Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Vexen. Sora hated the guy for what (he thought) he did to Riku, and even he was horrified by the cruel way Axel dispatches him (while he's begging for mercy, no less!). Not helping matters is the fact that he was {{spoiler|trying to warn Sora about the trap he was walking into, shortly before Axel showed up}}.

** Lexaeus

** Zexion. Possibly the most brutal death of all the Organization members. Everyone else just died (some were more vicious than others; here's looking at you, Vexen). Zexion? He was strangled to ''death'', his life force ''slowly sucked out of his body'' as he lost consciousness. What makes this sad is that Zexion showed himself to be [[Undying Loyalty|highly devoted to the Organization's cause]], even up to his final moments, where he's absolutely ''mortified'' by the prospect of his death. That doesn't excuse his actions, mind you, but when you put him in comparison to the behind-the-scenes backstabbing game of hot potato that approximately half of the remaining members played, it's a bit depressing.

** Larxene.

* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: The utterly majestic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pItNUotCww Lord of the Castle] from ''Re:Chain of Memories''. Forgotten Challenge on the Game Boy Advance is also a ''very'' nice use of the Game Boy Advance's limited sound capability.

* [[Badass Decay]]: Riku in Reverse/Rebirth until the last two stages and fights against {{spoiler|Riku Replica and Ansem}}.

** Neoshadows. They also have a tendency to turn two-dimensional and avoid everything you throw at them. This is especially annoying because they seem to wait ''right'' until you use a sleight.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: When one considers Zexion's life, from his childhood in ''Birth by Sleep'' to when he meets his end in ''Chain of Memories'', he sorta becomes this.

* [[Memetic Molester]]: Xehanort's Heartless. Taken to truly unnecessary levels in Reverse/Rebirth.

** Larxene is this for some. She apparently has no concept of personal space for both genders, and is shown to be a sadist.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Xehanort's Heartless, again. "'''DARKNESS'''!"

* [[Tear Jerker]]: Closing scene, after defeating {{spoiler|Marluxia.}} Although, it being a subjective trope, YMMV.

* [[That One Boss]]:

*** That isn't to say that Re:CoM Vexen is easy. His attacks are pretty hard to dodge and can stunlock, he still can't be attacked from the front and his deck is stacked with high-numbered attack-cards. He also has Elixirs and Hi-Ethers with him, making the strategy of breaking all his good cards hard to execute - especially in the rematch, in which he also owns a card that prevents breaking items.

** Captain Hook. His [[Geo Effects]] screw up your summon cards, his dodge rate is insane, he can throw bombs seemingly without end, and his sword attack is extremely difficult to dodge. Better bring your zeroes and your cures - you're gonna NEED it all. This review says it all:

* [[What an Idiot!]]: All Jiminy writes in his Journal at the end of ''Chain of Memories'' is {{spoiler|"Thank Naminé."}} with no explanation whatsoever. Cue the mass confusion for Sora & co. at the beginning of ''II''.

** To be fair, {{spoiler|they probably expected to get woken up by Naminé herself and that she would explain the situation to them.}} On the other hand, is it really that hard for Jiminy to write more then just one sentence? He even says it's going to be a "big note"!
