Which Kingdom Hearts game has your favorite battle system?
I know it's not very popular but I had the most fun with Re:coded's battle system. The story wasn't good in that game but playing it was so fun. To me, it's a better, more evolved battle system of Birth by Sleep's, which is already great. To me, it has the preplanning of BbS's command system with the kinetic, fast paced action of KHII. 3D is as smooth for me but still fun in its own way

What's the hardest Kingdom Hearts game?
I always play on either proud then critical with little-to-no struggles until i get to the secret bosses. I remember dying so many times against Vanitas' Remnant and Mysterious Figure in BbS and I haven't even touched the master armours in BbS FM so that's why it's the hardest imo. KHIIFM is a close second tho

UPDATE [Nov. 17, 2017]: Twitter user @SFENGaming contacted GameStop, and they stated that they have changed their release dates for the Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyls. The updated date is now apparently set for January 1st, 2018. Amazon has the figures listed for release on December 15th, 2017. We have contacted GameStop about the change in date and they have confirmed once again that the Vinyls are coming on January 1st. We have also reached out to Funko about this and they declined to comment. However, several Twitter and Facebook users have reported information that they received that conflicts with these statements. Twitter users @darksoulsdylan, @lunastarmochi, and Facebook user Matthew Jamar claim to have contacted GameStop, who apparently stated that the Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyls are coming out on November 23rd, 2017. Facebook user Caity Dornan stated that November 23rd is the pre-order date she got from MyGeekBox as well. Twitter user @geek1928 says that his Vinyls are coming from a place other than GameStop on Monday (November 20th, 2017), while Facebook user Marcus McKiddy was apparently told by his local GameStop that the pre-orders for the Vinyls will be arriving next Wednesday (November 22nd, 2017), and Facebook user Ian Juntunen replied and stated he was told that they will be arriving on Thanksgiving, which is November 23rd. On November 15th, Ian Juntunen said that he was told that they were going to be released "tomorrow" (November 16th), which has since passed. Rose Strife on Facebook expressed that she was told they were releasing at GameStop in December. It's unknown which of these statements are true, which of these dates are just placeholder dates, and which one is real. It might be different for each location and each store or online store. Stay tuned to this space for further updates. UPDATE [Nov. 19, 2017]: The Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyl is now available to purchase at Hot Topic! You can buy it on the Hot Topic website for $12.50 USD here. The glow chase variant will be shipped randomly, as usual.

Trying too beat some data battles (failed horribly)
The extra boss battles in KHIIFM will be the bane of my existence. After I found out about them, they were all I wanted to fight in KH but after getting KH2.5HD, I can't beat them. All the extra bosses in the FMs are way too hard for me well done on beating them

How are you getting ready for finals?
Honest question, what are finals exactly? In Australia, we have assignments and exams all semester but the more heavily weighted ones are due at the back end of the semester and some classes have exams in exam period which is about two weeks long. Does the US system differ? Also, I'm talking about uni, not high school but they're basically the same except there's no exam period, at least in my experiences

2017: How much have you spent on KHUX
I was in a very similar boat. I had to scrounge together all the gems I could over the events to get the KH2 Kairi which I did get on the 5th pull. I'm also from Australia and I couldn't justify AUD$23+ on a medal. I'd love for there to be a free way to get these kinda of medals even if it's 6 months later and we have to 3 star missions to do so or something like that.

2017: How much have you spent on KHUX
I've seen a lot of people complaining about how much the game costs and that the game is "pay to win." Personally, I have not spent a cent. I would like to support the devs for the game I have sunk 276 days of my life in into but I financially can't I also don't want to due to the pricing model of the game which I am against. But anyways, I've heard people spend 100s if not 1000s of dollars into this game and as much as I love Kingdom Hearts, I cannot fathom this! What do they have that I don't in the game? Cooler medals? Maxed out Lvls, keyblades and medals and all the outfits? Able to easily 3-star all missions? Cool but we're all still at Mission 600 (Global version). The only issue I had was Mission 675 (Japanese version) where the boss had two more underlings and one would heal all the damage I took which made it impossible to beat So just out of curiosity, how much have you spent of KHUX? What did you gain? Is there a whole new game I'm missing coz I don't pay for it? Please lemme know
