I haven't seen any threads on this game so I thought I would start one.

I bought the game last week and have played it a couple of hours a
night.  I'm up to about 20 hours of play time and my characters are
around level 24 or so.

The gameplay is in some ways like KH1 although tons of bells and
whistles have been added to the game.

The biggest thing I've noticed is that there are less random battles
but far more "choreographed" battles than in the original game.

I won't give away any spoilers here.
