It’s a really pretty sequence that deserves being noticed. Without spoiling anything (check out my in-depth analysis of all things to come in Kingdom Hearts 4 here), there was great effort made in the secret Limitcut episode, which is only accessible if you’ve beaten all of the data Organization battles in the Re Mind DLC. I was able to casually beat the maingame in four hours using the pick-and-choose handicaps, but that was with skipping cutscenes. If you want to experience Kingdom Hearts 3 purely for the story, then the health and magic auto regen features are made for you. In the new ultra-easy mode, you can turn on a one-hit-KO option for all enemies, including nearly all bosses. There’s a new handicapped mode available via the DLC that makes powering through the maingame a cinch. It’s a relief that we won’t have to learn about the protagonists’ whereabouts in yet another side game then again, was it worth experiencing that condensed story in this slim DLC offering? Either way you look at it, it’s not a good look. Outside of Sora’s time in the land of sky and water, Riku serves as the vehicle to get us all caught up on what’s been going on in the real world. In true Kingdom Hearts fashion, the DLC plot was confusing, full of time travel shenanigans, and was delivered in enigmatic philosophical monologues about “darkness spreading to the heart.”

When it comes to the SoKai plot, it felt more like shipper material, as it contributed little to the overall arc of the series, and presented little new information. While we know that Sora was successful in saving Kairi, the Re Mind DLC details how this happened (sort of). The Re Mind story revolves around Sora’s quest to save Kairi’s heart after Master Xehanort brutally slashed at her back. The new story cutscenes are sometimes hit, but mostly miss.
