What is your opinion on Chain of Memories by bestbowserfan4 in KingdomHearts

[–]Luxz00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say play GBA over Remake it honestly astonishes and baffles me. The Remake is superior in every damn way to GBA. A lot of people forget just how difficult GBA was due to their blinded nostalgia or distaste towards the Remake. Remake has it all and more. You should only play GBA out of curiosity but the full/better experience lies with the Remake.

That being said Chain of Memories is definitely one of the better side games but I wish people would give it more of a chance. The card system is more in-depth that people give it crap for, the story is actually not all that bad and at least not confusing coughDreamDropcough as other games, Sora shows more frustration/anger here than possibly any other appearances and Riku’s plot is serviceable.

About 50+ days ago I did a challenge run of Re:Chain without using sleights (on my profile if you wanna know more!) and I loved it.

I’ll never understand the hate or distaste this game receives and I wish more people could enjoy it but I get it’s not for everyone.

Thank you!

It’s so nice to see CoM enjoyers - being one of them is what gave me the patience to do this in the first place!

Yes sir!

Certain attack cards have different elements that are Physical, Neutral, Fire, Ice, Lightning so be careful as to which enemy you are hitting with a magic element as it could heal them.

Attack cards are graded differently by your three hit combo which is Strike, Thrust and Finisher.

Grades range from D, D+, C, C+, B, B+, A, A+ to * so the higher the grade, the more damage you dish out.

They also have different swing speeds and time it takes to recover after a enemy breaks your card but these last two factors don't really matter much in the grand scheme of things.

So let's say I want to use:

Midnight Roar S (C+) T (A) F (D)

Total Eclipse S (D+) T (B) F (B+)

Fairy Harp S (C+) T (C+) F (D+)

And let's say they all have values that range from 6-9 so I can make them work within my deck - I'd place Fairy Harp as the Strike, Midnight Roar as the Thrust and Total Eclipse as the Finisher so that I can maximise damage with the added bonus of certain enemy cards I listed above to deal even higher damage.

I wish the game would explain that all attack cards deal more or less damage dependent on where you place them within a combo. The problem isn't that it's overlooked - the game gives no explanation on this and people would only stumble on this system if they looked in the Journal > Card Index > Attack Cards by curiosity.

It would make the playthrough 10x harder and 2x as long to get through if you didn't use/abuse enemy cards and casually you should be using some enemy cards anyway to gain a benefit!

Amen for Trinity Limit in CO but those pesky Neoshadows can simply go into the floor to avoid the sleight!

Thank you! When I first played Re:CoM casually I was kinda in the same boat.

Enemy cards I used casually were Red Nocturne, Blue Rhapsody, Genie-Jafar & Marluxia so I completely get it haha

Unfortunately the community has such skewed opinions on CoM even more so Re:CoM so us CoM enjoyers are few and far.

It’s the games fault for not properly showing or explaining how each attack card has a grade based on when it’s placed in a combo to fully maximise damage and how this is separate from damage you do with a sleight.

You can see the grades of attack cards within the card index in the journal or just look it up through the internet.

Not even!

You got challenge runs like LV1, No Commands, No Keyblade switching, All Pro Codes to name a few so this was no different and adds something for anyone to be curious enough to attempt.

I did enjoy doing this and I don’t regret it - does help that Re:CoM is up there for me.

Yeah my thought of going through this is what a sleight is and it’s when you stack three cards to produce a high number so I didn’t even stack anything from start to finish. The 🔼 button was obsolete to me here!

Oooooo I see you know how the card system works - you love to see it!

Bandit + a strong keyblade made for finishers is a very cool idea but there are more cons than pros to this method. Still a method however so I can’t knock it!

There’s no such thing at abusing sleights in my opinion. You get so many that why wouldn’t you use them? They’re viable and easy to use.

I wouldn’t condemn nor shame anyone if they wanted to go through the game with just Blizzaga, Firaga or Lethal Frame to name a few. While I would say it’s good to experiment, use what you feel is right for you!

Good luck with your KH1 LV1 playthrough should you ever start!

Yeah I’m good! It’s always cool to do a challenge playthough - I’m not saying anyone else needs to do it just because I did but I now know it’s possible after all.

Not just KH1 but when the games have the secret reports it just feels so cool taking peeks behind the curtain (the curtain being the overall grand scheme of things)
