See, this is why I think Square needs to translate Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix. Not only does Critical Mode provide the decent challenge that this game lacked, but it also gave us some incredibly difficult bosses like Terra or the Organization XIII Data Matches. As for Sephiroth himself...remember, there was a time when people thought of him as being incredibly difficult to beat at all, let alone on lower levels. The thing is that people have analyzed his fighting style so much that memorizing his pattern is now an incredibly simple task simply because of how many videos there are out on the internet showing exactly how to beat him. Because, really, once you get the timing right on his attacks, defeating him is just a matter of going through the motions.
Yeah, VoN has a point. Not everyone has memorized all of Sora's abilities and what level he learns them at, not to mention how difficult it would be for the average gamer to effectively use items. Magic probably wouldn't be very difficult to grasp, though, considering we at least know when and where we get each spell. Through a bit of trial and error, you could probably get your Shortcuts straightened out pretty easily. Still, the fact remains, Sora has a lot of abilities and items available to him that would make playing either Final Mix pretty difficult for a casual gamer. That being said, I'm pretty sure katakana is supposed to be very easy to learn, so I might just learn the characters and then import it.
