Nomura wrote the script himself.
Seriously it had the best paced story. They showed as much detail and developed it in almost every day. If you only do the mandatory missions it's not so repetitive.
It also has the most tragic and touching story.

Except for the fact that the same shit happens everyday.

The things they learn and the things that happen are never the same.

You mean excluding Birth By Sleep, Kingdom Hearts I and Chain Of Memories right???

it was alright in my opinion

I kinda hated having to do a bunch of missions when things just started to happen towards the end. I admit, the story is pretty good but the constant repetitive missions made the wait for a cutscene almost unbearable. The cutscenes were also really short for me, so when it went from video back to in game conversations in a matter of 10 seconds, i would get a bit annoyed. Unless the cutscene was actually interesting

It does have a really awesome story. But I still say that BBS is the best as far as story goes.

[catmaster0116]

LOL, I loved the story. But the way the story was told, I found was interestingly told in "days" (i.e. chapters).

However I must admit the same, it was quite repetitive way to tell a story with the days system + the fact that they send you to different worlds with the same mission objectives.

• "Defeat the giant heartless"
• "Collect the organisation badges to prove your fitness...etc"
• "perform recon"

And yes I do hope they make a proper remaster of this for a future console. It'll be so awesome to replay

Roxas VS Xion or Dual-Wield-Roxas VS Riku

in full HD glory with proper sharp character models rather than the pixelated character models in KHdays.

BBS had some pretty underdeveloped dialogue and characters were kinda underdeveloped if you ask me.
KH1 and COM were ok. I never liked COM's story for some reason.
also here we come

I think that days could have been MUCH better if it wasn't limited by the original DS...

Out of all the games i see days gameplay to be the weakest--- and u wont really progress through the story without the gameplay.

So i must hope they revive this game someday on another console that has better performance options and can with that afford a more fun/interesting form of gameplay.

Sigh... but i must admit that having to fight the final boss over again with better sound and graphics would only make me more sad...

I agree, so far Days is the only game in the series that hasn't had a remaster...they could remaster it for the 3DS and add more story details (and maybe the cut Pinnochio world for the skipped days)

Birth By Sleep tied up a lot of lose ends in my opinion and the characters weren't underdeveloped except for maybe Vanitas???
And without KHI you wouldn't have any of the other games so everyone's argument is invalid/shot
Days didn't really...
add
to the story and plot of Kingdom Hearts
at all
except for just finding out what Roxas did before KH2
So Days is mediocre at best, story wise because it didn't add anything.
Unless they throw in some weird shit in upcoming games that'll make Days important, it's very bleh for now.

Well the point is that Day's Story was good, not that it added to the main plot.
I agree that it wasn't much important to other games, but it was the best on its own.

On it's own, it's about friends and how their shit gets firetrucked up.
uh.
Which doesn't sound good to me at all tbh.
But to each their own.

That's a bad sum up of the story.
It's a tragic soap opera thing.
Yeah.
...
The point is it got to its Climax in an extremely good way and the story was very well though of.

[Flaming Lea]

I loved Days and its tied with BBS to be my second favorite in the series..My first favorite being KH2..I loved the storyline and i actually enjoyed the missions.The joke weapons were funny as firetruck and i loved how emotional it was .

[FireRubies1]

I bet it does have a really good story. But I always try to get the most done on a mission and after a while the game just got really annoying and repetitive. I got it 2 weeks ago and I don't have the will to go on past day 76.Even before I stopped playing I eventually got tired of the characters and stopped caring about what happened

[coolwings]

I loved 358/2 days... I totally agree that this game had the best story, out of all the KHs. The missions were a bit repetive but they wern't the same. Lots of worlds in Birth By Sleep were really repetive..... I say 358/2 days is the best KH game! Also 358/2 days has XION!!

[J. Severe]

Days's story was beautiful. All Roxas wanted to do was have ice cream with his friends. THAT'S ALL HE FIRETRUCKING WANTED! WHY DOES FATE HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL!

[Spectrum of Life]

I can't say I agree, mostly because Xion's whole plot seems very forced. (Though the Disney worlds' treatment and most certainly the gameplay don't endear me either.) She isn't outright unlikeable, but her entire place in the story feels like it's replacing a 8 member hole in the story and failing, and accidentally cheapens Roxas's appeal in the process.

To me, Roxas was this doubtful, inquisitive person who couldn't just sit there and idle around. Days just made him look like a passive idiot that only gets to thinking due to an outrageous and convenient twist of fate. Roxas's unusual existential situation (a person with emotion amongst a group of emotionless people) that could have made for a very interesting quest for identity and self-discovery. They could have developed him by having him actually interact with everybody and learning from misunderstandings and conflicts instead of foisting this contrived situation on him, They admittedly touch on this in in the game (In that Saix, Xigbar and Xemnas are trash and Roxas being conflicted over what his role was), but not until close to the end, and it's far from the focus.

The focus is almost completely on Xion and how suddenly important she is despite never being previously alluded to in any manner that would naturally come to a person's mind playing the other games.
