    Hello KH-Vids! After learning that this year's Jump Festa event is coming to Japan from the 17th-18th of December; we've also stumbled upon a very special Kingdom Hearts anniversary...or have we?

    Just kidding! I'm serious. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days turned two years old today. We actually mentioned another anniversary early this month for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It appears that Kingdom Hearts is taking over the world...or maybe that's Xehanort. I wonder if he's the one to blame for 2012. Well at any rate, I hope Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance releases before December 21st 2012.

    Happy 358/2 Days! How many days have you been in the organization?

    Also some other important dates. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days turns two years old in Europe on October 8th. Don't forget that the first Kingdom Hearts title also turned a year old in North America this month as well! The original date for Kingdom Hearts was September 17th 2002. Nine years ago...yea okay I don't need to point out how old we are today. I think we get the point...right?

      Congrats 358/2! Easily one of my fav DS Games..it's a lot better than Re:coded in many ways.

      I'm trying to remember the release date for re:coded in Japan. Didn't it release in October? I suppose it's 1st birthday is coming up.

      Jeez, 9 years ago...
      Most of the original fans must be in their late teens/early twenties.

      If I don't hear news about KH 3 after KH1 is a decade old... I will personally rod Nomura.

      Jesus, has it really been that long already?
      It almost feels like the other day when I got my copy of KH2... *nostalgia*

      I'm proud to still be a member of the fandom, though <3



      I'm through being cheezy now.

      Man, time really does fly. I can't believe it's been that long.

      But if 2012 does happen because of Xehanort, and the world gets taken by darkness and I end up on a different world, I would personally thank him. It would take the boringness out of my life

      Days: One of My Favorite Kingdom Hearts Games

      Oh, Days... sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that appreciates you.

      Yep. I'm a huge fan of this one. And I don't get why everyone hates it. I, personally, think Xion is a great character. She's one of the females (and yes I consider her that for many legitimate reasons) I can look up to (like Aqua). While I love Kairi and Naminé, Kairi doesn't do much. And Naminé is used a lot. And I don't think she always knows right from wrong.

      But, yes, Xion is a strong female character that's very dynamic. She can be fun, sweet, sarcastic, sad, angry, selfless, enduring... she has a lot of great traits. And she fought against a future she didn't want. She didn't allow things to go to pieces between herself, Roxas, and Axel.

      Despite the bad, the three of them always returned to each other and had each other's backs. That's the kind of friendship that's mentioned a lot in KH, but we don't always see it. This is one of the many reasons why I love Days. It wasn't so much that they had fatal flaws, but fate itself was flawed. No matter what they did, they always would have had a sad ending. For example, Roxas and Xion wouldn't have been able to stop absorbing each other's strength.

      And I adore the Roxas/Xion pairing!

      I tell you, Days was a great game. It was very emotional and meaningful. I like it more than CoM and Re: Coded both. And there are some days, since I replayed KH1 recently, that I like Days better than that one.

      I liked that we got to see things from the "bad guys'" side for once. And I think developments in Days, like Xion and the Replica program, will be very important in the future.

      It just felt like a KH game to me with its themes. And I enjoyed the good old mystery of trying to figure out just who Xion was. The main thing that draws me to the KH series is that I can't predict it (sadly, I can predict the outcome of almost any story these days). And Days did not disappoint. I never would have guessed that Xion was supposed to be a clone of Sora!

      And another thing much appreciated about this game, was that it wasn't the same thing happening in the Disney worlds for the millionth time. Different things were happening. And we actually went to the real worlds (unlike CoM and Coded). Heck, we weren't even limited to KH1 worlds. There were KH2 ones like The Beast's Castle.

      I actually enjoyed the battle system (limits ftw!) and the panel system. It felt like we had good control of what our character was doing. And I am in awe at the graphics on the DS.

      Though I wouldn't have minded RAX going to different places, I didn't mind the ice cream thing. It made sense with the story (and the missions), and I enjoyed seeing the friends act like friends. I was glad we got to know the characters. Because let's face it: we never really see SRK all together. And though we had nice flashbacks of VTA, that was darkened by the bad going on. The Days trio will always be the perfect one to me.

      And, in all honesty, it was Days that made me love Roxas and Axel's characters. I'd liked them, but I was sort of on the fence about them until this game. So kudos to Days for making me adore them.

      So happy two year anniversary, Days! Though you are unappreciated, the ones that loved you, loved many aspects of you. LOL.

      Here's hoping for a remake in the future!

      Well at least we see it is still running strong after all these years, and we have Nomura and his great storytelling to thank! Also Happy 2 year Anniversary 358/2 Days! It was one of the best story wise imo. Here's to many more years of KH, KHV!

      I was 6 at the time (Im 17 now if your to lazy to do math lol). My cousin thought I was obsessed well he should look at the KH collection videos on YouTube. All I have of KH are the games, a Sora KH2 figurine and soon a KH2 Riku figurine in a few weeks, official Final Mix + Desktop Clock (you can get it at the Final Mix + Japanese site), all official KH BBS PSP Themes (even the hard to get Japanese PSP Themes including the NA Square Enix Members PSP Theme for KH BBS) and all official wallpapers in 1 flash drive to back them up in case my computer crashes again.
      358/2 Days has been the 2nd best DS game I have ever played (the first was "The World Ends With You" and the 3rd best was re:Coded). I loved 358/2 Days. It had a PS2 feeling into it :D

      Two years?
      Wow.
      I remember being in some mall just...Yesterday, it feels like, and I went into a GameStop and saw 358/2 Days.
      I was all "Awwwww yeeaaaaah"
      Because all I had was Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II.
      And I had a blast.

      That's very odd. Yesterday morning (Wednesday) I found this game and completely forgot about its anniversary. Xion is one of my faves and easy to cosplay. Already got the natural hair color down :D
