I gave a high level red-green colorblindness and have really thick glasses, plus my convergence excess issue. My eyes are pretty bad. But I still have no problem with the 3D on the 3DS, full-throttle, for hours on end. I prefer it that way, though if I am tired from work or something, my eyes stop focusing right or I can't hold the 3DS at the right distance/angle without it flopping over, so... I do turn the 3D down in those instances. Still, I don't have much of an issue and I totally fall for the 3D gimmick. I only recently got my 3DS, so this is the first and only game I have played in 3D. Not to mention, I've only seen two movies in 3D--Lion King and Avengers. So it's still a new thing for me, no matter what others think about it.

If you notice Riku's life bar, he isn't that far in the game. And the Frog Prince isn't what's hard. It's getting past all the little guys who distract you. Notice how the player keeps using Zero Gravity to render the surrounding little guys less annoying. =P If you don't fight him again until much later on, your HP will be much longer and you will probably have some efficient Dream Eaters to help you out. Not to mention, your attacks will do so much more to him and his minions. By the time I went back to him, I was 1-2 hitting all of his minions, making them less of a threat and more of just a pointless obstacle to defeat until he summons more. Now, going to the final battle in Fantasia with Riku will be interesting. I just realized the "second" time I fought him was as Sora, in Prankster's Paradise, so I didn't beat him completely in either scenario yet. I'm saved until a bit before you meet him in Fantasia for Riku and I haven't found him again with Sora yet, either. I'll let you know if anything interesting happens during or after the final fights.

More specifically, I kept dying when I first found and tried to fight him, but then I leveled up and came back and... he was beaten so easily, I was a little disappointed. But he disappears after his life goes down to a certain point. I fought him a second time in another world, and... maybe I have to fight him a third time? I'm not sure if I beat him or if he disappeared again... He's not a very threatening secret boss, if you ask me. I am looking forward to Julius, though!

Having played it in Japanese already, I have to say--the worlds are 90-95% new. Traverse Town was pretty bland... until I found the new districts. And the freaky clowns in Prankster's Paradise were... well... freaky. Riku ended up inside Monstro again, though. One of my least-liked worlds ever, even though they made it slightly new by adding more to do in it, I guess. I haven't beaten The World That Never Was yet, so I don't know the ending yet, but I'm going around to other parts of the game to collect all the treasures before I finish it. I heard something about being able to explore a tiny stretch of Destiny Islands, but... I am highly doubting that rumor. I don't count on it.

I don't feel weird now that I know there are others who do not have problems viewing the 3D for especially long periods of time. Though I'm curious if it has to do with the fact that I have "Convergence Excess," a condition where my eyes cross more than is necessary (not noticeable to anyone else--I only found out in recent years) unless I'm focusing on something. I can cross my eyes to major extremes quite easily, though I can't "diverge" them very easily, making it hard to focus on objects that are further away. Is anyone else who can deal with the 3D without consequences like this in any way? Like, are you able to cross your eyes easily?

Okay, hopefully I'm doing this right, as I signed up here just now so I could get some help. I couldn't find any help online... My problem: It tells me I have no memory stick, thus it won't let me save. Details: In fact, I do have a memory stick. It's a 1GB, with over 100MB of space left, even after I did the 400MB Data Install. I do NOT use Custom Firmware, and I have the official Japanese disk. I am updated to 6.20 Official Firmware as well, I believe. I've tried restarting the game many times, playing through until the first save point (failed to save) twice, removing and re-inserting the card, and just about everything I can think of. When I searched for a solution online, all I found were people with Custom Firmware having the same problem (of which there is no apparent fix yet), but since I have never used Custom Firmware, this is really strange. I beg for someone to help me. - Juno
