And I think being able to view the events from the eyes of all three protagonists helped to make a stronger connection with them. We walk with them in tandem and see everything through their perspective. It gives us a more rounded understanding of the characters and the circumstances they found themselves in. Their struggle was our struggle and it made the losses more real in that sense.
Through out the kingdom hearts series we have seen events unfold that are not quite the happiest of tales... But which game do you believe is the most tragic? I think BBS was a very tragic game considering all of the main characters got screwed over at the end.
I'd have to say Days was the most tragic game, in terms of perspective. We as the player know what's going to happen to the cast long before it happens. While Xion was new to us, before DDD we knew she wouldn't be returning, simply because of her absence from Kingdom Hearts II. It honestly just feels like the characters are fighting a losing battle the entire time.
We gain an insight on a friendship that was torn apart, not by some outside force, but from their own Organization. Roxas is outright forced to fight and kill one of his best friends, and by the same notion, so is Xion. It worsens the blow once we know only one of them gets to live and the other has to disappear forever. It definitely isn't the same as BbS.
Atleast in BbS, each character (outside of Ventus) were allowed to make their own choices in the game, and that ultimately decided the outcome of their respective stories.
Both games are tragic in their own way, but Days takes the cake, simply because we know they have no hope from the very start.
Neither did the BBS guys
They had no hope from the very start as well because they weren't even in KH1, or KH2...not even mentioned via names, or even remembered
The most tragic are the unnamed and unseen NPCs that gave up their hearts and bodies for us to grind on.
I definitely didn't mean to give the BbS trio the cold shoulder, I'm just talking about it in a perspective point of view (before we knew about BbS and DDD) we know exactly what happens to the Days cast (outside of Xion).Neither did the BBS guys

We can tell each other the truth, be it by facts or pointing out events but in the end we can't change the experience of emotions we went through.
I really like hearing those opinions, though. Sometimes you come across things that you yourself might not have thought of, and there's no shame in changing your opinion or trying to get others to see your point.Correct, that's why a truly objective statement of which is/was most tragic isn't really possible.
There's always a subjective factor included and I personally also do not really like to offset some people's suffering against that of others.
To say that Person X "suffers more" than Person Y always has the danger of somehow invalidating or dismissing Person Y's problems.
