    the re:mind scenario was pretty lackluster, the data battles are the bulk of the dlc and the most fun and the secret boss was pretty good, all n all - wait for a price drop.

    This review is based on the fact that this DLC costs 30€. This is a DLC that extends the original ending of the story of Kingdom Hearts 3 by adding a few scenes, and also adding some extras like secret boss battles.

This is a DLC that extends the original ending of the story of Kingdom Hearts 3 by adding a few scenes, and also adding some extras like secret boss battles.

    The story itself feels quite short and repetitive if you've played the original ending recently, as most of the scenes were already in the original game and are only extended. There are some new gameplay moments, some better than others, and some of them are quite good, even spectacular or memorable. But, as a whole, this DLC is not the big deal.

    This is not a bad DLC, but it is really overpriced. You can complete the history of this DLC in 5 hours, but take into account that you already played 4 of them in the original game.. A fair price, for me, would be approximately € 7.99. Maybe I would even pay € 10 or € 15 if I really wanted to keep playing KH3. But not 30.    … Expand

    So I've finished the entirety of the DLC now, the data fights are really good and are closer to what I would have liked from the rest of the DLC, so I'm bumping my score from a 4 to a 5. It's not enough for me to justify the price tag - half a new retail game - for ~10 hours of content, a lot of which is rehashed. What interesting developments are added at the end of the DLC are dwarfed by the myriad problems of ReMIND. This should be $15-20 for all that you're getting, and all of my issues from the original review still stand.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW:
    Simultaneously fills in the gap left at the very end of the game, explains some of the events, and acts as a slightly alternate ending? It feels almost entirely unneeded, as the events towards the end of the game felt like they stood on their own.

    It's disappointing just how much of this is recycled content. There are a small handful of new segments and they were fun on their own, but for the most part you're just playing the end of the game all over again and the experience wore me down.

    The new characters actually feel very good and were a lot of fun, it just felt weird rubber banding back and forth between my ridiculously overpowered Sora who melts bosses in mere seconds and the alternate characters having some difficulty with the fights.

    As of writing this I have yet to beat the secret chapter (Featuring fights 100x harder than anything in ReMIND), but this feels hardly substantial as a $30 DLC. It only lasts 4 hours, it's almost all stuff you've done before, and doesn't add much to the story. If you're coming for the story, just watch it on YouTube, but if you want the secret chapter I might wait for a price drop.

    Will edit this after beating the final chapter, hope that gives me a little more bang for my buck.    … Expand

    It's kinda a disapointment DLC, you replay so many of the original game, 80% of the story felt it was already on the game. The data battles it's very challenging and not for everyone, with level 99 and ultima weapon still is very hard, the secret boss is even harder. In short, not worth $30.

    RE:Mind is an alright DLC, but it's nothing particularly mind-blowing and mostly consists of recycled content from the final world of KH3. The main issue the game has is the price, as in my opinion what you get (two hours of cutscenes and a couple of old/new bosses) isn't worth the $30 price of entry.

    As mediocre as the base game tbh. Combat isn't improved, story is a garbled mess, it's just not good.

    Re Mind is fairly good DLC:. It adds a lot of things that fan have been asking since the game came out: hard boss fights, explorable Scala, more screen time for characters like Roxas, Terra ecc. and cutscenes which cover plotholes like Xion and Terranort's return.

    Re Mind is basically the Final Mix version of Kingdom Hearts 3, but the price is exaggerated: 30 $ for a boss-rush is too much, so, if you are not great fans of the saga, i suggest you to wait a price drop.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. KH3 ReMind is a pretty fine and decent DLC to have and it’s kinda overpriced wasn’t good or bad just pretty fine

    ReMind Scenario: Lets dive into this one the episode is full of new cutscenes and soooo many reused ones and cool playable characters and just a rehash boss rush the first 3 bosses were dark inferno phase 1er, Anti Rehash Aqua, and Terra-Xeharehash, then we face the organization XIII again but some slight changes like playable characters, new team attacks, and new cutscenes, I pretty much all find that awesome but not the bosses that we have to redo it ok now we get on to Scala they one add area you can explore it was pretty awesome that we can explore it now but the bosses were small heartless joke, Darkside, and Xehanort Replicas again then again in Keyblade Graveyard but with the Guardians of light the 2nd one was **** sick and Mickey was the MVP for it, then we face Goatnort again but with a Sephiroth DM and 12 Keyblades behind him, then after that we see the ending but with Sora and Kairi overall all of that should’ve been there to begin with so I give this episode a 6/10

    Limitcut Episode: when you enter the episode you get a cutscene with Riku and the way finder trio heading out to realm of darkness to find Sora then after that we get to radiant garden and see FF characters again if you hope they have a bigger role in this episode then you will be incredibly disappointed because they had small role cid was researching data to find Sora and Kairi is asleep, yeah moving on then we get the Data Battles these were incredibly fun and hard at the same time then after you beat all of them fairy god mother returns to tell Riku about his dream (AKA secret ending) and all that stuff I give this a 10/10 the data fights are soo enjoyable including the music

    Secret Episode: Alright it begins with Sora waking up in the Final World meeting Yozora then we get to Shibuya to fight him and it was sooo hard at first then I got use to it and won and that good ending I was like “WAIT LUXORD!?” And then the kh1 opening line with Sora and Yozora the two endings show Sora for good and Yozora for bad in the Final World so yeah I give this a 9/10

    Conclusion: Man the Secret Episode ending got me more questions about Luxord and Yozora and holy crap don’t know what to say now overall it’s a fine DLC is it recommended? Yes and No! Is it worth it? Yes and No Pros:
    New OSTs are fire!
    Playable Characters are fun!
    New Cutscenes are Cool!
    Data Greeting!
    Data Battles!
    Mickey!

    Cons:
    Rehash Bosses!
    Reused Cutscenes!
    More Questions!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The trailers really made it look like the Final Fantasy characters had a large part in this story, but really they have little screen time and almost no purpose in the DLC other than say that they'll help with the search on Sora. I went into this DLC knowing we'll be playing the last part of the game again, though I hoped it gave something more than just other perspective and a few tweaks on the final cutscene of the game. Don't get me wrong the ending cutscene is much more sad with the additional scene showing what Sora and Kairi did for all their friends then by the end Sora still fading away. Anyways, I think this DLC will be more appealing to the die-hard fans of the series, because by the end of the story you fight digital copies of the Organization XIII and the main end to the DLC is fighting Yozora, that might hint that he may be a huge part in the future of the Kingdom Hearts series. Overall it's not a DLC for a casual liker of the series, but great for the die-hard fans. I finished the story in less than 4 hours without even max leveling Sora, so imagine if you're playing a max leveled Sora with the Ultima Keyblade?… Expand

    I think the package is a bit expensive for what it offers. For 30 Dollars/Euros you get
    - like 3-4 hours of new story, which is recycling elements and bosses from the ending of the base game

    The package is all in all well crafted and the new renditions of the soundtracks are great.

    If you are not a big Kingdom Hearts fan who buys everything day 1 anyway, but still want to get new content and new bosses, I would recommend to wait for a price drop.

    I think the content is worth like 15-20$    … Expand

    Re:Mind could have been an additional world, or a new chapter to shorten the wait until the next game. Instead it’s more of the same, often literally so. A missed opportunity. [Issue#173, p.96]

    So is it worth it… well clearly I don’t think so. I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty, it sounds good and there is a charm to the characters… but the DLC really doesn’t add much to the main game and what it does add is kind of just punishment in one form or another. Maybe if you are a hard core fan and just want as much of this IP as you can get… otherwise, there are better things to spend your money on.

    Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind is designed for true fans of the series, being the Final Mix that fans were waiting for. But its high price, even for the most loyal ones, is undoubtedly its weakest and most critical point.
