they are kinda expensive, plus i would have to buy a japanese ps2, do you think its worth it?

no. not worth it at all.

no. not worth it at all.

 

yeah i know they are quite similar to the original versions of the game but they seem like they would add some fun to the games i already love

They're not that expensive...the 1st FM I will usually see being sold for around $30, same with KH2 FM+. Now the BbS FM, those are more expensive, around $60~$70. o3o

I don't think so. Unless you want all the extra stuff (like me! ) than go for it. If you don't care about the extras, it's not worth it.

its not to expenive i have kh2 final mix + witch cost me around 32 bucks with shiping it cost around 36 bucks khbbs final mix is the most expenive witch cost me 74 bucks with shiping and kh1 final mi cos me32 bucks with shiping. also you dont need a jap ps2 all you need is swap magic 3.0 or higher and if you have a fat ps2 you need a slide tool if you have a slime you need a flip top

Do you speak japanese though? I don't and would not even buy the final mixes because it would take too much work to patch, and/or learn japanese

is it difficult playing with all japanese text? im still undecided whether its worth it

where do you buy swap magic and a flip top? i cant find em on amazon

Actually, I think that the Final Mixes are English dubbed but Japanease Subbed. So, the only hard thing to understand is the new content.

Not really that hard. If you played the dub version then you can pretty much wing most of the things from that and for the new things you can find an online translation guide

but arent all the menues, commands and everything in japanese?

They are.

 

It's english cutscenes and dialogue but the menus, commands, etc. are in Japanese.

 

It's easy to figure it out which is which (or what you need the most) as you go along.

 

Use Google if you are trying to find a specific thing in the game like Fire or Magneta. I did that for BBS FM since there are over 50+ commands.

 

KH2 FM not so much.

Yea but as the other guy says We just wing it go with the flow sorat thing you dont know what it says but once you play it yo start to understand it fells like a second nater to you.Also just google swap magic they have there own site it has a bunddle it comes with a swap tool or flip top.

khfm, kh2fm, and khbbs have been fully english patched. so you don't need to worry about patching them

 

where do you get the patches though?

I would buy,KH2FM is so amazing *-*

 

where do you get the patches though?

 

KH1 FM don't have patch,KH2FM and BBS FM have.Just look at the google,you will find it

Well, I HAVE always wanted to fight Zexion's Data/Absent Silhouette.

Just remember not to talk of illegal downloading, guys.

I think it's just more gameplay

Just remember not to talk of illegal downloading, guys.

 

Thats what i always say.

It worth seriously, just have the 2 final mix one cuz it's the only one that got a lot of additions.

If you got'se moeney to waste then why not? If not, don't.

 

They aren't that much different. I have my Final Mixes but I don't think other peoples should as well. A few extra bit of content... not that much.

Hell....Yes.

 

1) More content

2) More story

3) More weapons

4) More replay value.

 

What more can I say?

I'm going to break down all the Final Mix games for you.

 

KHFM - Not much is changed. This was mostly made because the US version had a ton of new content the Japanese version didn't so a lot of new content is already in the US game. A few of the new additions are actually gotten through the US only content that was originally pointless. Sephiroth now gives you the One-Winged Angel Keyblade, Kurt Zisa gives you Zantetsuken, ect. They also added a ton of new attacks, many of which first appeared in Chain of Memories like Slide Dash and Stun Impact. They also added Gummi Missions akin to KH2. They added a new unknown boss, now known to be Xemnas. But the most useful change is in the cutscenes. If you die to a boss and have to fight him again, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SKIP THE SCENE! This was a total nightmare in the original game, especially for long winded scenes like before the 2nd RIku fight.

 

KH2FM - US KH2 and JP KH2 aren't that different as far as know so everything here is new. This is the best Final Mix HANDS DOWN! Several new bosses including every org XIII member. Amazing new attacks. New Limit Form(Which is really overpowered). A new Critical Mode difficultly since the original was so easy.Trust me when I say this, Critical Mode feels like a completely different game since everything kills you in about 2 or 3 hits. Honestly, its pretty hard to find any gameplay flaws with the game. If you thought KH2 was too easy, get this and play Critical. Heck, try Critical Mode with No Exp. Its one of the greatest experiences you will ever find in a KH game since BBS's Level 1 is garbage. There are also 13 new mushrooms scattered throughout the game that let you play minigames and get weapons and items.

 

BBSFM - Much like KHFM, this game was mostly released because the US game had more content then the Japanese. Though the game does have a few new bosses and some new combat minigames. There is also a second Final Episode called the "Secret Episode" with a new final boss. There isn't a whole lot new here if you played the US game but there one thing worth bringing up. Mysterious Figure got a major downgrade in Final Mix. Aside from having a less aggressive AI, his really unfair attacks were nerfed. Collision Magnet and Unison Rush could kill you even with Second Chance and Once More. You can now Air Slide out of Collision Magnet and Unison Rush doesn't break combo mid-attack(As far as I have seen)

 

Overall, I'd say KH2FM > KHFM > BBSFM. Note that I am rating these by how much was improved from the original. BBS was already almost perfect so there wasn't much they could do. KHFM had some nice improvements that it really needed, ESPECIALLY the cutscene skip option. You do still have to watch the scene AT LEAST ONCE. KH2FM has the most improvements and the best. The insane difficultly spike from the US KH2 is probably one of the best reasons to get it.

 

Hope this helps...

thanks a bunch, this really does help! you da best haha

is it difficult playing with all japanese text? im still undecided whether its worth it

 

 

where do you buy swap magic and a flip top? i cant find em on amazon

 

Google Free McBoot. Way easier.

 

And for KH2, I definitely thought it was worth it. KH1, not so much, although I do have it. I also loved BBS but that's because it's probably my favorite entry in the series. Plus the FMs for KH1 & 2 aren't that expensive if you get them off of ebay, like I did. The greatest hits versions are even cheaper, but I wanted original releases so it'd fit better in my collection
