(This may have slight spoilers if you have not seen much of Kingdom Hearts. I highly recommend you understand the story of the first game before reading this. That being said, I will not reveal major characters or huge plot points. I may warn you the same way through future titles in the countdown. Otherwise, read at your own risk)

(Another thing I want to point out is there is another part of Chain of Memories called Reverse/Rebirth. After I finish that game, I will post the drawing of that hopefully at least by the 21st. So stay tuned!)

This story continues from the previous game. Sora, Donald, and Goofy continue their search in hopes to find Riku and King Mickey. They come across a mysterious place known as Castle Oblivion. As they enter, they face with an unknown figure in black. He warns them of the fate that's in store. He says as such, "To find is to lose, and to lose is to find." With the warning in mind, Sora and co continue forward and learn what they lose to find are hidden memories. Sora even learns he not only did he know Riku and Kairi...but someone else he seemed to have forgotten. He must push forward, fighting heartless and new enemies along the way, in hopes to learn of the mysterious person he sees in his lost memories.

So......I have mixed feelings about this title. I remember my mom got us the ps2 version of re:chain of memories. Because I was confused with the battle system at the time, I kinda gave up on it. It was only until I finally got back to kingdom Hearts in late 2015 after learning how important many of the games were in the narrative. So, I worked up the courage to try it out, and managed to play all the way through.

This game, in case you don't know, has a card system (in order to swing a Keyblade or set some heartless on fire, you need cards). The gameplay is a mixed bag for many, it just really depends on who you are. Do you hate that it gets repetitive? Do you enjoy the fact that it makes you think on how you customize cards? I'll leave it up to you guys. I am somewhat in the middle myself. While I enjoy the gameplay just fine, it is not a system I would want to go back to in awhile.

The biggest issues I had with the game is mostly the boss fights. What annoys me the most about the bosses is that a couple I fight I have to several times throughout the game (seriously, whenever I play this, I was never looking forward to fighting them). However, if there is one I actually enjoy is the final boss. I will leave it at that, but I'll say it is mainly because the design and aesthetics are just neat.

As for what I liked about it, it was the story honestly. I think, out of the side games, this one is the most simple. Is it still convoluted in it's own way? Of course it is. However, this shows Sora being at his most emotional out of all of the games in the series. I also felt the goal of the story is straight forward. Especially the fact it takes place in one location that has multiple floors. I even enjoy the villains residing in the castle. They are just incredibly entertaining to watch (at least a good handful while I the other half are just really annoying LOL).

That being said, those are my thoughts on, at least, re:chain of memories. I like to point out, I only discovered this game after learning it was a direct sequel to KH1 when I played KH2. I did hear the chain of memories on the gameboy advance is a lot better, aesthetics and gameplay at least. However, that has yet to be seen when, one day, I'll be able to experience this myself. Till then, it's a B- for me.

(ARTIST NOTE)

I just realized I did not add one after a couple years later since I made this post. So, I decided to update my older work because like my KH1 poster, I had to fix one of the shoes. I also wanted to change the title font. Both times, admittedly, adding the title was the most difficult. Not exactly my proudest before but I think this time it should be better....hopefully
