That's awesome. I refuse to watch anything like that before I get the game myself though. I'd rather not ruin it.

I'm more interested in watching the gameplay than the Days cutscenes. I want to see how much the battle mechanics and textures were changed.

Ruin what? Haven't you played the games already?

I'll be spending more time waiting for this to buffer than actually watching it T_T

But as soon as it's done, I'll watch the whole thing!

Can't watch now, on my phone at the mo'. Did they include the manga/novel scene where Xemnas and Saix try to complete Xion's reprogramming and she breaks out? (should be day 356 or thereabouts)

Eeeeee~! So excited to play for myself ^^

 

Also, it's interesting how they have the camera option in the beginning, though I think past games have had it too.  There's an auto mode where the camera will move for you and a manual mode that you use the right stick to move (thank god).  I'll have to play around with that and see which I like best.  I'm sure the camera won't be nearly as annoying as the original xD
