Guest Reviews for KH:358/2 Days

Does Larxene have mental problems or just anger issues?

She doesn't have any mental issues, more just she doesn't know how to cope with her anger and would rather not have it/take it out on someone else

Does Namine have PTSD?

A lot of the traumatic things in her past did involve Ikrux so when she forgot him, her trauma (getting replaced, being a spare, the Organization revealing she was never one of them, Ikrux trying to kill her, Ikrux dying) was also forgotten. Some things stayed though, for example, her fear of the Organization finding her and taking her back, particularly Marluxia, Auxdrgn, and Xemnas. She does have PTSD when encountering them and often freezes if she's in an episode.

Was it her (Naminé) fault for leaving Larxene or not?

It's up for the reader's interpretation. In my own view, I'd say it doesn't fall on one person but rather multiple.

Questions

Hmmm... do you have plans to do other KH stories besides your roleswaps in the future?

I don't have any plans so far but if I get inspiration, I'll usually write it down to remember to write a story!

Do you consult other materials, like the novels or manga when making your KH fics?

Always! Whenever can't think of how I want to pace a story or if I should include some parts, I always consult the novels to see how they wrap it up nicely. I sometimes base my story outline around that (I did mainly for 358/2 Days because there was sooo much repetition.) or I just do my own pacing and storyline (Chain of Memories:Rebirth)

When I'm stumped on how to do a boss battle, I often look at novels and manga for inspiration.

If I haven't watched the Disney movie recently, I usually rewatch my source material for each world, especially if the original KH didn't make good use of the story they already had in the movie (ahem, Atlantica in KH2)

I also think I gain subconscious influence from some of the other fanworks I read including stuff other than KH

Also, if it's not a spoiler, how far do you have things planned?

It depends on how invested I am in each game honestly XD For example, I've had BBS planned out since I started because that's my fav kh game meanwhile I don't have anything yet for Coded because… Well, I'll try to make Coded more memorable than the original.
