Spoilers ► KINGDOM HEARTS 3 Re Mind DLC Spoiler Discussion Thread

[Zettaflare]

I laughed through the entirety of the Limit Cut stuff, or what I was able to find of it. (Also, Nomura, it's called an epilogue. Just call it an epilogue.)
Those lines between Terra and Riku. "Look at you." "Yes, I have become a full fledged character." "Then you have already far surpassed me."
Cid immediately screwing up the whole mission, and then when you talk to Aerith she's like "can we do anything to help." Like obviously not thanks for trying though lol. The Radiant Garden Restoration Committee, everybody.
The Kairi bit was definitely the best though. Are we taking bets on how many sequels she'll be asleep in the lab, "helping?"

She could co star with Sora next game. Nomura implied it in an interview today

I'm actually amazed how much I enjoyed and loved this DLC:

Spoiler Show

• While I think many of these scenes should've been in the base game, to begin with, I couldn't help but smile at so many moments; tons of fan service. All my negative feelings went out of the window during so many great moments and I do commend Nomura and his team's work on the DLC.
  
  
• I'm glad Young Xehanort wasn't possessed by MoM or something like that but was just given just some loose guidance; he still made his own decisions and was not under someone else's control.
  
  
• Don't know why Anti-Aqua was a thing again but whatever. All other bosses were great additions.
  
  
• Christopher Lloyd was freakin awesome! Took some getting used to but I think he did great.
  
  
• I'm glad Xehanort was not only still a thoroughly evil individual, but his evil was front and center rather than romanticized.
  
  
• The replicas battle and MX fight was easily my favorite part.
  
  
• I am so happy we got that satisfying villain death I always wanted from Master Xehanort, with the aid of all the guardians, without taking away from the base ending.
  
  
• Xigbar doesn't seem to be the cunning manipulator I initially thought. He's just trying to complete his role, but it was a very bumpy road. Pretty much everyone suspected him but MX simply didn't care since his plans were still progressing. Not sure what that says about Xigbar, but he sorta came across as a bumbling fool.
  
  
• The stuff with Yozora and all that, I've lost interest from a story perspective. Nomura clearly has some feelings lol. He says fans won't be able to guess what it all means, but I honestly think he himself doesn't know yet. But I can now at least happily move away from this series finally, instead of begrudgingly.

Plenty of more, but those are my highlights. I'm finally at a place where I'm very satisfied with the close off of this saga. Whereas I had to convince myself that I enjoyed the base game, while slowly coming to gripes of it being a disappointment to me, I am now genuinely and extremely satisfied with how this saga closed off and all the fan service.

Yeah, she is definitely poised to have a major role in the next game. This one for sure!

I mean who knows?

Spoiler Show

She could just leave her body behind to join Sora wherever he is. We've seen that before in other media

I vote Mickey's Last Stand as the best moment of the DLC. With how there's virtually nothing new in the way of Disney content, I legit didn't expect Square giving the old mouse his own moment of glory.

 

[U.N. Owen]

You can really tell where the money went into the superbosses. They're fun. They're challenging. They're outright insane with how chaotic. Special mention goes to Xion who is chaos incarnate.

 

[Noivern]

Spoiler Show

While I agree that Mickey's last stand was glorious, it's not like he was given nothing in the base game. He appears quite frequently with Riku, gets a new outfit for no reason, gets a new Keyblade and is among the Guardians of Light, which is way more than Sora's sidekicks have gotten besides Donald's random spell moment. By the by, the two didn't even feature in the DLC besides the extra help to beat Xehanort. lol

Yozora's fight is so damn cool. Also god damn Versus13 really hit Nomura hard.

 

[alexis.anagram]

-Everything was dumb.

I wish there was a better and more comprehensive summary to be made but, yeah. Goop.

If you don't care about superbosses you can pretty much ignore the WHOLE DLC and have the same experience by watching the cutscenes on youtube.

Honestly, the only way to experience it. Having the ability to pause and rewind, to just digest the state of things. It's the kind of debacle that needs a moment to sink in. I mean, I hope people who paid for it are having fun with it, but I also feel bad having seen how hard this was being hawked to fans. Vindicated, yes, but still bad.

I mean who knows?

Spoiler Show

Kairi will definitely have her one boss fight in KH Shippuden.

 

[U.N. Owen]

The best part about the DLC is Yozora saying that none of this makes sense.

And the FNC mythology finally appearing.

 

[Nukara]

No one will remind me how to hide a message under spoilers, for a year, I forgot.((

 

[Noivern]

Holy bleep.

Spoiler Show

I just watched the cutscene before the secret boss, with Sora meeting Yozora. That made me loose my mind.

1. That basically confirms the theory someone posted here some time ago that the Nameless Star wasn't actually Stretlitzia, but the Verum Rex equivalent of Stella from Versus. wow. And that means the one who told Yozora to save Sora was probably Kairi showing up as a nameless star for him. incredible.

2. His weapons. The way they are summoned are exactly like how Sora summons his Keyblade, except the Data-like particles arre red. again, wow.

3. It seems like that one isn't necessarily Yozora, but someone who Sora sees as him. Even more misteries.

4. Yozora's perception of Sora. It seems like he heard of someone under that name, but there's also the Star who told him to save Sora. Or that was just him being purposely mysterious.

anyway, I'm out of words, really. Gonna go dig up a video of the fight now to see how he fights.

But if true then that means

Yozora lost his heart and had it replaced by another person?

 

[Any]

Oh yeah, I was right about the nameless star thing

 

[Absent]

It looks wicked fun but I never doubted that. I knew story wise Re:Mind wasn’t going to change my mind. It made a handful of things more digestible but ultimately I still don’t like Kingdom Hearts 3’s story.

Can’t wait to play it while skipping cutscenes.

Yup. I do want to dick around with photo mode, but there's nothing about this DLC that makes me want it right away.

Also, did they like...make this model for the lols? Or is this another troll from Nomura? Does she not exist in this game or what? Granted the Radiant Garden trio proven to be a weak slot this time around...but don't tease us with shit like her, when you know damn well she isn't going to even EXIST in this game.

WHERE THE FLIP IS SHE?!?! > : (

She's in the story? She was present right after the Organization Data Battles.

Is anyone still comparing this to KH2's final mix? I'm guessing because there's no actual Cavern of Remembrance, KH2 is still better?

KH2FM had actual new content spread throughout the game ranging from new locations, whole new dungeon, cutscenes, keyblades, boss battles, new abilities, new form and recolors for all Heartless. Re:Mind is just asmall post game with new cut scenes and 16 (?) new boss battles (with only 2 of them being actually new and the rest just new fights for existing bosses).

2FM was an actual, proper revision of the original game. This one is more like what the original game should always have had in the first place. [/spoilers]

 

[Twilight Lumiair]

So to start, here are some other theories that were somewhat confirmed by the dlc:

1) The reason Ventus ran up to Terranort so many times (despite already being told by Riku that Terra was with the Organization) was indeed because of his "pure heart." Hence why he's depicted as so careless.

Also, it seems to be pretty much confirmed that "Darkness" is, if not Ventus himself, then someone closely linked to him (that's implied to not be Vanitas, since this entity was present inside Ventus before Vani was defeated). Oh what a joyous reveal that's looking to be, lol.

2) Xion was indeed brought back because of Vexen's "records", but no one in the true Organization actually knew who she was, or why she was so important. So it was almost like a total fluke that Siax inadvertently helped to bring her back, lol. What a waste.

3) Sora did interfere with the battle between LW and Terranort afterall. Why he did that? I have no clue. Not only did he not save LW from being utterly obliterated, but he couldn't even beat Terranort, lol. It was a completely meaningless effort that only made things worse.

4) The theory that Vanitas was something hidden inside Ven that Xehanort extracted is also seemingly proven true. However, Vanitas flip flops his stance on the truth of his "nature" a LOT in that scene, so I'm personally taking it with a grain of salt.

I'll post my issues and more general feelings later, when I've had enough time to properly formulate my thoughts (and there ARE a lot).
