All the more proof that Nomura is full of crap. D: Every time he releases a new KH game, he states “it's created so new players can jump in.”

…=_= Bullshit…

You don't even realize how true that really is…

Yup, seems that way. I tend to reply just on the R button now for camera control. If I need to check a level for the hidden extra icon items, then I go with select+D-pad. The Lock On panel is one of my favorite pieces to equip.

Cool. I'm impressed at the array of control options you just mentioned. Sounds like they really put some thought into it!

… I kind of button-mashed my way through some parts of Chains of Memories. XD

Not boss battles, of course, but the general battles were a flurry of button presses.

It did have a very good card battle system.

Knowing what happened in Chains of Memories is “somewhat” helpful here, since that game and this game take place at the same time and have some of the characters cross over. It isn't absolutely necessary – I'd say Kingdom Hearts 2 is the only required playing for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

That is true. But you can't expect agents of a mysterious organization to go out and work “every” day.

There's multiple controls schemes for the camera. (I typed up a response to NickyD that details all the ones I've run across so far, and it's right below your comment.)

Nope, no worries. You can also switch the control scheme so the L and R buttons control the camera. You can also tap R during normal play to make the camera center behind Roxas.

If you're stationary and need to scope out a level for hidden items or chests, then you can press select and use the directional pad to look around.

Also, quick tapping R can make the camera lock on to an enemy, if you have the correct panel equipped.

Chain of Memories was very fun for me. It's the only game in the series where u have to use your brain, not only your fingers.

KH and KH2 can be beaten without any strategy..just button mash and lvl-up; almost every battle in CoM requires some strategy… best card battle system ever
