Org. XIII Event - Larxene

image

So Larxene B is pretty great for a guaranteed Tier 3 guilt medal.  She’s not quite as good as Marluxia A, but she’s free and only costs one gauge!  The event is remarkably easier than last month, so if you weren’t able to get Marluxia B you shouldn’t consider yourself out of the running for Larxene.

Larxene’s abilities have a lot of influence on these missions!  Specifically, four of the missions are “Kill the enemies with little HP”, a play on Larxene’s ability to clone herself when attacking.  Additionally, there are five timed missions where the enemies move around quickly and Larxene is known for her speed and difficulty to pin down.  The rest of the missions are littered with Wizards that pre-cast Thunder on you - Larxene’s element - and finally a showdown with a Behemoth, who paralyzes you with Thunder attacks.  With Square’s dedication to theming these Organization events, I’m REALLY excited for the next one!

You can get a total of 7 Larxenes, which is enough to guilt without a reroll.  Each mission also rewards 20 jewels for 260 jewels total. Here are the missions, their rewards, and the general strategy for beating them.  

Mission 1: Huey&Dewey&Louie
The ones that don’t walk around are the Little HP ones.  Target included.

Mission 2: Magic Mirror
Avoid the dogs.

Mission 3: Larxene
Four groups, all on the path down.

Mission 4: Huey&Dewey&Louie
The groups that only have one enemy are the Little HP enemies, including Target.

Mission 5: Larxene
Avoid the copters.  There are 3 screens.  This one sucks.  Don’t hug the walls.  First screen, the portal is in the bottom right.  Second screen, the portal is in the top right.

Mission 6: Magic Mirror
Two High Wizard groups at the top.  Four Wizard groups at the bottom.  Target.

Mission 7: Magic Mirror
Avoid the dogs.  Hug the walls.  It’s a lot easier than Mission 5.

Mission 8: Larxene
The ones with sparkles by their feet are the Little HP enemies, including target.

Mission 9: Hairstyles
Four unavoidable High Wizards before the final group.

Mission 10: Larxene
Avoid the dogs.  If they are moving too fast, just wait a second.  This is very easy.

Mission 11: Larxene
The groups that only have one enemy are the Little HP enemies, including Target.

Mission 12: Larxene
Avoid the planes and dogs.  Three screens.  This one is pretty easy.  Zig zag through the first two screens.  Then just run from one side to the other in the last screen.

Mission 13: Larxene
Just a Behemoth fight.  He’s got a lot of health bars, but he doesn’t hit very hard.  Bring some buff medals and a really good damage dealer and you should be fine.  J&S is great for this one.  For his first hit he does x1 strength.  For his third hit that goes up to x2 strength.  He has a chance to paralyze you too.

Title: No. XII

Event ends on Dec. 19th!  Good luck!

Climb stairs. Forget things. Forget forgetting. Literally no up side here.

Five hundred missions and $48,000 later, nothing has happened.

Momma in kitty ears gonNA KICK SOME ASS!!

Never happening.

Do you think that watching let's plays/walkthroughs are fine? If so, are there any recommended channels I should watch, and which game should I start with? I'm a broke person with little time.

Well, first and foremost, I really encourage everyone to play the games!  There are certain things video games do really well, and putting you in control of a character really heightens your emotions.  It brings out a lot of parallels between the playable character and yourself.  It makes the character’s actions your responsibility.  It brings out a lot of adrenaline and satisfaction you don’t get in Let’s Plays.  In a game like Kingdom Hearts, where emotion and connection is so important, I don’t think watching it on YouTube is a substitute for that.

But at the same time, I recognize that people don’t always have the means or time to play through a fifteen year old game series.  There are some people that are just outright don’t like video games but they love the story!  And Kingdom Hearts is a series I think everyone should experience, even if the medium doing so isn’t to perfection.  So I’ll say this.

If you honestly don’t think you’ll ever play the games, Let’s Plays are fine. ^_^

I’m not a person that has ever watched Let’s Plays so I really can’t advise any specific channels.  But I suggest your first time through you find a channel with

  1. no voice over.  The music and tone is way too good to have someone talking over it.
  2. has HD quality.
  3. will show gameplay and not only cutscenes so you get a better feel of actually playing the game.

As for the order, you should definitely follow my Beginner’s Guide!

With the upcoming PS4 release of just about every KH game, I’ve actually thought about doing Twitch streams or Let’s Plays when those games come out!  I had always wanted to do it on PS3 but sharing on that console was very difficult.  Of course, that won’t be until March when 1.5+2.5 gets a release!

I hope this helped!

Lastly, I understand this idea of Let’s Play and Twitch has really taken off, but honestly and truly, I still don’t get the appeal! o_o  As someone who really wants to encourage and spread the Kingdom Hearts franchise, I should ask: what do you guys think?  Do you want me to do Twitch/YouTube videos of the games?  Should I get a camera and mic for my PS4, or do you prefer straight gameplay?  Send me a message!! ^_^

Kingdom Hearts ~ For Beginners

This is the ultimate sign post for people who are just getting into the Kingdom Hearts series.  We’ll go through all the games, the order you should play them, and the important parts of each one.  No spoilers.

First and foremost: Why play Kingdom Hearts?

No one will be able to explain this better than Casen Sperry in this video :
(Please do not click the video link unless you are outright against playing this series and need some solid convincing.  There are minor KH1 spoilers.)

“Kingdom Hearts may not seem appealing to anyone over the age of twelve, but its deep storyline, beautiful soundtrack, innovative battle system, and heartfelt characters make playing this game an immersive and unforgettable experience.

The parallels between the player and Sora himself are what make it so easy to connect to this game.  We want to explore other worlds.  We want to help people.  We welcome people we don’t know into our hearts.

There’s a separate criteria than just the objective ‘was a game technically good or not’. The additional criteria involves the immeasurable.  How can you measure an emotional connection or a relationship?  I use words like ‘powerful’ and ‘beautiful’ to describe things I find difficult to quantify.  What I can quantify, however, is that only a handful of games have ever evoked such a response from me.  Kingdom Hearts is on that list, and I’m willing to bet that whatever your opinion was of the game, you know what I’m referring to.”

If you’re not a huge fan of Disney, please read this post where I explain the relevance of Disney in the franchise and why you don’t necessarily have to be a fan of Disney to be a fan of Kingdom Hearts.

Now that I’ve got you hooked, let’s get into the good stuff!

I just realized that each of the Princess avatar boards have titles and I want them all!  I don’t even know what they are and I want them all!  I hate not having money to spend on this silly phone game!  *cries*
