Which is honestly just a product of KH1’s better boss design

Indeed

i'll give you that. kh2 is fun because i can do what i want. but i also like that kh1 makes you think a little more with your boss fights.

Well also with how defensive options worked on KH1

On Proud you really nerd that extra stat help from Aero

Like literally the only way to lose in KH2 is to do nothing

aero was a god send for me. i was more compelled to use magic in 1, not to say i didn't use it in 2, just not as much

Which is Kinda why I like main story Deymx in HB as a boss fight

You have some options, but it's not an instant win

You gotta work a bit

the only boss that had be working was sephiroth in 2 (i didn't fight him in 1)

Exactly. It makes you use your brain. BBS is good at that too.

it's that appeal that ff games have. i haven't played a lot of them but i remember liking how in 10 you had to think about your next move, consider magic, elements, not just physical attacks.

Really any competently designed JRPG

xv was my first ff game, then 10. xv is more like kh so i got a handle on it quickly. i hadn't played turned-based before until 10

My desire still rings true
Bring back the J in the JRPG for KH lol

Bring back that turn based style details in KH, it'll work so well

I despise games that let you go in auto pilot and then act like you’re a good player somehow

i think the closest we'll get is sora doing commands with donald and goofy. maybe closest with the dream eaters since you're more compelled to use them. i almost never used commands with donald and goofy in 2

if they did turned based, they'd probably do what ff7r did

I think KH2 is at least nice that even after many playthroughs you aren't in auto pilot per say
Not like KH3 base game

That's my other desire
Make party members good again

If you're gonna make them die every few seconds, just have Sora go on a solo adventure

For real. Turn based dungeon crawling KH spin-off. That’s all I ask for.

But like KH1 again, did it so well by making Donald an amazing Red Mage and Goofy a top tier tank/support

Vs KH2 eh, you get limits
KH3, might as well be a solo adventure

If Adol in Ys can do it and still be compelling you might as well do it with KH

Donald got cucked in 2

Critical mode doesn't give him once more and second chance lol

The finishers in KH3 were so damn cool

Based on proximity

my boys donald and goofy need to level up as support party members. sora carrying the hold team lol

Once again for those who missed it: DONALD IS NOT A PANIC BUTTON

Tweak his AI right and you'll never need to panic
