A little Kingdom Hearts humor. I'm not sure why everyone hates on the action commands or "quick-time" events. This doesn't necessarily limit to Kingdom Hearts, but to other games as well. The new Spider-Man game is going to have the same formula and complaints were being made. 

I think "quick-time" events are rewarding and do keep one focused on the combat or "on their toes." Not everything can be coded or executed normally.

Depends what else the game has to offer, Yakuza has quick time events, and they aren't too annoying because they only make up a 1/6th of the combat system, where as game like Ryse or Ninja Blade based the entire fighting system around it and made the games crap. 

KH2's battle system wasnt that bad, it added a bit of variety to what was too simple and barebones in 1, but take the triangle prompts away and the combat suddenly gets a lot less cool.
