What's not to get?

 

Oh, well I knew that. I meant what don't you get? Or where are you? I'd be glad to explain, but maybe you don't quite understand it if you haven't played the first game yet.

 

I don't want to be rude, but here's my experiance. I played CoM first and understood everything that was going on. Now after discovering the other games, it seems like less sense.

It's perfectly fine you don't get it, it's just Square-Enix way of making a bit of money in-between games in the series.

 

^ I didn't like COM at all. It's just a cheap spin off.

 

How come you have Marluxia in your Avatar then? XD
Anyway (on topic), I liked it.

 

CoM wasnt a spin off...

Without CoM KH2 would not have made sense...

 

Great point! It is also why most of us KH players don't know half of the stuff going on.

 

I have to admit some of the best org characters made their appearance in COM. lol

 

The Game...

The game itself makes sense to me, but for me it was like a movie to Kingdom Hearts 2.

 

I think it make sence It gives ya cules about kh2 thats about it mostly but yea.

 

it definitely makes sense and u also get to see the other organization XIII members and get to see wat there plan waz and how they r related to the whole entire thingie ^.^

and u get to see wat happened with riku also and who namine is and stuff ^-^

i agree with the ppls who sed that chain of memories leads u up to wats happening in KH2 ^-^

 

Lol!!!

Exactly nyaaa.

 

It is basicly just a optional filler between KH1 and KH2. The fact is he forgets everything in Castle Oblivion at the end, so he starts blanc in Kh2 anyway.

 

it was just a filler to set the story for number 2

 

Actually, I have no idea how anyone actually understands KH2 if they missed CoM. I Thought the story in it made perfect sense. As far as story goes, I think KH2 is the weak link in the series. It's not that the story is bad, it's just poorly handled and badly paced. It's like SE had all the great ideas, but for some odd reason didn't put enough thought into stringing them together. Not to mention that CoM sets up KH2, but the game never goes into it. There are scattered pieces of info in the journal, but not enough in my opinion.

I think CoM is way more than filler. If it wasn't for the cards, it'd give KH1 a run for it's money.

 

If you want the quick answer skip to the bottom:
I dont have CoM and i was really confused with what was going on at the start of kh2. But then i put it together. I have to say though that i do think CoM was a rip. No voices and really poor graphics. Why on earth did they make it for GBA? At least if it was for PSP or something it would look better and have sound. Even though i have a GBA i missed CoM because it was such a small release. It was so rubbish. Plus when i played it (eventually) round a friends house i found the characters just lifeless lumps of pixels. No emotion or anything.
In short I HATE CHAIN OF MEMORIES!

 

its not to bad but they didnt talk.

 

I've always found that people put way too much stock in the cosmetic quality of games. Are your minds really so closed that you can't enjoy a game without superior looking graphics and voices? Whatever did you folks do back in the SNES days? OK, I admit, as an audio geek I love how much better sound quality in games has gotten. I love how there's the ability to do voices, realistic SFX and real orchestral music. Indeed I place sound way above graphics, something I don't think many other people do. But it still doesn't affect my overall appreciation of a good game. I thought the voice acting in FFX sucked in most cases, but it was an excellent game. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time looked and sounded horrible. Hell CoM has more voice acting than Zelda did. And you know what? It's still one of the greatest games ever made and always will be.

Ya'all really need to learn to appreciate a game for it's important factors: it's story, it's gameplay, etc., and not for the stuff that is nothing more than cosmetic application.
