Actually there was a pin. 1.5 Got a pin but only at a limited time event at Disney Parks. the special edition had an art book 2.5 special edition got the pin collectors edition with both games got a pin and an art book and a steenbok and heartless plushie 1.8 got a pin and so di 1.5 + 2.5

I agree. It's a strong medal and one of those deals worth pulling. If you really want to invest medals, save up for those guaranteed events and plan on sinking the full amount of medals for the 10 pulls.

I think it's ridiculous they have not revealed any new information in over a year. I hate that they planned on combining the teams working on FFXV and KHIII after completion of FF but they just started with FFVII Remake. There is absolutely no justification for this. It feels like they are screwing over the KH community on purpose. "Strong presence" like the two short trailers in 2015? One not even displayed to the public like ever? If one thing is sure, they need to open up and start communicating. If not, the project will either never be finished or the fanbase will abandon the project.

Be careful though. As with all things gambling, the relative probability of you getting the medal within less than 5 draws is so tiny. They want to make money off it after all. I think, deals like this one should be illegal, it's too close to real gambling and a dangerous marketing method targeting kids.

They confirmed last year that the whole franchise is owned completely by Disney. So the whole game, including story, all video and music material, even KH specific designs and costumes for Final Fantasy characters, belongs to Disney. Disney has the right to work with all their own and the original characters within and outside the Kingdom Hearts franchise because they have full ownership. They could make a movie, for example, without Square Enix's permission or participation. In fact, it is surprising all the existing products are a thing because they have to be licensed and approved by Disney. I wonder what would happen if Disney really worked on a project without Square. Sounds like an interesting concept.

Sadly, I think at this point they have already killed the franchise. The unnecessary delay of 2.8 and the short length, the poor quality releases of 1.5 + 2.5 and the absolute screw-up on 3 are too much. The length and complicated storyline rendered the whole saga inaccessible to newcomers and pissed off fans. Unchained is only a cash-grab and the story is too long. No one is going to sit through hundreds of filler missions at this point. Also, Disney themselves have given up on the series and don't support it at all. There's also YenPress and their pathetic releases of the manga and novel series. Oh well, we might as well hold on to the original copy for PS2 and pretend the rest never happened. Therefore, Happy Birthday, Kingdom Hearts and RIP.

Unfortunately, YenPress never released the novel scheduled for release last Tuesday. The older releases are sadly also full of editing arrows that have never been fixed since December. Some retailers are missing entire volumes and blame YenPress for the sloppy handling. Please help spread the word and let YenPress know that they need to step up their game with Kingsom Hearts releases. It would be great if all the Kingdom Hearts Manga and Novel releases were available digitally.

I noticed that YenPress is not really doing a good robin publishing the Kingdom Hearts manga and novel series. While it is great that they do publish the books in the first place, I wish they would treat the series with more respect. In the print versions they did not print any of the color pages that were supposed to come with the books. They recently released electronic versions of the manga series in December. However, these releases were full of editing errors, distorted images and wrong formatting. Comixology is the only portal that allows a full read of all the books. Amazon Kindle is still missing images in their versions and iBooks -to this day- is missing volume 2 of the Days series while all other books are available. The first novel had a scheduled release this week but never appeared on any of the announced platforms or providers. Future manga and novel releases are scheduled but with the current treatment YenPress is giving the series, I am concerned we might never see any more publication in the series. I tried to contact Amazon, Comixology and iTunes on the matter but they say that it is up to YenPress to fix the issues and rerelease the missing volumes. I sent countless emails to YenPress and their press count and contacted them through social media but have not received a single response. Is there any way we could contact YenPress through a post on this site or a tweet or something to draw attention to the lack of respect and quality YenPress is delivering? I am sick paying full prize for half-hearted releases. I wish Disney could publish the series directly through their own publication media but Disney is still not sure how to treat Kingdom Hearts (as even a digital release of the original soundtracks is out of the question at this point, as I inquired through Walt Disney Records). Any thoughts on this?

I am hoping for an option to turn off the subtitles, as all PS4 games have that option.

I thought it was more like he just opened the gate for them to pass into the outer realm. From there they can still go through certain paths and routes before they arrive at the next world. Remember in KH2, Sora also unlocked the gate that was blocking the path before they went through the passage. The mini games in the first game had us travel to the worlds directly whereas in KH2, the mini games took place in the passages and lanes between the worlds. We more or less entered the worlds directly but had to make it through the obstacles blocking the way. So, I think there will still be similar gummy ship travel mini games in KH3.

Following the digital release of the Kingdom Hearts Manga series on several online retailers in December, I noticed that there are several issues with some of the Volumes. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Volume 2 is in a wrong format. Pages are cropped, cut off or distorted. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Volume 2 is missing artwork on some retailers, the volume is missing completely from the iBooks store. With releases of the rest of the Manga volumes and the Novel series in both digital and print editions coming up this year, I am concerned about the quality of those releases. As this seems like an easy fix for the publishers, does anyone know how contact Yen Press about the errors in these editions? I tried sending an email to their Press inquiries and tweeting several times but no response, unfortunately. Has anyone been able to locate corrected versions of those two volumes? I would love to continue reading the 358/2 Days manga and I would hate to skip the second volume. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone. I've been following this page for a while, it's really great and has all the news on KH! Finally, I decided to become a forum member, so I'm looking forward for a great time here. Nice to meet y'all. For this post, I was thinking about something cool: With the recent iOS update (10), Disney has been quite active in offering Sticker packs for the new iMessage Apps features. There's some really cool animated Mickey and Friends and also some movie-specific packs, and even Marvel and Star Wars ones. I was thinking, it would be SO cool if Disney made a Kingdom Hearts sticker pack! As they have done one on the LINE messaging app before it's not totally unlikely. And for those who think it wouldn't be reductive for them to offer a free or $2 app for Apple - they could easily offer a single add-on or separate app for Android without any additional efforts. I already tried tweeting about it and sending support messages to Disney and Square. Do you have any ideas how we could spread the word? Maybe a petition or something similar? I think it would be a great opportunity to promote the upcoming Kingdom Hearts games, introduce KH to a wider audience, attract new fans and build on the KH property - especially now that Disney Infinity has been cancelled. As Disney own all the rights completely, they could most easily do that (the LINE stickers were made by Disney Japan). It would be awesome if we could let Disney know that KH is a loved and anticipated series! Let me know if you'd be interested in KH stickers in the comments and all your ideas. Again, pleasure to meet you all. Cheers EDIT: I added screenshots of the LINE stickers. Maybe we're able to get those in iMessage or maybe even something GIF based or maybe Unchained Chi style (as Disney really loves cutesy stylized art at the moment).
