Kingdom Hearts 2 probably had the best battles, a mix of player-driven and cutscene-driven. The best of both worlds. You get the intensity and the player agency of the interactive sections whilst the well-timed reactions turned the fight into a cutscene for a short while. These cutscenes would generally be really well choreographed so you get to see what the player character can do. It's unfortunatley the best way to make an interactive fight feel like something out of a movie like the Matrix at the moment. VR should hopefully change things by suggesting a response to you and letting you do the rest from a special position, such as consciously aiming a sword to parry another sword whilst you're falling to the ground? Eh, the ultimate fantasy of an action game is an interactive and well-choreographed battle between the player-character and a boss character.

I agree for a lot of these tracks. I liked the synthetic violin over the real one for tracks like KH2’s overworld theme and The Thirteenth Struggle, but I blame some of that on nostalgia. The biggest problem about the remastered tracks is the bad equalizer. Sometimes, there are instruments in tracks that you were supposed to hear, but you can barely hear them anymore when remastered. An example is in A Fight to the Death where you’re supposed to hear the piano play a segment of Dearly Beloved, but it’s barely audible. Another example is the piano that was originally GOING TO TOWN at the beginning of Sinister Shadows is now blown off the radar by the violas/drums/cellos. I can still recognize the instruments but I get saddened about it because other friends and my spouse might not even realize and appreciate all of the detail of the music you’re supposed to hear and feel when their first playthrough is the remastered game.

There's so much more going on in the mid and bass levels in this new version. I think because the older version didn't have so much going on in those ranges, it was more appropriate for the snare to be louder and more pronounced. In this version, the lower register carries everything. It's more balanced IMO.
