I remember the first time I played Birth by Sleep, I couldn't stand the combat system, with the command list and all that. I even remember thinking, I kinda don't want to play this game though because of this. Thank God I continued, because after playing it for awhile, it easily became my favorite battle-system; I just needed to get used to it. Then Dream Drop Distance came along and just improved upon it and added Flowmotion, so I'd have to go with Dream Drop Distance having the best gameplay in my opinion. I just hope that Kingdom Hearts 3 brings back shotlocks. Those were fun.
