Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

[Tobi]

From people that saw trailer at TGS said the Armored person had the stature of a man and armor was silverish, which lead everyone to believe it was Eraqus. At the end of the trailer, he points his Keyblade like Sora does when sealing a world.

The Eraqus part isn't confirmed yet, I think, but the trailer easily leads to Silverish Armored Guy being Master Eraqus, especially considering the fact he uses a Keyblade as well. I don't know any other character it could be. Also hearing people now say Eraqus feet is some kind of hint as well...? I know it can't be Vanitas or Xehanort for sure...

From all the BbS sites/TGS thread lists Master Eraqus, so I don't know. Also, the BbS FM site is up as well. But yea, the Silverish Armored Guy being Eraqus is just a Theory at the moment.

Seems like Eraqus, cause the last couple of seconds he used what looked like the same chain attacked he did in the cut scene. Still, since it's on PSP we can hope for a translation patch or something.

[Charismatic]

I'll probably snatch up the final mix version even if there isn't one, I doubt it'll be that hard to figure out which commands are which and all that jazz after having played it in English and generally knowing most of the game's ins and outs. It'll just be slightly annoying fixing up your command deck if there's no translation... though there likely will be one since I think someone made a menu patch for the JP release of BBS before it came out stateside though I could be wrong. (that kind of thing hardly interests me for games I haven't already played in English)

[Kiarax]

Yeah, it had a full menu translation and a decent portion of the story translated too by the time release came around. Won't take long for people to slap a translation on FM.

[Kiarax]

Because it's not already obvious enough:

Despite being rather easy, Eraqus fight was maybe my favourite in the game. Definitely gonna play this once again just to fight this guy. Hopefully it'll be as awesome with some actual challenge.

[samalis]

Oh fuck them and their final mixes. I wouldn't mind this shit if we got it too but ughhh. Oh well at least it's for the psp so there will most likely be a translation patch.

I'll be pissed if they do this for KH3. Good chance they will though.

[Tobi]

I'm more interested in what the Secret Episode will be about. Hopefully it'll be decent. And the Monstro looks like a world by itself and not Mirage Arena level, but that's what I keep seeing being listed

[Kiarax]

When he appears in the trailer it has the Mirage Arena text saying Vs Monstro. They likely just gave him his own arena since... well, there's not really any locations in the game suitable for fighting a big ass whale, lol.

[Tobi]

True enough. I couldn't see it very well due to still not having any PC access at the moment. I'd take a 2nd look but it was already taken down.

[Nightmarelord]

O.O! hurry they said fuck y'all and made a FM with extra shit. shitting on NA fans once again. go go translation.

[Atreides]

Yeah sorry but as much as I love this game, the mini-games and arena mode are fucking terrible. Those tornados on the race track have horrible collision detection, and at least for terra it's almost unavoidable to turn without coming to a complete stop. Your CPU opponents have no problem turning on a dime, and they often speed up with no boosts in sight.

For the arena I've been trying to beat Harsh Punishment but a boss that can take away all your health and stunlock you indefinitely? I mean really.

I would have much rather they just make the game slightly longer, rather that put in a bunch of ill-designed minigames just for the sake of having them.

[Insanecyclone]

Mirage arena bosses are easy if you spam firaga and dodge like crazy. Each form of the prisoner can be stunned by Firaga so you get can a few extra hits off.

[Atreides]

I spent the entire last time I fought it tryign to dodge. Usually spam dodge well after second chance/once more has saved me -> finally get away -> curaga -> repeat

[Insanecyclone]

Renewal block is useful too when they come up from underground. Timing of the block can take some practice but it helps.

Their moves are predictable after fighting them more than once.

[Atreides]

finally beat it, still felt like I was cheesing it by spamming Shotlock (bio blaster is fucking nuts)

I will say I really enjoy the command board though, although half the time it feels like I'm getting fucked by the comptuer

[Tobi]

I hated Rumble Racing at first, but once you get how to drift the turns it's not that bad. I still fucking hate the last course with a passion. I pretty much abused Shotlocks for every single Arena boss, but the first few was easy since i didn't do it till I beat the game with everyone. For the last few bosses I abused Shotlocks for quick wins. Only took 2-3 Shotlocks to kill each one if I could get all hits in. Damage Syphon instantly refills my Focus Gauge back to max to spam Shotlocks even more.

My favorite Mini-Game is Ice Cream Beat.

[Arvin]

Beat the game as Terra, really do wish their story was a little longer but they made up for that with some pretty amazing/epic boss fights.

Spoiler: show

The Xigbar fight in KH2 was probably one of my favorite fights in all KH series, so fighting him again as Terra was epic. I just didn't think anything in BBS was as epic as all of the organization fights in KH2 (Xaldin, Xigbar, Saix namely)

[Charismatic]

You will.

[Arvin]

You will.

Spoiler: show

The Xehanort fight was pretty amazing, won't lie. I do think Terra is by far the best of the 3 too, I'm a few worlds into Ventus' story now. Are you referring to the stuff after you beat the game with all 3?
