really? that sounds terrible. the game is so easy for so long i figured it would stay that way

Yeah it's kind of a shame. It all starts when there's a boss who's so fast he gets 2-5 attacks every time you get one. But all of his skills are physical, so the guy who looks like Auron can just cast Counter once and sit on it--the status doesn't go away until you enter a new command, so you win by abusing its 100% evasion rate and the plinky ~30 damage counters it does until the boss dies. Everything else after that also has weird gimmicks, like the boss that casts regen and heals like 9999 every turn :downs:

The exception is that the Hagakure dual tech has a stun proc that works on every enemy in the game, but you have to have been building your skill crystals towards increasing your proc chance every single time the game gives you the option. If you were dumb like me, it'll do great damage and cost very little MP, but it's basically impossible to stun bosses without the increased proc rate because they have resistance.

Of course, actually leveling your skill crystals is random on top of that, and can only happen when you're fighting monsters that are roughly equal to you in strength, so by nature of gaining levels, you slowly make it impossible to get the skill improvement chance.

idk if I'd call KH embarrassing, but it's definitely cringey.
it's not an embarrassing story, it's just stupid as hell, to the point where you actively stop trying to follow it. it's also worth noting that Chain of Memories and the DS game were two different retellings of KH1

if you remove the Organization XIII stuff, the convoluted idiocy of the Kingdom Hearts series would be drastically reduced

Disney Japan was talking about moving out of the building they share with Squeenix, and Squeenix got shook af Disney was going to pull support on the new cash cow, so they cooked up all this ORG 13 poo poo so they'd have villans if the House of Mouse split, and then drove everything right into the ground.

Everyone should try changing the whole party's name to Sephiroth on PC some day, it's beautiful. With how often they say his name and eachother's names you'll have no loving idea what's going on.

Even original FF7 hosed that up compared to FF6. All rpg menus and text boxes should always be wood-grain.
