Most of the time I can usually see why people tend to like a game when I don't, this time around I really really struggle to see that. For me the game has 0 redeemable qualities. The gameplay is almost as bad as the first, if not the same level. A slower hack slash that has a shitty parry/guard mechanic and no dodge mechanic for most of the game, just doesn't do it at all for me. The story for half of it is just retelling of disney movies? Horrible build up and the revisits felt completely redundant and didn't offer anything worth it. Build up to the final world didn't feel like it existed. Obviously you're supposed to take in the context of Re:chain of memories and 358/2, but finding those boring and uninteresting, it doesn't help the narrative at all here. Antagonist group is just there and don't feel as developed. I've voiced my complaints about the disney characters before, but genuinely, what is their point? The original characters like Sora, Roxas, Kairi, etc. just aren't interesting. All the story bit happen in the last few hours of the game, one 'good' moment doesn't change the rest of the games, nor was the ending parts rewarding either.
