Yeah pretty much
Convoluted story because they thought it would be fun to do a dozen spin offs before the final game in the Xehanort saga. Didn’t help they added a smidge of time travel in near the end of the game…that’s NEVER a good idea. Also the games motivation to go to other worlds was basically so Sora could regain his power of waking as he lost it in Dream Drop Distance, I felt they could have had a better way of going to other worlds rather than a plot line to depower Sora.
The worlds didn’t feel as big and some of the choices were baffling, I mean Frozen, Pirates of the Caribbean (again), Toy Story BUT didn’t follow the plot of the film but rather a new story. Then you had Olympus again but no colosseum.
No Final Fantasy characters at all
The Attractions mechanic got old fast, I would have rather seen a bigger focus on magic or summons
Also the combat felt off in places, a little “floaty” if that makes sense. The combat in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix was better.
