Everything We Know About 358/2 Days | Xion So Far

[Orion]

I wouldn't have a clue.

 

[Radon]

Well I would approve of that if it were the case. Although I would also like Riku to star in Reverse Rebirth 2.

Dunno if this has been posted, but hells wit it.

- Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (9/9/9/9, 36 points): "From the story to the game system to the graphics and amount of volume, there isn't a single weakness," as one reviewer put it. That about sums up the Famitsu take on Square Enix's latest KH spinoff, one that they had hardly any complaints about besides some occasionally wobbly NPC AI. Co-op play "is easy to get into and remarkably fun," the panel-based character customization "can change things drastically depending on how the panels come together," and "being able to look into the XIII Organization's story is incredibly interesting." One reviewer even brought up the picture quality on the movie cutscenes, which "amazed" him.

That's what the Japanese think. Once that it gets released in the States, I'll expect low reviews from Metacritic and Gameinformer, etc.

Supposedly Re:CoM was agruably the best yet it recieved the lowest score.

RE:COM was the best in terms of storyline, but though the card system was fun and challenging, it was presented as a little clumsy and can be quite annoying in some parts, and since its battle system was different from the other PS2 titles, some players may have given up on it. That probably contributed to the lower score.

I wouldn't say low. Just not perfect. Lots of KH games have gotten grand reviews in the States.

I have a question. In the gameplay tutorials of all the organization memebers we see them performing different kinds of combos. tell me is taht because of the weapons they have equipped or is it a product of the panel system?

It's probably the panel system. With Sora, the kind of Keyblade didn't effect his moves, but one Keyblade who give him an extra move. That could be the same with Gears.

 

[Orion]

There's a certain panel or ability that allows the combo to split in one of two directions, like how pressing Square in a KH2 combo could branch out into an entirely different one.

 

[TheChampIsHere]

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is panels. As with the keyblades stated Hershey, the different weapons may equip a different ability, and have different stats, but I don't believe they will change the moves they have. Some moves are probably more effective with certain attacks though.

 

[Azrael]

By the way, since the game is coming soon, why not transfer all 358/2-related threads to a seperate Days section

 

[Raz]

I think that's a good idea. Days is about to be "FoKH" no more, and just KH...

 

[Rebel7]

I really hope this game doesnt have the COM effect

Sure it had excellent points for the storyline but gameplay sucked

But from what ive seen it looks good

 

[Raz]

The gameplay has been praised more than anything, so I wouldn't worry.

On the topic of a possible R/R 2, I'm finding it more and more likely. There are tons of scenes with just Riku in them, with Roxas no where in sight. Riku with Mickey, Riku talking to Namine in the White Room. I really hope it turns out.

And you'd prefer the normal hack-and-slash button mashing of KH2 that requires no skill whatsoever?

That what I'm thinking too. I mean way would they show Riku talking to Xion or Mickey and Roxas is no where. I really hope we get another R/R that would be fun. I wounder if this is the surprise that Nomura was talking about.

 

[Chakolat Strawberry]

That or a brand new world we never seen *coughnotredamecough*
I'd love both of those.

 

[Lolita]

R/R? Sorry for being stupid. xD;; /wat

I'd like in future KH games for a Notredame world.<3
