Oh 100%

It make me understand the system so much more. I defiantly could have optimized it a bit better for the final fights but it worked out

So now time Golden question
How does DDD in general stack up to the other handhelds?

Xion is also symbolic of how despite his efforts Xehanort just can't control everyone he manipulates. Xion was created specifically to be a compliant wielder of the Keyblade, a failsafe if Roxas didn't work out, and yet she showed the self-determination to strike out on her own and seek out her origins, even sacrificing her existence in physical and metaphysical form to act again Xemnas.

With respect to both using and not using commands

I think the game overall stands very strong among the handheld titles with the stand out aspects being the music, the worlds and some emotional moments. I don't think the command system is the best in the series and has some serious flaws to it, but many of the commands are unique and fun as well as relating back to previous games including CoM, BBS, and Re:Coded. The game was defiantly not designed to be played without attack/magic commands, but there is actually a solid amount of abilities and options for non-command attacks. Unfortunately, the end game heavily on the Spirit Roar ability to be able to do damage to rare enemies. The bosses weren't too bad on the defense tho.

Overall, I do think the argument could be made for it being the strongest handheld title overall, but it would be a fierce argument.

Hmmm interesting

Granted, I am a bit biased towards the game but I can defiantly accept and acknowledge the flaws

I do think Days is the strongest handheld story and Re:coded is the best command system but most other things DDD could take. It also has both and Orchestrated version of Simple and Clean as well as Sanctuary

One of the biggest things that I annoys me about the game is the multiple final bosses for Riku.

I've talked about this before but all the fake-out final bosses gets annoying overtime.

It is nice that there is a break between ABCN + Ansem 1/2 and YX and Armored Nightmare Ventus but it's still annoying at their sequence. Also their health doesn't reflect their "final boss" atmosphere.

yeah especially after YX you'd think "alright now we can sit back"

Yeah and it's odd that Ansem 1/2 has more health than YX and Armored Ven combined

The dive to the heart is super cool tho

yeah not too surprised about Ven
YX probably had less cause of the time stuff

in which case maybe they could have put Ansem afterwards? maybe not lol

Maybe switch Ven and YX that's what I could see

maybe

@ElectriCole ayyy congrats!

Thanks!

That wall kick

Yeah it's pretty useful

Especially with no commands lol

Yeah there were a few times where flowmotion was just not an option

Lots of smaller places in the musketeers world from what i remember

Now try to beat kh1 proud Ansem SoD without aero

that's actually pretty doable

Fr?

Actually, Riku's Grid boss was one of the worse parts of the run

On both KH1 Expert and KH1FM Proud

Damn, I couldn't have beat him if I didn't have aero
