But it almost seems like the remakes in the KH series are really meant for people who have played the original versions of them, and not necessarily intended for newcomers. For me, seeing as I have either played or watched or essentially know the entire series, ReCoM is my choice because it further establishes the world of the series. ReCoM completely ruins these reveals, whether they be story reveals or like the thing I just mentioned about waiting to play as Sora. So not seeing or playing as CGI Sora until KH2 (I won't even bring up the voice acting difference if you play KH1 and then ReCoM) is much more suspenseful and then rewarding when you finally get behind the wheel, so to speak. Obviously, story wise it is the same Sora but like the player to game connection is different. Even though you play as him in both versions of CoM, it is not the Sora we know, but a small sprite version. Fight, fight, fight!" You have no idea who it is until he says, "You know, Axel." He takes off his hood, and you're like, "Yo, it's Axel from Chain of Memories!" Same with Namine the first time we see her in KH2 (besides the opening cinematic) is from far away, and then a close-up of her mouth, and you're like, "Wait, is that Namine? Shit, that's totally her." A similar idea comes from playing as Sora. Like, imagine you're playing KH2, and Axel enters with hood up, "All right, Roxas. So, when we meet them in KH2, it is like meeting people that we've "heard so much about." We don't really get introduced to them unil KH2. So, yes we meet Axel and Namine and the cloaked figures and DiZ but they are in sprite form on this small screen with no voice acting. By its very nature, the game was more understated in that all you had access to visually were sprites and GBA animations. We meet these characters as their fully realized iterations before KH2.īack in the day, if you played the games as they came out, you HAD to play CoM on the GBA.
#HEARTS VEX CARD GAME PS2#
We see all of the characters in their fully CGI (albeit PS2 graphics) form, we hear their voices, we know this world. Also it has better graphics - it's a fully realized version. ReCoM seems like the obvious answer my friend already technically has it on his copy.

But my question is: which version? GBA or PS2 (or, in this case, PS3)? But as he approaches the end of the game, my concern becomes: what next? I am currently getting my buddy who is a super casual player to play Kingdom Hearts and he digs it! He's still on the KH1FM on the HD remix.

I haven't been playing video games much in the past few years, but Kingdom Hearts always has a special place in my heart. Hey, everybody! So, funny story, I haven't posted in this forum in like 4 years but I have been brought out of retirement because I have a question and there seems to be no opinions on the matter anywhere on the Internet (shocking).
