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.
