Kingdom Hearts III - Critical mode/NG+ update coming tomorrow [update: now live]
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
I don't get this on my end. :(
Welcome back dark souls
You start with basically full mobility (3 air dashes, all the flowmotion stuff, etc), a bunch of reprisals and counters.
Three new abilities to start:
Critical Counter (reprisals do more damage if you time your block to the instant the enemy attacks instead of leading it)
Critical Converter (disables Attraction Flow, excluding story mandatory ones)
Critical Charge (Situation commands you earn from Keyblade combos charge faster if you're out of MP)
Half HP & MP, balance changes, some new abilities (haven't seen a list yet) supposedly geared at more technical/tactical play, some enemy/boss behaviours changed.
I just got this when I booted up my 100% save.
Did you get this for Loading your normal save or a New Game+?
Also, do you mean Platinum 100% or did you actually have to get all treasure chests from the Gummi ships, etc?

I just got this when I booted up my 100% save.
I'm curious what this is for lol
Hahaha, wow. Every individual shadow will be as difficult as a Demon Tide!
Already died 3 times thanks to the fire things in Olympus lol
That prepare and retry feature is going to get mileage for sure.

Thanks.
Though honestly, I feel like Critical mode needs more than just stat and ability changes. The combat seems almost entirely designed around room clears. Be interesting to try this out when I have time.
Yeah, that's been standard the last couple of games as long as you don't hit continue instead of retry.
I've actually died like 8 times against the tutorial boss, holy shit lol. Maybe I should have gone with Vitality/Guardian at the start lol.
For the record, I don't know if you just need a cleared save file to get Proof of Promises, or if the requirement is something else. Maybe from getting every lucky emblem based on the item description?
I hate that I can't play / update my PS4 right now
God yes to the bolded
I can't wait to Counter Kick Skuld's stupid face

I meant I don't know the requirements to get the item. I don't know if the item itself does anything.
Even better it's a legit gameplay style decision.
If you activate the ability you don't get attraction commands, but get form changes twice as fast
Haven't played / updated my copy of the game but apparently:
Taking this back. When you get ultima form, shit changes real quick. I'm the captain now.
