>multiple mandatory tutorial stages
Well I supposed it wouldnt be a Kingdom Hearts game if SquareDisney didnt shitbox you for long aeons.

Would Xemnas stand a chance against a fully powered up Lexaeus?

if I already have kex should i pull xionex since i only have 6 pulls left

only in a no magic fight
Magic really fucks the tank

Reposting because dead thread.

Might as well

and you get to do it every time you reroll your account :^)

no

post results

When I started RK I almost immediately got Cloud's retard-strong Motorcycle sword that murders everything and unlocks abilities that further murder everything.
When I started BraveExvius I got the best healer in the game followed a week later by one of the best magical chainers in the game.
When I started Mobius I had one of the best Warrior jobs and one of the best buffs for warrior and ranger jobs within a week.

So either the game gives me something really good within the sum of the free new years loot and new player loot or I'm just not gonna give a fuck.
Mobius takes like 5 minutes to reroll, this take like an hour to reroll with the tutorial and mysteriously slow post-tutorial download.

>And you cannot rewrite the events that are destined to happen
He's referring to the past
This is why you lose memories of time traveling when you return to your own time

>He is the reason why he leaves the island
No he's not. Xehanort is discovered by his future Master and whisked away.

>This also creates a paradox, right?
It's more of a time loop.

>I have no idea where they get that idea from
The Ultimania

If 3 gets a manga adaptation, the Pixar and neo-Disney characters will be unsettling as fuck.

resetera.com/threads/2018-bold-predictions-thread.13741/

I feel like the only reason I want KH3 in 2018 now is to go to every single poster that has said it would be delayed to eat shit.

So if I failed to make the Dalmatian should I just sell my extra unfused puppies?

Is KA14 any good?

>If 3 gets a manga adaptation
The manga is over

>KH3 might or wil drop this year
>I don't have a PS4 yet
Fml

they're just grasping at straws at this point

Yes.

Also we really need a good reverse tier 7 other than Roxas. I've got HD Vanitas ready to clone shit on my diamond dust, but he's got not good targets.

The unfused ones only. This will surely make a reappearance at some point, although I doubt it will be anytime soon.

What we need is a good reverse speed medal with all-attribute damage. I'm prepping my Divine Rose to be a reverse keyblade, and will be grabbing KHII Namine for the fourth slot, but getting the above mentioned would make this setup applicable for almost everything.

Disney makes 2d art of the 3d models all the time
Hell, BH6 has a manga

BH6 was 2d before it was 3d.
Reminder that its based off a marvel comic book.

His eyes glow yellow as well to indicate that he was just possessed. Plus Young Xehanort at that time doesn't have a Keyblade of his own, however his future self does which is why he could temporarily use one.

HD Larxene or HD FF Sora?

I can guilt either of them now, or both (i've got 12 M&B). I've got no Foretellers and my next best guilted reverse AoE is Sephiroth (perfect traits though)

guilt Sora
Larxene is kinda eh

>they finally removed ducks from colisseum boards
thank god
I have several stacks of them

>He directly influences destiny
Not if destiny were already set in stone beforehand

Do you think the Apprentices are going to fight in KH3 or are they going to just sit back and research stuff? I imagine they'll meet Ansem again

Sora is fantastic for Fairy Stars, and considering that's one of the best Keyblades out right now, it works perfectly. Larxene is good, but being a Tier 6 when Tier 6 is going to end up pretty outclassed + her lack of buffs + her requirements for max multiplier really hinders her

They should update the Coli boards with attack/buff medals, brooms, or better Scrooges. Given the power creep, the constant repetition of the same T1 medals, and uselessness of Coliseum (and Union Cross) coins after about an hour or two, it'd be pretty helpful to have them be updated for the current game. Because there's little to no incentive to play them past a certain point.

Last weeks Coli (other than the grind) was pretty good even killing like 1 X boss per minute at double time was not enough to unlock everything in one go. It's still really fast though

Mirrors, HDL's, and brooms are fine, but we are literally drowning in Cids, Chips and Dales at this point. What they should do is hurry up and release trait roll medals, since it's the only thing that would actually be valuable at this point.

Bear Union user, are you still here? You wanted me to join your party, right?

Join my bear party instead lol
Post ID

That 10k was a Godsend. Leon also has Ground 60% on him and I also somehow have three Moogle and Soras. They need to keep doing these guaranteed new medal deals since both times have given me amazing medals. Days Riku completely carries me and now Leon does even more.

Yeah, we're the Kilika Beasts. Our party leader is Vuroja (ID: 623171)

Would you recommend swapping out Aced for Leon?

Alright guys, obligatory questions for anyone who wants to answer them.

>If there was a Kingdom Hearts tv series announced, would you watch it?

Alright bros, hope you're enjoying life right now. The wait for KH3 is seriously unbearable.

Damn, you got that EX Cloud and Squall? Much better than my first 5 pulls.

Okay, I'll search it.

ah fuck i really want squall and another copy of herc, i really don't want nipple sora though. is it worth it?

...

I'm Deadox, game says my ID is 3693811. I dont know how to apply directly to a party, so hopefully that helps.

Leon is pretty much made for pet slots and you get an upright buff on top of it basically being after you've done all your buffs and debuffs so I would say probably. Move Aced somewhere earlier and have Leon do your dirty work in the pet slot, he's replaced all of my Keyblade's pet slots now.

Nipple Sora was my first pull when the banner came out so it's up to you. I was tempted to do another pull after all those but stayed back, keep in mind it's a 1 in 5 chance you get what you want, but if you want Squall or Herc that's at least 2 out of 5. Up to you if you want those odds since we don't have too much in the future from what what I understand besides that new Namine and these deals are amazing for F2P.

Probably fight if we get round 2 of the Heartless attacking Radiant Garden. Like the FF characters were in KH2.

>favorite
Honestly? Probably bbs. Being able to play as different characters was refreshing, even if I wasn't a big fan of aqua. Plus it had my favorite kind of ending: Everybody dies, fuck you
>least favorite
Probably recoded. It was a slog to play through and added nothing to the story
>underrated
hard to say. I'm not sure any are
>returning character
Auron. No doubt about it. My favorite final final character
>returning world
I personally liked the world that never was. I hope we get more of the city outside the castle
>two new party members
I want to see the gang all together: Sora, Riku, and Kairi
>wanted world
That's feasible? I think treasure planet sounds feasible and awesome
>game remake
It might be cool to see days in its full glory. A version of days that really characterizes all the org members, isn't nearly so monotonous, probably does away with their command/level system, etc
>Favorite song
Forze del Male
youtube.com/watch?v=qtoUK_UJhV8
really great intimidating tone, perfect boss battle music
>Don't want in kh3
Halloween town. It was fun the first time, but anything more they do with it would be forced as hell
>missed opportunity
Riku and Rikku name confusion
>alternate protag
Since this is the end of the xehanort saga there's no way it's gonna happen, but I think it'd be really cool if one of his incarnations defected to the good side. I guess it still could be done in kh3 if sora gets captured or something. Young xehanort's probably the best bet
>kh tv series
It'd have to be done right, but I'd give it a shot if nothing else

Something a little less limited, ideally. The GDD -3 has been mostly rendered moot with kex/xex, meaning you'd have a x3.80 solo attack that would only have impact with the copy medal.

Something like a reverse HD Mickey EX would be perfect.

>Favorite Game
>KH2F
>Least favorite game
358/2 Days
>most underrated
Birth by Sleep. As much as the harder difficulties can be bullshit, the combo system isn't completely ass. Sure, I'll take even KH1 combat over it any day, but I won't say that I didn't at least have some fun with it.
>If any character could come back in KH3
Larxene or her somebody. The trios (and Namine) are already coming back, so I wouldn't worry about them. Larxene was an enjoyable villain, and I'd like to see more of her. Plus it would help turn down the sausage fest. We also aren't done with Strelitzia, so there's that
>Returning world
Besides the confirmed ones, I'd probably say Halloween Town
>Two new party members
Riku and Kairi are mandatory
>dream world for KH3
Emperor's New Groove or Lilo & Stitch proper
>If they were to remake a KH game from the ground up in KH3s engine, which one would you want?
Honestly it'd have to be KHUX or BBS. UX would be great to explore the worlds in an while seeing other Keyblade Wielders. BBS in KH3's engine would be great, given how 0.2's combat was
>favorite song in the series
Fate of the Unknown
>What's something you absolutely don't want to be in KH3?
Star Wars
>What do you think is the biggest missed opportunity of the series?
I feel like if Nomura had all this planed out from the start, the narrative would flow a lot better and the characters would be fleshed out a lot more. Also, the Final Fantasy characters wouldn't have been improved upon. Instead, we got stuff like not-Vincent in Olympus Coliseum in KH1.
>New Protag
I'd either pick Riku or Ven. An original character would feel weird given how much cool shit the other characters have done. Riku has an interesting background and character, plus he's fun to play as. Ven would be a good choice to spearhead the following saga if only because he was there for most of its setup.
>tv series
If it were good

If I got Herc B and 2 Cloud EX's on my first 3 pulls and I'm at 12K jewels (I spent the 10 K on failed Gula pulls), do I try for Leon or should I wait for something later on like SKEX?

I hope the FF characters are actually in our party this time instead of us just riding solo except for one short sequence. The ones on DI better show up, too.

>What's your favorite game in the series?
KHIIFM
>What's your least favorite game in the series?
Days
>What do you think is the most underrated game in the series. and why do you think it's underrated?
Re:coded, because people prioritize story over gameplay.
And then they don't even want a good story, just a series of things happening.
>If any character could come back in KH3 who do you hope it would be?
Naminé
>What world would you like to see return from prior games the most?
Halloween Town
>Hypothetically speaking, let's say Donald and Goofy at the end of KH3 go on there own way at the end of the game. Who are the two new party members you want by your side throughout KH4?
Riku and Kairi
>What's your dream world for KH3 that is somewhat feasible?
It was Toy Story but now it's real so
>If they were to remake a KH game from the ground up in KH3s engine, which one would you want?
Re:coded, but it should retain the Command Deck and all its unique mechanics 'cause that's what made it great
>Your favorite song in the series (Link if you're feeling up for it)
youtube.com/watch?v=Kvv2znzgVFo
>What's something you absolutely don't want to be in KH3?
Star Wars and Marvel
>What do you think is the biggest missed opportunity of the series?
Days. Everything about Days.
>I believe it's already been confirmed by Nomura that the protagonist for the future games will be Sora, but if someone new were to take the reigns who would you want it to be? A completely new character, or one of the already existing ones (if an existing one, please specify).
Riku is the most appropriate answer I think, but his arc has kind of completed so I don't think he can be a compelling lead anymore.
Either Terra or Kairi.
>If there was a Kingdom Hearts tv series announced, would you watch it?
Yes.

I'm hoping for a good reverse speed medal for my setup as well
the only ones I currently have guilted are sephiroth and illu xemnas
Key art 3 at least works by giving me the final defense debuff

It's not right to use us for focus testing, square
But I'll answer your questions anyway

>kh1
>days
>re:com
>repliku, just because i know xion's coming back cause she's a fan favorite but repliku isn't
>neverland, because sora never got to fly around the island and hook is still alive
>kairi and riku but I'd rather donald and goofy stay, give them keyblades if ypu have to
>star wars but I think that was post-BH6, a death star world would cover the whole trilogy if you replace palpatine with xehanort and order 66 with the keyblade war, but since I know it won't happen, james and the giant peach
>kh1 and 2, but they really need to stick to 1 engine for the whole series, it's way too jarring going from 2d to 3d to fmv between games
>lord of the castle
>live action worlds like pirates of the caribbean
>frollo boss fight in DDD
>i probably wouldn't play a game without sora, since i hated Days
>definitely not, this series is long enough without a tv show thinning out the plot

I'd rather these questions not show up every thread since it's usually the same people come here have already participated and it gets stale fast

So is KH3 Riku EX the next medal they're going to give away with the next trailer?

There goes my luck for the year

Is it just me or does Lexaeus' neck look extremely long in the CoM artwork titled "Daylight"?

At this point flip a coin really. You can save up for that Namine deal they have going on but who knows how badly SENA will screw us over regarding that one (The one where she's tier 7 and gets 4 trait slots), SKEX doesn't seem too great from what we've seen and it's not a massive game changer like KEX or XEX, Namine is what's. You've basically got 4 pulls of guaranteed decent medals, mostly Power, or you can do something like 6ish pulls I think on Gula in the hope of getting him, really up to you.

This is the original artwork.

Illustrated Larxene EX when

Don't bother with Leon. A cloning medal in the pet slot is pretty much always better (if your party is high tier join /khg/) unless it's Colosseum but you shouldn't have a problem getting into top 10k anyway and well if you can get into top 2k you'd be a whale.

Huh, that's kinda weird. Never noticed that. I think his neck does look pretty long in that. I think there's consistency though from the artist in that pic. Sora, Vexen, and Marluxias neck all look just as long though.

Mind you though I'm not saying he's bad but a chance at him is eh. Since we'll eventually get the "all cloning medals" deal.
It will be end of the month 1 week before the next meta defining medal.

so would a KA sky with ground defense be better than squall on coli setups?

Restarted my buddies old account that hasn't been touched since 0.2 kairi and that was on my insistence pretty sure he stopped before that
>41,000 jews

fuck no it wasn't key art 8 it was another of this zexion

man this key art is useless

10/10
Sora donald goofy got 129% guilt
nothing else guilted though
>20,000 jews still remain
What should I do with them?

at least you got some t7s out of it too, save the jews

Honestly depends on what he's copying, but yeah I'd say just on the basis of gound-def he's probably better than a guilted but traitless Leon since Coli enemies have absurd defense.

I see Leon is your spirit animal too.

I should probably pull for him or cloud so I can get a dedicated pet slot
there were enough free brooms to guilt one medal

Xion is my spirit animal. I should have stayed loyal and pulled for her Original Ex because so far I have every other Xion at guilt.

Does this spirit dog thing eat the badges you place on it?

>get knocked out of HSC 5000 AFTER booster expires

FUCKING HOW

No

>just sat through 3 hours of Days just so I can get a roxas card in re:com
>go to room of rewards in twilight town
>waste damn near every green card i saved up just for the destiny islands rooms because I know they don't spawn on that floor
>the chest gives me a thunder spell card instead
What did I do wrong?

yeah what the fuck how are people increasing their rank

10k jewels = 3 more Xion pulls.

Nope, it's like you're equipping them to a Keyblade, that's all. Just click "Optimize" and you're good to go.

>this key art is useless
>tfw getting two of them in its original banner was a great moment of pride for me

Damn power creep

Thank you

Did you read through the records as well? On PS4 it doesn't give you the theme and act like you completed watching it until you do that so that could be it.
Roxas is also not that great, Maleficent gives a higher damage increase, I tried it out when I saw him and Saix boosted damage.

Same here Xionbro. I pulled 10 times for her first EX but never got it ;_;

I'm on ps3 version
It gave me a trophy for clicking through all the extras
But I'm still at 42% (4/6) for Days
0,1,0,3 whatever that means
Still no theme either

You went through all the bios and then all the secret reports/journals, right?

Oh wait there's SECRET reports lmao

That sucks!
I wasted 3 hours plus a few more for farming cards
The card descriptions made it sound like double damage was more powerful
What does saix do again?
How's he compare to those 2?
And does anything buff sleights?

>The card descriptions made it sound like double damage was more powerful
I thought the same thing since on my PS3 playthrough I didn't really pay attention to anything that wasn't Maleficent, Jafar, or Lexaeus but when I was playing PS4 I paid attention to the rest of what I got. When I was testing it with normal attack combos which is how I normally fight I was doing more damage with Maleficent than I was with Saix or Roxas to the point that I would save a full volley of attacks. I'm completely unsure if any of them even got buffed when using sleights since they all specifically mention Attack cards.

>What does saix do again?
If you get off a successful full combo with attack cards the damage increases until you get card broken. Keeping up the combo against enemies at the point where you can get him isn't exactly easy.

>And does anything buff sleights?
Marluxia is the only real sleight buff that I know of since it gives you a doublecast. I'm completely unsure if any of the damage boosters at all increase sleight damage, feel free to test it out though, I felt like Maleficent boosted my Blizzaga damage but that could just be confirmation bias.

Based moose doing all the leg work

How come when I use a sleight, sometime it doesn't do the max number of hits?
Is it RNG?

I've never gotten more than 2 random jokers
Is that the max you can hold or something?

I know its >2 hours later
but I know at least elemental boosts do affect sleights, including Mega Flare if using the Fire Boost

Ah, that's right, thanks for that. Yeah, Red Nocturne is needed if you want to grind with Mega Flare as Sora to 99 since without it the enemies survive with a sliver meaning you can't make it past the first wave, completely forgot.

...

wow this general is pretty dead

Seems like it. So this is the power of a disgruntled fanbase that has had to endure obscene delays and shitty side games between legit main-series installments.

...
