You didn’t call it a re:view in the title or thumbnail smh. Unsubscribed

Riku's voice acting sounds like that kid in school that was forced to read out loud and could only read one word at a time

9:51 it definitely sounds like Riku’s voice actor is just straight up reading it right off the script

Why does dark riku sound fine when actual riku sounds like hes been lobotomised?

I hate that everyone speaks so quietly during the team fight, I can't hear what anyone says over the music.

As someone who's favorite thing in KH are the boss fights, I was more than happy with what the DLC gave us. Having to learn openings and patterns of Data Org. 2.0 was one of the most satisfying things for me, and finally beating Yozora filled my with a sense of accomplishment. And to think the team that made Yozora also made MF. That's a redemption arc if I've ever seen one.

Why couldn’t they just integrate the ReMind episode into the main game? Replaying the climax right after beating the game doesn’t sound appealing at all.

According to Nomura in an interview, he said that the Organization fights in the Skein of Severance were purposely watered down to make them more manageable (admitting he somewhat overcompensated) and that the data fights were what they REALLY were like for Sora to face in the story. They did improve the ending a bit with the new scenes and added more context to some of the others which were quite silly (Aqua’s freezing seeing the massive hurricane, Xemnas weakening Sora and Kairi with his Nothingness powers, added motivation with the Master of Masters setting Xehanort on his path, etc.) I’ll give credit that they went back to fix issues story wise and gameplay. Gave me a new interest in KH3. Also Yozora is one of the best fights this whole series has had.

Kairi's gameplay was definitely the highlight for me in the main episode, especially her throw-&-warp move. Plus Yoko really went out on all the soundtracks. Have you heard the beginning of the soundtrack after the "75 years later" message pops up? Godamn insane, thought i was watching Lord of the Rings for a moment there.

7:28 to 7:34 is literally every ending/bonus KH cutscene ever.

I usually have difficulty hearing the difference in acting quality when it's mentioned, but that Riku one really made me implode from cringe.

9:35 - I felt Riku overally had weird and awkward voice acting in Kingdom Hearts III, not just here

Speaking facts as usual

Woah! Osaka Team iterated on the foundation Tokyo Team created and it was well designed and liked! *Imagine that.*

This DLC pushed KH3 up to be my favorite KH game. While the Re:Mind scenario did have a lot of re-used content in the beginning, I feel like it really picked up around the Nort Court fight and Scala and all the stuff after that was pretty enjoyable, plus we really needed to see Sora and Kairi actually interacting before he disappears at the end. Limit Cut and Secret Episode were fantastic and it blows my mind that Osaka team really made a better data org and secret boss than Tokyo team with KH2FM. I'm very excited to see where the series goes next.

It's the second time I heard, but "Voiced by Dylan Sprouse" still gives me whiplash.

At 9:36 Wow. That must have been the first time reading Riku's lines...

I am somewhat disappointed by the first part of the Re:Mind story. I kind of hate the "dangling carrot" thing Nomura likes to do. It just comes off as missing parts of the story. If he wants to tease Luxord as being a mysteriously significant character for the future, that's fine. I think it could have been handled better. I do think the first cutscene with Master Xehanort was kind of hilarious, though. A few minutes dedicated to expository dialogue, since some people were a little confused as to how the New Organization was formed. Now all the necessary information is there. Was a little weird but I guess it works.

Mostly fantastic fights, minus couple of things I didn't like. 1- It's the same arena in every fight as you mentioned 2- After you beat them you can't farm AP Boosts or Magic, Strength, accessories, etc... because that was really useful in 2FM .... But overall I enjoyed most of the fights EDIT: I wish they didn't force the players to finish data fights because some people wanted to enter the secret episode first

The new fights are amazing but charging as much as they did for this DLC is a crime and a half.

The remind themes are already my alltime favourite game soundtracks they are so good!

I didn't even know the star cutscenes in the final world existed until the yozora theories started.

Wait, you’re telling me I could have just ran circles during Xemnes’s red laser barrage?!? I always blocked, rolled the blue lasers, then blocked again. Then rolled before getting blue lasered when the screen goes white...

12:40 *IGN has left the chat*

My personal opinion of this dlc. The new story stuff really should have just been a free update. This feels like what should have been part of the main game, but it was rushed to be released. Then they give you the actual end game content for 30 bucks.

People who complain about needing to beat Critical to get Oblivion need to realize that Oblivion and Oathkeeper function almost entirely the same. You really don't need both.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t enjoy the Mickey Remind scene. I didn’t buy into the stakes. The mechanics were too basic. It dragged on far too long. The dialogue was very heavy handed and cringe. I’m glad others liked it though.

3:01 I actually thought the fight was a lot more fun when you immediately follow up Reprisals with Reversal since the extra stagger lets you almost consistently get full combos on Saix

Thank you for pointing out the audio quality. This really bugs me. I am pretty sure the rehashed content was just a simple plot device to avoid forcing people who finished the game to play it again to see new content. I have a theory that in the future, they will release a final mix version on ps5 (which will contain main game + remind bundled in a way that will merge both content without any rehash).

ReMind scenario definitely should've been in the base game, but I would've happily paid $30 for the Limit Cut, Secret Episode, Premium Menu, and Data Greeting.

I really needed a video like this after NicoB's ReMind LP. Thanks, Biz.

Honestly, there was so much replay and rehashing of the original Org fights that I was worried that something had gone wrong and that I was no longer in the Re:Mind scenario.

The best part in remind is secret episode. I love yozora, i love his voice, i love his theme music, i still can't defeat him without damage

Honestly I loved the Mickey section. Yeah it was repetitive but for me it was just the right length where it didn't get too repetitive to me, and the whole time I was just in awe at the whole experience. It was so epic and so silly that its silliness canceled itself out that it became epic again. It was both exciting and hilarious, and that's the perfect blend of emotions for Kingdom Hearts to me.

I liked base KH3 a fair bit already, but Re:Mind puts it in the realm of 2FM for me. I still have some quibbles (like the new combo modifiers being unavailable outside of clear games/NG+), but overall it's fantastic value and it has some of my favorite boss fights in any game, ever.

DLC Plot Synopsis: It's actual garbage Except for the Yozora part, that part is fantastic and I'm genuinely interested in the KH plot for the first time in a long time

I feel like Remind Scenario was just the absolute minimal effort they could put in quell complaints about the base game, much like Critical Mode.

The orchestra was amazing too. Though I still can't wrap my head around the horizontal ride cymbal the drum set player had. The musicians we top quality and an extremely welcomed addition for any fans or orchestrated music, especially the re-orchestrated music from past games.

If I had to price tag everything. The story DLC is about $10. The extra additions are worth maybe $5. So really, it comes down to whether you consider limit cut and secret boss is worth $15. Personally, spending weeks dissecting the bosses is worth the price tag

I always appreciate your reviews-very fair, specific and honest! As for ReMind (and KH’s future): Overall, I really enjoyed this DLC. Like many, I feel the ReMind story scenario could have been a main story update, however I believe Nomura decided to make it a separate post-game episode so we wouldn’t have replay all of the (unchanged) base game. Even so, I think Scala still would be more effective as a final dungeon in the main game. Limit Cut: Oh boy... I guess it hurt in a good way to see some of our oldest KH friends for a few minutes, to explore Merlin’s house, and to have Nomura mock us via Terra (“you expected more?!”) lol The Data Fights are the true gem of this DLC. The music! As for the fights themselves...there’s nothing I can say that you can’t say better, haha. I had a lot of fun learning them. It’s bittersweet that this is the last time we’ll be fighting them properly. A very nice farewell to the Norts! As for Yozora, I think he was an excellent secret boss. Frustrating beyond belief initially, but once I learned where his openings were and how to stagger him, I had a lot of fun. I do think the fight relies a little too much on memory and anticipation over reaction. While this has its own kind of satisfaction, I’d like to see Osaka experiment with more variable move-sets in the future. The Secret Ending actually ties into my thoughts about the main game. Even after ReMind, I remain underwhelmed by the main story of KH3. Although I liked seeing the endgame plot points “ironed out,” my biggest hope is that we someday get a main story update. Even just ONE full-scale original world with a solid story scenario would improve the main game a lot! It’d give me a great reason to play with the EZ/Pro codes! If the team were to go back and expand KH3, it would be a show of good faith, and I’d be so much more excited about following/supporting the next arc. After so much work and heart went into making the game, KH3 deserves to be shown in its best form. Looking forward to future vids! Most importantly, everybody stay safe out there!

Nothing about being unable to get back to scala though? It’s a one and done area last I checked.

I wish we could've had the option to buy each segment seperatley ( remind , limit cut , data greeting )

Dark Baymax was horrible with all of the pro codes on.

After asking for this in a lot of your videos, I've been delivered. Thanks, man!

Yeah I was primarily excited for the Final Fantasy characters showing up again. FF8 is my fav and I JUST wanted to see Squa-... Leon again! I see a trailer for Remind... It has a bunch of voiceover dialogue from the FF characters! SO i'm excited to see them again!.... Turns out ALL of the FF dialogue I heard in the trailer was 100% of the FF character's lines... I legitimately felt Tricked. Couldn't care less about the hard boss fights. Thats not why I like KH. I'm glad those are at least cool for the people who like that.

ty biz, ive been waiting for your review since i watched you knock out marluxia for the first time. keep it up king.

Nice review. Personally felt the same with the Re:Mind scenario & really didn't care as much with the recycled boss rush and felt annoyed to do because I had to play to get to the good stuff Like the Limitcut Episode, I was also skeptical & admit was scared. But the bosses were amazing in every step of the way. I love how all of them: you really had to think and not have the KH2 mindset of dodge roll & act braindead. Some youtubers sure shown that mindset when they thought Master Xehanort as well Saix were badly designed and on par to BBS secret bosses like Vanitas Remnant or Mysterious Figure when really you just had to memorize patterns and see the openings. The redone music tracks were also a nice touch, especially Marluxia's, Master Xehanort's, & Xigbar's rendition of 13th Dilemma. Yozora is what you said-- an amazing boss as well. I really love how it basically did make you think outside the box and had an amazing array of ways to punish him. I love the music and made me think of how it is also a Versus XIII reference. Also big props to Dylan Sprouse for voicing him: personally the 2nd best voice for the DLC aside Christopher Lloyd being Master Xehanort. And Data Greeting is a blessing. Again nice review!

Idk how but when I replayed kh3 with the patch I somehow missed the Namine cutscene and I have no idea how.

9:40 it sounds like riku's voice actor is reading it off the paper for the first time no preparation just straight to acting.

Great review! I pretty much agree with everything you said in this video. The Data org, secret boss and (for me) the Data greeting are worth the price!

I thought luxord was badly designed at first until I realized that the fight doesn’t actually set up impossible minigames, they just require you to pay attention

Yes yes yes yes let's go, been waiting for this :)

Good fair review. The super bosses were enough to get a couple of weeks of content out of me (i only play a couple of hours every other day or so). I enjoyed it

How would you feel about fully fleshed our unique ability different characters as additional dlc for the game? Like Roxas but unique magic and his own ability trees, to do a whole play through as

Good review! I am currently doing a Critical level 1 playthrough of KH3, and although there are a few frustrating things and I’ve died well over 100 times (maybe close to or over 200), I’ve been having a blast. I haven’t gotten RE:Mind yet, but these Data fights look really fun! One thing that would surely make them more fun to me compared to the KH2FM ones would be the presence of basic defensive cancels as well as the ability to avoid Revenge Attacks on reaction.

Excellent review. Keep up the good work !

you want to see kairi kick ass? dlc you want to see ff characters? dlc should you buy the dlc? no

Not all 13 bosses are unlocked for me and idk how to fix it, I can’t find any solution online :(

awesome video as always.. Bizkit, if you had to put a number out of 10, what would it be?

I feel like at this point they would need to use DMC style inputs for moves, like holding back from an enemy for a launcher or holding towards an enemy to rush into them, in order for us to get back the days of Horizontal Slash and Upper Slash

There was quite a number of times when I was fighting Yozora, where he would start the fight with his desperation move, especially before I had beaten him for the first time, did this happen with anyone else?

I found it so cool that every data fight feels so different in comparison to 2fm. I think the only ones with new moves in 2fm data was data vexen DM and Saix DM.

hey, do u think the new combos are floaty?

This dlc only shows me that the next game Osaka makes is gonna he even better from the start and that just makes me so excited. They listened to feedback and gave us great new combos, fantastic new bosses & awesome new playable characters. So excited for the next KH game, whatever it is.

How can I practice the blocking and the dodging for the Org XIII fights? Let's "pretend" I'm a n00b and need to start from scratch (I really do suck at defending. I'm also prone to mashing buttons...)

One thing they still haven't fixed is the Console Crashing glitch in Battlegate 0. The glitch forces you to unplug your console and plug it back in since it won't let you manually shut it down since the game is basically frozen when it happens. I am not sure if the Guard issue is fixed though.

So what I'm hearing is that this DLC (specifically the Org and Yozora fights) is Osaka team's redemption arc.

I'm pretty sure that Square Enix has KZfaqrs like you to thank for the idea of the pro codes. What with you doing all those restricted fights back in the day.

i doubt i get an answer a year later. but the dlc says STORE VERSION ONLY DLC doesnt work with DISC BASED is this true? or is my ps store mis informed.

Is Squall still voiced by David Boreanez?

Q is kingdom hearts 3 remind same thing as kingdom hearts 3 secret video will I still fight yozora

You said that the bosses are hard to cheese, but do you think Links also fall into that, when you can use them to basically through boss's DMs and deal heavy damage when their hurtbox is exposed for a while? Noticed you didn't mention Links in this review.

The risk taker trophy alone made this worth the money. It really added a new element to the experience. Plus those data fights. Woah

This DLC made me excited for the future of Kingdom Hearts with all the endless possibilities of future games, especially a Verum Rex Game

14:13 "They made the battle level for the Org Members 102" This is the first I've ever heard of this. Any source on that info? I cant seem to find Re:Mind battle level stats anywhere.

Is it just me or does David Gallagher sound totally checked out as Riku? He sounded a lot better as Dark Riku.

Does anyone know if there’s anyway that you can access an old file to earn more money/food for an account that you bring to limit cut or the secret episode? Cause once you run outta items it feels like that’s it

Nice review, Bizkit could you do a tutorial for all 13 battles and Yozora? Just like you did for KH2FM

Also 1 big improvement for me is most if not all data and secret boss fight always teleport away when you hit their revenge value. And they design it so you can't punish bosses after the boss retaliate because they are aggressive enough to not get staggered for a while. I'm not a big fan of KH2 revenge value mechanic when most bosses will counter attack immediately.

I think that although it was a little dissapointing playing through the remind scenario compared to what we were thinking we'd get, it was still very much needed and more satisfying to play through it. It added some missing pieces of Kingdom Hearts back into it and provided the ending we all wanted. Playing through kh3 without that just doesn't give a full, satisfying experience.

You said in the video that kh3 didn’t have an equivalent to finishing leap and upper slash but doesn’t rising spiral and groundbreaker do the same thing basically?

Its almost as if it had a "RE:" as in Redo pretty much everything.

That thumbnail would fit perfectly to a Sora Boss Fight

Personally this DLC hit it out of the park. I really enjoy all of the data org fights and the ones I didnt like at first quickly grew on me. In addition to that I personally loved the re:mind scenario and got what they were going for by having people go through keyblade graveyard again as well as the new stuff the replica fight and everything after was all amazing to me. The Secret Episode was also a blast despite getting my ass kicked by Yozora repeatedly I still had fun and got the hang of his attacks he ended up being the first secret boss Ive beaten in the series and I didnt even need a guide despite being on Critical. Overall I was very pleased with the DLC Soras new combos are great the new story sequences were great and they managed to create some of the best super bosses yet I give the DLC a 10/10.

Clicked automatically when I saw the notification

I definitely enjoyed the pro codes and super bosses. Playing on crit with pro codes is great replay value. The actual remind story was a small bonus compared to that.

Wait, there was a cutscene with Namine's star in the Final World before it was patched? I don't remember that. Interesting, why was it patched?

Highlights for me were definitely playing as Kairi, the battle against Xion and Yozora. Only those 3 things made the dlc worth for me.

I have to give special shoutouts to that Xigbar reaction command that gave me DEEP KH2 vibes. I know serious players might not think too fondly but I honestly thought KH2 was enriched with how it used the reaction commands for awesome spectacle QTEs like those.

what's the point of doing a lvl1 run if you can deal similar damage to regular level runs?

I feel like the Terranort fight at 1:24 was intended to see if they were doing the design of the limit cut superbosses fairly well and correct.

sad you didn't mentioned dark/light/double form at all :(

Awesome vid! Can you do a vid on good and bad abilities for Kh3 like the one you did for Kh2?

Someone can say me what the time of free patch?

I loved the data battles i suffered😂 but truly loved them and i also loved the yozora fight hated it while doing it but it was actually a challenge and in the good way after u analyse his moves!

ReMind, specifically Data Org and Yozora made KH3 my favorite KH game. Had ReMind come out last year, it would have made KH3 my 2019 GOTY, but Jedi Fallen Order came out before it and that sealed the deal for me.

Am I the only person who wasn't that upset by the exclusion of FF characters? I thought their arcs were complete by KH2. If anything, I thought it made sense for them to come back just to help Riku look for Sora.

20:20 Which game journalists were you referring to?

The keyblade I main with is the added in the patch (oathkeeper)

I still liked the first half of the DLC I even enjoyed the guardians of light segment as goofy as it was (mainly referring to Mickey). But past a couple of hiccups onto the super bosses they were more than I ever could have asked for!! Still genuinely surprised on how well they pulled them all off. And Yozora is easily my most favorite boss in the series currently the build up, music, setting, and the fight itself are all so perfect it’s crazy. The update with the combat tweaks and new combo mods is great and really aids the boss battles. I just hope Osaka team can keep these improvements/level of quality up for future titles.
