It's amazing how much better KH2 is to KH1 though.

I'll take Atlantica 2: The Musicial to Atlantica 1: Swimming Controls for Combat Suck and the Camera is Terrible.

Well that's too bad, because swimming and underwater combat are back for KH3.

At the very least I hope the swimming controls are more like KH2 than they were in KH1. I also hope they actually do something new with that world at least instead of rehashing the plot of The Little Mermaid for a 4th time.

Yeah and I bet it won’t play like poo poo like KH1 does. KH1 is just all around kinda a bad game that plays like poo poo in all possible ways.

The gap in playability between KH1 and KH2 is like the grand loving canyon.

Yeah but since combat is like 90% of the game that seems fine, also I disagree. The platforming and character design in KH2 is also better

platforming is worse by a huge margin, and as for character design it's disqualified by the presence of Org XIII alone

the improvements in combat weren't enough to make up for how stodgy and lifeless everything else felt

How is the platforming worse in KH2? You get all your movement abilities faster and all the platforms are distinct, as opposed to like... Monstro

because it doesn't exist

all of the areas in kh2 were enormous barren plains with nothing interesting in the way of mechanics or design

i would rather take monstro again over something as dead as the Mulan world

Mostly due to there not being any platforming in vanilla KH2.

You could just play the games without platinuming them.

KH platforming always kinda sucked, even though I liked exploring the hell out of Hollow Bastion in 1. 3D's Flowmotion was the best platforming that the series ever had. 2's platforming being nonexistent was a bummer, but the combat was so good that it was easier to let it slide. Cave of Remembrance was a bunch of fun though, and I wish there was more poo poo like that.

Ah, well at least it won't be the main focus of the entire world this time at any rate. Hopefully that means we've been spared another visit to Atlantica this time around then.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed platforming in a KH game, even Cavern of Remembrance. 3D was the worst of it though because of Flowmotion.

Like if I want a 3D platformer I'd rather just play Mario 64 again or something.

The movement abilities in KH2 are for fighting, not dicking around. They added the stickers and stuff for people who wanted that (and Dodge Roll) in Final Mix, but it was always meant for combat. I do not understand holding Atlantica of all things against KH2. The Roxas prologue sure (even if I think it's fine and only doesn't work on repeat playthroughs which is true of many things in life). Atlantica though? You can just never go there if you hate it that much.

Honestly I think playing as Riku in Chain of Memories is better than it was in 3D. He feels tangibly different from Sora in Chain, for better or worse. In Dream Drop Distance they have a few unique commands sure, but they aren't even as different as Terra, Aqua, and Ven.

がんばルビ!
Riku gets a combo of Aqua and Terra's commands if I remember right, while Sora just gets Ventus's stuff. It's why you can go more magic focused with Riku if you want, but he has a lot of Darkness stuff to fall back on too.

Also dream eater fusion is more fun than Sora's dream eater team attacks.

My favorite part of Chain of Memories is having a 0 ready to break the sleight, but being too wrapped up in hitstun to actually use it. I wish you could rearrange Riku's decks. I get the challenge of them being preset, but being able to move them around would be great. There's no reason to have 0s in the middle, dang it.

Raxivace
Sep 9, 2014

You just set one of those zeros onto the shortcut command.

Its kind of annoying having to do it with Riku every time you enter a new floor but it only takes a second.

The 14th is the actual leader, revealed in the secret ending. After all of the Xehanorts are defeated, Kingdom Hearts shows up.

A body comes out of the darkness; it's Hank Hill, picking up Xehanort's keyblade and removes the keychain revealing a propane styled one.

So I'm finally playing Birth By Sleep and I think I've got the general gameplay loop down - I'm playing it like fusing demons in SMT games, it seems like I should be using commands unless I max them out, always be swapping and trying to meld new commands, play Command Board when I can to get new poo poo. Does that sound right? I'm making a beeline for Magnega which seems super powerful. I'm a few worlds into Terra's story and I'm enjoying it so far
