Including the Secret Episode because that was just a grind, I can do grinds.

ooh, I'm curious to hear your thoughts! I love BbS.

I mean, I was inclined to like it from the get-go because Terra is my favorite ^^

(hi I have a thing about kind boys with possession issues)

Very good game though!

The three different perspectives on the different worlds is an interesting way to do it, and they all hit different areas of the plot so it doesn't get tedious.

I like the command deck, though I can definitely see where there are parts of it that are not the best balanced. Some neat moves in there though.

Shotlocks are cool too ^^ once I figured out how to use them. I imagine they'd be harder for me on a controller, but that's what keyboard and mouse is for---

I am not going into this plot-blind at all, but that just means that I'm able to pay attention to the scenes and know what's happening, and it is a very emotionally tough game in parts. (A lot because Terra is my favorite.)

Between the command deck and the MP from KH2, I honestly kind of prefer the command deck? If only because you don't get locked out of all of your magic because you had to heal once. Though I get what they were going for with that, I just am not skilled at this yet and like not being locked out of stuff---

Though the way the command deck works does kind of discourage item use, in a way.

(Incidentally, there's a stack limit of 99 of a given item. Which is fair and makes sense, it's just I ran into it in my grinding and was like huh.)

Also I think I've learned a lot, or at least some, if only because I was headbutting Iron Imprisoner III and IV while I was grinding because I decided to try and go for Ultima Cannon with Terra (which I did), which gave me a very good case study in the strategy of Run Away Until Your Opponent Shows An Opening And Then Hit It With A Shotlock, so there's that.

I probably should have more to say but it is midnight and my thoughts are a little disjointed but this was good!

I'll probably be taking a break from KH for a bit because Neo TWEWY is coming out in a couple days, but after I finish that one I'll probably move onto Dream Drop, because while I have played that one before, 1) it was the first one I played and I hadn't actually gone through all the cutscene videos yet so I had no context

and 2) I kind of want to see what they did to translate it from two screens down to one.

yeah, I really enjoyed the BbS combat system a lot too! I love D-links, I wish those had gotten migrated into KH3

I loved the way they incorporated what a D-link represents in the fiction into the mechanics during the Vanitas fight

(also I adore Terra and I, too, have a thing about kind boys with possession issues ksjgsdfg)

oh man, I forgot Neo TWEWY was coming out so soon
