IGN , you have no right to talk about kingdom hearts , at all , especially after your kingdom hearts 2 review
@Samurai-no4wu 14 days ago

Kingdom hearts will not tell that 70% of its gameplay is all a trick. They make you think it's easy and then the difficulty ramps to obsurd levels at the end with multiple bosses that get increasinly stronger and now you're playing dark souls. Kingdom hearts 1 is the hardest with the checkpoints being laid out hella far

Final Mix was literally the best one new dialogue, new cutscenes, new weapons and ability and new secret boss fights they did the same thing with Persona 5 royal

important for the initial weapon choice in the awakening. As a first choice, only the Rod(staff) will allow you to go up to 10MP once you're leveled up enough. MP is a stat that can't be increased in any other way so it's arguably the most important. Choosing the shield/sword first would result in 2 less MP by the endgame, 8MP instead of 10MP.

as great as Final Mix was, the final mix for KHII was absolutely glorious. First game is still the best of the bunch though

4:35 & 5:04 Absolutely wrong. The game did tell you to customise shortcuts for magic and equip abilities from the menu after you obtained fire and dodge roll from Donald and Goofy.

The fact this video is coming out over a decade since Final Mix came is really strange....

Remember people IGN gave Prey 2017 a 4 even though the bug they complained about wasn’t in final release and that score is still there.
