Yeah, that's right. A tiny bit of combat was shown outside the tower, from what I remember. Also, Yen Sid has become a very important character, especially as a mentor/instructor for Sora and Riku. I just hope that the world itself is expanded more, rather than just being a tall tower and a small grassy outside area.
Hey everyone, I just updated my latest post in the "Question Regarding the Soundtrack" thread in Re: CoM. I answered my own question and clarified why I though there was a "new" version of Forgotten Challenge in 1.5.
