      ​@@PixelHeroViishdrop me nots exist in literally the first world. Dropping is literally not an issue. During my first playthrough I thought it was bland that I could just bypass dropping via. an item. I got so far in Sora's playthrough that Riku was 1 or 2 worlds behind.

      @PixelHeroViish Місяць тому +7

      @@AllStarKingD Oh I know, but that doesn't make it any less annoying, because now you have to switch out a Command with the item and force all of them to reload, then switch back and wait again. Now with that in mind, okay you use them as often as you need, now the mechanic doesn't matter in the slightest so what's the point of it being there?

    The fact that this video gave me more information about the mechanics of how DDD works when it wasn't even the focal point of the video compared to every other video I've seen of this game is just insane. Mad props to beating this game, I would never dream of attempting to do this.

    Hi, I speedrun this game on lvl 1! I certainly won't argue it's not the worst lvl 1 run, it's pretty rough, but for those curious there are a few things that can be done to take the edge off.
    -Drop bonuses are huge. Magic or Attack Gain lvl 2 or 3 make a huge difference in your damage output, especially in early game. Grinding droplets as Riku is really easy once you've beaten The Grid, the turrets in that room before the boss give a lot with the reality shift.
    -Status effects can go a long way. Slow and Confuse in particular are very useful on mob fights, and Slow is useful for a few boss fights too. It's a lifesaver on Commantis.
    -You can cheese Spellican if you have enough Collision Magnets. You're welcome.
    -For all of Riku's final fights, before you drop to fight Xemnas, you can grind so that Riku will have Overcast after the Xemnas fight, grind droplets for Sora to have drop bonuses, and then since the game doesn't give you a chance to drop after Xemnas those drop bonuses go right back to Riku. Only have to grind up that lvl 3 magic or attack boost once for all of final fights.
    In any case, congrats on the dub! Getting through this game on lvl 1 at all is no small feat, hope KH3 treats you better.

    This right here is why Kingdom Hearts will always be my favorite series of all time. Excluding the mobile games, I don’t think any KH game is really “bad” or “terrible” it can be brutal and frustrating for some challenge runs at Level 1 or on Critical. Yet, there still enjoyment to be fond on what mechs really worked and just a overall perspective of these games now post Dark Seeker Saga.

    Here as one of those who has in fact played both TWEWY games. DDD got me interested in Neku and the others, so I wanted to try their original game to see what it was like. I started the original DS version, but ended up fully playing through the Switch version(and also played NEO on my Switch). And in doing so the first game of the two became a genuine contender for my favorite game of all time. It's easily in the top 5 at least. Anyone who has a Switch and the money to spare/some other way of trying the game like borrowing it from someone, I 1000% recommend giving TWEWY a shot.

    Fun fact some DDD bosses can stagger, the way stagger works in 3d is like the reverse of revenge value where, after a certain value is reached, the boss will stagger. Xemnas is special as his stagger value is stupidly high and guarding his attacks reset the value. Link attacks and shock/double impact are extremly effective against Xemnas. Do not ever trigger the reality shift against Xemnas, you only harm yourself because xemnas becomes unstaggerable and becomes more aggressive for little benefit. The reason reality shift wasn't appearing is because of the moves you chose to use. It seems moves like sliding crescent (or whatever rikus was called) give reality shifts more often.
    Fun fact young xehnort can be easily and consistently staggered. All you have to do Is hit him twice with something other than a counter or sleight (dependent on sleight).
    Also slide roll isn't that good, it turns your dodge roll timing more into parry timing, good to rack up that stagger value if you can time correctly.

    I've had Dream Drop Distance since 2012 and it's been the only KH game where I never beat the Critical Mode because I found it so frustrating especially compared to other games and it wasn't until recently I decided to retry the game on Critical Mode and it was better and worse than I remembered. The beginning and especially The World That Never Was are easily the worst parts of the game so I can't even imagine the pain of a level 1 run.
    That being said, mainly due to Union X's ending I did grow a bigger appreciation for the Dream Eater system and constantly swapping them around was pretty fun to experiment and get more out of it.

      With the non numbered titles they always introduced some annoying mechanics. The command deck for bbs, the dream eaters in 3D, the grid system in days. I think people are divided on these games based on how annoying they find these systems. I outright think days is a overall bad game due to the grid mixed with the primitive gameplay and the empty worlds.
