|
| The game was remastered in HD and released as part of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' for the {{w|PlayStation 3}}. This edition of the game further alters the previous connectivity bonuses by instead allowing additional content from watching the collection's scenes from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It was later released as part of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX]]''.
| | ==Major changes== |
| | | While many changes were made between the two versions, by far the most important was the total redesign of the game to be a three-dimensional computer-rendered game for the Playstation 2, in the same style as the other released entries in the series, ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This revamp included changing the battle arenas from two dimensional screens without "height" into full three-dimensional arenas, allowing enemies to rise out of the player's range.

| |
| Due to the original Game Boy Advance release being on a different platform than the other mainline games and selling worse than the first game, many ''Kingdom Hearts'' fans skipped that entry and waited until ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This caused issues with the coherency of this next game, as playing ''Chain of Memories'' was crucial to understand the plot. The opening movie of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' offered a very brief recap of the previous two games, but many were still met with confusion over the plot of the game. Due to these complaints, a remake of this game was decided to be made for PlayStation 2 so the entire series would be on one system.{{fact}}

|
| Additionally, these arenas can be aesthetically varied, even within the same world, while in the original game there was only one arena design per world. The "Duel" system was added to Riku's battle mechanics, and the [[Reaction Command]] system of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' was incorporated into both Sora and Riku's battle mechanics, generally to replace instances where the player would press the "A" button to continue a combo attack. | | Additionally, these arenas can be aesthetically varied, even within the same world, while in the original game there was only one arena design per world.

| The game now has fully voice-acted full motion videos and the use of voice-acting within gameplay. While the dialogue for the game was recorded using the voice actors used in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the voicing and sound effects within gameplay relied largely on existing clips. In some cases, such as the Sora's invocation of the [[Stop]] spell, these clips were only available using the ''Kingdom Hearts'' voice-actors. As the scenes were now fully rendered, rather than being acted out with sprites, the violence within the game was more apparent, and the game's rating was raised from E to E10+, for Fantasy Violence.

| The game's card system and overall plot remained the same as the original ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', and "[[Simple and Clean]]" is the game's theme song.

|
| Quick Save option and Link Mode had been removed.
| | ==Other differences== |
| | ===Story changes=== |
| | <!--cleanup and organize chronologically!--> |
| | *Flashbacks from the first Kingdom Hearts are included in cutscenes. |
| | *[[Axel]] finishes off Vexen by immolating him with a snap of his fingers. In the original, he just struck Vexen with his chakrams a second time to eliminate him. |
| | *In the original, Goofy knocks away [[Larxene]] when she tries to kill Sora. In the remake, he just throws his shield at Larxene to temporarily distract her. |
| | *In the original, the Riku Replica is seen lying on the ground on Floor 12, and moving to him will trigger a cutscene (followed by a boss fight). In the remake, he is standing up, and a Reaction Command triggers the cutscene and boss fight. |
| | *When Sora was hurt by Larxene in the original ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', Donald used Cure to heal him, but in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', he uses Curaga to heal him. |
| | *In the original climax of Sora's storyline, when [[Axel]] attempts to execute Marluxia for his betrayal, Marluxia used Naminé as a shield after hearing Axel's threat. In the remake, they have a brief fight before Marluxia uses Naminé as a shield. Marluxia also never leaves the room until the end of the fight. |
| | *Instead of dragging Riku into the dark depths using his final strength, [[Lexaeus]] is killed when Riku's body is temporarily taken over by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. |
| | *In the original game, Zexion teleports away when his disguise as Sora is uncovered. In the remake, Zexion directly battles Riku but is defeated and, fearful for his life, teleports away. |
| | *The scene from ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' that involves [[Sora]] fighting [[Xemnas]] as the Unknown is put into the opening cutscene. |
| | *An extended scene of [[Roxas]] is shown along with [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]] at the ending of the game. |
| | *At the ending to the game, a scene of the Organization's unseen members is shown. |
|
| |
|

| |
| **Enemy: [[Zexion]], [[Demyx]], [[Roxas]], [[Luxord]], [[Xemnas]], [[Xigbar]], and [[Xaldin]].
| |
| ***Sora can no longer obtain the [[Darkball]] Enemy Card, due to its new effect revolving around Riku's newly introduced Card Duel system.
| |
| **Friend: [[Pluto]]
| |
| **Map: [[Bottomless Darkness]], [[Roulette Room]], and [[Random Joker]]
| |

| |
| **Special: [[Gold Card]] and [[Platinum Card]].
| |
| *The Journal now keeps track of minigame scores.

| |
| <!--*New faces are on [[enemy card]]s. Specify!-->
| |

| |

| |
| | |
| ====Gameplay====
| |
| [[File:Stopga KHRECOM.gif|thumb|Sora fighting Heartless.]]
| |
| *In the Japanese version, having a cleared ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' save file on the memory card will allow Sora to obtain a second set of treasures from the [[Room of Rewards]] on each floor, plus some extra Bounties on some floors.
| |
| **In the North American release, these were unlocked upon clearing Reverse/Rebirth.
| |
| **In ''Kingdom HD 1.5 Remix'', these were unlocked upon watching the collection's scenes and viewing all Journal-based entries from ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.
| |
| *The [[High Jump]], [[Glide]], and [[Superglide]] support abilities are available for Sora.
| |
| *The Swing Speed stat for Sora's Attack Cards have been removed.
| |
| *The effects of several Sleights were modified such as Cloud's Omnislash, several of Sora's Keyblade Sleights (Blitz, Sonic Blade, Ars Arcanum), and several Friend Card sleights (Spiral Wave, Hummingbird) to where {{button|t}} prompts appear in order for them to be fully used, akin to [[Reaction Command]]s.<!--which?-->
| |
| *Many new props feature throughout the field, such as flowers in Wonderland which block doors and projectile-firing obstacles. They can inflict damage on the player character, inflict Confuse on them, cast Stop on enemies, or stun them depending on the prop.
| |
| **[[Props]] are no longer reset when re-entering the same room. The room needs to be recreated consequently.
| |
| **Due to this new feature, the first battle in ''Sora's Story'' will now take place before he uses his first Map Card as a result of the tutorial.
| |
| *[[Zantetsuken]] and [[Sonic Blade]] are now available to learn at levels 22 and 27 respectively (the reverse was true previously). [[Ars Arcanum]], [[Tornado]], [[Holy]], [[Ragnarok]], and [[Mega Flare]] are now available to learn at 5 levels higher than before at levels 37, 42, 47, 52, and 57, respectively, due to the new sleight [[Lethal Frame]] being learned at level 32.
| |
| *Riku's battle mechanics now include the [[Duel]] system and its Sleights, and now have the [[Holy Burst]] and [[Inverse Burst]] Friend Sleights.
| |
| *Due to the removal of Link Mode, the effect of the [[Darkball]] has been modified. In addition, as it is now designed to work with Riku's Duel system, it is no longer available in Sora's Story, and has been added to Riku's deck as a secondary regular Enemy Card for the Atlantica floor other than Sea Neon.
| |
| *Riku can use The King card in [[Destiny Islands]] and [[Twilight Town]] after the battle against Lexaeus.
| |
| *The Hidden Chamber which is accessed with the Key to Rewards card has been renamed as the Room of Rewards. In addition when viewed on the map, it is now counted as a special room instead of a regular room.
| |
| **A Room of Rewards has been added for the Castle Oblivion floor, unlike the original, which was the only floor that did not have a Hidden Chamber.
| |
| *The special rooms when viewed on the map now glow white to identify which one to open, making it easier to know which one to go to in worlds that use multiple Keycards. Also, when Sora has a Key to Rewards card in his possession, the Room of Rewards location is revealed by a blue glow.
| |
| *The attack and magic cards played by [[Axel]], [[Larxene]], [[Vexen]], [[Marluxia]], [[Lexaeus]], [[Zexion]], [[Captain Hook]], [[Hades]], [[Cloud]], Ansem, and the [[Riku Replica]] depict different facial expressions, depending on their type.
| |
| *During his final battles with both Sora and Riku, the Riku Replica's left hand is immersed in an orb of darkness.
| |
| *When transforming into Dark Mode, Riku now says "Darkness" instead of simply screaming.
| |
| *The health bar the enemies use has been altered to resemble the one from ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
| |
| *There have been changes in the musics.
| |
| **The piece "The 13th Floor", played outside of Worlds, is melodically different. Instead of handbells playing an ascending interval, chimes now play a descending interval.
| |
| **The piece "[[Go for It!]]" plays when Sora battles against Cloud, instead of "Face It", and the piece "[[Face It!]]" plays when Riku battles against Ursula, instead of "[[The Fight for my Friends]]".
| |
| *[[Level]] Ups now restore HP only if the HP Bonus is selected, instead of any bonus.
| |
| *Changes related to [[Prizes]]:
| |
| **All dropped prizes are automatically collected when any battle ends.
| |
| **The cards acquired from a boss battle only appear after the other prizes had been collected, as they now appear automatically to be grabbed.
| |
| **Experience prizes no longer vary in size, and are only differenciated by their blue, red, or grey appearances.
| |
| **Prizes no longer keep bouncing all over the area, and stay still after bouncing a few times before becoming collectable afterwards.<!--Meaning you have to wait for a few seconds after a prize is dropped before they're collected-->
| |
| | |
| ====Battle====
| |
| *While battling the [[Parasite Cage]], the stomach acid will not inflict damage if Sora is reloading his deck. | | *While battling the [[Parasite Cage]], the stomach acid will not inflict damage if Sora is reloading his deck. |
| *Several bosses that use sleights have new and/or removed sleights.
| | *The final Marluxia battle has been split into two sub-battles — the first is generally the same as the original final battle, while the second is set entirely on top of Marluxia's Specter, and features him as much more aggressive, with several powerful Sleights. |
| *Enemies have different stats compared to the original game.
| | *As in his [[Absent Silhouette]] battle in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Lexaeus can enter a temporary state of invulnerability and increased strength. |
| *The final Marluxia battle has been split into two sub-battles. The first is generally the same as the original final battle, albeit on a standard circular arena instead of in a sub-space-esque field, while the second is set entirely on top of Marluxia's Specter, and features him as much more aggressive, with several powerful Sleights. | |
| *Lexaeus can enter a temporary state of invulnerability and increased strength via his Charge technique. | |
| *Ansem's first battle has been converted into a tutorial of Riku's new abilities (Rapid Break and Duel Sleights). | | *Ansem's first battle has been converted into a tutorial of Riku's new abilities (Rapid Break and Duel Sleights). |
| *Riku now confronts Zexion in a boss battle. During this battle, Zexion can steal Riku's cards, and Riku remains within Dark Mode for the duration of the fight. | | *As with [[Roxas]] and Sora's fight in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the scene in which Riku confronts Zexion has been converted into a full boss battle. During this battle, Zexion can steal Riku's cards, though Riku remains within Dark Mode for the duration of the fight. |
| *Bosses with vulnerability to stun remain stunned for much longer. | | *The final battle in [[Monstro]], while playing the same, is now recorded within the Journal as a mini-game. Also, the Shadows defeated during it drop EXP, unlike in the original GBA version. |
| *If any regular hit from an Attack Card within a card stack gets blocked, the entire card stack is cancelled, wasting the subsequent cards of the stack. | | *[[100 Acre Wood]] has been modified to be a mini-game world, as in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', as opposed to a single mini-game composed of helping Pooh find the other inhabitants of that world. |
| *The player's deck now displays four cards instead of three, making the currently selected card, the second, and third cards visible for the player for sleights. | | *The Journal now keeps track of mini-game scores, as in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II''. |
| *Riku's decks in each world have been altered. | | *In the Japanese version, having a [[Game Clear Data|cleared]] ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' save file on your memory card will allow Sora to obtain a second set of treasures from the [[Map Cards#Room of Rewards|Room of Rewards]] on each floor. These include [[attack card]]s modeled after certain ''Kingdom Hearts II'' Keyblades, and [[enemy card]]s modeled after the seven of the eight [[Organization XIII]] members which were not available in ''Chain of Memories''. In both versions, this feature can also be unlocked by clearing "Reverse/Rebirth" on ''Re:Chain of Memories''. The [[Zexion]] card, while added to the game, is available as soon as it is obtained in "Reverse/Rebirth".<!-- I don't think this can be unlocked simply by having a KH2 save file, as I had one and I still had to beat Reverse/Rebirth--> |
| | *The [[Gold Card|Gold]] and [[Platinum Card]]s are now available in Sora's Story, and can be obtained from Bounties after obtaining every other card. |
| | *Barrels and [[Barrel Spider]]s no longer reappear if you re-enter a room. |
| | *The [[Pluto]] [[friend card]] and [[Lucky Bounty]] Sleights are now available. |
| | *The [[Bottomless Darkness]], [[Roulette Room]], and [[Random Joker]] Map Cards have been added. |
| | *The [[Gravity Raid]], [[Stop Raid]], [[Homing Fira]], [[Firaga Break]], [[Blazing Donald]], and [[Goofy Charge]] Sleights have been removed, and replaced with [[Magnet Spiral]], [[Lethal Frame]], [[Freeze]], [[Firaga Burst]], [[Raging Storm]], [[Stardust Blitz]], [[Goofy Tornado Lv2]], [[Goofy Smash]], and [[Wild Crush]]. |
| | *Riku's battle mechanics now include the [[Duel]] system and its Sleights, and now have the [[Holy Burst]] and [[Inverse Burst]] Friend Sleights. |
| | *The [[High Jump]], [[Glide]], and [[Superglide]] support abilities are available. |
| | *The effect of the [[Darkball]] card, which would have been useless thanks to the removal of Link Mode, has been modified to work with Riku's Duel system. As such, it is no longer available in "Sora's Story". |
| | *The effects of several Sleights were modified.<!--which?--> |
| | *The Ansem, Seeker of Darkness card is now available as a Bounty within [[Twilight Town]], not [[Castle Oblivion]]. |
| | *[[Jack Skellington]]'s friend card is now available from the first battle in Halloween Town, rather than immediatly ''after'' it. |
| | *[[Zantetsuken]], [[Sonic Blade]], [[Tornado]], [[Holy]], [[Ars Arcanum]], [[Ragnarok]], and [[Mega Flare]] are now available to learn at levels 22, 27, 42, 47, 37, 52, and 57, respectively, as opposed to levels 27, 22, 32, 37, 42, 47, and 52. |
| | *[[Warpinator]] is now a Twilight Town Bounty, instead of a reward for defeating the [[Riku Replica]]. |
| | *[[Warp]] is now available in the Agrabah Room of Rewards, rather than the Twilight Town Room of Rewards. |
| | *[[Bind]] is now available in the Halloween Town Room of Rewards, rather than as a reward for finding Eeyore. |
| | *[[Synchro]] is now available in the Wonderland Room of Rewards, rather than as a reward for finding Rabbit. |
| | *[[Idyll Romp]] is now available as a reward for clearing [[Tigger's Jump-a-Thon]], rather than as a reward for finding Tigger. |
| | *[[Cross-slash+]] is now available as a reward for clearing [[Veggie Panic]], rather than as a Hollow Bastion Bounty. |
| | *The effectiveness of Riku's strength is slightly amplified from the original game.<!--fact?--> |
| | <!--flower in wonderland which blocks door, oblivion bells, projectile firing; etc. - environment changes--> |
