The bot hasn't updated it yet, but Raul has promoted CoM to FA status! Great job, everyone (I'm looking at you, Guyinblack25). Axem Titanium 01:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Surely we can come to a consensus about this. No sense breaking WP:3RR over something like a single word. To be honest, in my opinion, I think either one will suffice. But I can see pluses to either word. Both are applicable to the content. "Installment" sounds more encyclopedic/intellectual and "game" sound more generic/layman for general audiences. So what does everyone else think? ( Guyinblack25 talk 20:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC))
Can we try to create a foundation where this line "the first game in the Kingdom Hearts series to use swearing" is notable? Aside from "hell" and "bitch", can you provide in-game citation as evidence, and more importantly, statements from game reviewers about such an issue? Thanks. — Bl ue 。 22:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
BTW, I've checked the game script and there's no instances of "bitch", and "hell" only occurred once as a figure of speech. So, I don't think this is notable, I'm not sure if any game reviewer said anything about it, but I'm sure it's just a minor issue. If there's a source, please discuss it first here. Thanks. — Bl ue 。 23:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
And also, wasnt you reading their discussion? User ThegreatWakkorati gave another example of a curse word in the game. But this is all most likely just fan subbed incorrectly by fans of the game. Not the game creator that had made the script. Grimmjow E6 ( talk) 22:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Swearing =/= cussing/foul language. Just to get that in the clear. "Swearing" is a severe promise made in the name of something equally severe (typically God or something considered holy and/or absolute). T.J. Fuller, Jr. ( talk) 19:21, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Should we bring up The mysterious Room of Awakening mentioned in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+? In that game it mentions (in a new scene) that the Organization had another motive for being at Castle Oblivion that involved the Room of Awakening. I believe that this is signifigant enough to at least mention it somewhere on this page. Twilit awakening ( talk) 02:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Despite how much you little Wikians love using colons and normal caps, I will not budge on the former. In the NA version's instruction booklet, page 25, the title is rendered as "KINGDOM HEARTS CHAIN OF MEMORIES" in plain text (amusingly, it doesn't make use of italics, though none of the booklet seems to do so upon scanning through it). I also know that in several official places (namely, Square Enix/SQUARE ENIX sites), the title is rendered without the colon (on that note, I would wager that you folks have capitalized "coded", but that's for a different discussion page).
I'm going to remove the colon from every instance of "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" that is not from a source that includes the colon (such as video game review/info sites, which tend to add it despite). T.J. Fuller, Jr. ( talk) 19:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Hmmm... You bring up an interesting point. Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), all caps is not really an issue. The article name should be in a common format that will allow for ease of searching. If need be we can add (marketed as KINGDOM HEARTS) or something like that.
The real issue is the colon, which Square Enix does not seem to use the colon consistently.
I dug up the press releases to see how they refer to the game to the media and found the same inconsistencies.
3/10 with a colon, 5/10 without, and 1/10 with and without. To be honest, I'm a little baffled by this. But their inconsistency makes me think we should defer to the gaming press. I haven't done a count, but I remember seeing "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" a lot. I'll do a check of the major gaming networks tomorrow morning. Given the weird circumstances of the official usage, I may post this at WT:VG to get some more feedback. Any thoughts? ( Guyinblack25 talk 05:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC))
USA is expected to get a standalone title for this game: http://www.rpgsite.net/news/256.html
Though its name is without the Re it seems. 66.168.19.135 ( talk) 12:44, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
With all due respect, considering Re:Chain of Memories is a standalone video game now, should we include an image of the game cover? It is my understanding that one such image was deleted once before. Immblueversion ( talk) 20:19, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
I am extremely late to this, but I agree it should have a standalone image for this "Remake". LionheartBlitz ( talk) 21:06, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
My apologies for not discussing before my edit. The last two sentences of the Manga section may be misinterpreted to the reader:
"The series was followed by a third manga series, Kingdom Hearts II. The manga series was rereleased in a boxed set in the United States on October 9, 2007."
The restating of 'the manga series' again in the second sentence makes one think that it refers to a set of Kingdom Hearts II manga being released on that date rather than Chain of Memories (despite the obvious article subject).
I edited the second sentence to read as follows:
"The Chain of Memories manga series was rereleased in a boxed set in the United States on October 9, 2007."
This is one option for it to work, although it may be more fluent to switch the sentences with the reference to the sequel series at the end, shown here. (Possibly with another Chain of Memories clarification in the second sentence.)
"The manga series was rereleased in a boxed set in the United States on October 9, 2007. The series was followed by a third manga series, Kingdom Hearts II."
Any opinions on the best option? —Preceding

It now says on this page that the PS2 remake will be released in Europe on April 17, 2009, and it's sourced. Is this true? It's just that KH Ultimania and KH Insider haven't said anything about a European release date for Re:Chain of Memories, and that's not something they'd have missed so easily. Is the game even coming out in Europe? Jienum ( talk) 12:36, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
First off, I never said it'd confuse the reader. Not sure where that came from. Secondly, it's not a spin-off. Kingdom Hearts is a separate series, it just includes cameos and other elements from Final Fantasy. You say just because one person, me, disagrees, does not make it so. However, one person, you, agrees, so how does that make it so? What I'm saying is, KH is not FF and FF is not KH, which is why the template should not be included in this article. Thanks.

Is this the first KH game not exclusive to Sony? Wolf O'Donnel ( talk) 08:42, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Yep. CoM was released on the GBA, a Nintendo hand-held. LionheartBlitz ( talk) 01:57, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
All iterations of KHCOM don't have a colon until Re:Chain of Memories. This should be moved to Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, yes? Chain offire 04:02, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
