Dude just please stop, "the true hardcore"? We didn't even know if DLC would be coming. Someone like me who has played the series all the way through multiple times and have a strong emotional attachment to the series isn't a hardcore fan? Hell I even spent hundreds of dollars on the orchestra tickets.
Just becasue the game doesn't have critical mode doesn't make it a trash game. I've never even played KH games on critical before. Doesn't mean I'm a fake fan.
I
In what form? What is wrong with that game? Is it the critical mode missing or you mean something else?

Yeah that's probably more likely, but I feel there's enough empty space near the Olympus gates that you could have a couple characters standing around there like they did in KH2
Just felt super bizarre to me that they kept all the music from previous coliseums and brought back the Herc world but didn't do a coliseum again
Just in time to make the experience fresh again
true, everyone of you who already played are cazualz. We hardcorez wait for dem difficulties
The true hardcore fan purchases a japanese copy of the game they already bought because the true final mix experience includes not having a western release.
The Hardcore Way.
The Hardcore Way.
I'd actually be ok with them recoloring the enemies again, I felt like most of them didn't pop out as much with the new art style.
Difficulty is the biggest issue + all the inveitable DLC that's missing
Again, I have a different defintion of hardcore. I respect every KH fan but I'm talking about a special group of hardcore fans that doesn't want to play KH III in this fake/incomplete form.
I could never enjoy a game with such a low difficulty, releasing the game in such a condition is an insult to the fanbase imo.
I don't remember. Though saying it's big implies it being paid imo.
The DLC structure is no news actually.
Nomura already stated in a revious interview before release that the will be a big "Final Mix" style DLC
which will be paid and some free updates along the way, probably Critical mode for example
Good to hear that they didn't want to just shit out any old Critical Mode and are taking time to tweak it accordingly.
Birth by Sleep Final Mix added three new optional bosses, a new keyblade, a bunch of unversed missions, a new command style and a whole ass new playable area.
Nice, I prefer this approach. Just have one big dlc release as oppossed to just drip feeding everything.
He said he didn't want to do a season pass specifically, not that he didn't want to do DLC.
I would really want the collosium to be in Monsters Inc.
Bro it's not a fake form. It's the finished form of the game. Nobody except you is insulted that it's on the easier side. Kingdom Hearts 2 didn't include critical at launch but was that a fake game?
That still sounds better than the joke that Proud is.
I can't imagine how much final mix will have to change to fix this mess. Like, even if combat is salvaged, story and world selection probably will remain the same, so why even bother ?
At the time I didn't know KH2 was getting a final mix version. I know better now.
Again, no problem with you guys having fun with the game.
"Even if II gets a final mix that fixes the combat and adds Dodge Roll we'll still have Atlantica, linear rooms for worlds, reaction commands and a story where Riku gets healed via explosion to the face and the most convenient Deus ex Machina ending ever. Why even bother?"
That's you in 2006.
Christ, the hot takes in this thread. Yeah, the game's too easy, and the Frozen world sucks, but it's not a bad game. It's like people in the thread never played Dream Drop Distance to know what a bad Kingdom Hearts is actually like.
I am hoping the critical mode is more like the KH II: FM ciritical mode and less like the KH: BBS Critical mode.
But I'm not a hardcore fan becasue I'm not playing on critical in this fake game?
No one senible is expecting Final Mix to "save" anything but the combat balance, which is enough for nost people, given the pedestal KH2 Final Mix tends to sit on.
Hahaha, true :D
If you enjoyed it, all the power to you!
I haven't started my original play-through with the other games yet. Guess i don't have to rush through them.
Well for some you're a hardcore fan for others you aren't.
To me you're a big fan of KH but I don't know if I would call you hardcore though. I think the true hardcore has no problem waiting a bit longer to experience the full version of the game.
I knew as soon as I finished the game that stuff like...
I do kinda hope that there's a survival mode included based on the...
Actually being able to play as Roxas/Ventus/anyone else was gonna be DLC'd. It made no sense to have all of these playable characters from the series in there and not have you play as them at all... even when that Aqua/Vanitas fight pretty much preps the player for using characters other than Sora in battle.
I do kinda hope that there's a survival mode included based on the...
Keyblade graveyard battle against the Heartless army. Could be fun to have an endless version of that where various modifiers (No attractions/team attacks/magic etc) get applied.
I never expected Critical Mode to be confirmed this quickly. It is so goddamned good to hear they're not just tweaking damage values and calling it a day. Can't believe that the thing I'm most hype for in 2019 is an extra difficulty setting but here I am lol.
Also I don't have the biggest hopes for the DLC but can we get something not Sora focused? More Riku sections and more sections with the other party members available would be more than enough for me (though I'd love something really crazy like playable Kairi or something)
Wait this wasn't the original color scheme for that boss? ...Man, I knew something felt off about this boss when I replayed KH1.5 last year.

What don't you love this?
WTF were they thinking?

Yeah the Final Mix versions(which is what the HD collections used) recolored the enemies.
So everyone in the KH OT here isn't a hardcore fan becasue they didn't wait for a version we had no idea that would actually be coming? To me a hardcore fan would be someone who plays every game regardless of the quality/difficulty as soon as they can.
A hardcore fan plays both versions of the game. Not just one.
This "true hardcore fans" thing you're pushing is really lame. It's fine that you care so much about a harder difficulty and the extras in the Final Mix, but putting yourself on some pedestal looking down on others for enjoying the game as it is...kind of embarrassing to be honest.
Anyways, happy to hear about critical mode coming. Wish you could change the difficulty mid game, but I wonder if that has to do with how the secret ending is handled on each mode.
It doesn't really matter if I enjoyed it or not. The "why bother" sentiment is the part I'm taking issue with. This is one of Square's best-selling games in a decade, why WOULDN'T they support it post-launch with DLC?
I admit I completely forgot about the additional Aqua episode. That was cool.
Not sure a couple of horribly balanced bosses and the rest qualifies as a fuckton of content though.
