In the Tangled world now.
So, wow.
I rolled my eyes with a smirk at the whole "re-create scenes from the movie" at first...but as the chapter went on, I found it actually really works!
It incorporates the Tangled story rather nicely into this game's context, to where as someone who's never seen the movie (I'm sorry, it's just not a priority), I ended up really getting into it! For example, it just makes sense that Flynn would just mooch off three dudes that saved him from monsters and proclaim them sidekicks, and Sora would just go along with it since he's way too nice a guy.
I admittedly started on Standard mode as I felt more comfortable for a game I've never played before (obviously), but I'm pleasantly surprised it's not THAT much of a pushover. Future playthroughs will definitely be on Proud though.
Unlike KH2, I love using all the combat options! I largely ignored most of KH2's with the exception of character limit attacks, but here, I feel more of an incentive to have fun with all of them! I am so so so SO happy that you get a higher jump through simple story progression, not through grinding. As it should be.
