  1. Looks like they changed the steelbook design slightly, something seemed off compared to what I remembered it looking in the promo images, unless they edited the promo images a lot in comparison to the actual product. They brightened the grey squares on the design quite a bit based on that photo, unless it's a lighting thing... I honestly preferred the original design in the promo images but I guess making the squares more apparent gives the design more of a plaid look that's more similar to the plaid designs embedded in the trio's new outfits. For comparison, here's the original image of the steelbook:
  2. If you're looking for a better quality preview with those extra lines, iTunes Japan Store previews for the Japanese and English versions of Face My Fears includes them - full 1:30 previews. Too bad there's no way to rip previews from the iTunes Store...
  3. At this rate, I have a feeling they're still rolling out the preorder bonuses, which is a bit late to announce them imo. I believe some European countries have the yo-yo preorder bonus though that isn't available in US/Canada or Japan. So there are some exclusives to Europe. These postcards though are pretty sub-par for preorder bonuses in comparison to what Japan gets. Japan gets a lot of original preorder bonuses, like the 7Net Keychain with a chibi Sora in his KH3 outfit or the Integrum Masterpiece collection (which is technically a preorder exclusive) vs. the Gamestop/EB Games poster and these Walmart postcards we're getting in US/Canada of rehashed renders. I would much rather get artwork from Tetsuya Nomura on those postcards than these renders I'll be seeing a lot of when I play the game... Same comment I made about the Gamestop/EB Games poster...
  4. If anyone outside of Japan wants to preorder this (as the Japan Square Enix e-Store only accepts Japanese credit cards), it is also available on Amazon Japan right now and will most likely be made available to other stores that ship internationally. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/475756001X/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1544724503&sr=8-14&keywords=キングダムハーツ+アルティマニア Love that cover artwork though, really wish that original t-shirt with this same design from TGS was made publicly available for purchase.
  5. On a positive note for North America, this could potentially be good news, since that means there's still a chance we'll get the PS4 Pro if China/Taiwan's online preorders start on January 4th. Of course, there's still the possibility that the Amazon Black Friday announcement could be the Limited Edition PS4 Pro, but I'm not holding my hopes high for that.
  6. I hope Mandy Moore comes back to voice Rapunzel. I've been curious as to why they have yet to show any of the English voice acting, especially around Rapunzel, as there were so many opportunities to. I'm so glad there's so many original voice actors reprising their roles as well. We basically have the complete Frozen cast - makes me wonder if there will be any singing in the Frozen cutscenes, as it would be a partial waste not to have Idina Menzel sing something lol. I also hope that they find a way to bring Hayden Panettiere back for Kairi. It's such a shame... she will always be the original Kairi voice actress. Same with Brittany Snow for Namine, but since Namine hasnt been as prevalent in the games following KH2, I haven't minded having Meaghan Jette Martin as much. Alyson Stoner though, I will always associate with as Xion.
  7. I hope this doesn't mean the west gets the Slim version only. The Pro makes it so much more worth buying... The last time a KH-themed PS4 Slim came out, it was only for Japan, so here's hoping they at least keep to that trend, but give us the Pro...
  8. So every one of those links says the console's sold out lol. So they are not still taking online preorders. The only places in Japan that have it available are either with re-sellers or on auction sites, which are also re-sellers basically. So in the list in the post for example, Yamada Web (ヤマダウェブ) and Yahoo Shopping (Yahoo!ショッピング) are sites that allow re-sellers to put up products, similar to how Amazon has a Marketplace (even in Japan). That's why there's an incredible markup on the PS4 Pro on those sites, which are the only ones that still list it as "available". In all honesty, the PS4 Pros were gone pretty much the instant they went up on Japanese retailers' sites. Don't mean to be cheeky, but I'd rather this post be retitled to not give people false hope. That may be a list of retailers that carried the PS4 Pro, but they haven't had any stock of it for quite a while now. The PS4 Pros were also not just available by lottery system in Japan. Amazon JP, for example, sold them without a lottery system, which is why they were pretty much one of the first retailers to sell out of the PS4 Pro. From what I saw, the JP Square Enix Store was one of the remaining retailers that still had units almost a month after they went up, but they were selling by lottery. They too are now out of stock though.
  9. Dittoing a comment earlier about continuity with Zootopia - I would love for the creators to address the origins of Zootopia and the possibility of humans in that world and what happened to them, which I feel could be explored in a TV show format with multiple villains / suspects leading to a grander scheme much like the movie. It would add a whole new level of depth to the Zootopia story imo. There's not many cartoons these days that have a more mature appeal, like Avatar or Young Justice or Teen Titans (before Teen Titans Go). Even an Adventure Time twist to the Zootopia story would make it far more interesting. The Incredibles I can see getting a TV show as well, there's so much left unsaid that can be filled in with TV episodes. Even the history of all the heroes and how they got to be so famous. Even Inside Out could get a TV show imo. It's definitely a formula that can be transferred to any person or character.
  10. I said this on the KH reddit, but something simple like the trio on a black background would've been good enough. Taking someone else's suggestion as well, the box art might be good too, assuming it is a drawing by Nomura. Either of those would be better than the 3 designs we are choosing between... the posters make it seem like we play KH because we like Woody, Olaf, or Mike/Sully more than Sora, Donald and Goofy... Literally, all I see in the Frozen poster is Olaf... "where are Sora, Donald, and Goo--- oh they're shoved at the bottom, didn't even see 'em. Thought they were Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff"
  11. Your best bet is to contact Square Enix Support. That happened to me once, and I tried calling Apple Support. They gave me a refund because it was the first time this had ever happened, but they said protocol is usually to call Square Enix Support first, and having them contact Apple Support to issue a refund. I also had a really nice person at Apple Support help me, not sure if this first time refund will always happen... In your case though, you'll probably need to contact both to get access to the VIP extras this week and to get a refund for the double payment. Hope that helps!
  12. The figures only come with a "physical" deluxe, you don't get a digital version with the Deluxe Edition + Bring Arts Figures bundle from the Square Enix Store. You are right about the PS4 theme ("Impossible Odds") being digital exclusive. As of now, it is confirmed to only come with preordering KH3 on the PSN or the All-In-One Package on the PSN.
  13. At this stage, Square Enix could technically do anything lol. But I doubt they would sell a different Collector's Edition further down this year before the game's release. It would be a case of terrible marketing imo. They still have the details from the LE PS4 Pro to release, which I don't think would fair well with fans (or their wallets) if they also dropped a separate Collector's Edition then. I suppose their naming it the "Deluxe Edition + Bring Arts Figures" bundle could partly be wanting to be transparent about its contents, so as to not create as much of a demand from scalpers perhaps, as the naming I feel speaks more to true collectors of the series rather than anyone buying it for the sake of it being called a "Collector's Edition". Might help to regulate demand too, since there isnt that same hype of having to pursue a "Collector's Edition" vs. thinking back to the hype from the preorder fiasco of the Ultimate Collector's Edition of FFXV was. The naming could also be a marketing tactic to promote the Bring Arts figures, since they seem to be releasing a lot of those lately. All speculation though.
  14. Well, I get that animation costs money lol which is why I guess I was hoping to see the opening video for KH3, since that's not extra material, but we are still 7 months away from the game's release and I'm sure they're either saving that closer to the release date or not revealing it at all til the game's release, so it was more of a fat dream. To me, I'm pretty impartial about the release of these videos now that I've seen them, since I've played all the games up to KH3, and recently too. If anything, these videos are most valuable for new entrants to the series, people who need blanks in the series filled, or anyone who hasn't played the games in a while. But in a way, the opening videos are pretty much recaps. KH2's opening was a recap of KH1 and KH:CoM, DDD's opening was a recap of everything pretty much up to DDD. Just not as literal vs. having Chirithy narrate, but they did the job too artistically. Guess that's why I held on hope of Square Enix releasing the opening, before these videos got released. I'm also suspecting they're waiting for Hikaru Utada's album to release so the theme song "Chikai" isn't spoiled before her album drops.
  15. I think I set my hopes too high for these, was expecting a bit of new animation, but they really are just recap videos - snippets from cutscenes slapped together with a new voice recording from Chirithy. Guess that means we still have a CGI opening video perhaps to look forward to for KH3 that's separate from these recap videos.
  16. Not to be the skeptic here, but regarding the new princesses, the translation read "There are 6 missing candidates; Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa and more are being targeted for that purpose." That doesn't necessarily mean they're all princesses of light. Just like Wendy was targeted originally, but then found to not be a princess of light, it is possible any of the 3 princesses mentioned may not be a princess of light. In terms of Let It Go being in KH, I'm not surprised at the addition of music. It seems Rapunzel's world may have some of that too based on the footage seen at the town square. I also have a suspicion they may have found Mandy Moore to voice her again, which is why we didn't hear any of her voice in the trailers - probably because it would be too expensive perhaps to show it? Either that, or they found a new voice actress and wanted to omit an uproar from anyone finding out and not liking it lol.
  17. For Aqua-nort being potentially rescued, I think Nomura meant that if you fail to save her, that means you died and need to try again lol. Even though Nomura had said there's less of a need for FF characters now in KH, I'd like to see KH introduce FF characters differently, aside from them either living on Destiny Islands, in Radiant Garden or being summoned by Hades. i.e. How did Zack come to be in Olympus Coliseum?! It's just getting a little cliche, they should create an FF-only world. As much as KH is Disney, it is also Square Enix, that's something the studio should consider.
  18. As of the Square Enix Presents showcase on June 14th, there has been no reveals on more information regarding the Limited Edition PS4 Pro. Questions were directly asked about it on the feed during the live showcase, and the presenters on the show mentioned that those questions were taboo currently and could not be answered at the moment.
  19. Yes, I plan to update it as more release info comes out. I'm on the lookout for the PS4 Pro as well, so I'll be sure to update the post when there's news.
  20. I created a post on the KH Reddit and thought I'd repost it here if anyone was still confused about all the options they have to purchase the game. I think it's at a stage where I've covered everything we know, but feel free to reply on any mistakes or new details I haven't caught on yet, and I'll change this first post.

  21. Just to clarify, for Japan, the physical version of the All-In-One bundle is only available through the Square Enix e-STORE. It is, in fact, a Square Enix e-STORE exclusive. http://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/SE_E1474.html Those Japan pre-order bonuses listed above are for any version of the game bought at those stores, with exception to that All-In-One physical bundle.

  22. I would think they'd sell this in the Americas as well, given they showcased it at E3 vs. Tokyo Game Show. The questions are when, where, and for how much?
  23. i wonder if there's gonna be an Ultimate Collector's Edition? I got the deluxe edition with the figures, which is basically like a UCE, but it just seems like they missed out on a huge marketing opportunity here imo lol... although I would not want them to milk the fans at all cuz my wallet's looking pretty hollow right now too lol
  24. im really curious to see whether this will be played as an opening or a closing. And if there are both an opening and a closing theme, what would the other version of this song sound like? This new 43 second preview clearly indicates that the song builds up to something, especially from the initial preview we got, and it's no longer the quiet / soft ballad everyone probably thought it was. I pointed out in another forum, but in the last 10 seconds of this preview, you can hear a synth bass that suggests the song might turn into something more electronic sounding or catchy/dance-y at the end. I could be going on a complete whim here though. So then I'm starting to think this could be used as the opening instead, which makes me question what kinda sound the other version of this song would be. Quieter, like the "after the battle" version of Passion? Or maybe uplifting as in a dance remix, like the "Planitb Remix" of Hikari, to end on a high note? Possibilities are endless lol...
  25. Someone pointed out apparently Sora's voiceover on the in-field actions were the same as the ones used in Dream Drop Distance. So they may have yet to reveal how the KH3 voice over actually sounds for in-field actions. But I'm glad they've finally revealed some English voice acting for the cutscenes
