Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix comments.

Okay, I've been playing this for a while on proud and it was largely the same until I found Zexion's absent silhouette and decided to fight. I have yet to beat him because he is one of the most poorly designed bosses I have ever seen. The entire gimmick of his fight is to trap you in the Lexicon, which would be alright if the Lexicon world wasn't gimmicked to all hell. Not only are books fucking everywhere making it nigh impossible to dodge them but your controls are replaced with commands that give you health, money, drive, magic and what have you but only two commands are actually going to help you win. One of which destroys all of Zexion's books for about 3 seconds and the other one gives you back your controls. However you get these abilities in a random through a few pages of commands which you press triangle to flip through. Zexion also has a super power fire attack that he doesn't telegraph well so it comes out of nowhere and kills you and finally, he has the stupid spotlight thing which is based entirely on guessing where he's going to land. You have a 1/3 chance of getting it right and failing it gets you hit with meteors.

Jesus christ, I hope the other silhouettes aren't this bad.

Why aren't you playing on Critical?

Real men play it on Critical with EXP Zero equipped.

And yeah, the other silhouettes are pretty unexciting boss fights.

I wanted to get a feel for the new bosses before I go into critical.

This is a joke topic right? You guys don't actually play Kingdom Hearts

lol says the guy who likes FFXIII

I can't wait to fight Lexaeus, from the videos I've seen, his looks like just straight up fun.

Hey hey. At least FFXIII has hotties in it.

Larxene and Yuffie are in this game too, I'll have you know.

Oh and I guess all of Org XIII counts since they all look like chicks.

Alright, I'm going to have to deal with Zexion later, this battle is too fucked right now for me to do with the health I have. I should just come back and try everytime I finish a new world. Most likely after I get wisdom so I can use Quick Run and his spotlights become less random chance.

Can't you get dodge roll in FM+? That's gotta be better than quick run, except for Sephiroth I guess.

You don't get dodge roll until you get the Limit Form which I don't think I get for a long time. Plus, Dodge Run is meant to be more of a quick dash which I need for this fight more than dodge roll.

I like quick run better than dodge roll for the most part. They're both handy anyway.

Dodge Roll is good for dodging, Quick Run is good for closing distance between you and your enemy.

Levelling up Wisdom Form is ridiculously annoying to do at the beginning of the game.

And he goes down like a bitch after I get Quick Run, what a shock.

Quick Run does a pretty good job at dodging as well. i.e Sephiroth's meteor rain.

Sephiroth's meteor rain goes in a specific area, of course it's easy to dodge with just about anything.

At Port Royal now, apparently Larxene's Absent Silhouette is in Isla De Muerta.

Alright, Larxene's kicking my ass but her fight is fun unlike Zexion's so I'm willing to not bitch about it. Anyways, it's nice to see that Christmas Town finally has some semblance of individuality instead of just being another place inside Halloweentown.

Not related to KH2 FM but The Unknown boss from BBS FM is one of the best boss fights I have ever played in a video game.

Know what's even better? Limit Form. Limit Form makes Sephiroth your bitch.

That's because they weakened his rape rope(which was originally totally broken for us and made the experience a lot more luck-based and annoying despite the easy fight pattern). Apparently even SE thought it was too retarded for the Japs to be subjected to.

It's a really fun boss fight that's intense, I probably would've spent all night playing it had I not had to sleep/

I wish they would have released BBS on PS3 and same with 3D.
