I still think of it as filler, tbh. :( There's very little it brought to the series that it didn't retcon right back out. I mean, it gave us explanations for what happened on Roxas's side between KH1/COM/KH2, but if Days had never existed, I can't think of anything important we'd be missing from the plot that couldn't have been tossed into a quick cutscene in FM+ or BBS, really. :(
That may be true, but the fact that 358/2 Days added so much more meaning to some of the series's most important characters still makes it an extremely significant game.

Also, I remember reading somewhere that Nomura said he would have liked to do a Days Final Mixbut the main reason why they could not is because 358/2 Days utilizes the DS cartridge space to the maximum. To add anymore content, they would have literally had to remove other content to make room for it. Given the game's mission-based system, I can't see a Re:358/2 Days coming anytime soon because most mission-based games are better on a handheld anyway. If a Re:358/2 Days would ever be made, I can only see it on the 3DS, to be honest.

Oh, it's definitely a good entry in the series if you really do want the backstory, and want the character development that came from it (not that there was much for anyone but Axel, Roxas and Xion XD)... or if you just like the gameplay. Buuut if you compare it to every other non-numbered game, it really doesn't compare. Sure, you can get by not knowing the story in all the other games--COM is almost completely written off when Naminé re-arranges Sora's memories and he forgets, so plotwise it works just fine if the gamer is just as clueless as Sora. For BBS, it's a prequel. It ties in and explains a bunch of things in-depth and gives origins, but you don't need it to understand the series, really. But Days? :( It covers the gap between KH1, COM and KH2. And before it existed, there weren't really any gaps to be filled, haha.

I liked Days but playing it twice made me kinda sick of it. 8( I wouldn't mind seeing it redone (if only for the possibility of WIFI MULTIPLAYER PLEASE ;_;) but I'm perfectly fine with it never getting an FM. 8(

I like Re:Coded, just to darn hard. Im just saying.
Days is a good game, just the repetitive mission, and I think its a filler, cause of Xion, how no one knows of her, after she is done with, and Nomura said that he didn't know what to do with Xion after Days so he cut of off of the series(wonders on BBS secret ending).
as for a Re:Days than I hope they make it not so annoying.
as for Re:Coded, it is surely one of the hardest KH games I have played.

Nomura didn't cut Xion off.
Spoiler:
She's one of the ones coming back in Kingdom Hearts III, based on BbS & Coded's secret endings.
Well Nomura did say he didnt know what to do with Xion.
But I guess he found out what to do with her.

Personally, my never-gonna-happen wish for the tenth anniversary is that KHI or II gets released on the PSN Store. Then at least I have a chance of playing it and not feeling bad for leeching my friend's console. I never really pay much attention to console games, and my Wii hates me.

Organization XIII is a collection of some of the coolest characters in the series, so I was quite happy for Days - even if most of the guys I liked were sent to Castle Oblivion almost immediately as the plot began. (Though, we did have Lexaeus slamming Roxas in the face, so it's not all bad, right? XD) I think it was probably just a tie-over to fill the gap leading up to BBS, but it was an enjoyable one with a good premise (one that fans of many other series have been wishing for and never got): let's go inside the evil team!

Also, NYAF = New York Anime Festival. It was merged with NYCC, though the staff did everything in their power to pretend that it didn't exist >>

Grr. Is anyone else having trouble with the fifth Xehanort Report? (This is the Xeeeehanort Report, gives you the looooooong and the short, every grunt, roar and snort, not a tale I distort in the Xeeeeeeehanoooooooort Report~!)

Yes. It was quite a good game as far as dialogue was concerned. <3

The credits said that Kairi was Hayden,
Spoiler:
but Xion wasn't listed, iirc.
That's why I got excited when I saw Axel's name on the list prior to seeing that movie and cried (again) when I saw
Spoiler:
Axel with Roxas on the tower.


Speaking of which, I may have found myself a RL Axel. <333

Kairi is voiced by Hayden in KH, KHII, and BbS's secret ending, Xion has been voiced by Alyson Stoner in both Days and BbS's secret ending, while voicing Kairi in reCoM & Days.

Well, Days and BBS will, in my opinion, always have the best versions of Dearly Beloved, so you can't write off Days that easily. xD

I'm glad Xion is coming back though. I totally fell in love with her character. I know I'll squeal like a fangirl when I hear her name just mentioned in Recoded.

Oh, I agree with that. Dearly Beloved for those two was epic - I love how Yoko Shimomura can make the same song different in each game (though wasn't CoM's version the same as Kh1's? I can't remember, to be honest.)

-doesn't like Xion all that much due to her (imo) hogging the limelight from Roxas- xD;;;

New amazing question because I randomly interject

and I apologize for interrupting. by the way, ROXAS FOREVER! Xion hogged screen time and took away from what could have been a more interesting story and final boss.

What character do you think influenced the series the most?

Spoiler:
I personally vote Ven because Sora is absolutely useless without him, Sora doesn't get the keyblade and becomes the equivilant of useless overall (unless you somehow give the ability to overpower by about infinity in Destiny Islands)

Yeah, I wanted to see more of Roxas interacting with the Organization members / seeing more of their lives rather than stuff about Xion.

That's obvious for me.

Actually No Sora is not useless without him.
Ven only gives him the power to use Two Keyblades.
His first Keyblade he got in KH1 is originally Riku's, but When he got it back from Riku, it was his own power, Not Ven.
Basically, When Ven's heart return to his body. Sora will still have his Keyblade power, but wont be able to use dual wield.

I think Sora, cause he has a more of a story than others, specially he is the Main Hero of the series.

I'm still gonna say who I said originally, because without an antagonist there would be no reason for Sora to be the hero.
KH3 is gonna be the last of Xehanort, then there will be a new Antagonist.
Sora will always be the Hero in the story.
and i know what you mean.

Well, it depends on how you view the question.

:/ Sora is a keyblade wielder mainly by accident/chance. Yeah, call it destiny, but if MX hadn't messed things up for TAV and if Terra hadn't run around messing things up on his own, Sora would never have been involved in the first place. So technically, yes he did have a big influence on how the story turned out but if things had been different way back in BBS, Sora would arguably just be a normal kid on DI going to school everyday.

Yeah but the fact he stole Riku's Power, and earned it by chosing his friends, and his pure of heart to gain the Keyblade's Power, so It is his own power now, not anyone elses power, but Sora.
and Master Xehanort is a big part, Im not saying he isnt. Just think Sora is bigger, cause He still has more story to come.

I managed to get Frozen Fortune and the ice cream Keyblade on Ven's file today. 8D Ice Cream Beat isn't so bad, it's the fruit game I hate. >_>; Did anyone else find Hand in Hand master mode easier than Dessert Paradise?

I sure did. I humbling asked Lightning nicely if she can do the Dessert Paradise cause I was ready to rip my hair out at the time, so she did, and I am very happy for it :33.

Maybe it was because I knew the songs better, but it took me a few tries to get 'Fantastic' on that one. My favourite has to be Blast Away! Gummi Ship II though; got a score of about 3700 which I'm proud of. xD; (Someone's probably gotten higher but oh well.)
