"Go on, you just keep runnin'. But I'll always be there to bring you back!!" Axel kills me with that line. Plus the acting is great. Such a good scene.
Axel has always been my favorite character long before I knew he was a good guy I'm glad my instincts were right. He's such a sweetheart. I love Lea. Got it memorized!?
Am I the only one who thought this game had the best story and character depth of the series? I always felt Sora and Riku fit the typical stereotypes of happy-go-lucky protagonist and edgier more serious rival, while you watch the bond between Roxas, Axel, and Xion happen as time passes, and watch them slowly come out of their shells, first Roxas and then Xion. No other game in the series gives you that intense level of backstory, and you feel more invested in the characters as time goes on.
I whole-heartedly agree, its no coincidence my favorite character of the series is Axel and secondly Roxas. Though in fairness Riku got a fair chunk of development in chain of memories. This game may at the moment be the pinnacle of the series for character development. Something this game also started to do for the series (and did the most... hasnt really gone anywhere much) is give some fighting style differences between the playable characters, at least in aesthetic if not actually gameplay. Roxas being a much more aggressive, all-out-offense, bladestorm compared to Sora.
Hmm, Most people I saw were saying that Axel disliked Xion, and while I do sense some jealousy and slight resentment, it actually does feel like they did become friends in many scenes.
Yeah the Scene when he said "I'll always be there to bring you right back" for me made me think he really does care, because I mean he's been through a lot at that point, Roxas left the Organization , and Xion was about to go die, and Saix isn't his best friend Isa anymore he lost 2 friends he wasn't about to lose her to
The thing is, even if the memories of Xion and Roxas would remain inside him, Sora wouldn't consider that good enough. He'd set out to make them whole, living and breathing again. That's just who Sora is. He couldn't help it.
Joe Green sora is the punching bag of the series for many because he’s not relatable to them.. but to me personally he’s the most relatable... he’s a naturally happy person, same as me but he’s a lot deeper than people give him credit for.. he knows pain and loss but doesn’t let that change who he is as person.
@A.r tomboy Me personally, I don't mind that it happened. I just think they rushed it along with most of the plotpoints 3 had to fill and it had less impact than it otherwise would have
Ok there's three types of kingdom hearts that appeared in the games. The one in the first game is created from the amalgamation of destroyed worlds. Each world has a energy core and heartless was seeking to make kingdom hearts. The one in the second game is a accumulation of hearts of man in other words collective unconscious of human minds. The one appeared in 3 is a complete perfect sync of both.
I love how interesting Axel's character is in these games. You could write a whole thesis essay on his character and his development from Chain of Memories, KHII, and 358/2 days. Just those games alone, not to mention the games when he is Lea.
When you realize Axel is chilling with two copies of Sora... I know they end up being different beings, but they were kind of born from the same person... it's actually both dark and sad, like the fake Riku in Chain of Memories. "Sora's power will belong to us" *after watching Dream Drop Distance* HOOOOLD THE PHOOONE!!!
Let's eat some ice cream, we are best friends. You are right, ha ha ha ha ha ha. The next day. Let's eat some ice cream, we are best friends. You are right, ha ha ha ha ha ha. The next day. Let's eat some ice cream, we are best friends. You are right, ha ha ha ha ha ha.
2:41:26 I’m kinda surprised no one is talking about this part of the roxas vs riku scene. We watch roxas go from being a zombie puppet to developing his own identity. He makes friends he really loves and depend on, showing he has a heart even if he’s told he doesn’t have one. Him saying “I want xion back. I want my life back!” Is so hard to swallow when you go thru a whole year of what feels like your whole life, get taken away and have nothing left because your whole existence was a scandal for someone else. It’s only the small things that make roxas so happy and desperate to get it back.
@@arikatheprincessofhearts2043 that’s kinda hard to tell tbh. I’m not a therapist but the way I can best describe it is a kid understanding life and death for the first time. Eventually his character grows and learns attachment. So you could say he’s both sad and angry, but later when he talks to sora in future games, it shows that he has depression over the fact that he can’t come back and only has his memories of axel and xion. (This is all before KH3) so I wouldn’t say he has PTSD, just a phase of feelings he’s going thru.
StellarUpsilon Yeah that sucked, maybe it isnt in because then people coul get the impression that roxas could have made that whole "destroy kingdomhearts or whatever" thing himself... And I would totally think that too. I mean at the end that was his intention, he would have had axel on his side (maybe riku too if he could have seen that that way would've been easier) and the main point: It would have saved SO much time, like, roxaa was already there, but roxas basicly needed to travel through something like 15 worlds
Keep in mind that Xemnas has the power to turn nobodies into dusks so idk if he could have done anything once he got there. There wouldn't have been any final battle or anything it would have just been "I'M HERE TO-" *into a dusk*. Although given Roxas' nature it could have worked maybe?
1:43:27 roxas started getting a headache when entering castle oblivion... coincidence....i think not!!! Because if you remember from birth by sleep.... VENTUS is in that castle still in a coma!!!
Shockingly, this was the first game I played in the Kingdom Hearts series. I didn’t know the order at the time so obviously I was pretty confused with certain parts of the story. With that being said, I grew so attached to the characters of this game and their story. This will always have that special place in my heart ❤
KH3 has made this game even sadder, and yet. Happier in the end. I'm really glad everyone got a good end. I'm happy that Isa was the one that was secretly helping get Roxas, Xion and Namine back to atone for everything that's happened. But honestly, he has nothing to be sorry for in the end. He's been norted and under control for a long time. He wasn't himself. He says that Axel has changed many times in this game, when it's been him who has changed the most, and he doesn't even realize it. It's very sad. Isa, Axel, Roxas and Xion all have the saddest stories. And I'm so happy they get to spend time together. As themselves. As their own person.
I think what makes 358/2 days such a compelling tragedy is that there is no one thing anyone could have done to prevent this outcome. This isn't an idiot plot where communication was the key, this occurred because of the very nature of nobodies, the Organization, and Sora.
I've started playing all the Kingdom Hearts games in recent weeks. 358/2 days was the only one in the series that I had played in the past (without knowing the previous chapters) when it came out 15 years ago when I was 10 or 11. I just finished this game today (to make everything more beautiful and nostalgic I played it on my old DSi) and I have to say.. I remembered it being sad but now at 25 it hits so much harder
I remember when I was a kid I mostly blamed Axel for this because he lied to Roxas and Xion. But now I'm older I realize the situation is much more complicated. Axel tried to protect Roxas and Xion, but it's hard to protect those who are motivated to find answers about who they are; on top of that Axel couldn't help them openly or he would be seen as a traitor by the organzation. Roxas and Xion both understood this, Xion gave up her life to save Roxas and free Axel from any blame, while Roxas gave up his resistance to Axel bringing Xion back after he learned the organization would turn Axel into a dusk if he failed..
1:18:32 The line he says here, makes so much more sense after reading the reports. (Spoilers below) Isa and Lean were known for sneaking into the Radiant Garden castle but on a certain day they managed to get in... Upon further investigation they took those long stairs down to the prisoner cells finding a girl imprisoned, she forgot but we know her as Skuld (From KH: Unchained X).. She disappeared during their next attempt to try and rescue her, most likely being moved somewhere else. It was then that Lea & Isa knew that there was only one way to find out where she went, and it was why in BBS they were heading towards the castle. They were going to become apprentices to Ansem, to try and rescue her.. Its also kinda interesting how they also met another member of the Union Cross Trio-ish group, VENTUS. (Who was also in unchained X)
This game is kinda tragic and I just feel bad for Xion, Roxas, and Axel. Hopefully KH3 gives all 3 of them some form of retribution (maybe pull a few dumb stunts and have them all come back to life...somehow), kind of how they're handling the other organization members and their researcher counterparts. Maybe we can see those 3 on the clock tower again, along with Ventus, Aqua, and Terra somewhere?
TrackForField No, not right, you’re still an idiot. That apostrophe is there for a reason, y’know. It’s there to allow for the combination of “you” and “are”. Same as “I’ve” is just “I” and “Have”. “Youre” is not a word. Also, it’s “that’s” not “thats”, and “YOU’RE welcome” not “YOUR welcome”.
it's because she was only a puppet to Axel, the same thing happens when she's begging Saix to give her another chance. She's only a person to Roxas, so she appears like one.
Adam Smith if I'm correct I think he say sora face which is impossible because sora is sleep in that pod so thats why he denied it and ask who she was. so yeah I think he saw sora's face
It wasn't Roxas's or Xion's Fault for leaving Axel and it wasn't Axel's Fault for making then leave! Those three deserves a better life with no pain and abuse!
@@davidlaush180 I was working on a what if video about that but with my own head canon stuff but I'd say Ventus's heart would've left Roxas and returned to his body waking him up while Roxas he starts turning into Sora but because Ven was inside him for over 10 years if you take the fact Roxas is Sora's body into account I'd believe Roxas would look like that Sora colorswap mod for Ventus in BBS and here Roxas would've started to fully remember his previous life when he was Sora and with Ven gone Roxas would instinctually search for his heart(Sora) so basically Roxas would accept he's Sora early and search to reunite with him.
@@aozorahaou2643 Sora "colorswap", aka Vanitas. I like how you called him. Also, as far as we know, Ventus' heart is still inside Sora (he really should start getting a rent or something, the guy has too many hearts inside him). Roxas took on Ventus' form probably because of the fact of having two hearts sharing one body. Guess the logic got a bit complicated there, all like "Alright, he just lost.... two hearts? So... I guess I'll take the form of the oldest one? Maybe?". Roxas is the empty shell left behind when Sora sacrificed himself, and looks like he started to develop a heart and a personality on his own. Had he been left to his own devices, he might have been able to get an identity without stealing anything from Sora.
This game fucked me up near the end. It had its slow parts every now and then but the final stretch totally redeemed it. That + the prologue of KH2 is the perfect emotional rollercoaster.
Me too, although I would rather have Ven Awakening and Lea & Him becoming besties, but that's mostly cuz we barely see Lea & Isa's friendship, so I would love if Lea is a playable character, and there's some really emotional stuff with Lea & Isa, and we get more from them
What’s crazy is that this doesn’t have a single disney character until Mickey comes into one of them. It’s only Roxas, Axel, Xion, and the other Organization members
A part of me wishes they had extended the scene where Axel stops Roxas and Xion from fighting. (The scene where the organization put an illusion on them both) In the manga after Axel's intervention Xion looks at Roxas' severe injuries and is shaken. She realizes Roxas would have died if it hadn't been for Axel and she would have been the one to inflict the killing blow. Roxas tries to reassure her but he can't hide his condition. Roxas then not only thanks Axel for saving him and Xion, but also apologizes for the way he had treated Axel the weeks before. Axel starts to blush and Roxas and Xion are surprised to see this side of him.
ME: Wow...that was actually a little sad. I mean, sure it was completely shoehorned in by Square Enix being Square Enix, but it was touching and somber. I mean, that there is a character out there who no one will ever remember even though she was really important to other characters. I mean, if you are going to force a character in that's the way to do it. And the most poignant thing about it is that she gave up her life although no one will ever recall what she did and she'll never come ba- SQUARE ENIX: Xion comes back in Kingdom Hearts 3. ME: ...Sad feeling's gone.
Great cinematic movie, had me feeling with all types of emotions, I felt really bad for Xion and Roxas though, :( but it just had to be done in order for Sora to wake up...
"Looks like my summer vacation is over" :( And then we start to play as him in KH2.. In-fact, the town is empty. Was he already in Twilight town data version at the ending? Woah. Xion and Namine deserve their own arch
why am i really feeling for Axel, since he is the only one who remembers in the end, and cannot get his best friend again... but again, he is nobody so he may not feel it too deep cause he had no heart... if only he had a heart, i bet he will do anything to get roxas back 😭
I played half of this game finished when my ds lite broke. However I played bbs, kh, kh2, and rechain of memories. My life's questions have been answered. Thank you. So saad..
Xigbar: Ha, where oh where could she be? Saix: Why, Xigbar. It sounds almost as if you know. Xigbar: [smug grin] Saix: [glare] Xemnas: ...You're still talking about Namine, right? Saix: ...Of course, sir. Xigbar: Pfft, yeah! As if we'd be talking about some other girl you studied--I mean, forget about it. Xemnas: [suspicious frown]
I cant believe I actually tried to play KH2 after KH1 when I was a KID on top of all things. No wonder that shit made no effin sense. This was great by the way. Awesome story I never knew existed!
Got the days manga for christmas exactly one month ago, and now just finished reading them all (read vol 5 all at once today after finishing vol 4). Needed to see some of those last scenes for real again.
I finally got the chance to play the original game and the ending was just perfect, I almost cried again during Roxas and Axel’s scene on 2:27:25 it reminded me why I loved the series even more to the very end.. to see them and Xion have their happy ending, hands down my most favorite KH game. 😭
I haven't watched/played 358/2 days in a long ass time so I completely forgot that they said Xion's name as 'Shi-own'. I've been saying it as 'Shi-yawn' for years.
Aw, I just realized this is the remix- but there’s a couple of skipped parts compared to the original. But overall this got me really emotional all over again
The way Axel told Saix to keep his mouth shut somewhat beautiful.
Yeah Axel is like a overprotective
Father
1:18:17 :)
It was one of Axel's best lines in my opinion!
I counted 29 individual, animated cutscenes in which people sat on a clock tower and ate ice cream. hot damn.
29 😮😂😅
In game is probably 3 times it
Peak story telling right there
It's a little more, it happens at the end of 90 percent of the missions, so there's like 70 scenes@@medeirosbros8647

Axel kills me with that line. Plus the acting is great. Such a good scene.
Does Axel have paranoia that's why he's overprotective to Roxas or just angry and sad?
2:32:00
Yeah I know
Axel has always been my favorite character long before I knew he was a good guy
I'm glad my instincts were right. He's such a sweetheart. I love Lea.
Got it memorized!?
Why do we always get stuck with the icky jobs.... that whole scene always get me too....😔.... Merry Christmas!!!

“Awkward laughing moments since Final Fantasy X”
You said it.
True dat
To be fair, Nobodies can’t really laugh.
Am I the only one who thought this game had the best story and character depth of the series? I always felt Sora and Riku fit the typical stereotypes of happy-go-lucky protagonist and edgier more serious rival, while you watch the bond between Roxas, Axel, and Xion happen as time passes, and watch them slowly come out of their shells, first Roxas and then Xion. No other game in the series gives you that intense level of backstory, and you feel more invested in the characters as time goes on.
I think it definitely wins in the character department.
And also Axel's development of putting his friends as priority and later giving the middle finger to the organization.
Riku did have his fare share of development throughout, though. It's really noticeable in this game and Chain of Memories.
I whole-heartedly agree, its no coincidence my favorite character of the series is Axel and secondly Roxas. Though in fairness Riku got a fair chunk of development in chain of memories. This game may at the moment be the pinnacle of the series for character development.
Something this game also started to do for the series (and did the most... hasnt really gone anywhere much) is give some fighting style differences between the playable characters, at least in aesthetic if not actually gameplay. Roxas being a much more aggressive, all-out-offense, bladestorm compared to Sora.
I agree. I didn't play the game but after watching this it's my favorite story in the series so far.
Roxas (and Xion) Logic:
Knows what a zombie is
Does not know what a friend is
Excuse me, I'm going to cry in the corner of my room forever now.
Alyssa Velasquez mind that i join you

*GOT IT MEMORIZED?*

MY.HEART.HURTS.
Hmm, Most people I saw were saying that Axel disliked Xion, and while I do sense some jealousy and slight resentment, it actually does feel like they did become friends in many scenes.
***** I think people overstate his "distaste" for Xion.
Dancer of the Frigid Valley he clearly wanted to save her "you just keep on runnin, but ill always be there to bring you back"
I agree. I felt that he really cared for her.
Yeah I think he likes Xion, just not as much as Roxas since they've been friends longer and he cam probably see something between Roxas and Sora
Yeah the Scene when he said "I'll always be there to bring you right back" for me made me think he really does care, because I mean he's been through a lot at that point, Roxas left the Organization , and Xion was about to go die, and Saix isn't his best friend Isa anymore he lost 2 friends he wasn't about to lose her to

And yet there are people who blame Sora for Roxas and Xion's suffering

2:25:54 I REALLY love Roxas’ delivery on that line
The Emotions in that one line are like 😭😢😢😭😢😿😭😭😭😭😢😿
that's where the tears start to come😥
His VA did a great job in this particular game, overall. Especially during the narrated parts at the beginning.
Yeah I know
why am I 30 years old and feeling this way
I cant believe I used to hate Roxas.
"But what is Kingdom Hearts" Good fucking question XD.

It’s cool to watch them converse together
That's the reason I watched this video.
I think there is a lot more dialogue and detail in the DS version
but all text based, no voice actors
It's funny picturing them climbing up into those big-chairs. Soooo impractical.
Now I get the real reason Riku wore a blindfold. So nobody could see him cry watching this

@@floyd5688 he saw xion as ventus not roxas.
When did Xigbar mention that??
Avtar_Sol0mon Do you think it will happen again if Roxas goes with Sora to find Ven.
I thought that was because that was Naminé's powers on him; trying to save Sora.
The whole conversation between Roxas & Axel starting at 2:23:56 literally kills me.... All the feels, man.
This never failed to make me teary-eyed.
the roxas story it's very sad :(
Ikr es
nothing can be worse than ventus' tho ;-;
I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up a little towards the end. Anyone else willing to admit their softness? =P
WaffleSaber NO ILL NEVER (cries in corner)
Oh yeah no I didn't tear up, I SOBBED
I hardly ever cry and this game is just so beautifully sad that I actually cried a little at the end… man, I love this game!
I was straight up BAWLING. I will always admit that with no shame...
“...we meet here for ice cream after work.” For 358 days in a row? How are you not fat?
Xigbar fears Ventus, or something.
They work everyday so they burn calarios
it's pretty intense work, so makes sense
The work they do burns more calories in 20 minutes than you eat in 2 days 😂 a lil ice cream ain’t gonna hurt
Powerful cardio
Did anyone notice that Xion reveals her face to Axel only when he accepts to be her friend? And only whom she trusts can see her face

Roxas' voice acting is superb.
Gotta love Jesse McCartney!
"I want my life back!" Roxas has it fucked up, wow.
KH3 has made this game even sadder, and yet. Happier in the end. I'm really glad everyone got a good end. I'm happy that Isa was the one that was secretly helping get Roxas, Xion and Namine back to atone for everything that's happened. But honestly, he has nothing to be sorry for in the end.

Xion gave up her life to save Roxas and free Axel from any blame, while Roxas gave up his resistance to Axel bringing Xion back after he learned the organization would turn Axel into a dusk if he failed..
1:18:32 The line he says here, makes so much more sense after reading the reports.
(Spoilers below)
Isa and Lean were known for sneaking into the Radiant Garden castle but on a certain day they managed to get in...
Upon further investigation they took those long stairs down to the prisoner cells finding a girl imprisoned, she forgot but we know her as Skuld (From KH: Unchained X).. She disappeared during their next attempt to try and rescue her, most likely being moved somewhere else.
It was then that Lea & Isa knew that there was only one way to find out where she went, and it was why in BBS they were heading towards the castle. They were going to become apprentices to Ansem, to try and rescue her..
Its also kinda interesting how they also met another member of the Union Cross Trio-ish group, VENTUS. (Who was also in unchained X)
2 years late, but to this day, we still have no confirmation that Subject X is Skuld.
2:17 except for the five we lost at Castle Oblivion, but calling ourselves “Organization VIII” doesn’t sound so cool
This game is kinda tragic and I just feel bad for Xion, Roxas, and Axel. Hopefully KH3 gives all 3 of them some form of retribution (maybe pull a few dumb stunts and have them all come back to life...somehow), kind of how they're handling the other organization members and their researcher counterparts. Maybe we can see those 3 on the clock tower again, along with Ventus, Aqua, and Terra somewhere?
David Laush youre a complete idiot.
TrackForField ?
TrackForField “You’re” a complete idiot.
Liam Jones still right. you're/youre...just dont care to take the time. If THATS the only thing you can pick out thats kinda idiotic.
YOUR welcome...
TrackForField No, not right, you’re still an idiot. That apostrophe is there for a reason, y’know. It’s there to allow for the combination of “you” and “are”. Same as “I’ve” is just “I” and “Have”. “Youre” is not a word. Also, it’s “that’s” not “thats”, and “YOU’RE welcome” not “YOUR welcome”.
Uhhhh - I'm gonna be frank here. It REALLLLY looks like the guy's mouthing "Call me" at 26:14.
It’s 3:00am on New Years and I just laughed way too hard at this
"Keep your mouth shut." Axel, you gave me chills!
I miss hearing Christopher Lee's voice.
Tony Bebop Rest in peace Ansem the Wise :(
WAIT WHAT .....ALRIGHT GOD LIKE YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK ON OUR KH VOICE ACTERS !
If you pay attention to when Axel Roxas and Xion eating ice cream you can see that Xion has her hood on and then off
Isn't that obvious?
Crown Valkyrio Just for those who might've missed it.
it's because she was only a puppet to Axel, the same thing happens when she's begging Saix to give her another chance. She's only a person to Roxas, so she appears like one.
Adam Smith if I'm correct I think he say sora face which is impossible because sora is sleep in that pod so thats why he denied it and ask who she was. so yeah I think he saw sora's face
it was only like that because xion didn’t really know axel at the time until they said that they were friends
A disney game where all the kids are sad, depressed and in an existential crisis.
I like how in KH3 it explains why Axel took a shine to Roxas because he remembers ventus and they resemble each other
It wasn't Roxas's or Xion's Fault for leaving Axel and it wasn't Axel's Fault for making then leave! Those three deserves a better life with no pain and abuse!
1:44:17 If Roxas & Axel had stayed in Castle Oblivion a little longer they would’ve found the “Chamber Of Waking” and Ventus’s body.
Jaylen Davis so Roxas is the key to finding the chamber of waking and Ventus, good and bad
What do you suppose would happen if Roxas found Ventus?
@@davidlaush180 I was working on a what if video about that but with my own head canon stuff but I'd say Ventus's heart would've left Roxas and returned to his body waking him up while Roxas he starts turning into Sora but because Ven was inside him for over 10 years if you take the fact Roxas is Sora's body into account I'd believe Roxas would look like that Sora colorswap mod for Ventus in BBS and here Roxas would've started to fully remember his previous life when he was Sora and with Ven gone Roxas would instinctually search for his heart(Sora) so basically Roxas would accept he's Sora early and search to reunite with him.
@@aozorahaou2643 Sora "colorswap", aka Vanitas. I like how you called him.
Also, as far as we know, Ventus' heart is still inside Sora (he really should start getting a rent or something, the guy has too many hearts inside him). Roxas took on Ventus' form probably because of the fact of having two hearts sharing one body. Guess the logic got a bit complicated there, all like "Alright, he just lost.... two hearts? So... I guess I'll take the form of the oldest one? Maybe?". Roxas is the empty shell left behind when Sora sacrificed himself, and looks like he started to develop a heart and a personality on his own. Had he been left to his own devices, he might have been able to get an identity without stealing anything from Sora.
The only person who can find the chamber of waking is aqua is already stated in the game. That's why no one was able to find it.
This game fucked me up near the end. It had its slow parts every now and then but the final stretch totally redeemed it. That + the prologue of KH2 is the perfect emotional rollercoaster.
The scene at 55:10 is one of my favorite scenes in the series. Just them talking about summer vacation, always hits me right in the feels.
Lowkey want isa and lea to be friends again in kh3
Me too, although I would rather have Ven Awakening and Lea & Him becoming besties, but that's mostly cuz we barely see Lea & Isa's friendship, so I would love if Lea is a playable character, and there's some really emotional stuff with Lea & Isa, and we get more from them
So, you happy now that its out?
What’s crazy is that this doesn’t have a single disney character until Mickey comes into one of them. It’s only Roxas, Axel, Xion, and the other Organization members
Saïx " I merely rounded up and sent off the ones who were getting in the way"

I feel Saix is just very jealous of axel thanks to the freindship they had in birth by sleep...
congrats
And you were correct
Isa was jealous because lea made friends with ven roxas and xion but I think lea and isa are still friends
Hit the nail on the head, KH3 confirms it.
A part of me wishes they had extended the scene where Axel stops Roxas and Xion from fighting. (The scene where the organization put an illusion on them both) In the manga after Axel's intervention Xion looks at Roxas' severe injuries and is shaken. She realizes Roxas would have died if it hadn't been for Axel and she would have been the one to inflict the killing blow. Roxas tries to reassure her but he can't hide his condition. Roxas then not only thanks Axel for saving him and Xion, but also apologizes for the way he had treated Axel the weeks before. Axel starts to blush and Roxas and Xion are surprised to see this side of him.
ME: Wow...that was actually a little sad. I mean, sure it was completely shoehorned in by Square Enix being Square Enix, but it was touching and somber. I mean, that there is a character out there who no one will ever remember even though she was really important to other characters. I mean, if you are going to force a character in that's the way to do it. And the most poignant thing about it is that she gave up her life although no one will ever recall what she did and she'll never come ba-
SQUARE ENIX: Xion comes back in Kingdom Hearts 3.
ME: ...Sad feeling's gone.
I don’t have any close friends and my family lives across the country. Kingdom Hearts really helps with my loneliness 💙
I wasn’t expecting this game to be so emotional. Who was I kidding, it’s Kingdom Hearts ✨😥💙
"I couldn't bear to lose my memories of you and Xion."
OKAY I AM OFFICIALLY LEAVING GOOD BYE
“I’ll always be me! you are my best friend! Just like Xion is my best friend!”
I love this quote…
Honestly I feel like a bunch of these characters would be great at asmr...
1:06:34 i love how much riku cares about sora it almost makes me cry dude
*Best friend is dieing and all you can say is..”WHO ELSE WILL I EAT ICECREAM WITH?!”xD*
Top notch priorities
Friend dying < ice cream
It's because in the beginning, Axel says " friends are people you have ice cream with"
BUT THE ICE CREAM!!!!
They ate ice cream together every day.. ofc that wans’t his biggest concern, the sentence just has a deeper meaning
Wasn’t it mistranslated or something? Wasn’t it supposed to be “Let’s have ice cream one more time” or whatever?
that feel at the start when i read that character's trait as 'skilled at retcon'.
Man...I only played the main games but this may be the best story in the whole series. It's so tragic :(
51:20 it's supposed to be this foreboding night been there's just this cute little heart moon in the sky
+Martyier
Hearkens back to that Kingdom Hearts 1 cover art.
The name's Axel. Got it memorized?
Why is kingdom hearts such a fucking tear upper, there is literally no kingdom hearts game i didnt cry
Great cinematic movie, had me feeling with all types of emotions, I felt really bad for Xion and Roxas though, :( but it just had to be done in order for Sora to wake up...
25:36 "I meant your name"
Iconic
I see this game so differently now. Especially with Axel and Saix since Subject X was a huge part of their lives. She's the reason their both there.
always bawl at the last two lines.......
"Looks like my summer vacation is over" :(
And then we start to play as him in KH2.. In-fact, the town is empty. Was he already in Twilight town data version at the ending? Woah.
Xion and Namine deserve their own arch
5:42 That'd get my heart racing if someone smacked me on a ledge where I could have been knocked off.
"I'm learning all these things, but there's so much more I don't get" me too roxas, me fucking too man 😧😧😧
why am i really feeling for Axel, since he is the only one who remembers in the end, and cannot get his best friend again... but again, he is nobody so he may not feel it too deep cause he had no heart... if only he had a heart, i bet he will do anything to get roxas back 😭
Kh3 is nearing ☺🙌
Did you play KH2? cause I don't want to spoil it for you.
I played Kh2 ☺
@@_chris96_ I was more asking the OP just in case :)
Why do I always get stuck with the ICKY jobs
Axel, you have my whole heart
2:33:11 Watch only if you want to cry today.
I played half of this game finished when my ds lite broke. However I played bbs, kh, kh2, and rechain of memories. My life's questions have been answered. Thank you. So saad..
Xigbar: Ha, where oh where could she be?
Saix: Why, Xigbar. It sounds almost as if you know.
Xigbar: [smug grin]
Saix: [glare]
Xemnas: ...You're still talking about Namine, right?
Saix: ...Of course, sir.
Xigbar: Pfft, yeah! As if we'd be talking about some other girl you studied--I mean, forget about it.
Xemnas: [suspicious frown]
I cant believe I actually tried to play KH2 after KH1 when I was a KID on top of all things. No wonder that shit made no effin sense. This was great by the way. Awesome story I never knew existed!
Got the days manga for christmas exactly one month ago, and now just finished reading them all (read vol 5 all at once today after finishing vol 4). Needed to see some of those last scenes for real again.
I played this when i was like 14 and the story really hit me 😢😢 damn man
2:06:38 "I'll tell ya..! ... That's a good question..." - Axel
i love coming back to rewatch this every so often it's definitely my favorite kh media i guess? since its not a game anymore
I finally got the chance to play the original game and the ending was just perfect, I almost cried again during Roxas and Axel’s scene on 2:27:25 it reminded me why I loved the series even more to the very end.. to see them and Xion have their happy ending, hands down my most favorite KH game. 😭
I haven't watched/played 358/2 days in a long ass time so I completely forgot that they said Xion's name as 'Shi-own'. I've been saying it as 'Shi-yawn' for years.
1:03:08 I paused it at the right time and it looks like Roxas is trying to steal Axel's ice cream 😂
He is...
Aw, I just realized this is the remix- but there’s a couple of skipped parts compared to the original. But overall this got me really emotional all over again
