(SPOILERS) Roxas's Diary Entries

[*TwilightNight*]

Someone actually translated them, and it makes it so much worthwhile. Not anything new or so, but it's nice to see what he wrote with each event:

0kingdom_hearts: 358/2 Days: Roxas' Diary

Apparently, the Secret Reports you get by the end of the game, and from what I read there, seems to be from different viewpoints. One from Axel, someone else about Axel's actions in Castle Oblivion, and Xion.

a person in gamefaqs posted this
but im not sure if they are real
0kingdom_hearts: 358/2 Days: Roxas' Diary

 

[*TwilightNight*]

They are the same thing.

Either way, don't see why they would lie. Especially if placing kanji at certain times. If anything, that's the best of what we can get.

 

[Raz]

Roxas should be gigantic after all the ice-cream.
If Nobodies don't gain weight, sign me up. :/

 

[Hypoxium]

My first holiday. But, I didn't know what to do. I was told to do whatever I liked, so I went to the clock tower to eat ice-cream.

Wow.

 

[Chakolat Strawberry]

Is half of this Roxas eating ice cream? Sorry, but it seems like a second grader wrote this ._.

 

[Hypoxium]

Is half of this Roxas eating ice cream?

Yeah, that's pretty much his entire life besides doing missions.

 

[WilliamTheWise]

Is half of this Roxas eating ice cream?

Yes or thinking about asking Xion about her dreams or giving the winner stick to Axel and talking about Sora

 

[Wehrmacht]

Yeah, that's pretty much his entire life besides doing missions.

or worrying about xion

 

[Raz]

He must have the worst memory. He never freaking remembers to give Axel the stick or ask Xion whatever.

 

[*TwilightNight*]

We already got that the Organization life is kind of boring. When I kept reading the Novel translations, that's all that kept popping up. The castle is boring. This is boring. There's nothing to do. It's unsatisfying. Larxene was more bothered by this, since she kept bringing it up. In fact, I wouldn't blame her if her attitude came from wanting some fun =P.

And you can't really blame Roxas. He's the penchant of memory problems, minus Xion, I mean. And I do think he does end up giving the stick to Axel. People have commented on it, at least. The competition and its symbolism of it. Though that leads of what you think of Axel and Xion, and the trio as a whole, which can be another thread, so it ends.

Axel gives bad advice, though >.>. Hmph. Roxas, you fool. Trusting him with knowing everything.

 

[afrokeith]

sweet now i somewhat understand whats going on in the game!

 

[Hypoxium]

I'm pretty sure Axel finds the stick when Roxas leaves or something.

I know I saw the cutscene.

 

[afrokeith]

I think he needs to go to a meeting for ice cream addiction..

 

[*TwilightNight*]

I'm pretty sure Axel finds the stick when Roxas leaves or something.

I know I saw the cutscene.

Ah, that explains it.

Axel "won" the fight over Roxas.

I LOVE that meaning. It was an awesome insert. More so at the end. Especially since Roxas was wanting to give it to him, but never could.

 

[WilliamTheWise]

I'm pretty sure Axel finds the stick when Roxas leaves or something.

He does. After Roxas leaves he puts the stick and a note next to Axel's bed. It happens after Roxas beats Xion

 

[Raz]

Ah, that explains it.

Axel "won" the fight over Roxas.

I LOVE that meaning. It was an awesome insert. More so at the end. Especially since Roxas was wanting to give it to him, but never could.

It's awfully sad, though.

 

[gelandporn]

Sorry, but it seems like a second grader wrote this ._.

I actually enjoyed the charm of the diary's simplicity. If you're reading the journal of somehow who doesn't know what a "best friend" or "heart" is, I think "second grader" writing is to be expected. They captured the tone of his innocence.

He must have the worst memory.

What was up with him "forgetting" about the beach on Day 276? :/

 

[Zero Sora]

I think that Roxas' diary is sad from his point of view, it really seems like he is trying to understand all that he can, but can't. Learning things like friendship and trying to find out the meaning of his existence. Maybe it's just me, but I like how these diary entries show Roxas' thoughts and feelings. It kind of shows us how his personality is finally formed by the time of KH2

 

[*TwilightNight*]

It's awfully sad, though.

I find it ironic.

Which is the reason why I like it, even if it's something small. Symbolism is great. Granted, I always knew Axel wasn't that close to Xion as much as he was with Roxas, his attitude was odd when you place them in comparison to each other. And he got irritated when Roxas was off spending too much time with her (I've been in the same situation, and can relate to it. Trust me when I say that in this case, it's Roxas's friendship that matters to him, as that's whose attention he's vying for). In retrospect, he got what he wanted in the end. He won the battle. No more competition. You could even say it was by default, due to Xion's demise. But figuratively, Roxas was planning to give it to him, and now, with the confirmation, did leave it for him along with a note by his bedside. Meaning Roxas reciprocated.

Axel got Roxas for him alone, hence "winner".

But ended up losing him anyway once Xion's story caused Roxas to go find himself.
