Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories(DS)

Anybody have this game for the DS, and/or played it before? I have a DS, but my parents won't let me buy any games. =\Is it worth getting?

Dont Buy your Games Buy the DS Thingy then DOWNLOAD the games and play~!

Chain of memories is a GBA game and i would say wait till december and get the PS2 version

This game was absolutely fucking AWFUL. Stay far, far away.

the game it self was great expect that damn battle system sucked! I wish the PS2 version was coming out with the regular battle system.

I don't know what people's deal is with this game. I liked the battle system, as it was something different from conventional Kingdom Hearts game play and needed a bit more strategy (it becomes apparent in the Re: Chain of Memories version) and the storyline offered up a bit more in depth information on a lot of stuff as well as opening up new doors.

I love the storyline but I hate the battle system.

Why? I want to know why everyone hates the battle system. They say they hate it, but never offer up any reason for it.

thats the whole reason right there. the battle system was turned into from something that depending on how you fight you win into something that is up to luck. I really don't want to fight a battle that is up to luck.

Up to luck? Are you serious? The cards aren't luck at all. If you know what the hell you're doing, you can form a strategy with the cards. 0 Cards always go at the top for me to break Sleights from the enemies, and then it goes from 9 and down to the lower cards. Cures always go at the end so I can shift past the reload button to heal myself when necessary.

There's nothing about luck in Chain of Memories, because you don't just draw random shit at all. The Moogle shops are random yes, but that's the only thing about it. The battle system has nothing to do with luck, but skill with how you build your deck and the knowledge of knowing how to actually use it.

I always got bored in the Night Before Christmas place and stopped playing.

You should try playing Re: Chain of Memories. The updated graphics make things a whole hell of a lot more interesting and the fact that all the characters have voices give them more life.

What's Re: Chain of Mem? Is it still for the DS?

It was for the GBA, and Re: is for the PS2.


I'm honestly surprised America is seeing it. We never get these sort of things.

Orly? I shall check this out.

Re: Chain of Memories is remastered in PS2 graphics with Japanese seiyuu and a few new battles, though they only exist in Riku's play through, I do believe. The Japanese version is a lot better and it comes with Final Mix+, so it's a must have if you do plan on getting it. The American release is inferior to it, in my opinion.

I keep hearing about this Final Mix+ What is it?

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ is basically Kingdom Hearts II in Japanese with additional scenes added that reveal things about Roxas and the Organization XIII that weren't included in the original English version and there's a special scene in particular showing Xemnas going to some special room hidden beneath Radiant Garden that shows him sitting in a throne and talking to some disembodied suit of armor.

It also adds new boss fights against the Absent Silhouette, which are the shadow versions of Marluxia, Zexion, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Larxene in the final forms they died in during the events of Chain of Memories. In Radiant Garden, there's a new map called the Cavern of Remembrance that has Level 99 Heartless and Nobodies and in the final room are thirteen portals that let you fight the Level 99 versions of all the Organization XIII members (including Roxas.) In The World That Never Was, you fight Roxas after the cutscene of him appearing in the Memories' Skyscraper.

The last thing they added was an extended ending of the three armored Knights fighting a bald old man with yellow eyes and a Keyblade wearing the same outfit that Xehanort's Heartless (Ansem) wore in Kingdom Hearts I and you fight the armored Knight in the middle, named Terra, in the same canyon where the Secret Ending took place.

Wow. Not a WORD of that meant anything to me. I only played up to the giant fatty in the town square of KH1 and never touched KH2.

I should probably go get those, but I is broke. Hmm, Ima need to see if I can pick up a copy of action replay and just hack my PS2. All it does is collect dust anyways.

why didn't they bring the Final mixs to the USA

Too busy with FFXIII and FFXIII Versus. Also probably KHIII

Because the Japanese people hate us, that's why. They didn't bring either of the Final Mix's to the US because it's a better way for Square Enix to make money with people importing shit from Japan.

It prints money.
