This can be explained away as III's Unreal Engine 4 graphical assets being hard to demake into the PlayStation 2 art style, and the development of both games being in tandem leading to a lack of music (as stated in interviews) but it's still a bit of a letdown to some. The only sections that are shorter are Chain of Memories, Days, Re:coded, and 0.2, all of which feature comparatively little original music on their own. Despite the game having a ton of original music and several new worlds, III is among the shortest sections of the game, with only seven songs, six of which are Memory Dives. Disappointing Last Level: Not the actual last level, but the last segment of World Tour, Kingdom Hearts III.It's also the only song in World Tour where you're not allowed to use items, so Potions can't save you in a pinch. Proud Mode especially so, as the game hammers you with never-before-seen patterns and mix-ups that can throw you for a loop. Difficulty Spike: The Final Boss fight against Master Xehanort, 'Dark Domination', stands out for being noticeably more difficult than the vast majority of the songs in the rest of the game.Even beyond the veil, Sora will never stop being there for the people he cares about the most. When things look bad, Kairi summons the Kingdom Key as the memory of Sora takes control of her body.Kairi has absolutely none of the memory of Master Xehanort's taunting and gives it her all against his phantom, using third tier magic and displaying enough prowess that he admits she's trained well, even if she doesn't poise a threat to him.

Complacent Gaming Syndrome: 'What Lies Beneath' (the Kingdom Hearts II Olympus Coliseum battle theme) is very frequently played because it has a lot of multi-notes and is very easy to get a Full Chain on, making it ideal for grinding 100000 enemies for the Enemy Buster achievement.

Seeing how Maleficent played a key role in Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure by brainwashing Terra into stealing Princess Aurora's heart and feeding lies to his friends about how he did it 100% willingly, it's immensely satisfying to pick 'Team BBS' for the boss fight against her and have all three gang up on her at once.

What must be done is both clear and immensely satisfying.

You can play as 'Team Days' in just about any stage, and around mid-game is a boss battle against Xemnas.

Meanwhile, other fans aren't too happy about the idea, seeing it is another example of how Kairi Can't Catch Up with the rest of the cast and suspect it as another excuse for Kairi to be Put on a Bus once again in favor of Sora and Riku.

Some fans aren't bothered by this because she is still a rookie Keyblade wielder who is obviously less experienced compared to Riku as she only recently started fighting as early as the climax of Kingdom Hearts III, still required Sora to rescue her from Xehanort in this game alone, and are excited to see her receive training from Aqua.

Broken Base: Kairi's decision to continue her training instead of traveling to Quadratum with Riku has divided many.There's also the fact that she declines to go to Quadratum due to her inexperience and decides to stay behind to train, with fans dreading another Kingdom Hearts III scenario where she suffers from severe Can't Catch Up and is almost permanently sidelined because of it. Audience-Alienating Ending: Some players were not particularly enthused about Kairi still being unable to hold her own in a fight and needing Sora to come to her aid yet again, although it's at least against one of the most powerful Keyblade wielders in existence with neither him nor Sora being technically 'real' at the moment which means it makes sense that only Sora can defeat him.
