Back in my low level Proud Mode game I remember dying like 5 times. Maybe it's just me but now this is not too hard. All you have to do is watch out for the Samurai, those things can combo you to death. The Dusks and Creepers go for the gate. They're pretty easy to avoid and easy to take out. It is a little bit of luck, but hopefully the Samurai will be attacked by Leon instead of coming after you. If one does get away from Leon, Guard its attack and do its Dual Stance. The Reaction Command isn't that hard to do unless you're not paying attention. Getting a no damage was tougher. Same strat applies. Just remember when you kill all of one type of group, another group appears. So it might be wiser to take out some Samurai before killing all the Creepers or Dusks. Difficulty for normal win: **** Difficulty for no damage: ***** ---- Q: How do you stay Level 1? A: In Critical Mode in KH2FM, you are given an EXP 0 ability at the beginning of the game. Equipping it makes it so you don't gain experience. Drive Forms aren't affected by it, so you can still level those up. Q: What's Critical Mode (CM)? A: Critical Mode is the new difficulty mode in KH2FM. It's basically slightly harder than a low level Proud Mode challenge. Q: Hey how come you have (Insert ability here) at level 1 when you get (insert same ability here) at (insert KH2 required level here). A: In KH2FM, they switched some abilities around and made some where you don't have to level up to gain them. A perfect example is the Scan ability. Q: How can you do 2 finishers so early on in the game? A: Just like with the EXP 0 ability, you're also given a Finishing Plus ability at the start of the game. So you can do 1 normal finisher + a second finisher. Q: How come I hear English voices if this is KH2FM? I thought it was Japanese! A: KH2FM has English voices with Japanese text. Simple as that, I don't know why people can't grasp that. Q: How can I get KH2FM and how would I get it to run on my PS2? A: If you have the fat PS2, like me, get Swap Magic + a Slide Card. I got the Swap Magic 3.6 + Slide Card deal at thegiantstore.com. I also bought KH2FM at play-asia.com
