KH2 What difficulty are you starting on?

[Izaiah 18]

I was thinking about critical mode, so I can get the extra boosts and stuff, but I don't know if it'll be too hard for me or too much of a challenge to enjoy it, if I'm struggling to have fun, because it's so hard. I've beaten KH2 on beginner, standard, and proud, and I'd say proud was the most enjoyable difficulty. I know critical is much harder than proud, but I don't know if it's worth moving up. Maybe I should do proud first, then critical? What do you guys think?

I'll be doing Proud mode as always. It's the way I've always played the series.

Playing Birth by Sleep on Critical currently. Not as much of a challenge as I thought it was going to be. Then again, I'm no where near the end of the game or the secret bosses!

[FerroAxel7 237]

Proud. Just easy enough to beat most of the bosses. Btw you need to beat on both Proud and Critical if you want that platinum trophy. 

[hatok 6,413]

Critical for KH2 (seriously, best difficulty mode of any KH game)

Proud for BBS (their critical mode is worthless)

atm playing bbs on critical 

[Skhyatze 165]

Critical all cuz when you are rusty you play it on the hardest difficulty.

Critical for BBS..

[Shulk 8,623]

Critical because I actually want a challenge out of both games for once. I also always go with the hardest difficulty, anyway. I can't enjoy them if I'm on Standard or Beginner.

[KH4Real 749]

Standard don't gonna try to beat it on critical anyway cause of the maester ice cream trophy.

But I'll try to defeat the secret bosses.

 

So for KH2 standard archieve everything then later I'll start on critical .

I'll play both games on Critical mode.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix on Proud first, then Critical.

 

Birth by Sleep Final Mix will get the same treatment.

 

Peace!

[SirBuckford 43]

I always 100% my KH games on Standard, and then I replay the games on the other modes.

[Drones 58]

KH2 on proud for the trophy and BBS on beginner since it doesn't matter.

 

Can someone tell me if the minigames are easier on beginner... if so then I have more reasons to wait on getting the platinum. 

[Akini Akahana Akiko 1]

Normal!!! :tongue:

Proud is way too easy in both games and I've already beaten KH2FM on critical so I'm going with critical. I honestly find proud way too easy in KH2FM so I don't find it very fun in comparison to glorious critical difficulty.

[Blaze27 40]

I'll start on Standard and then after I get all the trophys that I can on Standard I'll be moving to Proud mode.

[BlankShell 638]

I started with Critical, but I wouldn't recommend it for everybody. I've never played KH2 on Critical, since it wasn't available, but Proud always seemed like a good balance to me; in this case, I'm both a masochist and a trophy collector, so it was time to step up and try Critical.

 

For BBS, I would say that Proud is a little too easy, but maybe do Terra's on Proud just to get the hang of the controls.

[mistydolphin 25]

I do the same thig i do with every game iplay, start at the lowest and work my way up. I beat the original kh2 and bbs on the hardest difficulties way back when, even sephiroth, which was hard as ****. But im not stupid. im going into new territory, with new secret bosses. once i have a better feel for their capabilities, ill try the harder ones.

[Anti-SOLDIER 68]

I started off on Critical mode and man, is it hard.  I have died more often than I ever have before but it doesn't really feel cheap or bad.  There's a way to avoid every attack in the game and the difficulty just feels right.  You also get compensated by starting off with a lot of abilities.

Just remember to use No Experience/Zero EXP. It makes everything challenging

I think I'll go without that, honestly. I like a challenge, but I feel like it would just be plain tedious trying to slowly whittle down a boss' health at level 1. I'll probably try it at some point, just not my first run.

I recommend trying it, beating bosses feels so much better
