TRAILER SUMMARY 358/2 Days from The Light in Chaos & FF&KH Online
| BGM: Passion -after the battle- Xion: Who the heck am I...? Destiny Island. Roxas is standing on the shore and picks up a shell. Roxas: Xion... Twilight Town. In the pod room Sora sleeps. Namine: If it's connected to another memory, surely she can't endure it Diz: She? Beast's Castle. It looks like it immediately follows the DKS3713 scene. Riku defeats Xion, she is fallen over, the keyblade that left her hand disappears. Xion: You say this keyblade is a fake...? Don't say such a selfish thing! Xion moves to grab the abandoned keyblade. Xion: Hyaa--! Riku avoids her attack and deals a blow to her side. Xion: Augh... Riku: Here's some friendly advice, get away from those guy's base immediately Riku: If you do, you can be together with those two people Riku starts to walk away. Destiny Islands. Riku and Xion are talking beside the paopu tree. Xion: Do you hate me for taking away your friends? Riku: No... But I'm sad Xion: I'm sorry, but I can't disappear now The King and Riku (as Ansem) appear in the forest. Riku puts on the blindfold and regains his original appearance. Destiny Island. Axel, Roxas, and Xion are together by the paopu tree. Xion: Do I not exist? Axel: What are you going to do, Xion? Xion: I... I want to be together with the two of you Roxas: Well, then come back Xion: But... I can't return as it is now Xion: How can two people be the same? Twilight Town forest outskirts. Xion is being detained by Axel. Axel: Xion! ... What are you doing? Xion: I'm... I'm going back to where I belong Axel: At first, I thought that was the best thing to do too... Axel: But... I couldn't accept that. There had to be something else. Axel: Even if I become a dusk, it's fine. Xion: At any rate, I'll still be erased. Twilight Town. Xion: Should I call you Roxas? Roxas: (Blogger can't remember, but something to the gist of "It's nice to meet you Xion.") The World That Never Was. Saix: Your worthless friendship or the annihilation of Roxas Saix: Which one is more important to you? Beast's Castle. Xaldin (So it seems): The master turned into a monster? (It's probably part of the mission in Beast's Castle) Blogger forgot where. Xion finds a seashell. Xion: This, it was put here for me. She puts the shell to her ear. Xion: I can hear it... Yeah, I can hear the sound of the waves. Twilight Town. Roxas: Xion can use the keyblade too. White Room. Axel: There's nothing here. Xion: Lies! My secret is here ???. Roxas: If Xion and I are special Nobodies, (blogger forgot) ??? Roxas and Xemnas are talking. Roxas: What's wrong with ___? Xemnas: It's an important Organization member, I'm going to take a rest now. ??? Xion is sitting with her knee pulled up. Xion: What should I do...Riku? ??? Axel (So it seems): Recently it's Xion who has escaped. Castle Oblivion (Destiny Island world) Roxas: Huh? Zexion: Surely you knew this would happen Riku: Why would I know that!? Riku is standing behind Roxas. It's very similar to the scene in Chain of memories, except that Roxas is present. Twilight Town, the clocktower. Axel and Roxas are waiting for Xion. Axel plops himself down beside Roxas. Roxas: Still... It's getting late After Roxas mutters, Axel stands up. Twilight Town, open tram space. Roxas is on his own and Xion turns the keyblade on him, then Axel enters. Roxas: Wait! Xion points the keyblade toward him. Roxas: !! As they are about to fight, a chakram flies out and Axel appears. Then Axel and Xion begin fighting. Roxas: Cut it out! Xion: Hya--! Ha--! She fights back against Axel, they don't hear Roxas's voice at all. By the way, Axel fights in complete silence. Roxas looks to the sky. Roxas: Stop it! Also, Roxas does not have his keyblade. -Battle scenes- A mission where Xion is wearing her hood is shown. The first appearance of multiplayer mode with Demyx and Luxord is also shown. Olympus Coliseum. As Roxas fights on his own, Sora seems to bear the damage he takes too. On the top screen Roxas fighting Heartless and this HP display is shown. On the bottom screen, Sora is shown without the HP display and Heartless. Twilight Town clocktower. Roxas and Xion are there, she is wearing her hood. Xion stands up. Roxas: Huh? Xion removes her hood, Roxas looks surprised. Xion: My power, it's going to be fulfilled very soon. Like a vessel overflowing with water, now my memory is full of memories of Roxas. To Roxas... How do I appear now? The title appears, coming this Spring. |
Kanae-san from the Light in Chaos blog has played the 358/2 Days multiplayer demo. She wanted to play as Demyx, but another player stole him. So she played as Luxord. He reportedly fights by scattering around cards which gives a wide attack range. He has high magic stats but low mobility, also doesn't jump very high. She came in first.
Final Eclipse blogger Leno is reporting that Demyx and Luxord are now playable options in the multiplayer 358/2 Days demo.
According to Independent blog, the release date for 358/2 Days has been postponed from February 2009 to "Spring 2009".
FF&KH Online blogger Kanae-san played the demo with Xigbar and reports the content is the same. She especially noticed the Heartless whose attacks froze Roxas' feet for a moment, preventing the player from attacking. She's going to play the Mobile demo next.
- Axel in Twilight Town
- Xaldin in Beast's Castle
- Xigbar in Halloween Town
Air's World blog is reporting that Aqua was playable in the Birth by Sleep demo, though they are not completely familiar with the Kingdom Hearts series so this is tentative.
In other news, Square Enix North America has launched their 358/2 Days Official Site. It is currently just a splash page, but we'll keep you posted about future updates. They also remodeled their Official Kingdom Hearts portal site, now its very sleek and up to date.
