Do KH2FM and BBSFM have critical mode available to play on for the first playthough through the game?

Posted

I was wondering, since KH3D has you need to play proud mode before you can play Critical, is this the case for KH2FM and BBSFM? Or can you play Critical on your first playthrough?

Thanks for asking this. xD I'm pretty sure BBSFM will let you play Critical on the first playthrough since BBS did.

On the original BBS you can play any difficulty your first try but to get all of the trophies in the game you still have to play Normal and Proud along with Critical.

I think DDD was the only one you have to beat the easier difficulty before the harder

Yeah both KH2FM and BBSFM has Critical Mode immediately available.

Of those games critical Mode was only unavailable in the original Japanese release of KHBBS.  In the NA/EU versions and FM it was made available.  It was made available from the get go in KH2FM as well.  

 

Though they might change this to encourage you play again (like in DDD finishing proud to go back and do Critical to prove you can complete it, it encourages and makes you feel playing which is what companies want)

If they change that, i swear i will be pissed off honestly. I want to play Critical from the start.

Doubt they'll do that since we're just getting a port of BBSFM and KH2FM. Especially since KHFM didn't do anything like that on 1.5 Remix.

Critical mode was never made available in KH1, I'm just saying, I wouldn't bother but they might if they want to to encourage more people playing the game again and again.

Oh I hope difficulties stack this time speaking of that.

Yes but Final Mix Proud was basically Critical Mode except your health wasn't limited. In the original KH1 the hardest mode was Expert Mode. But in the FM version Square added Final Mix: Proud which is pretty much Critical Mode right there.

Same here. If they dont, then we have to play 12 playthroughs to platinum BBSFM with the 3 playthroughs.

Don't think they will. You will probably need to earn them separately like KH1, re:com.

And you will have probably again unchanging armor, speedster,..

Are you kidding me? 12 PLAYTHROUGHS FOR BBSFM, IS RIDICULOUS TO GET THE PLATINUM. THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE DIFFICULTIES STACK. They can get away with Re:cOM with 6 playthroughs but 16!!!!!!!!! NO FUDGING WAY.

Hm. I didn't think about the three stories.

But still they might have not that much trophies to fill BBS.

 

It may stack now and then they need to add Cricital to make it harder platinum like Uncharted.

THOSE ARE 42 TROPHIES ALONE, 43 IF YOU ADD THE PLATINUM. THEY CAN HAVE A HUGE TROPHY SET, AND MAKE THE TROPHIES STACK IN BBSFM AND KH2FM.

Yeah I see them coming then that way.

I was talking about adding trophy I know it was there before.

Like in KH1 they had zero-exp but there was no trophy.

The reason mayby was that the trophies just didn't stack.

 

If they will stack now they need to add critical trophy.

I feel actually bad for people who need to do this again.

Well i can see KH2FM having a level 1 run trophy since you get damage increased output and you dont die in one hit and you get 50 extra AP in critical mode plus the critical half abiltiy, so its not as hard as in KH1FM or BBSFM. If they put a level 1 run trophy in BBSFM very few people will platinum it since the damage output is shit in BBSFM and in 3D.

 

The trophies couldve stacked, as theyve done that in games like uncharted, its just that SQUARE ENIX DID THAT ON PURPOSE FOR SOME REASON.

 

But now with BBSFM THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT STACK.

I was wondering, since KH3D has you need to play proud mode before you can play Critical, is this the case for KH2FM and BBSFM? Or can you play Critical on your first playthrough?

Yes they have

 

I've finished the Final Mix version of KH2 twice on my Ps2 and it already has the critical mode

 

BBS has it since the English version...so there you go

Square Enix will do what they want. They love making them painful. I don't see them making them stack.

 

Feel sorry for Everglow, he's going to be platinuming both of them and recording/editing/rendering/uploading over 1,000 cutscenes twice.

 don't have to worry

Well the level 1 run for KHFM isn't all that bad because the bosses are tweaked as well. As for the number of playthroughs for BBSFM I'll agree that that's a ridiculous amount of times JUST to get the trophies for it compared to KHFM and KH2FM.

I know, but in the final world you have to fight waves of heartless and THEY WILL DESTROY YOU ON LEVEL 1 PROUD. But yeah, for the number of playthroughs for BBSFM is ridiculous, so THEY HAVE TO STACK. As for 2FM its not too many but i would prefer them to stack honestly.
