Completing Chain of Memories is a royal pain. [o ________ o] Stupid cards and ridiculously impossible to summon enemies!

Are you playing the GBA or the PS2 version?
The Organization members in Re:CoM are a pain to beat. >.>
Unless you're ridiculously overleveled, the best way to deal with them are decks full of sleights. Constantly using Blitz and Sonic Blade will stop the boss from being able to react. Having an Elixer card also helps in order to bring back the card that was lost when using the sleight.
There's also Lethal Flame, which is ridiculously broken. xD

GBA version. I would like to get Re: at some point, but I wouldn't be able to play it, since my PS2 is missing a cable, and a PS3 is not likely to be happening anytime soon.
They are? Good, then. The only members I had real trouble with in the original were Marluxia and Vexen.

Yeah, they're really tricky in the remake. @_@
But then again, I'm playing on proud mode so it may be due to that. xD

Nomura gave some information about potential new KH games in the 358/2 Days Ultimania book (spoiler warning on the interview): I hope it's the Riku story that he mentioned wanting to do in the past. On a somewhat different topic,
The fact that he doesn't seem to want to use it is pretty noticeable, but the reason for it is kind of obscured. I thought the animation itself might have been broken at first, but it quickly became apparent that Riku's arm wasn't completely motionless. He's got that white wrapping on his left wrist that looks like it could be related, but the wrist itself moves fine. He tends to keep his thumb in his pocket, and I almost thought that was just a quirk of his that made it look like he'd gotten hurt when he was actually okay.
However, it turns out he actually does have a reason for keeping a constant hold on his pockets - his shoulder's injured, and he doesn't want it to move around too much. In one of his idle animations, in fact, he kind of tries to throw it back into place, but it floats back down where it was.
The reason for this can be found in the Final Mix+ scene where Riku fought Roxas - Roxas hit Riku hard with a Keyblade, and while it wasn't obvious where Riku got hit, it makes sense to assume that Roxas got his shoulder. Since Riku immediately took on the form of Ansem, he never got it fixed - and, apparently, Kingdom Hearts didn't really care to fix that when it gave him his body back.
Gotta feel bad for poor Riku. T_T971 |

Gotta feel bad for poor Riku. T_T971 wow, that's really interesting! Both the interview and your discovery about Riku. I hadn't ever put that together before. Poor guy. D: And I would so be up for reading Riku fanfiction :3 |

I hope it's not a Riku story. D: Since we're already getting three side games I'd be happier if we could just get Kingdom Hearts III once Days, Coded, and BBS are out. xD And about Riku's arm, that's really interesting. I always wondered why his arm seemed so limp in KHII  But that explains it pretty well. =P |

D: Since we're already getting three side games I'd be happier if we could just get Kingdom Hearts III once Days, Coded, and BBS are out. xD I've taken to reading any statement by Nomura relating to future games as confirmation, even if it's written in terms of "maybe" and "possibly." Here's how he discussed the current compilation before it came out, for an example: What platform does it look like the next game will be released on?
Tetsuya Nomura: “Hmm… Probably a hand-held platform. Right now we’re working on titles for the PSP (FFVII Crisis Core), Nintendo DS (This Wonderful World) and for mobile phones (MONOTONE), so I wouldn’t be surprised if it were on any of those platforms.” He did something similar with the potential stories, which is where I got the Riku idea from: So, let’s talk about this new story, which doesn’t have Sora as the main character. What sort of story will it be?
Tetsuya Nomura: “Well, I need to start with the story depicted in a Birth by Sleep. Aside from that, there’s the story of how the King found his keyblade in the world of darkness and other things like that. Myself, one of the things I most want to do is to give Roxas more of a role to play. I think it would be interesting to flesh out more of the year he spent between his birth and disappearance. Or making Riku the main character, and writing about his desperate fight while Sora was asleep, and things like that. You get the impression that Riku summoned Roxas to a place of shadows, and that Riku is a master of shadows, so I would like to give him more exploration in the game.” Not sure how much 358/2 Days would overlap with a potential Riku story, though. =P Besides, I never said I didn't want KH3 right away. I just figured that having it put off was inevitable, considering the way Nomura was talking. >_>; |

XDDD I think this is the second time I've posted something late at night, and later gone back and thought it didn't happen. Ahahaha I'm so pathetic. If you want to interpret it as a request, though, I won't stop you. =D *hasn't read KH fanfic for a while and misses it* This also means that I mistook your second post for your first post and haven't actually read it yet *goes back* Seriously, get it together, Elcie -_-; |

Oh dear. D: This place isn't very lively. But do not fear! For I bring you tidings of great joy. BBS NEWS! So apparently a Lilo and Stitch world will be included in Birth by Sleep. ^_____^ There aren't many details as of yet, but I'm still pretty thrilled because Lilo and Stitch is epic. =D |

So most of you know about Birth by Sleep all ready. The Debut Trailer that shows all the fighting is epic. Well today, Friday (well not technically Friday anymore) a new trailer was released. New TrailerI only know of the Gametrailers video, so I linked that. This shows game play, shows the 3 main characters up close, and shows some of the stages. I really wish I had a PSP now... |

IGN has a few new gameplay videos for 358/2 Days showing Wonderland and Olympus Coliseum. Roxas is so adorable when he's being sarcastic... and Xigbar is a total jerk to him. XD; |

But that explains it pretty well. =P
