    I think maybe this weekend I'm gonna give grinding out bullshit in KH1 another shot. If it doesn't click with me, I'll just watch the ending on Youtube.

    so how does the DLC integrate with KHIII? do I have to play through the whole game again to see it?

    Just a reminder (and a fair spoiler warning to XBox users) that the PS4 DLC release is today/tomorrow!

    Western region release is imminent; eastern markets are starting to delve into the content and videos are starting to show up on YouTube.

    Is there a preload for it?

    I'd like to get it all set up tonight if possible.

    Not sure, maybe? I pre-ordered the DLC and it has the timer ticking down but not sure if that is for the download or for it to unlock. I would think Sony/SE pushes the 1.07 free update first then checks if the account is waiting for the DLC files then pushes those afterwards, if possible.

    Cross-posted from G&T thread:

    Yet another reminder that there is a mobile game for KH (and not to be outshone with the inbound DLC):


    Stay tuned for an important announcement tomorrow at 5pm PT! #KHUX

    Dat Key Art... :o

    So it seems like from what I’ve gathered this only has about an hour of new story content, and a lot of what’s added is optional boss battles where you play as other characters?

    Main DLC
    The Re:Mind scenario.

    Limitcut Episode with thirteen additional bosses.

    Secret Episode with an additional secret boss.

    this seems...kinda not good?

    I've never cared for their "postgame superboss" kind of content and this seems to be mostly that, and the story added feels unneeded at best and just further incomprehensibility without answer at worst

    for 30 bucks it definitely doesn't seem worth it to me

    I dunno how long the "secret episode" is but that comes after you finish the other stuff. So there might be something cool and interesting there as well story wise!

    I have no clue exactly what is in there so no spoilers.

    But I do like that it comes after doing everything else so I actually have good motivation to beat all the new bosses.

    as far as I can tell the Radiant Garden content is
    you are standing in Merlin's house and Squall, Yuffie, Aerith, and Cid are there and you can walk up and talk to them and then walk up to Cid's computer to trigger the cutscene and then you're done

    Yeah, I'm sorry to say that pretty much this entire DLC is bullshit.

    There are, like, 3 pretty hype moments that I'm glad were included? But otherwise, it's overwhelmingly filled with stuff that's either totally pointless or just frustrating to deal with.

    How do you even get to the dlc stuff?
    like, I picked the dlc from the menu and did the whole little boss rush thing there, but then it spat me back out in the labyrinth. I'm not really clear if it wants me to beat the game again? I guess it must, because I don't think all the fights would be here again otherwise, right?

    What I was reading was you first to the Remind chapter. That opens up the limitcut bosses. After you finish those it opens up secret chapter.

    The Labyrinth is part of Remind. You have to do all that shit again, with a few extra things sprinkled in.

    Let me tell ya, it ain’t any better at level 99. Limitcut Xenmas is a real fucker. Unavoidable grapples, is completely invincible during most attacks, virtually un-interruptible, no clear indication of when you’re supposed to do damage, stunlocks you constantly. All the shittiest parts of KH combat all in one boss!

    I think I’m on Normal? Assuming your save data’s difficulty carries over.

    Edit: I’m at work, so I can’t check right now to say for certain.

    I was at level 99 and had Ultimate Weapon and the best equipment in the game, so I beat the original secret boss on the first try. No real issues.

    With the same setup, these limitcut bosses are absurd.

    how dare they make Luxord matter

    I am personally offended he appears to be the Knockoff Ignis to Yozora's Knockoff Noctis (Knocktis)

    it seems like he's the original version of Noctis before Square kicked him off the project

    he's taking the one franchise that's his that he can still work on and using it to make Versus 13 and TWEWY 2, two things Square will not let him do

    and I gotta say, I respect the play

    Yeah, at this point?

    I'm absolutely infuriated.

    I might as well have set that $30 on fire. I finally got past Xenmas only to get totally blocked by Luxord and Terranort. I'm never gonna finish these atrocious boss battles, so I'm gonna have to watch the cutscene on Youtube. And if I'm already going to have to do that? Well shit, why'd I'd even spend my money on this garbage anyway?
