    Should I bother finishing 358/2 Days before starting this?

    I'm a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts but I just kinda got bored of 358/2 Days after awhile. If there's any kind of story connection, I'll go finish it, but is it necessary?

    @Kyle: Wow, surprised no one answered this. Anyways, there is a story connection, but it's one of those prequel story connections. If you're going to play in order of story then it would go Birth by Sleep then 358/2 Days.

    358/2 is terrible, whereas BBS is the best of the series, so just skip 358/2.

    I enjoyed 358/2 Days, actually.  What did you find so terrible about it?

    Gameplay was bad, story and characters were uninteresting. Xion was completely pointless and Roxas is, well, Roxas.

    That's not particularly informative.

    Ya the story felt like it was going nowhere. I just got turned off from it.

    You dont have to worry about missing that game, you'll be fine going straight into Birth by Sleep.......I should get back to finishing that game.

    There aren't any story connections between the two games, especially seeing as they're separated by more than 10 years. You'll be completely fine just going straight into Birth by Sleep.

    I have no interest in ever playing 358/2 Days, but I really want to know what the fuck that title means. Is it just random SE bullshit or does it refer to something and is in fact relevant to the story? I gave up on the series after KH2, and don't want to play though a game called 358/2 Days just to find out what 358/2 is. Oh, and please mark your answer with a spoiler tag. Just in case.
