[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] series. The story is an

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. The game centers on the daily life of the main character
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], exploring the time from his creation during the first game,
Kingdom Hearts, and leading directly into
Kingdom Hearts II. It features
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and single and multiplayer modes of play. The game was announced at the 2007
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to be released in Japan; a North American release was later confirmed as well as a European
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] release.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days had a special edition of the
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] when it launched in Japan.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The game launched in Japan on May 30, 2009. The game's official North
American release was announced at E3 2009 to be September 29, 2009.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The game featured
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]'s final performance as
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (and his last acting role) before his death; the game is dedicated to his memory.
Gameplay58/2 Days features the
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] style of the previous games in the series.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] To accomplish this, the game makes minimal use of the system's touch screen functionality.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] The game includes single player and multiplayer modes of play.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] The single player mode is story-based, focused on Disney worlds from past games, and progresses in days.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] In single player mode, the player controls Roxas, the game's main protagonist, who is accompanied by other
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] members.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] The two modes are linked in that character growth is shared between them.

Panel system358/2 Days features a new gameplay mechanic known as the
panel system which involves the customization of the character's
levels, items, magic, weapons, abilities, armor and accessories. Magic
in this game is mainly controlled by this system; certain spells cannot
be used if their corresponding panels aren't equipped, but can be used
consecutively if multiple are attached. Weapons are also equipped using
panels, as well as abilities. There are also "Link Panels" with which
multiple panels can be combined to form new, stronger abilities and it
can also give Roxas the ability to wield two Keyblades, as opposed to
just one, as seen in the secret ending to
Kingdom Hearts and briefly in
Kingdom Hearts II. However this will only work in mission/multiplayer mode.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]] Limit BreaksThe game features a new gameplay mechanic known as Limit Breaks
which can be activated by the player once his health drops below a
certain level which would be indicated by a yellow health bar. Each
character has his own unique abilities during Limit Breaks which are
usually more powerful and stronger than normal attacks, for example
Roxas would enter into a frenzy rapidly attacking enemies from all
directions at a very fast pace. Following that a second stage of the
Limit Break can be unlocked though a panel, known as the "Final Limit",
it would allow players to use even stronger attacks which can attack
more enemies at the same time though it is usually slower than the
first stage of the Limit Break; for example Roxas would unleash pillars
of light in every direction around him, harming any enemies surrounding
him.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]] MultiplayerCooperative multiplayer was one feature on display at the 2007
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] demonstrating that players can work together, in addition to the traditional use of
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]-controlled partners.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] This is the first
Kingdom Heartsgame to feature cooperative multiplayer. Because of the multiplayer,
this also makes it the first game in the series to allow the player to
control a female character (through Larxene, and then Xion). The
multiplayer gameplay is separate from the single player story and will
be mission-based, which includes cooperative and competitive player
battles.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]It allows up to four players to play as one of the fourteen members of
Organization XIII, with each member having different weapons, skills,
and stats.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Not just the members of Organization XIII, but also, Sora, Donald,
Goofy, King Mickey and Riku are featured as secret characters in the
multiplayer.
358/2 Days'
multiplayer also features a chat system for communication between
players, but will differ from PictoChat in that everyone will draw on
the same screen.

The most prominent world is the World That Never Was, which first
appeared in the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts and serves as the
game's main hub, followed by Twilight Town, a frequently-explored
locale. Castle Oblivion and Destiny Islands also appear in cutscenes.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Charactershe game revolves around
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], who was first featured at the beginning of
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Roxas is the
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], the series' main protagonist, born when Sora's body vanished as he briefly lost his heart and became a

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], a group of powerful Nobodies who served as the main antagonists of
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Like Sora, Roxas has the power to wield the
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],
a weapon normally used for battling darkness. The other members of
Organization XIII play a prominent role as well, particularly
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], Roxas's best friend who debuted in
Chain of Memories. The game also introduces a new member:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], a girl who resembles Sora's friend
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and can also wield the Keyblade.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Other characters who are featured include

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], Sora's best friend; and
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],

previous games, is featured prominently in the plot, along with his
allies
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], though they appear quite infrequently in the form of several flashbacks and memory-induced scenarios. Also appearing are
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], a persistent villain who first appears in
Kingdom Hearts II, and
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], a trio of friends living in Twilight Town who also debuted in
Kingdom Hearts II.
As with the other games in the series, each Disney world features
several characters who appear in the films their worlds are based on;
on the other hand, no
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] characters are featured apart from
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], who manage shops for the Organization.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] This game features the most playable characters ever featured in a
Kingdom Hearts title to date, at 19.
[[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]] StoryWhen Sora turns himself into a Heartless to free Kairi's heart in
Kingdom Hearts, his Nobody, Roxas, is created; however, unlike most Nobodies, Roxas lacks memories of his past life as Sora.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Soon Roxas is found by Xemnas, the leader of Organization XIII, and
recruited as its thirteenth member. Each day he is sent to other
worlds, either alone or accompanied by his fellow members, to destroy
vast quantities of Heartless, releasing stolen hearts and furthering
the Organization's goal to summon Kingdom Hearts and become complete
beings. During his time in the Organization, Roxas is placed under the
mentorship of Axel, whom he quickly befriends. Shortly after Roxas's
induction, the Organization sees the arrival of a fourteenth member
named Xion
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]who, like Roxas, has no recollection of her past and can also wield the
Keyblade. Xion grows close to Roxas, and forms a friendly trio with him
and Axel.
As DiZ and Naminé watch over Sora while he sleeps to regain the memories he lost at the end of
Chain of Memories, Roxas begins to experience the process for himself, '
growing'increasingly curious about why he can wield the Keyblade and doubtful
of the Organization's motives. Xion, meanwhile, is thrown into disarray
over the nature of her existence after an encounter with Riku,
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]discovering that she is an imperfect replica of Roxas created by Xemnas
from Sora's memories in the event that Roxas turned out to be useless
to the Organization's plans; in addition, Naminé's attempts to restore
Sora's memories not only affect Roxas, but Xion as well, preventing
Sora from awakening.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Torn between staying with her friends and merging with Sora as per Riku's advice,
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Xion eventually decides to make the decision best for everyone and attempts to escape from the Organization.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]However, she is forced to fight off her friends, who are ordered to
track her down every time she escapes, which leaves Axel disillusioned.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Finally, Roxas grows frustrated with his unanswered questions and defects from Organization XIII, leaving Axel dejected.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]At Twilight Town, Roxas encounters Xion, who has been reprogrammed
by Xemnas to fulfill her original purpose of absorbing Roxas and
becoming the "real" Sora.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]After a grueling battle, Roxas defeats Xion, who exposes the
Organization's true intentions and tells Roxas to stop Xemnas at all
costs before fading away, returning to Sora and awakening a new power
in Roxas. While heading back to confront Xemnas, Roxas encounters and
battles Riku, who was dispatched by DiZ to capture him.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]When Riku is nearly defeated, he taps into the growing darkness in his
heart, granting him the power necessary to subdue Roxas, but also
giving him the appearance of Ansem, who resides in his heart.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Riku subsequently brings Roxas to DiZ, who inserts Roxas into a virtual
simulation of Twilight Town so that he may eventually merge with Sora
and complete the restoration of his memories, setting the stage for

Kingdom Hearts titles, but stated the number of buttons on the Nintendo DS was a problem.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Some of the DS's functions, like the stylus, are not used in order to retain the similar gameplay from previous titles.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Roxas seeing Sora's memories is incorporated throughout the game and has different types of gameplay for each world.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The game's logo uses warm colors as a reference to the sunset in
Twilight Town. The title, "358/2 Days", is a code that Nomura has
stated the player will understand the meaning of at the very end of the
game, though hinted in a recent trailer, and the word "day" is attached
to the title as a reference to the daily life of Organization XIII.
