I remember waiting and hoping that this game would get an American release and being happy when they finally announced the localization for this. The story was completely original and I really enjoyed it a lot. Patrick Redfield has a really interesting power and is a good villain. The combat reminds me a bit of Kingdom Hearts but nobody has quite as many combat options in terms of the wide amount of abilities Sora has. Each character does feel different though and each of them has a unique fighting style and abilities that allow them to unlock secrets across the levels. The combat does feel a little bit slow and somewhat janky but overall it isn't terrible. In retrospect, I'm glad Bandai Namco localized it as this is a solid adventure.
