With 2024 on the horizon, it'll not only be the 22nd Anniversary year for Kingdom Hearts, but also the 20th Anniversary for the second-ever game in the franchise: Chain of Memories.
This game essentially kicked off what would be the beginning of the Dark Seeker Saga, introducing us to the long-running villain group, Organization XIII. So, to celebrate, I decided to recreate and color one of @amanoshiroh141127 -sensei's illustrations from the CoM manga in the style of a what-if anime promo image.
At the time of this writing, there is currently no announcement of a Kingdom Hearts anime or animated series. But we'll see how things pan out in the future.
Until then, once again, have a Happy New Year! Let's hope 2024 is good one🤞
EDIT: Also, here's a close-up of Sora's 3 cards. 2 friends and 1 enemy card.
Currently playing ReCom, love the story hate the pacing and ungodly grinding I need to do anyway in this game I’m perpetually forced to return to Agrabah to get moogle points since Aladdin is essentially a moogle point farm.
in today's episode we absolutely lose our minds as i struggle to defeat the sexiest organization member and we FINISH SORA'S STORY ARC OF COM!!!!!! october KH wednesdays are gonna have a special twist but WORRY NOT as riku mode will be following shortly after :)))
Finished Chain of Memories. Well, at least Sora’s story. Marluxia surprisingly wasn’t as hard as the others, but that’s probably because I had a lot more card points then the other times. Now it’s time for Riku’s story. Honestly, cool how this is the first game that lets you play as him. He controls pretty different and the gameplay is a 360, but the fundamentals are still there. We’ll see how this goes.
This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Destiny Islands" from Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, is one I've had on my mind a LOT lately. It's also probably not the version of this song most people think of when it comes to this franchise, but it's probably the one most dear to me. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it!
