fWotD Episode 2922: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 5 May 2025, is Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is a 2004 action role-playing video game that was developed by Square Enix and Jupiter, and published by Square Enix in collaboration with Disney Interactive for the Game Boy Advance. The game, which is an intermediary between the two larger-scale PlayStation 2 games in the Kingdom Hearts series, was one of the first GBA games to incorporate full motion video (FMV).Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is the second game in the Kingdom Hearts series. It is a direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts whose ending is set about a year before the events of Kingdom Hearts II. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories follows Sora and his friends as they explore the mysterious Castle Oblivion while battling Organization XIII, a new group of antagonists in the series. The game introduces new characters and plot lines that further expand the Kingdom Hearts universe and set up the premise of Kingdom Hearts II. The game uses a new card-based battle system rather than its predecessor's real-time combat system.Though it was not as successful as the other Kingdom Hearts games, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories received positive reviews and sold well. It was praised for its story, graphics, and full-motion videos (FMV) but its card-based battle system was criticized. When it debuted in Japan, the game sold over 100,000 units in 48 hours. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was remade for the PlayStation 2 as Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, which was packaged with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and released in Japan in March 2007. The remake was released in North America on December 2, 2008, and was remastered in high definition (HD) and included in the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix collection, which was released in 2013 for the PlayStation 3 (PS3), and later for PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox One, and personal computer (PC).Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is a combination of a role-playing video game and a collectible card game. There is an experience point system that can be used to increase the character's maximum health and Card Points, or to learn new skills. The cards are used in the progression of the story and in combat. The game features a world map and a battle screen. The world map is an isometric area where the player traverses rooms. Enemies inhabit the world and track the player to engage in combat, which is initiated when the player and an enemy come into contact. Once in combat, the game switches to the battle screen, which uses the card-based battle system.To advance through the game, the player uses map cards they obtain after winning battles to create rooms through "room synthesis". The map card the player chooses determines the properties of each room―including the quality of items and the strength of enemies. The color of each card has a specific effect: red cards affect the number and type of enemies; green cards affect the power of the player's deck; and blue cards affect the properties of the room, such as the allowance of treasure chests or the appearance of save points.The game has three modes; two are story modes featuring Sora and Riku, and the third is a two-player battle mode. Initially, only Sora's story mode is available; once that story is completed, the "Reverse/Rebirth" mode becomes available. Reverse/Rebirth allows the player to play the second story mode featuring Riku and the battle mode in which two players using a Game Link Cable can battle each other.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Monday, 5 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

Last month Jesse talked with Riku van Tonder. Riku is an archery champion, competing to a high level in tournaments around the world. After emigrating from South Africa to New Zealand he struggled with his mental health. Dealing with that wasn't easy, but he told Jesse that archery helped him keep the black thoughts at bay. He and the Silver Arrows team are due to fly out this Saturday to compete in the Hyundai Archery World Cup in Shanghai. But, sadly, we were told this morning that all of Riku's archery gear had been stolen. This is precisely tuned equipment and the loss of it has been devastating for him and the team. The teams have asked for any help in recovering the gear, donations of archery equipment and they have a givealittle page set up to help lessen this massive setback.

As Europe's energy markets evolve, the Nordic region provides a fascinating case study. High hydro penetration, cross-border interconnections, and shifting regulatory frameworks are shaping a unique electricity market with lessons for the rest of the continent. From Sweden's shift to zonal pricing to growing debates around consumer fairness and the future role of storage, the region continues to test the boundaries of what a flexible, renewable-heavy market can look like and what it means for the rest of Europe.In this episode of Transmission, Ed is joined by Riku Merikoski, Senior Power Analyst at Axpo Group, to explore the distinct challenges and opportunities in the Nordics. Over the course of the conversation, you'll hear about:The role of batteries in the Nordics – in a system already dominated by flexible hydro, where exactly do batteries fit in?Swedens move away from a national market in 2011 and adoption of a zonal market structure.Interconnection and integration in the region.Rethinking fairness in energy policy – who really needs support, and should subsidies extend to second homes?What the Nordics can teach the rest of Europe (and the world) about balancing renewable integration, price signals, and consumer outcomes.About our guestAxpo Group is Switzerland's largest producer of renewable energy and a leading international player in energy trading and the marketing of solar and wind power.

Can you see that bottle in the tank?" Riku pointed out.Ja: 確かに、色とりどりの珊瑚の間に小さな瓶が沈んでいた。En: Sure enough, a small bottle was submerged among the colorful corals.Ja: 瓶の中には紙が入っているようだった。En: It seemed to contain a piece of paper.Ja: 「どうしてこんなところに？」ユイは疑問を抱いた。En: "Why is it there?" Yui wondered.Ja: ただの飾り物かもしれないが、リクの心はすでに決まっていた。En: It might have been just a decoration, but Riku had already made up his mind.Ja: 二人は係員に相談し、特別に瓶を取り出してもらうことになった。En: The two consulted with a staff member and were allowed to have the bottle retrieved specially.Ja: そして瓶を開けると、中には短いメッセージが書かれていた。En: When they opened the bottle, they found a short message written inside.Ja: 「探求し続ければ、心の中に答えがある。」En: "If you continue seeking, the answer is within your heart."Ja: それを読むと、リクは考え込んだ。En: Upon reading it, Riku pondered.Ja: 「これはもしかして、次の冒険へのヒントかもしれない。」En: "This might be a hint for the next adventure."Ja: 「リク、それはただのメッセージだよ。もっと現実的になろうよ。」ユイは溜息をついた。En: "Riku, it's just a message. Let's be more realistic." Yui sighed.Ja: 「でも、このメッセージが何かを示しているよ。」リクは言い張った。En: "But this message is pointing to something," Riku insisted.Ja: 「いずれにせよ、未来は自分で切り開かなきゃいけない。それに、心の冒険も重要なんだ。」En: "In any case, I have to carve out my own future. Moreover, the adventure of the heart is important too."Ja: 「分かった、でも、現実の世界も大切にしてね。」ユイはそう言って、仕方なくその場を離れた。En: "Got it, but don't forget to also cherish the real world." Yui said and reluctantly left the spot.Ja: 帰りに二人は近くのカフェに入った。En: On their way back, the two entered a nearby café.Ja: 温かい飲み物を手に、リクは静かに言った。「ユイ、今日は本当に大切なことを学んだよ。En: With a warm drink in hand, Riku quietly said, "Yui, I learned something really important today.Ja: 冒険は外の世界だけじゃなく、自分の中にもあるんだ。」En: Adventures aren't just in the outside world; they're within oneself too."Ja: 「それが分かれば、いい。」ユイは微笑んだ。En: "As long as you understand that, it's good." Yui smiled.Ja: 「これからも一緒にやっていこう。バランスを取りながら。」En: "Let's keep going together. Balancing both."Ja: リクは頷いた。「ありがとう、ユイ。僕もこれからは、もっとしっかり考えるよ。En: Riku nodded. "Thank you, Yui. From now on, I'll think more carefully.Ja: でも、冒険心は忘れない。」En: But I won't forget my spirit of adventure."Ja: 二人はまた笑顔で話し始めた。En: The two began talking again with smiles.Ja: 海遊館の冒険は、彼らにとって一つの新たな出発点となった。En: The adventure at the Kaiyukan Aquarium became a new starting point for them.Ja: 心の中に答えがあると、リクは信じ続けた。En: Riku continued to believe that the answer was within his heart.
