Kingdom Hearts

Finally finished 358/2 Days. So much fun. It was a lot better than Chains of Memories, but KHII is still the best in the series.


It amuses me so much that Axel's original name was 'Lea'. I said that years ago, but other fans said "no", that he'd never have a "girl's" name.

Speaking of Axel, I was feeling really bad for him by the end. I think Roxas was too hard on him. But at least there's an explanation now to why Roxas was such a jerk to him when he (Roxas) was leaving the Organization. That scene always seemed off in KHII, because they were suppose to be best friends yet Roxas barely looked at Axel when he was leaving.

The Ven cameo (when Xigbar sees Xion as him) was interesting. There's been so much build up to a huge connection between Ven and Sora; I'm anxious to see how it plays out.

I liked how Xaldin was always hanging around Beast's Castle. I thought it was a nice tie-in to KHII.
Every mission with Demyx made me groan. I like the kid, he's amusing but he's a really bad partner in that he always runs off and lets Roxas do all the work. He's still better than Marluxia though.

Poor Xion. It would suck to be told "Sorry, you can't exist because you need to be apart of someone else".

Actually, poor Roxas too, since the same thing happens to him.

And Naminé.

My favourite characters (Axel, Roxas and Naminé) really have crappy outcomes in this series. It makes me worried about Aqua since, just going by what I've seen, she seems pretty awesome and is a favourite character candidature for the prequel and we already know Lea's fate.

I liked how the very last day of the game is the first day of KHII. With KHII, I thought it was really unclear how long Roxas was in the digital Twilight Town. Axel's reaction when he found Roxas always made me think it was longer than a few days. The shipper in me loves it since after only a few days Axel was missing Roxas that much. For someone without a heart, Axel certainly doesn't act like it.

I really can't wait for Birth by Sleep now, even though it's going to be awhile since it's not even out in Japan yet. I know it's a prequel so the usual characters won't be in it, but various real selves of Organization members are in it and I'm interested in learning about who they were before they became Nobodies.

I forgot to try casual gear!

Lea and Isa appear around the 4 min mark of this trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V4spdfg2gA). I'm not sure what their role is, but they seem pretty nice which makes me wonder how they become Heartless.

It looks very nice. Is that mini-game? The board game and dice thingy? Or it's the new gumi-ship system? But the movement would be more complicate... Me suck at action game ;_;

I'm not sure what the board and dice thingy is. It might be how you move words since I saw Aqua riding a ship at one point on the board, but that's just a guess as I have no clue.

The game is suppose to be out in Japan soon so hopefully there will soon be more information.
