I kind of agree with you about flowmotion. As much as I loved it, I think it kinda broke the game at some points. (SPOILER)I mean, I totally owned Ansem as Riku, simply because I would bounce off of walls to dodge his attacks But there is one huge advantage to flowmotion - the exploration. I think 3D is the first KH game to have such huge worlds. And it was really satisfying to get into every nook and cranny.
