Everything Right and Wrong With Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

- Before Kingdom Hearts 2 came out, Square released a game for the GBA that not many deemed important enough to check out, but as it turns out, it was the first of many side games that contained relevant plot points about the “main series”. Being on the GBA meant that it was severely limited; so it was eventually remade for the PS2 and included in the remasters. General reception of both versions appears to be mixed with people either loving it or hating it. Me? Well, you’ll find out soon enough.

I don't think I can view cards the same way again after this game. Anyways, how do you feel about Re:Chain of Memories?
Chain of Memories is definitely one of the weaker games in the Kingdom Hearts series due to its poor design choices, no doubt about it, but I wouldn't necessarily pan it as one of the worst games ever created. On my seven tier scale from S to F, I would give it either E Tier (Bad) or D Tier (Mediocre). As for my rating from 0 to 20, I would give it a 7/20.
Re:com is not my favorite kh game, and I haven't even f8nshed kh2 yet, so so far, re com is my least favorite. Also, you are welcome for the 358/2 days cards
Honestly, I hate it. The card system was a bad idea. I mean, it's different, but not in a good way. Also, the 0 cards? They're way too risky. They break any attack, BUT the enemy can just immediately break it after you break their attacks. Also Captain hook? Screw that fight. All in all, I'd give this game a 2/10.
@@christhenerdyderg3916 When converting that to a 20 point rating system, that is a 4/20.
@@greninjamariokartpokemonfan yeah. I mean, I guess the game is okay in a way, but let's be real, the cards in general suck
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories? More like Kingdom Hearts Sticker Star.
Sounds like a mobile game Squeenix would make.
@mooniera2810 it's honestly the best way I can describe this game. If you liked chain of memories, you will LOOOOOVE paper mario sticker star.
Can't wait till you get to dream drop distance there is so much mechanic's that never get explained
"That design choice that limits my combat abilities; yeah that's limited by *blank* too, which only increases after *blank*". "And let's say you don't wanna deal with all that, right?". "The cards(stickers) all do a set amount of damage-- no real sense of progression; you just get more cards(stickers)". "--Because get this; cards(stickers) aren't just used in battle--". "Both options are a waste of time, but at least one's a little faster". "And here is the absolute worst part about the cards(stickers)". I know I'm not the only one who noticed Tony's rant about the card system may have been inspired by Charrii5's rant about Paper Mario Sticker Star's Sticker system. Whether that was intentional or not, I don't care enough to comment on it; both rants was both necessary and fun to listen to 😂
Fun fact: Axel is voiced by the OG voice of Maes Hughes in the Japanese Version
He did a great job as the character, may he rest in peace
Just hearing your description of the game sounds mortifying. I definitely hope you get a well-deserved break after trudging through this. A fair tip when you do decide to play KH II, the Tutorial goes on for about 30-45 minutes when playing NORMALLY. Guaranteed, that’s a pretty well-known factor in the KH community, but I’m just warning you in case you’ve (somehow) managed to avoid spoilers.
Sorry if I sounded condescending when I wrote this, I’m really not trying to if I did.
For the enemy card farming, you get a small chance for one to drop off the last enemy you defeat in battle and it will always be the card of said enemy
There are 3 cards that increase the odd by quite a lot, almighty darkness teeming darkness and looming darkness
Chari is a dad, I give up understanding him, I have nothing to say anymore, this explains his delays on CZcams.
I have beaten this game multiple times , lethal frame is my life saver.
I am so glad someone else gets it. This games core gameplay feels so restricted for so long. It ruins the whole game for me. You explain it way better than I can. I am currently trying to 100% it and I am gonna be so happy when I am done.
I wanted to complete all the games I could before KH 4
Also wanted to say for the Tigger bounce mini game. A notepad and pencil/pen is enough from what I can tell from what you showed me is he jumps rather slowly.
3:11 THIS IS LITERALLY THE BATTLE SYSTEM FOR PAPER MARIO STICKER STAR!
6:43 And THIS is literally the Paperize ability from Sticker Star also replace map cards with Thing Stickers and you can see why people hate that game and its battle system 🤣
The GODDAMM Parasite Cage fight was what made me rage quit this game in the first place. And keep in mind, I was playing on EASY MODE.
4:59 man that sounds like a SLEIGHT annoyance.
HAH!
Okay, that was a good one.
41:39 You're right. Paper Mario: Color Splash was better. Paper Mario: Color Splash is also overhated like Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Mario Party 9, and Mario Party 10
Nice Video Bro 😊😊😊
Am I the only one who was actually fine with the card system in Chain of Memories, considering that both Disney and YuGiOh got me into this series?
Seriously, this was my first game into the series, and to be specific, the original GBA version.
12:25 if you think it's tough normally, try it with a 1 card deck.
You're guaranteed to suffer indefinitely.
Sup? anyway, I saw charis new video and I noticed that he's married but you said you still live with your families right?or am I remembering wrong? anyway, this makes chari older than you right?
I do still like the game. But i can understand about the whole card system thing not being good and i can agree with that. But tbh im surprised you didnt say anything about Vexen, Axel, and Larxene can be healed if you hit them with the magic that they are using. I learned that one the hard way.
I learned about that myself too, and it didn’t bother me because it felt natural. Fire user is immune to fire. Ice user is immune to ice. Like, that makes sense.
Thats true. I also felt like the game could have been better if they give it more time on the whole card system thing and some improvements here and there. And i also agree with Marluxia boss fight and Larxene being annoying in general.
You are going to HATE Paper Mario Sticker Star. Also this reminds me of Charrii5's vid of that game
Hey Tony, question, is sinning a video game the same as reviewing it?
In my case, yes. I'm pointing out what I view as problems with a game's story and gameplay while also giving praise to the good parts. In other cases, well, they tend to differ. GamingSins and GCN are kind of reviewing games just in a mostly negative sense. Dartigan is in denial, and Charriii... Well, Charriii is Charriii.
3:47 The same Moogle that was a playable character in Mario Sports Mix?
Maybe? They all look exactly the same.
I gave the OST a listen and yeah, Re:CoM's OST rearranged the MIDI tracks of KH1, only with real instruments instead of soundfonts.
Also, Rikuplica doesn't have a heart. He's a copy made with Riku's memories, but nothing more. Namine releasing his true memories did briefly incapacitate him, but he got back up.
Interesting.
5:14 This is going to sound stupid, but I think I just heard you getting Discord notifications very faintly there.
I don’t hear anything.
@@tonysonic456 I think you can hear it a bit better at 8:36. I don’t know if that’s just me or not. But I do hear some phone notification sound effect there.
Haven’t completed the game yet. Currently I’m after the first Riku replica fight and the game is okay. I got used to the card system and the story is pretty good but man the boss fights suck! They’re either unfair or so easy. The boss lineup is way worse than the first game and it really brings the game down.
Edit:Finished Sora’s story and overall I do think that the game is okay. The cards is good and even though it’s not perfect, it’s a different way to play the game and I like it, the story is great in my opinion and though convoluted,I loved the characters and the story and even though it’s a bit repetitive, I’m happy that they attempted to make the worlds a little different but the game isn’t perfect, even though it’s a little different, It’s still repetitive to go through the worlds and the card system does have problems which I won’t mention because you already have and the bosses are still horrible! I had to use a guide to beat the late game bosses! That shows how horrible the bosses are! I will give my overall thoughts when I beat Riku’s story but currently the game is okay.
Hey, could you do everything wrong with charri 5 ddlc
Cool
This game has a better plot than the mimic
I see what you did with that gameplay rant at the beginning.
21:13 This is going to sound stupid too, but I don't get your Edward Bear joke at 21:13.
Edward Bear is actually the name Pooh originally went by when he was first introduced in a story called When We Were Very Young made in 1924. He adopted the name Winnie the Pooh two years later.
@@tonysonic456 oh. I never knew that!
Oh boy
After this, you'll review on 358/2 days, right?
Or not?
@@hamzaimlali661he will it will be a while
I can tell rechain was a pain to complete
Rikuplica? did you use the name that "he-who-shall-not-suposed-to-be-named-in-this-chanel-again"did? did you also saw his terrible KH videos and his convoluted way of explaining things?
Maybe I borrowed it and saw a couple of those videos.
I call him Repliku. Rolls off the tongue better.
