i’m bad at cards irl anyways **and then there’s me, who mostly used magical attacks…with all three of them. *if you understand, just note: card gameplay? not a fan. Shotlocking is what Aqua is in the middle of doing and you basically go invulnerable and press X a lot to hit enemies. ![]() D-link allows you to link up with characters who you have D-links to (for example: Zack from Final Fantasy VII, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, or Cinderella from…well you know) to use their unique kits. Above, you’ll also see they added two new features that weren’t there previously: D-link and Shotlock. It especially hurts if you go into it from the smoother style of Kingdom Hearts 2. However, as fantastic as the variety is, the combat does suffer from being clunky. If you’re playing as Ven, you’ll want quick ones. If you’re playing Terra, you’ll want to meld strong physical attacks. You basically stop all the enemies around you from moving and just spam the Triangle button to do a bunch of damage to them. There are also really cool moves too: my favorite happens to be in Aqua’s playthrough called Time Splicer. Once these commands are maxed out (usually to level 3 or 4) you can meld two commands together to create a brand-new, usually more powerful one! For example, if you meld two Blizzards, you’ll get an upgraded version called Blizzara. You basically get a bunch of commands, and can attach abilities to them such as HP boost or Fire boost. For each character, you have certain stats depending on the character natural playstyle. This time though, there’s blessedly no cards*. Which leads me to my other favorite aspect of this game…įor this prequel installment in the series, the developers changed up the combat once again. The themes of friendship and light and darkness and the juxtaposition of it all can be cheesy at times but overall, it just heightened the emotional intensity of the game as a whole. My jaw dropped so far that I’m still not sure if I’ve fully picked it back up. But you only get the full picture of this terribly tragic story if you play through all of them and the secret episode. Technically, you could play through one character’s arc and end it there if you wish. Their paths never cross in this world, they each have wildly different final bosses, and you get to explore and interact with various places and people depending on who you’re playing as. Finally, Aqua doesn’t arrive until much later, when she helps the prince and dwarves by going and confronting the Evil Queen. Ven arrives at a totally different place: in the dwarf mines. For example, in Snow White’s world, Terra has the bad luck of meeting with the Evil Queen and being tricked into helping her out. Each character meets different characters, and tends to play a different role in each world. The game is really well-thought out: despite playing through each of the worlds three times, it never really gets repetitive. ![]() If you end up completing all three, then you unlock a special secret episode with the final ending. ![]() The cool thing about this game? You get to play through each of their character arcs, which means you play through all the worlds at least once. Basically, there are three characters: the slow but strong Terra, who struggles with darkness, the fast but weaker Ventus, who wants his friends to be happy, and the magical but physically weaker Aqua who wants to serve the light. If you do know what Kingdom Hearts is (or if you read my description above and haven’t left yet of terror – good for you!) then let me explain what Birth by Sleep is about in particular. In sequels, you get into a bunch of complicated stuff like Organization XIII and Nobodies, but don’t worry about that right now. Also, there’s a bunch of Final Fantasy characters and Mickey’s the king. Basically, the first game follows a boy named Sora as he hunts through different Disney worlds with the help of Donald and Goofy to find his two friends who were taken from him when their world collapsed. You’ll be confused and a little frightened but those feelings are totally normal don’t worry. If you don’t know what Kingdom Hearts is, let me explain.
