Vorlage:Future game Vorlage:Infobox CVG Vorlage:Nihongo is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the Nintendo DS with assistance from h.a.n.d. Inc.[1] It is an installment in the best-selling Kingdom Hearts series. The game features Roxas during the time period of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories after Sora entered a deep sleep. This game will explore the time from Roxas's creation until his confrontation with Riku that leads to his placement in the data-based Twilight Town in Kingdom Hearts II. It is said to be in full 3D as a single and multiplayer game. The game was announced at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show. Currently the title is only confirmed for a Japanese release, though Square Enix has plans for releases in other territories.[2]

Gameplay

Vorlage:Sect-stub The gameplay is similar to the action role-playing game style of the previous games in the series.[3] 358/2 Days will make minimal use of the system's functionality.[4] The game will feature both single player and multiplayer gameplay.[5][6] The single player mode will be story based focused on Disney worlds from past games and will progress in days.[1] The two modes will be linked in that character growth will be shared between them.[4]

Multiplayer

Cooperative multiplayer was one feature on display at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show demonstrating that players can work together, in addition to the traditional use of AI controlled partners.[7][8] The multiplayer gameplay is separate from the single player story and will be mission-based, which include boss fights and competitive player battles.[4] It will also allow up to four players to play as one of the thirteen members of Organization XIII. Each member will have different weapons and skills.[1] 358/2 Days' multiplayer will also feature a chat system for communication between players, but will be different from PictoChat in that everyone will draw on the same screen.[4] Players will be able to choose which members of Organization XIII they would like to accompany them on their missions.

Plot

Vorlage:Sect-stub 358/2 Days revolves around the untold events of Roxas during his time with Organization XIII[9] and will take place during the year that Sora was asleep between the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II.[1] Tetsuya Nomura has noted that the game's prologue will cover the "birth" of Roxas, but the gameplay will start from when he enters the Organization.[10] Nomura has stated that the player will understand the meaning of "358/2 Days" at the very end of the game. The initial trailer showed most of the events in Twilight Town. Organization XIII's headquarters[11] and Wonderland have been featured.

Characters

Like previous Kingdom Hearts titles, 358/2 Days will feature numerous Disney characters.[8] Confirmed characters include Roxas, King Mickey,[2][8] the other twelve members of Organization XIII, and a new member of Organization XIII.[6]

Development

Vorlage:Sect-stub 358/2 Days was announced alongside Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts coded at the Tokyo Game Show on September 20, 2007. A trailer was shown in the Square Enix "Closed Mega Theater", a photo-prohibited theater presenting 40 minutes of trailers.[12][6] It is being developed by h.a.n.d Inc. with Square Enix employees overseeing the process. The game is directed by Tetsuya Nomura and co-directed by Tomohiro Hasegawa.[1] Nomura mentioned earlier in 2007 that he wanted to do a spin-off Kingdom Hearts game on a mobile platform and that he wanted the game to play slightly different than the other titles already in the series.[13] The development team wants to have gameplay similar to previous Kingdom Hearts titles, but have stated that the number of buttons on the Nintendo DS is a problem.[1] Some of the DS's functionality, like the stylus, is not being used in order to retain the similar gameplay from previous titles.[4] The team is also looking to incorporate Roxas seeing Sora's memories throughout the game and having different types of gameplay for each world.[1]
