Has anyone managed to find all the enemies on quest 552 or get 1000 lux on quest 554? Max lux I've managed to get is 858 and after 3 tries I'm still missing a few enemies to complete the first challenge.

Yeah, chu really have to go through all the floors to find all the Darklings and beat them, ish a pain. Chu can only get a 1000 lux by using a lux plus skill.

Why does that make chu happy? :o The new proud quests were a piece of cake to me. XD

Anyone else kinda sad that the player's speech pretty much signified they were their own individual rather then us? Meh, I was prepared of course, made my own kh character... but still ish kinda disappointing not being official... oh well, I'm sure I'll get over it like I always do.

Re: Feb 9th - Kingdom Hearts Unchained ? ENG Update

I might be alone on this but, does anyone else think that some of these new story quests are very poorly designed? There's 3 or 4 of them that are impossible to get all 3 objectives at one time.

- Quest 549 wants you to beat all enemies in 1 turn but also complete the quest in 6 turns total. It's impossible to do both of these things because there's 7 groups of enemies.
- Quest 552 wants you to complete within 2 battles but also defeat all enemies in 1 turn but there's far more than 2 groups of enemies. I understand that this quest is meant to be more of a puzzle which I actually really like. It forces you to find alternate routes to the target. But why not just make the other objective to defeat the TARGET ENEMY in 1 turn?
- Then Quest 553 wants you to defeat all enemies in 1 turn but also trigger defense boost II which is impossible because none of the enemies do a preemptive strike before your first turn.

Does anyone else find this annoying?

Because NA-UX sucks. In the japanese version, you usually only have to defeat the target enemy within one turn, not all enemies. Yes, it sucks. It sucks for all the quests, but for those especially.
The defense boost thing is shit though, I wonder if thats bad in JP as well.

They've done quests that require you to play them more than once to get all of the objectives many times before.

The worst one to me is that one that requires you to complete it in two battles. I ran into several mobs just following the target enemy signal. I'm not sure how that is supposed to be done.

Also the 555 boss seems impossible to me at the moment. Suppose I'll have to throw in Belle and Minnie somewhere. Not sure how I can do that with my setup as it is. =/

Kind of funny that I didn't have a lot of trouble with the level 280 Proud Quests. The magic one gave me some trouble, but that's because my power setup is the only good one I have. =(

Currently I'm running on Olympia +27 with

Ariel and Flounder (Defense Boost II)
Maui 100% guilt (Attack Prize Plus)
Christmas Sora 100% guilt (Attack Prize Plus) Typically only in my setups for the APP, but the defense is also necessary for a quest like this.
Meowjesty 100% guilt (Attack Boost III Max)
Flowbermeow 100% guilt (Attack Boost I)

Friend Medal: Marluxia B 100% guilt (Attack Boost II Max)

Sadly I can't really use Divine Rose or anything. I have Larxene B guilted, but she isn't helping me much here. She has Attack Boost II, but it would need to be max to help me. =/

On first scene you just run in right part of the screen until you run into another stair. Then you just follow the marker - that did it for me

Namine (for copying power buffs boss starts doin after 3rd turn), anti sora (for peeling off his def and buffs) and minnie (for healing) alongside with Vanitas and Boosted donald with atk3 did it for me. For friend medal it was Larxene B on 100%
Not on objectives though, As much I've tried I dont have good medals for this.
Oh and it all was in +25 Rose keyblade

I dont have ariel and actually I dont need it since after 3rd turn Ira stars buffing himself with all element and attack +3/+1/+2 and i just copied that. So i guess you actually may not need ariel if you can survive until that moment

Re: Feb 9th - Kingdom Hearts Unchained ? ENG Update

Well, I don't know how to take a vid of it, and you may not have that particular medal, but my strat:

1. I have IKairi, Alice, and Namine. (Got Nam when there was a draw where she'd be easier to get). I have Defense III on IKairi b/c I don't have Second Chance, Nam has Defense II.

2. I used Lady Luck +22. My setup was IKairi, Namine, Alice, Flowbermeow, Marlexia B (Sadly not guilted), and my friend medal was young Lea, full guilted. (I think there's some whales in my party.)

3. If he has a defense boost, I'd copy that then erase it. If it was the other, I'd just erase, cure/buff with IKairi. Would attack with the friend medal. Was able to last until he gave up.

I don't know if that'll help anyone but..

Re: Feb 9th - Kingdom Hearts Unchained ? ENG Update

Maybe defense skills will help, I saw Defense II and Defense III kick in A LOT when I fought him. Also a tip; try Dale'ing your Namine/Alice/IKairi/AntiSora/Minnie. I tend to Chip and Dale my medals *A LOT*..Extra defense might help you survive. So the new Alice and Cheshire Cat medal might also be some help to you too if you got room in your deck.

Might be something to look into.

Re: Feb 9th - Kingdom Hearts Unchained ? ENG Update

I've upped defense on all of my medals. My friend medal that I'm using now has a Defense Boost III. I use Christmas Sora's defense. He still kills me, even with being fully healed.

I won. Finally.

I used Divine Rose
Namine, Ariel (with Defense Boost II), Minnie, Christmas Sora (APP) and Larxene B (Attack Boost II), and Classic Donald with Defense Boost III as a friend medal.

I had to have both Defense Boosts and Christmas Sora's defense boost special ability to survive. And they all had to work. =/

Seriously, I will never understand why they (SENA, na-ux) artificially raise the difficulty with the "all enemies in one turn" objectives.

Honestly, I kind of get the impression that it wasn't that SE raised the difficulty for NA, but that they dumbed it down for Japan. So much of the game has an emphasis on 1-turn triumphing, and doing so for the whole stage, that it honestly feels like that was how it was always intended, and then they just lessened the difficulty for Japan. That's how it feels to me, anyway. The way ours is set up feels more like the intended route. And it wouldn't be the first time that S-E has believed Japan doesnt like their games as hard as the west.

DefiantHeart
And why did it have to be updated on the ninth? Sheesh...

I... don't get why this is an issue?

New story quests, nice. Too bad I couldn't get that illustrated Sora keyart whatever it is prettiest medal ever, and now I'm all out of jewels and have to start saving again :( Still haven't gotten a single illustrated medal from a pull. Maybe someday I'll get lucky. Or not.

You really shouldn't pull for medals at all unless you have enough jewels to get the guaranteed Premium (15k for the 5-draws lately). Since Premiums don't leave the draw pool, pulling without the guarantee basically has the same chance of you getting the premium you want at any time (as in, your chance of getting Illustrated Sora three weeks from now is more or less the same as getting him now, if you go without the guarantee). My advice is to save up jewels so you can get a guaranteed premium pull, if that is what you are after.


Radiance
The worst one to me is that one that requires you to complete it in two battles. I ran into several mobs just following the target enemy signal. I'm not sure how that is supposed to be done.

You can take a different route. The mission is basically three or so levels with connecting staircases, so, by choosing different routes up you can dodge the Darklings, which are always in fixed positions. I believe there is only one Darkling you have to fight before the target battle.


Personally, I kinda like when you can't beat all three objectives in one go. Well, sometimes. I liked it in the mission I just mentioned because it basically encourages two different ways to play the level (your typical approach, and one more puzzle-solve-y), so that's neat. I like when they are like that. I don't like it when it is something kinda arbitrary (like triggering defense boost, but not having enemies that strike first).

This was a good update. A question for those that follow the JPN version, are the next story quests after this immediately diving into Cinderella, or is there something between then and now?

Completed the last quest with no continues. DBIII proccing saved my hide, so I was able to beat the foe in 3 Turns. Divine Rose FTW!

Divine Rose +29
Piglet 48% DBIII
WOFF Sephy
Xmas Sora 100% ABII&APP
Maleficent ABII&APP
Marluxia A 85% ABIIIMax
FM: Minnie 50% DBIII

All are +1000 boosted.

[SPOILER]My foe was Master Invi, which was very interesting. That second attack though, hits like a truck. Good thing I had DBIII and a Healing friend Medal. Might be able to 2 turn her in the future with stronger buffs/medals, or once we get ABIVMax in NA.[/SPOILER]

Re: Feb 9th - Kingdom Hearts Unchained ? ENG Update

I like this update! I walked around the Foretellers Room for about 5 minutes trying to find a chest or another serect but was side tracked by how detailed they made the windows in that room.

When I fought Master Ira (Vulpes and Unicornis fight Ira)

I used Lady Luck +28

Ill. Kairi
Alice
Alice and Cheshire Cat
Flabber Meow (Full Guilt)
Musketeer Mickey (Full Guilt)
Friend Medal: Causal Roxas (Fully Guilted)

Ira was easy to take down with the defense boosts and attacks buffs. But that rush attack...

[SPOILER] Ava says no one wins the war...But then, our Player survives so aren't they the victor? [/SPOILER]

But the Player's speech really means they aren't us, but we play as them the same way we play as Sora. But the Player sounds like is truly comes from the heart. Also Dearly Beloved really added to that moment. And best part is, the Player knew they would lose but fought them anyway. Even accepting they have darkness within them. But I feel as if the Player uses built up emotions to fight now.

P.S. Excuse my lack of grammar, I am using my phone to write this.

Aw. I thought I fought Ira because my guild is Unicornis. =( I thought it was special for me. Oh well.

I kind of got the feeling the player character wasn't me a long time ago. Lol. Her facial expressions and attitudes are not mine. Like the whole arc with the guy before the snowman boss. That one scene where the player character is smiling and the guy says "Why are you so excited to see me?" I was thinking the same thing! lol

It is. You fight whoever your Union Leader is. The only exception is Vulpes who also fight Ira because of the reveal post-fight that it was really Ava. Otherwise, everyone else fights their Union leader.

Still, why default Ira of all Foretellers I wonder?

Honestly, I kind of get the impression that it wasn't that SE raised the difficulty for NA, but that they dumbed it down for Japan. So much of the game has an emphasis on 1-turn triumphing, and doing so for the whole stage, that it honestly feels like that was how it was always intended, and then they just lessened the difficulty for Japan. That's how it feels to me, anyway. The way ours is set up feels more like the intended route. And it wouldn't be the first time that S-E has believed Japan doesnt like their games as hard as the west.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana]I... don't get why this is an issue?[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana]You really shouldn't pull for medals at all unless you have enough jewels to get the guaranteed Premium (15k for the 5-draws lately). Since Premiums don't leave the draw pool, pulling without the guarantee basically has the same chance of you getting the premium you want at any time (as in, your chance of getting Illustrated Sora three weeks from now is more or less the same as getting him now, if you go without the guarantee). My advice is to save up jewels so you can get a guaranteed premium pull, if that is what you are after.[/FONT]



[FONT=Verdana]You can take a different route. The mission is basically three or so levels with connecting staircases, so, by choosing different routes up you can dodge the Darklings, which are always in fixed positions. I believe there is only one Darkling you have to fight before the target battle.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana]Personally, I kinda like when you can't beat all three objectives in one go. Well, sometimes. I liked it in the mission I just mentioned because it basically encourages two different ways to play the level (your typical approach, and one more puzzle-solve-y), so that's neat. I like when they are like that. I don't like it when it is something kinda arbitrary (like triggering defense boost, but not having enemies that strike first).[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]This was a good update. A question for those that follow the JPN version, are the next story quests after this immediately diving into Cinderella, or is there something between then and now?


Ish a personal issue... nines always stalk me everywhere...sigh...

In the game Vulpes and Unicornis are opposite factions. If you're in one, Ephemer and Skuld are in the other. So for Vulpes players to face against Ira was likely based in that.

Re: Feb 9th - Kingdom Hearts Unchained ? ENG Update

One thing that I like about the draws now is that the new medals are guaranteed within 5 draws. Which is good. a few things that I don't like, that I hope will improve with time, is that whatever premium medal they are offering (eg COM Illustrated Sora) should come with 3 attack dots already filled, like it does with Japan. And it would also be nice to have a guarantee of getting certain premium medals with each draw you make. That would help a lot of us out. I have, somehow, managed to accumulate majority of the Premium Medals but have been unable to guilt them.

Re: Feb 9th - Kingdom Hearts Unchained ? ENG Update

I finally managed to 2 turn all objectives Ira. For me the setup I used was
Divine rose +29
Ariel and flounder with app
Any medal with dispel for slot 2 mine was Belle
Sora Donald and goofy with ab2
Jack and Sally ab2
Larxene b 100% guilt with ab2
Friend medal was also larx b 100% with ab2

For it to work both larxenes had to trigger both times but otherwise it just got me there!

Still, why is it like that to begin with? Ish just really weird they would go to lengths just to change the story depending on what union chu in, they could've made it the same union.

It's there to give the Foretellers more screentime in the game (though poor Invi still had almost no presence in the game by Browser X's conclusion), and to help drive the "friends outside of Unions" theme the game has going on, I believe.

Overall it really doesn't impact the story that greatly, since they all have the same lines. The only exception so far where Foreteller-swappable scenes don't all share the same dialogue is in the X finale's Foreteller boss rush battle.
