I never really like fixed cameras.
There is a big difference in what you want in a title like Kingdom Hearts to something like Mass Effect
what I like about Mass Effect is the amount of detail in the game. I do also love the setting of that, and the fact that you could just play it as a 3rd person shooter. I would prefer it if it did not have so many loading scenes... Anyway, I do like the fact that you get the Mako (though they could improve the controls)
@ twesterm, in Star Ocean you can control it in the world map, but not for battle. Also, you have to control it with R1/L1
In Kingdom Hearts II, the main issue was that magic was not really required, and you should basically have to use it. You can get by it in Mass Effect by just having your squad doing that for you, and I do like the fact that in Kingdom Hearts you do not have to directly control your squad and they basically do the right thing for most of the time
