Those fully-voiced cutscenes for 358/2 Days, are you able to look at one cutscene at a time or what?

You can. It's called the chapter option.

Hey guys, I received the game yesterday but i was unable to find how to change to voices to English for final mix. I remember pretty clearly that a couple months ago, they said that you could change the voices from japanese to English on Final mix. Has anyone been able to do so?

That was a mistranslation.

 

Also, where are the CoM screenshots from? Is anyone actually doing/streaming that? Everyone's going for either FM or Days.

I noticed they seem to be including Days keyblades now too...that's Maverick Flare, for those who don't know.

 

EDIT: and some more from @bKvEBVAvUq

 

Total Eclipse (トータルエクリプス)

Two Become One (めぐりあう二人 "Serendipitous Duo") (I get annoyed when people mistranslate the literal Japanese)

aka the Keyblade you get when you beat Roxas in 2FM

Where do the 358/2 keys appear? In the key to rewards or normal calm bounties? I know you have to watch Days at least.

Well we don't "for sure" know yet. All we know are the images from

and this:

 

It appears that you can unlock a brand new Keyblade card in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memoriesafter watching all of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

 

 

My guess is you probably can get them in bounty rooms as with the Riku cards you get on Sora's story once you finish Riku's story.

I watched a KH1FMHD ReMIX stream on The_otaku_gamer twitch stream, he already did the Hollow Bastion first visit, he's almost done. He threw his controller a few times and a few of the people on the stream and I called it Newsflahs: Otaku ragequits by throwing the controller!

Actually, I think I figured it out. I'm almost 100% sure the Days keyblades replace the KH2 keyblades. The pics show there are 23 keyblades. I just checked my finished game and there are 23 keys there too. The stats match up well too. Maverick Flare is a re-skinned Hidden Dragon, Midnight Roar is Follow the Wind and Total Eclipse is Monochrome. Two Become One has unique stats however. If I am right, there are 2 more days keyblades not found yet.

yeah, that was revealed on another kh site. Some people are pretty dissapointed they got rid of the kh2 keyblades as the days ones are pretty generic most of the time. but when the others are found I'm sure bKvEBVAvUq will have some pics up :)

Cyberman65 is doing his KH 1 Level 1 run on twitch:

 

http://www.twitch.tv/cyberman6

 

Its live right now.

 

He's doing a speedrun. And you don't get Scan for this run.

 

 

EDIT: Wow, SQAURE DID NOT EVEN TEST OUT LEVEL 1 RUN ON PROUD, ITS STUPIDLY HARD. ITS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

 

Don't attempt it on Proud, watch Cyberman's video and you'll see what i mean. By Halloween town he died 28 times.

 

They don't give you Scan, or second chance, or Strike Raid, or any Stat buffs like in KH2FM. You stay will Level 1 stats and abilities for most of the game(The only abilities you get are the ones given to you, not the ones you get from leveling up)

EDIT: Started streaming a while ago, at Traverse Town now.
