KH Re:Com R/R - Part 5: Lexaeus and Zexion, the only fully unique encounters in Riku's entire story
I did Lexaeus super restricted just because why not, might as well do at least one clean and restricted fight in this game and Lexaeus has long been my favorite org member ever since I was a kid just because I love the aesthetic of your element being earth/rock just because you're so freaking buff that when you slam your weapon into the ground it shakes the ground and blasts rocks everywhere and not because you actually know shit about geomancy. That's also part of why I like Terra despite him being the worst character to play as and why I enjoy rockbreaker command style in bbs even though it objectively sucks compared to bladecharge.
Also Zexion is lowkey a kinda trash ass fight. You can't dodge his attacks at all, you must just cardbreak him and if you fail to card break him enough times, he'll enter his second phase which is batshit ridiculous. So basically, beating him relatively cleanly boils down to just repeatedly cardbreaking him and denying him his second phase outright and if you can do that the fight is piss easy. The only hard part is he has 9s in his deck and you don't, so you gotta save your 0s for his 9s. But then if he steals you 0s you just get snowballed since you can't break his 9s anymore. It's a fight that feels scary, but is ultimately really simple just poorly designed and gimmicky because he snowballs you hard once you start making mistakes. I did let him go phase 2 at the end because I lost my rhythm and screwed up and got snowballed, but he was low enough on HP at that point that it didn't matter by then.
Also yeah I don't consider ansem in this game a trule unique encounter, his model and half his moveset are ripped from KH1, even his sleights are just his DMs/Attacks from KH1. Sure his AI is unique and fighting him with cards makes it play different and some of the animations are tweaked, literally 90% of his fight is recycled from KH1 so it's pretty hard to call it unique. Unique to Riku's story in this game maybe. But not unique. We aren't lining up to call the imps in elden ring unique enemies when they use the moveset of DS3 thralls.
