Attention gamers

Ok, so I know all my blog followers are women, and I know for a fact that at least 2 of them are not gamers. I'm not holding out much hope that the others are because they all have lives and far less time on their hands than I do, but if any of you are, that's awesome. If you're not, I'm hoping this blog reaches someone who is, and someone who's played Kingdom Hearts II on PS2.

I just beat the game (25 hours in), and was going back through Jiminy's Journal to complete all the missions and minigames that I missed. Well, out of the whole game, I noticed I'm missing ONE treasure chest. So I went through to figure out how that happened.

To make a long story short, I beat Xemnas (and the game) WITHOUT ever having battled Sark and MCP in Space Paranoids. I never got the Solar Sailer. And come to find out, that treasure chest only appears after you battle Sark and MCP. My thing is, how could I have beaten the game without first defeating them? That's the boss fight for Space Paranoids.

When the World that Never Was first showed up after completing the last musical in Atlantica, the path to Twilight Town didn't show up at first, and that was because I hadn't defeated Xaldin at Beast's Castle and recovered the rose (and this showed up as an objective in Jiminy's Journal). Once I did that, I was able to get back to Twilight Town, go through the Old Mansion, and get into the World that Never Was.

And all this happened without me even going near Sark and MCP in Space Paranoids, and that never showed up as an objective. I'm not sure why. Could it be that Space Paranoids is within Hollow Bastion and not necessarily a world of it's own???

Needless to say, now that I've beaten the game, I don't have the option to go back and defeat them. This apparently happens on your second visit to Space Paranoids, when you save Tron from the Heartless. So now I can't 100% the game unless I start ALL OVER AGAINNNNNNN, which is extremely disheartening and frustrating, as it's very time consuming, and also becomes very repetitive and tedious once you already know the storyline and outcome and the game is not new to you anymore. Grrrr....

Does anyone out there have any idea how the heck I could have gotten through the whole game without defeating Sark and MCP????

I've never played that game so I can't help you. Sorry! Is it possible that there was either a glitch or it was just elective? My poison is WOW on the PC. Wish I could help ya!

Sherry - If I had a problem with that little farming game you play on Facebook, you'd definitely know the answer to that! lol

Sumer - My only guess right now is that it might have been a glitch? I definitely remember having to fight them the first time I played it last year. *shrugs* All I know is I'm not starting the game over from square one anytime soon. lol I've tried PC games, but my computer just can't handle the ones I've wanted to play. I bought Left 4 Dead for my PC before I got an Xbox, and it lagged sooooo bad, so I gave up on the whole PC gaming thing lol

Did you get more than 30 points when you beat them? It will only show up as a completed objective if you actually beat them with this margin of points...I think. It's been a while since we played through KH2...

Molly - I never even fought them! lol I have no idea how I managed that. I went into the simulation hangar and every other place in Space Paranoids, but never encountered them *shrugs*
