What is Back Cover?

[Forsaken Shadow]

I'm probably the only one that's a bit lost as to what Back Cover actually is.

Is it meant to be a replacement for X/UX? A way to familiarize the story with those who haven't played the game, the way the Days and Coded movies were? Or is it a completely different story altogether?

Completely different altogether. It's gonna tell the part of the story that Chi and Unchained will not. It'll probably give expository info like stuff about the Foretellers, but from what we've heard, it's gonna be less "collection of cutscenes" and more "cinematic movie."

Back Cover is not meant to replace X/UX, but instead it gives a different perspective to the players. While X/UX focus on the players perspective, Back Cover shows the Foretellers side of things. Audo did an information compilation about II:8, and this is what is said about BC:

The newly remastered title also features:
-KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi] Back Cover (movie)
--A new HD movie that tells the mysterious story of the Foretellers, connecting the earliest parts of the series' history, showcased in the upcoming mobile title KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ[chi].

So yeah. If you have other question connected to Back Cover, you should check out the info compilation thread here:http://forums.khinsider.com/kingdom...we-know-about-kingdom-hearts-ii-8-so-far.html

Basically, it's different altogether. More information is given as well as added things. But the story itself is the same.
