Most of that was irrelevant to the story. Half the Org gets offed within the first couple of hours, and other than eat ice cream after almost every mission, Roxas didn't do much of anything. Riku only appeared, what, maybe twice or three times over the course of the game, and did mostly nothing.
Xion wasn't handled well at all imo. There was no point in the story where I cared what happened to her. Even towards the end where things supposedly got "emotional" I felt absolutely nothing. Hell, I felt more sorry for Replica Riku than I did for Xion.I was glad to see her die.
Without CoM, the story falls apart completely. Without Days, the worst that could happen is we don't get more Axel. Because that's all Days was, a chance to get some Roxas/Axel friendship time.

I remember purchasing PS3 because for some reason I thought KH3 would come out on it. So foolish![]()
Can't wait to finally play this.
Can't wait to play though FFX either (which I only played for a few hours since my ps2 crapped out on me).

At least Kairi is going to be more useful in the future. Same can't be said for Xion. But I do agree that her music is great. SO at least she has that going for her.
Great trailer but still bitter about not having this on VITA.
I will forgive them for it because not only did it set up one of the saddest moments in Kingdom Hearts we got this track because of her.
Musique pour la tristesse de Xion
We could argue all day about how Days or CoM is or is not relevant to the story, but I don't want to derail this thread any more than I already have, so I think we can agree to disagree xDConversely, most of what happens in CoM could be seen as irrelevant to the story. The only world that actually serves a purpose, other than being a gateway to the next white room, is Twilight Town. Only about 3 of the organization members actually serve a purpose to the plot, while the others are just walls for either Sora or Riku to break through. And Riku was kind of the final boss of Days, so I'd say he had a pretty important role in both games.
And to be clear, I am not saying Days is more important than CoM. Obviously any story where Sora is the main protagonist will always be more important. However, there was a lot of stuff that occurred in Days that allowed us to watch Roxas develop into a well rounded character. This was especially meaningful to those of us who found the Kingdom Hearts 2 prologue to be well paced and emotionally satisfying. If you think about it, Days and KH2 prologue are completely different from the rest of the series.
Riku replica's story was sad, too, but being able to connect with Xion for a full game made me a bit sadder when she perished. Especially when you find out she did it to save someone she never met.
Do I really have to meet...
Your Father??

I'm expecting KH3 when it eventually comes out to have lots of Star Wars... gotta milk that license.
Shit this always stood out to me whenever the intro played in the first game.
nice. now announce KH3 PS4,
Well sure, some people have gone through high school, college and landed a job in that time frame.
But just think how amazing KH3 is going to look having missed an entire generation.
It's a real crime that we went a whole generation (an abnormally long one too) without Kingdom Hearts 3 or even any great Square titles for that matter
holy hell i was a freshman in high school when KH2 came out. i'm a college graduate now. damn i feel old. ;_;
please let there be a KH3 soon.
So...was I the only one who literally almost shed a tear when Xion was disappearing in Roxas's arms (barring the awful "but who will I eat ice cream with" line)? I know 358/2 had awful gameplay, but I thought the story was pretty darn good.

I hate to say this, but I never played Kingdom of Hearts. My roomate loved it but mixing Squares with Disney never settled well with me. So I'm willing to give it a shot if the game hold up well by today's standards?
nice. now announce KH3 PS4,
It was finished with KH2. KH1/CoM/KH2 was the "trilogy". BBS/DDD/KH3 are a second arc in my mind.The fact that it's taken this long to finish this one story arc...smh.
You're funny.nice. now announce KH3 PS4,
