Hey, I'm trying to decide which version of kh2 to run. Was just wondering if it's viable to run on PAL since that's the version that I have and grew up with.

Thanks, osskari

You can! It's a nice introduction to running the game. I started on it, as did LiquidWiFi, and you can see that we both have pretty good times on the leaderboards. However I must warn you - the game doesn't run very well in comparison to NTSC.

Trinity finishers tend to miss a lot, as do parts of Knocksmash and Valor Genie. So you may have to adapt in fights, and some strats aren't possible on PAL due to this. Also Genie Jafar is worse and harder to DM Skip because slapshot damage is pretty low. Also - the loading times count for about a 10-11 minute timeloss on PAL, so there;s that too.

Overall, i'd recommend that you start playing on PAL regardless of the differences. If you keep running the game and you're really enjoying it, or want to make your time super competitive, i'd buy yourself the NTSC copy :)

Hope this helped you out.

Thanks for the response salad. I've played this game casually once a year since it came out so I think lack of enjoyment is not a problem :). Good to know that I can at least start on PAL. Should also be able to practise non-PAL strats on emulator (only load times are affected, right?) until I get myself a NTSC copy.

As a PAL runner myself i found this information to be really useful,thanks salad! As for you osskari i recommend you focus alot on "improvising" some strats and DM skips it has helped me soo far, aldo it is still really hard to get them right! Good Luck and hafe fun with your future runs! :D

Now that I think of it might be better to improvise and get a more fundamental understanding of how the bosses and dm skips work. Thanks, Lifion :)
