How much of the Touch Screen will 358/2 use

[Vossler]

Well the title pretty much says it how much will we get to use the touch screen will we get to use in 358/2?

 

[Audo]

It's used for maps and menus and the panel system.
Other than that, it won't be used very much at all.

 

[Omni Terra]

I do believe in a mucj earlier inteview Nomura said the touch screen won't be used much. Still that was a long time ago so I guess things could have changed.

 

[Byronic Hero]

And Sora's face will be shown somewhere on the bottom, flinching everytime Roxas takes damage.

And Sora's face will be shown somewhere on the bottom, flinching everytime Roxas takes damage.

I think that is very specific to a portion of the game, and won't always be the case.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Hmm, seems like something that would be a nice little visual through the whole game... ehh whatever.

 

[Raz]

Wait, er, where did you get that part from, anyways?

But, yeah. They wanted to keep the same "KH feel", so they won't use it much. Just for maps, menus, and the panel system.

 

[Vossler]

Wait what is the point of Soras face and Roxas taking damage?

Well, given that we haven't seen it in any screenshots, I doubt it. Plus it's not just his face either. They talked about how there were heartless on the bottom screen as well, which would defeat the purpose of there being the Map. Which is why i assume it is only for a specific part of the game.

JF'09 Trailer.

Wait what is the point of Soras face and Roxas taking damage?

We don't know yet. But seeing as how odd it does sound, I'm willing to bet it is only for a specific part of the game.

HA! That made me lol.

 

[Ordeith]

I assume that Roxas's action, more specifically, the damage he is taking, is affecting Sora's memory restoration process. Don't ask me exactly how, though.

 

[Audo]

Olympus Coliseum.
As Roxas fights on his own, Sora seems to bear the damage he takes too.
On the top screen Roxas fighting Heartless and this HP display is shown.
On the bottom screen, Sora is shown without the HP display and Heartless.

^Exactly what is said about it.

 

[Genocide]

Holy shit, you're serious?

I think I might get the game simply for that.

 

[Byronic Hero]

I just had a crazy thought, what if Xion and Roxas getting hurt, hinders Sora's memory recovery process? Could give another reason to detain Roxas, and also give a little more explination to what Riku said to Xion at Beast's castle.

Ehh....typing as I think xD

 

[Genocide]

That'd make sense.

 

[Audo]

*still doesnt want to believe Xion has anything to do with Sora's memories*

 

[Genocide]

Neither do I, but Namine's kinda hinting at it.

 

[Audo]

I still believe that can be taken in different ways.
Ways that do not point to Sora's memory being influenced by Xion.

 

[Genocide]

I don't like Xion.

I'd rather her be the nobody of a wielder who got their Keyblade shortly after Sora got his and he influenced her in some way.

At least she wouldn't be a horrible, shitty character.

 

[Audo]

I like Xion.
I'm just not so sure I'm going to like where they are taking her.
