358/2 Days - Coats

Tue Nov 3, 2009, 1:03 PM
Before I start this little rant I would like to point out to everyone that I have not actually played the game Days and after reading some creditable reviews and from watching videos of the game play, I don't think I ever will play the game. What I've gathered is that it is a horrible spin off KH and KH2 and creates so many pot holes you couldn't get a range rover over it and so full of mary sue-ish tendencies that it could make your eyes bleed. All of this, along with my own misgivings of spin offs (I was so horrible disappointed with the game play of CoM I turned it off part way through and went onto youtube to watch the cuts scenes rather then sit through the rest it), I went and did some digging into the Days game only to discover the most interesting inconsistency.

It seems the creators of the game have become increasingly lazy. I don't mean plot, which granted, seems to be slowly moving down to spiral the drain but the actual character design itself.

I am a great lover of the villains of KH. Nobodies are my favorite group by far; however, there seems to be a lot of different ways people draw the coats of Organization XIII. *phr34kish was the one to first point out to me that I was drawing them incorrectly. Many artist give the hoods for these coats a more 'hoody' type front where the hood connects to a point before attaching to the zipper.

This is actually incorrect. There is a flap of the hood that pulls back when the coat is down to form a lapel. That way when the hood is up, the front zips to cover the chin and mouth like so: [link]

But for some reason in Days the designers seemed to have given up on making their coats consistent part way through. Mickey's coat is still in the original lapel-style but the other characters seem to switch back and forth in both the drawings and the game itself. In the trailer video of Xion, she has the correct lapel coat, but for the actual game play it is discarded for a more low cut opening. Examples of that can be seen here: [link] here: [link] and here: [link]

Perhaps to you, it seems like a silly thing to get worked up about, but I found it simply to be another example of the inconsistency that Days has presented to the audience. Not only did they butcher the plot, negate any importance the main character Sora has (after all we've been following him for three games only to find out that the real reason Roxas leaves the Organization or Rikku feels something familiar about the other is because of Sora's new 'clone', Xion) but now we find they didn't even have the time or patience to keep their own character's consistent.

For those of you who are interested in a review on the actual characters and game play I recommend: [link]

Also, what the crap was with Xion wearing Sora's clothing? Am I the only one that found that totally stupid?
