you cannot convince me that riku is not in love with sora i'm sorry

Very much a bridge game but I quite like it. Dream Eaters are a neat addition and it was fun to see Riku get to be the hero this time

prob the weakest over all but still fun

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.


i don’t think there’s a person alive that can accurately and concisely explain what happens in this game. probably the most convoluted mess in the franchise ever since recoded, and makes me baffled that this is the same series that made Kingdom Hearts 2.

I have no idea how no one talks about how this is one of the best action RPGs Square Enix has ever put out.

Birth by Sleep was the beginning of the end for the KH franchise but this is the game where I really started to realize how out of touch it had become with what made the first few games great.

HATE HATE HATE HATE

Un excellent spin off et sûrement mon 2eme KH préféré. Le jeu est sûrement l'un des plus beaux sur 3ds et le gameplay est excellent.

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

Really enjoyed this one <3 (trying to forget the difficulty spikes)

10/10 best KH game, has Quasimodo

Everyone who hates the flowmotion system just hates fun

Why couldn't Nomura put Symphony of Sorcery in KHII to replace Atlantica?

I had and have never played a kingdom hearts game. Except for when I was 11 and this came out i wanted it more than anything. I played it and knew nothing about kingdom hearts at all lol.

Pretty good KH game. Not my favorite combat system though.

For the life of me I could not get past Young Xehanort as Riku. Since I sold the OP Balloon attack I had no way of cheesing it so after about 10 hours of failing I just gave up and watched the ending on Youtube.

Incredibly Underrated. I would give whoever came up with flowmotion the most insane head.

soriku time (cranks up the mlm to 11)

ngl so fucking fun and love the worlds and music in this one

i cant relate. i loved this game a lot. amazing story that made me hyped for 3 even more and the worlds were amazing. fantasia being one of my all time favorites here.


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?

Throw your hatred at me. This is the best Kingdom Hearts that isn't KH2.

Really wonderful on 3DS, but like many portable games from this era, didn't quite translate very well to a big screen experience.
