Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days Trailer (TGS 2008) (English Subs + Gameplay)

[gimmeurcash]

yeah xions cutee~

[MagmarFire]

You're darn right she is! >:D

[Whovian13]

Hey Magmar, did you get the game yet?

I did... the ending is friggin depressing.

I cried. Seriously.

[MagmarFire]

Yep, I did get it--first day it came out, too. :)

I also cried. In fact, one of the cutscenes is so shaking that I don't think I'm ready to watch it again for a while. :(

And let me tell ya, not many games have the ability to make me cry. In fact, the only other one I can think of that actually did the first time was Ocarina of Time. T_T

[Whovian13]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this was actually the FIRST game to make me cry over what happened to the characters...

[MagmarFire]

*pats back* It's okay, man. We'll cry together. :')

[XxLugiaFreakxX]

OMG O_O

[ArtemisTheBratPrince]

Here's another strong theory to add...

Remember in KH2 when Kairi says while she lets the bottle float in the sea:

"I wrote a letter to the boy I can't remember. When I stopped writing, I remembered we made a promise, something important."

The beginning of this trailer is Xion saying:

"I can't remember... it's something important..."

[MagmarFire]

Wow, that is a good connection. I've never noticed that before! Oo

[named244]

Who's Nobody is Xion?

[MagmarFire]

Nobody knows yet.

[ArtemisTheBratPrince]

She has Kairi's memories. There's a a rumor going around that Xion is Kairi's true nobody, since Xion can fight while Kairi can't.

[MagmarFire]

I can't say that I've heard yet that she does have Kairi's memories. I thought she only had Sora's. *shrugs*

Xion being Kairi's true Nobody is a strong theory, though, since it would explain why they look so much alike. However, a question does arise if this theory is considered true: Why isn't Xion's name an anagram of Kairi's name with an X? The name of every member in the Organization supposedly follows this pattern, and it would be strange indeed if the pattern were broken even once.

[ArtemisTheBratPrince]

Maybe she's a part of Sora's memory chain... Since I think she doesn't know who is because of the broken CoM that Namine is fixing.

Though, Xion wouldn't know who or what she was if she's a part of Sora's lost memories, that could explain it.

Also, use photoshop or MS Paint, find a pic of Kairi and make her hair black. It's exactly the same.

[squallalpha]

Xion...

N is the 1st letter of Naminé

O is the 2nd letter of Sora

I is the 3rd letter of Kairi

I believe her existence is linked with the fact that Kairi "lost" her heart and it was hidden inside Sora's until he lost hiw own to save Kairi and Disney Princessess @ KH1 Hollow Bastion.

[MagmarFire]

The second theory is a strong one and would make sense. Her name's etymology, on the other hand, seems like a bit of a stretch to me. I mean, 'i' and 'o' are some of the most commonly used letters in the English language. The 'o' could be a connection to Olette, following similar logic. :/

[vegetrunks09]

well if Xion is Kairi's true nobody, then what would that make Namine. I mean its hinted around that fact all through KH2 but even Namine isnt an anagram of Kairi with an X. am i missing something?

[MagmarFire]

It only seems that Nobodies who are a part of the Organization get an anagram of their original name with an 'x' added. Since Namine isn't a part of the Organization, she doesn't get the anagram.

[vegetrunks09]

well could it be possible that both of them are two halfs of one nobody? it would explain why one has Kairi's looks and the other has her memories

[MagmarFire]

Possibly. I mean, if Namine can be an incredibly unstable Nobody created from Sora's body and soul, anything can happen.

[mrv225]

i dont mean to sound stupid but what is Q3

[MagmarFire]

Q3 means "third quarter," which basically means it's expected to come out this fall, from my understanding.

[mrv225]

cool thanks that makes alot of sence really

[ryotiyken]

Q3 would be summer and it's comming out in the US in August.

[MagmarFire]

I believe the August release date was confirmed to be false, which is why I changed the tentative date on the video.

Secondly, you're right about correcting me about the fiscal definition of Q3. However, it's not just summer; it also includes some of spring. Plus, on top of all that, August is in Q4 of the fiscal year, not Q3.

Thirdly, I wasn't told if it was the third quarter of a fiscal year or calendar year. It would be good if it's a fiscal year, which means it would come out earlier. ^_^

[Jimio14]

how and were did you get this trailer from?

[MagmarFire]

Knowing her, it will probably be very evil. XD

[DragonballzFan935]

Fucking brillant trailer and game.

[sammykh2]

i have always loved kingdom hearts in my whole life!!!!! but i cannot understand its storyline!!! why riku wears that mask??? what is the organisation's role?? if roxas is sora's nobody, why isn't he dark like the other nobodies?? who is xion?? why riku has joined the organization?? how come axel became good because in kH: chains of memories and KH2 he was one of the bad guys??!!! A LOT OF CONFUSION!! BUT I'LL LIKE KINGDOM HEARTS FOREVER!!! BUT CAN SOMEONE EXPAIN TO ME ALL OF THIS??? REPLY BACK!

[MagmarFire]

Then I have a few answers. ;)

It seems Riku wears the blindfold to protect himself from Xehanort's Heartless. This really hasn't been touched upon very much in the series at all, so there's still room for explanation.

The Organization are trying to get their hearts back so they can exist in light and darkness instead of neither. Of course, Xemnas seems to care more for ultimate power than anything else...

The other Nobodies aren't really dark, per se, but I guess the reason is because Roxas

[MagmarFire]

is said to have a portion of Sora's heart. That would explain a portion of his apparent scent of morality.

As for Xion...no one really knows yet other than that she's the fourteenth member of Organization XIII.

Riku joined the Organization because he wants to get close to Xion. :3 ...Okay, I'm joking (or am I...? ;) ); Riku isn't a part of the Organization. He wears the cloak because it hides its wearer's scent of existence or something. If he didn't have it, the remaining members would be

[MagmarFire]

able to track him down and likely get revenge on him.

Finally, "bad" and "good" are such relative terms... Even Namine doesn't know for sure whether the members of the Organization are evil or not: "Bad or good... I don't know. They're a group of incomplete people who wish to be whole."

Hope this helps. ;)

[Deoxys200222]

Axel wasnt bad in KH2. He just got mad at Roxas. He helps Sora fight that hoard of Nobodies remember?

[ArtemisTheBratPrince]

It'd be funny if his true self was Riku...

[MagmarFire]

Here's hoping, buddy. Here's hoping. :)

[MagmarFire]

'Twould be cool, especially if multiplayer isn't sacrificed. And if the HUD is revamped so it's back to the complex arc-shaped health bar and if characters' faces have that recoil in the HUD whenever they take damage. Birth by Sleep doesn't have the latter for some reason, and I am sad about that. =(

[MagmarFire]

Yush, she is. :3

Yeah, she'll likely go bye-bye (*cries a little*), but I have heard somewhere that Organization XIII MAY make a future return to the series after this. Can't confirm it, but I cross my fingers in hope for this.

However, she should, at the very least, be playable in multiplayer. Here's hoping.

[sceneallypanda]

I love Axel! He's a sexy beast...

And I like Xion better than Namine....

[manga292]

i get it!! while sora is being restored some of his memoires are flowing out creating xion. hes trying to remember kairi hence why xion resembles her!! good theory eh?

[OMGitsMELx33]

i like your theory!! :DDD

[MagmarFire]

It is a good theory, and since Xion is said to have a "special birth" like Namine, it wouldn't surprise me.

But if she dies... T____________T

[manga292]

she mostly likely wont die. she'll fade away~ lol

[MagmarFire]

Not helping! XD

Dang, why'd Nomura have to make her so freaking adorable? It's always the adorable characters that kick the bucket in supposedly sad stories like these! T.T

[manga292]

i know right! shes sooo cute~ and she going to get the boot... but then again doing stories like this always make them even better! like when nomura's FF7 got awesome even when aerith/aeris died. it just added up to the games story either way i need to get a ds to get this game :3

[MagmarFire]

Oh, yeah, FFVII was epic...

Here's hoping you get that DS soon, then. :)

[khcrazy10]

And Just like Aerith, who knows? Maybe they'll make a game where Xion comes back like Auron did in KH II or a completely different game where Xion is a character like Aerith was in KH. Oh why did I have to pick a character that'll likely die to fandub on my account?

[TheYoutubinator]

Oh. I got confused when Xion said "Kairi... The girl who resembles me..."

[TheYoutubinator]

Wait, I thought Namine was Kairi's nobody. in the end of #2, Namine is... umm... "absorbed" into Kairi. While Sora's definite nobody was "absorbed" into him. So who's Kairi's nobody?

[MagmarFire]

Nami is Kairi's Nobody, according to DiZ. We don't know who Xion is yet. ;)

[EGPicturesStudios]

Same here. I don't who is Kairi's Nobody. Xion looks like Kairi but black hair.

[Morghman]

I just got a theory, what if Xion is Kairi's special Heartless?

[MagmarFire]

It wouldn't make much sense to me, personally, since Kairi had no darkness in her heart to make a Heartless in the first place. If she were her a Heartless spawned from Kairi, her heart would have to be very, very strong to have a Heartless be a humanoid shape. Xehanort's Heartless is the only known Heartless in a definite human form--even Sora's Heartless was a mere Shadow.

An interesting theory, nonetheless. Let's see if it holds its own when Days comes out. ;)
