It's best to make a sweep through the worlds and grab all the stickers and reports before beating the final boss of each scenario. If you get them afterwards, you'll need to beat the final boss again for it to register towards unlocking the bonus episodes and secret ending.

That's not true at all in final mix. He can just get the stickers and the secret episode will unlock.

One of the saddest and most brilliant lines in gaming history, and I'm not even doing a bit. Roxas' only concept of love and friendship summarised so perfectly. The pain he's going through and he doesn't even understand why.

Sure, but I have the same qualms with it as I do with the FFX laughing scene. It really works in context but it's just too goofy a line not to notice despite the gravitas. I'm a sucker for Xion though so of course I felt it.

Here's what I gathered from various sources but this is copypasted from the wiki
  • Standard Mode - Complete the Final Episode, complete the Sticker Album with Terra, Aqua, and Ventus, and obtain the Keyslinger in-game trophy.
  • Proud Mode - Complete the Final Episode and complete the Sticker Album with Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.
  • Critical Mode - Complete the Final Episode.
The stickers are worth getting anyway since Rhythm Mixer is the best style. Not to mention they're not that tedious to collect.

The perfect Kingdom Hearts between II and III would be one with BbS's importance to the plot, 358's character work and coded's fun gameplay.

Alright, made some progress in BBS before I hit the sack for the evening. Managed to beat the unversed in Radiant Garden which was a little tough since I couldn't use d links. Also made it through the boss fight outside of the gates which was obviously a cool connection to the previous games!


So far my take is that Terra is a total dumbass but it's making for lots of plot so keep going I guess?

I stopped after Disney Town and when I made it to the Coliseum for now. Supposed to be icy out tomorrow so I'll probably have a good bit of time to play.
OP, how did you feel about Xion and her fate in 358/2 days?

Appropriately tragic regarding her fate. I dunno, I don't seem to be as high on 358/2 as other people. I'm really digging BBS so far though

If you're enjoying BBS with fucking Terra you'll love Ven and Aqua

I loved BBS. I think it's my favorite, even more than KH2FM. And, yeah, if you like Terra, you'll love Ven and especially Aqua.

Recommendation: Do as little in Disney Town as possible. Couldn't stand going there with any of the characters.

The next time you play I suggest going to the Mirage Arena and doing the "Monster of the Deep" match. Don;t worry about beating it, I just want to know your reaction to it.

Just finished Terra's part! That last fight was one of the best in the series IMO. Tough and fair
The Lingering Will moment is so goddam cool (I don't think you beat him in KH2FM - but you did at least see him yeah? (the secret boss being from the next game is one of the absolute coolest things KH does, and I really hope the KH3 DLC gives us that again)). Just make sure you continue your game now instead of starting a new one.

Human size bosses in BbS are the exact opposite of fair. There are no actual openings and no real way to punish them.
I dunno, for this one I strafed, then if he did his shots of energy at me, fire surged under it which takes a ton of even boss health, so I put like 4 of those on the command tree. The rest is just parry, retaliate and heal

What did you think of the story? As we mentioned Terra is by far the weakest of the trio's

But not gonna lie, the way it all comes together to get to Lingering Will alone in the wasteland is awesome.

I mean yeah, surges work cause they make you invincible. The main strategy for pretty much every boss in he game is to equip a deck full of thuder surges (the best one) and spam them. As far as parries go, they're too risky. Sometimes it staggers the boss, sometimes the boss just keeps attacking through it and you just eat shit.

I've been rewatching BBS cutscenes and man Leonard Nimoy is so good. Every Xehanort line is golden. RIP

His replacement in KH3 is just ok...

Nothing memorable compared to the absolute joy emanating from each of Nimoy's lines

I don't think I can quote anything from his KH3 actor
Yeah I can quote only one moment from then and of course rip to Rutger Hauer as well. I thought he did a decent job but there was no following Nimoy.

It's crazy because he's voiced by Rutger Hauer in KH3:

Who also unfortunately passed away late last year. It's nuts how much talent they've been able to cast for Ansem / Xehanort (Billy Zane, Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, Rutger Hauer, Richard Epcar).

Y'all really don't feel anything when Rutgernort says
I HAVE DONE IT...

Because that line is forever burned in my head lol

AND the cold, uncaring "if you survive that long" right as the Triple Nort fight starts too

For me it's-
"COME KINGDOM HEARTS" and "You require motivation".

Also, holy shit, Rutger Hauer voices in KH3? That's awesome.


One of the things that's drawn and kept me in is the amazing quality of VA for the most part. Freaking Christopher Lee in the original was amazing

OP remember to grab a guide and quickly get the 4 or so Reports and all the hidden stickers after you beat each save. It's really quick and easy.

That way you will swiftly transition from Aqua to the Final Episode instead of having all the plot momentum freeze because you gotta go find stickers

Must be becoming a huge fanboy of the series because I pretty much mark out every time King Mickey shows up. Teaming up with him just now as Ventus ruled

I think it says something to their handling of him that he shows up more and more frequently as the series goes on but never manages to lose that luster despite having hours of screentime in some games lol

Hell, my favorite Mickey moment is in the KH3 endgame

Yeah, KH really has a star studded cast. Did you notice that Eraqus is voiced by Mark Hamill?

Yup! the man himself. So great.

Yeah so far he's shown up just enough for it to always be awesome. I really enjoyed the few times on KH critical boss fights where when you die he shows up to help. Also dug his design in the black hooded organization XIII style jacket

I didn't know Rutger voiced Xehanort lol.

I actually met him a few years ago, he didn't live too far from here and saw him at a store. I do think Nimoy was a better Xehanort though.

Radiant Garden in Birth by Sleep is full of really neat call forwards to the rest of the series, and it's great.

I'm excited for you long time fans that the KH3 DLC is dropping. I wish I was there with y'all!

I'm progressing pretty quickly through Ventus' side of things in BBS.I'm taking some time to abuse mini on the big enemies in Wonder Land so that I can level up a bit. Was feeling underleveled for sure.
