Why not.

I've been playing KH Final Mix as a part of the 1.5 + 2.5 combo on PS4. I have a good setup so I can actually play it a good amount now, so I'm looking forward to pushing through to beating it.

I'm in Atlantica now which really sucks. This game is a lot of fun, but the world design is balls.

Also, I have a +Magic -Attack setup. I'm so proud of my 9 MP because I was watching Shadwife play and she maxed at like 5.

Also, despite the world design sucking, I kill things really good with magic in Atlantica.

Looking for Ursula now, who I know is one of the worst fights.

Alright here's a question.

I currently have Fira/Blizzara/Cure as my quick setup. Is there a better setup for a magic main?

One of Fire/Blizzard for single targets, and then Thunder for groups and Cure for healing covers the offensive stuff. Reflect and Aero are both very good but on Normal you can beat the game by mashing the attack button so they aren't really necessary.

Even on Proud I've always been a "Mash the X button and hit everyone in the face" kind of player.

I am absolutely certain that there was no hidden B8 context that necessitated bringing up Shadman. Unless Shaduln is somehow a significantly worse person than I thought

Alright, beat Big Ursula on my second try. Mostly let Goofy and Ariel do the damage while I just avoided. Took awhile, but it worked. Got around to her back on the green bar and did some good damage myself there.

Went back to the Arena to try the Pegasus Cup again (lost vs Leon and Yuffie last time).

As soon as I was able to take out Yuffie, it was fairly simple.

Does Leon get that weird lightsaber in FF8?

Yeahhh, but fortunately you're past the worst of it now. Deep Jungle and Atlantica piss me off to no end in terms of design though so I can't blame you there.

Big Ursula is also a bit of a dickish fight but it's a lot easier (as are most of the boss battles from here on out) if you have Aero on your quick magic bar, as it mitigates a LOT of the damage from heavier hitters like her. It's a *must* on Proud mode, but it can do wonders on the normal difficulty too (especially since you went +magic).

It's kinda what the Lion Heart looks like, but it's just as big as the normal gunblade.

But then you could reason that the Blasting Zone limit break makes a huge beam come out of his sword too, so it's a bit of both I guess.

Yeah, I like Aero but I'm using all of my other magic so much! I swap it out for boss battles typically.

I had fun vs Oogie Boogie. I got tired of his shit and summoned Bambi (lowkey one of the best summons imo) and just spammed thunder until he was dead.

Yeah that didn't make much sense to me either. Lots of thunder was used again.

How so? From what I've read, Final Mix fixed all of the missables.

Just an example, Im not sure exactly when the cutoff is, but the clock tower at Neverland ends up getting a secret boss and if you didnt get the chests there you wont be able to until you kill it. So maybe fuck you over was a bit strong but youll probably need to grind a bit before you can do some collectibles.

Fortunately the tournaments in this game give exp so theyre an easy source of grinding. Pretty sure the ones
in 2 dont.

I'm going around and getting all the trinity's (other than white because I don't have them yet).

Something came to mind. KH1 reminds me a lot of Dragon Age 2. I like both games, but both really are hurt by their world design.

KH1 really is the worse in the series in that regard. You can tell Square hadn't really understood how to make a platform game at that point.

The worlds become much more playable in later games, although admittedly this comes at an expense since they become more generic and sparse

Keep in mind while they did fix the missables in Halloweentown, if you don't get them the first time you'll have to fight a really difficult enemy to access them again. Not quite a bonus boss, but pretty close. And it respawns...

I just did this! It was annoying, but I beat it.

Also, I went through all the worlds, and minus the ones I'm missing in Hollow's Bastion, I'm missing 2 blue trinities. Another bad look is that they break out the other collectables by world, but not trinities.

I finished Pooh this morning while I was on baby duty (the missing page was in Monstro). Then I decided to get as many puppies as I could so I'm up to 69/99.

I beat the Phil Cup solo so I could unlock time trial and got the mini game trophy.

I think I've done everything I'm going to do before going to Hollow Bastion.

I have one more set of puppies to get in Hollow Bastion. Let's see if I can get those!

Riku 2 is pretty unforgiving. I'm usually somewhere between Levels 50 and 60 for him.

Of course, I'm also used to playing on Proud Mode so you might not really have to be that much higher than you are now.
