100% Journal KH2FM FAQ

What is 100% Jiminy's Journal?
Fully completing the Journal, then beat the game.
http://imgur.com/xXkb76X - This image is an example of the Journal 100% compelete. If there's a Mickey symbol on every part of this page, it's 100% complete. There's also a % counter for the Journal in the Battle Report at the end of the game.

So what is counted towards completing the Journal?
All Ansem Reports, All Chests, All Puzzle Pieces, All Puzzles completed, All minigames and minigame challenges (this includes all the Olympus Coliseum cups, Sephiroth, Terra, Datas, and Mushroom XIII),  Every Limit used (including Summon Limits), LV9 Synthesis, Every Item Synthesized, All Synthesis Lists completed, and all Character Links completed.

What is a "Synthesis List"?
Basically, when you complete a Synthesis List for a material, that Material is added to the items you can buy from the Moogle. For Blazing, Frost, Lightning, Lucid, Dark, Power, Dense, and Twilight you need 30 of every Shard, 25 of every Stone, and 20 of every Gem to complete the Lists. There aren't lists for Energy, Bright, Serenity, Tranquil, or Remembrance Material.

So why Critical Mode?
Critical Mode gives you 2x Lucky Lucky at the start of the game, along with a bunch of other abilities, which makes farming for synth items MUUUUCH faster. It should make this category theoretically faster than Beginner Mode for 100% Journal.

Why Dream Shield?
Once More, Second Chance, Defender, and Critical Half are all huge. Air Combo Boost is also important for quite a few fights. You also hit Finishing Plus at level 65 at the perfect time to use for the Cups. Staff Route might be faster with more in-depth testing, but I'd rather not. :P

Wait, you beat the game Twice? O_O
Yup. You need to defeat Final Xemnas to activate the Xemnas Data, and you need to beat the game after completing All Worlds to activate Terra.

Why no English Patch?
Modifications of the game make the run somewhat illegitimate, so I prefer not to. That, and I can navigate the menus just fine.

How are you playing KH2FM? Emulator? Japanese PS2?
I'm playing KH2FM on an NTSC-U Playstation 2, using a Flip Top and Swap Magic. Use Google for more info on how this works.
