And…it’s a bit empty. Still, there’s a piece of stirring and vaguely epic sounding piano music to listen to while you download the wallpaper of Roxas - who you may remember from the long pre-credits sequence from Kingdom Hearts II; you’d just started to really like him and then he buggers off for almost the entire rest of the game -  and wonder why on God’s green earth it’s called 358/2 days. Apparently you find out at the end of the story why it’s not just called 179 days, though. So that’s nice.

Here’s hoping Square-Enix has taken a few tips from the TWEWY handbook of How To Do Really Brilliant Action-RPGs On A Handheld, but the action’s going to be pseudo-3D so perhaps we won’t get any touchscreen-based battle shenanigans.

It’ll be out in Japan by the end of the year. As ever, there’s no word on a western release.
