Hello friends, allies, minions, shadows, etc, etc, etc, to my Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days walkthrough, but of course, I'm forgetting something important, who am I? Well, I am the humble narrator that will help you through your game, the one you look up to and call master, DarkestShadow. But enough of the pleasantries, lets get to buisness.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (henceforth know as Days or 358/2 Days. They really know how to make long titles huh) is an interesting title in the Kingdom Hearts Series, due to its story being based around a mission structure instead of the freedom of other games such as Kingdom Hearts II or Birth by Sleep. Gameplay revolves around a panel system, meaning that spells such as fire, don't require MP, and upgrading weapons is done through gears. While this is an interesting system, it can get tedious at times, with you not always having enough panel space to include Items or spells you really want. The true attraction of this game though, comes in the form of the playable character. This is the first game in the series where you don't play as Sora during the single player campaign, but in fact play as Roxas.

While this game is part of the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix, its only HD cutscene's, meaning it isn't playable. So I'll be doing this walkthrough on the DS version of the game. This game works on every DS system, but the my recommended systems are either the DS Lite or 3DS system (the circle pad works with the game).

Finally a word of warning, my walkthroughs generally contain the following: Swearing, idiocracy, mistakes, and anything else that pops into my head. if you don't like that then too bad, I've currently got the only walkthrough :D.

How to play Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Before we begin, there are a few things you're gonna need. First off you need two working human hands, Two super-ultra-mega-HD viewing screens implanted in your head known as eyes. Hearing isn't required, but recommended if you want to hear the voice acting and absolutely wonderful Soundtrack. Reading is also required (I don't how you're reading this if you can't)

For technology you're gonna need either any of the DS line. Next you'll need a copy of the game, which can be gained at your local video game store, or the internet, though I would go with the hard copy. Finally insert the cart into the system with the aforementioned hands, and away you go (get a parent or guardian to perform the task mentioned above if necessary).

Controls
There are two different control schemes in Days, and which you prefer doesn't really matter, as only the functionality of the and  buttons change. The game uses a slightly modified version of the classic menu system, meaning lots of scrolling! only, is scroll, which is kinda weird, but makes sense seeing as this was based on the old DS button layout. is select, is jump and deselect,  is special commands such as block and dodge roll, and the D-pad (and-or the Circle-Pad) is movement. and have multiple functionalities based on control scheme, with control scheme A having  open short cut commands when held down, and  fixing the camera angle when pressed once, changing the target while locked on, and toggling lock-on by tapping twice. whereas control scheme B makes rotate the camera left when held down, pressing once changes to the next target while locked on, and opens the shortcut menu when held in conjunction with. While rotates the camera right when held down, moves to next target when pressed once, and when pressed twice activates the lock on. lets you freeview, and pauses the game and lets you into the main menu (outside of battle zones).

Panels
Panels are this games version of abilities or commands. Panels are laid out in a tetris style and dictate what abilities Roxas has, what weapon he has, and his items and magic. These come in many shapes and forms, and can be found through out the game in chests, through characters, and bought from Moogles.

Now that all that is out of the way. Let the walkthrough... Begin!
