This section is new and was made off of a suggestion that was approved. It serves to give a place where members can ask questions and get tips about various games other than Kingdom Hearts games. Any Kingdom Hearts game assistance should still go to Kingdom Hearts Help . Anyone is able to answer an inquiry made here but do try to be actually helpful. The rules for this section are the same as the rules for the rest of the forum, so please be mindful of them by not spamming here, insulting, instigating fights, etc. If you have any questions or complaints, please feel free to PM a staff member and we'll be glad to assist you. This section also is host to any FAQs or Guides that users are willing to publish and share to help out anyone who may find them useful. Take care and enjoy~ KH-Vids Staff
To help organize the forums, a few changes were made. These were planned for some time, but I was not here to implement them. Go school and work! Some changes as follows, and I may adjust them a bit more after seeing how they work out... 1. We've added a 'Game Help' sub-forum under General Game Chat as this was an approved suggestion from someone way back. Basically, you can ask any questions on games you have (other than on illegal things of course!) other than KH games, so that someone can hopefully answer. 2. The KH Section was getting rather large so we've made a section for handheld games to move 358/2 Days, BBS and CoM there. I may mess around and make another section for KH1 and KH II but for now, I'll see how this goes for us all. See my prior post here if you'd like to help out with a name for a new section the staff is working on so that we can organize the forum a bit more and reduce clutter, while giving all of us somewhere to go to for talk on various topics that aren't KH related, but also aren't for 'serious' discussion/debate. Thanks all and hope you enjoy our changes in the months to come. ~ Staff peoples.
Hey all! In order to clean up the Discussion area some and move some stickies from the Spam Zone and a couple other areas together, we're going to have a new section that is well... About Us. It will have our interests and conversations, things that we're listening to, etc there so that it frees up areas from stickies as well as lets topics be expanded to sub-forums in some cases. Here is a list of the things that will currently be highly considered in the move. In this section will go such things as: - post pictures - Former Anything Else that turned into 'General Discussion' - hobbies forum - favorite avatars and such - favorite music/currently listening to. - Forum Events/Holidays - the Birthday thread and perhaps more as time goes on. If you'd like to offer up a helpful name for the Section, please send me a PM and I'll tabulate names and those submitted (that aren't ridiculous xD. I'll laugh at those though :) ) will be posted in a poll in another thread here so you can all vote and be part of the change. ~ Thanks! Now...I'm off to watch Iron Man 2.
Puhleeze? I have to do that now and work and school. rah rah.
Hello everyone! Welcome to the Top 5 Countdown for the week of 6 August through 14 August. I realize I am running behind so I will be catching up and doing the next Top 5 in approximately 3 days and then the remaining Top 5 after as normal. Thank you all for more submissions! There were so many and choosing my favorites from them was definitely a task. If your video did not make it to the Top 5, don't feel bad because I am certainly not saying the video wasn't great too. I only have 5 spots per week to fill and there are dozens of videos to scour through. Hope you all enjoy this week's picks. Anyway, here we go! 1st Place: Take My Hand <iframe src="http://kh-vidsportal.magnify.net/video/Take-my-hand/player" width="320" height="380" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> Submitted by: punkrollerblader Song: "Take My Hand" by KMV4 Description: A video with humor, seriousness and high energy. It has a nice feel to it over all and is smooth. It caught the spirit of KH to me and the song was themed up well with the scenes. Congratulations, punkrollerblader! This was my top pick for the week.

Tonight is such a quiet night. I'm so bored. How is everyone?
It's just you and me again.
I'm going through and doing some changes to the information etc for new members and Suggestions/denials. Need some help and here's the first question. Can someone give me the link to downloading the KH-Vids theme, so that people know where the chat box is etc? I'd like to put it up so that members can download it and all, since it's worked well for me and others. Also, does this work for only Firefox or will it work for I.E. etc?
I'll be working on updating this and making a boss guide probably for each game, just because I'm bored and it will give people a reference point for something to try out. DESTINY ISLANDS Darkside HP 240 Exp 18 Tips: The Darkside is the first boss you fight, and he's not very difficult to beat. Just do lock on and target its hands and when he slams a fist into the arena ground, go beat the tar out of it with combos. Stay at the sides of the monster to avoid taking damage when the Darkness pool forms and just hop up and bash. Shadows will show up and attack Sora now and then from the Darkness pool that the Darkside made so move off when you realize you are low on HP and bash them around for some green health orbs. Darkside occasionally, when it is kind of crouching with both hands down on the ground, will send out Darkness that tries to move where you are. Avoid these by moving around and avoid being stuck in an area. If you lose this fight, the game will continue. Darkside II HP 300 Exp 60 Tips: Use the same strategy listed above. There will be an orb of gravity that sends out spheres at you but you can avoid these by moving out of the way. There are less Shadows that show up in this battle so if you need a potion, use it. Hopefully you took potions from Riku in the fights. xD If you lose this fight, you will have to do it over again so make sure you saved before going to the fight! TRAVERSE TOWN Guard Armor HP 700 Exp 110 Tips: The guard armor has 5 parts to fight: The torso, two arms and two legs. Make sure you have potions for Donald and Goofy. The strategy best used is to try to leap around a lot and go to attack the Torso some. Other body parts seem to get in the way and this is just fine. You must destroy these other body parts anyway before the torso will 'die'. However, hopping around and going after that often, helps. Green health orbs drop as you defeat each piece of the guard armor so you can replenish some lost HP. Keep in mind that you should watch Donald and Goofy so that neither runs out of HP, but if you keep yourself healthy, they can use their potions on themselves too. Drop Item: Brave Warrior WONDERLAND Cards, Crank Tower Heart Card - HP 60, Exp 0, Spade Card - HP 45, Exp 0. Crank Tower - HP unknown, Exp 100 Tips: The cards are quite susceptible to Fire so if they become a nuisance, use that on them. You cannot defeat the cards utterly, but they can be knocked down. Donald and Goofy will attempt to keep them busy so put your focus mainly on the crank tower. Now and then, Donald and Goofy will get captured and put in a cage, so just go over and bust them out, knock the cards around some and then go back to the crank tower. Bash the tower when you aren't needing to help your friends and you'll win this easily enough. Remember to lock on to the tower so you destroy the gears and aren't just bashing at some pointless part of it. After destroying the gears, lock onto the top of the tower and bash that and a bunch of Munny should fall out. Drop Item: Some Munny. Trickmaster HP 600, Exp 150 Tips: Sora and his pals have to be in mini size to fight this opponent. Try using physical attacks on this being and avoid using Fire magic on Trickmaster, as this lights the candles he wields on fire and it uses this against you to deal out more damage. Just lock onto Trickmaster and go for combos, moving out of the way when need be. Occasionally, after taking a whooping, it will bend over and this is the ideal time to just be relentless in your attacks, until it recuperates. After it recovers from this, the Trickmaster likes to be annoying and hop up on the table and attacks from midair, so you must go after it by getting on the table. Use the chair and then hop up to the table. Otherwise it can't be reached. If the table and chair disappear, try climbing up the bookshelf in the corner. The table will reappear sooner or later. The Trickmaster will occasionally go over to the oven and light its candles on fire, so when it does, use Blizzard magic to put the candles out or else it does a tremendous amount of damage to you (nearly double what it does in normal hits). If the table is not there and you have to use the bookshelf, climb up there and do the Blizzard spell so it reaches the Trickmaster. Throughout the fight, when it takes enough damage, it drops HP balls so get those and also make sure to leave some for Donald and Goofy. A good indication to see how much longer you have to go in the fight is to count how many 'heads' it has on top of one another. At the start of the fight, it has 5. When each head is destroyed, HP balls drop, so keep count that way. Dropped Item: Ifrit's Horn OLYMPUS COLISEUM The Preliminary Tournament - Best thing to do here is to make sure that you take out the magic casting Blue Rhapsodies and Red Nocturnes, as they enjoy floating around the outer areas of the arena, while Donald and Goofy take care of the Soldiers and Shadows. Avoid the Large Bodies if you can or take them out as necessary, attacking from behind. Cloud is your final opponent. It is not necessary to win this battle, but defeating Cloud and winning the tournament does give out a nice chunk of Exp. Cloud HP 300, Exp 80 Tips: Cloud always cries out before his attacks. His attacks are tough and he moves around a lot, but you can always tell he's going to by that resounding cry. You want to avoid his attacks at all costs. Either leap out of the way or dodge roll and attempt to counterattack him. When he leaps up in the air for a deathblow sort of attack, definitely dodge roll or leap out of the way. You can use Fire magic to inflict some damage to him, but if he falls back, he's going to attack after, so be prepared to move. When you find yourself low on HP, make sure to run around and get away, using the edges of the arena and then use a potion. In simple, the strategy is to let him attack, move, and attack him from behind, get away, rinse and repeat. Cerberus HP 600 Exp 200 Tips: After fighting Cloud, Cerberus shows up. Make sure before you enter this fight that you have restocked your characters' item slots with the necessary potions and ethers. I always go strong on potions since I don't tend to use magic much. Save your game and then go back into the coliseum. Make sure when engaging Cerberus, that you lock onto one of the outside heads and try to attack always from the side of the monster. This will help you to avoid being bitten, etc. When Cerberus crouches, leaning low, he spews out Darkness pools. These move and track Sora, trying to get under him so when you see him doing this attack, move away to avoid the pools of Darkness. The other attack to watch out for is hen he stands on his hind legs. He's going to slam his front paws to the ground and cause a tremor. When you see this, wait and time it, leaping just before his paws hit the ground so you can avoid taking serious damage. When he's stomping around with his heads held high, you can't really attack him physically so just keep a lock on to the outer head and move away. You can use Thunder magic on him or just wait it out. Any other spells you try are likely to miss him. Cerberus will then lower his heads once again and you can resume attacking. The best combos to do on him are when leaping up to get the head. Keep in mind, you want to still attack from the side of him. This fight can take a while so relax with it. Dropped Item: Inferno Band Side Item: Phil awards the party with a Hero License. Side Item: Cloud gives Sora the Sonic Blade ability whether you defeated him or not. DEEP JUNGLE Sabor I HP 90 Exp 15 Tips: Make sure to equip Dodge Roll before this fight. This isn't a particularly difficult fight but Sabor is fast. Lock onto Sabor, since the foe moves with great swiftness and can be lost otherwise at times. Sabor crouches in a pouncing position before going for an attack run, so you have to use Dodge Roll at the right time to avoid it. After avoiding, simply get up, keeping lock on and go ahead and unleash a combo or two at Sabor. Then retreat and do the same thing again. Have good enough distance between the two of you so that you can execute the Dodge Roll efficiently. This battle does not have to be won, but it's nice to get the Exp. Sabor II HP 90, Exp 15 Tips: This is pretty much the exact same fight as before, though Sabor is a bit more aggressive. Tarzan is a good help in this fight so you may want to switch team members to use him. Again, time the crouching Sabor and Dodge Roll. Then attack the leopard from behind and move off. You need to defeat Sabor this time. Sabor III HP 90 Exp 15 Tips: Yet again, Sabor shows up each time you drop from the Tree House to the Cliff area. You may, if you want to spend time on it, keep going to the Tree House and dropping down to the Cliff area to fight Sabor repeatedly for more Exp. Do the same things as said above in Sabor I and II fights. Sabor again flees, and you only have to fight him once more after this. Sabor Final HP 180 Exp 150 Tips: Finally! You can now defeat Sabor and get the full Exp award too. However, Sabor also has double the HP. Stay locked on so you can keep an eye on where Sabor ends up and also move around. Keep doing the good ol strategy of Dodge Roll when you see him crouching. Also try to coordinate with your team somewhat, as if you guys get him surrounded and they attack from one side and you attack from another, you get a few extra hits in. Item Dropped: White Fang The White Mushroom Tips: Since this is the first time these show up, I'll go ahead and write a bit on them. Do not attack the White Mushrooms, wherever you see them in the game. Instead, they are going to play a game of charades with you. They do an act and Sora will need to cast the appropriate spell on the White Mushroom. To be accurate, make sure you lock onto the correct Mushroom for the spell. - When the White Mushroom is shivering: Cast Fire on it so it warms up. - When the White Mushroom is fanning itself: Cast Blizzard to cool it off. - When the White Mushroom appears to be nodding off, bowing its head: Cast Thunder to rejuvenate it. If you did the spell right, the White Mushroom will clap and hop around cutely. You will be awarded MP balls and some other items for doing 3 correct spells to the charades game. There are a couple other White Mushrooms also in this world, so if you mess up, don't worry about it. If you failed to do the right spell, the White Mushroom will shake its fist at you and stammer and then disappear in a huff. Clayon, Powerwilds HP 250 Exp 240 PowerWilds each have 30 HP, 4 Exp. Tips: If you want the battle to go for a while, go ahead and take on some Powerwilds at the same time as messing around with Clayton. If you want the battle over with quickly, lock onto Clayton, move around and get up behind him with Dodge Roll or leaping there. Attack him with combos and move when needed. He's fairly easy here and the fight ends relatively quick. To be continued..
Damn, my cat's breath wreaks. *shiver* ungh.
Hello everyone! The Top 5 has begun anew and we have our User Portal active once again! You can feel free to peruse the videos and also add your own so that we can all enjoy them. Thank you all for your submissions! These are my picks this week for the Top 5. Enjoy! I hope to see more videos in weeks to come. If you didn't make it on the list, it definitely doesn't mean that your video wasn't good. I recommend people to go to the User Portal and put in their own reviews in order to help support one another and critique. My opinion is certainly not the only one that counts. xD 1st Place: Crush, Crush, Crush <iframe src="http://kh-vidsportal.magnify.net/video/CrushCrushCrush-wmv/player" width="320" height="380" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> Submitted by: Redhead17 Song: "Crush, Crush, Crush" by Paramore Description: Kairi sings about her crush on Sora. The lip movements of Kairi really went well with the song. Because of how well the video clips went with the song and everything just flowed great together, I gave this first place. Well done!

It's definitely worth checking out, even if you feel the same as I do about AkuRoku. Can't say that enough. Nice job! 5th Place: Remnants of a Soldier Click here to see Video Submitted by: Toshi Song - "Black Stone" by Gackt Description: Now and then it's just great to appreciate the graphics put into solid fighting scenes in games. Especially when put to some kick arse music! Advent Children and Crisis Core dominate the scene with Gackt in the background. Link: http://kh-vidsportal.magnify.net/video/Remnants-of-a-SOLDIER-mp4
I'm sure some of you have noticed that the User Portal has been down for a good 2 to 3 weeks now. I did mention it, as have others, in some other areas of the forum but will go ahead and post here about it, since it is more the proper area. We are currently working on setting us up with a new video portal and the reason the other expired was due to basically Deathspank not letting us know the user portal company was switching over to a new one. Of course, this could be due to the fact he does not come around anymore and has a new email address etc. Since spdude was never given the information for the user portal, those of us who had access could go in there and do the things we were, but he never received any information on the user portal. I'm editing and updating this so I don't make a double post. I've been in talks with Magnify.Net and unfortunately, we cannot get any of the older videos back due to where they were hosted prior. However, we will soon have a new user portal and hopefully, we can get that going sometime this week or next, and also I will continue on the tradition of the top 5. I deeply regret that I could not get these past videos back for us all. However, once the new portal is up, you are more than welcome to post old and new videos alike to it and hopefully, once again we can get a great collection for all of us to enjoy.
So far I've only seen one real couple say so. So where are our fake and real couples around here? Just to keep a tally for everyone... Real Couples Xaale x Rayku Tidus x Yuna Fearless x Dalk Amby x Destiny's Force Fake Couples Xaale x Hannah Montana Fayt x Table Dalk X Rayku What? x History Text Book ?? >.> Fayt x Table Cintrus Mimiru x Ruon (wincest? oh my.)
Those of you who posted 'vote for me or someone else' threads, I closed them so that you hopefully won't get disqualified for breaking rules. Feel free to add your desires to get voted in your signatures, however. Some of those threads were funny. It sucked to close them. :( But ah well. here are the rules so you guys know: http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?t=85910
Starting a new trend or something. Darn there are a lot of pissed off people today.
Yeah.. and I have to respond to death threats with uh, tempting fate.
Hello all! I'm going to be doing the Top 5 now, to keep it going on. I can only hope to do as well as DA did for all those years. I'm going to take over where he left off, to give those past videos a chance to be recognized. There are some really great ones and I'd hate for them to have never even been mentioned. So let's sit back and see the Top 5 of February 12th through the 18th. 1st Place: An extremely well put together video that goes with the strong music. I wasn't familiar with the song so Invader Jack kindly pointed out what it was. I really enjoyed watching this video and hope you guys will too. Great job! This was my favorite for the week. By: Kadaj Song: Hide - Red [top5number1]15845579-840c-49e8-806c-9baf0154af14[/top5number1] Click here to see Video 2nd Place: The below video was smoothly choreographed with various Final Fantasy games. The song is has some epic flow that goes great with the scenes. Very well done. By: DarcAyon Song: Unknown Click here to see Video 3rd Place: I haven't tended to see many thought out videos with Kairi and Namine in them, but this one had a song that really fit the mood of the video. By: 84b4fab2 Song: Fences - by Paramore Click here to see Video 4th Place: The song sets the mood of the Kingdom Hearts characters losing one another and then fighting so hard to be reunited. Turn up the volume a bit since the song is so soft to get the true effects. By: MiracleMan Song: Bridge Over Troubled Water Click here to see Video 5th Place: Oh, those poor unfortunate souls! Axel takes the part of Ursula in this rock version of the song and the results are entertaining. By: Eiyoko Song: Poor Unfortunate Souls Click here to see Video Hope you enjoyed the top 5 for this week. Stay tuned for more.
I miss you guys. Seems the only time I get on is late at night when most people are not even around anymore. I try to do stuff but yeah, finals and school this semester are kicking my behind. I only have one more semester after this one to getting my bachelors so it's been very busy.. plus I have a lot of work I'm doing since our work laid off people and tossed more hours at the rest of us to run us ragged. I am not dead though and haven't forgotten this place. You guys rux and once finals are up, I will be here through the summer, except for a trip I have to do but even then, I should be able to get on with my lappy I will sometime buy here. So, no, i haven't fallen off the face of the earth! I feel bad that people think so. You haven't gotten rid of me yet. xD
