Hey, everybody. I've already made a post about the series, but I feel I should introduce myself proper here.
My name is Neosmith and yes, I am a huge Matrix fan (not the sequels though -- they don't make any sense).
I'm a huge fan of KH, though I've admittedly grown disappointed with its story.
I've played only KH1, KH2 and BBS.
My favorite game as of now is BBS, largely because as it restored some of the platforming elements to the series, as well as provided by far the most variable and expansive battle system.
KH2 is my least favorite, as it largely dumbed down the gameplay, abolishing players' favorite techniques (dodge roll, strike raid), abilities and features (no more tech points?) and making the magic bar outright annoying (I hate how curaga removes all your MP and then forces you to wait while it regenerates - ethers are useless). Also, it really made the levels too linear and easy - you never had to do much to find chests anymore, and there practically weren't any actual platforming/puzzle solving aspects.
Nomura must've realized a lot of these issues, as KH2FM restored a lot of the missing features and altered a map or two for platforming's sake. I hope to finally play it if they release it on the HD remix.
