Forum:Placing Kingdom Hearts coded
On most places on the wiki, including the main page, content pertaining to Kingdom Hearts coded is placed before 358/2 Days. This is based on the 2008 release date of the the pre-installed promotional side episode. On other parts of the wiki, coded content is placed after Birth by Sleep, based on the 2010 release date of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. However, it seems like the official Square Enix position is...neither of these.
All official sources the place the game between 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep. This is based on the June 3, 2009 release date of the first actual coded episode. This is most clearly seen on the official JP site and the series overview in the 20th Anniversary recap, but this pattern is everywhere. For example, in Melody of Memory, Key Scene cards are ordered by game release date, and Re:coded scenes come between KHD and BBS ones. Even the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World of Tres- program places the Re:coded song between these two other games' medleys.
Given that SE doesn't seem to count the promotional/demo episode as the actual game's release date – and consistently sticks the game between KHD and BBS – I think it would make the most sense to move our coverage of Kingdom Hearts coded and Re:coded to this "official" spot in the timeline. (Also, given the relatively small scope of the game, this wouldn't actually be that major a change to wiki content.) Thoughts?
