I was deliberating giving this an 8/10, but I think a game that made me tweet about how good it was 3 times deserves a 9.
These characters are fantastic, I’m not sure how much I really liked the plot itself but I got really invested into the characters. I feel for the heroes, and I love to hate the villains. The gameplay was really interesting, it was kinda overwhelming on my first run but on the next two I engaged with some of the mechanics like melding earlier and had a way better time.
Aqua: I’m glad I did her story first, it doesn’t give you that much information and it made me more interested in seeing what happens in the other two. Really interesting to have a magic based playable character in a game like this. Probably my least favorite of the routes, but it got really good towards the end.
Ventus: My favorite of the trio, both in character and route. Idk if it’s just cuz he plays like Sora, but I definitely had the most fun with him. I love Vanitas as a villain, and this is when we see the most of him, all culminating in that great final boss.
Terra: Really weird to control at first, but I got used to it quickly. I really like him as a character, and it’s cool how it’s integrated into the gameplay since he has darkness attacks and stuff. That final boss was actually good imo, really tough but it never felt that unfair, I always had some chance.
Man it would suck if we lived in a world where Kingdom Hearts was bad
