“I hear Naminé is missing.” “Don’t know what to tell you. There one moment, gone the next.” “Did you check every room?” “You’re kidding, right? That’s like counting specks of dust in a room full of sneezing people.” You highlighted so many good lines throughout the days, I might as well contribute my favorite Axel line. Just in general. Shame on the movie version for cutting it.

One (really) tragic detail: During the final battle with Xion, one of her battle quotes was "Stop holding back!". It wasn't a challenge; it was a request, a plea even. Xion was definitely going all out here because she WANTED Roxas to be on the brink of death, in order for him to give it his all. I always thought the day was called "Tears" because it showed Roxas' tears, I never thought it would mean MY tears too 😭

When I was a kid, I'd plug in my headphones into my DSI just to listen to the opening theme over and over again. I even discovered that the music still played even when the DSI was closed, so I would carry it in my pocket like it was an mp3 player. Since there was a multiplayer option, my friend and I would play together, fangirl over our favorite Organization members, and laugh at the different Casual Gear weapons.

Saix's Casual Gear banana is one of the best ones.

The way Roxas' last line to Xion apparently differs between translations is really interesting. In English when he says "Who else will I have ice cream with?" it effectively implies he has no one else, no other friends, or in other words he hasn't forgiven Axel. While he apparently references the three of them having ice cream together again in Japanese implying he just wants things to go back to how they were before, regardless of all the lying and betrayal, losing Xion like this has made him realise that as mad as he may have gotten at Axel he still cares and misses the times when they were able to just be happy together.

"Yeah, sure, I'll do a Days video." Makes the most elaborate and in-depth Days video anyone could possibly make. Like holy shit. This is amazing.

I've always thought it was interesting that Roxas's reaction to everything was to try and rock back up to the castle to basically kill everyone. I think it shows a lot about his character and maybe the effect Xion has on him (and the loosening of that effect as her memory slips away from him). It might be the closest Roxas ever gets to his emotionless evil nobody side, but it ironically comes when he's feeling the MOST emotion he ever has. Also, wouldn't it have been in Riku and Diz's interest to let Roxas run wild on the Organization? Like when Roxas dies then Sora will be reconstituted anyway so just let Roxas take some members of the Organization with him. He probably won't make it to Xemnas since Riku-Ansem bodied him, but it still helps if Roxas manages to get all the way to Xaldin or Xigbar before he goes out.

As someone who's first game was 358/2 days, this video makes me very happy. It shows how worthwhile it is to play this game, and experience it's story. As others have pointed out, experiencing this game first before anything else and learning about the world building and the conflicts through Roxas' eyes at the same time as him was a very amazing experience that I don't think many people get to experience.

I always thought the "358" days referred to the time Roxas spent in the OG13 and the "2" was day 359 where Roxas got caught and The First Day which leads right into KH2.

1:45 showing Day 73 - The Promise while talking about how this video was something you promised? Very nice bit of subtle editing, you're getting really good at this!

I like how _every single transition line_ is about Ice Cream Also, I love how Days shows that Roxas is every bit as much of a loveable dumbass as Sora, if not even MORE of a loveable dumbass. To the point that even PHIL basically adopts the poor kid 1:09:00 The World of Phil idea has me utterly weak with laughter 1:27:45 I believe you mean, “slaycation” 2:20:00 the Manga for days is incredibly good all around, but I especially love how they handle that end of the scene: instead of already being unconscious, Axel retains consciousness just long enough to see Xion being dragged away, and react in an exhausted horror upon realizing what he just did, and what’s going to happen to her 2:23:50 again in the Manga, they go full in on the idea that Xion was directly goading Roxas to kill her before she could end up killing him The whole day 358 sequence is honestly even more heartbreaking when you realize that you’re watching Roxas quite literally lose his mind: Xion is LITERALLY more than 50% of his positive experiences with reality, and he is simultaneously being wracked with the grief of killing her while also having that half of his life stripped away. If he had somehow managed to get past Riku… he would have become the very same empty shell Marluxia was hoping to turn Sora into. There was no scenario where he can come back from this alive, because Roxas _doesn’t even want that_ anymore. The absolute best, pie in the sky possibility would be for him to commit a genocide against Nobodies, kill Xemnas, and then die, having released Master Xehanort back into the world, with the only silver lining being the Schadenfreude of Luxu having to deal with the course of history having been derailed by a single boy with a whole lot of hurt

Your 'Working Together' joke almost killed me

Even as a kid I questioned why we were killing nobodys as an assessment of our abilities

this is one of my comfort video essays

My theory as to why Roxas possesses both Oathkeeper and Oblivion is symbolize his friendship with Xion and Axel much like Sora uses them to symbolize his ties to Kairi and Riku. As to why those specific keyblades instead of unique ones for Roxas is probably because of Sora's memories tying those keyblades to his most important connections which can make sense with Oathkeeper with Xion since she looks like KH1 Kairi and she makes Roxas promise he would set the hearts free within Kingdom Hearts, but it is a bit tricky with Oblivion and Axel since the only real connection to Oblivion is the idea of friends being "lost" with Sora losing Riku to Ansem and vowing to get him back while Roxas and Axel's friendship becomes strained after Roxas attempts to destroy Kingdom Hearts despite Axel attempting to persuade him to stop and essentially "losing" his friend/s. I also believe that is why Riku uses Oblvion as well since he fears "losing" Sora if he can not get his memories back from Roxas. This is all just my interpretation on the situation though,

Pat’s comedy throughout this video was on another level, way too many one liners to count

Interesting tidbit that always fascinated me about days: this is Chronologically the latest point in the timeline we see Wonderland and Neverland

I looked up the japanese name for crimson performer to see if it made more sense and apparently it was "bleeding performer." Its not red and it doesn't bleed, so neither of those names really relate to anything about it, it seems. There's an itching in the back of my head that there's some intended relation between the concept of them being "bleeding" and sharing health, but I can't make the connection.

I'm not sure how it translates to Japanese, but it could be tied into the saying of someone being a "bleeding heart", which has multiple definitions but can essentially be boiled down to being overly sympathetic to the point where it negatively impacts them or the world around them. It would at least explain them reviving each other.

Thanks as always for going above and beyond at thoughtful and analytical Kingdom Hearts content. I haven't played the actual game since around when it released, so it was fun to look back on the game itself and not just the movie version from the HD rereleases.

love the new intro! got into this series in 2022 and these videos are great! it was a vibe playing this game during the summer lol

I've always thought the heartless names were what jiminy calls them and since hes not with the organization, someone has to be giving the names.... my moneys on siax but it would be funny to hear xemnas go "i shall call this heartless.... tricky monkey"

For all that the franchise lacks great writing and is prone to having one-dimension side characters, it's always had great moments. Even if the story content between the huge scenes isn't always all there, the emotional climaxes are usually done really well, and Days has some of the best ones in the series. The end of Day 358 has always struck a chord with me in particular, there's something really poignant about it being recontextualized as a boy trying to avenge a dead friend whose memories have been stripped away from him. It's probably the best use of the "hearts and memory" theme in the franchise, as well.

Let's go man, I've been down all day and this finally happened! Thank you for making my next 2 and a half hours!

I am not a huge Days guy, but you put so much work and care into this project. I never thought someone could care about the Kingdom Hearts franchise as much as me, but you make me feel validated in my nerdy interests. May you and Regular GF do well in life and blessings to you and yours. If you don't feel appreciated, just know that you are. Thanks man, and may your heart be your guiding key.

2h30 of clever game commentary, puns, recurring gags and referential humor with a deadpan delivery is all I ever wanted.

Dark Follower does have some significant changes - some of its moves have added effects to make them more likely to hit you, and some of them can inflict statuses like Blind. I believe it's also slightly harder to hit while doing some of its attacks? It's a Darkside at base, but it does add to that base. Infernal Engine actually has more to it than you mentioned. You're meant to block the cannon shots, which will reflect them and kill the bowman Heartless on top of it. Actually, it seems you didn't block nearly enough, because several bosses including every single Zip Slasher variant have weaknesses exposed by blocking. Not Ruler of the Sky though, who has basically no blockable attacks, and not Leechgrave who will poison your ass if you even consider it.

IMO the best way to experience the story is through the 5-volume manga. It covers everything nicely and does a great job depicting the gameplay elements and exploring the worlds, and nails the characterisations even more than the game does. Also balances the light-hearted and fun moments perfectly with the serious and tear-jerking ones.

I always loved this game to bits and it’s so good to have a huge video that, while critiquing it, absolutely holds up the best moments on the pedestal they deserve. In regards to Roxas’ last words to Xion, I find it weird that I never minded it? I always understood what they were going for even if the line just sounds hokey. I think being aware that there’s alot of weird dialogue in the franchise as a whole and that the voice direction (not the quality of the acting mind) was a work in progress always just made me accept it. Of course the Axel/Xion scene is one of the best acted scenes in the entire franchise so what do I know.

I distantly remember the last hour of the game leaving me a Wreck. Even with it's flaws, it's honestly my favorite in the series, so seeing all of this is such a treat.

Man, I fucking love your content! I'm not even that big on Kingdom Hearts, only completed the main three games after finding your channel (Final Fantasy fan) but I honestly tell folk about your channel all the time. Keep doing you :)

One time, I did a business management class assignment where I sectioned Organization XIII’s members into a management hierarchy, with explanations. So, hearing you call Saïx a middle manager, my main example for that section, was a special kind of pleasing for me.

Xigbar and Demyx aren't that bad it's Xaldin who's just spouting random nonsense to Roxas when they go out on missions Luxord is cool too adding bits of wisdom in the form of riddles

Pat's impressions of the Organization members gives me life especially his Siax impression 😂😂😂

I swear I'm not just saying this because of the video length and me being a h.a.n.d. apologist: this is your finest work. So many moments in this had me laughing my ass off on a level I can't describe, and when your commentary isn't trying to be funny it's still immensely insightful. I can't praise this video enough.

1:55:25 got a good chuckle out of me, had to comment Thanks for the video, Days was my first KH game and it was great to hear someone talk about it for so long in a fair, often funny, and analytical way

I don't think I've ever been more glued to a screen. Thanks for all the time and effort that went into this, Pat!

Imma be the contrarian about leechgrave. The boss is one of the few instances in this game that really encourages you to experiment with panel setups. You can go a full magic build to defeat the tentaclaws easily, you can go with an air combo setup for the boss, or go with (the objective best setup in the game) crit to have a 30% chance to just oneshot everything. Most of the game can be beaten with just the keyblade and a few spells, but this mission actually wants you to experiment. You can also block the tentaclaws to stun them, which triples the damage they take, and makes them easier to hit.

Days was my introduction to the series, and it really had so much character to go around. The conceit of these individuals all saying "we don't have hearts" while so very clearly having defined personalities and goals and relationships was so compelling, and the betrayal of the people you'd come to rely on, the revelations that you've been walking towards an inevitable end, it was so very unfair in a way that captured so much more of the tragedy than the intro to KH2 could have managed (though it certainly tried to!) It's a very different way to approach the series than most people have, and I remember being an edgy teenager angry and frustrated with Sora and Riku, because why did /their/ lives matter more? Roxas was the one up and living, he had no choice in anything that happened to him. And when you're coming at it from the perspective of knowing him first, it was just comically infuriating to hear other characters boil him down to not being real, because you played him, and you know how real he was. I remember reading somewhere that the Org were some of Nomura's favorites too, and it really feels that way in this game. They're all very funny, I love the feral coworker vibe more as an adult than I did as a child.

I watched all the way to the end. Thanks for all your hard work. I’m glad you had fun making the video! I think it is time I tackled this game. I will take your words about playing in chunks and changing out builds to heart.

The fact that you call us legends for finishing the video is crazy man You are a legend for doing all of this I LOVE KH 358/2 days with my life and still this would've been such a struggle ugh You are amazing and thank you for making this!!!

The part with the roflmao'ing ''it's just a prank bro'' Crimson Prankster and the ''I'm just asking questions'' ''we live in a society'' Cheshire Cat killed me :D

Something that makes me like the Leechgrave is its mysterious nature. What's mainly interesting about it is the coffin that's chained up. Why is it chained up, what felt the need to chain it up, what inside it. It's just interesting.

Good to hear you finally understood the value, and at the same time boss-sized devalue, of one of the gems of the series.

Have been listening to this while drawing and it's been quite enjoyable to listen to. Great job!

Amazing video as always RegularPat! I’ve never really thought about playing days, but now I really want to! Congrats on the Patreon milestone! You deserve it!

Been waiting for this one! Amazing video as always pat 👏

It's a little embarrassing how often i come back to this video just to listen - honestly some of the best script writing, and it's a weird but kind of fun way to experience a game I was never able to play myself. Thanks so much for doing this project - i know i'll be watching it again

Gotta say, it doesn't seem like you blocked very often, as another comment said. Leechgrave is actually made so much easier than you make it out to be, as if you block the lunge attack the Tentaclaws do, they get stunned for a long time and you can easily kill it like that without magic. Same thing with many other enemies, if you just block, you can easily kill several enemies so much faster as their defense falls so low. Give it another chance, Leechgrave ain't all that bad, along with a few other enemies ^-^

Also Invisible can be stunned if you hit with a combo finisher when it does it's shockwave after it reappears. I'm glad it turns invisible so often.

Carrier Ghost is easily dealt with if you do not let it see you. Same with Living Pot, but that's harder. Just stay behind it and keep attacking and it'll never rise, nor attack you. It's just long and tedious if you're not strong enough to deal good damage at that point.

Sapphire Elegy is really really simple to deal with. Block the headbutt, and it stops teleporting for a long time. The mission detail even states this.

The Zip Slasher enemies are also blockable when they charge up to attack. If blocked, they fall over and their defense is beyond trash at this point. Just gotta block more lol

Kind of a fun fact about the Dark Follower boss fight: When it uses that one attack that spawns in Shadows, you're able to see special purple Shadow variants. They're basically just palette swaps but it's still really cool.

Phenomenal video. It’s hard to recall exactly, but 2009 was when I started playing the series. As you mentioned, the barrier to entry was much easier since I had DS and otherwise had to borrow my roommates PS2. I think I played this concurrently with KH1 even though nearly all context was lost on me. Could be part nostalgia, could be part the internal pushback against criticism this game often receives, but this is always going to be one of my top 3 games in the series I think. I’d pay good money for a full playable remake, even though I know it’ll never happen.

i recently started rereading the 358/2 days manga and this video, and what's really funny about 2:07:20 of saix not knowing the word motivation is because this is a fan-translated screenshot-the translator's note under his panel says, "'motivation' is actually written in katakana here, meaning it's treated like a foreign word, which is why saix seems kind of buh", the more you know LMAO

Just as i was fed up of scrolling KZread aimlessly thinking I'd watched everything i wanted to for the day. Been so hyped for this, and did not disappoint. Great work 💜 Can't wait for next year's "Every Block from Re:coded ranking" ;)

LOVE the intro ❤️

subscribed for the excellent captioning before i was even 5 minutes into the video. not enough youtubers pay attention to this and implement it and i thank you for doing so.

I think the dustflier in day 353 was this game's attempt at a superboss.

I'd love to see a ranking of Organization members, mostly just because I want to hear you talk about them all at length

Saix politely asking on the mission that he send Roxas and Xion to fight each other killed me lol
