Found on The Kingdom Hearts Facebook page:
Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Doc, Happy, Bashful and Grumpy…which dwarf are you most like?
Right now, I'm a cross between Sleepy, Dopey, and Grumpy. I need more coffee.
Birth By Sleep will be out in FOUR days! That PSP bundle looks awfully tempting. PSP 3000 in SILVER and it has a crown on it. Plus, it has some nice accessories like a 4GB memory stick and a movie voucher. Sounds good. Course I'm only saying this because my PSP is one of the older versions. Still works great, but I wouldn't mind replacing it with my very own BBS PSP. HEEE!! Will have to see.

Top Five Favorite Disney Characters
These aren't in any particular order since my feelings can change at any time, but these five are the Disney characters that have always stood out the most in Kingdom Hearts.
5. Ariel--Red haired mermaid from Atlanticia. In the first Kingdom Hearts, she is VERY useful as a companion since she is fast and powerful. Of course, it's expected that she be strong since the ocean is a harsh place. She's also adorably curious, spirited, and radically different from the "other" little Mermaid she was based on. Sure, she's from DISNEY, but still, the actual story is depressing.
4. Peter Pan--Flies, is powerful, useful, etc, etc, etc. Sure, he'll never grow up and tends to be on the simplistic side, but he's a well-rounded hero.
3. Mickey Mouse--I don't care much for the "King Mickey" thing, but he's been helpful in a lot of ways, ESPECIALLY in Chain of Memories. Had it not been for his card, I might not have been able to beat many of the CoM bosses. Now, if only his card would show up during the second Vexen fight...
2. Mini Mouse--DO NO UNDERESTIMATE HER. Her "faith" attack can wipe out any Heartless it goes near. Even though she doesn't appear much in the series, she's still quite a prominent character in her own right.
1. Goofy--Doi. Seems like he's dumb as dirt and yet has an awful lot of insight. I don't have to say anything about his prowess as one of Sora's "sidekicks".
And that's about it. I like some of the other Disney characters just fine, but they didn't stand out as much. I also don't count the Disney villains, but I'm kind of "meh" about Maleficient anyway.

RE:COM NeverLand not owned by Micheal Jackson
Neverland is one of my favorite Kingdom Hearts worlds for two reasons:
1. It's generally a very easy, to the point area. IIRC, in Kingdom Hearts, it was nothing more than the ship and Big Ben.
2. YOU FLY!!!
Just that in Chain of Memories the "Glide" ability is pretty much pointless and useless. So much for that. Neverland itself is confined to the ship. Peter Pan doesn't act like himself here. I know he's childish since he doesn't want to grow up, but when Wendy wants to stay in London, he totally freaks out and basically abandons her. I don't remember this happening in Kingdom Hearts. I guess I'm losing my memories. Hurhuhrhur. He comes around later though, obviously.
Captain Hook is refreshingly easy because it only took two times to beat him rather than 49337307435327491 times. He's fast and has a lot of zero/strong cards, but he's manageable. Thank God.
Vexen "YOU OWE ME SEVEN QUID YA PRICK"#4 in the Organization is not. Gamefaqs will say that he is, but it's easy to write stuff down and give advice. For someone like me, following said advice is always hard to do in games like this. Eventually, I end up breaking his zero cards and attacking from there while trying to bypass his shield. Combos are necessary, and I simply don't give up. I don't know how many times it took to beat him, but it takes far more than an hour.
Worse yet, I get to do it again in Twilight Town. HOORAY!

RE: COM Alice in Monstro Acre Wood *possible spoilers*
Alice in Wonderland lacked the drink this/get big and flower puzzle crap, so the stage itself was generally fine and without any incident. The boss monster, on the other hand.
*sigh* I can see why the reviewers said what they did about Chain of Memories. One of the biggest complaints was that everything else was relatively easy, but the Boss monsters were just damned near impossible thanks to the card system. Alice in Wonderland's Boss was generally EASY in Kingdom Hearts, but here? There was nothing that could have helped you except "Keep trying" and "Don't Give up". Even the Mickey Ears weren't much help. I ended up using Fire Boost/Ice Boost and concentrating on using Magic rather than just physical attacks. Lots of healing too. All of that eventually worked after a bunch of "I WAS SO CLOSE!" battles.
I loved how Alice played on the Queen's unwillingness to admit an fault. Oh, she never forgets anything at all, so yea, she gave the order for them to eliminate the Heartless. Sometimes it's so easy...yea, if you try too hard to remember, your memories may lie to you. Thank you, Cheshire Cat.
The opinions of Axel and Larxene haven't changed at all, so nothing needs to be said there. Axel sounds a little different though. Like, more sinister and quiet than the Japanese version.
Monstro ended up being the last of the first bunch. I HATED this stage in Kingdom Hearts, and didn't like it much now. The one difference is that the Cage Boss proved slightly easier than the previous bosses, but I almost lost. Thank god for magic and strong attacks. Friend/Mickey cards are nice too. No other boss existed in Monstro. Why should there be when you get to fight Larxene next?
I don't have anything to say about the Cutscene because I already talked about it in previous posts.
As for the Battle? Put it this way, if she's the easiest of the Castle Oblivion Org members, then I can't wait to see how the rest of them are. I lost to her a few times because in order to fight her, you need to make sure you don't run out of cards. You also need to make sure that you aren't gobbling spicy chicken soup and nearly fainting from sudden heart palpitations. Ugh.
Anyway, Dumbo proved very helpful and so did boosted fire magic and healing. I'd say that it took less times to beat her than those in Olympus, Halloweentown, and Alice in Wonderland.
Vexen's VA is no dud, so that's good. My TV proved better than YouTube because I saw how Axel basically glared holes into Larxene. Lol!
100 Acre woods was next. I dreaded this level in ALL of Kingdom Hearts and Chain is memories is no exception. There's nothing insanely difficult about this place, and is sort of an Oasis from the constant fighting, but it can be annoying too. I generally viewed it as interrupting the main story. The games were generally fun though. I ended up with a lot of powerful cards/items/abilities from this level in COM, so it turned out quite nicely.
Except for dealing with Riku Replica. Buur. Oddly enough, he didn't prove as difficult as I thought. I lost, at first. He hit me RIGHT before I could cure myself. I won the second time around. I didn't think I'd get off that easily because of my rather awful memories of dealing with Riku in Kingdom Hearts. Good thing I did.
Worlds after 100 Wood are Atlanticia, Hollow Bastion, and Neverland(one of my favorites).

Blegh the fandom
I've always said that when it comes to the fandom, I just don't know what to believe. When it comes to Chain of Memories, there's always been a division in terms of "For Roxas" and "NOOOO!!!" Some claim that no, it wasn't for Roxas because he didn't know him that well. Others say that, it was for Roxas. I say that in the case of human nonsense, the truth is somewhere in between. Especially since I could have sworn that I blabbed about this before either here or on my Livejournal.
Like any fandom, especially large ones like Kingdom Hearts, people are going to believe what they want to believe. I tend to do it, and it's no surprise to see others behave in the same manner.

Close to the end of Sora's story, and boy is it looong...
Just as a reminder, the vids linked come from kh-vids.net(linked to the side).
Axel vs. Marluxia
1. "Even if we forget each other, we'll stay in this together." I always wondered what would happen if the Three Disney Musketeers ended up seperate and forgetting each other. I guess they mean that even if they themselves forget, it wouldn't change what happened before they lost their memories of each other. Hurrr.
2. I certainly didn't expect to see a fight between Axel and Marluxia. I know whoever reads this must have thought I did based on the title link, but I was thinking in terms of a verbal confrontation. A very pleasant surprise. Sadly, I'm pretty sure Marluxia would have obliterated Axel. He's Lord of Oblivion for a reason.
3. Oh no. Not the "you cannot defeat me" line. That's been used in ninety percent of all RPGs in existance. As for everything else, I'm simply too gobsmacked to say much of anything other than "nice", except that I miss the part where Axel was the one who claimed that he would kill Namine to get at Marluxia(Or "run through her"). Something like that.
4. Of course it's worth it to save Sora's "hide", he's the only one who could beat Marluxia. I know that Axel does NOT want Sora and Roxas to meet, not at this point, but he doesn't want Sora to die either. Like I said, someone's got to beat Marluxia, and Riku has problems of his own. Axel got everything he wanted, so it's all good-for him.
5. Whoa. Leave it to Marluxia to have one of the most dramatic(and pretty) deaths ever.
6. Eheheh. Jiminy. I can't imagine Kingdom Hearts without him. It's almost like he has a cable plugged into the right answers. At least a lot of the times he does.
OHHH! Pinky swear! Now that's something I haven't seen since High School Band! How adorable!
7. Sora looking at that charm reminded me of the scene where he was given that charm. Like a fat puffalump, I teared up right there. One of the most touching scenes EVER!
Axel Second Battle
Good Lord! Axel is the devil himself in this fight! And the spell towards the end was a thing of beauty! I'm going to assume that was Sora's rather than Axel's though. Fire with fire? Never made much sense though. Still, lovely spell.
Marluxia first battle.
What a tedious disapointment. I could have had a V8.
Second Marluxia fight.
Better, prettier, and probably harder.
Marluxia battle number THREE!!!
Oh! This one is a glorious epic of a battle. The blue background mixes beautifully with everything else! The angel is a known cliche, but it also looks like a combination of an angel and the grim reaper. An interesting take of a being that is used constantly in RPGs. Anyway, this battle is what graphics, sigs, and icons are made of!
Ending doot...doot...doot
Short and to the point. Looks like the people at Youtube aren't too pleased. I think it's best to say that the promise was made for both Sora and Roxas. There. All better now?
The credits are up, but I think it's best to hold off that and the Epilogue until "Reverse Rebirth" has been viewed.

Chapter 8/Riku Replica/Floor 9
Huur! Eight is Axel's number. Huuur!
1. Just going by that first scene, I can see where many people get Riku/Sora from. Riku(yes, I know it's actually the Replica) sounds like a jealous boyfriend.
2. It's nice to have Jiminy around. He's generally a pretty good voice of reason. I can't imagine what would have happened if the cricket weren't around. Sora isn't stupid, but he tends to rush in where wise men fear to tread.
This battle will be going on a Top list.
ONE OF THE MOST BOOOOORING BATTLES EVER!!! GAH! I fell sorry for Deathspank, unless he wasn't bored with the fight. The first Riku Replica battle is about as exciting as watching grass grow. Fighting a grandmother would be more entertaining. Three minutes and thirty-three seconds felt like three hours. Never thought I'd say that about a Kingdom Hearts fight.
Nine is Demyx's number. Huuur.
1. "You're always trying to worm your way into my Heart". That's a far cry from someone who claimed that Kairi was the only one Sora really cared about.
2. Good grief, I actually thought Axel was going to hit Namine. Don't know why. He's not that harsh. She doesn't respond that well to him at first. Not that I blame her. "Nobodies can't be Somebodies"? I didn't catch that before. I guess Axel figures that once you become a Nobody, you can never get your old life back. As in, you'll always be a "Nobody". At least that's how I see it so far. It could also be his way of saying that no matter what she does with Sora's memories, she will never be the "Kairi".
The second Repliku battle isn't as tedious. Shorter, but it seemed harder too.
That's it for today. I'm sure chapter ten will be around soon. I'm waiting for certain Vexen scenes because I have some graphics plans for those. HEEE!

For some people, KH2: Final Mix came out today!
Or at least what should now be the 29th in Japan. All I know is that some people got the game early and some of those people are from KH-VIDS.NET . Obviously, they're not the only ones, but Youtube.com did not fail them, so here are my impressions of the COM remake(I've only seen COM on Youtube and it was called "Skies of Memories"):
1. The first video is nothing more than a rehash of "what has gone before". Some of the scenes kind of threw me off(like the lightning scene). I'm going to assume that those are from the first Final Mix. Then again, I could have swown I saw Beast sitting somewhere in Hollow Bastion(unless, my eyes are failing me). Don't know what's going on there, but the rest of it is a reminder of how sweet the Sora/Kairi scenes often are(AND YES THEY ARE GRRRR!), how psychotic Riku tends to look, even when he's doing something good, and how Heartless Ansem looked hot as he vaporized from the wellspring of light. Yes. The music was pretty good too. "Passion", yes? It's a good remix. The original song itself is okay too. I'm not going to share that particular video here because I honestly don't see the point since it's an intro.
2. Here's the second video. And, of course, it's in Japanese. Bah. That shouldn't stop me though, even if I don't speak Japanese. Unless there've been dialogue/story changes I don't know about, then what's being said shouldn't be much different than the GBA version. Not that I'd be surprised if there were. Heh.
Honestly, they should have made this for the PS2 to begin with. There's nothing like watching Donald show horror at his powers failing him, and there's nothing like the nice sound of boots against a white, polished floor. Ah, Marluxia, those petals suit you nicely, but what was up with going through Sora? WTF? The voice is deeper than I thought it would be, but it's not bad. None of the Japanese voices so far are too bad.
HEEE! Sora always did have the prettiest blue eyes. I liked this picture though. So cute to see Jiminy Cricket on Sora's shoulder.
"Just passing through. HUUUR!"
Anyway, that was just Marluxia going though Sora's memories to make some cards for him, because that's how you fight in Castle Oblivion. Yay.
3. This is the third video. This one features Axel. "Yo"? "YO"? Oh. My. God. So, he really says something like this? The script says "BOO!" I liked that better. He's as loud as I suspected he is, and yikes, he's never been one to mess around. The battle in this video was skipped, but don't worry, it's around. I think Axel in this remake has a different "prescence" than in in the GBA version. In the latter version, he seemed much harsher and far more cruel. More serious too. In the remake, I can see where "lighthearted" comes from. Don't get me wrong, I've always seen Axel as someone who is "mischevious", but never "lighthearted". Even now, I don't see him being light and fluffy. Save that for Demyx. It's just in the remake, while he's still a bit, er, well dreaded, so to speak, he's not as scary as I think he is. At least not when calm. I can see where people get the "sinister" vibe from because Axel certainly is that.
"I AM AXEL AND I RULE ALL!!!!"
Oh, and did I mention that he's loud? Even when "quiet and sinister", he could blow up at any time.
He sure did in the battle, that's for sure. And no, I'm not fooled by the supposed ease of the battle. That being said, the fire spells are beautiful.
And, so is Axel. The screen captures could be better, I'm sure, but I'm using the kh-vids.net videos to nab them, and while the videos themselves are of excellent quality, using "print screen" with a Youtube video isn't. It's all good, though. I like the fact that kh-vids is willing to show all this so soon, so kudos to them!
As for the entire battle, it's interesting to see that Axel doesn't say anything. I guess he had nothing to say, for once. Refreshing for some, I'm sure.
That'll do for now. So far, so good, I'd say.

Oh, and did I mention that he's loud? Even when "quiet and sinister", he could blow up at any time.
He sure did in the battle, that's for sure. And no, I'm not fooled by the supposed ease of the battle. That being said, the fire spells are beautiful.
And, so is Axel. The screen captures could be better, I'm sure, but I'm using the kh-vids.net videos to nab them, and while the videos themselves are of excellent quality, using "print screen" with a Youtube video isn't. It's all good, though. I like the fact that kh-vids is willing to show all this so soon, so kudos to them!
As for the entire battle, it's interesting to see that Axel doesn't say anything. I guess he had nothing to say, for once. Refreshing for some, I'm sure.
That'll do for now. So far, so good, I'd say.
