Yeah, you get extra command slots in BBS, but you start of with crappy commands anyways, and you still ultimately end up with the same 8 slot command deck. THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE OR INCENTIVE TO PLAY ON THESE HARDER DIFFICULTIES, ASIDE TO PUNISH YOURSELF. This can be reflected in BBS and DDD Critical Mode reduces your HP, lowers your damage output, and increases enemy damage output. We don't CHALLENGE ourselves for punishment we do it for the fun in the game, and when you literally eliminate a combat option as a method to make a game harder, it doesn't make the game any more fun to play. What does this mean? Yeah sure, it makes the game harder and longer it also makes the game LESS FUN. This means out of the 3 options you have for damaging enemies, one is pretty much useless, so you only have 2 normal attacks and shotlocks. Magic is literally eliminated as a reliable option for attacking in this mode. You can use up to 3 Magic spells on Critical Mode before running out of MP. They're making the harder difficulties hard. Here's my issue, and I've noticed a lot of recent KH games falling into this trap: Unfortnately, those three are ALL the options you have for damage output (not counting Style Changes which I consider as attacking or Magic Finishers which I consider as Magic obviously). Shotlocks are super situational, but can be useful if used correctly. Magic Combos are cool, and the way Magic effects enemies is neat. No complaints there.Д¬ombos are faster than Aqua's in BBS and also good options in gameplay, but there's not many options to begin with. Alright, I've had a bit more time with 0.2 and I can make some final conclusions on the gameplay:
