When re: coded is the only reason I'm in KH
You and me both.
Arthur Moebius SAME! Thought I was the only one
Arthur Moebius SAME I then got DDD cause I had a 3ds at the time .
Arthur Moebius Yep! Saw Mickey on the front because I'm a huge disney fan and now I've played every game.
When both DS games are the only reason.
the reason everything defaults to KH1 is because virtual Sora and all are in the first Jiminey Journal, which is KH1's story.
That's true!!
Yeah but they have all the worlds except for Halloween town, monstro, never land, the end of the world and others. It makes no sense for the game to have destiny islands since Donald and goofy found Sora in traverse town?
@@iamawesome4026 I mean Sora could have told him about it on his down time.
Imagine if we’d gotten a Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded II where we went into the Kingdom Hearts 2 journal.
@@iamawesome4026 And most importantly, Naminè forgot to put Deep Jungle back in the Journal. Nice memory restoring there.
I joke
At least this vid didn't take 358 days to come out..
Noah Fleming but his bbs is looking like it might
LilFourZ 616 im really waiting for that one tbh
This game didn't really add much to the story but it's gameplay makes up for it.
then trailers show nomura put bug blox and Data Riku in San Fransokyo for KH3, the absolute mad lad
It adds 2 major things, the motive of why sora needs to take the mark of mastery, and also reveals that sora is a living motel
I love re:coded. The gameplay was really fun, even if the story was pointless.
well it actually has importance now in KH 3 and KHUx, so now, even though it is a really small amount of story, it has relevance to the plot other than the awesome gameplay
@@blazeredraw agreed as it let us know what happened if Nobodies and the heartless of that same person disappeared
@@blazeredraw same goes with 358/2 Days although 358/2 Days are better story wise I had to admit harshly that gameplay wise Re:coded is the winner cause you pretty much can do anything to modify Data-Sora or adjusting the game difficulties and even adjusting the reward system plus it is one of those that when a world got replayed you got greeted with new things entirely and don't forget to mention the exploration system
The UI is my favorite and I love playing recoded be annoyed but it won't change my mind
@@paulbrune1346 lol I can see why cause like Antdude said it is like building your own pc XD
"Boy, you think 358 is bad? Re: Coded is the worst game in the franchise!"
Well then. Surprise, surprise.
AntDude Jesus man I both love you for reviewing all these things and I feel so bad for you.
I hope you recover.
AntDude Boi you got some sweet videos.
AntDude hi! me a BIG FAN OF SONIC ROM HACKS!!!!!!!
hey did you like yo-kai watch one or two i love both
AntDude Story is inconsequential until the ending, but this game has some of my favorite gameplay in the series, it was very hard for me to hate it.
THANK YOU FOR NOT BLACKLISTING THIS GAME AS THE SIN OF THE KH SERIES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
everyone can agree about DDD though.
@@leoleo4469 not really no
Hey atleast it's not alone now kh3 will keep this game company.
This game is criminally underrated.
Yes
The story is (not the worst because they needed real sora) but i loved it with the story being very interesting.
@@introvertednerd0252 the story on its own is fun, and the gameplay has the best use of the command deck formula.
@@OmegaChase1002 THANK U SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE!
It's just so fast paced and innovative. Later command deck games like dream drop distance felt like a step backwards from that.
@@OmegaChase1002 I kinda liked that one in dream drop distance because it was simiplier then trying to get through the command deck in like kh2
I actually like this game because I havne't played KH 1 so this game was perfect for me to learn what happened in KH 1 and adding story options too.
Game Theory: Goofy's changing eye size will be a MAJOR PLOT POINT IN KH3?!?!?!
Re: Coded is my fave of the KH games, just because of the combat being so fluid and fast, unlike BBS you can use commands in the command deck instantly after the attack hits so you can make insane combos with the commands and it even has a whole lot of new attacks like the homing magic attacks and the insane explosion attacks and all those that i called tier 4 attacks when i was playing the game i couldn't care less about the story despite it being all important in KH 3 but at the same time it was cool that the small amount of story that told what the gang was gonna be up to in KH 3 including the fact that it makes KHUx (the newest mobile game) important to the story and it shows that Maleficent is still alive
Re:Coded is the only game where I've actually beat the game level 1 Crit. And it I think it probably has the best Critical mode outside of KH2's.
AntDude, you got the start a bit backwards, the order is, Mysterious message, turning the journal into digital codes to figure out, bugs appearing, Data-Sora being made to debug those from the inside
The gameplay was some of the best in the series for instance the rpg part in hercules is so crazily fleshed out most people dont realise you can come back after main story for more boss fights etc
so... I personally didn't mind Re:coded like... at all. it was technically one of the most impressive ds games (moon withheld) that I've played. The gameplay was fast and fluid. the variety was plenty. all in all I enjoyed it. more than 358/2 even
Every time I see you upload something kh related, my day gets a little better. Thanks!
After replaying this again, I thought the gameplay was very unique and really fun! Not a good story, but it's fun!
The combat and stat tree thing are also in Dream Drop Distance. So yeah, Re:coded is actually worth something. 😏
Also why would covering these kill you? I assume you love this franchise.
He's started doing this retrospective series like, a year ago. Plus deciding what parts to include and what not to to summarize most important parts of huge stories is tiring, I assume.
Backstory Ben 3d-skilltree is worse
Well, one crucial thing that was missed in this, and I don't blame you, was Maleficent discussing the Book of Prophecies, delved much more in Kingdom Hearts Unchained X/Union Cross. And if the secret episode of the original Chi is anything to go by, she may well have succeeded and may once again be relevant to the franchise. Which is kind of shocking after some of these games where she's second fiddle to Xehanort.
What is with Square Enix and trying to make every little Kingdom Hearts game on every device seem important. Just let them be their own game, and make the story simple.
They love to tell their complex and ''compelling'' stories.
I feel like Square has just been trying to capitalize on KH franchise without having to go all out into making a full fleshed out sequel. Going between all the handhelds testing which platform brings back the most in terms of profit.
+RiceCrustyTreat FFXV is the reason why it took them forever to just announce KH3. I'm glad they decided to actually make games for these last ten years while Square's A team kept dicking around with XV's development hell. They easily couldn't make any KH games and let the series be forgotten, but Nomura saw it as an opportunity to flesh out the story more. And as previously mentioned, BBS and DDD are fully fleshed sequels (DDD literally leads into KH3). It doesn't absolutely NEED a "3" in the title to be important.
Yey the kh story is not complex at all -___-
Why do you want a story spoon-fed to you?
re:coded is fun imo
there is exactly one reason to watch Re:Coded in 2.5, trophies.
Same with 358/2 Days, but not to me. I honestly wish that Square would release a proper remaster of the game and Re:Coded as well on PS4. Even if they're DLC and we'd have to pay for them, I wouldn't mind having to pay an additional $15-$20 dollars to convert the movies into full-fledged games, but that's just me. Not too sure about anyone else, though. I honestly feel like a proper way to truly experience a story is to experience the journey by playing the game the movies are based on. You know what they say: "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey."
General Snivy I'm inclined to disagree because the gameplay for both games are like steps down for the franchise
@@GeneralSnivy i've been wishing for this too, specially for Re: Coded, the game is so fluent and it's awesome to make combos from the command deck, cause unlike BBS you could instantly use the next ability instead of waiting for the animation to end
@@blazeredraw
^This.
Also, being able to test out the new melded commands instead of being forced to commit to melding them in order to test out the result is so much better. Also, everything kinda gets OP and viable by the endgame, instead of only having 2-4 viable commands and everything else being worthless.
Essentially, balance.
the stat matrix was so damn satisfying. this games gameplay was godlike
People always talking shit about this game. I thoroughly enjoyed it
gamerprince1999 ikr, this and 358/2 days is what got me into Kingdom Hearts
SRM13 imo 358 was pretty shitty, ReCoded was way better.
I got into KH because I downloaded the DDD demo from the 3ds eshop
Re:coded was actually my first KH game, interestingly enough. I was pretty confused with all the nods to previous games, in particular in the opening, so i ended up going back and playing all the previous games in order to understand the story leading up to Re:coded, since the gameplay in Re:coded was more than enough to intrigue me.
This was my first KH game...It really got me into the series...although I've only played KH1 after playing this game so...I haven't played much.
Re:Coded was actually my first KH game. Then I started playing 358, DDD, and when I visit my uncle, I get to play KH1 Final Mix and CoM.
It's pointless, but it's FUN AS FUCK.
Much better than 358/2 Days!!!
good job dude, i like this series. excited for the next one
Personally, Re:Coded is one of my favorite KH games. Mostly because it was the second one I played, but the gameplay isn't that bad for me, and I liked the different worlds, except for Castle Oblivion. There were some things I didn't like, but they didn't really hinder gameplay for me.
I was so happy to see another of your kingdom hearts videos. :D
Finally a new kh retrospective. I also liked re coded I didn't care for the story but I loved the gameplay but this is my opinion.
Gotta love how Tetsuya Nomura made this game SUUUPER RELEVANT to Kingdom Hearts 3... He was like, “Oh you don’t like this? Guess I’ll make it super important now.”
At least we can all agree a good thing that re:Coded did was give us the Zero/One Keyblade...
Dats op, when u get to lvl 3, it attacks long enemys.
@@maxmccutchen1753
*MAX LV Overclock
@@reddodeado301 i hwvnt played it in a while because ive been playing the final mix versions lately ._.
KH Re:Coded: I'm not very important to the canon.
KH Union Cross snorting Codecaine: JUST YOU FUCKING WAIT!
The ending and the bit with Malifent and Pete mention the book of prophecies are the only things that are important
"This is gonna kill me"
Well... we ain't got another episode yet, so I am happy and relieved to know for a fact you are still alive and well.
Jokes aside, I have greatly enjoyed your whole series, good job Ant!
Re:Coded was actually my first Kingdom Hearts game.
Also, "shockingly easy final fight"? You're clearly WAY more skilled than I am.
or he went on easy mode, though the secret portal battle is a LOT harder, having to fight Roxas not just with twice the speed but also twice the size is hard, specially when him being all glitchy makes him hard to see, plus he has way too much health, you do get the game's ultima weapon and it's ultima finisher out of it though and that's fun
FINALLYYYY!!!!! Thanks for making this vid!
Recoded has a multiplayer feature that allows for a 100 floor gauntlet, that's randomized by combinations given to you by other players. What's nice is that if you have 2 DSs, and have another DS game that has local wireless play, you can actually explore all of this content quickly. Just by having a game look for wireless play while in recoded using tag mode, a bubble with a randomly generated character will appear.
I love how one of the ones I got was a character named "VegiKnight" that has the bio: Not "Radish"? Seriously?" And is wearing the FF3 Onion Knight set. There are also other Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy characters you can see from this.
I always thought I was the only one to think that Re: Coded was the better of the two. Cannot wait for your next episode, AntDude!
This is also where apparently you are basically immortal as long as you constantly have your nobody and heartless destroyed.
The "system sector" areas made me wish that there was a tron world in the game.
i loved all of the kh games
this was my first KH game :) good thing i read the wikis of the other games beforehand
I beat this game when I was a lot younger. I only had cure in my command deck, and the Lady Luck was the only keyblade I used for the heals.
So...could I just skip this game and still be all right with the plot?
Yeah, I implore it.
more or less, yes. Same thing with 358/2. KH3D actually gives you a rundown of every game's plot, anyway.
Slobertooth 13 There's a few important plot details though. Namely a specific conversation with the bad guy (About the Book of Prophecy) and the secret ending also the regular ending
Slobertooth 13 Basically just watch the movie(at the very last half)
Heartless fang I plan on watching the 358/2 days movie regardless, because it does have some important plot points. I was just on the fence about Re coded because it barely does anything for the plot.
I actually loved this game, although it was my first Kingdom Hearts game. I do prefer it WAY more that DDD. The command deck and the stat matrix and all the other upgrading stuff was really cool and i would like to see another game with this kind of gameplay
I mean, what's more interesting: searching for combinations of commands to find new ones, or petting some weird creature for more than an hour collectively?
Add to that that DDD was TOO big (in terms of rooms).
Re:Coded is better, and don't feel ashamed believing/saying that.
Re:coded was my first kingdom hearts game it did a good impression. I haven't played a kingdom hearts game since
Legend says if you post early, AntDude will emerge from the ashes with a soft.... "hey"
Now, I've only watched the movie versions of 358/2 Days and Re:Coded, but I found Days to be way more entertaining. I also liked that Days filled some holes of the KH2 storyline, which was also rather neat. Re:Coded on the other hand was just another retelling of KH1 with the basically serving only one purpose: Setting up the events of the next game, coinciding with the end of KH2, since Re:Coded explains why Sora was invited by King Mickey at the end of KH2. It was so boring and confusing, that I never want to revisit Re:Coded again, while I honestly wouldn't mind spending another afternoon watching Days again.
TheRedLagoon ReCoded is a much much MUCH better game though, Days is boring af
Thanks for a new episode. I know Birth By Sleep is gonna be tough, but you can do it. Keep your strength up!
Next up, the rest of the Kirby marathon. IT'S TIME!!!
358/2 Days was a chore to get through but the story was soo good and the ending was so rewarding
Re:Coded was a blast to play, but rewarded nothing in terms of story.
Now if they took Day's overall story and day structure, slapped on Re:coded's command deck and leveling up system, now THAT would be a game on the same level as the consoles.
Sorry if i missed it on the video, but what about the re:Coded present in 2.5 Remix? Is it good, long? Does it cover the story well?
Another well put together retrospective. =D
The concepts this game introduced get really fleshed out in the future.
I love your videos man.
KH BBS is my favorite in the series.
I felt it had the best (and least confusing) story. It was really brilliant in taking advantage of everything the PSP had to offer and tripling the gameplay time by having three characters visit the same worlds (which also saves memory space).
It was also the first KH game that I actually took the time to learn the upgrading system and research how to get new abilities. (Who else walked in circles with the left stick taped and earned endless XP just by walking?) I even liked the KH version of "Mario Party meets Monopoly".
I also really loved the worlds. You got to explore the original Disney Princess worlds plus the actual Neverland (not just the ship). However my favorite world would have to be Deep Space from Lilo and Stitch. It also brings up many important questions on interstellar travel in KH.
But above all else you have to admit this...Old Master Xehenort is BEST Xehenort. Best voice. Best design. Best plan. Best showing off of godly powers (that Keyblade Graveyard). Best monologue. And (spoiler alert) he actually WINS in the end! After fighting so many versions of the character, it was refreshing to finally fight the original. And as you know, it's hard to top the original.
Between 2 and BBS, I can't choose which one I like better, but yeah, I REALLY like BBS. Love the characters, and especially how each has a different playstyle.
Honestly, Re:coded was my first KH game I finished and I didn’t mind the story, and it’s for me a great game
"We'll get to (Birth by Sleep) soon, don't worry."
More than half of a year later: IS IT TOO EARLY TO START WORRYING?!!!
I'm enjoying it so far. It has an interesting system in place for creating and leveling up new attacks.
Re:Coded has some interesting elements in terms of gameplay (battles were actually bearable with the command option) and the chip board was pretty darn cool.
But the added elements are okay at best, and the fact that it's all the same worlds AGAIN made it so I actually got bored playing it.
I need to replay it to come up with something more, but that's at the top right now.
By the way, not dissing 1 or 2, but the 358/2 repetitive combat it had.
Honestly, I think they are both bad for their own reasons.
Best command combat is bbs imo
@@entruh4520 Far too unbalanced.
@@aldebaran2643 yeah after playing bbs again ur right
@@entruh4520 Re:Coded: somehow the most fun of all the portable KH games.
Unless you're one of the people that enjoyed Chains of Memories, that's cool too.
I tried to watch the video on my new pc but these weird block things showed up in the video send help
I really enjoyed the new ideas they had for combat. Especially the behind Sora runner.
Anthony, bruh. Birth By Sleep is by far the best hand-held Kingdom Hearts, and for me personally, my absolute favorite.
Re:coded was the game that introduce me to the series'
"The story is very obviously thrown together for the sake of making a game, which I think is a little bit better than throwing together a game for the sake of having a story."
THANK YOU.
I much prefer Re:Coded over 358/2 for this reason. Personally, I don't like Kingdom Heart, in the sense that I don't really like the main series (well, at least, the first one, since I hate the Starfox~ish gameplay that is forced upon you between each world, and since I never finished the first one because of that, i never played the second one), but I love the "spin-off". My favorite Kingdom Heart would be Dream Drop Distance, followed by Re:Coded. I guess I'm a little bit biased because I never really had other console aside from the Nintendo consoles until I got my PS3 3 years ago, but I did play the first one recently, and still can't overcome my hate for the Gummi Ship stages.
I had it on DS about 10 years before I touched any of the other games making it my first. From what I *can* remember I did love what they did with the worlds with it being my fave take on Wonderland. That tech/customization system will be missed along side the closed off "trial"(?) arenas with the boxes
Man, we're still waiting.
ANTDUDES BACK!
I guess you can say that these reviews are Simple and Clean
After watching all of Key and Union Cross, Recoded actually has a lot of connections to the lore it seems
My first KH
Re:Coded is the first kingdom hearts game u ever played and I fully enjoyed it.
"Worse from the Francise, olympus coliseum and castle oblivian" - perfect
This game me cry, I have a soft spot for character sacrifice stories and "virtual" characters finding out they are not real, and boy dot sora sacrifice made me cry
5:38: Greatest cameo ever...wonder what Disney worlds Woomies would fit in?
The only thing I want to see is Antdude trying that one salty icecream
Lots of people regularly shit on any of the three incarnations of _coded._ But, in that game's defense... it's a game that let players embark on a single-player campaign with Sora, with classic Kingdom Hearts combat, platforming elements, and of course, Traverse Town and Castle Oblivion in polygonal form. *All of these, when combined, are a first on Nintendo consoles.* Not bad for consoles that are used to get the mere breadcrumbs of what the Kingdom Hearts series has to offer (the one with the cool new Disney worlds, Birth By Sleep? Why, it's a PS exclusive, of course). Betcha forgot about this one detail, right?
Nope. I believe KH always feels best at home on a Sony system.
Which I, even as a Nintendo fan, would be _super fine with,_ if only it didn't mean being at home on a _home_ Sony system. I'd love the first two HD remixes being ported to the Vita, but nope, not happening.
Hopefully the Switch will inspire other console manifacturers to create hybrid systems as well, given the potential of it all. A Halo game on the go? What about Kingdom Hearts II on the go?
SuperWorldJumper it depends. I don't see why not having those relased on a Nintendo system. I mean, people got those games remaked anyway on Sony's systems later on so I don't see the harm here.
Alessandro Bozzi I can see Kingdom Hearts on it (handheld and all of that) but Halo is a Microsoft exclusive.
What I meant is I hope for future rival consoles to be hybrids.
In story reason for going back to the first game is that the diary they go to is the one from the first game.
Wait wasn't there something at the end about Data Sora ultimately being deleted since his purpose was fulfilled and he was now useless? Or did I remember it wrong?
I love re: coded, it is my favorite game in the whole series, besides the numbered titles (1, 2, and 3)
Honestly the stat matrix is my favorite level up system in the kh franchise.
I tried playing this a while ago and got up to the back facing part at the end of Hollow Bastion and gave up.
I really love it, that for 5 KH games he needed 1 year and exactly after this Video, he makes 5 Kirby Videos in 2 Months. XD
Kirby is a lot more simple than KH so it makes sense
@@blazeredraw But the lore tho
8 months later and we still waiting
there are 2 extra video clips in the 2.5 recoded making it more relative to the story.
I liked this game more than 358. the abilities were so fun to use and the areas made the game super challenging
This game is the reason that I got into the Kingdom Hearts franchise
My first and only Kingdom Hearts game; only going up from here!
As a huge Kingdom Hearts fan, I just started playing this game for the first time and had been really enjoying it for the most part! What I really hate thought is that you basically have to play through the SAME worlds three times in one game on top of the other two times I’ve been to them in other games…
These two were my first KH games :,(
This was my first and only game in KH. I had no idea what was happening and gave up less than half way through.
the problem is coded was actually released before 358/2 and bbs but recoded released after and while it doesnt change the story from being more of a sora is like the biggest good guy you can get in the universe and him finding out about the days and birth by sleep trio for mickey. it is a still a fun game and i like sora cheering up every version of riku.
My favorite funny moment of being 10 years old and finding out Numora was drunk when he came up with this game
I wouldn't recommend doing Birth By Sleep 0.2 (the new one in the 2.8 collection) along with the original Birth By Sleep as 0.2 contains stuff from Dream Drop Distance. With that in mind, I would put 0.2 at the end of the Dream Drop Distance video or as its own seperate mini-video.
This is the first kingdom hearts game I have ever played and completed, including Roxas. I was also a dumb player because I never melded commands and I never switched keyblades
I need to play BBS before the next video. I still need to play II before that, though...March 27th could not come any sooner.
ohh i can't wait for bbs retrospective
5 months and still waiting.
