EDIT: Well, apparently I don't know how to use spoiler tags on this forums... Can a mod fix it?
All I can say is wow. Why is there so much hate for it? I can't believe I never actually watched/played it in it's entirety.
Some thoughts:
The first Hollow Bastion visit. Wow. I found myself actually holding back tears in some scenes. Especially when Donald and Goofy told Sora that[B][I] his friends are his power.[/I][/B] (I thought that line was only used in DDD, and I [I]just[/I] now realized that it was the real Sora that said it in DDD!) Also, don't get me started on that scream Riku shouted out after getting corrupted. I got goosebumbs on that on. Kudos to David Gallagher and the English localization team.
And lets not forget that whole Castle Oblivion part. Again I was holding so much tears back after Sora and Roxas fought. I knew about the memories showing Axel, Roxas, Xion, and TAV but it hits harder when watching/playing it. Loved how everyone looked like they were in so much pain.
The only thing I don't get is the something in the Secret Ending II. YX sounded like he was about to say Xigbar at the end when Braig asked "Which one of these unlucky souls?", which would make sense seeing as Braig/Xigbar told Sora he was "Already half Xehanort" in DDD. But at that time in the Secret Ending scene he was still Braig...
