The popculture expo in Aus? You'll have a ball! It's great fun

I love how despite having a simplistic design it depicts the game and it's tagline so well. It has me curious as to what the exact circumstances of Sora falling into Darkness will be though.

I'll probably be sitting at home playing a game or something by myself. foreveralone.jpg

My reaction was being confused on so many levels. Having only played Kingdom Hearts 1 (till the end) beforehand and not CoM I had absolutely no idea who DiZ was at the time, and what the heck Ansem SoD was doing alive.

I dunno what you think, but 60 hours is a damn good amount of gameplay content if you're trying to 100% it, especially a DS game. But nope, I don't think this is the worst Kingdom Hearts, I enjoyed it alot. It felt like the original Kingdom Hearts mixed up a bit with Birth By Sleeps battle system and minigames, although it was missing a few things. I liked it more than Days, even though I did enjoy Days alot. Plot wise it definately was, but I think that was partly due to the episodic nature of the original coded, and them trying to leave the plot on a cliffhanger each episode and timing the ending a little after Birth By Sleep to tie in with it.

I'm always scared of death, because no one actually knows what's out there or what will happen after you die, so I'm scared of the unknown. I think I wouldn't be too worried if I died a natural death and satisfying lifetime though. However with that said I really would like to think of the afterlife as some of paradise where you go when life ends where you eventually meetup with lots of people that have also passed on, and your friends and family from the life you lived. I've always hated the concept of a afterlife where someone gets punished for what they did in their life and being made to suffer for their sins. There's also reincarnation. I love the idea that after your life you become someone else, but it's still you despite having nothing of you from your previous life.

I actually wouldn't be suprised if came to Europe, they always get special editions for games that the US never get.

Aye! It is

It really would depend on the release date of the game. If it was the same price everywhere and was taking awhile to release in Aus I'd probably buy the game from an online retailer and get it shipped here, if not I'd probably just grab it at my local gamestore.

Leon for sure! It's like Resident Evil 2 all over again. Looks like Dante from Devil May Cry now.

I only really buy used games when they're old ones and hard to find, along with being in decent condition. I also don't really think they hurt game developers much despite what people say, they already have had a sale from the used copy of the game in the first place, so I don't really consider them lost profit to the developers. For everything else I like to buy them new and unused because I like to try and keep my games as mint as I can for aslong as possible.

Whoa, they sold out quickly then!

I'll spoil myself as I always do, because if I don't I know something will always accidentally get spoiled for me while browsing the net anyway Good thing is though it'll be from myself playing the Japanese version and finding out the spoilers myself in the game, rather than on the net.

How'd you find this out? ._.

I'd love to see Square-Enix remake them on the 3DS, the DS remakes were really fun and enjoyable, and the thought of a VI remake with 3D models and environments makes me drool because of how amazing the original was, deserves one more than VII does. (imo)

I can't remember quite how long, but I'm prettysure the longest period I went without playing the series was about 2-3 years after Kingdom Hearts came out here. Then I saw Kingdom Hearts II at the local gaming shop and flipped, I was so excited to play a new entry in the Kingdom Hearts series after so long.

I think they'll put them in, if they put them in Birth By Sleep and Re:coded I don't see why they'd stop putting them in now. The only thing I hope is they give you a reward for them after you've got them. Don't get me wrong, I love collecting trophys on the PS3 and achivements on the 360, but getting a in-game reward with them I can use is just so much nicer, and motivates me more to collect them.

I'm predicting a little after June, E3 will give Square-Enix a oppunrtunity to show it off before it releases, and localization should be done around that time (it was said that localization was being done as they were developing the game, or more quicker this time at least)

I wasn't really sure where to stick this, but I suppose this section is most fitting. Looking at the latest Kingdom Hearts DDD trailer, and the fact that Apprentice Xehanorts past will be shown at some point in DDD I've been wondering, are Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep Volume 2 one game, and not separate like alot of us thought? We still haven't had a official announcement of BbSv2 yet, and that teaser was shown in BbS:FM in January, one would have thought it might have at least been mentioned at TGS this year, but nothing. There's things supporting them being one title and being separate games, but one that really really sticks out to me is DDD having the volume of a main title, as said by Nomura. When you look at how much ground was covered in Birth By Sleep, Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2 you have to wonder, would it all be able to fit into this one game? Anyway I made this thread purely because I wanted to hear everyone elses thoughts. What do you guys think? Are DDD and BbSv2 one in the same?

Wouldn't be TGS without a low quality Kingdom Hearts trailer leak, would it? The end was a neat surprise to me, because they're finally including that keyblade into the plot. It's a flashback, to when Xehanort was Ansems apprentice. It's his lab, if you freeze the scene and look close enough.

Yeah, the game just got announced, so it's still possible they will bring it to English regions. The blog didn't sound very reassuring, but to be fair Square-Enix Europe only really bring the games over from North America, so they might not be in the loop about an X localization just yet. It really seems silly not to localize it, and a bad marketing decision given the popularity of X.

Care to link me to where they said it on their site Sora? It seems really really odd that they wouldn't, especially when X has been popular in the Western world.

Don't worry, it'll show not long after TGS finishes, I'm sure! Square-Enix, or Nomura, I can't remember who said they want to get the trailers out on the internet as soon as they can after events. (not the direct quote, but it was like that) so they'll most likely upload a Hd version not long after TGS finishes. ^^ It is a bit strange though, I'm so used to them getting leaked from TGS each year, and then eventually surfacing on the internet in High Quality.

100% happy. I came in expecting a revision to the hardware, with a second circle pad and I finished watching the conference happy with what I wanted, which was more game announcements for the system. Fire Emblem and Mario Tennis is more than enough to leave me excited, the trailers for Skyward Sword and Four Swords added onto my excitement and being satisfied with it. ......that Monster Hunter commercial after the conference on the stream was weird though, GATCHA MAN!

The Tokyo Game Show is a Game show (by show, I don't mean TV show, I mean it's a showcase of them at the event), with lots of venues for new games and whatnot in Japan, so it's a bit difficult to stream it. There's conferences there, but the Sony and Nintendo ones (which were the only two streamed online that I know of) have ended. I'm sure KH13 will be sure to have all the latest Kingdom Hearts info from the show as quick as possible though!
