KHBbS Problems and Criticism with Birth by Sleep

[Dio Brando 5,810]

I know I'm gonna be torn apart for this since everyone think Birth by Sleep is the Best KH Game ever made.......but even so

 

I've encountered many problems with this game that bothered me because even if the game us so good...it's soooooooooooo far from being perfect compared to KH1 & KH2

 

I'm gonna start with the gameplay:

 

1\Boss Battles(the main bosses not secret ones)

 

The boss battles in BBS are the easiest boss battle I ever played in the series(I was playing on Proud and Critical and I didn't touch normal difficulty) they had a the Lowest HP since chain of memories and most of them either easy to beat or require a cheap strategy to get through

Example: Vanitas. You don't have to attack him constantly because he teleports after two hits everytime...the easiest way to beat him even on critical....hit him twice & dodge,..hit him twice and dodge until the green gauge is filled then do the Shotlock....rence and repeat....every fight with vanitas is like this except the last one with ventus in the Awakening(Dive to the heart if you insist) the fight with Venitas(Ventus+Vanitas) was the easiest and the stupidest fight in the entire game.that's about Vanitas....other bosses are easy to beat as long as you use you OVERPOWERED Shotlock attacks as much as possible...Master Xehanort(old form not Terranort) is so easy to the point he was never able to land a hit on me on most of the time he stares at me like a retard waiting for me to attack him....the other bosses are also easy as long as you avoid getting hit.,....the Only hard bosses were Terranort & Terranort

 

2\Frame rate

 

the framerate drop when there are al lot of unversed ..and some time it even drop when you fight a single boss even without a lot of things happening on screen

 

 

3\the Unversed

 

The Unversed arw whimpy and way weaker than the heartless and the nobodies....they barely pose any kind of threat once you use the overpowered Shotlock and some magic

 

4\some moves are increadibly overpowered

 

The Shotlock is so overpowered that some enemies and bosses don't stand a chance against you....not to mention that everytime you level up the Shotlock you had in your command deck the gauge will drop Slower and slower everytime you use it...making it unlimited.......also...the Zack D-Link Final finishing move is sooo unbalanced in the japanese version and it needs more balancing in the English version(even with the balancing they've done)

 

5\The D-links are useless

 

except for Zack who's the most powerful....all other D-links are useless and weak...the Only D-link I ever used other than Zack was Peter Pan

 

6\some glitches

 

there are some glitches I've encountered against some unversed....and one glitch against Master Xehanort that make him freeze in the air which allowed me to endlessly attack him

 

 

7\ Destiny Island is just a cutscene and Yen Sid's Tower had been severely got cut into two rooms

 

 

 

now for the Story

 

1\Eraqus's Actions is non-sensical and pointless

 

His judgement on the Mark of Mastery Test makes no sense and he's just being a Light-whore....Terra didn't use the power of Darkness...he kept it at bay until the end of the test...he never used the power of darkness against Aqua during the test....Eraqus just being obssessed with the light and from that he didn't declare Terra as a master ...increasing the Darkness in Terra's heart with that action instead of trying to hold it back......

 

his second action that doesn't make any sense...if he really knew about the X-blade...he should've known about the seven Lights and 13 Darkness....so..killing\sealing Ventus won't stop Xehanort from creating the X-blade....even if Ventus didn't fuse with Vanitas,Xehanort will Seek the 7 lights and 13 darkness....making his action towrad Ventus a big non-sensical mistake

 

2\How did the entire series happened before Aqua????????

 

if you noticed...Aqua has done 2 things that made the entire series happen...

 

first: she caused the Fight between Sora & Riku 10 years later when she refused to choose Sora to wield the keyblade by the excuse of(one keyblade is enough for any friendship) she didn't want them to fight....but this very action is one of the causes of Riku's betrayel in KH1 because Riku was chosen by Terra and Sora simply chosed by no one until he harnessed his power later on without needing Ventus's heart anymore

 

Second: unpurposely Saving Xehanort.

 

by Saving Terra's body.,Aqua also saved Master Xehanort who later caused the entire universe to be gulfed in chaos using Ansem,Xemnas and Organization XIII.you may say this is a noble sacrifice ...but I say it's a stubborn one.......she could've falled alongside him to the realm of Darkness and figure out later away to kick Xehanort out of Terra's body so she can make sure the life's of millions out there won't be harmed by Xehanort.....but by Saving Terra's Body instead of sinking with him she gave Xehanort what he exactly demanded.....this action indirectly caused the enitre universe to be invaded by the heartless and with that she indirectly gave birth to Organization XIII....Causing the Entire KH series to occur....making herself unaware that she's the cause of the Catastrophy.....and that is not a good enough explanation to how everything happened

 

3\Ventus's Design is just plain lazy

 

If the only connection between Ventus and Roxas(Sora's Nobody) is just a haircut and some clothes.....then what's the point of designing Ventus like this????...you may say that Ventus is Roxas and that is stupid because there are like a million proof that Roxas is not Ventus and He's Sora's Nobody and his hair look like Ventus because of Ventus's heart and Ventus's heart still inside Sora(that's why he can dual-wield in KH2) so what's the point.....why not give ventus his own unique design instead of rehashing the same design with some editing.....this is one of the reason's why I hate Ventus...alongside other reason's that I'm gonna explain later related to his overall characteristics

 

 

that's some of the annoyances I had with Birth by Sleep........although I still think the game is still good.....but is sooooooooo far from being perfect or being the best KH game ever made....It's just overhyped and Overrated but that doesn't mean it's a bad game.....finally......This is just my opinion and like to hear your problems with the game if you had one

mickey is a pretty good d-link. He gives exp boost.

I agree with most of your problems, except I find them to be fairly minor when it comes to how awesome the rest of the game is. Although, I don't agree with your attacks on Eraqus. I don't see them as a problem because that's his character. A light-whore. That's not a problem with the game, that's a flaw in his personality that he needs to overcome. Also, he may or may not have known about the 7 lights and 13 darknesses. If he did, then trying to stop Ven was just an attempt to temporarily stop Xehanort's plans. Ven's design looks like Roxas because he harbors Ven's heart. The same as a piece of Sora's heart resides in Vanitas. I wouldn't say that it's lazy, it's just a way to create a buzz with the fans. I mean you must have been confused when you saw Ventus for the first time. That's what Square wants. lol Also, Destiny Islands being reduced to a few cutscenes isn't that bad, considering that KH2 and KH3D pretty much did the same thing. lol

[xXVentusfanXx 33]

i mostly agree with everything you said except rehashing ventus i mean if ventus didnt look like that then roxas would look like a sora clone and we already have enough of those but yea bbs is really overrated

[SinHeartlessAngel 555]

I agree with alot of this.

[Wolfgang 735]

I disagree with most of this but im to lazy atm to write reasons why.

[Mila 37]

his second action that doesn't make any sense...if he really knew about the X-blade...he should've known about the seven Lights and 13 Darkness....so..killingsealing Ventus won't stop Xehanort from creating the X-blade....even if Ventus didn't fuse with Vanitas,Xehanort will Seek the 7 lights and 13 darkness....making his action towrad Ventus a big non-sensical mistake

because M. Xehanort decided to use the 13 darkness-7 lights method AFTER the X-Blade thing with Ven was a failure

so maybe Eraqus didn't really know about this way to create the X-Blade

BBS was the best KH game. I`m done here.

[Elijah Gravenhorst 480]

I think your being a little harsh. You can make it whatever difficulty you want by not lvling as much also the vanitas fights ad a new power every time. IE: the firey dive into the ground and the shockwave thing after he attacks. I dont see the point in complaining about the game. The fact is that KH games in general are flexible in their experiences and can be customized to suit ones difficulty preferences.

[Remains of Old 117]

Gameplay 1: Boss Battles

Come to think of it, you have a point. The only bosses i found hard to beat were Vanitas in Ventus's heart, Final Boss Terranort, and some that don't count because they were in the Final Mix, like No Heart.

 

2. Framerate

Really? I really didn't have any single problem with that, i played it with no ''lag''.

 

3. Unversed: Altough i don't like their design, i think they're the same as heartless, only Nobodies were ''hard'' enemys for me.

 

4. I don't like abusing Shotlock, it is indeed overpowered. However, i think, if the person wants to have a nice battle with bosses, he wouldn't abuse it, i prefer to have some actual action in the game.

 

5. Never used Zack's D-Link, will try it later in Mirage Arena. The only d-links i actually used were Mickey.

 

6. Glitches: The only glitch i found was in Final Mix, while fighting with Master Eraqus Armor, he froze, and i could kill him easily.

 

7. The fact we couldn't play in Destiny Islands without cheating made me mad, too. Didn't really care about Yen Sid's tower, tough.

 

Story:

1. Eraqus: i don't think he knew about the 7 lights and 13 darknesses. But what you said about being a light-whore actually makes some sense.

 

2. Aqua's doings: Ok, didn't tought of that before, you have a point again.

Now, about unporposely saving MX, man, she tried to save Terra, it was all she could do, he was her friend, she didn't even care for MX, she had no time, and she tried to save her friend, the end. Now, i don't think she would predict MX would do such s*** like he did.

3. Ventus's design? Meh. I don't care about it, and i kinda like it.

 

This all made me think BBS is even more important, with Aqua's and Eraqus's doings.

[LightningXIII 310]

I really agree with this. As much as I love BBS, it is far from the best title in the series.

[ryudra27 14]

You know, it's really weird, because I agree with you on most parts (give and take a couple, such as Eraqus and Ven and etc), but I still love love love BBS. I mean, it's not my favorite KH game, but it's definitely way high up on my list. Kind of weird, it makes me wonder why I like it so much. Well, probably for obvious reasons, but I'm way too lazy to actually list reasons (and I'm at school, soooo yeah haha)

Snake I got question again how did aqua like made the feud between Riku and sora I thought aqua said if your friends falls to the wrong path you have to come save him

[WakelessDream 2,282]

The only complaint I have about BBS are the worlds seem kinda empty ;P

I disagree with a lot of what you have to say but I'm too lazy to chew you up on every little detail.

 

All I'll say is I didn't think Ven's character design was lazy, sure he looks like Roxas but there was reason behind that,it's like saying Xion and Vanitas's designs were lazy too just because they dumped the color black over Kairi and Sora's hair respectively and called it a new character, there was still reason behind it.

[deathrebirthsenshi 279]

1) I too was disappointed with the lack of hp with the bosses. I mean, you are the strongest keyblade wielders yet with the most abilities, but they are the weakest enemeis ever and yeah, shotlocks pretty much beat anything. Particularly prism rain with Aqua.

 

2) Didn't have thsi problem, just when i used teh start menu it would lag sometimes the first time, or when i would drive. Never at a critical moment or just from unversed.

 

3) I disagree there. Nobodies were a little more difficult because they were more sentient, but I liked the unversed. Most of them were similar to heartless, and I thought were just as difficult. They didn't get a boost towards teh end of the game like in KH1, but still.

 

4) you don't have to use them...lol it's nice to have powerful moves.

 

5) I disagree, they give some bonuses and have some good finishers...double CP from stitch was especially useful for me, so was double exp from Mickey. The D-links were mostly for fun too, (cause this is a game afterall).

 

6) I don't know about glitches. When I fought Xehanort, he was moving like a madman.

 

7) unversed in Destiny Islands would have been something probably everyone would have remembered, so they didn't occur there. I can see reasons for TAV not to just be wandering around there...it was supposed to be that they only visited that world once. Having no unversed there, there was no reason to return. Storywise, it makes more sense that they only went there once, rather than having the possibility of being seen again.

 

Unlike in KH2, Yen Sid was actually in his tower the entire game, and probably wasn't threatened by the unversed as much as he was the heartless and nobodies. The stairs thing was probably a trap just for that while he was gone; however, he'd want to leave the path open and clear for Terra, Aqua, Ven, and even Mickey, who he was training.

 

STORY

 

1) Eraqus is a light-whore, that's the entire point. To know too much abuot Kingdom Hearts or teh X-blade are forbidden; he just knew Ventus was going to be used in it, so he decided it was better to destroy him than let him be a part of Xehanort's plot. Ven actually comes to agree himself when he asks Aqua and Terra to put an end to him. He didn't pass Terra because, although Terra was holding back the darkness, just the fact that it appeared, without him calling to it, shows his heart lacks total control. Terra continues to fall into darkness throughout teh game due to Xehanort. And his first shotlock is Dark Shadows or something...lol. And in the end, well, what do you know? He loses control of the darkness and gets possessed by Xehanort.

 

2) Aqua didn't in any way cause Sora and Riku to fight. Sora gained teh ability to a keyblade anyway via Ven's heart. Sora and Riku fought because Riku became obsessed with power and seeing other worlds, and let himself fall into the darkness. Sora was fighting to bring him back, which he eventually did, and Riku is on the side of good again.

 

And yes, she saved Terranort. At the time, she was probably feeling guilty for being so mean and pushy to him the whole game, and also just wanted to help out her friend instinctually--she didn't want him to fall into darkness, which once and for all proves how Aqua really feels about her friends. No doubt she thought that she had defeated Terra's darkness and he would be okay, but it didn't turn out exactly like that...no one could have predicted the level of danger Xehanort has posed; so far, everyone has fallen for his main plans. Even if he wasn't saved from Aqua, having dark powers, he probably could have escaped easily enough anyway.

 

3) Ven is supposed to resemble Roxas; if you played the game at all, there are story reasons for this. Same with Vanitas looking like Sora. It's implied that Ventus' heart went with Roxas. They look the same because, yes, it creates controversy and makes fans excited to find out why. Ventus is obviously different in personality and such, though. And its all right to have one brand-new character different from any others, but if you're going ot make a game that explains something of the past, having two brand new characters that don't resemble anyone is pushing it. Ventus and Sora are connected; they show this by making Ven look like Roxas.

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Snake I got question again how did aqua like made the feud between Riku and sora I thought aqua said if your friends falls to the wrong path you have to come save him

 

she didn't choose Sora...therefore...Riku took the Kingdom Key easily because has chosen by Terra.....she didn't cause the fight directly...but her decision for them to avoid fighting made them fight in the end

 

+

 

about Terranort......I said she could've fell with him into the realm of Darkness and figure something out there instead of sending the very demon himself into the realm of light

 

just to make it clear to everyone....I've played and finished BBS completely...so my complaints aren't for nothing...but..I still love the game but it's one of my least favorite in the series

[Col.Random 3,683]

You do realize that if terra-nort would have ended up in the RoD he would easily have become powerful very quickly. I mean he would practically be surrounded by the darkness. Besides when Terra yelled" get out of my heart" and stabbed himself with the keyblade, obviously Aqua thought he had managed to regain control of his heart. I'm sure in kh3 she'll realize how wrong she was.(Besides it did work to some extent cause xehanort had lost his memory)

About the like whore.First, that's his personality. Basically Eraqus was, in a way, an extremist so obviously he would be a nut-job when it comes to light. If you watch the scene again you'll see that at the end he realizes it was wrong of him to do so.

The 7 lights and 13 darknesses was something that would make very little sense, if eraqus knew about it then i doubt he expected it to work because even Yen Sid didn't think Xehanort would have planned everything so perfectly. I mean I literally watched that part 5 times and even then i didn't understand it.

 

Your argument about Ven isn't very logical. He is supposed to look like Roxas, this is also supposed to make the fans go all: "wow! =o"

Aqua did not cause sora and riku to fight.

Thank you for your answer but if aqua did do any of these things would there still be the kingdom hearts game?

[Henne 150]

Aqua did not even know about the RoD. So she did not even know if there was something else than endless falling for them or even something that could kill them.

Plus, it was a hectic situation:

- falling into the strange darkness

- rescuing herself and/or Terra(nort)

I agree with the gameplay for the most part. Don't think I've encountered any glitches though, despite playing 3 versions of the game.

 

Now for the story.

 

1. Yes, Eraqus is a light whore, but Terra did in fact, use the darkness to his advantage, and it was implied that he won the match against Aqua. See, Aqua was gaining the upper hand against Terra, and Terra let the darkness inside him flourish, in order to get the upepr hand back. hence why Eraqus said "You musn't be afraid of losing." Terra had to learn to control his impulses, and if he were a true "Master" then he wouldn't have to learn anything. Basically he probably didn't know about the 13 Lights and 7 Darknesses.

 

As for him trying to kill Ventus, even if he did know that there was more than one way to forge the X-Blade (and he probably didn't) Eliminating Ventus would at least stall Master Xehanort's plans.

 

2. First of all, Aqua's logic in only giving the keyblade to one of the boys was sound. Also, even if Riku did get the Keyblade as well as Sora, his desire to see the outside world would have led him to opne his heart to dakness, and lose control of it, which would still take the Keyblade from him. Also, it's Maleficents fault primarily that Riku was turned against Sora in the first place. Not Aqua.

 

As for Aqua saving Xehanort, it is implied that he may have never had amnesia in the first place. So if he were left in the realm of Darkness, he'd probably have an easier time finding Kingdom Hearts, which could have been disastrous.

 

3. Eh, maybe it was a bit lazy. But I think it was meant to be a direct reference to Roxas.

[Caity 3,946]

mickey is a pretty good d-link. He gives exp boost.

 

Was going to say that too. I used him constantly when farming with Ventus. So much faster

[Caity 3,946]

Technically, if it wasn't for Master Xehanort plotting to make the x-blade and possessing Terra, she would have never had to sacrifice herself to save her friend (and consequently MX).

So is it not MX's fault really for trying to possess the power of the X-Blade?

I had a glitch at Neverland with Terra...one of the stickers,the one at marmaid lagoon has dissappeared :@...now I'll have to delete the save data and the game system of BBS and complete the game again just for one lousy sticker :@
