I agree that the pacing was slow and waiting for cutscenes were tedious, but I loved the dialogue, character development and began looking forward to the Twilight Town meetings myself. In short, aside from the pacing, I thought the story was great.

It does have a really awesome story. But I still say that BBS is the best as far as story goes. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoti...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Birth by Sleep has some of the worst lines in the story and really predictable. In the english version, the way the lines were said wasn't that sad. Blank Points is practically one of the only scenes in the game that was good. I mean I love the story, but I'm not gonna sugar coat how horrible Eraqus and Terra's lines were. And when Aqua said "I am Master Aqua" in the Final Ending was just horrible. Ven's lines were probably the best since Jesse McCartney had already voiced Roxas. I love their voices but their voice acting and delivery of lines could've been better.

I respect your opinion, but I don't think that poor voice acting ruins a storyline?? Besides, I thought the voiceovers for Aqua and Terra were the only bad actors in the English version, but it didn't completely stop me from emotionally connecting with the characters.

It didn't stop me either, but the lines in the story were cliche. The storyline was great as a whole, but Terra and Aqua's lines were filled of them.

the story was good, possibly the most tragic of the games....... but having to go through the same worlds doing the same thing over and over again..im not gunna lie, kinda sucked.

[lazyAfternoon]

I'm not too sure. The dialogues between the characters seemed rather forced. It kind of felt like they tried too hard to make them likable and give them depth so you would care for their eventual fates, but sadly tripped over every can of JRPG and modern Japanese animation cliché they could find. I still liked it, but in the end I just felt for the situation, not so much for the characters. The whole friendship just went right over my head. And no, I'm not missing the short time, circumstances and everything -- it just didn't work out for me. As I said before, I still very much liked it. I could have gone without and would have preferred a different approach, but it's fine.

I'm fine with KH having bold and stereotypical characters. Even if it spawns a lot of terrible fan fiction I really like how we don't see the characters interacting on a personal level much. It leaves much to the imagination and really makes the symbolism of the whole series shine. If they were to really flesh out the characters after the Xehanort Saga I'd probably be all over it because my precious memories of the past parts are save and, well, I changed in these 10 years as well. It hasn't been so long for many of the characters, but seeing them grow while being true the the game's overall theme is probably something that I'd enjoy much more than some forced dialogue to make me care.

And the somewhat self-containing part of the story, namely Xion, really isn't any better than what most other games offered. It's more engaging than Coded and most parts of CoM, but that's it. The secret reports definitely were the icing on the cake for me, though. Can't say I didn't get more out of this game than I expected and that it, starting in one game, overarching another and then leading into yet another game, was quite a ride for me and felt like a full experience.

As far as well developed story and best script go, no, I can never agree with that. It's more of a bonus, complimenting what KH, CoM and KH2 already established as a fine story.. in my opinion at least.

[Heike]

Days is my 2nd favorite game in the KH Sieres. And I find it's story one of the nicest in the sieres. It has XION which is nuff for me

[Timpani]

Re:coded and COM have the best scripts in the series. Both have proper antagonists and character motivations, while 2 and Days play around with angsty vagueness and go absolutely nowhere until the last 2 hours.

Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 have to be your favorite if you are a real fan of Kingdom Hearts

[Messiah]

The story was fantastic, although those DAMNED......MISSIONS....kind of got in the way of the story. I wish it had just been like a regular KH game. The script was very moving, however and I liked how Roxas grew through the game becoming more and more himself and how visible the connections he forms have an impact on his personality.

The several degrees of stupidity in this comment is funny .. Says who ? You ? Selecting favorites is subjective.

I feel so offended right now. /sarcasm

Days is my personnal favourite and it's all because of the story. Gameplay wise, it'd be BBS. But I really, really loved the story. I think it's the angst. It broke my heart.

[Raynaninja]

I really loved 358/2 Days. Ive also played through it again and again the most.

[NamineRose]

I loved the game, but I never got to play Birth By Sleep so I can't really make a call on that one. I do love how they developed characters in Days but they were introducing everything new in BBS. Days was building off of plot, characters, and dynamics that already existed (One of the reasons I am not going to pull the main games in this) so it is a toss up with so many different things to consider.

You do not dictate who is a real kh fan or not for stupid reasons

[dusk]

I really didn't think Days' story as so great: Most of time it was boring rambling and stuff and everything intresting had been stuffed to final 10 minutes.

I have also noticed that almost everyone whose first KH game was Days is also their favourite.

I love Days, it's the best game <3
Like KH 2 and Re:Coded and COM and KH 1...

I hate fate ;__;

[roxas198]

It was really repetetive, but I loved the story too much to care. I was so sad at the end though.

[AxelRoxasXionKH]

I loved 358/2 days, it may be the best in my opinion.
But if they'd make a remake, they should do it on the 3DS, cutting off the non-mandatory missions and put in a new world, you go there on the days ya did nothing,
Nothing important has to happen, you could just discuss some crap with Xigbar or something, or they could put something in it of him revealing something of his past, but just a new fresh world, and more kind off missions would make this game a 10.

[Venxas24]

This is very true, this game is second only to the original Kingdom Hearts for me
