Posted November 7, 20204 yr What's surprised you most when playing through any of the games in the series? Gameplay wise, not storywise. For me, doing Terra's story on Proud in Birth by Sleep and one-shotting Peter Pan with a shotlock.
November 7, 20204 yr I'm not sure about surprises necessarily for gameplay, but BBS confuses me often. I just finished a platinum run for the first time (not a big fan of the gameplay so it was a trek, but that's beside the point) and there were spots were the damage scaling made no sense to me. So I guess one surprise though in that vein was getting to Villain's Vendetta with Ventus after just obliterating every match in Mirage Arena before that, only to find that suddenly I was doing chip damage to every one of the bosses. So I left and came back after gaining only two levels I think? Boom, all the bosses die in a few uses of Lightning Ray shotlock. Really don't understand why a couple levels makes that much of a drastic difference in the game and kind of think its an annoying development choice, but oh well. Got the platinum anyways haha.
November 7, 20204 yr The lucky emblems in KHIII! I saw one and thought "Hahah it's Mickey! Is this an easter egg? It's cute." then bam all of a sudden it's an infestation throughout the game. Mickey shapes everywhere.
November 7, 20204 yr That's a really hard question. I guess probably just how hard overall I felt kh1 was- It was one of the last games of the series I actually played, and I had a lot more trouble with everything in it than any of the other games. The fact that I got stuck on the mob rush before the Final Rest on Proud Mode and had to replay the entire game on standard speaks for itself ?
November 9, 20204 yr Hmmmm, hard to say honestly, it's been a long while since I wasn't pretty darn familiar with all of the surprises. But I'd have to say prooobably Ventus Larxene and Marluxia all being from a period so ancient. Like, out of all the characters to link so closely, didn't really expect that, happy as I was to have Larxene return.

November 18, 20204 yr Honestly, there's plenty of memorable gameplay surprises. For me, one of the most recent is actually having been able to beat Yozora. That dude's a monster! XD
