I thought his role in Kingdom Hearts II was tragic. Nearly everyone he knew was using him to get to Sora and the Keyblade, and he was basically fated not to have a happy ending. So when he got his own game in 358/2 Days, I was all over it. This is not a happy game. It is thoroughly bittersweet from start to finish, partly because you already know how this will all end for Roxas. It just makes his story even more heartbreaking by showing us the friendships he had with Axel and Xion while he was part of Organization XIII. It's kind of funny how the characters who supposedly have no hearts and no emotions are the ones who tug at your heartstrings the most. The scene right before the final boss fight might be one of the most unsettling moments in the series for me. The whole experience hit me pretty hard. As for why 358/2 Days isn't higher after saying all that, it's primarily because of the gameplay. Simply put, it's not very good. I really like Kingdom Hearts's battle system because it's normally a lot of fun, but it's not that fun here. Due to the limitations of being on the DS, it's very reductive compared to the mainline games. The missions end up being very repetitive, and the worlds themselves are pretty small. It uses a panel system similar to the one in Birth by Sleep, but it's less elaborate. I can understand why the HD version of the game was just the cutscenes because that's the real appeal here.
