"No, no, I think you misunderstood," Lexaeus said. "As you probably know, Vexen and Larxene never really got along." ((CoM stuff)) "So, given that they are both female now, how do you think their attitudes towards each other will change?"
He noticed Axel and Demyx arrive and called out to them. "Hey, Axel, Demyx! Want to learn Contract Bridge with me from Luxord?"
"I trust whatever medical technology Vexen is using actually proves helpful, then?" Lexaeus asked Xigbar. "Say," he added, now addressing Luxord as well, "How do you think Vexen's going to get on with Larxene now that Number Twelve is not the only female in our Organisation?"
Not quite sure where to put this since it encompasses all three and is essentially a "Help" thread since it goes into the intricate complexities of the system.
If you will direct your attention to Speed Demos Archive, you will see that RPGs and action RPGs have been successfully Speed Run'd. That brings us to the topic at hand.
Can a KH game be Speed Run'd?
In theory, yes. However, in practice, it will not be an easy thing to do. Apart from considering the uncontrollable luck factor, one has to balance the need to level for stronger Sora and thus faster kills against that of plain speed in completion itself, which will inevitably sacrifice levels and thus power.
How then? What steps can be taken to get through the games faster without sacrificing too much power and thus lengthening the mandatory fights? What legit (ie. non-code) glitches can be exploited to help speed Sora and co. through the game?
Analyse the situation, taking into account the notes present in SDA, and discuss.
"He looks sane enough, but I would advise caution for now," Lexaeus whispered to Luxord, careful not to let Xigbar hear. Turning to Xigbar, he said loudly in a friendly manner, "Xigbar! Not seeing any more camels, I hope?"
"I suppose we could handle our nonexistent partner's cards as well." Lexaeus paused to contemplate the second question. "The social dimensions of the game interest me. It helps to expand my horizons. Card gaming allows me a means of interacting with others that is both enjoyable and also involves little conversation. Why the curiosity?" Lexaeus asked. "It seems out of place for me or something?"
Lexaeus finished his sandwich off and proceeded to sit down and listen as Luxord started to explain Contract Bridge. After a while, Luxord paused to ask if he required any clarification and Lexaeus did not hesitate to ask, "I suppose we won't be actually doing any practicals, since there are only two of us and Contract Bridge needs four?"
I was kinda wondering what would have happened if things really had been flipped around in that way, with Xehanort being the one to suggest the study into Darkness and then aborting the experiments, while Ansem chooses to press on ahead with his other apprentices...
"I thought they were saying that it had got spoiled. Someone said that at any rate. Want a peanut butter sandwich?" Lexaeus offered Luxord the peanut butter sandwich in his other hand.
((No need to worry. We all forget these little things some time or another.))
