BbS is my favorite game in the series, but I think critiquing it is still good. As long as someone isn't doing it out of malice. I just... I like BbS more than KH2 for a multitude of reasons despite both of their flaws, which I accept. BbS tried really hard to replicate KH1's overarching plot, and I feel it did a much better job than KH2.
I watch a lot of newcomers on youtube play through the games and I must say, it's very addicting. I always notice new things when it's being played through other peoples eyes. For example, there's an lper on youtube who seems to absolutely despise this game so far, but I watch it to see what his issues were. So far, they appear to be:
#1: Hating fighting Vanitas. During his Ven playthrough, he lost to the first Vanitas fight multiple times. I was shocked. I played in critical mode (I don't remember what mode he played on) and I never lost to Vanitas. He, as well as other lpers don't like how random Vanitas appears to be. His patterns are too difficult to follow, and his counter attacks barely let you get any combos on him.
#2: He despises Eraqus and his reasonings. This kind of goes along with Aqua's seemingly unreasonable suspicion of Terra, Eraqus is too quick to jump to conclusions and his final decisions seem unnecessary (such as killing Ven)
#3: He thinks Terra is too stupid and he doesn't feel like Ven's character developed because he was 'strong' from the beginning.
I think once this person finishes the game (if he does, he hasn't finished Ven yet), he will be a lot like the person who made this video. For a long time, I lived in my own bubble and I hadn't realized some of BbS's issues (mostly the combat ones, I noticed the plot ones long ago and have already come to terms with them). It's best... not to get too worked up over it. I'm sure everyone can agree, BbS needed some polish and probably needed a few tweaks on how the characters were written. Out of all the KH games so far, BbS is the one I'm always so excited to see and play again. (I only cringe at the laughter at the beginning and Terra's voice. Haha, but, I'm sure by the time they record again, they'll have improved, I know Aqua has <3 )
And, I agree with my own statement again, KH2 is the reason all these other games spawned. It introduced these new underlying plots that had to be answered. I'm happy that they are at least giving Sora a BIG goal in KH3, while in KH2, he was wondering around not doing much of anything for most of the game. All these games, especially BbS, gives KH3 a 'threat' and a goal. They could have been done better, but BbS did not spawn all of these games, it was all on KH2.
