Re: Mind was definitely a director’s cut of the finale of III with the main draw being the new playable characters, who should have been playable all along. Mickey and Kairi are slightly different cases since they’re both part of huge set pieces that are legitimately part of a different perspective than SDG’s battle. But pretty much everything extra that happened in Re: Mind up until Sora goes to Scala should’ve been in the base game.
Since Re: Mind is largely a replay of the finale and taking away the Keyblade Graveyard portions makes it so much lighter, here are some things you could add. Make Lingering Will playable against Terranort, maybe add a sequence where Yen Sid goes god mode on the endless hordes with Donald and Goofy, and add some other scenes like Xemnas throwing Kairi to Master Xehanort. Or bring in the Final Fantasy four to aid Yen Sid, Donald and Goofy in battle? I dunno. But nothing I saw in Re: Mind until Scala couldn’t have been in the game.
That all said, I would not be down to only be able to play through Melody of Memory until I beat Yozora. He took me from March to November, dammit!
