When you start making stronger magic, Aqua becomes... comically explosive. Even with the game installed, there is some lag, haha. Anyway, once you get bigger badder spells, Aqua gets MUCH easier.
Well, I don't mean lag as in the game slows down (aka Ventus' Peter Pan D-Link finisher Sword Bill). More like, she has a second or two hesitation after a combo that makes you extremely vulnerable. That's why I can't wait to get a second Cartwheel and Fire/Fira Command to make Fire Cartwheel. Right now, I'm Command Boarding my carp off for Cure, because, as my friend told me, "She's squishy."

They're over complicating the story line IMO, and I'd just love to see what ACTUALLY happens NEXT, not in the PAST. Can't rush perfection though, hah. I'm sure they've been working on it - it would be very much unlike them to not do so. Final Fantasy XIII took a few years to release.
However they're trying to milk to series for what it's worth, which is understandable for a company. They know once they release KH3 it will leave no room for anymore progression in the story, or anymore games. (given that they don't leave it at a cliffhanger for something like KH4.
Actually, KH3 is the last of the Xehanort Trilogy, but probably not the end of Kingdom Hearts. Birth By Sleep doesn't count among that trilogy because it SET the Trilogy.

358/2 or whatever was horrendous choppy gameplay focused around a dumb character, and Re: Coded was insipid, but otherwise the KH series is golden.
If you REALLY want the full story...go to Wikipedia AND YouTube. You don't really have to play the games, but the spinoffs are technically integral to have the deepest understanding for the game. Nomura made a really expansive timeline on the Kingdom Hearts universe. Even Coded had a meaning that SOMEWHAT sets something for the future game(s), such as
confirming a way to bring back the lost Keyblade wielders and those that revolves around Sora that were lost. The Secret movies at the complete end of Birth By Sleep are added evidence.
The only reason why everyone hates Re:Coded is because it's the same Kingdom Hearts, but just an altered plot. It kinda sucks. But the animation is at least better than 358/2 Days...
I personally liked the story of 358/2 Days. KH2 didn't delve too much on Roxas, who's partially as important as Sora...actually, I take that back. He's important, but not as important as Sora.
