How come there aren't any other ARPGs with gameplay as good as Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix?

i liek donald duck he is my favorite

Kingdom Hearts 1 is my favorite by far. I liked the way magic worked a lot more, with you having to build up your magic by landing physical attacks. Party member AI also seemed a lot better and blocking attacks with guard seemed way more important. Plus I liked the platforming and puzzle solving that later games don't have. Really the only addition I like in KH II is reaction commands.

good ARPGs are hard to make, and Dark Souls changed what people consider to fit that mold, so most devs no longer try.

Dark Souls is awful though.

>KH3 Remind(has better data bosses too btw)
>NEO TWEWY
>Stranger of Paradise
>Nioh 1 and 2

>Remind(has better data bosses too
Actual retardation.

It's a fact
3's data fights are all straight duels without horrible gimmicks like Zexion or Vexen had

>It's a fact
You're retarded and wrong.

>no boss variety, with every boss consisting of teleport spam (>-Melee->Teleport->Melee->Teleport, etc) making it a game of Simon Says than anything else
>no gimmicks, no additional objectives, just hit the boss til they die shit
>positioning and spacing is irrelevant thanks to Air Step, with ground and air being the same exact shit (never mind the general mechanics of KH3 being terrible)
>too restrictive in how you can approach them (constant random hyper-armor, and dumb downed Revenge Value system for babbies so combo optimization and picking which offensive tools to use no longer matters )
>DMs last way too long and kill the pacing of fights (taking control of the flow of the fight away from the player when the whole point of KH2 is freedom)
>bosses AI with little to no variation (bosses in 3 literally are hard coded to run down a fucking unbreakable list of attacks in rotation instead of randomly picking from a pool of attacks each phase like KH1/2 and other action games to keep the action reactive/interesting
>revenge counters were gutted, turning a unique and interesting system into the boring auto-counters of regular action games

> Zexion or Vexen
Those were great, are you retarded?

>wordswordswords
Oh no, are you that KH2 autist that posts copypastas? I'm sorry for your autism

Because we all remember what fighting Demyx was like.
Of all them fuckers, I hate Demyx the most. I do hope that whomever designed him got fired
That being said, I'm perfectly sure Proud Mode KH3 Re-Mind bosses would 100% filter every soulsfag in existence

So you're saying you don't understand good boss design?

Because god doesn’t exist and we are in hell

Just use wisdom form and spam fire

i never said it was good, i said that's what devs think now when they hear "action rpg"

>would 100% filter every soulsfag in existence
To be fair, anything would.

i don't care for tryhard boss dueling fights, but i did love drive forms. great game feel to activate one in a dire situation.

I'm saying you're mentally ill and not worth engaging with

>I'm saying
is that you're wrong and promoting a bad DLC with shitty hyper-armor spam, shitty use of Revenge Values, shitty melee, and shitty Simon-Says tier garbage.
