I didn't find any part of BbS hard at all. I mean I really can't even see why it'd be difficult unless you're like pounding on the X button.
That's pretty much it. I imagine the same people who found KH1 hard will find BbS at least somewhat challenging. Because from what I've seen, these people seem to forget that if you just stand in one place and press square, you block. They'd rather hit X, X, X, X like they did in KH2, only stopping perhaps to cure.
Virtually all enemies in all KH games follow a generic pattern. Find the pattern, block at the right time, counter. Rinse and repeat. You win.
Lol, it's not complex. It's just the overall pacing is the same problem that ails previous Kingdom Hearts games.
KH, CoM, KH2, Days. All of them had this issue, with most important plot points coming in at the extremities, stuffed with Disney filler in between. No matter what people say, KH1 was no different. Yeah, it had the silver lining of the PoH and the Disney villains gathering but, all things considered, even these scenes don't contribute much to the overall plot. When we're talking about the individual plots for the KH1 Disney worlds, yes, they are filler, just like they are in every other game.
But this problem of integrating the Disney stories, I'm not even really sure how they could solve it. They're each supposed to be a slightly altered version of their movie counterparts. In other words, they're supposed to be a collection of stories in the game, which accounts for the very disjointed feel between the main plot and the Disney worlds. Whereas other games don't have to worry about streaming through one plot point to the next, KH is essentially jumping between the canon of different Disney movies.
In order to truly make these worlds matter, you'd have to give up on virtually all of their original content and rewrite them so that they could fit together.
Well it's harder than KH2 and KH1 because you can't just spam cure and items like you could previously, you really need to conserve your cure for when you need it and the bosses like Experiment 221 have a way of staying clear from you which can become annoying at times lol.
KH2: You cured, and it used up all of your magic, so you had to wait for it to fill back up. You could expedite the process with ethers.
BbS: You use commands which can recharge. In fact, you can have multiple cure commands.
Well I personaly don't think the story is complexed, i just like how they tied things together. But for a non hardcore fan or beginer to KH it may be a little hard for them to follow the story, since some of the info you have to do a bit of observation, cause it doesn't hand information out directly like KH2 and KH1 did.
For a non-core KH fan, the game shouldn't be complex. If anything, it's more complex for us hardcore fans who like to over analyze and scrutinize every detail. Yeah, they might miss out on some of the subtleties and nuances, but that's the point. When you take those out of consideration, the overall plot of BbS is pretty easy to follow. Pretty, I'd even say, simple.
