The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted February 7, 2014 OMG, how's it going everyone? I was playing Tales Of Xilia today, and I was in Sharilton City, and since I'm the type of RPG gamer that loves interacting with the NPC's, I stumbled upon a character telling me to buy a "special." The minute I bought the special, I noticed that it was a direct reference to Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days! Here's a photo I took with my IPad that is proof of my statement! http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag352/Inomaru2013/2014-02-06170410_zps0504ce87.jpg See!? The Ice Pop looks exactly like a Sea Salt Ice Cream Bar! Out of all the things the developers of this game would make, they coincidentally happened upon this design, and look at the description! "If you get a Win Stick, you get another one for free!" This just screams 358/2 Days! It's frickin awesome that Kingdom Hearts makes its way to other games in some form or another! With this, we can conclude that the people that made this game must be fans of the Kingdom Hearts series! 15 advfox, Alicia Maddox, Ruby Rose and 12 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pangoro "Sen" 445 Posted February 7, 2014 Seeing as how I'm a fan of both Xillia and Days, this makes the inner fanboy of my entire being scream with excitement! 1 The Transcendent Key reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaweebo 3,617 Posted February 7, 2014 I don't think it's a reference to Days directly, more a reference to the series in general, but that's pretty cool. 1 The Transcendent Key reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MasterXemnas 2,285 Posted February 7, 2014 Fool. If anything, it would be a reference to Kingdom Hearts 2. 3 The Transcendent Key, Kaweebo and Zoro317 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I don't think it's a reference to Days directly, more a reference to the series in general, but that's pretty cool. Fool. If anything, it would be a reference to Kingdom Hearts 2. Yeah, I know, but the thing that made me associate this reference to KH Days was the "if you get a Win Stick, you get another one for free!" quote. And as far as I recall, the Winner Stick was mentioned and showed in Days, not KH2. Those are the little details that set the reference to Days in my opinion. But yeah, for all we know, it could be a reference to the series in general. Edited February 7, 2014 by Golden Fighter 1 Kaweebo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyDixieRect 2,061 Posted February 7, 2014 Fool. If anything, it would be a reference to Kingdom Hearts 2. Not with the Win stick, no. Days it is. 1 The Transcendent Key reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted February 7, 2014 Not with the Win stick, no. Days it is. Exactly! (Don't worry Winner, I'll like your post as soon as my quota stops being a bee-otch to me. ) 1 MyDixieRect reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shulk 8,623 Posted February 7, 2014 I vaguely remember seeing this concept in a few places. I think it might just be something common in Japanese culture, I'm not certain though. 1 Queen Tery reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I vaguely remember seeing this concept in a few places. I think it might just be something common in Japanese culture, I'm not certain though. Yeah, I assumed that as well. It's like how here in America the sticks have corny jokes printed on them Edited February 7, 2014 by Isamu_Kuno 1 Shulk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fierce Deity Link 926 Posted February 7, 2014 WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA KH references are as awesome as Sonic references IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arya Stark 1,337 Posted February 7, 2014 I do believe it was in Tales of Graces too... I was like... "That looks like sea-salt ice cream. Oh well, guess blue is just a popular color for ice cream in Japan." 1 _The Door To Light_ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moochieh32 676 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) o_O Didn't see this before. Nice find Golden! At first I thought, "Meh they probably just designed it like that out of the blue..." but when I next read the description where if you win, you get another free, that right there was no joke. This is definitely a KHDays reference and an awesome one to be exact Glad that there are finally games out there that are using KH references Edited February 7, 2014 by Moochieh32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterXemnas 2,285 Posted February 7, 2014 Not with the Win stick, no. Days it is. Fool. Winner stick. Little detail from Days. Sea Salt ice cream, huge detail from KH2. Ever since Days, it's safe to assume that there are also winner sticks in KH2 versions of the ice cream, we just never saw it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
