Birth by Sleep Difficulty?

Ok, Im gonna import this game probably if the NA release date isnt anounced soon. Just wondering though, is the difficulty like KH2 were its completely easy even on Proud mode or did they make it harder? I want to play on Proud to get the secret ending faster.

In KH2, I didnt die once on standard, and only died maybe 3 times on Proud. Is BbS like the same difficulty as KH2? Or is Proud harder now like I want it to be? lol

 

Well, unless you take time to grind, it's actually pretty hard, or rather annoying, there are some plant-like unversed that stick to the ground and keep sending razor-like blades at you, and on Proud those took around half of my HP bar instantly, evn after i went to grind.

And unless you know how to Guard and Dodge, Vanitas fights, most disney bosses and the last bosses will be a pain.

 

Ok, so is Proud mode on BbS like Expert mode in KH1? Cause KH1's Expert mode was quite tough.
