The long-awaited conclusion to the Xehanort Saga ultimately met my expectations, with the gameplay exceeding it and the story falling below.
The expansion on Keyblades, making even early-game blades still relevant in the late-game was a genius addition to gameplay. The spectacle added by the Attraction attacks are great for a first playthrough, though in subsequent playthroughs I tend to turn them off.
If only the story was treated with the same care. It's clear that the writers struggled with resolving the loose threads of the franchise, leading to an ultimately unimpressive blend of overused tropes and cliches that would leave even the most hardcore fan unsatisfied.
