The Secrets of Organization XIII Revealed in 358/2 Days?
The shadow of Sora, the main character of Kingdom Hearts II, Roxas is the leading role of this title. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Three Five Eight Days Over Two) is a RPG that revolves around the year Roxas spent as a member of Organization XIII. This title highlights not just the daily life of Roxas and the 14th member Xion, but also their suffering…
- Axel: You’ll gradually discover, Xion
Xion turned her face away from Roxas’s words and aimed her keyblade at him. Then Axel hurl’s his weapon toward her and they begin to fight. Roxas tries to stop the two of them, but… The three of them seem so close, what could have happened?
- Roxas: (What I have? Is it my place to stay in the Organization? My place is…)
On the Organization XIII missions, Roxas visits various Disney Worlds. Seeing an hearing the various events taking place in them, he gradually begins to question his own existence and doubt the Organization. Surely his doubt grows little by little over time.
- Saix: The whereabouts of Namine, the concealed room, the place Xion was born—
In Kingdom Hearts II he confined Kairi, here Saix appears to be secret maneuvering. This title explores the actions of the members in the Organization. His contact with Axel is particluarly unusual, what in the world are they conspiring? His expectations may shock the fate of Roxas and his two companions.
- Axel: Mmm, that girl made a mistake in the first place. If she presses the switch*, she’ll be out.
Being his senior and in charge of educating him, Axel comes to have a good understanding of Roxas. During their frivolous conversations, Axel tells Roxas about various things. Often the topics of their conversation have nothing to do wth their missions. That girl he speaks of, does he mean Xion?
*In the context of, “if she keeps pushing her luck, she’ll be out.”
You can play as the members of Organization XIII in multiplayer mode. In this title, you can change weapons which
have added abilities. Like in the screenshot, you can see Axel’s chakram taking on various forms.
- Roxas: Is it the 3 side… of a dice?
One of the various missions Roxas is assigned. On the bottom part of the lower screen is the Mission Gauge, which keeps track of how much you’ve accomplished. It fills as you complete the mission, once it is full, the mission is complete. While investigating the area to complete your mission, you may come across save points. You can save your mission progress at them.
- Moogle: Moogle shop; buy, sell, synthesize, quit.
It’s a Moogle Shop that sells items in the Kingdom Hearts series. In this title, the Moogle wears
the black coat as he works. The menu lists options like “Buy Panel” and “Panel Synthesize”, these panels are unfamilar, will we get used to them?
That’s all for now!

That sounds about right. Assuming that SE doesn’t go and push the game even further into the year.

I have a theory. Kairi kinda lost her heart twice. The first was at Destiny Islands when her heart merged with Sora, which created Namine, the second might have been when Sora stabbed himself with the Dark Keyblade. His body became a heartless, but since their were two hearts in him at the time, one (his own) produced the Nobody Roxas, and the second (Kairi’s) might have produced Xion. Since Kairi’s heart wasn’t in her body at the time, she didn’t become a Shadow like Sora did. This could also explain why Xion looks a lot like Kairi and Namine and why she has a Keyblade. It could also be why Roxas and Xion joined the organization at around the same time and why they are similar as well as very close. Any thoughts?

You should post that in the rumors section at kingdomhearts3.org to get a better response.
If you haven’t registered, I suggest you do so that you can interact with others more easily. Don’t forget to say RXS referred you!

Not to ruin your advice or anything with all due respect, but even so, we’re just discussing some thoughts on ppl like Xion, Roxas, Saix, etc. There’s nothing wrong with a few theories here and there. Although, my perspective on the situation kinda ties into your advice too. Until we actually have a copy of 358/2 days in our hands for the nintendo DS and play all the way through to the end or see the japanese version of it on youtube all the way through, any theory posted up here or elsewhere is legit and ‘possibly’ valid.

well until the game comes out our theories are good and wrong
good cause thwey are possibilitys and wrong simply cause we dont know what wil happen exactly.
that theorie that the kh3obsesed said is good but until the game comes is simply something we made up a posibility or nothing
on 12 Jan 2009 at 8:08 pm 8. master x
exactly Rickey, that was part two of my perspective as well, but the conversation didn’t head there till just now.
on 13 Jan 2009 at 11:50 pm 9. Ricky
well that was my thought but thanks anyway
well lets hope the released date will b soon

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it’s pretty soon. I heard that Vincent Corazza who did Zexion in Re:COM, will be reprising his role of Zexion again in kh 358/2 days.

ZEXION xion?? hmmmmmmmm nahh
on 14 Jan 2009 at 5:10 am 12. master x
That would be what we call a coincidence. Sorta like Xemnas Roxas too. They’re names that coincidentally rhyme because of the way their names were set up.

so xion was born in a room in the organinzation? soooooo shes not kiaris anything or anyones nobody? i,ll stop right there and let you guys think about it.
on 14 Jan 2009 at 5:41 am 14. vinvin

on 14 Jan 2009 at 5:45 am 15. Sonicspeed
Riku Tiku? oh nevermind lol
Vincent Corazza is listed as in 358/2 on Wikipedia so it’s gotta be true if it wasn’t from the other sources lol

You won’t need to have a PS3 until KH3 comes out unless you’re waiting for one of the many other good PS3 games a.k.a. GoW III, Uncharted 2, etc.

Xion was named by Xemnas, in the same way every nobody born in Org. XIII was named after him. They took their Somebody name as I have dubbed it and place an X where it would be most appropiate. Also you take x away and what do you have in Xion’s name: I, O, and N. Could be any name at this point. We’ll just have to wait and see after the game comes out what her Somebody name was as well as the later half of Org. XIII.

does anyone know about the new nintendo coming out?

We should all know now that Xion is a copy of Sora’s memories imaged to look like Kairi due to Kairi being Sora’s strongest memories created by Xemnas, her original name was “no.1″ as in copy no.1 of Sora(the 1 became an I) as a “back up” if Sora was no use to Org13. which explains her changing into Sora when Roxas fights her(Xigbar fought her and she turned into Ven)read her entry on kingdom hearts.wikia.com for details^_^
