Kingdom Hearts II Critical Mode? Really?

I've played through the whole game on Critical mode, and fail to see the challenge of it.

Anyone else think this mode was over dramatized?

 

The only challenge in Critical Mode for me was the new content put in to the game, like the Organization members (Data) and the Cavern of Remembrance. That's it, really-pretty much haha. But then again, it could be because I was comparing how hard it was to Kingdom Hearts II the whole game.​

 

You didn't equip EXP 0 did you?

 

That would be my next play through.
I'll bet lvl 1 through the whole game would be a challenge.
Have you done it?

 

Twice,one with,and one without boosts.
It's a lot harder than normal runs,and if you don't use boost,it becomes even better.

 

Truth be told, I wouldn't last a second in a fight with Terra when I'm lvl 1.
I will try a lvl 1...eventually...

 

i would just have a lot of drive recoveries because as we all know when you transform then its just as good as mega elixir.
it is very challenging i died like 27 times against terra. i beat him but i had to only attack him when he was the slowest when attacking.
i think there is a youtube video of somebody beating him in lv1 critical.
sorry i talk too much

 

Yeah, I've seen it. It was a no damage vid, which I think is what you have to do anyway, since being at level 1 on critical every attack he does is like a OHKO, I think. I don't own the game myself, but I have heard stories.

 

Critical Mode is meant to be done at Lv1, that's why it's called "Critical" xD

 

Yeah, LV1 CM is intense, especially Terra. But it wasn't that hard, just gotta loop him ;D

 

Exactly.

Yeah,it isn't so hard,at least until he begins to send counters at you outta nowhere.

 

I'm in the middle of critical mode right now and the only problem for me is the HP bar, it's half of what it usually is!

 

What I really hated about that mode was that it cut your max Hp in half.

 

so you can choose to level up in critical?
