Posted April 30, 201510 yr Which KH game, originally designed for a handheld, is your favorite? Edited April 30, 201510 yr by Lu Xun
April 30, 201510 yr I'll admit, the only handheld game I own is Coded, but I've tried 3D's demo and I own 2.5 ReMIX, so BBS is under my belt. Re: Coded has my favorite gameplay mechanics in the series with how Keyblades work alongside the Overclock system. The fact that it has the command deck also makes it special to me, since that was my first real taste of the thing. It also showed me that I don't play these games for the story.
May 1, 201510 yr Re:Coded. The others are all cool (Except for Days), but Re:Coded wasn't filled with dumb retcons (DDD), nor was it way too easy even on Critical (BBS). I love what it did for the Command Deck, and the different Keyhole levels were all really awesome. DDD is definitely really close, but after giving it some thought, Re:Coded wins out for the lack of the ridiculous plot twists that DDD had. ummmm, I don't think anyone Square Enix would even agree with that, but ok Why does it matter if Square would agree? I know some members on here (myself included) don't agree with a lot of Square's decisions.

May 1, 201510 yr my point was that someone who even made the game themselves, making it very important to them, wouldn't even agree, derp And how would you know that? Some of them might like it. Either way, it doesn't matter if Square agrees. There's no point in blindly following the opinions of the developer, it's best for fans to make their own opinions. If we like Re:Coded better, we like Re:Coded better. Square "disagreeing" wouldn't change that at all.
May 1, 201510 yr The nostalgia I have for 358 is too strong, so that's my favorite. I know many probably won't agree with this, but it had my favorite story in the series. I loved the character interaction between the main trio as well, and I absolutely love the Clock Tower scenes (something that I've seen some complain about...). The game play isn't exactly the best, but it worked for me. I didn't enjoy the pacing of 3D's story, and the worlds felt horribly empty. It does have my favorite game play out of all of them. For BbS, each storyline just felt way too short. I didn't enjoy playing as Terra that much, but I did enjoy the game play overall. (Re:)CoM had a pretty good storyline, but I absolutely hated the exploration and battle systems. Re:coded had a great amount of game play variety and a great base battle system. The story, however, just wasn't that intriguing, and I didn't like entering those "bugged" levels (or whatever they were called) because they just got so boring. IMO 358>BbS>=3D>Re:coded>CoM Edited May 1, 201510 yr by DragonMaster
May 1, 201510 yr Remember when every ds game was all about sprites and 2d environments? But then woaw, Days comes out! I almost cried as a kid, seeing everything in 3-dimensions! That story hit me hard, as I was 13 at the time, in the midst of teenage angst, and the character Roxas who was quiet and confused and cheerful hit home. All the symbolism, especially Xion's death, really introduced me to storytelling big-time and made me who I am today: a story addict. Even playing it now, I can easily say it is the best KH game story-wise and an amazing story overall with gameplay that doesn't lag behind! Edited May 1, 201510 yr by Ninkoro
