Haha will be so nostalgic to play this game again...reminds me of high school, when i had the Evanescence CD playing on loop while I battled and battled and tried to go up levels...and finally beat Sephiroth. Would have beaten this game 100% except for some reason I just couldnt seem to finish the Aladdin mini game.... well now on to round 2!

Anyone else agree that this is the best HD port in current gen?

Extremely impressed and brought up when I was at AWX that its a good indication that the FFX HD is going be epic!

Kingdom Hearts in HD is GLORIOUS

@ Posty and Solar - Agreed! its EPIC!! Seriously hope they get cracking on 2.5 ReMIX!!

It's nice finally playing Final Mix (and soon Re:CoM); I've had my eyes on it since it was first released in Japan.

Loving the game and playing it wireless with no cord. Yeah agreed if this looks this good then OMW FFX/X-2 is going to be AMAZING!!! My fav FF game in the series!!! CMON Oct 18, bring Tidus and Yuna home to me!

Actually played quite a bit yesterday.

Lock the keyholes to Deep Jungle, Wonderland and Traverse Town.
Currently in Agrabah after winning the Phil cup.

So awesome!!

Is the build up to the ending in Final Mix completely different to the PS2 game? It has been a few years since I last played the PS2 version but I don't remember the End of the World level at all that is in Final Mix... and the weird Devil Boss in a volcano as well

It has been ten years
But there is additional scenes and one additional fight that relates to KH2 but other than that its almost exactly the same.


So I completed the game on Normal and then went for the beginner run to do it without using a continue, no changing equipment and under 15 hours completed.

All went smoothly other than my unchanging armour trophy not popping
I never change my equipment so I'm kind of upset

I was trying not to feel old, ok

I got there last night and did not recognize the level at all.... or even that boss.... either my memory is really bad or it has just been that long

I've been playing on normal and going for the no continue trophy and as much of the others as possible, all good so far, will go on beginner for the speed run and unchanging armour afterward.

@Solar

So what I learnt from the unchanging equipment trophy is don't go anywhere near that menu, don't highlight anything just ignore the equipment sub-menu. Play from start to finish with what you default with because I never change my weapons but I shuffled Donald and Goofy's accessories and that I I've now accepted to be the problem.

Completed the game on easy in 6hrs 40mins @ lvl 45
Completed the game on Normal in 17hrs @ lvl 53

So im guessing on Hard you'll need 10+ levels extra to make it through.
Just stock up on elixirs

@Posty
When I first started I tried it on Proud mode, got to Traverse Town, 2nd District and was taken out with 3 swipes from Shadows.... Shadows!! Felt really useless....

My Normal mode is just touching on 24 hours, but that's because I'm clearing as much as possible... all weapons, dalmations, trinity's, colisuem cups, item synthesis, maximum level, optional bosses. Currently on Level 56 trying to find the newer Items for synthesis like the Fury Stone, Serenity Power etc.

Yeah, lol

Proud is no joke

On my proud save file I've been farming shadows on destiny island just before you need to head into the cave behind the waterfall to trigger the boss fight.

There is about 110 exp from shadows each time you enter and exit the beachside cabin because I got the same issue when I entered Treverse Town.. just got owned

Anyone know what all the mini games are to get that Trophy?

Got the five slide courses in Deep Jungle and the 5 different games in the 100 Acre Woods but what else am I missing?

There's this vine-swinging mini game in Deep Jungle. It's very easily missable.

thanks, forgot to mention those earlier but i did find them, the 3 or 4 courses I must be missing something, somewhere...

Do the coliseum cup time trials count?

what makes kingdomhearts so special?

@ Yu-Gi - really great, if not a bit confusing story at times, with brilliant action RPG gameplay!

Right finally got around to pick this up and here is my first impression.

I actually cried when the game started up, the wave of Nostalgia that hit me was massive. Square have done this exceptionally well. Game looks great, runs smooth as silk and i just as amazing as I remember it being back in the day.

^^ Gonna see if you can hit level 30 before leaving the island again?
