From a North America standpoint, what are the changes between BBS and BBSFM? I've looked around but there seems to be an inconsistent list of changes everywhere. I know there's the Unversed Missions, but weren't there a lot of things added to the NA release that JPN got in Final Mix specifically to make up for it.

There's new deck commands that let you turn into unversed and then there's more Mirage Arena stuff! And obviously the secret episode at the end! That's all I really know.

Unversed colour changes, Mirage Arena battles, secret episode, deck commands. That's about it.

New things in BBSFM:

• Unversed Challenge Missions.
• Reskined Unversed.
• New Mirage Arena Events.
• New Boss Fights.
• New Keyblades.
• Illusion Commands from beating the UCM's that turn you into an Unversed.
• Mysterious Figure's Collision Magnet has been weakened.
• Secret Episode featuring Aqua's Journey through the Realm of Darkness.
• Ending/Teaser Trailer for BBS V.2 that never happened and probably never will.

There you go.

Can I ask where you found that or did you pull it from memory? I wonder what the new Boss Fights and Keyblades are.... I'm just going through now with a Terra playthrough and the only big thing I noticed was the Unversed Missions (aside from obvious reskins).

All from Memory. I thank you.

New boss fight, key blades and abilities. Pretty much like any other Final mix

Well obviously there's new stuff.... I was looking for specifics. Like, "New Boss Fight against Goofy!" or "New Dungeon called Cavern of Remembrance"

Not a whole lot of new stuff, most of the changes were also in the NTSC/PAL versions

New Command Style, New commands, different colored Unversed, secret episode with Aqua in the realm of darkness, new Mirage Arena challenges (including fights with the armors of Eraqus and Xehanort, and a fight with Monstro) just to name a few

Final mix has new commands, unversed colors, mirage arena challenges, and a keyblade that is better than the ultima weapon.

we'll find out in kingdom hearts 2.5 so jusy wait an see the changes yourself

It's already been said, but just so we're all clear.

 

New Unversed challenges that are available to all three characters.

 

New commands that allow you to change into different unversed as a gimmick. These are prizes for getting highest rank on the unversed challenges.

 

I think one Ice Cream Beat track is new.

 

Refined difficulty. You generally won't notice.

 

New Keyblades.

 

Monstro Battle. By far the easiest of the new Mirage Arena fights. You can do it around mid-game. Every odd-numbered round is against normal unversed inside Monstro, and every even one is against the Whale himself. Camera can get weird(er) though.

 

Armor of the Master.

 

No Heart.

 

Playable secret ending with Aqua that feels like a demo for BBS Vol.2 but starts with Blank Points.

 

2.5 will feature special goals in Mirage Arena events and matches.

New things in BBSFM:

• Unversed Challenge Missions.
• Reskined Unversed.
• New Mirage Arena Events.
• New Boss Fights.
• New Keyblades.
• Illusion Commands from beating the UCM's that turn you into an Unversed.
• Mysterious Figure's Collision Magnet has been weakened.
• Secret Episode featuring Aqua's Journey through the Realm of Darkness.
• Ending/Teaser Trailer for BBS V.2 that never happened and probably never will.

There you go.

 

Thanks for sharing that helpful list of new things in KH: BBS FM .

I got this from the wiki.

 

• Critical Mode has been added as a Difficulty Level.^[2]
• All Unversed have been given new color schemes. For example, the Flood is now purple instead of blue.^[2]
• The Sticker Album and its related quest have been added, though several of the rewards have been modified from the international release.^[2]
• The Rhythm Mixer Command Style has been added. It is musical-themed, and requires the player to press button prompts for the finisher.^[2]
• The Unison Rush, Voltage Stack, Illusion commands have been added.^[2]
  • The Illusion commands are obtained by completing Battle Missions, which can be found throughout the worlds as floating orbs emblazoned with the Unversed emblem, similar to that of the Vanitas Remnant. Each Battle Mission has its own rules and win requirements.^[2]
• Characters in certain cutscenes, including ones on the Destiny Islands with Sora and Riku, are given higher quality facial animations.
• The Skull Board has been added as a Command Board.^[2]
• Pete has been added as a Dimension Link.^[2]
• The Castle Circuit track has been added to Rumble Racing.^[2]
• The "Destiny Islands" song has been added to Ice Cream Beat.^[2]
• Vanitas Remnant gives the Void Gear Keyblade.[citation needed]
• Young Xehanort appears as a boss, and gives the No Name Keyblade.^[2]
• Armor of the Master, Monstro, and No Heart appear as bosses of the three new Mirage Arena battles, "Mentor of Light", "Monster of the Deep", and "Foresight unto Darkness", respectively.^[2]
  • The "Monster of the Deep" battle is made up of a timed stage where the player can attack Monstro directly, and an acid-filled stage within Monstro's belly where the player is sent once the two minutes run out. The player must defeat the Unversed within Monstro to escape and try to damage Monstro further.^[2]
  • Beating the "Foresight unto Darkness" Mirage Arena match grants the player a new Keychain, the Crown Unlimit Keyblade.
• A new secret scene named "A fragmentary passage" has been introduced, in contrast to the secret movies seen in previous games. In the "Secret Episode", the player controls Aqua through the Realm of Darkness, rather than watching the Blank Points secret movie from the NA release.^[3][4]
