Game: Kingdom Hearts II

[DragonBladeX]

Ah, thanks for clearing up my doubts, i guess its probably for dramatic effect then. The slowing down effect happens a few seconds after the boss is shown glowing and the camera always focuses on Sora in the end. Though in normal fights with objectives, the camera zooms in on the one who lands the final blow to the enemies. Another thought occurred to me, in KH1, abilities were awarded when you level up and fight certain bosses, i believe. For KH2, every boss or mini-boss, will award stat and abilities when the fight ends. Sort of a good way to enhance the Sora and his party's stats without too much grinding, imo.

It's the fight that we've been waiting for

Sora vs. Sephiroth (good quality and sound)

LEEEETTTTTSSSSS GEEETTTT RRREEEEEAAAAADDDDYYYY TOOOOOOO RUUUUUMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!!!!

[Phoenix20578]

Thank, Fucking, God

I was hoping for a re-match with Sephiroth. This time looks so much harder. I really can't wait for this game now.

i notice he no longer has "sin harvest"

[RedX1z]

thought it'd be at olympus again. anyways, that fight was longer than expected, so, yeah, i'll just assume it's harder than the first time you fight him in kingdom hearts 1.

[DragonBladeX]

I think he still has sin harvest. Theres a part where he floats up and glows pink and Sora has to glide up to him to hit him. Perhaps they made the casting time of sin harvest longer, which is good, cause hes deadly in other ways. Meteors, flame pillars that suck u in, that multiple sword blow , and that annoying teleport.

gah, that 15 bars is gonna take some time to whittle down.

[Paulyboy]

Jeeze, that many life bars, he also had clouds comet ability or maybe its magic. Cool fight though, he does seem alot harder that the 1st time you fight him.

[ChaosK]

keep in mind sora is a lot more aerobatic and also, i'm not sure what level that sora was but he was wittling down sephorith's health bars in the beginning one after another about 2 combos each, it was at the end where sephorith did combos and moves where you couldnt hurt him that took a long time (the final hit took almost 2 minutes to get off and sora had to heal 3 times for that final hit)

[anphorus]

He definately still does have "Sin Harvest" (Heartless Angel, really). It is the move where he floats in the air, the player gets hit with it about 3/4 into the video (his HP drops to near zero, and he already has no MP) The player then used an elixer (back to full Hp and MP).

Is it part of the mechanic of the game where about 90% of your health is represented by the last tiny inch? Because a lot of the time Sora seemed to be at about 1 HP and was getting hit without dieing. Another thing is that he doesn't seem to be using any of his Forms (or I'm just blind/forgetful).

I'm loving this battle system by the way.

EDIT:

@Paulyboy: Sephiroth also knows Omnisslash and, considering that Cloud was just an oridinary trooper with no sword training and seemed to know all these special moves (Limit Breaks). And the fact that the SOLDIER members you fight in FF7 as normal enimes know moves like Finishing Touch and Braver, I always assumed that all of Cloud's Limit Breaks were SOLDIER techniques. Which Cloud copied from Zack obviously. So Sephiroth knowing them makes perfect sense.

On a (somewhat) unrelated note: Hearing Sephiroth's name pronounced in that video and in Advent Children was awesome. Because that was how I'd always pronounced it, despite many of my friends arguing with me. Take that suckers!

[DragonBladeX]

Sora cant use his drive forms in this battle cause donald and goofy arent allowed to fight with him. That would make the fight drop in its difficulty and its 'coolness', its not everyday a kid with a key for a weapon singlehandly beats Sephiroth in a 1vs1.

On a side note, i noticed the player kept missing the reaction command. Either that timing window is really short or the player is going for no reaction on Sephiroth?

Edit: my bad, he did get a few reaction commands, it keeps Sora from being hurt by the multiple slashes blow. And it seems that Sora cannot be finished off by a combo attack, but if the blow after the combo hits Sora at 1 HP, i think Sora will be dead.

[Terracosmo]

I didn't watch the entire movie since I didn't want to spoil too much of the fight. I'm lovin' those air combos.

But dude, Sora sounds even wimpier in the japanese version than in the dubbed one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

[ChaosK]

^cool, first time dubbing is better!

[RedX1z]

hey, there are plenty of times where the dubbing is better!

[ChaosK]

...okay...umm is there any more news on this guys? a real release date maybe?

[Phoenix20578]

Well, the shipping date is on the 30th of March like I said before. The only other thing is that the store release is on the 31st.

[ChaosK]

so 2 more months.
