    just gonna go over some things about KH2 and BBS what with the recent info

    KH2
    -There are extra scenes, most of which have still not been addressed to this day
    -The Cavern of Remembrance dungeon has the toughest enemies, and forces you to use the max level Drive Form abilities to progress
    -Limit Form is probably the strangest form, but more importantly, you can use it in the battle of 1000 heartless
    -Dodge roll is a godsend
    -There are a bunch of new mushroom minigames, these are roughly as obnoxious as the new heartless in KH1FM were, but the items they let you synth are IMO far more wroth it
    -There has been severe rebalancing, you get powerful abilities like Explosion way later in the game
    -This rebalancing makes grinding much tougher than it was in KH2 vanilla. Every weapon that had the Lucky Lucky ability has had it removed, and Sora no longer gains Lucky Lucky through natural means. To counter this, an infinite number of Lucky Rings can be crafted, but this requires beating the Lingering Will
    -However, this is just one of several reasons why Critical Mode in KH2FM is worth a damn. Your MP and HP are halved, you deal less damage and take more... but to counter this you get 50 AP and a bunch of abilities, including two Lucky Luckys, and other good stuff like MP Hastera, you also gain 3 AP ratehr than 2 from a level up. This balance makes Critical Mode legitimately fun, as far as I'm concerned
    -Chain of Memories Absent Silhouettes are tonnes of fun
    -Sticker collection is tedious but gives rewards really worth having, which kinda sucks

    BBS
    -CAMERA CONTROLS
    -LESS LOAD TIMES
    -That honestly kinda boring Secret Episode with Aqua
    -The meh quality extra secret bosses in the Mirage Arena
    -Pointless Unversed Minigames in each world that honestly don't give very good rewards at all
    -Some not so great extra commands

    Okay to in terms of content BBS isn't even close to KH2, but still. The lack of Lucky Luckys definitely hurts people who want to get trophies and stuff though.
    But yeah, I dunno, I think people sometimes forget just how much KH2FM changed things up.
    Like now we get this music!


    and my personal favourite


    Oh, one more thing, if KHWiki isn't lying, you need to beat the Lingering Will to unlock the Birth by Sleep secret ending in KH2, so have fun with that (I never did bother trying to beat Terra)

    you could have just said it was an English translated KH2FM and KHBBSFM remastered for the PS3 with better quality and controls probably.​

    Because a lot of people haven't played Final Mix and don't actually know what they're in for

    Don't really see how that answered my question at all. Then again you were probably just trying to be witty.

    Not really, no, what I'm trying to get at is that just because you specific people already know this (and apparently hate being reminded) doesn't mean everyone is. I'm basing this on past experience, and to be fair, this is a much smaller community than I'm used to, but there is definitely a difference between a wiki page passively existing and a thread being actively posted. There are 45 views here, lots are duplicates, but there are also 5 unique people involved in this. The law of averages says that this'll reach SOMEONE this matters to. It could be someone who didn't know the extent of these changes, it could be a person who forgot how cool KH2 is, it could be a person who just wants their reasons to be hyped reiterated. A lot of people haven't actually played Final Mix, anyways, and are more than likely only familiar with the exclusive cutscenes because of that.
    I mean, okay, you guys knew about... that's great? Why are you so offended about being reminded of it?

    Here we go

    First of all the amount of assumptions being made in this post is hilarious. You think any of the people who replied to this thread care enough to be offended by anything you said?

    If you care so much about this information reaching someone that actually needs it, why post it in a section that isn't even Kingdom Hearts related and is specifically made for general small talk, random chaos, etc. You have a much better chance of getting a higher percentage of people needing this information if you posted it in the appropriate section because why in the world would random people search the spamzone for Kingdom Hearts tips/advice?

    The whole point of mentioning the Wiki page was that this information is already out there and if someone were to make a Google search for said information, chances are this thread isn't going to be anywhere near the top results. Along with that, actual articles and guides are going to be way more organized and easier to read than a bunch of stuff being slapped together.

    Why is it assumption is always the thing people go to when they try to discredit something. It's hyperbole
    Anyways. Why not psot it in the KH forum? it's not rules compliant, more people visit the Spam Zone, what other reasons do I need?
    I dunno why me saying that this might help someone is interpreted by you as me being on some quest to inform a bunch of people. I just figured someone might not know all this, and maybe some other people would appreciate it for hype's sake. No big plans. No big motive. Just making a topic and suddenly being forced to justify it to an insane degree

    Or you are just super defensive. This started out as a joke, then turned into a Soap Opera. I'm going to stop replying to this thread now because this isn't worth a staff lecture later. Have a good night.

    Started off as a joke but stopped the moment I replied with "law of averages"?
    Anyways, good night

    Woah woah woah

    Even though for quite a few (NOT ALL) Kingdom Hearts fans who gave a damn about Final Mix stuff in the first place, this is pretty old news; there's no need to argue about the validity of posting it at all :|

    Agreed, especially considering how old it is, there could be some people who may not remember all the stuff that came with the FMs. I didn't really look into the BBSFM additions outside of the BONUS AQUA EPISODE and the armor fights. Even with KH2FM, I didn't know about the Lucky Lucky stuff (WHICH IS LAME BTW) or the stuff that came with the puzzle.

    I do realize I am very likely the minority in this, but imo it doesn't matter that he posted it since he did have some good intentions with trying to let people who may not remember stuff a previously 7 year old Japanese exclusive remaster with a buttload of new content know what's coming now that it's being opened up to the world.


    besides the REAL question is whether kairi's pantaloons will see an HD update (i rly hope not)

    Whatever the case, I'm just going to go with the literal and imagine Plums is talking about Kairi wearing pantaloons
