Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Anyone Else Excited?

All I have to say is that I give a big, resounding YES to the question asked in the title of this thread.

Over three years after the release of Kingdom Hearts II {which sets the standard pretty high for all sequels} it seems that the Disney/Square combination knows what they're doing in creating more games for the Kingdom Hearts series.

Their new goal to tackle this time? A new platform of gameplay to fit the times - The Nintendo DS.

And might I say that Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days looks like it will be utilizing the DS magnificently. The story follows the time in between the creation of Roxas after the first Kingdom Hearts game up to his time in digital Twilight Town in the second game. It also shows a new fourteenth member of Organization XIII, a girl named Xion with unexplained connections to Sora himself (she looks a lot like Kairi to me).

All members of Organization XIII will be playable (YES!!) and the game will also feature DS Wireless play with friends, so that you can go on multi-player missions.

The game has already been released in Japan, but will hit the shelves in North America 29 September of this year.

I, for one, already have my copy pre-ordered and taken care of at my local GameStop (along with Final Fantasy Dissidia, but that's much less related to this site).

A new trailer was released during E3 a few weeks ago which really illustrates the gameplay, as well as a bit of the story - and also features Utada Hikaru once again ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jreUl6er1oY

On another note - Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is also in the making between Disney and Square, and will be released for PSP sometime in the future with a story showing a prequel before the events of the first Kingdom Hearts.

PS :: If you already know spoiler details about the game please do not post them. I, for one, like to be surprised about my games when I play them.

I am so excited for this game to come out..They said it's to be released at the end of September...I do hope that during MNSSHP they'd bring out Sora again for Meet & Greets. Even tho I'll be going as Sora in KH2 Style with Mickey's Kingdom Key D!

Again? You mean he's been there before??? Now I'm definitely planning another halloween trip! KH is the best video game series ever. It's the only reason I'm going to buy a PS3 when KH3 comes out!

Sora was only out at 2004's Not So Scary Halloween party. It was for the Release of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories..Donald & Goofy were also in there KH outfits which was awesome! These were taken in the lobby of the old Timekeeper show which is now the Laugh Floor.. I was so excited to get these pictures..

Anywho...It would be great to see him if they do bring him out..However it's very very slim chance he will be out.....But on the plus side. I'll be taking Tons...and I mean Tons of Pictures that will make a KH Fan go crazy for!

And to recap this is what I'll be wearing when I go back on October 2nd my birthday :D:sohappy:

I'll be bringing Mickey's Kingdom Key Blade (His gold key). I'm hoping to get a picture with him and me holding the keyblade together

Thanks for the AWESOME pictures! I'm so jealous! I hope they come out again now that a new game is launching for the DS. Your Sora costume is sweet, I especially like the Chain Of Memories cards! I bought my boyfriend a full sized keyblade for Christmas one year...now we just need a costume to go with it!

I bought it a day after it came out. I got it at a shop in a big shopping center called Daiei (they're all over the place where I live) for a LOT cheaper than they were selling it in other shops nearby. It was weird...


The game is AWESOME. Controls were a bit annoying at first, and controlling Roxas still gives me a major cramp in the thumb during certain battles, but you get used to it a little...

There are some VERY hilariously cute scenes in this game. My favorites occur in the day "Friend" (14, right?), the day called "Love" (day 171?), and... that day where Axel and Roxas go to Neverland and Axel tries to fly (you can read a translation of that scene here:http://ruthyuki999.livejournal.com/156890.html.) :ROFLOL:

I also love Roxas's diary entries. His naivety and the way he looks up to Axel is just adorable. x]

Okaaay... shutting up now. :D

Less than two more months, guys! I'm getting so excited my fingers are twitching, haha.

And I'm also excited to see those amazing pictures of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in the Magic Kingdom!!! I can't believe I won't be there cosplaying until NEXT Halloween - if they only come out for game releases, they'll probably only have Kingdom Hearts characters this year *sigh*

PS :: If anyone is by chance interested in my KH cosplays, I posted them yesterday in another thread, haha.

As psyked out as I am for this game, I'm way more excited about BBS. Apparently that's the one that will have the largest impact on KH3.

BTW, anyone thinking/hoping that Kh3 will come out on Xbox 360?

I'd just be happy with KH3 coming out, or at least some sort of news that it's being worked on....it's hard to believe it's already been 4 years since number 2 came out, but yet it almost seems like there's a new Final Fantasy game every other year.....go figure!!
I wouldn't mind a sequel to the Chip 'n' Dale's Racing Tour that originally was on the first Playstation, while we're at it.

I got my copy last Tuesday when it came out and I love it so far :D Unfortunately, I work about 60 hrs/wk so I only get to play occasionally but I'm on Day 56. I basically just passed the opening tutorial. The story is great and explains a lot about Roxas. MUCH better than Chain of Memories on the gba (although Re: Chain of Memories on PS2 is a very good game). I was also suckered into getting the $20 walkthrough guide from Brady Games. "They make it so you can't beat the game if you don't have the guide. It's extortion!" - Rex, Toy Story 2 :hammer:

I got my English copy recently. Heheheh... I love comparing the translated version to the Japanese one. It seems as though they replaced every foul-mouthed utterance with sarcasm. A part of me misses seeing Roxas irritatedly exclaiming "KUSO!" every so often... sigh... or Pete, for that matter. It was hilarious when Pete did it.

I do agree, Day is sooooooo much better than CoM. My favorite scenes still remain unchanged, except I think I love the scene where Lexaeus punches Roxas just a bit more in English. xD
