Which is better? RE: chain of memories, or Chain of memories

[calvinoddkid]

I only have chain of memories, not the remake.:yelling:
i think that chain of memories is a really good game and the side-scrolling helps you see and attack the enemy better:star-wars-smiley-02, but you can't use reaction commands.
tell me what you think.
thanks!!

I don't have the remake either, but you can't beat the graphics and controls on a Playstation game with a GameBoy game.

[Luka]

Yeah what LKX said

[Invader Jack]

I just voted for CoM because I've never played Re:CoM.:( Although it may not have the graphics of KH and KHII, it's still an awesome game!

[Gravity]

I'd say RE: Chain of Memories...just because I found using the Game Boy very annoying. The screen is too small, the movement is annoying, and the graphics aren't that great.

[libregkd]

Re:CoM by far. Better graphics, better sound, more cards, more moves, more boss battles, etc.

[Nagori]

I think I'm going to have to agree with everyone else... It's so much more easy to get into Re:CoM.

[Gravity]

Oh, and quick thing I forgot to mention: Vexen sounded weird, but not as weird as in the original. That's a major factor for me, as he scared me to death.

[khcrazy101]

i never had the remake at least i dont think so:laughing-smiley-004 and ima not a big fan of "Chain Of Memories" cause i cant get paast a part when u fight riku when u meet namine!!! i tryed like 50 times and almost won but i lost!!! why wont riku die!!!:guns: any 1 ever beat him!!! got any advice on how 2 him i wanna see wat comes after battleing riku! he always beats me!:star-wars-smiley-02.....sorry ima ranting AND WAT NOT:ranting: i had 2 keep poking my brothers :poke:2 try and beat him 4 me and they r like 15 and 16 years of age!!!som1 PLEASE HELP ME!!!

[libregkd]

Talk about going off topic <_<

[calvinoddkid]

HEY, "KHCRAZY"

u need to use LOTS =LOTS OF SLEIGHTS!!!!:bounce:
use "raganorak" ( if u have it) thats where u stock 2 zero cards and a 9 card and shoot laser stuff :guns: out of the keyblade.
good luck! :noworries:

[chronoxiong]

its not really fair to compare GBA graphics to PS2 graphics. you guys have to admit that Chain of Memories had very good graphics for a GBA game. the animation and everything was great. back to the topic, i would have to say Re: Chain of Memories is the better version. besides the graphics, it has more Cards, new abilities, and some more battles and mini-games. um, i thought that some Bosses in Re: COM were easier compared to the GBA version though. Captain Hook comes into mind for that.

[Skittles]

RE:COM,I like it better

[Nol]

Re:CoM's better, due to quality reasons, but I was very disappointed in the difficulty. Chain of Memories was already easy enough, but then Re:CoM just made things too easy (Genie Jafar works for Stocks in Boss battles, meaning Ars Arcanum spamming, Stop works too, so Lethal Frame kicks the crap out of every boss, etc.).

Ansem is just way too easy in the remake as well, whereas in the original he was pretty much the only somewhat challenging boss.

Re:CoM's overall more fun to play though, mostly because of the system change, and all the additions to an already great game.

[VideoGameNerd246]

RE: Chain of Memories ftw.

[*dancewaterdance*]

I don't actually own RE: CoM, but I think it's better than the GBA version. The graphics are very good for a gameboy, but there are a lot of things better about the Remake. For instance, there are Reaction Commands in RE:CoM (duh) What I don't understand is why they just didn't make it for the PS2 in the first place :huh: Anyway, I think the remake is better.

[Nol]

Nomura wanted people to be able to play KH anywhere, that's why he made it for the GBA.

[kinpaz]

I have played and beaten the GBA version but never played the remake. When I think about it running around in 3 dimansions using cards to attack would be a little frustrating. While doing the same in 2 dimensions was very fitting. My brother and I played KH and KH2. When we tried Chain of Memories he really sucked at it, but I saw no problem in it. I vote for the GBA.

[orgXIIIfan]

I like Re:CoM better.It had full voice acting,the Zexion boss battle,Vexen becomes lovable and the graphics are stunning.And the difficulty level is lowered down for n00bs like me!(I suck at Chain of Memories.Both games.)

I feel like the only person with a 500+ posts and still an unkown quantity.;-;

Why,God,why must I always be depressed?!

[Solid Snake]

personaly i like the english language and its portible COME ON!
CoM all the way

[Roxasfan Xman]

I say RE:CoM.

Better Graphics, cool sound systems, more like KHII then KHI, but with more added goodies in the cards.

Best of all, A new system for Riku, as well as the boss fight against Zexion.

[Mighty-Matt91]

I've never played Re:COM, but I have to say after looking at videos and gameplay, it has more stuff, which makes me want to buy KH2FM even more :P. Sorry for going off topic a little there. Anyway, yea, I think Re:CoM is better.

[Xigbar]

Re: CoM, the graphics are better and the plot line is better.

Yeah you have a good point....But still! Re:Chain of Memories!

[Xaphira]

RE:COM WITHOUT A DOUBT!!
Why:1)graphics ROCKS
2)Voices ROCKS:drool:
3)Battle system a lil easier because of the button and the screen...
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT??

[Ienzo]

I've never finished either games but I am well into the GBA version of it so I'm going to judge from all I've seen:
RE:CoM I would say because it's not just text on a screen they have voices even though they are Japanese.

[KATACHI IS KING!!]

HEY, "KHCRAZY"

is this the ps2 or gba version because i have the gba one and i can't beat the riku clone things.

[Hakurei Reimu]

I can only talk through experience so CoM.

[Slyzer]

I only have chain of memories, not the remake.:yelling:

:ff10sora:

This is the only thing I have to say: you can't compare a PS2 game with a Gameboy game.

[SoulSlayer]

Oh, I definitely prefer Re:CoM over CoM. I actually never beat CoM because... I just didn't like it. But Re:CoM was great. I actually liked it more than playing through KH2:FM, even though I got KH2:FM+ mostly for the bosses in KH2:FM.

[*Fairywitch*]

I voted for Chain of Memories instead of the remake because although its for PS2, its only released in Japan at the moment (I hope this will change ^^). Chain of Memories is in english so thats why I like it plus the first battle with Marluxia is more harder in Chain of Memories than in RE: Chain of Memories apparently

[Sora The Key To Light]

I say Re:Chain of Memories, because the Graphics, Voice Acting, More Memory SLots(cuz of the Memory Cards ^_^), New Boss Battle. New Cards, More Room in a Battle. Thats what i think of it ^_^!

[Repliku]

I voted for Re:CoM because it is a better system, the graphics are better and there's more storyline. It was hard to keep focused at times in CoM because some areas were kind of hazy and unclear. I'm not sure how anyone had trouble with Marluxia at all in CoM though. I waltzed through that and was disappointed in the boss battles with him because others before him seemed harder such as Riku Replica, Axel and Larxene.

http://ff-rpg.net/images/Replikufake.jpg

[Soulright]

I vote Re: Chain of Memories. It's true I do not have the game, but from what I can see, having the characters in full 3D with GREAT facial features is entirely incredible. Brings the characters personality to life and (Need I mention) I think Xehanorts Heartless was protrayed really nicely here compared to what technology could be done with him back in the first Kingdom Hearts. Same goes for the others characters and being able to experience what the first introduced Organization XIII members were like.

[KATACHI IS KING!!]

obviously Re: CoM is better. 3d, added battle, new moves and to top it all off the levels are probably longer.

[X-thor]

RE: Chain Of Memories FTW

[Xendran]

Re: CoM for sure! sure i only got it yesterday, but so far its better than kh2 by a longshot. Battle system is great, health bars are more fluid IMO, mroe moves, mroe cards, longer levels, it somehow managed to make me not despise being in the monstro level (which im just beating now). and the first tiem i fopught axel , it was EPIC!*



*Note: battle might not have been epic, but it was still sweet

[Skittles]

I'd say RE: Chain of Memories...just because I found using the Game Boy very annoying. The screen is too small, the movement is annoying, and the graphics aren't that great.

What Blivvy said!

[Twilight's Rose]

RE: Chain of Memories is better. Better graphics, better gameplay, better voice acting and better story-line and it has better action.

[Roxazthelight]

Actually Remake version is has new scene, new battle system, new limits, and more, for challenge, Regular Version is harder because this one doesn't have Card battle at Riku's story, ATTACK WITH UR OWN CARD

[Rainshine]

I've been wondering if Re:CoM is anybetter than the GBA version. Is it easier to mauver than in CoM and do the controls work differently? Also, are there any new things added?

[SӓiḺØr N.Ø.I.$.E]

i really havent played RE:CoM but i would think that its better only cuz its all better graphics than CoM
and there people talking


thank god -_-'

[11jones2]

i havnt felt like start it yet but it seems more cards some cards from final mix al lthe org XIII cards and more sleights

[Asterisk]

I found the GBA version more intense than what I've seen from Re:CoM cutscenes..

[Hexin]

I liked the GBA version of CoM. Now, graphic wise re:CoM Wins. Actually re:CoM overrules GBA:CoM. Of course with out GBA:CoM, we wouldn'y have the sprites sheets some need to create animations, Comicstrips, and other stuff.

So, they're both good in their own way.

[P]

I have not played RECOM, but I would only like it for the cutscenes. I have no wish to play the battle system, I am happy with the system in COM. I love that game...

[Shadows Of Oblivion]

Personally, I prefer Re:CoM... the original IS very good, but I HATE the Dodge Roll/Side Jump control... Maybe it was just me, but half the time, it just didn't work... Re:CoM's version is infinitely better, plus it just isn't the same looking at 2d attacks compared to 3d... and I love Lethal Frame (a new sleight added to Re:CoM, gained at Level 32)... Sora stopping and repeatedly slicing an opponent = awesome lol

But I digress, the better version (in my opinion, anyway) is Re:CoM... new sleights for both characters, new cards... I could keep going, but I won't lol

[Soxas]

I like both games Re:CoM and CoM.
But the thing that troubled me was the story...I played the games just for the storylines...
But the updated Re:CoM battle system was good than the GBA version.
But yeah what 'Hexin' said that CoM gave us the sprites and all of that....

[IceManFan]

I personally like Re: Chain of Memories because you can actually hear what the characters sound like than in the gameboy advance version of the game.

[Egypt]

I like both
I like COM (gba) because I can take it any were and it has unlimited cards space.
I like Re:com because of va, gf, more cards, it easier to dodge enemys etc.

[childofturin]

Now, while I have not played Re:CoM, I have seen the entire game played through on Youtube, and I do (or did) own the original (I gave it to my little brother for christmas). I personally would prefer the remake, simply for it's larger screen and better graphics (not to mention the fact that you can get clips of it for AMVs), although Riku's story seemed WAY too easy in the remake.

There is one thing, though, that makes the GBA version slightly better - an emulator. (Yes, I have a GBA emulator, but CoM is the only game I have for it, and I paid for the physical copy before giving it away). The larger screen size alone helps tremendously, and I can speed up the game slightly to make it more action-packed and speed up my attacks.

But I'm still gonna vote Re:CoM. The english version, of course.

[Naxius Inverse]

well ive never played it one GBA but im sure that Re:com is better

[Sonic the Hedgehog]

Re:COM is so much better in my case.It's 3D,voice acting,theater,good battle system.And I never liked the GBA version anyway.

[OakaTheXXIII]

Re:CoM cos of the cutscenes and the more space in battles
oh and the voices of corse : )

[KaiXIII]

Re:CoM Better Graphics FTW !

[Naxius Inverse]

i really dont tink that there is a competition Re:chain blows the original out of the competition

[The Other Side]

Eh. Re: CoM had the last battle. The third Marluxia fight. That really won me over. There were some scenes in Re: CoM that were just...embarrassing to watch that weren't too bad in the original. But Re: CoM has the 3D advantage and extra scenes. Replica Riku seeing Axel during the credits, Roxas in Twilight Town walking with ice cream, and the Organization...sitting down...>< Plus I like some of the new slights and cards. 8D I <3 Lethal Flame. xD

[Kme92]

Ps2 version cuz the handheld version was kinda small.
The gba version is still good tho :P

[The Joker]

RE: Chain Of Memories.
Reason: Quite simple. I believe they are both good games but Re: COM has better graphics in my opinion, some voiced scences, and playing it on a PS2 and on larger screen adds some bonus fun in my opinion.

[Wacko]

I personally think plain ol' Chain of Memories is better. Don't get me wrong, have voices in RE: CoM was great, but I think it's the only good thing about it.

[Zetris]

I say RE:Com is better. I've played both and the Play Station one is a lot better. I can't even figure out to put together the cards into those sleight things on the gameboy version. :(

[Zexion]

The Re:COm is better, because you can fight with Zexion with his unique technique

[Asterisk]

People are obviously going to say Re:CoM so no point having a one sided poll.I'm going to say the original, since it was portable and more difficult than the PS2 version.Graphics and voices were nice in Re:CoM but some weren't the same.

/Sad face.

[EvilMan_89]

both versions have things i liked. i don't like how the difficulty was HIGHLY watered down in the PS2 version. but i dont' like the fact that the GBA version......is for the GBA......

[Ṧnoῳ]

I liked RE:COM a whole lot more because:
1. The field was 3-D and not 2-D
2. Cheat Codes and Action Replay could be used.
3. The graphics were a lot better than COM

[Tikem]

I think the PS2 version is better and easier. Mainly because the controls are easier.

[RoxaSora2010]

Of course Re:CoM. Better graphic, better combos, fighting style, etc.

[Brisk]

It's a tough call for me. I got Re:CoM first when I imported Final Mix+ and didn't enjoy it. I just don't like the whole cards aspect of the battle system. So when they ported it to English, I still bought it but never beat it (I got to floor 9 or 10 at the most). The GBA game was good enough for me though. It was so much fun meeting the new characters.

[Kites]

Re: CoM. The controls on the gameplay are hard enough as it. It was super hard in the original CoM which I also have. But in general, the PS2 controls make the entire thing easier. Plus it's always good to see the CG and hear the character's voices.

[Charmeleon]

Once again, I go for the original. It just has that charm.

[Zeonark]

Both have their charms.

The Original may be hard but has a good challenge to it. Making it therfore more harder and challenging than Re:CoM.

Re:CoM for controls, Graphics, and Voice Acting.

Regardless, both need a frickin' Secret boss.

[DarkHeartlessWolf]

I like Re: COM because it's more challenging and you can hear the English voices of the Organization members.

[Akema_AK]

I've played both and i like the gba ver. more cause i could go anywhere and play it and ive only played Re:CoM in japanese so anger was involved

[keybladewarrioroflegend]

probably RECom. i liked the better graphics. but the GBA beginning and ending graphics amazed me. Square never ceases to amaze me. :D

[Lulus_Moogle]

I just like the playstation controls better - I find it easier

[libregkd]

Re:CoM is by far the more superior product. Voiceovers, 3D, added cards and sleights as well as added boss battles.

Though I find a few minor script changes to be a bit annoying (Such as Lexeaus no longer exploding trying to elimiting RIku, or how Axel killed Vexen executioner style). As wellas the elimination fo the Vs. mode. But these were tolerable changes.

[DonathanJavis]

The Re:Chain Of Memories version is better although, the card battle aspect isn't really my big favorite. Other than that, it's still a great game.

[Demyx_MelodiousNocturne]

Re:com! because i like the graphics and the fact that the organization had voices and stuff. thats the only reason i bought the game because i HATE the card battle system!
