KHRecoded Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded: Pointless or Pointful?

Recommended Posts

It was fun and I enjoyed. It had some nice moments here and there. But it wasn't really important. It furthered the plot but barely. I still like the game though.

Is Kingdom Hearts Re: coded Important to you?

It terms of Story, no its pointless. All it does is explain that Xehanort will come back, which is already explained in KH3D. In terms of gameplay, alot of people said it was fun, but i honestly didnt like it.

It's still not pointless, In KH3D Malificent kidnapped queen Minnie because she wanted the data for all the worlds, but she didn't answer why. I have a feeling Re: coded will take a much bigger role in KH3

I enjoyed the gameplay, but the only relevance that it has in terms of story is Data-Namine's revelation at the end, and the secret cut-scene (which is ridiculously difficult to earn).

I would have to argue that, despite the happenings in KH3D with regard to the data worlds Recoded was more important to the plot before KH3D was in conception.

 

Remember, through the original Coded's development and release KH3D had not even been in conception (perhaps it was one of many ideas floating around, but it was nothing solid enough to appear in any interview). The game centered around a pretty profound question at the time: Can something born without a heart get one? Back when the order was BBS/Coded->"Mystery Game" (Not kh3d, this was supposed to be BBSV2)-> (remasters?)-> KH3, this question was about as important as it Ansem's data itself. However since KH3D's release this revelation, among many others, have become redundant.

 

Instead of considering Recoded's plot to be redundant next to KH3D, I consider how each game treated it separately and think coded did the better job in this regard.

Basically, although it has the least amount of impact to the story compared to the other games, it does act as an important link to several other games in the series. It helps link Days, Sleep, and 2 together, and it offers a more in depth look at some plot holes in the series...only to make more plot holes with ReCoded and 3D. I thought it was fun, but I understand if some people don't care for the story too much. I'm fine with whatever they do with it in the future.

I liked seeing a new "Realm" in the KH Universe and the end was very informative so I think it served a purpose for the narrative and gave Nomura a excuse to make another game which actually played well and looked better than 365/2 Days in terms of in-game graphics

I believe that in terms of story, Coded could have simply been resolved in a few cutscenes or as a small segment in another game (For example, something like how you had to get data from Ansem's computer, and you ended up going to Tron's world.).  I do feel that the gameplay was a big plus though, so it still makes it worth playing (I've already reviewed this x3  So saying anymore would just be rehashing things on my end :P)

re:coded story wise, the only useful and plot useful thing in the game is the secret ending. other than that, the gameplay was quite enriching and gave a big heads up to who would be saved and reminded us that there were people to save
