The thread where I will be talking about my progress in the game and my discoveries going through it and whatnot. Probably a good amount of just plain fan girl goodness too. I will hopefully get my copy on Tuesday when it comes out. I work that day, (darn it!) but have the next day off so expect more posts probably Wednesday.

Anyone else playing the game is free to post here too!

Be aware of possible spoilers in this thread!

I've actually been good and been keeping myself away from spoilers with this game. I don't know much about it other than it's about Roxas and junk. It's rare that I keep myself from looking at spoilers, actually, because I hate not knowing. I just love Kingdom Hearts enough to do so, I guess. So hopefully the game will be that much more enjoyable for me!

Whenever Saix can be on my team, I will totally take him. SQUEEE!

Hahaha, xD

the game looks liek a horrible quality version of KH2.
But do i care? HECK NO!
xD im so getting it on my birthday. hahah.
all i know is that there's a seperate mission mode where you can play as any character from the organization, not to mention soem unlockable characters. ^^ and that the camera isn't too good.

There always seem to be a problem with the camera at one point in any game. At least the games that I play . . .

This game is on the DS, remember, so we can't expect just as good as graphics as what's on the PS2. What I've seen of it looks pretty dang good though.

well, yes! best graphics on the ds i've seen so far. ^^
and the fact that's it's a 40 hour game is awsome, too. this'll hopefully tide me over for Birth by sleep. which will be able to stand on it's own, unlike this one. because this one is already pre-determined an' whatnot. But i honestly do not care. xD it could have the most horrid storyline ever, (that would really suck, though. D: ) the fact i can play as what ever character i want and play with friends, is good enough for me alone. ^^;

.....hurry up, birthday....o.0

Guess what has been shipped! EEEee! Is it morning yet?!

I bought my PSP so I'd be ready when Birth By Sleep comes out. Granted, it probably won't be released for another year or so, and I bought my PSP a year ago . . . but nothing wrong with be being well prepared in advance!

My DS is charging right now so I'll be ready, in fact.

I'm just a little bit worried. The reason I ordered from Amazon.com was because they said it would be delivered the day it came out. Usually when you have an order with them, and you go to their tracking page, it says the "Destination" is your home town. Instead this time though, it says the Destination is a town thirty miles over.

I sure hope they're sending it to the right house! I'm pretty sure they will but . . . mix ups can happen . . .

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

(Translation: Guess what's here.)

It apparently came when I wasn't paying attention as it was on the table when I went downstairs. And no one told me! How rude. But I got it now. Not a lot of time to play it before work, if I end up going. Still feeling sick from yesterday . . .

I'm having flashback of when I was at work and Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories came in. I was about to cry then, and I think I might just cry now. So happy!!!

Proof!

It has a cool cover/skin on it. I took a picture of with it and without it. The colors look different because one picture I used the flash, and the other I didn't. (Just sayin'.) The images are big (for some reason) and might take a minute to load. The one without the falsh is a bit blurry too. Sorry, but there was a glare.

Picture 1
Picture 2

I called in to work, (I really am sick though!) so time for me to fire this sucker up!

Ha ha, the little icon when you are going to start the game? Some sea salt ice cream. Classic!

First line of dialogue? Spoken by my Saix!!! I squeed.

In game graphics are okay. Pretty good for a DS I suppose. The camera will take some getting used to I think. Video graphics are pretty good. The organization has couches. Awesome.

Edit: Saix is the one to send you on the first mission, maybe all of 'em. I'll do whatever he wants!! Very Happy

Edit: Yeah, Saix seems to be the one to send you on missions. I want HIM to go with me though! Ah well.

I fought some Heartless. Go me.

There are barriers that keep you from going areas that you don't need to go into. They are set up by the organization, it says. Xemnas doesn't want any messing around, it seems!

Edit: Zexion hits enemies with his book. You show 'em, dude!

I just realized I spelled my name wrong in the thread title. Oops. I fixed it.

I'm going on a mission with Saix!!!

Lexaeus is coming too though . . . I want Saix to myself!

Edit: Ohh . . . I musta read it wrong. I thought he said he was coming too . . . It was just Lexaeus.

And he hit me! What a jerk!

Not as much of a jerk as Larxene though. What a loser she is . . . But she did just give me a potion . . .

Demyx is silly.

Edit: I want Saix with me, dang it!

Currently on Day 22 . . . I think. You don't start the game until Day 8, and the first several missions are basically tutorials.

The panel system sucks! You have to equip stuff to your panel if you want to use it and take it with you. You only have so many slots to use. Like if you want to be able to use Dodge Roll? That's a slot. Want some potions? That takes up some slots. You run out quickly. The idea is good, but I am sure I'm going to need a lot more slots. It's just annoying that I have to pick and choose. I just want it there when I need it.

I'm on the fence with the magic system. You have to equip it to panels. Like I have four Fire equiped, so I can cast Fire four times. After they are used up, I can use an Ether, but that only give me one back. One magic for one Ether isn't that good of a deal . . . At least I will use Ethers more than I did in Kingdom Hearts II. So useless.

There is still a shortcut system, which is nice. In order to scroll through the menu thingy, you press the X Button. Shortcuts are faster, but I keep getting mixed up on what I have equiped to which shortcut.

I am gathering Munny, but have yet to find a shop to spend it all. I have quite a bit too. Then I am gathering Heart Points and that says I spend that at shops too, but still nothing. Ah well.

I am at level 2 currently. Leveling takes a while, it seems.

There's some updates on the game for you. Heh.

I took a break and am playing again now. I teamed up with the new organization member, Xion. She's just kinda there though . . .

I've unlocked shops! It's the most awesome thing ever: A Moogle in a black organizaiton coat!! Ha ha. He sure does jack up prices though! 800 Munny for a Hi Potion! Holy crap!

You can unlock more panel slots, but apparently one at a time. You have to equip your levels or you are only a Level 1, and that is annoying to have to take up a slot like that.

Axel is currently at Castle Oblivion. Apparently, Chain of Memories has started in the background. It's like three weeks after Roxas was first born. Who knew Sora was wondering around for so long? I mean, Roxas was created and then Sora beat Ansem not too long after, so how long was it before Chain of Memories happened? Few weeks it seems.

This means that Larxene will be dead soon! Mwahahaha!

Heh, I like Larxene and her design. She's just a jerk to me so I'm a jerk back.

Edit: I wonder if "days" is the same as our measurement of time. If so, Sora was in Castle Oblivion for weeks! And Roxas apparently slept through a lot of that time . . . for . . . some reason.

heh. jeeeez!
this is what i get for not looking at the forum for three days!?
well, least it seems you really enjoy it.
The panel system looks interesting to me, and i like it. at least....ill see how bad it is when i get it...doesn't seem bad though.
heh. saix. you know why they have him giving orders, vye?
Square enix wants to torture you. eyup. you don't get to have saix with you for a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time. ;D
(just teasing, how the heck would I know?)
Anyway, um, technically, sora was in castle oblivion for a year. :/ the egg thingy namine made counts.
I hated laxerene. she was a tough boss to beat in KH:COM on the GBA (my first KH)
Roxas...slept? hm. i mean, he was created pretty much the instant sora was turned into a heartless.
The magic system dun sound too good. D:
I got a question for ya-
are items used up the first tiem you use 'em?
i mean, the cute lil org' moogle sells high potions for 800 munny, i'm betting you put it in the panel thing, and when you use it on a mission, you lose it until you go on another mission. is that right? cuz if not, that stinks.

Well, thanks for the loads of squeeing and information. ;D hahah, can't wait for more.

I posted these all the same day. Just some times I edited and sometimes I posted again.

Yes, that must be why it's Saix! Square Enix is trying to keep me away from my true love!!

The magic system itself is getting better. You can get multipliers that give you more magic. The multiplier itself takes up a slot, but then it gives you more magic in return, so who is complaining? Like my current multiplier gives me three magic for each one I equip to it. Not bad. The Ethers still suck though.

Casting magic itself, I actually like. Fire is back to being a fire ball that actually seems to home in on its target. Blizzard is funny. It is in a little ice ball that flies out, stops for a moment, and then hits a target. It's a bit slow that way, but it's still pretty cool. Those are the only two I have at the moment.

And yeah, once you use an item, it's gone for good. So you have to get more. I'd like to use Hi-Potions, but that's just too pricey right now! I'm not like broke or anything because I'm cheap and only bought a few things, but I would like to hold on to money until something else comes along.

Roxas is asleep during the time that Sora is active in the castle. Or at least most of the time. He wakes up as soon as Sora is in the pod. I'm theorizing the reason he was asleep was because only one of them could be active while Sora's memories were messed up . . . but beats me. They later move Sora to Twilight Town, so he's not really in the castle the whole year, but yeah.

My current level is 5 andI have like 69 attack and 60 magic or something. And then I have 20 defense. *cough* I should probably work on that.

I saw Aladdin. Apparently sometime after Sora left, Agrabah was hit by a buncha sandstorms that messed up the town, so they are rebuilding. So THAT'S why Agrabah looks so different in Kingdom Hearts II . . . Wonder if something similar will be explained with Halloween Town?

Took another break to eat some dinner and *gasp* draw some Just Gotta pages, (I actually built up a buffer again, how did that happen?), and I took a shower. Now to start some laundry and get back to playing!

Edit: The way it's going, I'm never going to be on a team with Saix!! Ah well, I'll just force other people to buy the game so I can play with them and BE HIM!! Ultimate fan girl stalker move. Heh.

There's something trippy with Xion's hood. It's up one second, and down the next. I thought at first it was a glitch but it's too consistant. Hmm . . .

Everytime I get my panel the way I like it and it works, I get something new that I want to add! Ugh! What makes it even harder is that some panel square thingies can be linked together, but they have to be the right kind and they have to be placed in a predetermined order. Hard to explain, but you have to make sure there is enough room for them. Think like Tetris, sorta.

For a Nobody, Roxas sure is an emotional little bugger.

And you know that scene from Kingdom Hearts II? Where Roxas and Xemnas are talking and Xemnas is all like, "I've been to see him. He looks a lot like you." It's in this game too, apparently placed when Roxas was six days old or something. That scene didn't make sense before, and it sure doesn't make much more sense now! Just taken in context of what's going on, why the heck is Roxas looking for Xemnas who is sitting out in the middle of no where for no reason? And when Xemnas is talking about "him," why doesn't Roxas ask, "Who?" He questions everything else the Organization tells him!

So yeah. That scene doesn't make sense. I don't know if they will go back to it and explain more or what . . .

You know what else sorta bugs me story wise? (It's something little.) The Organization is using Roxas to gather hearts. If they defeat the Heartless, it doesn't do any good. They need to be destroyed by the Keyblade so the heart can be captured. They know this and that's why they need Roxas. But does that stop your party members from taking the final blow? Heck no, you'll be hacking away at it and then they will defeat it at the last second so the heart wouldn't be able to be captured then. Stupid guys, I thought they wanted hearts! You still get heart points it seems though so doesn't really matter game wise.

Also, they send Roxas out to gather hearts, but the mission is done after you defeat like 10 of 'em and so you would get 10 hearts that way. That's not near enough to make Kingdom Hearts! As Sora, you defeat thousands of 'em, thus getting thousands of hearts for the Organization. Roxas collecting a few here and there would have taken them forever! It's good that they got Sora back to do their dirty work then. With that, Roxas seems to move slower than Sora. Running across screens seems to take longer. Roxas also seems smaller than Sora was, in proportion to his surroundings. Meh.

I just nitpick sometimes. I love the game so far though. I can pick out the flaws but doesn't stop me from likin' it!

okay, thanks for the more info!
;D good to hear the magic system is working decently.
urm, i'm wondering, you HAVE to have friends to do mission mode? D: i mean, it doesn't seem so. or are you just wanting to play it with friends?
oooh, thanks also for the spell descriptions! xD you're getting into all the stuff i wanna know. wodner what thunder'll be like? or anyother magic? is curei n there? cuz potions are expensivish and i'd like to be able to use that magical alternative that's made items useless in KH1 and 2! xD
Stinks that ethers suck. D:
oh, leveling up.....sounds interesting. um, how do stats increase? you say your 69 attack and 60 magic or something. And then you have 20 defense. how does that work? do you get to increase the stats? it'll be uber if that's the case.
lul. tetris. i like tetris. ;D
mm. more and more is gettign clarified, and i want the game! D: i only need $10.....o.0 oiwell. ill have to wait patiently for my b-day, unless i get $10 magically before then.

I now have Thunder and Aero but haven't tried them yet. Aero says it throws enemies up in the air, and while they are up there, they take triple damage. Nice.

You can get panels that "level up" your magic. Like I have my fire and blizzard up to Lv. 4. Blizzard will now hover, hit them, hover again, and hit them again. Three times I think. Fire just does more damage, I think. You can also get Cure and stuff. But I have like a billion Potions, (you find several throughout your missions, so you don't need to worry about buying them,) so I generally use them instead of Cure. I am beginning to find more Hi-Potions as well so that cloaked Moogle ain't getting my Munny! For those anyway, I'll save 'em for like weapon upgrades and stuff.

Leveling manually takes a while, but you can get these panels that will double your level ups that you equip. So right now I am at level 19. Nice. My defense is still in the 30's. Not sure why that goes up so slowly. I am always looking for stuff that raises my defense, but there's not a lot of 'em.

I have been to Agrabah, Beast's Castle, Olympus Colesseum (or however that's spelled,) and now I've been to Halloween Town. Oh, Twilight Town too. That's your first place, actually, so . . .

Ha ha, you take Xaldin to Beast's Castle to gather information about the beast. Awesome . . .

I got my strategy guide today. I was going to be careful and not look at the last part of the story mode so I wouldn't spoil anything. Unfortunately, in the very back of the book is the beastery with details about all the enemies . . . and I seem to have accidentally spoiled what seems to be the final, or close to final, boss. There goes my theory . . . Ah well, I usually guess wrong with Kingdom Hearts stuff anyway. That's what I love about it! Keeps me guessing!

I just saw Riku kick Xion's butt. Go Riku!

I'm theorizing that Axel and Saix were friends before they were Nobodies . . .

well....
to increase stats you have to find items? D: awe.
anyway, yeah, i'd believe the saix and axel were friends. it makes sense, comparingthat in KH2 saix wanted axel dead. heh. I believe it, though.
still wondering if you NEED other people for mission mode. ^^;

heh. now i want the guidebook. D:
heh. the onyl game i've gotten a guidebooks for is for D/P.
D:
argh.

Vye Brante · Administrator Joined: 26 Mar 2007 Posts: 1223

I don't know about Mission Mode. Haven't tried it. Can't stay away from the Story Mode.

And yeah, you can only raise stats by attaching things in your Panel. It's annoying that one of the main things that raises Defense are things called Rings, but you can only have one Ring on your panel total. How cheap is that?!

I am currently Lv. 24, I think. Double level panel things help a lot. I think I will try leveling up a little more before going onward. I like to be on the safe side. The strategy guide says I am about halfway through the story. I've been playing 15 hours, so roughly 30 hours playing time, give or take extras. Not too bad.

I have no life.

I got to watch the whole video of Riku kicking Xion's butt. Voice overs and all. Heh, it was awesome. Xion is okay but . . . meh, kinda bland. Just takes away from the Roxas and Axel story that could be happening, I think. Or we could spend more time on Saix!!

Xion, get out of the Kingdom Hearts universe NOW!!!

I've been to Wonderland. Haven't done much there except fight a boss. There are a lot of bosses and mini bosses in this game. Kinda fun. A lot of them are like "recolored" versions of other Heartless or bosses you have seen before or have fought. For some reason, that doesn't bother me in the slightest.

It is annoying to be walking on your merry way and you are attacked by a Gigas Shadow. Ugh, you're annoying when you're little, and you're still annoying when you're giant!

Something they have added that I hope they keep are status condition thingies. If you have played Final Fantasy games before, you know that there are status conditions like Silence and Blind and stuff. Silence makes you unable to use magic while Blind makes your accuracy go down. Now, granted, it is annoying when a boss hits you with an attack and you go Blind and then you keep missing him . . . but I liked that they added them. Adds more of a challenge or whatever. I hope they keep them.

They have a status that the guide calls "sticky shoes" where you can't jump. Makes it annoying to hit flying bosses and whatnot. There is also a confusion type status where you run in the opposite direction that you press. When you get lit on fire, you lose health. You can also be frozen by ice and can't move. I think they are nice little additions.

I could lose the panel system. I doubt they would keep it as stats and stuff stayed the same between I and II, so I don't think I'll have to worry. Just hope I'm right.

(why should a person be happy to say that?)
heh. the stat things sound...pretty lame. D:

Vye Brante · Administrator Joined: 26 Mar 2007 Posts: 1223

Yeah, I don't know why I like them so much either . . . They just get in my way usually . . . Ah well.

I just got glide so I'm going back through all the levels and getting chests that I couldn't reach before. I've been to Neverland, (where you get Glide,) and I totally abandoned Tinkerbell. Mwahahahaha! I'm a Nobody, so why would I care anyway?

The fact that Roxas has emotions though kinda bugs me. I know that with Sora still around, he is still connected to a heart and stuff. But he's still a Nobody and should have feelings. I think the main reason he has them though is because it makes it easier for the writers to explain what he's thinking and the player can relate to him better. I think it'd be cooler if he was a total Nobody with no feelings though. But maybe that's just me.

My copy of the game came with that cool slip cover. The one I took a picture of before. But the ones we got in at Wal-Mart don't have that cover. Weird. Guess that's just another reason I'm glad I ordered mine!
