KH games are pretty much a button-mash-fest anyhow, so I imagine simply lifting the wiimote would trigger some sort of outlandish keyblade-glowing-goofy-spinning-donald-magicking-mickey-giggling combo of death. GAME OVER
(Press the A button? Kingdom Hearts unlocked, etc) |
Don't forget shaking the nunchuck to summon Rikku.

Birth By Sleep TGS fansubbed trailer
358/2 fansubbed trailer (shortened,, only 1 min long)
Personally, I wish people would provide downloadable links. Square is so gonna get Youtube to crackdown on these videos. Wait! Speak of the devil, here's one! http://www.sendspace.com/file/xglvkj Jump Scan of Xion http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...i/TGSjump2.jpg Seems like both games have 3 main characters that seem to parallel with Sora, Riku and Kairi... |

Kingdom hearts games are great!!!!!!!!
though i wish everytime these great games came out they wouldnt come out on different gaming systems..... |
Surprized no one bumped the thread about Re:CoM. Anyone end up getting it? I got mine and the cards inside despite not preordering. I already beat both sides of the story on Standard, and I'm replaying through Proud making a save file before each Organization battle, including Riku IV.
|
Holy fuckballs. Re:Chain of Memories is the most boring game ever.
EVER |
I got it, but I never liked the card system to begin with, I got it with the sole intention to watch the cutscenes that will be unlocked by my husband. :P
I gave up the GBA version 2 hours later back when it came out, and just read the script off gamefaqs. Still, it is an improvement over the GBA title since you can now actually lock on the enemies. |
Haha yes, CoM was very tricky. You are expected to pay attention to your cards, your enemy's cards, card values, any sleights they're planning, any sleights you can do planning, AND to run around and dodge the enemy at the same time.
I got my ass handed to me by Hades, after I overused sleights. After learning from that, the only other time I was beaten down was courtesy of Riku Replica, third battle. I'm quite bummed that the PSP game is going to have cards as well :x |
I didn't have any huge problems with the original CoM, but I can't beat the game again for some reason. Always had an easier time with Riku's closed deck system, anyway.
|
Oh? Even when you're forced to fight the Replica with a deck where the [0] cards are spaced out? :3:
|
Yep. I mean, I was playing the game on my GBA Player, so I had a bigger screen with which to watch my cards. Made shuffling through the deck easier.

But it's not. Everything that I've read says that it's SORTA like the card system, but without the cards.

Strange, I never minded either version of Chain of Memories. Of course I do enjoy KH2's battle system more, this game was pretty much anti-button mash unless you have an extremely good deck. Also it required some strategy, which some people just aren't used to. I just wish so many people weren't used to button mashing so much, as the only three bosses that are known for giving people trouble in KH2, Demyx, Xaldin and Xigbar, are the only anti-button mashers out there. And Xaldin is possibly one of the easiest Organization battles aside from Xemnas' first form, just people were too dumb to realize you can't just run into him.
The above statement excludes FM+/Critical Mode. Oddly enough, I never lost to Riku IV once, though lost to Riku II on Standard and Riku I on proud. It seems, compared to the GBA, that the stun when an enemy gets hit lasts a lot longer, meaning they can't break your sleights. I've pretty much spammed Sonic Blade for most bosses and killed them using that tactic. I'm thinking of, after I get a save file for each Organization battle, to defeat them using no sleights. I'm not realy much of a fan of No HP+ since it just requires more and more sleight spamming, making random battles harder than boss battles. Although it can teach people to dodge some sleights. My final data for Sora: HP: 260 CP: 900 (Standard) / 925/950 (Proud) Also, I never heard that about BBS. While I don't mind the card system in CoM, I really like the freedom other KH games have, just as long as they can make the bosses challenging. EDIT: *200th post* |
The Re:Riplai DVD is out, meaing good quality trailers and gameplay videos for the DS and PSP games. Gameplay on both so far is solid and smooth. Quite impressed that they managed to have the KH2 battle system work on a DS.
Birth by Sleep is from the older Jump Festa 2008, while the DS one is the recent trailer from this year's TGS. Meaning we get to see Xion from the DS game, but no Aqua from the PSP game. Lame.... Watch them all here. Kingdom Hearts Ultimania - KH Re:Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days & Birth By Sleep |

Wayne Allwine the voice actor for Mickey in the Kingdom Hearts series and various other Disney films/shows has passed away on May 18th at the age of 62, due to complications for Diabetes.
May he rest in peace. Whether or not he has recorded for the DS game is debatable, but I doubt he has done any voice work for Birth By Sleep. The man has done great work for years as Mickey, and it is a sad day to see a veteran voice actor that brought so much joy to me as a child gone. |
All these spin off games sequels/prequels, whatever you want to call them, confuses the fuck out of me. I can't understand this story anymore, it seems to be getting more and more convoluted.
Is there some place that explains how these games link to the original two? |
The DS game is a "Mid-quel", happens between the first two main games, just like Chain of Memories. I don't know if it happens simultaneous to, or before/after CoM.
The PSP game is a prequel. |
And, of course, the one on the system I don't own (Birth By Sleep) is the one that I'm most interested in. But hey. More Shimomura music is always a good thing, and then I can guess at what's going on at the end of KH3 because of musical themes (I completely misread what the usage of Dear Friends in the the final boss music meant last time).

The DS title, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, takes place during the year that Sora and co. were asleep in that white pod, meaning it takes place right after Chain of Memories, and before KH2's prologue. It was during that time that Roxas was recruited into Org XIII and started doing missions for them, and the story is about what transpired during his time in the group and what made him decide to leave. Birth By Sleep, the PSP title, takes place about 10 years prior to KH1, and its about the old Keyblade masters. Terra, the brunette man who seems to know the original Master Xehanort. Aqua, the blue hair girl, and Ven, who resembles Roxas. Mickey will also appear, though his outfit will be more monochromatic (to show it takes place years ago) and he is still in training with Yensid. The story revolves around three Keyblade apprentices in search of a missing Keyblade master, Master Xehanort, and his apprentice. Maleficent is believed to be the main antagonist; she causes a great disaster which results in Master Xehanort and his apprentice's disappearance. Hopefully this means KH3 will be a proper sequel. But we won't hear a thing about that game till FF Versus 13 is done. |
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Platform: Nintendo DS Genre: Action RPG Players: 1 (2-4 via Wireless DS Multi-card Play) ERSB: RP Release Date: 09/29/09 MSRP: $34.99 KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days | SQUARE ENIX From the spoilers I've seen, the story gets interesting in the end, and it also makes good use of the dual screen for certain parts of the game, where gameplay and story collide. This is also the first time I am not gonna play the import of a KH game, since the release date isn't too far off. From the E3 trailer, the localisation is as solid as it was in the previous games, most of the VAs are back. |
