Yep she's a full time dancing princess now unfortunately. Shoulda just had her dual wield frying pans.
So I got the 30 Lucky Emblems which should get me the
epilogue when I beat the game? And how do I fight the secret boss? I heard mention that there is one in the game but I have no idea how to get to it or if there are certain requirements.
Replica Riku just hitched a ride inside Riku after COM
Unrelated, but the flan game in Arendelle is horribly easy.
So if that's the one from CoM. Xehanort decided to make a second Replica Riku, but this time make him evil? I swear Nomura is just laughing thinking all the ways he can make this as weird as possible
That's Actually Time Travelling OG Replica Riku from the time he was evil (ie before the Namine Brainwash) If I understood correctly
I have made it to the mansion in Twilight Town. Sure, I don't have much experience with the series--just played through KH2 100% on the PS2, beat DDD on the 3DS, and played only some of 358/2 before getting bored with it--so I have loose knowledge on what the main overarching plot is, but I'm really enjoying this game! I love how the worlds aren't just rooms and are now more complicated in their geometry and makeup. The design on offer is interesting finally. :)
I actually like the minigame, but I specifically dislike how they introduce it to you? The stakes/strategy of the first two variations feels incredibly unclear... because they're weirdly making you play to a certain number of points, instead of having a timer as they normally do afterward.
I'm guessing it was so they could give you the big rewards without misleading you about what your score would normally get you, but it felt needlessly worse to play than it could have been.

Alright I is over I beat KH3! Loved the game and it had my favorite worlds out of all the other games in the series in the end. So I am super happy about that! OST was awesome as well and also this game looked fucking amazing. Unfortunately I didn't like the final boss sequence as much as I did compared to KH2 so in that regard KH3 ain't coming out on top. Overall though I think this is my favorite game in the series to date. Can't wait to see where it goes next!
Thanks! I skipped a lot of the beginning cutscenes so I must have missed that explanation.
Lmao that's really it huh. Totally felt like I played a version of the game when I was in 100 acre woods.
I feel like I'm in a minority when I Say that I really like Rutger Hauer's Xehanort performance... but I still have to cede that it's weird for Xehanort to suddenly have a strong Dutch accent lol
he grew on me. it was just jarring going from such a strong performance from nemoy (loved his gruff, grizzled voice, it was so perfect for Xehanort) to a kinda broken english, old-man voice. i mean it is better on the second playthrough imo but yeah nemoy would've killed it. loved his VA work.
In Arandelle right now and I had a stupid ass ear to ear grin and tears in my eyes
was fucking incredible. The love put into this game is out of this world. Kudos, Square. You deserve every sale.
the second I heard "Let it go" begin to play and until the end of that scene. To see that iconic song from the movie being so flawlessly represented in this game but with cuts to Sora, Donald and Goofy
So I had some free time today and made these for the community. I figured it would be a fun thing to overlay on other photos.
Can we talk about how much cooler KH2 Riku looked than any other Riku design?
He looked alright in KH3, but this one was just too good. (He looked better before his random haircut, though...)

Fuck games that force you to endure back to back cutscenes and action segments before you can reach a save point. I had to lose probably 20 minutes of progress including getting to the Pirates world because of this bullshit.
Arendelle's world theme is gorgeous
Arendelle's world theme is gorgeous
This one's my favorite (spoiler tagging it just in case because location spoilers):
Kind of sad that the first time I encountered difficulty on my level 1 Proud file was at the Arendelle final boss, mostly because of the wonky camera and some odd hitboxes. Ate some food for the first time across my 2 playthroughs and that trouble already went away.
Oh my goodness what a freaking letdown that in Arandelle
What happened here? Something tells me the behind the scenes reasoning is more interesting than what we ended up with.
Christ.
the party member that joined my cause was, of all Frozen characters available, freaking Marshmallow!
Seriously, in all my speculations the moment this world was announced I thought of a number of combinations of probable party members but not once did I think the fucking hulk snowman (who in the movie is seen only causing trouble to the heroes). Hell I thought I might get NO Frozen party members before thinking I'd get freaking Marshmallow. How cool would it have been to have Elsa casting Blizzagas with me? Or even Kristoff and Ana fighting some Heartless!
How come we can team up with Woody, Buzz, Sully, Mike, Hercules and even another Disney princess (Rapunzel) but in Arandelle we get third rate character who barely has lines in the movie?

I for one I'm surprised they didn't change the green triangle prompts that appear above chests and other context sensitive places for the Xbox One version. I thought the could change the green triangle into a yellow "Y" figure but i guess not.
16 hours and already in the 5th Disney World? Trust me, you are definitely NOT taking your time. You're going straight through. Stop and enjoy the scenery a little!
Arandelle peaked early. Most of it after that was went nowhere but downhill in more ways than one.
Seriously Marshmallow is the party member that joins? A third rate Frozen character with hardly any lines? Fanfiction will be the only way we get Sora fighting alongside Elsa's Blizzagas now.
Can we talk about how much cooler KH2 Riku looked than any other Riku design?
He looked alright in KH3, but this one was just too good. (He looked better before his random haircut, though...)
Yeah, Riku looked cool in the hooded organization coat, and when he had the blindfold on with that, and when he looked like Ansem SoD.
I don't remember if he had another outfit on KH2, but if he did it was probably so awful I blocked out from my memory.
I hate his KH2 outfit because of the gap between his shirt and his pants. It's just so off
Can someone please explain to me Maleficent and Pete's role in this?
They spend the entire game looking for a black box and it seems like they have absolutely no bearing on the plot with them being barely featured. It's confusing to me why they're even in the game if it didn't even matter.
Still amazed at how there literally is nothing after the main story in terms of content. Seriously.....if you don't craft the ultima weapon before the last stretch of the game you basically get sparingly time to actually enjoy it.
Oh, that's disappointing. It would have been nice to see them more involved in the main plot.
I'm waiting to see if they add Critical + more content before I even bother farming for that, if not I won't on just Proud mode.
It's actually not bad to get it at all. The easiest out of all the games outside the original KH2. The bistro ordeal takes much more time if you forgot ingredients along the way.
From what I understood, Disney restricted Square heavily.
And I'm done with the game! It only took literally the entire afternoon, but it's finished (honestly I didn't believe the game was finished myself at first, I was expecting one more form)
I'm a bit disappointed they didn't keep track of deaths, that number would have been easily in the hundreds. I was surprised to see Riskcharge as "most used command" since I barely used dark Sora (I guess the number was inflated since everytime I got that form, I'd use all the charges and go straight to Finisher so I could fight normally).
Anyway, the final final gauntlet took ages to complete. The Xemnas, Dansem and Teenage Xehanort fight took way too many retries. We got really lucky, as Teenage Xehanort died first, then Xemnas and then poor KH1 Ansem was left for last. Xemnas was a real bastard on the Xemnas / Ansem fight though.
The section after with the 13 uh Heartless (still not sure what was going on there) also took a while. I kind of liked that section, as you can approach the 13 enemies at your own pace and the level layout has a lot of health pickups, but it was way too much to do all of that one go so I just brute forced the fight with Aeroga spam and Hi-Ethers (if you go to one of the encounters where the entire group spawns, and you time things just right, you can trap all of them with Aeroga. I basically did that, then used the Hi-Ethers to keep them trapped over and over and it worked, most of them died with only a few easy stragglers left. (Also just want to mention that I feel stupid for not using Aeroga until that encounter, it seems ridiculously good)
After that there was only the Armored Xehanort and the Xehanort with the Chi-Blade. The Armored Xehanort fight seemed to be way, way harder than the actual final fight imo, as his strings are really tricky to counter (especially if you're not fighting in midair, which seems to be the intended way to fight). The first section was the hardest, the second section was a breeze (it was an underwater section, so basically not all that difficult) and the third section was just more gimmicky than anything.
The final Xehanort fight ended up being kinda fun? You can get into ridiculous guard / guard attack shenanigans with Xehanort and his keyhole clones. The fight isn't all that bad, as guarding nullifies almost everything, include his ridiculous chi-blade attack, and Xehanort's attacks are actually really weak (like I don't die in one or two hits unless it's the Chi Blade section). The only thing that was really hard was the dark Sora section. You don't get a checkpoint and learning how to fight him is hard when you have to replay the whole section. I ended up cheesing most of the fight with Ariel because I just *needed* to finish the game at that point and I was getting sick of replaying the dark Sora section, but it honestly wasn't that bad.
And I guess that's it; Level 1 Proud is finished! That in-depth post is gonna have to wait 'til later though. I almost might try my hand at any post-game bosses there happen to be.

Just finished it. As far as story goes, it's a great finale for the Xehanort Saga and really loved the ending. Best level design with ease. Toy Story especially was insane.
Now combat and boss fights on the other hand... yeah it's it's an Osaka team game alright. This is their third game and they still don't get it.
Moves and animations aren't as satisfying as the ones in 2, and why most of transformed weapons have that shitty animation where sora spins like an idiot? do they really have no idea how to make a long combo without having sora spinning?
And the lack of superbosses stinks. Watched a video of what appears to be the only secret boss in the game and I'm not sure if I'll ever fight him. doesn't look fun or interesting.
Good game, but a flawed sequel to one of the greatest action games out there. Honestly wish SE will give the IP to another team. I doubt the combat will be any worse lol.

How do they handle the platforming segments then? I always revisit everything for collectibles and I'm sure there's something I missed in that area.
Are there any exp-boost items in this game? Playing through the collections leading up to this game, feels like those kind of items were "final mix" things, huh?
There's food combination that will give you extra xp effect I think
