So I Played Kingdom Heart 2 Final Mix...

Kingdom Hearts 2 is an almost perfect sequel. If Kingdom Hearts 3 takes the best of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, then I can't wait to play it.

After reading over a lot the comments this is going to be a blanket statement. I did find the game easy, believe it or not. At the same time I'm not talking about the optional boss fights or the optional areas, just the base story. That's on me for not being more specific. It was my first time through the game but at this point I also had 3 games beat prior to this also on the hardest difficulty, so that may have something to do with it. Saying I have to beat the game on level 1 on crit mode before I can say it's easy is an argument for the sake of arguing and I'm not even going to try justifying why I don't agree with that. I agree with everyone saying, as a child this game would be hard, especially on crit mode. Thing is I'm not a child and so I'm giving my perspective from now as I played it. I can't help that I decided to join the series later than most. I love how passionate you all are and appreciate a solid discussion on this game or any game for that matter but I have zero tolerance for fighting/arguing cause you can't agree. I obviously don't expect everyone to agree, that's literally the point of these videos, to spark a conversation. No one, including myself can say whether or not a game was hard for someone else. We all play different, we all learn at different rates, and some may be naturals at this kind of game. There's are infinite reason for why someone might have experienced the game different from you and that's the whole point here, to hear them out. If you still don't agree then that's ok. You don't have to. That doesn't make them wrong either. Let's try to keep it civil here.

My favorite game of all time every since It came out. Glad more people are getting to experience it.

I honestly think Proud Mode is the hardest difficulty because Critical Mode is designed for the LV 1 challenge and gives you a while bunch of abilities at the start that you don't get with the other difficulties.

This was a really good video on my favorite game, holy shit 😭

[timothyjones]

Great stuff man. Very informative and I feel like I truly understand the game even though I have never played a any in the series. Well done sir.

Looking Back At This Game & Especially The Ending I Can See Why People Love This Game To Death. It's Such A Special & Classic Experience That Honestly Really Hasn't Been Replicated In The Series Yet, Mostly Talking About The Combat. This Game Is Just A Masterpiece.

KH2FM is my favorite game ever and in my opinion the peak of the franchise. I'm glad you liked it!

[gustavos.]

Great to see a fair video on KH2, it's rare nowdays since most of them are usually done by people that grew with it, wich is understandable, but it's is nice to see one like this!

Personally KH2 is not my favorite but it's defenitely up there in my ranks, they added a lot of great things and the combat feels very nice, but at the same time instead of fixing the KH1 problems (like bad plataforming) they just removed some things entirely, it's still a great game.

Also a curiosity, KH2 was released in 2005 in japan and 2006 in NA, KH2 Final Mix is the one that was out in 2007 as a Japan exclusive, it was basically a big DLC but on the PS2 in terms of content, it added a lot due to fans complaints at the time, like the Dodge Roll ability and the Roxas story fight, along with an huge amount of other things.

Definitely subscribed... look forward to hearing your thoughts on KH3 and other games. I gotta say you're really good at this game to have only died 67 times throughout your playthrough on critical. It may be one of the easier critical in the series, but still 👏

[thegamersician]

Yo! Came across your channel because it seems like we have a very similar theme and aesthetic lol. You were recommended to me because of my similar video on Kingdom Hearts 1.5!

Excellent video, I subbed and will definitely be checking you out more. Very well done, and you have a great voice to do voiceovers.

Looking forward to more of your stuff. Keep it up!

Great video man, I love kh2 it’s my favorite game ever

[haasieldiaz]

To be honest i replayed kingdom hearts 2 final mix just now as well, back then when i was a little kid it used to be really hard in critical mode, had a bad time especially beating terra and data bosses but now it was pretty easy lol just took me like 5 chances with terra and i died once to every data bosses so i guess i could understand when you say it's easy i didn't break a sweat. Now if where talking about lvl 1 critical mode then that's a real challenge, beating every boss especially the optional bosses in lvl 1 is very difficult and it makes you rethink every movement you make lol, otherwise nice video would be good if you actually record yourself fighting data boses and terra, good luck :)

[ganta]

in final mix you have to bring up the cavern segment and the daa battles!how come you didnt mention those?

[xMEECHx-mtid]

“Most of the bosses much less challenging and take less strategy and can be defeated by attacking head on without thinking” ohh boy, someone didn’t play on critical mode 😂😂

[transgamergirl]

as your description says i can definitively say game-play of kh3 is the perfect hybrid of the franchises games after the free update that released along side the remind dlc

5:55 i actually prefer this to QTEs. QTEs come out of nowhere and are the result of many unfair deaths. if you take a break and try to relax, you'll always fail, and if you're a slow oldhead like me you'll probably fail because you can't react in time. then you watch the cutscene again, and push the button. and if there's another one after that, hey, guess what idiot, you have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN. this is just a timing minigame, really, which i'm fine with, and yes, i am expecting death threats for saying i'm fine with KH2 atlantica, even tho i dislike it

10:02 i've never heard KH2 criticized for lack of strategy, usually i hear the opposite, that the other games pale in comparison.

15:10 release order best, fite me
