[SPOILER] KH2.8 discussion

[horto12485]

- Kingdom Hearts
- Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
- Kingdom Hearts II
- Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
- Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
- Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded
- Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
- Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep
(- Kingdom Hearts 3)

On March, there a collection will be coming out on PS4: Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5, which consists of all these games, excluding DDD and 0..
If you own a PS3, you can buy the 1.5 and 2.5 collections.
(though the order on those will be KH1>CoM>Days | KH2>BBS>Coded, which is also fine!)

Well i have a PS3 and i have both 1.5 and 2.5 which i'm still getting at least 100% Completion of both games finished in time so i don't need the 1.5+2.5 for the PS4 So i just need 2.8 then it's time for Kingdom Hearts 3 but what i mean is what order game should i play in 2.8

Alyson Stoner was a Kairi replacement initially for Re:CoM so it isn't too surprising. I totally expect Hayden for KH3 unless she's busy on a project that makes it impossible for her to get to Burbank to record. Her not being in 2.8 doesn't really set a standard, either, since she was on break from all acting due to her postpartum depression.

The Alyson/Hayden situation is par for the couse by this point, but there's just a sense of weird in that in the 2.8 collection, Hayden's voicing Xion and Alyson's voicing Kairi.

Oh. DDD>0.2>XBC

I think it is pretty ironic in a good way. Risa Uchida voices Kairi and Xion, so this ability to have Alyson and Hayden switch off is kind of like playing into that. <3 I love it xD

 

[gosoxtim]

by the way her kairi sound simmler to her phineas and ferb isabella voice lol

 

[Lonbilly]

I've heard worse voice acting in the series than Alyson doing Kairi, but I vastly prefer her as Xion and Hayden as Kairi. I dunno, it just feels more natural to me. I'm just glad we'll never have to deal with a Brittany Snow/Meaghan sitch. I vastly prefer Meaghan to Brittany's work as Namine.

My gosh sora voice, its been a while since i played ddd

I wish he stayed constant after kh2
i take david for granted

Here are all the cutscenes in English.

I really like Willa's take on Aqua here. It's very quite and sad which fits her.

 

[ultima-demi]

Sora's voice is gonna take a little while to get used too.

He's trying his best to sound like KH2 sora and it sounds off at times because the higher pitch he does at the end of some lines.

 

[U.N. Owen]

Yeah, you can kind of hear Stoner slip into her Isabella voice when she's shouting.

 

[Grono]

Whooh, I know a lot of you love Alyson Stoner as Kairi for that scene, but man is it more distracting than I was expecting. I can hear no one but Xion speaking those lines right now xD

 

[Launchpad]

Sora, Riku, Donald and Goofy sound great.

maaaaan is Yen Sid boring. the Mysterious Tower music makes me want to kill myself, and listening to him play Captain Exposition may be the true concentrated antithesis of 'fun'.

Can confirm Ven's shirt color was not fixed in the Version 1.0.1 patch.

 

[Zettaflare]

"Whatever, happens all the time".

Did Sora just acknowledge that he starts at zero in every game?

Really loved when he said that. I hope the writing for the future installments improve.

 

[Sephiroth0812]

Can confirm Ven's shirt color was not fixed in the Version 1.0.1 patch.

This means they still overlooked it, lol, as I can tell it is not supposed to look like this.

The Terra & Ven 0.2 Version medal from Unchained X does show Ven's jacket in the correct coloration:

 

[The_Echo]

I did it.
I got all the Trophies in 0.2.

Those of you looking for a challenge, Critical Mode doesn't disappoint.
Another thing I noticed, is that Heartless give less EXP on this mode.

Overall the trip to 100% challenges (which will net you all Trophies) is pretty easygoing. You have to grind to LV80 though, which is lame. The toughest part is EASILY Critical.

Total playtime: ~14 hours over 3 save files not counting the hours I didn't save because they were just failed boss attempts on Critical ;_;

Wow, that's nice as hell they're gonna be throwing us into a world right at the beginning of III.

Super odd Sora knew Yen Sid was talking about Hercules but he had to sit and think of where to go.

Spoiler Show

Sora's problem was not about the where but the how.
He knew fully well that in order to see Hercules they would need to go to Olympus Coliseum, but as Goofy points out the old highways that connected the worlds during KH 2 are gone/no longer accessible so they sit there and think about how they can fly over to Olympus in the first place.
