One school of thought is that it happens randomly, though a video floating around on youtube claims this is not so.
The video theorizes that damage you take while in Drive Form from the Heartless will fill a hidden meter, which may trigger Anti-Form the next time you use the Drive. The video shows 100 (supposed) attempts to get Anti-Form without taking damage while using Valor. The video finishes up with a scene with Sora in Master Drive taking lots of hits from the Heartless. He then reverts, then tries Drive again, and lo and behold, Anti-Form.
Frankly, I don’t care either way.
All I care about is beating up on Pete. His boss fights are always fun.
The backwards part is “I need more affection than you know.”
I need to try that Passion+Sanctuary=Satan thing. :lovin:
I’d love an mp3 of that.
On the Anti-Form thing…
I think the chance to turn into it always exists. It’s just that the percentages of turning into it increase as you take damage while in Drive Form. That would explain people turning into it more often as they take damage.
While the game is great so far, one dissappointment I do have is the way they removed tech experience points. Don’t understand what they were thinking there. The tech points in the original mixed up the combat greatly and kept the mash-happy centric gameplay in check. The “mash X” connotations from various reviews is quite valid. Combat is still exhilarating at times though.
Maleficent has THE most convincing maniacal laugh EVER. It’s glorious. Anyone know who does her voice?
But that journal looks like a bitch to fill out. And proud mode isn’t really that hard. It just has some strong bullshit.
Like that water guy. Fuck that water guy.
Tip-- Once you get to Halloween town, use the curly moutain area to raise your drive levels. If you exit the area back to the graveyard while still in drive form, it cancels the form and your drive guage gets refilled. SUPER helpful for wisom, since levelling that sucks.
Fuck the water guy, fuck the game for having him. More of that bullshit time>skill reasoning that runs through the FF series. “It doesn’t matter if you have skill, you just have to have enough basic stats to whoop the enemy fast (read without effort).” I can beat him, I just can’t elimate all of those fast enough without a limit and keep my party alive through out all of his hard to avoid juggle combos before he summons the next batch where you only get 10 seconds.
It’s crap, I could spend hours in other areas pressing square over and over “leveling up” but it’s insulting. Good players shouldn’t have to stand for that crap. Maybe I should have started on “normal” though the difference sounds like night and day in which case I’d have the opposite problem.
Ahh well I got through the Tron part, that’s all I really rented it for. It was beautiful by the way.
Okay, I just bought this game…and I’m gunna start tonight. But… do you need to play the gba game or does this game fill you in on what happened in that version.
And I can’t wait to see this waterboss that people are talkin’ about… and the 1000 heartless battle.
I’ve battled him twice. Once in the Underworld and Hallow Bastion. The first time he’s easy. Just use the Reaction Command whenever you damage one of his water guys. The second time is a bitch though. You have to kill 10 of those things in 10 seconds. It’s even worse if you get delayed by Donald when you accidentally use his Comet Limit thing…Made me want to kill a duck so bad. There’s also the fact that the “water guy” (His name is so lame that it’s not even worth checking for) starts shooting up walls of water everywhere. I shit you not, this fucker took my 5 tries to kill him. I never had to recover in the air so much in the game in that battle alone.:arazz:
I gotta admit that he’s funny in the Underworld scene with the whole “You guys sure picked the wrong guy” thing. He even pulled out a piece of paper with his intructions too.
Too late now like 14 hours logged.
