Kingdom Hearts II

[The Ponzzz]

I know this is late, but I just had the time to play it. But holy shit! This game was great! Played it through Proud Mode my first go and beat it last night. Managed to beat 97% of the game, all I'm missing is the colessium matches after the Goddess of Fate and Sephiroth(holy fuck, he's like 10x harder than on the first one!). Only level 87 so I do have atleast 12 levels to go til I cap, and all my forms are maxed as well.

But other than the ending and story being really great, the secret movie was fucking awesome! I mean, has anyone else played this game and see the ending? That game looks like it can be fucking awesome!

What console?

I was waiting til the price dropped. Beat part one but held off on this cuz I remembered alot of the scenes being too disneyish. :gag: Will prolly wait for a greatest hits version.

I didn't like it. It was too easy (even on proud mode) and all the places were essentially them retelling the storyline of whatever movie the place was from. Not to metion all the pointless cut scenes...

Well, if Kingdom Hearts II is anything like the first, I will love it.
Given that the first one was a wee bit corny, I found the game play to be rather enjoyable.
I can't wait to buy the second one.
And kudos you, Ponzzz, on getting 97% on the first run through. :)

I didn't play it on standard or easy modes, but from what i heard from others, the game was tough if you didn't stay above the level curve on proud mode. I was level 60 by the time they were saying level 34 was the recommended levels. And while creatures just had annoying moves(like the cars and the fat guys) the bosses were always a challenge even at higher levels.

I didn't use a single healing item up until the last battle however... But that's how it is for all games with me.

Yes, the game does have horrible cheese disney moments, the the Little Mermaid part is horrible, but the game had a great story I thought, comparing it directly to every PS2 game I have played(the .hack series being the only other recent game I thought even qualified as having a story worth mentioning, and no I haven't played FFXII yet).

I dunno, if you could mention a game with a story and difficulty worth mentioning, I'd run out and get the game. RPGs for the PS2 generally are way to easy...

What Michiko said. Not to mention the plot was absurd.

Not that I am defending the game really, where was the plot bad, comparing it to how the first went down?

You mean aside from the pointless tutorial with Roxas, the whole Axel subplot, the whole Riku/Xehanort/Ansem thing, and the OXIII baddies who you really couldn't care less about?

[Hips]

The first half of the plot was essentially "Hey, let's chase Pete around!" Then you had to revisit all the worlds... ugh.

Finny fun. Need I say more?

Ah, you guys didn't play Final Mix...

[Hips]

How does Final Mix have anything to do with KH2 other than that it explains a little bit of the plot?

It explains all the Organization XIII people better, the story is more amped up, more with Pete and Malificent, and more with Cloud and Seph(if I can beat him!!!!). Plus the game is quite a bit harder!

But, according to the guide I saw, the games are very similiar except for the break down in further explaining Riku and his journey, etc etc.

Doesn't sound like it makes the story any less stupid.

[The Ponzzz]

Haters!

[The Ponzzz]

Though I am curious, what RPGs are good out there in your eyes? Seriously, I haven't found one enjoyable that i would buy, I been renting games due to the fact I don't want to blow 50 on a game I can crush in 2 days and the story is the same as every other story...

[Numbers]

I'm not a fan of RPG's, and I don't really consider KH to be an RPG.

[Hips]

I've liked 12 a lot so far, which is pretty amazing considering I started out refusing to even buy the game because of how much I hated the demo.
