Editing Reaction Command

{{game|FM1|REC|KH2|FM2|BBS|FMB}}

{{cleanup|1=reorganize alphabetically for enemies and events; rewrite enemy reaction commands to clarify the ''official'' name of the attack they respond to; many of the English names are incorrect, and need to be checked; use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lLxrbx970w for nihongo}}

'''Reaction Commands''' are a feature introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', intended to extend the level of combat. By pressing {{button|t}} in specific contexts, the player character will perform a specific action indicated by the title of the command. These reactions are generally combat maneuvers used to gain the upper hand against enemies, though they are also used for more mundane actions such as talking to other characters and opening chests. Occasionally, some Reaction Commands must be completed in order to end a battle. Only a select few Reaction Commands require the player to press {{button|t}} the moment it appears; in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', one can press {{button|t}} until the command is initiated, suffering no penalty if {{button|t}} is not pressed at the right moment. Only three Reaction Commands in the entirety of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' penalize such an action. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', pressing {{button|t}} too early during the execution of a Sleight prevents the attack from being completed.

'''''Note''''': ''Reaction commands only appear within the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', and overlap with the party member command button.
