Featuring a simplified version of the franchise’s action RPG battle mechanics, the game has not received the same remastered treatment lượt thích the first three games in the franchise did, with fellow Nintenvì chưng DS entry Re:coded also relegated lớn mere cutscenes in the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 và 2.5 Remix remasters.

So why is that? Why, even after 12 years, this somewhat important part of the franchise has not been revisited since the Nintenvì DS?

Why It Should Be Revived

*

The main reason why 358/2 Days should be revived is due lớn the smascordbrownz.comificant plot elements that are introduced in the game and how much it affects the rest of the franchise. This is mostly due lớn the game taking place concurrently with the first Kingdom Hearts game và Chain of Memories.

On top of that, the key dynamic of Roxas, Axel, and Xion is the cornerstone of 358/2 Days & should not be reduced to the cutscenes that we have sầu now. New players should be able to lớn experience these story moments first hand, just like the rest of the games.

Why It Should Stay on DS

The game’s flow & structure would not work on anything other than the Nintenvì chưng DS, not because of any hardware-specific features like the touch screen, but 358/2 Days was meant khổng lồ be played literally over a year, with the game having you chipping away day by day.

Because of that, the game didn’t have players traveling between worlds, but instead had them engaging in often repetitive sầu missions. This also came with the fact that the combat was not as complex as the rest of the series, being one of the most simple take on the formula yet.

How Could It Be Improved

If the 358/2 Days was overhauled khổng lồ not be as repetitive sầu by adding more variety in experiencing Roxas’ story, then it might be worth a remake. Make the missions playable with other Organisation members, borrow elements from games like Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, then we might just have a solid game on our hands.

Not only that, but with the massive sầu popularity of Organisation XIII và this game letting players play as them in the exclusive sầu multiplayer mode, is something that might be a big boon for the franchise, especially since no new entry has offered multiplayer in this capathành phố since Birth By Sleep.

It’s an important piece of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, và as we move sầu forward khổng lồ the next phase of the franchise, it would be nice for us to have sầu a complete way lớn experience each và every entry. That said, Re:coded can stay as a glorified cutscene compilation though.
