Disney & Final Fantasy characters ~Levels almost completely devoid of NPCs (Although Agrabah has a guard now!) How “Free” is Free-to-Play? (Prrrrrrrretty Free, Not Obnoxious or In Your Face!) A catch-all currency system for this game is Jewels. You are awarded Jewels every day for logging in, for completing 5 new missions in a row, or for completing Bonus Missions. You can also buy jewels for Real Money. Jewels allow you to: * Purchase Medals (new attacks you can randomly win) * Purchase Avatar Boards (Special Costumes that are marginally nicer than all the free armor you get for progressing) * Refill your AP meter (every level requires AP to run, although this meter also refills every time you level up) * Increase your Medal Cap (this is important as you’ll reach this quickly through any normal play) The games progression is gated behind the grinding of your combat medals. Every day of the week offers a specific set of mats that you can grind via repeatable bonus levels. For real money ($15.00 US) you can unlock all the bonus levels for a week, functionally allowing unlimited grinding until you were such high level that you couldn’t level up from replaying missions over and over. VERDICT: Such as it is, I personally have no desire to spend money on this game, despite playing it regularly, because of the way the bonus levels are gated, the game basically forces you to put it down at some point because you just can’t grind out anymore stuff for your Medals or Keyblades. Getting Started: Download: iOS: For your iPhone or iPad Android: For your Android Phone Choose Your Faction: This determines what friendship medals you have access to as well as your bonus at the end of each week.The five factions are Anguis, Leopardos, Unicornis, Ursus, and Vulpeus.  Get in a Goon Guild: ANGUIS Party: Taxeom Play Style: Core Message: Goon-friendly Members: LEOPARDOS UNICORNIS URSUS Awxful Hardcore VULPEUS Party: Noxog Play Style: Hardore Message: We're 1/2 Xahanort!

If you erase your game and re-download it, all of your medals, keyblades, mission progress, everything is gone forever. The only way to back up the data as of now is to pair it with Facebook, so do so! Gameplay (Chain of Memories vs. Rock Scissors except the bad guys don’t really fight back) This game is balanced around the core concept of Rock, Paper, Scissors except it’s Strength (Red)->Speed (Green)->Magic (Blue). For example, If I have equipped a Strength Medal, I will deal regular damage to Red Heartless, 50% more damage to Green Heartless, and 50% less damage to Blue Heartless. You control your avatar using your finger & touch screen a la’ Diablo. Your avatar will enter a level and choose a Keyblade to equip. Each different keyblade provides bonuses to specific colors, and the mission select screen indicates whether you are more likely to encounter Red, Green, or Blue Heartless. You fight Heartless by bumping into them and open stuff by tapping it. In Combat you get one attack for each medal you have equipped to your keyblade in addition to a single Friend Medal from some other person in your faction each turn. A tap deals a single target blow, a swipe evenly distributes damage, and dragging the Medal towards the middle uses the medal’s special attack, summoning the Disney or Final Fantasy Character pictured to perform a special attack. At the end of your turn the Heartless attack you, then you go again. The game is largely balanced around finishing off your opponents before they can respond and you are heavily rewarded and incentivized to do so. Raid Bosses Every 75 Heartless you kill summons a Raid Boss. A Raid Boss is a monstrous Heartless with multiple attackable body parts that will guaranteed kill you in one hit no matter what. You work with your party by attacking them over and over again until they die for rewards to everyone who helped killing them.  Leveling Up & Evolving Medals  You get Medals from completing missions or buying them in 3/5/10 packs with Jewels. Each Medal has stats and a level. As you increase a Medal's level its stats go up, and once it has achieved maximum level you can Evolve it into a more powerful form, going from 1-6.  Q: Where can I farm Evolution medals outside of Daily Missions? A: Cheshire Cat: 63 Merlin: 158 Fairy Godmother: 148, 174, 194 Yen Sid: 174, 194 Mickey: 270 (LOL NA) Avatar Boards  As you progress through missions you will receive Avatar Points, which you can spend on Avatar Boards to improve your stats and unlock cosmetic items to make your Avatar look however you want. Guide for what Avatar Boards unlock by level Guilt By merging 3* Medals or higher with identical evolution levels, you can improve on their latent special abilities.  KHInsider’s crystal clear breakdown of the Guilt System USEFUL INFORMATION, Tips & Tricks Japanese Tier List English Tier List, transcribed from a different Japanese website onto reddit Zotix posted:Just an FYI when you look at a skill, if it's just the sun looking thing it's single target. If it's got like a shockwave around it, it's an AoE. Kheldarn posted:Medal Equip Cost: Your Medals all have a Cost value assigned to them. You can equip Medals on a Keyblade up to the total Cost value. Unlocking Cost +1 nodes on the Avatar Boards increases this. Poorly named. It really should be Capacity. Allarion posted:"Skills" are special passive abilities that sometimes appear on medals drawn from Rare and Premium draws, or which are added to medals by melding with a Scrooge medal. Skills have a chance of activating when a medal is used, or when a special condition is met. DontMindMe posted:1.

If you tap the AP bar it shows you how long it takes until the entire bar fills in addition to the time to the next AP. Lutha Mahtin posted:You can chain-feed certain medals for extra XP! Maybe everyone else knows this already but I found an interesting recipe. I have a green medal I want to buff up and for fodder I had a 1* green XP medal (Louie?), and a 1* Lv1 Stitch medal. The XP medal would give me 360 XP, and the Stitch would give me 45. Then I fed the XP medal to the Stitch, got a standard result (no "great" bonus or anything), which pushed Stitch to Lv7, and he's now worth over 800 XP. I don't know if this works with any other medal, or even other tiers of this Stitch medal, but hopefully this is useful information. (also hopefully someone has already made a big list somewhere with all these XP tables Nomadic Scholar posted:idk if anyone said this already, but when you try to chain exp onto something, it only works if you are feeding a copy of the thing you're trying to level.

Ok so if you don't back up your character via social media deleting the game from your device and reinstalling means your stuff is gone forever. Please, humble Vulpes goons, delete Taga from the guild and invite Gaxta (ID:1024448)... On the one hand, that is like 6 hours of phonegaming down the drain, but now I know how the game works and I won't waste nearly as much stuff as I already had. I know not to level up olympia, and too save my Jewels for medals and maybe a good costume, but definitely not on recharging AP> Ugh, oh well, the game is fun, i'm sure i'll be back where I was in a few days.

Does sleep work like other games here where if I sleep something and then hit it wakes up? Doesn't that make sleep useless if its on anything other than your friend's medal?

Rafza posted:also today marks the first time i've not taken the weekly pack, mostly because i have 5 10cids with nothing worthwhile to spend it on and the current pool of medals is not very exciting/theres no new avatar board Games been out for 13 weeks, right?... so that means you could have bought a 3DS for the price of this phone game? Or am i doing the math wrong? I'm not shaming you, I'd spend that on some dumb poo poo or just going out to eat, and I like this game too, and ultimately the reason people like me get new content every month is because of people like you being like "um, gently caress it, all 6* guilted medals please"

I am not a square shill so please listen when I say "Whale this week". If you like playing this game, but feel left in the dust, this week is your chance. I have whaled only 2 times, 1 AP week and this week. Use this opportunity to max your strongest medals and then GUILT as many commons as you can. That should be more than enough for all the content before the crazier Adamantite quests. Sincerely, A goon who spent $30 on a swipey, cell-shaded phone game about friendship

 Yaaaasssss queen!! The princesses are nice but everything else is just yellow dots. My first 10 pull let me guilt my TRpete (47%). Now that I've got my whale up, I'll finish guilting HTSora and the commons. I want to be in shape for the next big event.

So I feel like we can expect some Skill + boards soon? I feel like I can get away with just guilting commons and stuff now that my Medal pool is fattenned up and they seem to be gifting us real T3 premiums a little more... The nerd in me really needs his Simba/Genie/Yuffie etc to get massively pimped out...

Yeah i have given up the ghost. I have easily spent more time playing this than either Diablo 3 or Overwatch. Basically, Videogames from the last year just haven't mattered to me because the only thing i thought that looked even halfway cool was bloodborne, FPS games aren't console sellers for me. This game is cute and simple and fun and then randomly every once in a while you have to really try hard to succeed and thats enough to get me to spend money on it. i can't think of any of other game ive downloaded for free and stuck with for this long except LoL

So I'm thinking of buying one or both boards for the AP+, since I don't have any and they seem mandatory for the Moogle of Glory quests. Do you think the MoG Quests can be done with just one AP+ or will I need two? I've 1-shot the first map, but can't even make it to the target enemies on either of the next two, even though I have a pretty respectable pile of guilted medals.

There's also a ton of quality of life buffs in this update. I just set a reoccurring alarm on my phone, this definitely hooked me back up... Ok, Goons: What have you spent on this F2P game this year? According to my Apple account, I've dropped $65 on this in the year that I've been playing, but I've easily logged 65-70+ hours on it by now so... I really and dumbstruck by the amount of time I've spent on this game.
