But then you won’t do stuff like this

I am gonna be so honest, original GBA Chain of Memories is better than RE:CoM, wish that version was more accessible.

If it came to gameboy advanced on Switch 2 I would hop on that ASAP. But I’m grateful that RE:CoM exists because stuff like attack bracer isn’t interrupted compared to the OG when using sleights

Most people don’t like that you have to customize your deck and use cards to have an advantage while progressing which I do understand. But I think to me it exists so you can play the game in whatever your playstyle is the best to go with. Many choices as you keep going

Once I found out about Sonic Blade last month, I had so much fun. Just back to back giving me an overwhelming advantage

The more you level up and unlock abilities (+ cards) the more tools are at your disposal 🕺🏻

Oh yeah, once that ball started rolling I finally understood how fun it was. So many options, learning to use different strats on bosses. It was very fun

I still find it strange how they bothered to remake that damn GBA game. But with 358/2 Days (the DS game) they took a sleep pill, and only remade the cutscenes for Final Mix, whatever that collection is called.

most first time playthroughs of com don’t look like this because people don’t understand addition 😔

I think what sham means is if this combat system doesn’t work for you don’t have to force yourself play it right it away. Most people who play com for the first time won’t customize the cards to use these abilities sadly. I played com after 2 and I learned to like the combat system once I figured it out fully during a second play through. I really like the story beats and is probably one of the darkest KH games with how the organization interacts with sora and riku besides that I skip all the world cutscenes lol.

I think people who dislike this game just dislike card based Combat I like it if it's good which is the case here clearly The main game is giving you a lot of room to experiment with while reverse rebirth is testing your knowledge by limiting your opinions completely

A true fan wouldn't skip Re:Coded

I know the bosses hate to see me coming once I get lethal frame

yeah but the cost of learning a battle system that doesnt come up ever again just isnt worth it i will never forgive the fact that this game which could easely have been a cutscene collection and 358/2 needed to be the real game in the 1.5 collection

Is this the peak chain of memory fans are talking about

You can also abuse Lethal Frame…because of how lethal it is xD

So so many invincible frames

I've always been kinda surprised I haven't seen an indie game borrow from this one or at least the map mechanics Well I guess there's blue prince now, but for the longest time bfore that

PEAK OF MEMORIES

Get cheesed fucking idiot lol

That was my strat for most bosses after getting jafar card lmao. Personally think the combat system in recom and com is one of the best card game mechanic Ive ever seen, broken but somehow feel balanced, and most importantly, fun! 😆

Your missing his point, hes just talking about NEW players getting into the series Its just too much of a barrier that isnt explained well/intuitive in Com Better for a new player to come back after they've been hooked on the series.

Man Chain is so stupid fun once you start experimenting and let loose. Zanteskun a boss to the point they cant attack anymore, the enemy cards, counterplays. I wish they make a spiritual sequel to the mechanics

Im doing a proud 80hp run atm and i might need to add ars

It’s worth it with attack bracer

My last thoughts after beating it was "never again" story is good gameplay is just not fun to me

You are right. I didnt do stuff like this in my playthrough.

I never did understood the Chain of Memories gameplay as a kid. It got too difficult at a point, so I stopped every time I tried to play it. Maybe now that I’ve grown up and have access to walkthroughs, things’ll be much easier to understand.

hold on, why it is the cpu not countering the sleights, unless that I'm misremembering the gba version on that part ah, ok I forgot its because of Jafar's card

Too many people deny themselves from witnessing Sora's true power.

I’m sure we’ll survive

He did say first time players... not experts in Kingdom Hearts. Let them play before introducing Re-CoM.

My problem is going from KH1 to a game that *looks* like KH1 and plays nothing like it

As much as I prefer GBA CoM, R-chain can be fun too

There’s literally no fun in this

So that's how I should have played this game...

There's something so therapeutic about whooping riku's ass with ars arcanum or marluxia with Ragnarok

The combat is alright but the whole card RNG system for opening doors is straight up bullshit
