![]() It’s hard to explain at the outset, but Ability Points are one of the most important stats you’ll get in KH2 (or at least, they’re the most irritating stat to lack). Your prize(s) for this segment are some free Ability Points. Square Enix does allow you to skip past this (you don’t have to make any munny at all) but the game doesn’t convey that very well unless you take a shot in the dark and try to leave on your own! Of course, if you’re in the know, this might take even longer, because there are prizes for getting more than 800! The game dawdles and stalls all the way through the first day, and now that we’re on the second day, you have to blow time playing mini-games – things that exist to give you a break from the main game – before you’re even allowed to take part in main game. I personally watched my brother walk out on the game thanks to this chore speedbump here on day 2, so this affects me personally. I might as well say it: the tedious pacing of KH2’s prologue/tutorial is infamous. Yes, isn’t this exciting? We’re 10 000 words into this retrospective and we’re finally getting around to what we bought this game for: chores and temp labour! Hayner says that they need to make 800 munny each (this may be the only time in the series munny is treated as a tangible object!), and sends everyone off to play mini-games to make up the cash. He actually just wants everyone to go find temp jobs and make the money before the last train leaves. Hayner plays up like he’s got a scheme, but it’s not much of a scheme. He also fronts no money himself and diverts attention before anyone notices, which makes me laugh. To get to the beach, they’re going to need a pile of cash, so Hayner takes inventory and it seems they don’t have enough. Roxas and Hayner are both entering the tournament, and they promise to win the prize so all four of them can share it. This finally explains Fuu’s sentence fragment from yesterday, however belated. Sure Roxas! You’re “saving the game,” we understand!īefore Hayner explains his plan, everyone takes a moment to admire a poster for the Struggle tournament being held in two days’ time. It’s hilarious for all the wrong reasons: Pence running back into the room just to find Roxas standing around staring at the corner. He rushes out and the game takes the opportunity to introduce save points, which actually delay Roxas following his friends as though the save points were a real thing. With existentialism aside, the kids are now bored, and Hayner declares that they should all go to the beach. ![]() Hayner says probably not, which is awful mature of him, and he adds that it’s more important “how often we think about each other.” CoM players can already see how this is relevant to the series, though it’s still weird that it came into conversation for no reason. For some reason – and even the game acts like this is sudden and uncalled for, it’s not like we’re stepping into the middle of a conversation – Pence decides to ask out-loud if the four of them will be together forever.
