Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind DLC Review - The Final Verdict
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- So with all that’s been added, does Re:Mind make Kingdom Hearts 3 a better game? Does it shift it closer towards the lofty heights of the first two games? Well, yes and no. For many players, this pack will only offer a lopsided four-hour story mode. And while it may have cool ideas from time to time, this story DLC isn’t the amazing exclamation point that Kingdom Hearts 3 really could have used at its end.
But for players who are looking to dive into the mechanics of this game and really buckle down against some of the toughest fights that the series has seen yet, this DLC more than delivers. While the content on offer is certainly divisive, the amount of replayability offered by the Black Codes, paired with the grueling difficulty of the Limit Cut bosses, will be deeply satisfying for a very select group of fans, and will keep them playing until the next entry in the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

Very accurate review. This dlc is mainly for 2 groups of people.
1) day 1 kingdom hearts hyper fans that eat up Kh storylines
2) dark souls/bloodborne/sekiro-esque lovers who like being fucked to death by rough bosses.
I fall under both categories.
Lol 😅
I'm under 1
I fall under both, and still find this DLC a major disappointment and rip-off.
@@PhilipMller I agree but the amount of time I have spent on the the Round Table and Yazora have justified the price. I'll take the hippocratic route concerning this
@@PhilipMller I think if you are only interested in the remind scenario just skip the DLC and watch those scenes on youtube, but if you want a serious combat challenge and more replay value for kh3 overall the dlc is definitely worth $30. The premium menu is the most underrated part of DLC because it offers so much customization to the difficulty. You can make any difficulty as hard or as easy as want for a playthrough which is a genius idea.
The data battles and secret episode are some of the best-designed bosses they are challenging regardless of the difficulty and cannot be cheezed which is a criticism I have of the kh2fm additional bosses. You can exploit combat to make them relatively easy. Just summon stitch or use negative combo exploit and there's very little challenge
You can't spoil kingdom hearts because through it all I'm still confused 😂😂😂
@Christian Longo Lol, implying that the story isn't an incoherent mess.
I don't read replies what don’t you get tell us
@@MakoHazard as long as you have all the information given, most of the story isn't that hard to understand.
@@ZenonXZ I think he was just talking about how messy the story is paced and told in the series especially that it expands in different console platforms. Not to mention, Miura likes to foreshadow new stories to be told that make no sense at first until the new game is released.
It's a unique way of telling your story but it can be quite jarring when some of the questions of older stories, instead of answering properly, are answered in more questions.
Lol you right
$15 would have been fine
i paid sixty-four bucks for this game. I still have my receipt. what a rip, I'd rather wait for the dlc to get cheap.
Kingdom Hearts 3 Remind? More like Kingdom Hearts Replay the ending of the game again with a few added scenes.
For real! Rip off just added in post game content that used to be free
Seriously. Is it me or was the trailer super misleading?
@Christian Longo You're the fool defending this garbage. Typical KH weeb.
The trailer wasn't misleading at all. They promised that we would revisit the final battle while seeing what happened meanwhile with Sora trying to save Kairi, and secret bosses. And boy, they were good.
@@soul6733 Regardless, 30$ for this is insulting.
Imagine paying $30 to experience something that should’ve already been there.
Vondale F lmao fanboys hurt af rn 🤣
it pretty much just kh3 final mix which im more than ok with. loving the game but my only problem is no cloud or one winged angel fight but besides that its perfect
@@whatsittooya303 uh? ur an idiot lol
daniel gomes hurt fanboy detected 🤣
@@whatsittooya303 lmfao yikes imagine being this pathetic kid
I absolutely loved remind. The second half of the remind scenario, the data bosses, and the secret bosses are exactly what KH3 needed. If only it was there at launch
Biggest takeaway - This is not worth $30. Maybe half that amount. Maybe even $20, but this is just gouging the player base.
Exactly! And people are on here acting like this was a better sense of value than paying $50-60 for a Final Mix. A FULL GAME. 😂😂😂
I payed $60 just to fight lingering will
@@trevor4533 right after paying 50 60 for the base game...This was just as much added content certainly way more the final mix 1....The only difference this content all comes at once instead of throughout the main game...
@@jamrodgers121 Man the fanboy damage control shills are out in full force 😂😂😂
@@trevor4533 😂😂😂😂thats hilarious that you and the others dont gind this dlc fun...Oh well your ignorance will be your loss lol
I would have given it a 5. Thirty bucks feels like a ripoff now that I've played it. Half the cost of the entire game was not worth it.
It should've been at most $20.
StaticShock42 not rly alone data Bosses are worth 13*0,99=12,87$
I'd say about $15 is where it should have been a dollar per data boss plus like $2 for the short story expansion to try new characters and play styles
Lloyd Donald You guys have all no idea how game developeing work or?
@@xkey_blade9558 lol what the hell are you complaining about I said it should only be $2 more than what you said. Please hit me with your exact algorithm of how games are priced so I can know why you have such a problem with a $2 discrepancy to call me out rofl
From what I'm seeing the whole DLC just feels incredibly forced to desperately explain the plot holes in the finale, and for Nomura to shove in his Versus 13 ideas.
Things don't really feel forced. Things are explained very nicely and the fights are still fun. Unless, of course, you know of a better way this could have been handled.
@@ZenonXZ Umm proper writing and story telling? They literally have to make Sora time travel and retcon some scenes to have it make sense.
@@christianlopez707 what was retconed? I didn't catch anything like that. Also, it's very typical of a Kingdom Hearts title to have introduced story that seems confusing until later titles.
@@FIGHTER8max They literally had to update cutscenes, also confusing until other titles? No, what it does is that plays up the mystery to keep people invested but when it's time to pay off it either forgets, or is pretty lackluster. Simply put Nomura just likes to come up with cool concepts and uses story to simply connect one cool thing to another cool thing. No matter complicated or nonsensical it has to be.
@@christianlopez707 idk about that. When looking back on Kh1, the threat feels so much smaller and as we progressed through the series, we discovered a whole universe of characters and stories that slowly evolve. I've noticed most of the die hard fans love making up theories. It's basically the foundation of the conversations to take all the questions and come up with the answers themselves. Most of the time, some people are right and a lot of people wrong. I like it. Call me crazy, but after that secret boss, I look forward to the future of the series. Less Disney involvement because of how badly they fucked this game.
Kingdom hearts 3 was missing exploration of original worlds. They could have really went out with a bang with this game, giving an opportunity to explore destiny islands even or have more fun at twilight town.
Yeah feels really odd they add more exploration to Olympus but then the only other returning world is Pirates of the Carribean... I really was looking forward to a modern gen Halloween Town but nope.. Should have included all the old world's on a larger scale like they did with Hercules.
@@aslushymachine I think they shouldn't put all the old world's from the past Kingdom Hearts games should be put in.For me I would want only Halloween Town and have it be a re-telling of the oogies revenge video game.
This whole series has been a giant dlc.
What? Are you out of your mind??
Square enix expects us to buy all of their shitty ds games just so we can understand the convoluted story.
I feel like KH III Let their fans down.
People arent dissapointed, but they're not really satisfied
I was greatly disappointed with KH3. I loved Kingdom Hearts growing up, but this game killed my love for it. The story was pretty simple in the first game and it started getting out of hand in the sequel, but by the end of this game I was left with a hollow feeling. It just got too ridiculous. I understand the spin off games have a lot of story that could explain things further, but the simplicity and wonderment has been lost, imo. Also, the lack of revisiting characters and worlds from previous games was a big bummer. 💔
@@_SomeGuyOnline Why should we revisit worlds? In KH2 those were all just padding minus Beast Castle, Twilight Town and Hollow Bastion. In KH3 the worlds are so big, there is no need to.
@@soul6733 we should revisit worlds since we haven't been there in a long time. I'm speaking in terms of real world time. Not seeing old friends and places and instead being stuck with new Disney and Pixar worlds felt super lack luster. I want the nostalgia of old school Disney stuff and I enjoyed that in the first game. KH3 ironically felt heartless by the end and I almost wish we had been left without this new game so that i could live in ignorance of what could have been. Rant over. 🙈
@@_SomeGuyOnline it sounds like you hate kh3 because you love kh2.
@@_SomeGuyOnline it makes no sense to revisit worlds from past games. Imagine revisiting Agrabah like bro its literally nothing else to do there we already defeated Jafar. It's a reason why Olympus is back. But other than that I agree KH3 was lowkey disappointing makes me not care about Kingdom Hearts anymore moving forward.
As a die hard KH fan, I honestly really enjoyed this dlc, but would not recommend it to anyone at it's current price, wait for that to drop. But otherwise I liked the new scenes and the bosses were awesome, and after the secret episode, I'm super excited to see what happens next, I'm on this ridiculous train for life, as stupid as it gets, it's one of a kind... Also incredible music.
My feelings exactly. I can't wait for that Verum Rex game!
darkSYNced agreed I enjoyed it for what it is but I expected more and it's not worth 30 bucks. Would recommended it to anyone who can pick it up for 10-20 bucks
And the secret endings was such a massive dissapointment!!
@@twilight187neonice9 I disagree, I loved the secret endings personally, they're up there with KH1 and 2 secret endings.
😑just wish they were 3 minutes longer and made sense. They make absolutely no sense atall. I know there nit supposed 2 but wow so dumb movie
At the Secret Episode now-which is not actually an episode (like BBS’s Secret Ep), just a boss lol
I enjoyed Re Mind a lot, but having seen all it has to offer, I do not think the content justifies $30. I do, however, think the $10 orchestra video is a great deal and I can’t believe they are refusing to sell it individually.
My biggest frustration is really with the 1.09 patch. Aside from the 2 keyblades and 6 new abilities-which vastly improve the gameplay-the main game has not been touched. Some skybox and lighting tweaks. And a nice new Shimomura arrangement of “Destati” which plays during a cutscene (and cruelly teases us that Yoko might actually have gone back and composed true KH-style final boss music).
It’s clear-and understandable-that Nomura chose to just admit defeat and throw his hands up rather than spend unnecessary effort expanding the main scenario whose big story moments we’d already experienced. I guess a Colosseum, Twilight Town or Radiant Garden wouldn’t have served any purpose when we’d just be retreading the same ground. But it was wrong of them to refer to it as a “main story update”-it is not.
So he uses Re Mind’s story to provide the Keyblade War and final boss he obviously originally intended. Even though it’s presented as Sora time-traveling post-game again, there is nothing (except Kairi) that could not have been part of the “main story update.”
The Limitcut bosses are excellent, but will only appeal to the pain-loving niche of KH’s player base. The Secret Boss (again, not an “episode”) is locked behind them. So if players aren’t beating all 13 data fights, all they get is the 4-5 hour story, most of which is a 1:1 rehash of the main scenario.
Loved it, will replay it, but wait for a price drop or physical “KH3 Royal” release.
Someone needs to remind me why I payed 30 dollars for this.
Were you a fan of the story of all the inbetween games...especially DDD? If not idk why you paid for it...Oh and if you were looking for a change to the storyline again idk why you paid for it....The story was always primatily to cover point A and point B...litterally only meant to give clearity to how Sora got to Kairi and why he disappeared...Plus of course playing as other characters and the massive increase in boss fights and super difficult ones at that...Oh and the premium menu...
@@jamrodgers121 No, explain to me how they literally clickbaited the final fantasy characters on the trailer when all they did was literally talk for one cutscene. I didn't think it was gonna be a complete rehash of the same conclusion we already saw. My mouth literally dropped when I realized the last part of the DLC was when they introduced the data fights at the end. I thought there'd be so much more included after Sora went away, but I was wrong it seem. Nomura and the team knew what they were doing when they trailer baited this overpriced DLC. And don't get me wrong, I'm a huge KH fanboy, but I'll call out bullshit when I see it.
Simply put, they tricked you. They fooled everyone, and only the delusional fans are the ones still thinking this was great. Luckily for me KH3 killed my fandom so i watched the DLC content on youtube. sorry that happened to you buddy
@@akumaisreal2090 I appreciate the sympathy bro, I've learned my lesson.
@@dijonpsalm6938 well if you paid for ff characters that would be a pretty bad reason to buy it...Why would anyone think you would be Riku for what did you want 3 hours of game play in the looking for Sora part? Even rhough we saw in the initial secret ending Sora was in Shebuya like world so clearly there wasnt gonna be much to that...Again you are another one that thought there was gonna be more then promised....
I'll wait until this goes on sale, I'm not spending $30 on this
It wasn't worth the $30 I'll admit. Not enough content for a price tag that's worth half of a game.
It’s 30$ worth
Final Mix games back in the day cost 60$ and it’s the same content of a final mix.
I mean all in all are games to cheap this days same price like in 2006 I mean everything cost more or games cost the same?
And let’s not forget you need way longer then back in the day for games and they cost way more to develop.
Don’t know way everyone cry by so many games that should be in the base game !!!!
It’s the the own fault of the gamers because they don’t want more pay for games.
@@xkey_blade9558 you made no sense. If you really think this was worth 30 dollars then you're sheep, simple as that. There's literally only a hour and a half of new literal gameplay, not including the data bosses. With bosses/cutscenes about 5 hours....We got ripped off simple as that. It's too steep a price.
@@xkey_blade9558 "Final Mix games back in the day cost 60$". That's true tho.....but you're forgetting the keywords you used on this statement: "back in the day". Yes, Final Mix games cost 60$; a full-game price. But back in the day, DLC wasn't a thing so they have no choice but to reprint the whole game along with the DLC in a disk. In this day and era, DLC is a thing now. This DLC costs 30$; half of a full-game price. Now is the added content to the main story plus the Limit Cut Episode (which is just FF characters, Data bosses, some small addition to the story and a secret boss) is equivalent to half of a full game? Let's say this DLC is a "game". If you buy this "game" for 30$, are people going to be satisfied with these contents inside this "game"?
Dijon Psalm I needed for the bosses 20hours don’t know how you want beat them in 2hbobly when you are so good you can do it lol .
Inhaber need for Remind 3hours
This DLC was totally underwhelming 3.5-4hr playtime with 2hr 13 minutes of that being cinematic scenes. That means the actual playable story is only an hour to an hour and a half long for $30. That's almost less playtime than Auqua's fragmentory passage which was free with KH2.8.
Lloyd Donald I'm a little conflicted because I really enjoyed the data fights on critical (especially Xemnas) but overall there is just not enough content to justify the price. There should have been another episode, maybe riku in hollow bastion.
@@BennyFromTheTops Yeah but that would mean putting actual effort.
Did you just say that Aqua's fragmentory passaged was FREE with 2.8? That's hilarious because 0.2 was literally the reason 2.8 costed a full $60 upon release as opposed to the other ps3 hd rereleases being $40. So realistically 0.2 costed $20. Eh I think Remind should have also been $20 or $25 but hey SE is greedy and probably the ones who chose that price. They did show almost everything the DLC had to offer in the trailers anyways, just like the base game
@@christianlopez707 I think a lot of effort was put into it. The data battles have new incredible music and the bosses themselves are well designed, Mickey's final stand was pretty epic as well as the Guardians vs. Clones. As for Scala, it's a pretty wide open area with enemies fit for grinding. On top of that, we get to play as four different characters, two of which weren't originally playable. A lot of effort was done. Give some credit at least.
@@FIGHTER8max its honestly a little hard given how they re-used so many assets, and from what I've heard a good chunk of the DLC is just cutscenes. It also feels like they could have added this into the main game but they where either rushed or Nomura just didn't think about any of it when making the game. I'm sorry but it really feels like they just like to play up the mystery with some cool moments here and there without telling a proper story.
I think this is one of those things where you were either gonna buy the DLC no matter what or you just weren't gonna buy it at all. I don't think this review is gonna sway you either way.
Mr. Creasy so true I bought it no thought about it. I’ve played them all got the collectors edition. But unless you truly love super bosses. Not worth it. Not much new content
I wish we could swap with the new playable characters during the main story using the pass. That would've tipped the scales completely for me.
daniel bellick or just have them all in general in free roam to different or old/new worlds with changeable outfits and unique dialogue would’ve been worth $30 also being able to switch party members with Mickey Xion and roxas etc
I think the PRICE is the deciding factor. If the DLC lowers the price by 10 dollars. I'd say most ppl would say it's worth it.
** (An honest, unbiased, and unpaid for reviewer) Score: 5/10
Is it worth buying? Short answer, No. I REALLY wish the Re:Mind DLC would have added to and smoothed out the overall story and pacing of Kingdom Hearts III; fully explained the already present loose threads and plot holes; added additional substantive dialogue, truly immersive and meaningful playable characters, story arcs, and worlds; and just overall improved upon the game by making a legitimate Kingdom Hearts III 2.0 Final Mix.
But instead of fixing the massive pacing issues and plot problems in Kingdom Hearts III; Tetsuya Nomura, Square Enix, and Disney simply decide to take the easy way out by only adding-on to the end-game content. What you get in the DLC are the Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades w/ associated forms, a handful of additional short cut scenes, "remastered" HD sprites, allowing you to briefly play as some of the additional characters in the scripted battles of the Battle for the Keyblade Graveyard (only Riku, Aqua, Roxas, Kairi, and King Mickey), and by making data recreations of everything. Want to know what is the easiest and cheapest cop-out to horrible directing and story-boarding that basically left all the characters and main protagonist and antagonist dead? -- Bring them back as "data versions" and throw them in optional Data Scape battles. You're paying $29.99 for at minimum, 30 minutes of additional end-game content, and at maximum, 3 hours of additional end-game content. FYI - Half of Jason Dohring's (Terra's) dialogue lines sound like they were phoned-in and the voice acting of Aerith (Andrea Bowen) is still godawful.
The only thing I will commend the development team on is the Armored Xehanort and Yozora's fight scenes being phenomenally scripted, animated, and decently challenging. Even though it's highly apparent that Nomura simply couldn't "let it go" and half-way through KH3's production, sharply turned the entire game into a story leading up to the remake (Verum Rex) of his Final Fantasy verses 13 game that got scraped and rewritten. -- SPOILERS -- Yozora IS FF v 13's Noctis. The true secret ending scene of KH3 is a scene for scene replica of the original FFv13 tailor with the new Yozora character model in Noctis's place. #KingdomHeatsIII #KH3 #ReMind #DLC #SquareEnix
6:26 to 6:56 is basically a guy trying to edit Ansem looking like he’s taking a dump on Riku.
Change my mind.
"a very select group" indeed. when they mentioned that there would be "story updates" I'd hoped we'd finally see a playable Hollow Bastion again not just some different lighting in a few cut scenes. I mean, the Scala area was cool and they clearly put a lot of care into it, but it ended up feeling like a nice-looking wasteland. For me, the biggest draw of Kingdom Hearts was always the worlds, and even though most of the worlds we got were great, it just felt like there were too few of them. personally I would have rather had another awesome world to explore instead of the Keyblade Graveyard. At the end of the day, it was just a dull landscape with a boss rush in it. The heartless battle at the beginning was amazing, but everything after that was just meh...
I just finished it tonight and the DLC looks disappointing. 3 definitely could have done with some extra worlds. I feel like 1 and 2 had more.
Recycling old content...finally someone said it. It was my issue as well. $30 to play the same shit. Only playing riku roxas and aqua once. And no ff worlds. Just trapped in a room with riku playing data sora against organization 13...and yazora. Idk I think it was a waste of $30
angel crespo when have there ever been FF worlds in KH? I partly agree with you though, but I don’t think of it as a complete waste of money. The bosses are a fun challenge and the new Keyblades are awesome to play with. Yozora is a great add on, but I was REALLY let down from them not having Sephiroth in it. I also have a theory that they are cleverly revealing Final Fantasy XVI with that final fight.
angel crespo yea I should’ve waited for reviews before buying it.. total waste
@@Urlastnerve one can only hope. And I meant radiant garden by ff worlds. My bad for the confusion
@@threeeyedraven9264 yeah. I was hoping for more. Like the intro with young xehanort and masters of masters was interesting and the sections they let you play as others was nice. I was hoping more of others being more playable in more sections like birth by sleep
Kris Q key blades were a free update
Favorite part of the story though is the fight with Sora and Kairi. Was pretty cool
The dlc adds more details and information with what happened at the keyblade graveyard, not only that it actually continues where the story ended! If you are a true kingdom hearts fan, you'll love the data battles. And if you beat all of them you are greeted to the most epic bossfight ever!!!
Cupidosus I was just about to say this exact thing!
@Inbar Shemesh for real. I love kingdom hearts but I'm not sure I wanna pay $30 just for the data battles
You're not a "true kingdom hearts fan", you're an overzealous fanboy who actually thinks it's good that they cut content out of the game(AND recycled content) and sold it to you for $30. I was a kingdom hearts fan until i beat KH3, that ending was shit and the ending to remind is also shit because it barely went past what we already saw. They barely added anything new and you're eating it up lol this is why bullshit like remind is going to be more common in the future. If you weren't blinded by fandom it would be abundantly clear that they tricked you.
If you think Yozora is the most epic boss fight ever you should play Metal Gear Rising Revengeance then. Those bosses crap on KH3 bosses in every aspect lol
@@akumaisreal2090 what do you mean by recycled content?
There was no way we’d be able to play as the other charachters without going back in time and replaying the keyblade graveyard. People were naive to think that would’nt be the case.
Technically the only ones that should be playable for this are Riku and Aqua because that code is already in the base game. Square decided to male two ADDITIONAL charachtwrs playable one of whom has never even been a party member until this game meaning her moveset had to be made from scratch. As welll as the whole bit with the guardians amd Mickey. That’s ALOT of work they had to do.
Square appreciates your ass kissing.
RedfurredPikachu it’s not like they had 13 years to do it lol
@@GrimAbstract well more like 5 or 6...they made in between games before focusing on 3...plus they changed graphic software midway through that...They probably felt the pressure of the fans bitching so yes the project probably was rushed a little....but either way dlc is a thing for a reason...
@@GrimAbstract No they had five years, during one of which they had to switch to a different game engine, and thus rebuild all of the assets including new models for the old characters from scratch. People don't realize how difficult game development actually is.
RedfurredPikachu Thank you people think making a game is easy it’s not and that’s when development goes smoothly if it is problematic then it’s even harder and licensing rights are a big roadblock in making kh games. I have faith that future games will be better with development and quality
Kingdom Hearts 3 Remind review: A con job, a rip off, a flip off, a redundancy, a waste of resource, a self indulgent narcissistic project, retcon galore. I can keep going.
Considering how much work was put into it and what questions were answered, it doesn't sound like any of those things. Are you implying Square Enix wasted their time?
@@ZenonXZ OH no they definitely didn't waste their time, because they fooled all their fans into buying recycled/cut content with a sprinkle of new content.
The dlc is pretty good. It is overpriced though.
13 bosses ain't a "sprinkle of new content?
@@photonalchemist6574 13 of all the same bosses you already fought before
Remember KH back on the PS2? isn’t the future awesome?!
Remember when Final Mix was only a Japan exclusive?? Yeah dude, think again, square has been doing this to us for a very long time on KH, so $30 for extra content is fair than Paying $60 for a ps2 Final mix(Japan port) or Remix HD collection
@BHowardify I don't understand this argument. What is so hard to understand? Have you played everything in the series? They lay stuff out for you pretty obviously
BHowardify bbs was good. Ddd was the point where the story went down
BHowardify I get that, gameplay was the best part honestly. And BBS as a prequel did connect a lot of things in the kh lore together, it was convoluted but it still made sense. DDD on the other hand.... 😖😖😖
@BHowardify I can't seem to think of anything that was "actually" retconned except for the scene with Donald and Goofy in KH2 not recognizing yen sids tower despite being there in BBS which released later. What KH does however is rethread a lot of previously introduced characters/mysteries and recontextualize them by revealing connections that were previously unknown. That is not objectively bad storytelling unless it deleted previously established plot (retconning).
It might be bad to you and others if you're not a fan of the whole "reconnect kingdom hearts" type of deal which is basically become the identity of the story KH is trying to tell.
Also I think kh3 pretty much answered everything that has been leading up to it. All the new questions and mysteries seem to be directly connected to Union X and Verum Rex which seem to be setup for the next entry.
Hate all y’all want. I still enjoy this game and the series as a whole
Many of us do as well and still think this DLC wasn't worth $30.
Then you are just a blind fanboy. KH3 is an objectively bad game, all hate is deserved. Whether a few people enjoyed it or not is irrelevant. It is a fact that the game is a massive flop.
@Nicholas Marashio Last of us is nowhere near as good as kh2. It doesnt even have good gameplay, it isnt bad but not good. Kh2 has a flawless gameplay system and leveling system and the ability system is the greatest thing from any rpg ever. Also the soundtrack is far superior in kh2. Or the replayability and secrets the game has. If you wanna say last of us has a better story than go ahead cuz its great but kh2 also has a fantastic story.
@Nicholas Marashio there was never any doubt last of us had a better story than the kh series, nor did I say you compared it directly to kh 2. I simply began my own conversation. I have just a few things to say as you seem to be the type to call certain things opinions even though they are objective facts (the type of person who refuses to be wrong). Not saying thats what you are, just an assumption. 1.) There is a standard for quality, quality is not judged by preferences it is a set measurement and video games are not excluded from this fact of life.
2.) Kh2 music is not just the same sounds looped lmao, I am huge attacker of repetitive ass "music" aka 100% of rap "music" lol. For starters when I say the soundtrack craps on tlou's soundtrack I mean within context of the game, not just listening to it in a spotify playlist. Kh2 went out of its way to have several battle songs, a different theme for every area, and even different songs for each character. Its not just "oh its the sad song again" as there are several emotional themes for different types emotional scenes. The soundtrack fits every situation absolutely perfectly and is never overused. One of the best decisions kh2 made was to have longer songs instead of just 1-2 music that loops, for example the roxas boss theme is like 8 minutes long which is longer than you will actually be fighting him usually so you wont be hearing the same notes forever since none of songs are repetitive as they evolve and change as the song goes on. The last of us feels like it has 3 songs. You mentioned witcher and final fantasy, hate to break it to you but they suck dick. Grindy ass games with random encounters or sword sponge enemies are absolute trash. It doesnt matter how good the characters, story, music, or world is the fact of the matter is that the combat is garbage and it only appeals to those select few people who dont mind grindy repetitive shit. Thats like saying a winter coat that doesnt even keep you warm is great because some people like being cold.
@@bitterthenu7278 Username checks out. You bitter, bitter man.
Its not worth 40 or even 30$ Square Enix screw us over yet again. What is this Final Fantasy XV? I did a whole rant about it. But im a fake fan right? Yeah what ever. People can kiss Squares ass but I wont. Might as well wait once they re-realse it just like they did with FFXV Royal Edition. Its a finale to a saga Square. Im going to be 60 years old and we still facing Xehanort...come on Square whats wrong with youre business? Great video.
dont worry we won't be fighting xehanort after this. Imo the data fights look good but thats where most of the value for this DLC lies, which makes it worth $20 at most unless they add more to it, which i doubt they will.
@@photonalchemist6574 I agree. It ut was 20 it wont be thag bad but still might as well be for free

Upgraded version with Remind: for square enix fans.
LOL yeah square enix fans, here's 5 minutes of those characters you've been missing, that'll be 30 dollars thank you
Everything recicled.
Also, by sending Sora somewhere, SE treats its fan base as drug addicts, who SE are afraid to release from adiction, by giving proper ending, even after the freaking DLC!!
Also, for god sake, would it hurt too much to make 99 slot spaces, as previous games? And that DLC saves should be on their own slots, not able to replace main game save. Thanks for not doing it properly, now I accidently overrided my lvl 99 save slot with the dlc save. Why a PSP game(BBC) would handle it better?
And why BBC, a game for freaking PSP would have better after game content than Kh3, even after that super costly DLC? Do you really expect me to go and hunt spots for photos? Montage movie via shots? Yeah, that actually good feature for more creative ppls, but where is the gameplay for active players? Where is your arena?
Sure DLC have parts I enjoyed, but that not worth the price of whole game.
You can switch between dlc and main game on your save slot. It's pretty simple.
$30 for 4hr dlc content with recycle old content is a rip off, the dlc cost half price of the base game. Rip squre Enix getting greedy AF. Not looking forward to ff7 remake day1 but gonna look and wait for its complete edition.
new game is $60. Average playing time 30 Hours. This DLC is 4 hours. It should cost no more that $8 bucks.
Cry
Black Spiderman 4 hours plus a hell of a lot more with the bosses so try again
@@jeffreyali3644 yeah it took me about 20 hours of playtime trying to beat limit cut on critical difficult lvl 53
The new ff7 game adds a lot more content that is definitely worth playing. If you wanna wait for all of them, you’re essentially waiting for another kh3
Ok I’m done. I loved KH and KHII but since then they’ve done nothing but spout vague stories that do not much but cause you to ask questions. KH3 was a flop. The battle system is great fun and some of the environments are decent, but that’s all it has. It’s nothing compared to the original two. I think the story has become too fragmented, to the point I feel like they don’t even know where it’s going now. I won’t be buying this DLC, and won’t be excited in the slightest for any future titles. Huge shame. At least I can still play KHII on PS4! :)
When an used copy of kh3 is cheaper than the dlc itself hohoho greedy square enix.
You can buy it new for $12
The FF characters were useless bait and exploring scala ad caelum should have been in the main game.
Yea I just watched ppl play it and got satisfied
I was ready to compare this to the Royal Edition DLC for FFXV and for what Re:Mind is... I objectively think Royal is a better deal for the same price.
The Royal Edition comes with FIVE NEW Bosses (story and extra) with new music, much longer (2+hour) final area, a really powerful final form, and allows all season 1 DLC episodes and the multiplayer expansion to be free.
ReMind has Re:Mind, which bassicaly forces you to just replay the final battles again, no new music or new bosses. The expanded Scala can be finished in 15 minutes. And I feel that the "play as other characters" thing should mearly be an update and part of the main game. And even then, the characters you do play as you already played as earlier in the main game. The only new ones are Kairi and Roxas. I mean what about Mickey, Ventus, Lea or even Terra (We could have played as The Lingering Will during his fight against Terra-Nort. That was what the trailer was implying). The only impressive part of the ReMind stuff is that Replica battle. It's cool and climatic (honestly cooler than the actual final boss) and that dramatic Mickey part gave me and my brother a good laugh. But I feel like all this stuff should be in the main game as updates. At least with FFXV the Royal Edition made these PREVIOUS DLC free for everyone (and trust me, I absolutely LOTHE the fact they made those DLC episodes with important story payed DLC, but for what they cost sepretaly it's a good price, $5 an episode, and these episodes, especially Prompto and Ignis, make the price a STEAL).
The only, ONLY part worth money is the Limit Cut episode, even then, we shouldn't have to pay for a mode in a previous game (KH2:FM) that's been released for YEARS. And that Data Greetings mode is also neat.
I feel likes at most it should be worth $15. Not a penny more.
I'm glad I kept my expectations down ever since my dissapointment with KH3 so the fire didn't fuel AS much but even then, it's not worth what I payed for.
PS: I have yet to do the secret episode, but from what I heard it does not add TOO much so I don't think it would still make the price worth it.
People tend to forget that vanilla kh2 did not have the data fights. And kh2fm was a whole other release. Not an update.
13 new bosses and the hardest secret boss of the series? Plus the difficulty modifiers? Well worth the price IMHO.
@@blackeagle041 I don't forget that base KH2 had no data battles. Obviously. But it was still a mode in a game, KH2:FM. "Whole other release" or not has been around for years now and we are bassicaly paying more for a games experience again. We are paying again for a mode we had to pay again, and was out for years. Sounds scummy right? At least make it an update like I wished they did with ReMind (the episode). The 13 hard bosses are just the Data Battles again. I do think that the Secret Episode (finally played it), Data Greetings, and Black Code is worth paying for since it's brand new stuff. But not worth $30.
I'll play this when it's remaster on PS5
GameMasterpg good luck with that
@@IAmKentori What are u talking about dude
@@GameMasterpg it won't get remastered.. that's what he's on about
@@SkateTutorials93 Square-Enix always does Remasters and Ports because people always buy them. So I know kH3 will see a Remaster next gen.
@@GameMasterpg
Difference is that they port things that people can't play on new consoles, and the PS5 is supposed to be backwards compatible
I'm gonna wait and pay 15 or less for it. I'm a die hard fan since 2006 but I'm not stupid and just take anything Square Enix does.
Don’t spend the $30. I’d say a good 85% is just copy and pasted from the actual Kh3 ending and the rest was decent but also just annoying because they could have easily ended the new content into the original
Well someone is definetly bad at math.
I hope its free since they gave us an incomplete game at launch

Definitely not worth the $30 bucks. Remind is basically replaying the endgame portion with new cutscenes, commands & optional character selection. Which is really cool but a huge bummer. I’m a huge KH fan and I hate spoilers so that’s why I got it...lol
I enjoyed the data battles of the limit cut episode and secret boss but i really disliked sitting through alot of the same cutscenes and bosses, fights like the ones with larxene/marluxua/luxord and the fight with ansem xemnas and young xehanort as well as the fight with the replicas were unchanged and unnecessary. The dlc should've been just $15
With a Sephiroth boss fight it would have been worth it
No Yozora is better
@@yueler2061 I didn't say Seph was better than Yozora. I said that Seph should've been included, alongside yozora and data battles
I really try to give Nomura as much love an respect as I can for how he probably felt with vs XIII being taken away from him but the real question is should I pay 26.99 for this
It would probably depend on how much you value super bosses.
I didn't mind it tbh but I wish there was more content like answer questions to plot points because God knows how long it's gonna take before the next entry and again this is all wishful thinking:
A playable segment featuring the return of Lauriam Elerena Luxord and Demyxs human selves where all of them are playable now that they're free from Xemnas/Xehanorts control, maybe a back story on Luxord and Demyx past selves as Keyblade weilders we already knew of Marluxia and Larxenes past but Demyx and Luxords past just felt thrown in in the original game IMO maybe Luxords wild card could of played a role
Lauriam Elerena could reunite with Ventus maybe and since they are back to their old selves help find Sora while Lauriam and Elerena help find a way to figuring out what happened to Strelitzia
A backstory on Ienzos life prior to being adopted by Ansem, as mentioned by Even in BBS Ienzo lost his parents maybe we could figure out what caused that to happen maybe his home place got destroyed by the darkness who knows.
A playable segment with Terra Aqua and Ven traversing the realm of Darkness looking for Sora's whereabouts it's nice seeing them together again after a decade apart would of been cool if we had them all playable again not just Aqua
Another playable segment where you enter Roxas and Xions memories of Sora while Hayner Pence and Olette looks for clues on Sora's whereabouts
Another segment featuring Lea and Isa continue looking for the missing girl they befriended now that Isa is free from Xehanorts control and back to being a human since everything was unresolved because they had fallen out when they were nobodies.
I rather retcons Dream Drop Distance onwards
Here's a funny story: Persona 5 is less than $20. I haven't played P5, so I'll definitely buy that over $30 kh3 dlc with less than 10 hours of content. P5 is over 100 hours of content!
P5 was over 100h for me and I did not do side-stuff really
@@Pikachu-qr4yb I hear it takes a long time to 100% complete the game. I've accepted that challenge! When I play a game I make sure to get platinum trophy always! Bring it on!
@Final Fantasy Yet, some crazy KH fanboys are trying to defend the $30 price for 6 hours of content. I used to be a KH fanboy who would fight anyone who said something negative about KH. However, KH3 changed all of that. Now I look at KH with my eyes open and I see lots of negatives I used to just ignore.
isn't persona 5 a 3 year old game?
@Final Fantasy For me half of DDD was okay, but I liked the latter half. My favorite will always be KH2. I enjoyed the card battle system of Chain of Memories over KH3. Many KH fans disliked COM, because they didn't want to use their brains on a new battle system.
I'm a big KH fan but to be honest it's embarrassing for the developers to give us this for 30 bucks after a whole year of waiting. A PS4 game should not have the same amount of content as a PS2 game that came out ages ago. I'm not pre-ordering any square games again.
It's annoying. What's there is pretty decent, but its just not enough for the price. If people don't want to go insane from constantly trying to beat the data bosses, they are literally paying $30 for 4 hours of mostly the same game. You know there's a problem when the free update has more going for it than the actual DLC.
They really need to fix the management at square
First FFXV, now this...
I was disappointed by the dlc and felt so ripped off honestly i think at most its only worth about $10.
I still wanna know what’s with the box. “WHATS IN THE BOOXXXX?!?!”
This game ReMinded me that Nomura will never be done with Kingdom Hearts
Knight Of ANGUISH but let’s be honest that’s a good thing :)
@@josim9244 not really if the story keep drag on uselessly
Kolade Arasanmi it can be easily argued that it is already doing that but in reality 90% of the big games these days do the same thing so who cares at this point
Jo Sim KH fanboy spotted
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 lmao so? Some people just like KH a lot and some don’t like that’s fine. I just watched the clips on CZcams and was pleasantly surprised at the gaps that were filled in between each boss fight at the end of KH3. Thirty bucks is totally too much for rehash and a little explanation, and it should’ve been like 5-10 dollars only but eh it is what it is 🤷🏻♂️ I’m a KH fanboy too and that’s fine (also I’m not picking a fight or anything it just seemed like you saying “KH fanboy spotted” was meant with derogatory intentions). People can like what they like and I’ve played this series since I was like 5 and it makes me happy knowing that at least sora or Roxas or any of the characters will always be there while I age inevitably. As confusing and cash grabbing as the series can be, we can still be allowed to like things, and like I said not picking a fight here, just saying hey who cares if he’s a KH fanboy? I am too and that’s fine
A genuinely good and honest review
This video is very helpful in giving me hope. Im replaying the ending now feeling like i wasted my money.
7:15 if you prioritize story in kh at this point, you're gonna have a bad time
If you prioritize story and thats your primary reason for buying it...well I would say good bad or ugly today you can just go on this website and look up the story...For me I love both still...its not meant for people who like in kh terms simple and clean stories.
Oh please the final mix versions are DLC's if you think about it, it's the same base game but more patched and extra content gameplay wise.
This honestly pisses me off, KH3 was suppose to be the end all to KH, even marketed that way, the ending was a mess and this is even messier, then at the end you say this should hold off fans till the next big KH release. Wtf there shouldn’t be another, i was suppose to actually have an ending
Edit: apparently I’m wrong I was under the impression it was the end, we would finally understand what the hell Kingdom Hearts was.... I like things actually ending I’m sorry
Where/who ever said KH3 was going to be the final game? It was always stated since 2012 this was going to be the end of the Xehanort saga.
Son said suppose to be the ending 😭😭😭 clearly dont kno shit
CraccHead Jones Yea honestly as delusional as the fanboys are that defend KH3 to no end, this guy is even more clueless. Lol.
KH4 should have a new protagonist. Sora deserve have a good happy ending along with all his friends after the Keyblade War.
Playing as Roxas should have been in the main game! When he drops in from the sky, that would have been sweet. Also those "premium settings" should have been a free update. Attractions can get fucked!
I gotta wait till next month for my XBOX ONE X release, but from what I'm seeing I'd best keep my expectations minimal.
CRAZY GREG FILMS same bro!
I'm not even getting it I expected answers to some degree and they just string people along I played the previous games on PlayStation 2 on the upside for us Xbox players now there's a big rumor going around that 1.5 and 2.5 final mix are coming to the Xbox later this year I don't know why this was done before kingdom hearts 3 was released but if I find the articles I'll post them here
Just save your money til its on sale
matt manley no you’re not wrong, they’re coming.
I'm waiting for the future complete final mix i know we're gonna get in the future. Probably end up bundled with other games in the series
It's such a shame the series ended this way, square just can't help cut story to sell it back later was clearly undeserved and vague end just to sell this , sad thing is the reused bit of this dlc was the only original story in the base game, $30 just isn't worth 5 hours of mostly reused content, was more effort put into the photo mode than this dlc, and shoehorning the verse 13 is just sad the "good and bad" ends even a reused 9 year old trailer
The DLC is okay, since the challenges are pretty hard, such as fighting these data bosses and Yozora. But what disappointed me was the fact that Ven, Xion, and Lea/Axel aren’t playable as they have their own HP and MP.
People saying it's not worth $30 are clearly wrong. It's better than spending $70 on a final mix when you would just be repaying for the same game with bonus content, the dlc route makes it better for fans of the franchise. A full fan would be fully engaged and love the sotry as it had many heart warming moments and with th free update the cutscene got toutched up adding things like music end game cutscenes like when Roxas, Xion and Lea/ Axel are together again. And on top of this they fixed a lot of issues with difficulty, added data orgs that have a real challenge if you play on critical, you have the secret episode which does not add much but it provides you with the hardest battle in the franchise. The dlc is able to enchance the entire game, Kingdom hearts 3 re:mind was able to make the game have a proper ending. Overall remind is 100 times better than a final mix.
Jesus Christ you people. We get it, we're not paying for another COPY. That would be unacceptable honestly. No one would buy another copy. But as a $30 DLC, it's not worth it. It bassicaly forces you to replay the final battles but you can play as SOME of the other characters (half of which you already played as in the game like Riku and Aqua. Roxas and Kairi are nice but what about Ventus, Mickey, Lea, or even Terra, the trailer implied you would be playing as the Lingering Will). It's just not worth it. The Data Battles and Data Greetings (I haven't done the Secret Episode yet but I hear it's friggin short so I'm not impressed) are the only things worth the purchases but like that it should cost around $15.
@@pedroxruz6032 You see but it is 2020, compare the prices over the year's, all dlc's do is increase in price. Back in 2013 maybe i would agree but with how the market is now $30 is fine. The dlc did not imply you would be playing as Lingering Will but it's a disappointment that you do not get to play as Ventus (I dont care about the others tbh). Also compare Kh2 FM and Kh3 re:mind since people love comparing them. Kh2FM you would have to buy again as dlc was not a thing and what did kh2FM add? data battles? Roxas battle and lingering will wow. No new story atleast kh3 offers something more. The price for Kh3 is worth it if you think about it.
@@potatojay5553 I don't know if you've ever played FFXV before. But that game has these DLC episodes, these DLC episodes center around a never before played as charcter with new gameplay mechanics and can give you 3+ hours of playtime for $5 each episode. What does ReMind give you for $30. You get to replay the final battles, just with some charcters you never played as, and Data Battles. It can all be done in around 3 hours. Do the math.
Pedro Cruz-Vargas they were not $5 when I got them and they all have different times, episode gladiolus was not that long while episode Ignis and Prompto were longer and well episode Arydn depends on how much side content you do. For me the DLC’s were about $30-40 for the season pass. Then again it’s all opinion based and every is entitled to their own opinion.
imnotmexican1987 well it is opinion based and every will have different thoughts about it.

I think the consensus is clear. The Scenario itself was pretty lacking, Data Greeting and Premium Menu are neat but Niche, and the superbosses are great.
Guys can i work for kingdom hearts company and give us what we want. I just dont think the developers have a damn clue. We need. Itleast 12 hour remind campaign. This is not a full game as advertised. Also the campaign has nothing repeatable. Explain the time travel storyline through short cutscenes. We actually get new areas 2 walk around in such as itleast 2 new worlds. Like radiant garden fully explorable plus new areas. Cloud. Sephiroth. Destiny islands as a fully explorable world leading 2 dark world plus kairis island accesible through boat. Twilight upgraded as fully explorable with mysterious tower plus stairs leading to click tower so we can finally go there. A separate campaign for riku like previous titles. The option to choose kh1 kh2 models as there in the game. So what if it disables boring form changes. Wud still b kool. Uhmm get gravity time mini and reflect magic back. The option to toggle the control for photo mode to first person view. Coliseum battles brought back. Fight past organisation members. Xexion xaldin laxeus wud b so kool. With unlocking kool abilities or synthesize unique accessories like in kingdom hearts 2 final mix. Bring back kh2 form abilities. Explain it through a damn short cutscene in yen sids tower. Photomode from start. Not after completing remind. And no lazy location 1 2 3. And arandeles world was awful. Needed a castle. Expand upon winnie the Pooh's lazy world. And ability to play as axel kairi roxas in even just 1 world. Just 2 walk around as them and check abilities. Visit axel time forest world. Expand upon there time there. And add coliseum like from birth by sleep with online rlements such as pvp. Start out small and continuesly add. They shud never have made it so easy. For newcomers huh. Thats what beginner mode is 4 duh. The world that never was returns. And those stupid money grabbing Disney rides obviously marketing greed just ruined the game. Available every 4 minutes. Ughhhh rant over. They have become greedy and are taking advantage of fans loyalty. This series has nearly ruined the franchise. Remind was a chance to save and most of it was repeat boring as hell repeat. Lazy greedy developers that dont have any ideas. Why are they employed?? Also riku interacting with final fantasy characters and sora doesn't. Sooo dumb. Explore land of departure. Access roxas room and vens room looking out would be awesome. Beating yozura shud give u glowing saber like keyblade like bbs. And can carry over to new game plus. And beating xemnas end game with it unlocks kool crown or something like that. Outfit decoration. Medal on coat or something. Why dont they have such kool ideas like this???? Secret endings massive dissapointment. Soo short. Give us a 10min 1
I loved ReMind, it made Kairi so much better, and of course I’m a huge fan so I didn’t care that I paid 30$ (even tho I paid 40, cuz I wanted the concert video stuff and I looove the music) and the bosses were so much fun to memorize and finally, the new abilites they gave Sora its soo much better, I didnt like the combos in the vanilla game (I’m looking at you Magic Flash, more like Magic Trash)
$30 for 4 more hours? fuck that
So, wait for Persona 5 Royal?
Yeah pay $60 for dlc lol
I say it’s worth the $30 if you waited to really play 3 a year later, like I got it at launch but didn’t even past the first 4 worlds so getting it with the price drop then I say it’s worth it
What are they even doing with kingdom hearts? Literally all they had to do was make a game with a good, mysterious atmosphere and an even better soundtrack, like they did in the first game. Nomura, nobody cares about your convoluted, stupid storyline at this point.
You would think but he has a group of followers who worship the ground he walks on. 😒
1st game: a bit too grindy and repetitive with a great story tho a lil too childish sometimes
2nd game: has a slowish start with the Pete stuff instead of hopping right into organization 13 but with a flawless combat system and an incredible more mature story tho with a couple weird plot twists thrown in.
Kh3: combat is spammy, floaty, and repetitive with stupid ass yoyos and shit combined with some stupid nobody dies lol its a kid game story but whoops did that person die, sike I already said it was kids game where you take selfies with princesses and post them online lolololololololololol. Story is some clusterfuck nonesense shit that tried to be metal gear but failed miserably.
@@bitterthenu7278 yep 😂
I actually do care about the story and a lot of other people many old fans found more enjoyment in seeing conclusions to the other 2 groups than the actual game ;/
Yea this was supposed to be in the base game nd the boss fight crazy
I bought the game, I heard his biggest flaw(ff chars missing aside) is the lack in real challenge. Once I heard about this dlc introducing a new harder mode I thought to interrupt the esperience and wait till this comes out. What you guys think? should I buy this first before I start the game?
You can always play in critical mode if you wish for a challenge. I don’t think you should get the DLC unless you really end up enjoying the game and still want more after finishing it.
Despite this needing to have been in the base game, this made it better than 2
idk about all that.

A very fair score in my opinion
Long story short, it's not worth it.
i think that can be up to interpretation i personally loved it and find it worth every penny.
$30 just to replay the final level of the game with barely any new content is a rip off no matter how you look at it.
@@pseudonym7180 thats not very accurate there are added scenes and an entire sequence where you get to play as all the guardians of light not to mention fighting as kairi against xehanort and then there is all the data battles which is honestly enough content on it's own.
@@pforgottonsoul Like I said, $30 for barely any added content. I was entirely accurate. Most of the DLC is rehashed content from the base game, and the complete package is only around 4 hours. This is something only loyalists will happily pay half a full game for, and even then it's a rip off.
@@pseudonym7180 it's 4 hours for the story part of it, if you try beating all the data battles on the hardest difficulty it will take you a lot longer. The game has a lot more longevity than you give it credit for.
This dlc was awful
You know what thank you so many players for getting this early You've saved me money.I thought this was going to answer some big questions and it literally does nothing but pad in some extra fights into the end game explaining a few things.on top of that I guess sora is now either in a new universe or is a figment of somebody's imagination who lives in the final fantasy universe.. I think Nomura needs to just stop writing. This DLC seems like the biggest cash grab I've seen in a few years. Will not be purchasing truly in wholeheartedly
If you start the game from the beginning will the dlc happen along with the base game or can you only preselect it from the menu after completing the base game?
So this confirms it for me, what used to easily be my all time favorite developers has become the EA/Ubisoft of Japan. Back in the day, back when it was Squaresoft you knew you were buying an amazing and *complete* game that would have a complete adventure that would stick with you, nowadays they can't even give us a complete story let alone a finished product. FFXV was a major disappointment but I told(or lied to) myself that it's because of the troubled development cycle but there's no excuse for this. I can't believe they're actually charging $30 for something severely lacking in worth when you've got games like TW3(a massive game that's filled to the brim with content that didn't require dlc, let alone even needing it) having dlc that's almost a new game by itself that's around the same price.
Edit: Sorry, I don't want to make it sound like there has been a noticeable drop in quality since Enix, just that it's progressed to what it is now which is a huge difference in what was and what it is now.
You didn't lie to yourself. I wholeheartedly don't blame FFXV for being what it turned into, it's stressful 10 year development messed it up. KH3, there's no excuse for that. Like at all.
At least now, all they sell now are Royal Editions of FFXV for $40 which comes with everything.
But KH3, a lackluster game (with no good excuse) will now be technecly $90 for the full game plus DLC, and even after all that, I still think it's not a complete game.
Pedro Cruz-Vargas A couple years ago I would've agreed with you, while I do agree with the troubled development being a factor in it's condition when released and that should be taken into account(to an extent, they still sold it for $60 knowing full well the game was chopped up, let alone actually complete however that doesn't excuse them for their handling of it post-release. They sold beta demos(testing new, unpolished mechanics instead of improving upon what was there making it even more apparent that it was slapped together) and called it "Story DLC," DLC that may as well have taken place in an alternate world seeing as how what's done is never mentioned in the story. Prompto does something extremely significant in his DLC, something that if not done would've severely effected the story yet we hear absolutely nothing about it in the base game(which is obviously the bait that's used to sell the demo at the cost of solidifying an already jumbled story since they decided to chop off parts of the base game to sell later) so it may as well have never even happened. Then there's the Royal Edition..canonically they literally changed the events leading up to the end of the base story and the only way for you to see the end of the true story is to give them more money. XV sold extremely well and made a profit on the first day, there's no reason for them to have handled it the way they did post-release.
I realize I'm probably being a bit hard on them(and I apologize if so) but man..I held Square in such high regard for most of my life(I'm 32, been a fan since I was 9 or 10) so that could cloud my judgment a bit.
I am so over kh now
The first part should have been a movie instead.
The DLC is now on sale for $24 on PSN.
Should have researched whats this dlc is all about before buying it :(
Well, thats 30 e completely wasted for me. But apparently thats my mistake, I just wanted to avoid spoilers I guess...
This dlc can kinda feel like a bit of a stiff but if you look at the older games you'd pay 60 on release, and then another 60 for the final mic version containing roughly this same amount of added content, if not less. So while it feels a bit slim this is a better value cost wise than previously, I think people just feel ripped off because it feels like a seperate purchase and is under the label of dlc, while before many players may have waited a long time and bought only the final mix versions. This pack occasionally goes on sale on all store fronts with the remind dlc packed in all for 60 bucks, most often on epic games service.
You did. I youtubed that because I value my worth
@@evilovesperry I’m confused as to what you’re saying here
To summarize the whole thing, if you liked KH3 then get the DLC. It provides appx. 4 hours of additional content for you to have fun with and setup the future titles.
If disliked KH3, well for one, why are you here? No DLC will ever fix your "disappointment." Two, obviously don't get the DLC.
Simple and clean math!

- Hurt fanboy
You fanboys really need to cut it out. People are here to see if this expensive ass DLC fixes issues with KH3. And it doesn’t.
Nicholas Marashio not sure what you are trying to get to bro. If you don't like content why be negative about it? Just don't follow it. Allow those who enjoy to have fun with it, why make it unbearable to others? As for the review, the DLC is fine for the content that it brings. If you enjoyed the game chances are you will enjoy the DLC. If the game didn't meet your standards then don't bother with the DLC. There is no "fanboyism" or "unmasked" criticism just facts. Why bother getting dlc content for something you didn't like. Same as why hate on a piece of media you didn't like? Move on and let others enjoy it. Also if you have valid criticism there are ways to make them constructive instead of disruptive.
So sora's story ain't over yet....see ya all in the conclusion of another quarter of our lives.
Gotcha Just keep Playing Kh 1 and 2.
No matter how anyone puts it. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a broken and rushed game sadly not able to keep up with it predecessors.
Ripoff but will buy because I’m a die hard fan lol
Darksiders genesis comes out February 14th for xbox one, PS4 and the Switch.
The story has some real shit in there, but half of it it’s just replay the final part of the main game and that kinda let me down. On the other hand, no one actually recognizes how awesome Datas and Yozora fights actually are: i managed to get in for hours and hours and it was so much fun finally having to exploit the entirety of the gigantic combat system that this game actually has and the main game doesn’t use at its fullest. Not for 30 bucks, but for half of it you get a great deal
KH3 was such a disappointment... beautiful game.. but disappointing. I mean, didnt expect DDD and BBS to be better. After reading these comments, waiting for DLC for $20 or less.
Having just played through games 1-3 in the last year I have to say both KH2 and 3 are about the same in terms of difficulty. The 1st was actually difficult and had some really punishing boss battles. Or maybe I just became a better KH player as I went along.
Think I'll wait till the price of the DLC comes down , doesn't look like it adds much to the game.
Definitely think that KH1 was the most difficult out of the 3! KH2 wasn’t particularly challenging, but at the very least, some battles were trickier than others upon the first play through. While playing KH3, not once did I feel like anything was at stake during the battles because the linked/special moves were constantly available. They really made the fighting even more brainless than before :(
Nothing new. Just square enix squeezing money out of the fans like always
Just out of curiosity I'm reading the comments and I'm seeing it's a 4 hour DLC which is fine. But is there a way to save at all?? Theres no way I can beat it in one sitting js....
kairiXyuna94 Great question! Yes, there are save points. The first save point takes a while to get to, though. After that, it’s the same as the labyrinth in the main game (save point, 2 boss rooms, etc). The final boss rush is long with no saves in between, and you can save a “completed file” after that.
@@iggyp4390 ok cool! I made it to terra but unfortunately had to leave and later on played something else with friends and lost my progress. But that is great to know thank you!
I can’t wait to play remind I’ve already played all the games and glad this oen is out so quick
Good for you, but did you get platinum trophy in every kh game?
@@bublxteq4656 I got platinum trophy on all KH games available for PlayStation consoles. It was no easy task. I probably spent over 200 hours. That's a mission you should try to accomplish! I believe in you!
Publius Cornelius Scipio lol thx I’ll replay them to try get platinum trophy😄👍
Publius Cornelius Scipio thx I will replay them to try get platinum👍😀
@@bublxteq4656 Marvelous, my dear. Tell me when you platinum each game so I know you're doing this challenge! Believe that you can get platinum trophy like Naruto believing he could become Hokage!
Kingdom hearts 3 thought it could be like john wick 3 and make a 4th game.. nope loved kingdom hearts 1 and 2 but after all the spin offs and crap it's now a dead series to me. 1 and 2 are the only good ones.
There are no Kingdom Hearts "spinoffs", they're all part of the main story that aren't numbered. Even the mobile game has story implications.
