I took Mzo's advice and started playing Birth By Sleep first. It's actually very addicting from a gameplay perspective. Building decks and melding commands into new ones feels a nice way to liven up the KH experience.
Unfortunately its also rife with the dumb animu story that KH has saddled itself with. Is 3D the same way? Fun to play but holy shit, skip cutscenes? Does it carry over any of the great gameplay ideas Birth by Sleep introduced? Or was the demo the extent of combat complexity, and the wannabe pokemon carry the rest?
