Instead of giving us what we really want (a true sequel to Kingdom Hearts II), we're instead getting a remake of a 2004 Game Boy Advance title. Normally, we'd complain (more), but since Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories isn't looking like a typical half-hearted remake, we're actually excited about reshuffling this card-based action role-player. Wanna know why? Glad you asked: Here are five reasons why Re: COM is better than the original".
Kingdom Hearts is a monolithic franchise that needs little introduction. But the beloved franchise almost never was, being developed as a gamble that two ideas could merge into something great.
Kingdom Hearts had these potentials with really deep atmospheres, then KH2 happened with the overwhelming weird informations and different people with tbe same enitity thing. It became overcomplicated series and never explaining anything in one release. Overall it is weirdly structured. Moreover, it is advetised to have Final Fantasy and Disney with original characters. Now it is all about versions of Sora/his friends and on other hand the versions of Xenoheart/his XIII thing.
Literally didn't even care to buy it, 3 was a bug filler as a whole and the dlc is overpriced.
KH2 is a huge improvement over the first. With that said now that I think on it more it completely lost the charm that the original established. The mix of Disney and FF could work, there's a balance that can be found to give it it's own identity, but they went full stupid.
There's something so good, just really good, about seeing the Disney villains sitting at a round table plotting evil things together. I think that the balance was found in the original and they just threw it out the window with CoM and then ran it over with KH2.

Following the release of 1.5 + 2.5 on PS4 recently the developer has attempted to minimalise the hectic timeline with a rather amusing result.
