Ok... so... I just beat that game.
It's accurate, for the most part. But...
Ok, I'm going to stick this behind a cut, because you guys seem oh so sensitive about spoilers.
Who the hell is Xion? Yes, I know later scenes said I wasn't supposed to remember her... him... it? The writers had to explain my lack of memories of this replica somehow.
Days is essentially a bit of the true story with some... what's the word... embellishments to make it more interesting to the audience. I left the Organization a bit sooner than this game says, though for more or less the same reasons. Riku didn't catch me heading back to Never Was to try and stop the Organization, though the thought had crossed my mind. We just met there to fight it out. What happened with the fight is accurate... mostly. A lot of what was said wasn't. Some scenes, especially those concerning Xion, just didn't click, didn't raise any memories. Yes, I know the game says those memories would be pretty well gone. Other scenes, I may as well have gone through the situation again, the memories were vivid enough.
Yes I know this brings up an issue of numbers. This puppet was supposedly XIV, but even if it had existed, it wasn't actually a member. They never added another throne, this puppet was never included in meetings. I wouldn't put it past Xemnas to let us think that there was a fourteenth when there wasn't, just to uphold some illusion on how accurate the 'prophecy' was.
As to the game not mentioning Song, well... It's hard to say. They could well have had it written before they found out this was really happening and didn't want to rewrite too much. Or maybe they didn't want to use the likeness of someone who knows or might know the laws on that world regarding using a person's likeness in media. It's hard to say.
No, I don't want to discuss every little scene that did click and kick start my memory a little and no, I don't feel like picking apart the scenes that didn't click.
