Seems some copies of the English 2.8 have leaked out, not too sure how. Not posting it here, up to you to find it, but I just watched Back Cover in English and oh lordy...

What did you think?

Without spoiling nothing, of course.

I will sum it up in the 2 words that I said when I finished it, nothing more. "Dammit Nomura".

Oh my lord. This thing will probably turn my brain inside out.

I saw that movie this is my reaction.



I have so many questions now.

I heard Back Cover completely spoiled the end of Unchained X US is so far behind on story quests too

I just saw the movie
please excuse me as i rethink everything

The ending is relatively known thanks to the original browser KHX. Unchained is just supposed to add more and take a little longer to get there.

WTHHHHHHHHHH IS GOING ON

IS THIS MOVIE REALLY THAT IMPORTANT WTH

We can´t say for sure.

In the topic I have seen too much spoilers in one day, I know too much, but I´ll keep my mouth shut. Anyway the game is only 12 days away... And i don´t really play Unchained X so... But i don know a little of X [chi].

I'm fine with that since I've started to get drained on KHUX.

One more week until 2.8

This is going to be a long, LONG week for me

Found English dubbed cutscenes for 0.2 youtube. Pretty interesting and answers a fair amount of questions.

^ So you pretty much spoiled yourself for all the new content in 2.8?

Cool.

I don't own a PS4, if I waited to play like normal it would take months, possibly a year or so. The plan was always to watch it on youtube.

Oh, that makes sense.

Sorry if I seemed to jump the gun on ya there.

ONE.

MORE.

DAY.

If you need something to pass the time, this guy gives a 3 hour university lecture on the lore of Kingdom Hearts.

He gets some stuff wrong but it's mostly spot on (and he's humourous about it).

I´m better at reading the KH lore, lol. Being Serious Tomorrow is the big day for KH fans and i can post Spoilerish stuff but not here.

Launch trailer!

IM PICKING UP THIS GAME TONIGHT AND IM SO FREAKING PUMPED

Played a bit of 0.2 BBS so far and I'm loving it. Still haven't reached the end just yet though.

I might go more in depth later, but while I have a few niggles with it, this is basically the closest to KH1FM's exploration and puzzles/platforming, and KH2FM's combat mechanics together we have ever gotten. It's a huge step in the right direction for the KH series. The game is also quite challenging on Proud Mode, and Critical Mode is still left as an unlockable.

Playing on a PS4 Pro on a 4K TV is also amazing. The frame rate is unlocked on PS4 Pro, with the game averaging between 50-60 FPS. It's so smooth and the resolution bump combined with the Unreal Engine 4's graphical fidelity makes this look really nice, save for a few instances of low quality textures. Most of the textures are great though. You can even see the pores on Aqua's skin.

Also, I just want to give Aqua a hug.

Here's a nice screenshot I took.

So I played DDD for a good hour, and the combat with the flowmotion and the dream eaters are pretty overwhelming.

For those who played it, what do you think about DDD and is there anything I should know going forward? Without spoiling, ofc.

THE STORY WILL NOT MAKE SENSE YOUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH

Everyone hates the final boss (you'll know it when you fight it, the mechanics "suck"), but I loved it. Also, use the Ability Link function with your Dream Eaters.

Agreed on it not making sense. Things get even more complicated than normal this game and final world especially turns into a headache that needs an extra playthrough or overall a little time to figure out.

Story not making sense? I mean this is KH why should I be surprised lol

Literally this. After 5 playthroughs, the final world/climax of the plot still confuses me.

On another subject, I've become addicted to Unchained X (again.) I can't stop playing it especially with the 0AP event going on :(

Should I get into Unchained X? The story seems lack luster, the gameplay looks barren, and I really hate free-to-play games.

It's fun once you finish grinding to a certain degree where you can do most of the events. Start now to get as much of the story done since there's no AP costs for missions. Story is lackluster in the beginning but begins to pick up later on.

KH2.8 got an update that fixes and improves upon some issues in 0.2 BBS.

BBS 0.2 Patch 1.02 Changes

Command Menu Changes
-Changed the customize menu making it easier to cast magic/use items (you can "tap" L1+face button and it works)
-Spells now glow Yellow when the next cast will consume all of your MP (exactly like KH2)

General "Quality of Life" Changes
-MP Consumption was changed (Firaga 10->8 Blizzaga/Thundaga 15->12)
-Camera Speed increased
-Cartwheel, Reflect Guard, and Air Slide come out faster while in the middle of combos
-You can Cartwheel/Attack out of Counterblast MUCH FASTER
-Using Guard after a jump is MUCH faster

Difficulty Mode Changes
-Critical Mode: Damage Output increased (this damage buff is insane, it's comparable to Beginner Mode damage)
-Proud Mode: Damage taken from enemies decreased

Boss Changes
-Devil's Wave/Demon Tower: Now glows red for a full second before attacking (This is HUGE THANK YOU SE)
-Final Devil's Wave/Demon Tide: Health decreased from 12 bars to 10 bars
-Darkside in the Zodiac Mirror Boss Rush lost 2 HP bars.

Holy **** BLESS SE

This patch basically fixed most of my issues with the gameplay, and even before the patch I really enjoyed it. Now, the combat feels almost as fun as KH2. And since KH3 is gonna be based off what we have now, that really excites me for that game.

Basically, you can call this patch the "We made Aqua God Tier and made Demon's Tower/Tide into decent fights rather than a chore" patch.

It comes in a normal PS4 case inside the Limited Edition Box.

The only reason the Limited Edition box exists is so they can display the included Disney pin on the back of the box through a little plastic window on the back of the box.

The American Limited Edition box has a different cover art to the normal cover art (Europe's LE just uses the the normal box art on the LE box), but the PS4 case inside still has the normal box-art even in NA.

It's pretty much a standard copy thrown inside a glossy LE box and with the pin included in there too.

Just bought the game and already want to sell it lol, once I platinum DDD, throwing this bad boy on eBay. Wasn't worth the $60 and should've just waited.

Yeah if I played DDD already, I would probably wait for a price drop.

But since I didn't play DDD, the $60 becomes more realistic.

I've gotten like 20 or so hours out of 0.2 BBS alone, lol.

About 37 hours out of DDD. And then the hour from Back Cover.

I'm going to play 0.2 at least 5 times in a row straight because holy Aqua's ASS THIS GAME IS GREAT

Thing is I played DDD. A lot. I played through it 7 times on 3DS, but I ended up buying it just to experience 0.2 and DDD in HD. I love 0.2 but God damn the final boss is no joke.

Main thing that helps with it is that you can skip the second phase if you stall on using Wayfinder. When Mickey starts riding the swarm, the Wayfinder Situation Command appears for 30 seconds. Instead of using it as soon as it shows up, keep piling on damage while Mickey rides around on it, as it will not attack you at all during this time. Then, when the Situation Command is close to disappearing, use it to lock the swarm in the chains. Then, instead of mashing Attack like the game expects you to, use up your Shotlock on the swarm while it's bound by the chains for massive damage. If you want to use another gauge of it, use an Elixer. You can also pile on Magic attacks for Magic finishers. Another way is to mash Attack as normal, but when the Finish Situation Command pops up, don't use it. Keep mashing and I think you can keep resetting the Command if the animations time correctly.

You can't actually finish the boss off during the first phase, but you can get it down to 1HP this way. Then the second phase starts as normal, but since it's at 1HP, you just have to hit it once and it's done.

Here's a more complete and thorough guide for the whole fight if you need it.



Also, make sure you've downloaded the 1.02 patch, since that flat out makes the combat a lot smoother. This boss in particular also got a health nerf on the patch.

Well, there was a gameplay segment that showed off Traverse Town, so I think it's a safe bet that we're going to visit it sometime.

As for daybreak town, I don't keep up with the Unchained story but I do know it takes place a looong time ago. Would a town like that still have people living in it after all that time?

Daybreak Town is the original world. If it even still exists, in theory it could be a place where survivors from the War lived on and had families. Of course this is assuming that Daybreak Town didn't end up becoming the Keyblade Graveyard itself.

Nah, I doubt Daybreak Town became the Graveyard if we're going off the ending of X[chi] which showed the Badlands turned into the Graveyard.

how we feelin'?

I finally saw the X [Chi] Back Cover story (Terrible title by the way but what's new?) because I can't afford to buy all these games coming out this season but after watching it, I feel like some scenes were missing.


I know the people who only want III after playing I and II but ignore every other installment will absolutely hate III but you need to play all other games (I.5, II.5 and II.8) before getting into III and they'll have loads of time since Nomura likes for his games to take forever to make.

P.S. I like referring to Ansem (Seeker of Darkness) as Billy Zane 'cus he looks like Billy Zane. Makes me wonder how Square-Enix never used Billy Zane again despite having Gary Busey in the new Hitman?

I thought this video was kinda perfect.
