I'm starting out in Beginner mode - yeah, I know, pathetic, but I am still practically a novice in console games - I've only had my PS2 for a few months and my only console history is tetris, Sim City (classic) and fiddling a tiny bit with Donkey Kong and Killer Insticnt back when I had a SNES, and most of the time since I've had my PS2 has been stalled on the damn barrels in KH1 and I don't have access to powersaves for KH2 (Codejunkies is slow that way) so I'm going to have to play it the hard way.

So, conclusion? I'm starting in Beginner, then I'll do Standard, then Proud.
