The boss fights in this DLC are the best they've ever been. It's amazing how the Osaka team went from making the unfair, broken piece of shit that is Mysterious Figure to the best fights in the franchise. The actual story content is somewhat disappointing though as it is mostly a rehash of the last stretch of the game but the final boss is cool and Scala ad Caelum gets the expansion it so desperately needed so I'll give them props for that. The biggest offender besides the latter flaw is the price tag. This is content that should have been in the base game for free, not for $30. If you loved the data fights in KH2:FM or just want a fun challenge definitely get this, preferably on sale though.
meu pai do céu, como eu amo essa franquia, essa DLC serviu para dar uma apimentada no que já tinha sido mostrado em uma perspectiva diferente, explicar alguns pontos que ficaram meio aberto no jogo base e também trazer depressão e ansiedade ao meu coração por me fazer chorar de novo com esse final, duas vezes é sacanagem.
This review contains spoilers
(9.5) Como essa dlc é divida em basicamente três segmentos, acho nada mais justo que dividir os comentários por tópicos
Sobre a primeira parte q é a campanha. Vou admitir q tenho uma crítica ou outra. Como 70%/80% dela ser repetida do endgame do jogo base e a principal: Expõem plot points q dava pra entender de boa no jogo base pela narrativa e escrita incrivel do Nomura, mas q por algum caralho de motivo o pessoal n conseguiu entender então essa dlc mastigou tudo isso, como por exemplo a Aqua tendo ptsd no tornado de heartless. Real acho q as pessoas dão uma má fama pra KH de ser confuso e q n é vdd, e subestimam muito o estilo autoral do Nomura (e engraçado q recentemente por causa do Rebirth q é até cômico pq diferente do Remake nesse ele n teve tanto envolvimento, o próprio disse q os tais do ""nomurismo"" q o pessoal remete a ele, n tem nada haver com oq ele escreveu). Mas tbh? Essa parte da dlc ainda é do caralho msm com isso tudo! As interações dos personagens são espetaculares (seja diálogos ou em golpes combinados dentro do combate), tu poder jogar com outros personagens (principalmente a Kairi) é muito foda, a boss fight q botaram do Terra foi foda tbm, Scala ad Caelum tem um level design do chrl e principalmente alguns dos melhores momentos da franquia, em especial a luta dos Keyblade Wielders contra as Replicas. Essa boss fight foi O highlight da dlc pra mim, e um dos melhores momentos do jogo inteiro q só tem momento peak e da mídia num geral, e só me faz relembrar do pq esse ser meu jogo favorito (sem contar VN, pq aí seria Higurashi Kai mas anyway). E pra finalizar, FINALMENTE a Kairi teve o destaque q ela merecia como personagem próprio e n só atrelada ao Sora... e pena q no MoM vacilaram dnv.
Mas de qualquer forma, essa parte da campanha eu já tinha jogado anteriormente quando lançou o port de pc do jogo, oq é novidade pra mim é as próximas duas. E já vou ter q começar falando q as Datas Battles são simplesmente algumas das melhores boss fights q já vi na mídia, em especial do Xehanort (minha favorita), Xion, Xemnas e Terra. São um teste pra ver se vc realmente aprendeu e masterizou todas as mecânicas do jogo e se é digno de passar delas, e essas lutas foi pura catarse. Em especial como falei do Xehanort q é a minha favorita, já q o final boss do KHIII é a minha boss fight favorita de qualquer jogo, enfrentar ele numa versão ainda mais imponente (e com uma música mlhr, mas detalhes) foi uma das melhores partes da dlc tbm
E falando em testar pra ver q vc dominou as mecânicas... vamo falar da última parte da dlc, o Secret Episode que contém o superboss do jogo, Yozora. Esse aqui é realmente O TESTE, e mecanicamente é a boss fight mais bem elaborada da franquia, é o boss mais difícil q já enfrentei num jogo mas em nenhum momento senti q ele foi barato (diferente do Lingering Will q é um hot take mas a luta em si n curto mt não), é realmente um duelo de igual pra igual com uma besta... mas a sensação de derrotar ele foi algo simplesmente inigualável. E sinto q com o contexto q os próximos jogos deve dar pra esse momento, ela deve melhorar ainda mais no meu conceito.
E se tu quiser, da uma olhada na minha footage derrotando ele (percebe q n jogo bem mas foda-se, é a primeira vez derrotando ele): https://youtu.be/F2aE67S6rBs?si=0TRYow8TWY76tFg9
Mas é isso, tbh msm se n existisse a DLC eu ficaria já muito satisfeito só com o jogo base pq oq mais me importo com os jogos na franquia é a narrativa, mas essa dlc só melhora e expõe ainda mais o quão kino e especial essa obra é pra mim.

i usually don't review dlc, but surely one that's more than doubled my playtime is a worthy exception, right?
the remind scenario itself is rough around the edges and has too much repeated content, but the limit cut and secret episodes make this all worthwhile. not only are those loaded with god tier boss fights (arguably the best in the series) but they also continue to push the story in an extremely interesting direction and i genuinely cannot wait to see what comes next

A good time albeit one that has A LOT of recycled content considering the price they're asking you to pay.
Maybe the worst deal for something I paid for lol.
That being said, it's still an extension of KH3 and therefore it still slaps. Some real fun hints to what's next for KH as well as some nice re-contextualization on existing stuff.
Worth playing but only if you're already deep into KH

A essentially boss rush DLC expansion that basically retells the ending segment of the game with extra story here and there and allows you to play as characters other than Sora which is something I really wanted to do so I'm glad they were included. I think maybe it could've had a bit more unique story but it was still nice.
this DLC is fucking phenomenal and i cant stop thinking about how good this is
in my head this is a Final Mix add-on and its divided into 3 sections so i will be exposing them accordingly
the remind stuff is basically a rehash of the final story beats of KH3 and what a great rehash that is it adds some insights into the story events and i LOVED THEM they added so much to the scenes and i wish they were in the base game but whatever and also the ability to play as specific characters in some parts and i can say confidently that playing as roxas was the best thing to ever happen in my life to be honest i love him so much my sweet little baby and yeah you can play as other peeps even tho theyre kinda weak compared to sora but its fine ok its fine i love them i birthed all of them
tho this also means you have to go through the same bosses you fought in the base game but for me it wasnt that much of a pain because i loved those battles maybe playing this right after finishing kh3 isnt the best choice but i am me
also clearly i cried again for the roxas axel xion reunion lmaooo
after the boss rush you get to a segment that i loved which is exploring scala ad caelum which is something that i wanted to do in kh3 but couldnt because of how it played out so having this amazing landscape to run through is absolutely breathtaking
also theres a part where you fight with every single keyblade wielder as one youll get what i mean if you play it and a super badass moment from king mickey himself ? damn everybody got a spotlight in this
and then final boss with kairi FINALLY i can see (and play as) kairi fucking beat some asses i needed that in my life so bad
boom FINALE explaining more stuff that happened
great stuff
final cut is basically kh2 data battles and theyre fucking majestic but also incredibly hard so downside is you got to play the base game get to like level 99 get ultima get good gear and then you go do these fights without tearing your hair out
theyre kind of a greater and harder and more showy version of the final fights in the game and i wouldnt want them in any other way and possibly my fav one is the fight against xion that one is absolutely stunning and also v difficult and vector to the heavens is some of the best song ever in kh3 so yeah thats great
cool stuff
then theres a secret episode where you fight against sexy yozora and that ones a REAL HARD ONE hes fucking insane but also the best combat in the entirety of kingdom hearts so thats a +
you get some kind of mysterious ending that fan theorists will have a blast thinking about and hearing sora (+yozora) say ive been having this weird thoughts lately like is any of this for real or not kind of made me mentally backtrack the whole series and wow its just a mindblowing cliffhanger and yeah
GOAT addition
i think im finally done with kingdom hearts and probably i shouldve left these considerations in the kh3 review but i dont think there will ever be something that feels quite like kingdom hearts i have no idea what is it about this series that bewitched the entire world and me too but its just idk it feels like a series so personal and with a lot of love put into it that even with all the high highs and low lows i just cant help but enjoy it abundantly be it the characters or story or music this series is something that everyone should experience and im happy to have finally completed this fucking marathon and i beg everyone to at least get to kh2 to decide what to do next but i assure you that at that point you will already be hooked
i will miss it for a while and will be waiting for kingdom hearts 4 or whatever comes out before of that
peace nomura goated
damn first thing on re mind is gon just be luxord way to make me horny again after a good cry
i know that the master of masters is hot as fuck please take your coat off
PLAYING AS ROXAS IS SOMETHING ELSE I SWEAR PEOPLE IN THE BACK
exploring scala ad caelum is something else I swear
ven complimenting roxas just made my day tbh
that mickey sequence tho was cool af
ok sora you hugged kairi in outer space but you still got a bf waiting
THEYRE MAKING ME PLAY AS KAIRI LETS GOOOO that flower keyblade is sending me
I just noticed how cute kairi looks with short hair
also noticed how ugly axel looks with his new clothes and how cute xion looks with hers I was too busy crying last time
oh no leons really hot
OH NO CIDS HOT how are his shoulders so big umh sorry this is not the place to thirst

Pessoalmente as Data Battles não me agradaram muito, achei bem frustante no quesito gameplay, e em questão de lore podiam simplesmente serem skipadas. Tirando isso, amei todo o resto, jogar com os outros personagens é extremamente satisfatório e aquece o coração, interação entre os personagens é a coisa mais ouro dessa dlc.
The game is actually fun now. They changed your base combat so that the combos actually work instead of enemies falling out of magic flash for the 2 billionth time; they expanded the best world in the game and gave you a lot to explore; they added in oathkeeper and oblivon, which have the best formchanges; all of the new bosses (armored xehanort, yozora, data organization) are fantastic, I hate the wall around the arenas, but aside from that these are the best bosses in the series.
KH2 was lightning in a bottle, and for a brief moment, that lightning came back and made this DLC rival the best of KH2. I've never been more excited for the future of the series, and I hope that KH4 is a good game as a whole, and doesn't just have a good final mix expansion.
