I think KH1 holds up okay but it takes a lot of getting used to. The flow of combat is slow and clunky and you have to be very deliberate in every move you choose to make, because you're committed to every single action.

And the camera handles like ass

There were points were I was fighting the camera controls as much as I was fighting the enemies

Yeah. And the lock-on barely works.

Lock-on was the only way I could consistently bring the camera under control so I could actually hit stuff

How is it OOT somehow did lock-on better??? No issues in that game! I always know exactly where Link is relative to the enemy.

I imagine it was jarring going from the Final Fantasy games of the time to developing that.

Yeah. Because every FF game had forced perspective back then. Even FF7.

And they were all still turn-based, right?

Yes. If you really want to call Active Time "turn-based"

FF10 was just flashy turn-based

Honestly, I can't stand Active Time combat. It's so firetrucking awkward. Like...it's kinda sorta turn-based, but you can't take too long to select an action??? idk it's super firetrucking weird and I had to switch to wait mode just to tolerate Chrono Trigger.

Real time or turn-based. PICK ONE!

Oh wait

I meant FF12 my bad

10 was just straight up turn based

Yeah that's what I thought

Still waiting for a turn-based KH btw. Olympus in Coded? Make that a whole game.

I mean, technically speaking, KHUX was a turn-based game. Just not in the traditional sense.

UX doesn't count

My favourite KH opening is the KH1 opening with the PlanitB remix of Simple and Clean (haha dance music)

I don’t get why so many people don’t really like that opening…

I mean the style of music is the main reason why that is my favourite

It’s housey and everything

It's just not their cup of tea.

I mean as an electronic music enthusiast, I would definitely put that remix in a house mix

do you take the cinematic into account or just the music ?

I take both

I love the animation!

But yeah

im gonna rewatch them, im not sure which one i prefer

It’s my favourite music from KH as an electronic music enthusiast

Just because it’s not someone’s favorite, does not mean they outwardly dislike it.

Most of the soundtrack to BBS is mostly electronic music
