Not really sure how it's a double negative. I'm just saying my opinion hasn't changed much. I did still ultimately come out of the experience still a little more positive and more confident in my abilities with the game than I did prior.  It just wasn't enough to actually make me like it. 

That... is a double negative and I don't think it means what you actually intended it to mean. That being said, woof. As cool as the time travel concept was, clearly this game totally bungled the execution.

I'm looking forward to the prologue but that's cause I got a Roxas bias from the RP. Cool dude.

Preach. I only played KH1 for the first time late 2022 and felt pretty much the same as you. The controls in KH2 are a vast improvement but don't expect to see your other complaints get resolved. If you tuned out of the story here then whoo boy, have fun with that prologue...

i mean, they keep trying, starting in Gen 2, with friendship, but then tried new stuff with Brushing, caring and cleaning them for friendship, as well as Feeding them (Most notably gen 9, but also gen 7). although these are good ways for relaxed gameplay, it feels more of a grind giving that people mostly do it for battling and collecting, which, quite frankly, is the game's whole point; "Catch 'Em all", and Battle it out, but that isn't Cozy. Not for me, anyway.
