Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - Final Mix (PS3)

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I enjoyed the different characters and their playstyles; Terra felt so unlike other KH protagonists with how slow and unagile he was, Ventus felt like a Drive-form at all times and Aqua was wet paper tissue...until she got spells, and then she turned into the biggest, most destructive glass cannon I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. That girl kills, yo.

The story was typical KH shenanigans. It was probably even more so; especially Terra's story suffered from an overabundance of darkness darkness friends light darkness darkness. I did enjoy some of the plot twists, but I can't tell if I enjoy them for what they are or because it was silly. While the different main characters were cool, the Disney worlds felt kind of sparse and short a lot of the times. Each character kinda had a few worlds that felt a bit longer and more expansive, but it definitely felt way more like background rather than something that had really been crafed.

Melding was a really cool way to get new skills and build abilities. I think the only flaw with it for me was just how unintuitive it was. Figuring out how to make Firaga wasn't hard, but all the other cool abilities really kind of feel like a trial-and-error, which isn't that bad, but it can be a chore if you don't get anything interesting and then have to grind that ability back up again so you can try out some stuff.

I didn't do much with the Command Board; it was neat but a bit too slow for my liking. Disney Town minigames were fine; the driving one was confusing but once you knew the shortcuts it was fine, Fruitball was hectic fun and Ice Cream Beat is a hellspawn that must be eradicated from existence as soon as possible.

Kudos to the Final Mix people for dropping me out of my chair with the extra level and boss in the Secret Ending. It was a bit disappointing given the limited amount of different Heartless to fight, but oh well. The secret boss was really tough, which also made me realize something about BBS in comparison to other KH games; I feel like it's a lot more defensive/patience-based than other KH games that I played (not counting secret/hidden bosses). Wonder what side the other KH games will be...

I > BBS > II > CoM

I have a real soft spot for I, BBS just has so many cool combat moves and it's been quite a while since I played II, so we'll see if it climbs again in the future. CoM was fine but I definitely didn't understand the combat system well enough when I played it. Wonder if I should replay it on GBA or PS3?
