KH2 Changes in Terra's abilities

[Nick Sideris 1,551]

Why Terra had different abilities in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix ? Ok someone would say that Nomura didn't have the idea of creating Birth By Sleep. But maybe he could have waited a little long .

Well, KH2FM was three years before BBS, and it's not like Square already had every single command made for Terra back then. He does have the Keyblade Cannon and Rider however.

There could have been restrictions. Or maybe some of them seemed way too good to be in used as a playable character

But some of them were added. There is the Keyblade Glider, for example. I never really played BbS, but I remember seeing a video that Terra enlarged his keyblade, and shoot some kind of Light laser (that came out weird)

Some of the abilties were added as you can see, but they probably met some restrictions when had to add the others. Or even dropped for some reason.

 

And what do you mean could have waited a little long? To release the game? 

[Indecypher 495]

Maybe the same reason he doesn't have a cape.

 Keyblade Cannon

Yeah that's the abiltity I mentioned. Didn't know the name

[Dracozombie 4,554]

Maybe he felt no reason to use them during the fight.  Those keyblade morphing tricks were painful enough.

Yep i mean he could consider making Birth By Sleep first and then FM or wait a minute was KH2FM  created after BBS ...no...

hum... KH2FM was created before BbS, and he added the fight to make something more gripping for the future of the series, as well as the "Birth by Sleep" video as Secret Ending. It's such a small thing, his abilities, I'd personally have a boss then, and not to worry about this. The Secret boss is much more thrilling, and it sure doesn't bother me that some abilities were not BbS. Of course, it would make the game look even more, awesome, but it's a small feature.

And I think Terra could use the bow at Deep Space or something like that.

What?

 

Now you got me confused.

I am pretty certain that as good as the game ended out, the psp was limited in comparison to the ps2. Like Indecypher said, the reason as to why none of the three had any capes was due to frame issues, so recreating such a fast-paced and flashy combat style for Terra would probably be quite difficult. Plus, it would mean they had to do something insane with Ven and Aqua as well, or Terra would just be plain overpowered in comparison

Simple. Once the Heartless were unleashed upon the Realm of Light, Terra's Lingering Will spent the next 9 years killing any yellow-eyed little bugger that got near him and got he stronger as a result.

 

Also different battle system and capacity restrictions.

Bloody Nomura thirst for multiplayer. Took away our capes.

[Shazzam 142]

Well, as stated above, they incorporated the cannon and the Keyblade Glider. Looking at some videos, the Lingering Sentiment seems to use a Ars Solum like move, and one that kind of resembles Sonic Blade.

I don't know if it's just me, but I kind of get annoyed when people refer to the Lingering Sentiment in Kh2 fm as "Terra".

I tried explaining to my cousin that's not Terra, just his sentient armor. Kinda grinds my gears...

Lol, maybe we'll get something cool to replace it with in 2.5

[Rob 5,571]

An overpowered main character, whose more overpowered than KH2 Sora? Not happening.

[Weiss 8,279]

Kh2 came before bbs

Also bosses are always more powerful ability-wise than characters so they had to tone it down for bbs

Nomura said he did but it caused framerate issues so he took it out.

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

Simply put: having a playable character that's as strong as a secret boss is just broken. Terra was all crazy badass in FM+ because he had to kill you, and do it in a demeaning fashion. If you could do all of that in BbS, then you would be unstoppable (aka "unkillable"). Just defeats the purpose of the game.

 

But at least you get Blizzaga, Magnega, and Utima Cannon.
