by far my favorite kh game, and it'll take a lot for another installment to dethrone it. i'll be the first to acknowledge that it strays from the mainline gameplay, and naturally a lot of players hated the drop system bc of that, but switching between sora and riku kept things feeling fresh to me. the virtual pet lover in me adored taking care of my dreameaters, and flowmotion felt so organic that i've missed it ever since.
i love this game! can be a controversial take but i stand by it. i feel the same way about re:coded as i do about this game: this is kind of a microcosm of everything i love about kingdom hearts, all in one package. this one just has the addition of dream eaters! who could dislike that?
as a non-numbered title, the combat is more about skills you use in a "deck," but this is (as with birth by sleep) its best iteration. i love the direction of riku's character in this title.

left out a bit disappointed, the story is great, the best aspect of a canon handheld, but this is also the direct sequel of one of my favorite games kh 2, so i was hoping for at least the gameplay to resemble it.
while i don't mind the addition of dream eaters, locking character progression behind them at least for me feels really dumb, at least it followed the BBS fighting system, which is my second favorite game so far.
so story good, gameplay alright, now i have high hopes for 3.
the epic port : it sucks, none of the games had slowdown but this one decided to do during battles, you get used to it after a while but it never vanishes, and plenty of users can feel it too.
on a higher note, this is almost a riku game, so bonus points for that, and is SO SOOOO GAY I LOVE IT

My least favorite entry that I've actually completed.
This one was just not good on 3DS. Haven't replayed on console yet, so my opinion may change. Story beats aside even. KH3 served to better flesh out the time travel mechanics of the Kingdom Hearts universe, but at the time of this game, it was completely out of left field.
Also why in the hell did they think Sora would make a good Xehanort? What were they thinking?
