I finally had the time to sit down and finish it yesterday and I like need to talk to someone about things in it.

I’ve beaten the game. I haven’t gone back to do any of the extra battles, but I at least got the secret ending.
I’ve spoiled myself on all the story, so I can talk
I did everything except all the gummi ship stuff.
Ok so, some thoughts at random:
- I LOVED, loved, loved, loved, the way in which they included the winners of the Union X contest. I thought they would just get their names in the credits, but wow. Even though my name wasn't there I like to think one of the many keyblades was that of my UX character.
- Sad Mandy Moore didn't voice Rapunzel. That world could've so done with At Last I See the Light during the lanterns scene.
- I think I enjoyed Monstropolis the least of all the worlds. Some of the worlds clearly had way more time put into them than others.
- Everything from the Anti-Aqua fight onward had me hooked, it felt like the culmination of so much.
- Attraction Flow is OP.
- Sad at how sparse the endgame content is.
- Kinda sad that the black box etc. storyline from Back Cover X is left unresolved - it's cool that it sets up the next part of the franchise, but at the same time I would've liked at least some more info about it all.
- The secret ending though... O M G. My mind was blown, and then pieces of my mind were blown again. Nomura you absolute sly fox.
Honestly, I think Final Mix has caused people to forget how barren KH2’s post-game was back in the day.
I would have honestly liked something more like the Coliseum again. Even though the final fantasy characters don’t really matter to the story, that could have been a fun way to incorporate them again as well as some of the other bosses we’ve seen throughout the series. Otherwise I’m not too bothered by post game stuff. I feel like there was mostly enough to do in the game. I enjoyed the lucky emblems.
I'll spoiler tag this just in case, though i suspect anyone reading beyond the first post in this thread is expecting spoilers.
(SPOILER)- Union X stuff was a nice nod to both the game itself and the community of the game.
- Sora's not in "our" world, he's in TWEWY's Shibuya (indicated by the 104 on the building), Riku is in Verum Rex world. Shibuya is Tokyo, but if you want to count that as "our world" then technically we've already been in our world, specifically the Caribbean
- I have lost all hope for the joke of a plot device called Kairi
- While it's a pity there's a lack of end-game content, let's not forget KH2 only had Sephiroth before Final Mix
- mysterious girl in Ansem's basement that is the main subject of most secret reports (as well as Lea/Isa's backstory) is Ava or Skuld, my bet's still on Ava because she's the only OG foreteller that's missing. Secret reports overall I found a lot more interesting than most of the secret reports in previous games.
- Looking forward to what Nomura has in store for the foretellers. The easy prediction is for them to be villains in the master plan to bring back the Master of Masters but i can see some of them defecting.
- Also hoping Lauriam (Marluxia), Elrena (Larxene), Luxord's human form and Demyx (I'm not sure if he's human or a nobody right now) return. All four have been confirmed as keyblade wielders in their human lives now, and at least two of them have unfinished business.
