Proud Mode...

[Saix]

... were you disappointed with it? During the last month or so, I've been playing KH2 on Proud mode again without much training. That said, I found common Nobodies more challenging than bosses, and found myself in more trouble within random encounters than I did with the likes of Saix or Xaldin.

Anyone else felt let down by the lack of challenge on Proud? The gameplay seemed no different, and opponents dealt only a little bit more damage than usual. Did you find bosses more difficult? Exactly the same?

I noticed that too! o.o The mini enemies were so hard but the bosses were very easy. I was abit upset with that.

I Struggled through the first few bosses on proud but after i got a decent keyblade i found myself Breezing through the worlds.
i was dissapointed in proud Mode.
it only seemed like the enemies hit slightly harder and they had abit more HP.
i wouldnt exactly call it "Proud" lol

Hence why Square Enix created Critical Mode on Final Mix+. It's hard from beginning to end, and don't get me started the optional bosses on Critical Mode.

Well proud mode wasn't exactly hard but you dealt alot less damage than on critical mode

You couldn't have said it any clearer for me, to be honest. I felt the exact same way.

However, on the advanced mode in Kingdom Hearts, I found that I struggled quite a bit. It might be a case of improper balance testing.

I found few bosses in Proud Mode a lot easier than in normal mode. For example, when I fought Prison Keeper on normal mode I died a lot, but when I fought Prison Cage in Proud Mode I beated it without taking damage.
