I was starting to get sick of the melodrama present in CoM and KHII, so I rolled my eyes pretty hard when I first saw this game; but after playing it, my expectations were subverted.
Rather than trying to ground itself, BBS embraces its ridiculousness (whether intentional or not) and tells a surprisingly tragic story. Its choice of Disney properties is also quite appropriate, reflecting the setting and emotional journey of its characters quite well.
It still has some of the usual KH pratfalls and doesn't work well as a standalone entry, but it's arguably the best of the franchise. It's unfortunate that later entries do not conclude BBS's arcs in any meaningful way.

It's not a story about saving the world, but rather avenging it. We see the effects of it on 14 characters of varied ages, genders, races, beliefs, and even species, who join up to overcome something larger than themselves.
To me, this is still Square's magnum opus. It turned so many fantasy and JRPG tropes on their head while improving on everything the series already did. It deserves far more praise than it gets.
