Keeping PS4 and XBox One all on one board

Hello everyone!

Now that KHFM has been on XBox for a while and no patch has happend for the PS4 version we wanted to let you guys voice your opinion on what exactly should happen. There are several possible things we can do and as always, if you vote for something you just have to like the post following this message.

The Options we have are:

1: Keeping PS4 and XBox One all on one board 2: Splitting XBox One and PS4 on two seperate boards 3: Keeping PS4 and XBox One all on one board, but runs will be retimed to accomodate for the advantage that XBox has

We'll have this vote up for 48 hours and will follow up with the results shortly after this vote has closed.

Hi I'd like to ask for both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix to have "Category extensions" added to them https://www.speedrun.com/khfm https://www.speedrun.com/kh1

These are the category extension boards if needed https://www.speedrun.com/kh1ce

Thank you very much in advance :)

I don't really see how this could be a fun category honestly. You can just use Aero at the start of every battle and it's over. The only "timesave" will come from walking from door to door.

Anyone can put in criticism, but it should be more of a constructive kind. From what I take @PlayPod wanted to do runs of this or planned on doing so at least but was turned away by the loadremover itself. Even if someone is not a runner they can put out criticism, but it should be done in a different manner.

So you want to spend 450€ to be able to compete? Or are you only saying that because you already own a Pro+SSD? It doesn't ruin it, we can make a video tutorial on it so that everyone can use it easily.

Once it's set up you use it just like you use livesplit normally, it is not my problem if you're to lazy to spend 10-15 minutes on something that makes competition fair and has been decided by the community. Your argument is basically "I don't like it so we change it" while talking about something that affects way more people.

I never said it is convenient, but it is way better than having to spend 450€ to compete in a category/game. And as I said, you might not agree with it, however the poll has decided that this is what the community wants and I can't see your vote anywhere on there. To be fair, you might've not been interested in the runs at that point, so that point doesn't necessarily count much.

The DLC is just the first step, there has been talk about expanding that rule into more games as well to make those more fair between different hardware as well. Also this loadremover is still in it's early stages, I am pretty sure we will be able to have a way easier version for this in the future.

Why would you say is this pointless? Do you know how the timing works in this game? It is a bit of a hassle to set it up, that's right, but I can tell you several things about it.

1: Limitcut is a very hard category and there have been runs done already, just not with the loadremover yet. 2: ReMind as a category takes a bit to set up and probably seems pretty boring to most people which is why there aren't any runs, but we already have 4 different runners of that category, two of which used the loadremover. 3: The Loadremover makes the competition fair. If we go by RTA then everyone would have to buy a PS4Pro with SSD just to compete, which counts in at about 450€ which is ridiculous. Having a loadremover evens it out for everyone in almost every aspect. IGT can not be properly used as you don't have a timer that shows you how long it took you to do that like during a normal Any% run. 4: This requirement was community voted, people were voting for this exact requirement. Here is the link to that https://www.speedrun.com/kh3/thread/0vx70

Hope this clears it up.

You need to have Combo Master equipped for that to work.

As for any category suggestions, the first step would be to have a run of it In the KH Community we have the rule of having 3 or more runs being done of a potential category before it gets added to the boards, just so we can ensure some kind of activity on it besides the staple categories.

Besides that, in my opinion a Lv99 speedrun sounds pretty boring. It will probably be just repetitive grinding of certain Special Portals and nothing else besides the normal Any% run. Then again, maybe you're going to be able to show off a run for this and convince me (And maybe others) of running this category.

If you have a webcam you could point that one towards your splits and have that shown.

The closest thing we have to that would be OoA% or Plat% It's unlikely that 100% will be added as: A: There are no runs of it yet that could be submitted B: It's pretty losely defined and 100% categories are generally pretty weird for Final Fantasy games as they lack such a counter

1. You want to skip cutscenes whenever they happen, not run out of stamina and get used to when your weapons are in range to hit the enemy Also you'll have to be able to manage 3-4 weapons at the same time for NG+
2. This would be the Yurika only category
3. I don't know, depends on what you want to know.

Nobody submitted runs of this on switch, all the runners are on PC, but I guess it shouldn't make a difference

You can use the autosplitter, yes, the splits during a run don't matter anyway, it's only the final time that matters. Just make sure to split for yourself at the very end if the autosplitter would do that to late, because changing the end of the run because of an autosplitter sounds weird to me personally.

We'll be using this thread to announce mod decisions. As the first post in here, both Greenday and I decided that we don't require the difficulty being shown anymore. But with that we also decided to remove auto-verification so getting your runs on the board might take a bit longer than it used to. If it is shown, verification will be quick. However if you don't show your difficulty we might decide on either rejecting the run if it is not 100% clear which difficulty has been used or taking a while on the verification process. Therefore the runs from Greenday and Fliggmode are back on the board.

What Kingdom Hearts does is actually a bit different (Maybe I'm just missunderstanding you) We have one main Category called "Any%" which branches out to the different difficulties (Beginner, Standard, Proud, Crit) and I think that woulf be a nice way to go about it as well, have it being called Any% in the header, then have a Variable for each platform as we already have, and on top of that, for PC only, add Easy mode and Normal mode as another variable.

It runs indeed faster on Pro/SSD, but the time difference is way lower than in 2FM But the difference does exist

Still pretty cool to find it yourself :D

That is something you can do to end the fight quickly, correct. The speedrun does slmething similar with using Phoenix Down while we have Bone Mail equipped. Basically, causing the death status effect instead of losing health in that battle still ends it.

So we have NG+ which allows us to choose any of the panties. How about we make some kind of New Game category, something that either only allows certain panties at certain points or just Yurika only.
