Playing as Roxas for a WHOLE story not that fun?

[dapofola]

When I got KH 358/2 days, I thought I would have a HELL of a time playing as Roxas. And in my opinion -- it wasn't that fun. I expected to be able to dual wield near the end of the story. But I was wrong. I couldn't Dual Wield until the LAST mission. I really hated that fact. I can't wait for BBS to come out, (Even though I bet that's gonna dissipoin me, too). I think that KH and FF lost its charm after Kh2 came out. Then the 6.5/10 Final Fantasy 12 came out; The 7.5/10 KH 358 2 days came out; the 7.8/10 Dissidia came out.; the I haven't played yet Crisis Core Came out.

I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy 358/2 Days that much. I have some complaints as well, but I still think it's a pretty solid entry in the KH franchise.

I thought it was neat to see how Roxas spent his time while he was in the Organization, and I thought that the gameplay was pretty good as well. I did have a bit of trouble with the panel system, in that I think it's quite silly to have to equip your levels when you could use those spaces for more magic or potions or whatever else you needed, but it's really just a small complaint.

I personally don't think Square-Enix has lost it's charm, because I quite enjoyed Final Fantasy XII, Crisis Core, and 358/2 Days. I will say that I thought the storymode in Dissidia was a bit on the cheesy side, but the gameplay more than makes up for it, so yeah, I enjoyed that game as well. I understand if you didn't like those games, because everyone has a different view about things. I'm just saying that I don't see where Square-Enix is going downhill.

I am playing through 358/2 right now, and I'm having a blast. However, it's probably becaise I'm the biggest Org. XIII fan there is. I liked finding out how Org. XIII does their work. I always thought they just sat on their chairs until they were needed, but I was surprised they had a nice break room with comfy couches, got vacations, and did things like normal people, like Luxord having a poker league with the other members, heh heh. I think I'm on Day 173 or something like that, and I love arranging panels and looking at the Org.'s different weapons.

I certainly do not think it sucks playing as Roxas the whole time. I do have some disputes with this game but this is certainly not one of them.

As KeyBlader pointed out I enjoyed seeing that they actually had lives. I recently bought this, well actually its more like yesterday. Great game, I love it couldn't ask for more in a KH game.,..

Sorry to veer this topic off-course for a moment, but I came across this, and I thought it was a bit odd...

However, you said that it was fun in another thread.

Crisis core is for the PSP. That game is fun. The best Square Enix game on the PSP.

I'm just confused a bit in your statement... You say it's fun, but then you say you haven't played it yet? As for the scores you gave the other games, I'm all for giving your opinion about them, but I think that disliking KH 358/2 Days because Roxas doesn't duel-weild until the last mission is a bit harsh... There's plenty more to enjoy about the game, and I think that you should give it a better chance, imo.

Don't hate on Roxas! He's got such nice hair after all...

I always liked Roxas more than Sora, so this game isn't bad at all for me. It's not worse than the first game, but not as good as the second KH game, so it's whatever. You press buttons and whatnot to attack and counter, just like in KH for the PS2, and you don't actually need both keyblades, so all that is fine.

Sure, the story could be a little more interesting, but I think it's kind of slow-paced and mellow because that kind of plot fits the characters and Organization. You honestly can't expect a bunch of Nobodies to be as emotional and exciting as Sora and his crew of misfits right? I appreciate that it doesn't feel forced in that way.

And what the hell are you doing looking at ratings? Those don't matter as long as you enjoy the game....which you obviously don't as much as I do, but that's not the point. And I love the panels...they're like gambits and tetris put together. I LOVE THEM.

i dont think square going down hill is to blame for this, i jsut think it was a bad idea for a game, it was made to calm the hard core org fans, there wasent much of a story behind the game or much chracter development behind roxas.

this game ruined roxas for me because in the game he was basicly just a puppet.

but my main point is just this was one bad game, i think the series is still going strong

It's not dual weilding, it's the missions. I liked playing a world at a time. And you cant leave until you're done.

Dissidia was a 5.9/10 game for me, what a mistake that game was..

Sorry you didn't like 358/2 Days,i thought it was really good.
The only thing about it,to master it you need to repeat the levels a lot which kinda sucks but the gameplay is awesome.
You can always dual-wield with Roxas in mission/multiplayer mode by using Zero Gear (3 ability units). That saved it for me.
I really liked the multiplayer mode

On GameSpot is your go-to source for video game news, reviews, and entertainment I gave dissidia a 6.0. And well, I beat 358 2 days and well... I LOVED it. (on gamespot Im myth2h1)

Dude get zero gear on roxas give it three ability panels and use him in mission mode you get auto dual wield by doing that, but it's not as stupid powerful as it is in mission mode which is why you only get it for the run to rikku

I just think that they should have made it a bit longer! :/

The story,voices and the everything how Squall and Zidane came into play was just too stupid and should've never been done.

I'm not one of those that think Kingdom Hearts butcher FF characters, i love KH, but this game really tries to destroy good characters with bad imitation.
The battle mode is okay though but the rest was just too bad..

Story mode, you know se was pressed for time on it though so can't really blame them

One prob if they do that they lose a ****load of fanseople were disapointed with 12 so they wanted their epic [B]now[B] and people already new they were making dissidia which was far from perfect,not knowing that people got very pissed and impatient so better to release something than nothing
