''Dissidia: Final Fantasy'' is severed as the basis for ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. Director Tetsuya Nomura had originally envisioned ''Dissidia'' as a ''Kingdom Hearts'' spin-off featuring various Disney characters, but felt uncomfortable with Disney characters fighting each other and opted to use ''Final Fantasy'' characters instead. ''Days'''s multiplayer mode was later derived from ''Dissidia'' and one of the reasons Nomura chose Organization XIII as the main characters of the game.<ref>http://www.siliconera.com/2009/06/30/dissidia-final-fantasy-originated-from-kingdom-hearts/</ref> | ''Dissidia: Final Fantasy'' is severed as the basis for ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.

The opening cinematic of the game uses scenes from previous appearances of the Organization, in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', and even additional scenes from ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', which also included adapting the cutscene of Roxas's capture from ''Final Mix'' for this game's ending. | |||
The Japanese version of the opening video lists each Organization member's attribute and weapon type, along with a short paragraph describing them which includes their title; the English version instead mentions their attributes within the paragraph and lists weapon types, with no mention of title. However, the English version of the ''HD 1.5 ReMIX'' compilation of this game's cutscenes gives the titles of the Organization members. | |||
This is the first game in the series to not have [[100 Acre Wood]], [[Atlantica]], or [[Hollow Bastion]] as playable worlds, though Hollow Bastion does appear in a flashback. This is also the first time Donald and Goofy have solo playable appearances aside from hacks in the console games. | |||
This game contains the most playable characters ever in the series, with a total of nineteen characters: all of Organization XIII, Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey. | |||
Mickey's lines in the game are produced from archived sound recordings, and no new recordings are present and this is the last Disney product to feature the voice work of Wayne Allwine. The credits contain a dedication to him: "''In loving memory of Wayne Allwine.''" | |||
