KH's system lets you see the battle as it happened, not like waiting for some invisible meter to fill before you can attack.

How does it deal with Magic?

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Input commands from the in-game menu. Sadly, no magic combos, though they may pull that in BBS and Days.

The closest they came to Double Techs were the Partner Limits (like Eternal Session with Riku) in KH2 that Sora can do with not only Donald and Goofy, but also with the world's Resident Hero (assuming it has one).

So then you have to stop battle to pull up an invisible menu...?

[Acacia Sgt]

No, you have the menu in a corner as you battle. By pressing X you do the command.

Attack
Magic
Item
?

Like up above for the first KH. Magic and Item open sub-menus to select the corresponding one.

Kingdom Hearts had a very simple combat system, wasn't my favorite at all but I did like. I liked I liked FFX-2 combat the most I think. It was very fast paced for a tradition combat system, plus the class system was like a revamped version of FFIII but more useful classes.

I liked KH2's battle system with the Reaction Commands and everything.

KHI Battle System: Innovative and enterntaining, while remaining challenging.

KHII Battle System: Press X ten times, press Triangle, watch movie with flashy lights, Cure, Press Triangle/watch movie while pressing triangle a few times, press X again, win battle.

Not to mention it was so simplistic a kindergartner could've easily mastered it, as well as bearing so many useless add-ons (Drives/Summons) that you never use.

I guess what I liked about it was the real-time battles.

X-2's was a really awesome take on the ATB system. I loved it.

[Acacia Sgt]

I prefer ATB over CTB.

X-2 was the first RPG that used the ATB that I played. But I hated trying to get 100%.

Because its impossible without a full walkthrough?

[Acacia Sgt]

Not for that reason.

I once copied a walkthrough to Word, and shortened it.

From 100+ pages it ended up with less than 10.

I had no problems following it. Until I arrived to Dark Yojimno at 52%. And that's the farthest I got.

I'm only like 10 percent through my first playthrough and I know I already fucked myself over.

[Acacia Sgt]

Good thing for me I knew who to choose at the start of Chapter 2.

I really can't imagine my reaction of finishing the game, only to discover I ended up with 98% instead.
