![]() ![]() Let's just say that "Re:" means "remake" or "revisit" or "redoing," or what have you, and not "regarding" like in email chains. This game got a rerelease for the PlayStation 2 called Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories that remade the entire game in 3D. At the same time, as the trio makes their way up the castle, their memories begin to fade, thanks to some trickery from Organization XIII and their memory-manipulating "witch" named Naminé. The main trio of Sora, Donald, and Goofy are going through the Castle Oblivion, which recreates several Disney worlds based on Sora's own memories.
