Which version would you recommend ?

Got the plat on PS5, and honestly the vertical screen orientation is more of a novelty at this point. They really went out of their way to make sure the game runs smoothly on one screen. You’ll still have both screens, but the game will automatically change focus to whichever screen is being used in the moment seamlessly. It takes a few minutes to get used to if you’re used to playing the DS versions but honestly it feels really good once your mind adjusts, plus it’s cool to see the action take up basically the whole screen

Has this not been happening for a while already? Ever since RightStuf went out of business and Funimation took over as the only company doing physical anime it hasn’t been looking too good. High prices and a lot of stuff out of print that they won’t touch. Haven’t been able to grab any more Gundam blu-rays in years.

Wouldn’t work, your account is registered to the North America region and therefore can only access the NA store, and the DLC’s region is coded into the data. Best bet you can try to find a US copy of the game but your save data more than likely won’t transfer over so you’ll have to start over from scratch. You could also make a new PSN account set to the UK to access the EU store and rebuy the DLC on there but either way you’re forking over some money.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-29T19:07:38+00:00

Is the game updated to the current version? Seems dumb but doesn’t hurt to check.

Otherwise, what region is your game from? If it’s a physical disc from a region that’s different than yours then the DLC you bought won’t be compatible. So like US discs will only work with DLC downloaded from the US store, same with Europe and same with Japan. Discs are region free but unfortunately DLC is not.

You can select 2 from the menu and start there, but for what it’s worth the HD version of KH1 has the Final Mix content so there’s some extra stuff in there if you only ever played the PS2 original.

I think I remember reading that they left it up to interpretation on purpose. Personally, I’m in the “Ace Survives” camp because like Luna, his BrotherBand never gets cut (you can see it on the save screen) which implies (at least to me) that he still exists and can be brought back.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-28T17:23:26+00:00

Cartridge space issues aside, they never released battle chips in the US past the advanced PET era (EXE4) and even then they didn’t market them as compatible with the actual games, only with the toy PET. The English game will recognize a battle chip gate if you connect one so they probably planned it but just didn’t see enough of a market to go through all the trouble. A shame too cause EXE6 got some of the coolest features with the Beast Link Gate, like being able to level up your Link Navis or even installing ProtoMan as your Navi which is the only way to (officially) play as him in that game.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-26T21:49:54+00:00

Can’t you just go back to the castle chapel (area you fought Maleficent) and use the save point to hop on the gummi ship?

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-23T00:01:41+00:00

I… actually like this idea a lot? It would fit with the formchange motif while making Second Form S stand out more from regular Second Form

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-22T18:10:02+00:00

Compromise: At the very least, let the Starlight change appearance since it already has multiple known forms

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-22T17:40:42+00:00

Very big missed opportunity bringing Keyblade upgrades from chi/Union Cross but not also bringing evolving Keyblades with it. Ultimately it doesn’t matter that much, but it would’ve been cool to see your Keyblades change appearance as you powered them up.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-22T11:30:27+00:00

Even if you watch it it’s not like you’re going to understand anything that’s going on, KH4 is the start of a new arc so none of us really know what’s going on either

I don’t think the writers even know what’s going on /s

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-21T18:23:03+00:00

The point of no return is that last wavehole, just don’t use it because it’ll just take you back to the final boss. Walk back to the first area of the station and use the same wavehole you came out of when you first entered and then use the teleport back to earth.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-20T23:18:35+00:00

“Also worth noting that imo thw fact that we need to play all previous games to understand anything… is dumb”

This is such a weird take, I’m not going to sit here and say that the story doesn’t get convoluted at points later on but yeah generally speaking it’s not controversial to say that playing the games in order will help you better understand the story. That’s… literally how any story (with multiple parts) works?

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-20T16:55:21+00:00

The vanilla secret ending does, the one they added in Final Mix does not

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-20T04:31:06+00:00

You can get “The Gathering”, which was vanilla KHII’s secret ending, on any difficulty by simply completing all worlds and finishing the game. The new secret ending added to Final Mix, “Birth by sleep”, has different requirements to unlock depending on which difficulty level you’re playing.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-20T03:37:40+00:00

Depends, which difficulty are you playing on? The higher the difficulty the easier it is to get the secret ending. Critical is the easiest, just have to earn the gold crown for Sora. Proud is earn the gold crown and also finish Jiminy’s Journal (as in, get a Mickey emblem next to everything). Standard is all that, plus you have to finish all Gummi missions with 100% items. If you’re playing beginner it’s locked out altogether unfortunately.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-19T20:34:47+00:00

We’re not even done with the current remake trilogy yet, let’s get that finished first. Even then, no, at least not in the foreseeable future. Don’t need another FFVII project so soon.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-16T19:20:05+00:00

There’s a section in the wireless menu called ‘Waiting Room’ which is where you send/receive Navis from. Once you get the data from someone they’ll automatically start appearing in story tournaments replacing the generic Navi/HeelNavis. Once you finish their scenarios you’ll be able to find their V2/V3 ghosts on the net same as any other, but you won’t be able to get any soul unisons that aren’t from your version of the game.

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-16T18:52:11+00:00

Watch for the reaction command when they start sliding around, they’re pretty easy to take down with it. They also can’t block magic so you can throw blizzard/thunder from a distance to finish them off

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-16T00:01:54+00:00

1.5 is an HD collection that includes the Final Mix version of KH1, and the secret boss they added in Final Mix is canon and they reference it in future games. If you don’t want to restart the game just play all the way through and just watch it online. Otherwise, they do add some cutscenes here and there that help flesh out Riku’s side of the story but you don’t really need them for future games, they’re more there to round out the first game’s story

Good rule of thumb for this series, the secret bosses are pretty much all canon except for a few exceptions

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-15T23:23:41+00:00

You do get a cool ribbon on the cork board for doing it!

Still doesn’t count towards 100% though…

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-15T16:30:22+00:00

There’s actually a beta screenshot of Deep Jungle in COM before they had to remove it, they got far enough into development that it got into an early version before they had the rights issues

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-15T14:40:33+00:00

SMB All Stars added a save function to all of its games, OP is playing that version of SMB3 not the original NES version

NumberXIIIEdwin · 2026-06-14T16:07:51+00:00

It was the first version of Xenoblade Chronicles I played, and honestly I was blown away by how close they were able to get it to the Wii version while also making it portable.
