Well I'll be damned, Linkara was right, there really is a Wasserman Factor. Just listening to "5-4-1" by the man made my fights ten times more epic. Also, Apparently the heartless are dropping yellow and blue orbs now called "Munny".
HOW CREATIVE!
Say what you will about normal games that use Gold or or Gold derivatives, at least they had a rhyme or reason to this, calling something munny is probably even more creatively bankrupt.
So yeah, I also got a new ability called scan so I can see the health of my enemies.

ARBLGE FARGLE BLARGLE!
Way to spit in the face of EVERY JRPG KNOW TO MAN! This is how you're gonna play it, game? Make up your mind, either you see it or you don't, don't make a whole "ability" out of it, that's totally useless! I mean why would I waste valuable space with something that should be automatic? That's why I don't equip Lucca with the Sightoscope in Chrono Trigger, I could be using that spot to actually enhance her abilities. I mean this is entirely pointless. Why equip some useless ability to see your enemy's health when I could be using that slot to say, have the ability to fly, or have the ability to transform into a reasonably intelligent Mickey Mouse, or have the ability to have all this BS absorbed into my brain so I don't have to actually play this game?
Ugh, I'm going to the hotel, there's usually always something important in a hotel in JRPGs....
DAMMIT GAME! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ENTERING THE HOTEL MEANS I MISS GOOFY AND DONALD!?? WHAT KIND OF SICK COINCIDENCE IS THAT? You think I like having this loser with me all the time? I want someone interesting around! Or at least to play the game with a character whose personality is more inline with say Chocolove or Usopp or Rock Lee or maybe even the The twins. I'd pay money to play this game with a protagonist whose personality was that of Hikaru and Kaoru Suoh, that would actually be entertaining. It would at least be someone with as much character as the Disney characters I'll be surrounding myself with.
So apparently entering the hotel was pointless, none of the doors open, and the only thing of note is that you can examine the pictures and the creepy manager that won't show their face likes paintings. I'm outta here.
So I fight more heartless and they are becoming easier to beat and I find a postcard on the awning to a boots and shoes store of all places. Odd....
So I decide to go somewhere else and as I enter the Dalmatian House-BULLSPIT! I MISS DONALD AND GOOFY AGAIN! WHAT KIND OF SICK GAME IS THIS!?
Okay I enter the Dalmatian house and find out the Dalmatian parents are bad parents, how do you lose 99 puppies? Seriously, you don't just lose 99 puppies, you abandon 99 puppies because they were too much work and stress and now you can finally relax and fornicate all night and sleep on the beach all day because now you don't have to deal with 99 YAPPING PUPPIES.
I go through the house and find nothing of interest only to end up in a back alleyway where, surprise, the heartless are back only they're using this vantage point to try to gangrape Sora. Luckily the giant key works great as a pepper spray. I jump around, find two more treasure chests and since this appears to be the back of the Hotel, I can't get in, so I go through the door labeled Second District. Maybe I'll be lucky and miss Donald and goofy AGAIN.
Believe it or not, occupying scan is kind of useful in this game. Just saying.
