I'll start by saying fragmentary passage, the new game included in this collection, was everything the fans were hoping Kingdom Hearts 3 would be like. It's gorgeous, movement and attacks are so fluid now it's breath taking just to watch. As for the story and where it all connects, it's got a fun little place right during the events of the first game, towards the end of the original to be exact. But all in all the story is pretty inessential to the series, bar the last cutscenes after you finish the game. These scenes lead directly into Kingdom Hearts 3 it's sets our heroes on their courses I assume we will be playing in 3. Now the second game in the series Dream Drop Distance, now this is as essential story wise as and if the numbered games. Game play is similar to birth by sleep but with a "flowmotion" gimmick also you collect these Pokémon like creatures you train and that's a whole thing. And last but Mot least there was the movie, Bkack Cover. It was definitely the weakest link. I can't say for sure but the movie may have been better had I played the app it's based on. I had the sense that we were supposed to know these characters. Though the story was messy once you work it out, it was decent it had very interesting characters enough for me to watch it all from start to finish. A character that stood out to me the most was "Master of masters." He's hard to explain he's funny but also very mysterious. I loved him, I hope he shows up again in a future game.
