Thanks to Olivea at HeartStation who translated the gameplay video of 358/2 Days featuring Roxas and Axel in Twilight Town.

Axel: Well now, today’s mission is to suppress a specific Heartless…

Axel: Alright, let’s take care of this quickly

Search for the big Heartless that appeared in Twilight Town

Pushed the control panel switch

Axel: OK! Let’s go, Roxas!

Roxas: …

Axel: Hey Roxas, did you hear me?

Roxas: Huh? Oh, yeah..

Axel: Oh man, you really are messed up huh?

Roxas: Mm…

Axel: Looks like we found our target

Axel: Let’s go Roxas! Don’t be careless!

Suppress the Guard Armor

Axel: Roxas! Fight fight fight! Just as expected, you really can use that keyblade!

Roxas: All that? It wasn’t a big deal

Axel: Heh, you’re just being a little modest

Axel: Anyways! Now for our reward for today’s mission

Roxas: Huh?

Axel: Come along now. The special place, you remember it?

Axel: Here we are, our reward!

Roxas: … Ice cream?

Axel: Do you remember the name of this ice cream?

Roxas: Umm…

Axel: Sea salt ice cream… I told you before
Get it memorized

Roxas: It’s salty…
But sweet

Axel: Heheh, Roxas
You said the same thing last time

Roxas: Really? I can’t remember very well.

Axel: How’s it been since then? Are you gradually getting used to the Organization?

Roxas: I… I don’t really understand it
The only thing we do everyday is go on a mission from the castle,
then we return again to the castle

Axel: Well…

Axel: Hey… Roxas

Axel: After our next mission, let’s come here again and eat ice cream

Axel: Going back and forth from the castle and the missions gets boring, doesn’t it?

Roxas: …

Roxas: I guess so

Kingdom Hearts Insider translated a blog that released a new detail regarding the battle system for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days:

When the player’s HP drops and the HP gauge turns red, the player can initiate a Limit Break by holding down the A button for a few seconds. During the Limit Break, the player’s speed and attack power increases.

More details about the battle system are expected to arise now that the release date is fast approaching.

The official Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days website received an update. Two new scenes in the Events section were added.
Event eight features a scene between Namine and DiZ, then a scene between Namine and Xion.
Event nine contains a conversation between Roxas, Axel, and Saix.

Sorry for the delay folks, I’ve had a pretty busy week with midterms and a big project.

First up is an update by Minimin’s Memo regarding an article featuring Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days in the April edition of V-Jump, which was released on the 21st.

The article contains new information on the Customize feature of 358/2 Days. According to the Customize feature, there are variations in magic of the same type, resulting in different effects. For example, Blizzard is a strong attack but it can only hit one enemy at a time, while Blizzara freezes multiple enemies in blocks of ice but has a short attack range. And then Blizzaga is strong and effective, but takes time to cast.

Furthermore, the weapon of each member can be customized using the Panel system. Like Luxord’s cards can become wide range type or a magic type, and Xaldin’s lances can become a strong aerial fighting type or a magic reinforcing type.
