Naturally, I can only speak on a guy's perspective--and to be perfectly honest, this is more of a personal opinion rather than a representation of the male race, because quite frankly, on an overall level I'm rather disappointed in my gender. XD. Anyway, my natural instinct would be to hold a door open, or slide a chair for the lady during a dinner outing, but at the same time, it's a very touch-and-go scenario that may make me reluctant to do so. Like you mentioned before, there are some women who feel they don't need such pleasantries because they like this idea of gender equality or are somehow trying to live up to this 'revolutionized' society where such chivalrous norms are things of the past. I find some women like it, others don't. However, a lot of it also depends on the atmosphere, in my opinion. I have many female friends that like to hang out with the rest of my male friends, and for the most part, we all participate in the same kinds of stuff. In that sense, gender perception is virtually non-existent and we treat each other all the same, both in our words and our actions. Because of that, I'm not so readily enthused to stand up at the dinner table when said ladies walk into the dining room of my home, however, on the contrary I may feel very inclined to when my dinner date arrives at our table at a restaurant. The atmosphere matters a great deal. I'd consider myself chivalrous toward female strangers that I come across on the bus, on the street, etc. But toward close female friends, the formality seems to disappear. No, I don't think chivalry has completely died. A lot of it still lingers in basic social norms (like giving up your seat on the bus for the elderly or the less capable), but lots of people don't seem to care as much as they used to. And in terms of close friendships, chivalrous acts were mostly reserved for courting atmospheres and for prospects, thus why I tend to more readily take a 'social unity' approach toward my close female friends, treating them like I would one of my guy friends (with caution, of course).
Sora: Who are you? Xemnas: Ah... It seems you are special too. Goofy: Ansem? Xemnas: Now there's a familiar name... Xemnas: You look... just like him. Sora: What's that supposed to mean!? Xemnas: That means, you're not complete... Xemnas: Incomplete one... That power... allow me to test that power. -- After fight -- Xemnas: Very interesting... Xemnas: This is going to be enjoyable. Sora: What're you talking about!? Xemnas: As you are now, you probably cannot understand. Xemnas: In any case, you and I will definitely meet again. Sora: Wait! Who are you? Xemnas: I am... Xemnas: A mere shell.
I wrote the moves in the order which they appeared. Therefore, you're referring to Aerial Spiral.
Dressing up as anime characters isn't weird. It's the people who make it weird. Dressing up for a convention in itself, is just getting into the festive mood for the event. There's nothing wrong with dressing up if you're going to act like a 'normal' person, instead of like... being incredibly delusional and roleplay for the entire day thinking you're Gaara, or Kenshin, or Yagami Light. I had three costumes for the last con I went to. I was AC Cloud for day one, went more simpler on Day two with just a black Uchiha shirt (high collar and Uchiha fan symbol on the back) and Sharingan contacts (just wore regular khaki jeans and black sneakers), then Syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicle on the last day (green cape, black sleeveless shirt, etc). It's just fun to get into the mood and dress up, it's not a bad thing. It's people who ruin the point of it.
Three moves at 2:00 -- Aerial Spiral >> Aerial Dive (It was called Hurricane in the first Final Mix) >> Aerial Finish Not much on how it works, when you equip these, they'll activate when you aim for enemies in the sky. However, Spiral works the same way as Aerial Sweep does (you must attack while on the ground while locked onto an enemy in the air. Sora will automatically leap into the Spiral).
XD There is a Slide Dash already.
Darky, you sure you aren't referring to Slide Dash for your 'Flash Step'? =o
It's not an ability. Critical Mode purposely reduces Sora's Max HP to 60.
I only Thundaga him when he has me in a Melee lock. Otherwise, I stick to physical attacks as well.
-flash step - Japanese equivalent of 'Finishing Leap'. Ground Finisher, Sora hops off the ground and stabs his Keyblade into the floor causing an AoE explosion, knocking all enemies within range into the air for Aerial comboing. -round break -- Ground move - When Sora is surrounded, he slides his Keyblade out in front of him and does a 360 slash. -magnet splash - Aerial Finisher, it casts a magnet spell (doesn't require MP) and gathers all enemies within range into Sora and then blows them anyway (probably my favourite move from Final Mix+) -combo master - Allows you to use Finishers without having a lock on an enemy (this includes both the blue lock (R1) and the auto yellow lock. In the old KH2, you weren't able to use Finishers unless you had one of these two active. -exp chance - Allows Sora to gain more exp when his health is at a certain level (20% or something) -crisis half - When your health is critical, damage you receive is halved.
Yeah, Limit Form is actually one of the easier ones, in my opinion, especially using the strategy I posted before. You don't gain more XP, unfortunately. It's a requirement that you do every single triangle follow-up to get that 1 exp. Anything less won't give you any.
O_o what exactly are you trying to suggest?
'FlipNautix' - Team17 forums (October 2000-2003) 'Sora' - SSF forums (March 2002) 'FlipNautix/.Velius/Soushirei' - SSL forums (June 2003-2005) 'Soushirei.' - old KH-vids forums (January 2006) 'ロクサス' - new KH-vids forums (February 2007) Hmm, there was another forum I was on for a few months as 'Joseph Christopher', that I can't recall. It was sometime in 2004 though.
Ouch @ Attempt 3. Kinda just got you by surprise on that one. Good progress, though, Xaldin!
Yes. Porcelain dolls, too.
Limit doesn't end if you run out of MP, however you can't use another Limit until you get your MP back. You can level Limit Form anywhere. I suggest camping by a save point close to enemy spawn areas. That way, you go into enemy spawn area, spam a Limit (I usually spam Sonic Raid), then once you run out of MP, go out to the save point and refresh it, then go back in and use Limits again. Rinse and repeat. If you run out of enemies to kill, then just go back to the save point and warp out, and warp back in. I personally maxed my Limit Form in the Bazaar area of Agrabah, using the save point just outside the town.
You level up Limit Form by using Limits to their completion (i.e. you have to successfully complete every triangle follow up to the end). Each successful Limit will give you 1 xp.
Ouch, libregkd! I remember doing something similar--bringing him down so far, then messing up. Collectively it took me like.. 7 hours of fights before I finally beat him. =\ It'll get easier after that first win--for some reason. I win 2/3 of the time when I face him now.
The puzzles are random, you probably can't finish the rest of the puzzles until you're deep into the game (and I really suggest waiting until you've done all the other stuff first before tackling the puzzles), since all you need that for is for the Secret Ending. And the Data Zexion fight is pretty much the same, so don't worry about it disappearing. XDD. I'd say move on ahead.
I'd say give it a try. But 16 does sound a bit early--wouldn't say it's impossible.
