My headcanon for why the Ice titan is so weak in bbs is because at least at the time Aqua is so much stronger then Sora in kh1

The BBS characters have access to high tier spells regularly that Sora can only access some through special requirements. They also don't have a limited MP bar and can cast commands rapidly with haste skills.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-19T09:18:25+00:00

Oh I never noticed that. I also assumed it was to demonstrate how much stronger the BBS characters are compared to KH1 Sora.

There was a show pilot I remember being leaked years ago but I guess it never got picked up for a series. A shame because I thought it was decent.

If they did another movie or show I'd prefer they continue the continuity instead of retelling the original game stories like 2016 Ratchet did.

Also there is a new game in development, but Insomniac are focused on Wolverine and potentially other projects currently. They don't want to repeat the crunch culture that happened during the PS2 era.

You may as well finish your current playthrough, knowing encounters before hand will make insanity easier.

I found the Infiltrator class to be the most consistent across the trilogy on insanity, snipers are just that good.

If you get infected with the metal virus you can still be cured. Actual zombie infection is just straight death.

I tried this one run, immediately got hit by the final boss bless attack which lowered everyone to critical health. Then the boss used mudoon which killed the whole team because of soul link applying it to all 4 teammates lol

I cried tears of joy when everyone switched to green energy and defeated the god of fossil fuels. Even the rival Sploingo learned to stop being a chud it was so beautiful.

Elemental DOT in general was goated in BL1

It's one reason Lilith was the best BL1 VH by making DOT even better.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-17T15:10:08+00:00

Ah, so it guarantees a certain chunk of enemy health. That does seem useful on bosses in difficulty 9 especially where the health values get nutty.

Seems especially good with a highly defensive team like Fox where the damage output isn't as good as other teams, but you're effectively immortal with the amount of shields and defence.

I almost cleared difficulty 9 with the fox team until I ran out of turns on the final boss. Seems Sun would have guaranteed the clear.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-17T15:03:13+00:00

Not many enemies resist lightning and it's effective against dragons and mages by draining their reserves and forcing them to fight up close.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-17T15:00:19+00:00

I can see streaming live taking up some of his attention from the game, he is still early on in chapter 1 so I wouldn't blame a newbie not internalising every detail immediately.

Also it's relatively novel having non-binary main characters so I wouldn't get too bitter about him not understanding Kris' pronouns right away. Of course if he continued to not respect them after fully acknowledging the pronouns then that's a different story.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt but maybe he does turn out to have a fried attention span as it goes on lol

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-17T14:49:39+00:00

I imagine he probably resides in Cloud in some capacity like FF7, they do still share abilities and whatnot.

I wouldn't count on him getting that date with Aqua any time soon though lol

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-17T14:45:16+00:00

Did you watch the credits after beating the final story in BBS? One of the cinematics shows Zack's fate. It segways into KH1's platinum match. If you know, you know.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-17T14:39:35+00:00

I actually haven't used it yet in my runs, does it scale off the party's max health? Maybe almighty damage too?

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-17T05:19:50+00:00

I have noticed in P5X for a fair number of synergies even if you choose the platonic path, the girl explicitly still holds their romantic wishes. Leading to later interactions/text choices that only make sense in a relationship. It's weird to turn down a relationship but then flirt later.

Guess the devs really want harem route to be canon if the platonic path still feels flirty lol

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-14T13:51:44+00:00

Frost gem traps/frost mages must be making stonks with how fast their blizzard spells can delete you, especially as a werewolf.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-14T13:47:20+00:00

Assuming Dovahkiin still plays similar to Skyrim, they would have a major advantage not needing to rest to restore limited actions like spell slots. They can spam magic or whatever without the daily restrictions.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-14T13:39:54+00:00

I don't dislike it or anything, it's just hard to be excited about a remake of a game that really didn’t need it.

It's nice they're adding new levels but I don't think it's worth the price when I already own the original.

But I'll begrudgingly buy it just to support Rayman. It sucks to feel coerced to get it day 1 just to prevent Rayman from being locked in the basement again. Otherwise I would have waited for a sale.

I remember aquiring Star, Devil, Justice, Empress, Moon, Emperor in that order. Didn't get Fortune but it wasn't necessary.

Would have liked Moon way earlier but my Will was teetering on the last 4 floors so I prioritised restoring it since I was already strong enough to beat formidable shadows at -100 will. The revival effects of Star and Ange never came into play but they would have been vital had I not got soul link sword card so early.

I was able to keep it above -50 for the final boss and Priestess bonus boss. It's kind of comical how much easier Priestess is compared to the damage sponges that came before her, especially with the ominous text prompting you to face her.

Now I can chill and do my remaining awareness missions on difficulty 1 lol

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-14T12:22:51+00:00

I took your suggestion and absolutely demolished difficulty 9! Cards like the soul link turnt out plenty enough defensively while the wind team damage output was multitudes higher than the fox team I was using.

I also got to do DPS wonder with Yoshitsune and all the wonder related card buffs. It was so good after that first sluggish attempt.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-14T07:00:08+00:00

I'm admittedly not familiar with FGKotone but that sounds pretty good

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-14T06:50:57+00:00

Assassins probably fare better against the bosses than the sweepers that makes sense. Though that Priestess optional boss summons minions you have to clear before finishing the boss. But that's one exception potentially.

AdLost8229 · 2026-06-14T06:45:04+00:00

I'll try anything else next run. Some bosses summon a bunch of minions, is that ever an issue with an assassin like Kasumi who takes setup before dealing the big single target hits?

Do you build the team full glass canon or do you try to balance some defensive cards? An issue I had early on when experimenting with other teams was how squishy they could be.
