All the good stuff happens in California!  Why doesn't Quinton Flynn ever come to New Mexico.

I'll probably be gone for about a week once the game launches so even if I would live nearby, no one would probably be able to drag me out of the cave that my apartment will turn into.

I think it's a nice little idea though and not the worst marketing technique for the store.

I hear that. Personally I'm staying off the internet (or most of it) a week before the Japanese release, and spending a few before that blocking every videogame and KH video on Youtube so NOTHING KH comes up in my recommended videos.

Yeah, I will probably resort to those drastic measures as well. I can't stay off of Youtube but I can at least blacklist some words. I'm not too worried about my Twitter since I don't follow many people and those I do follow wouldn't spoil anything. And I have to click a link for pictures on my old phone, so the risk is fairly low if I don't search for KH.

The things I'm most worried about are YouTube and Tumblr because of all the recommended stuff. Sometimes people don't name and tag their stuff appropriately so there's no guarantee nothing will slip through the cracks. Saw that with 0.2 already and it might be infinitely worse for KH3. So I'll just avoid Tumblr altogether.

I'm not too worried about this website since the moderators usually keep a good eye on potential spoilers. Of course it's not impossible for something to surface in-between, but it's better monitored than an open and gigantic website.

4chan and Reddit as well as Facebook aren't my thing and I placed a no spoiler policy on my KHUx party due to the wishes of my party members. 

I guess that means we're as well prepared as one can be without completely going dark. I unfortunately can't afford that so I just hope it'll be enough.

It's usually not such a big deal for me when it comes to other games but it will be the last time for quite a while until we get to experience another KH for the first time again and I don't want my friend and I to know all the twists and turns before we start our adventure.

I'm fairly certain we can expect the first leaks to pop up at least a week before release. Though it's probably wiser to do it like yourself and watch out several weeks in advance. Even though the most recent one was 99% fake from what I heard, there's no telling when the next one will come after seeing the reaction from the fans and whether it'll be real this time. I know some laugh about that but it happens fairly often that things get leaked so I can't blame fans for being cautious.

Man, I wish I lived in California. Quinton Flynn is on top of the list of voice actors that I want to meet one day!
