Kingdom Hearts II Why I Disliked KH2

The reason some things were unexplained because you either haven't played CoM or haven't played 358/2 days
These will tell you why Sora went to sleep; what Roxas was doing and so on

notice i used the word "dislike" and not "hate". well, i thought that this sequel was very disappointing compared to the previous games, here's why:

1. the game was too easy. it's a button masher's dream. the reaction command feature was poorly executed, it could've been something better but this wasn't what i had in mind when i found out about it. it's just commands that require almost no timing as you can just Mash Triangle until it works and then it does an insane amount of damage with the minimum effort. also, you can block about 90% of the attacks in the game making it quite possible to get through alot of fights without getting hit. another thing, drive forms heal you COMPLETELY. using a drive form is like using an elixir but you can use it while you're getting damaged and you can easily regain Drive Gauge, so it's the easiest way to heal.

2. reflect spell. i made this seperate because this just takes all the effort out of the game. it makes you invulerable, AND it's WAAY overpowered.

3. super long animations- i thought some of the animations were way too long in this game. they drag your combo out much longer than nessacary, good lord, i'm just trying to beat the crap out of people, not impress a crowd.

4. the game was too short- i only had 20 hours on my first playthrough of the game, way too short for an RPG

5. boring cutscenes- there were quite a lot of long cutscenes that i ended up skipping, even on the first playthrough of the game. alot of these cutscenes weren't even essential to the story

6. Too many repeat worlds- i didn't like the amount of old worlds in this game, it was just uninteresting to me

7. The Big One---Too many unexplained things in the story----there were just TOO many things that were unexplained such as the whereabouts of Namine and Diz while Sora and friends were going around. why Roxas even left the Organization to begin with, the deal with Riku's blindfold (which is explained in Final Mix but not in the original release of the game). with all these unexplained things, it's no wonder Square made 358/2 Days to clean up this mess.

these are why i thought the game was disappointing, still worth playing but not as good as it could've been. feel free to disagree with anything i said.

My brother was saying something similar to #7. he said it was getting dumb because they don't explain these things, but, i think it was supposed to be like that to make it mysterious and stuff like that. but i disagree. it was supposed to make you think. Chain of Memories might explain it....
