Also I want to say that I'm immensely grateful that the subtitles are immediately on as soon as you begin the game. Because Donald is incomprehensible with voice acting.

Was 2004 the 'turn videogame franchises into cards' era? I just recently started replaying PSO Episode 3, which turned the series temporarily into a turn-based tactical grid battle thingy (with cards naturally).

Since I haven't said this, I'm gonna go ahead and toss out that I'm super looking forward to this LP because I was a dumb kid when I played it and also a dumb but not-quite-as-old me when I went through the game again some years ago. Still thought the dialogue was pretty decent so you know I'm in a bad place.

I know very little of KH beyond 1. Somehow the rest passed me by.

Same for card games. They were banned from my high school for being EVIL so I just never got into them. :(

Because change
Timeline is:1 into Chain of Memories into 2 into WHO CARES because the story got so hosed up and complicated that only that retard Nomoura knows anymore and he's too busy snorting all the crack from this cash cow he's made to make 3.

Also I refute the game being trash, it's perfectly serviceable as long as you ignore the entirety of the retarded story in it.

When Tetsuya Nomura snorts cocaine, it's in the form of a zipper.

GIS "magic: the gathering heart" (without the quotes). Curse of the Pierced Heart, Golem's Heart, Dark heart(sic) of the Wood have a heart or heart-like thing in the art, at least in certain iterations of the cards.

I do. Only consistently good TCG out there anymore.

This game's battle system is actually really broken if you analyze it. I once beat this game without ever increasing my HP. Turns out the game is ten times easier if you do that. What kind of sense does that make?

I don't get why people are down on this game so much. You do combat using an entire deck of people and objects trapped in miniature Phantom Zones! What's not to love?

Also, you can just shove your friends into a card when you're sick of them anytime you want.

The game just wasn't fun to play, especially on the gba. It's boring and repetitive and really only Kingdom Hearts fans would actually put up with it.

And say what you will about the plot but back in '04 all we knew about kingdom hearts was in the first game, Nomura was good and could do no wrong, and pants with more than 3 sets of zippers where cool.

I'm still in the "pants with more than 3 sets of zippers are cool" phase. God help me, I love this dumb series.

I haven't played this game, so I'm definitely looking forward to Kingdom Cards

Both the remake and the GBA version received positive reviews, although the most of the acclaim was in regards to the GBA version's presentation, with many finding its combat system unwieldy.
And this is why you need to actually read the content of a review instead of just taking the score at face value (see also: Ghostbusters 2016 reviews- the ones I read had good scores but came off as lukewarm endorsements). I play video games for the gameplay, not for the presentation.

Maybe if they made this into a Heroclix ripoff it would have been better.

And good God I forgot how boring this game is, it's the only KH that I ever quit and I don't even regret it.

To be fair, Donald was probably thinking Axel is some part of Sora's subconscious, or the metaphysical representation of his medulla oblongota and wanted to avoid Sora from causing his own braindeath.

Or Donald is an idiot.

Also, all the talk about slightly different expressions of the boss cards just made me think of this.

In between helping out Sora, Donald is reliving his time as a Navy SEAL. The memories of all the people he killed for America, and all those who died under his command still haunt him and make it difficult for Donald to take another life, so subconsciously he was trying not to kill Axel but save him instead. And yes, Donald is the one who killed Bin Laden.

You get used to it. I don't
even see the code. All I see
is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...


It's really weird that they recolored some of the Heartless bosses (the armor was different colors in the other LP, it's purple here) for KH1 Final Mix, but then didn't recolor them for Re:Chain of Memories. And then they put them together into 1.5 Remix, and still didn't change them..........even though they're on the same disc???????

The armor was originally purple in the normal non Final Mix KH game so that's what they went with here.

I was kinda hoping that' they'd take the opportunity to fix some of the problems in the GBA version here but I guess that didn't happen. Like bringing out Donald and Goofy- who are extremely useful now that they don't have health bars to lose- having a charge up animation for some reason.

I hope we go to the Pride Lands so we can ask why we got Simba and not the much better fighter, Nala.

I also hope you guys get specific about what things you think could've been done better with this card system as the LP goes on.

Also, who else do you think will be a summon, people in this thread?
