Sometimes I think the only solution to not having the good stuff first is to move to Japan.

    NY is great, mostly NYC is.

    Plus a lot of people live here, so why not create an event for them?

     

    Also they do give a lot of events for the west coast, such as California.

     

    Well yeah there are...though that shouldnt really matter as as a reason for square enix to only have, what might be though i dont really know, one game release there and that's not the point I was trying to make, but anyway...how would you find out about the other events that they hold...if that's possible...

    I am a new fan to the series, finishing up the first game soon I think. I am so excited this is coming to Nintendo World! I am a 1.5 hour ride from the city, but I am going to take it (will be taking a crazy person 3:45am train!) I had this preordered on Amazon but I will cancel it if I get a copy on Saturday.

    People in line already? O.o I thought I was a big KH fan...

     

    Seriously? People are already lined up over there? My train is arriving in Penn Station at 5am, going to have a crazy night tonight. I thought I was nuts trying to get there so early. I didn't want to take the train arriving at 7am, thought it would be too late.

    Hm, with the way it's looking now, 5 am might still be a little late. It's crazy

    Holy shit, I really don't think it'll be that bad. (there's always these kind of locals, but they never get anymore bigger then they are at the start until the day of the event) I'm be there at around 7AM, I think I can get the MoM edition still by then (hopefully)

     

     

    I'm coming from Jersey too (South Jersey I presume with you)

    Hey whoever is going to go please take some pictures, and IF you can, make something that lets people know you are from kh13 like a sign or something that says "Everyone from form kh13.com here!"

    Judging by the Twitter photo, I expect a huge line going almost around the block before 9am. As for me, I'll walk inside and pick up posters and whatever else they will give out xP
