I hate(d) FFXIII's camera. Close to ruined the game for me.

I hate going back to older (ps2 and older) games that used the shoulder buttons to move the camera. I've gotten spoiled to analog stick camera manipulation.

The KH camera was one of the worst...ever. Not just among cameras, it was the worst thing ever made. Take the worst experience you've ever had, and KH's camera was worst than that. You licked Shlupquack's toes while Loony Bob dingled his dangle (or dangled his dingle) in the corner and Del Murder did play-by-play in his best Italian mobster voice? Yes worse than that. You had a dream that you couldn't stop yourself from masturbating in front of your class instead of giving the big presentation that's 60% of your grade because you didn't do it so you slap yourself but then you realize that you really are awake and you probably should have worked on the presentation instead of going to that party with Barry "the lush" Anderson and drinking the alcohol equivalent of Bath Salts? Yeah, worse than that. Really, I'm never all that pleased with any of the cameras in SE games in general. With the exception of FFXI, which hardly counts. Maybe I'm forgetting something though. Oh I did grow fond of the crunchy screech sound of Final Fantasy Tactic's camera (though other than that, it too sucked).

Am I just imagining things or do Japanese games' cameras tend to be more annoying than western based games' cameras? I don't want to generalize, but that's my experience. It could just be the companies I tend to follow.
