** Seeing how Maleficent played a key role in Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure 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 [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep "Team BBS"]] for the boss fight against her and have all three gang up on her at once.

** Seeing how Maleficent played a key role in Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure 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 [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep "Team BBS"]] for the boss fight against her and have all three gang up on her at once. The game even seems to encourage this, having her boss fight occur during the ''BBS'' section of World Tour and being done to that game's version of "The Encounter."



* ThatOneAchievement: One of the in-game Feats is listed as "If you collect a lot of Rhythm Points..." before being unlocked. How many is "a lot"? '''1,000,000'''. To put that in perspective, under the best of circumstances, each song played may give up to a few hundred Rhythm Points. This ultimately amounts to thousands of songs that will have to be played and hundreds of hours spent in-game just to hit that threshold, at which point all the other Feats will likely have already been accomplished long ago. Fortunately, it is not one of the Feats that correspond to a [=PlayStation=] Trophy or Xbox Achievement.

** The "If you fill up all the Excellent Bars..." Feat is arguably more frustrating. In order to unlock it, all the sections of every song must have had all the notes hit in that section with a rating of Excellent or higher on all three modes. While this is easy enough to achieve on the Beginner and Standard modes, once you hit Proud mode, particularly the Level 14 and 15 songs, some sections become so filled up with notes/enemies (i.e. the end of "Fate of the Unknown" or the giant Heartless horde near the beginning of the Field Track version of "Dark Domination") that it's nearly impossible to get a Full Chain on them, much less get all Excellent ratings on them. If the aforementioned 1,000,000 Rhythm Point achievement isn't the last Feat accomplished in the game, it's because you're still struggling to make it through this one. Fortunately, you don't have to have an All Excellent rating for a song to accomplish this Feat, so you can afford to make mistakes on sections you previously filled up the Excellent Bars of as long as you manage to get Excellent ratings on the sections you previously failed to.

* DisappointingLastLevel: Not the actual last level, but the last segment of World Tour, ''Kingdom Hearts III''. 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. 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. This can be explained away as ''III''[='=]s Unreal Engine 4 graphical assets being hard to demake into the Platform/PlayStation2 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 hooded figure featured in the trailers garnered a lot of attention. The two biggest theories surrounding them were that they were the Master of Masters, helped by the teasing shot of the figure reaching up to lower their hood. Or they were Master Xehanort, this conclusion was fueled by Kairi mentioning how the figure was always altering her fate, which nicely describes the trouble the Xehanort incarnations caused her and Sora. [[spoiler:The figure was ultimately revealed to be a sort of GhostMemory of Master Xehanort.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Melody of Memory'' is more or less the ''Kingdom Hearts'' version of ''Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy'', as the games are both RPGElements {{Rhythm Game}}s that share more than a few gameplay mechanics between them.

** Fans made the prediction of Sora being sent to another dimension completely outside of Kingdom Hearts' reality for abusing the power of waking. This game confirms this by revealing that Sora was sent to [[spoiler: the realm of unreality, a universe completely outside of the realm of light, darkness and inbetween, which is where Yozora originated from.]]
** Many correctly guessed that the hooded figure featured in the trailer would be either [[spoiler:Master Xehanort or one of his incarnations.]]
