[Multiplatform] New Kingdom Hearts Project(s)

I'm looking foward for the DS game more than any of the others. The cellphone doesn't appeal to me at all, and I'm not buying a PSP just to play that game that doesn't interest me as much as the DS. I have grown attached to Organization XIII, and I will enjoy seeing the characters being expended a bit more, especially since many seem to have played such small parts, particularly the ones only introduced in KH2.

I do hope the gameplay doesn't reolve around touching the screen at all, unless it's for things such as menu's, etc.

As for a convorsation stated earlier, I never played CoM, though I have seen many of the cutscenes on it, but I will say I have grown to hate Sora in KH2. IN KH1, he wasn't bad at all and seemed like a fairly decent main protagonist. Yet, he simply annoys me in KH2. I'm unsure how I feel about his CoM persona. KH1 was a fun game, and I will admit KH2 did throw a lot at people since every other minute there's a new cutscene (it gets extremely annoying after playing the game 2 or 3 times, though for many even the first run got annoying with the constant cutscenes), and basically the gameplay for KH1 was a lot simpler to control, while KH2, even though I feel I handle everything almost perfectly, was much more complex (many of the attacks/skills don't even make sense.) The difficulty of KH1 was also fairly difficult since it was much harder to dodge things, and Curaga seems way too significant in KH2, though that could also be because of that leaf bracer which was in KH1 FM. Another thing I will say is I strongly hate what they have done to Sephiroth. He's only a mediocre challenge around level 4X or 5X, but he's a joke otherwise. The whole storyline bit was also extremely dumb, and hearing people say his name so often killed whatever specialty the mentioning of his name had. I don't know how to explain it, but I hate hearing his name in this game, I can't think of a better term than using other than it sounds dumb. Also fighting him in a clear bright sunny day wasn't good imagery. In the first KH, you fight him at night, and in Advant Children, the version in which many of the KH2 FF character designs were based on, was fought in the day, though he (I know this might be a wrong term, but) summoned a slew of rainclouds, thus making it appear much darker, which was still just as acceptable for the imagery. Though fighting him in the day with his pathetic not-sounding-dark-evil-or-maniacal-at-all was a turn off. Let alone after the battle you can talk to him normally with the triangle button, and watching him repeat his innocent talking motion over and over basically killed whatever decently "cool look" he could have ever held in this game. I will admit, I was very dissapointed in KH2 the first time I beat it, though I later enjoyed it more when I realized how much I enjoyed the concept of Organization XIII. They're probably the best thing to happen to the game (KH2), which is probably why I'm mainly interested in the DS game.

I know this isn't about KH2, but I wanted to say that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I simply wish they stayed on the PS2. These handheld games do not and cannot hold the same experience it could on a Playstaion.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Has there even been any official confirmation that these will be released outside of Japan? Aside from Coded, it would suck if they're Japan exclusive.

358/2 Days is the main game I'm looking foward to.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Awesome, thanks for the vid. Can't wait till these games come out, mainly the DS and PSP ones.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Question:
I've seen the names Xion and Shion given to the 14th member. First I saw Xion, then a few updates later it became Shion. Which is the real one? Xion would obviously make more sense. Though it's a shame that, well, you know: ZeXion.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Argh, no Final Mix? It's very good news to hear that they're releasing Re:CoM in the US. Kingdom Hearts is one of very few games where I can praise the English Voice actors. The English VA's in KH2 were amazing, so I'm hoping the same for this. But argh, Final Mix+ would've lasted me so long. I'm hoping they include it, but just like, haven't said it yet. Or else I might be tempted to buy the Japanese one anyway and be stuck with two Re:CoM's. Darn to the price cost, though.

Thanks for the update, Kairi.

How ya doing, buddy?

Aren't you supposed to obtain extra cards or something by completing certain events in KH2FM? I hope they somehow include those, even though it's not likely.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.
