EaglesFan887 11 Posted January 5, 2010 Do you know anytime when a north america release will be? Or wat do u think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DChiuch 5,773 Posted January 5, 2010 North America release will be around the middle of May. There's no official announcement yet. As for the characters, I was thinking Ven --> Aqua --> Terra. But if you think otherwise, I'd like to hear it. My reasoning is that Ven will probably me the most interesting, because: - He's connected to Roxas/Sora somehow - He has a lot to do with Vanitas, and confronts him at one point - He's the only one we know that definitely meets Lea and Isa, and I'm guessing people will want to see that - Nomura says Ven has the easiest playing style, so I can probably finish his story the fastest. I wasn't sure who I'd pick second, but I'm guessing Aqua instead of Terra. I decided this because Nomura wants her to be played last, and Terra first, so I'm guessing Aqua's story reveals a lot more. Also, her armor ends up with Xemnas, and her story also seems to be tied with Vanitas' a lot. I said Terra last, because his story seems kinda obvious from the start. Similar to Riku, he experiments with darkness, etc etc, meets Maleficent, and later uses darkness against Master Xehanort in the final battle, probably merging with him in some way. But yeah, I was thinking Ven --> Aqua --> Terra, or maybe Terra before Aqua. Who disagrees and why? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EaglesFan887 11 Posted January 5, 2010 I'm not sure yet. I would to do noruma's reccomendation of terra-ven-aqua, but I don't know. Ven sounds pretty cool. I might do ven- terra-aqua. But most likely terraa-ven-and aqua Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sullen Dystopia 0 Posted January 5, 2010 i will have to wait even longer for the european release, but i will probably play terra-ven-aqua suggestion by nomura. i may also stay away from this topic on this website until i get it. (I just dont want ANY spoilers hehe) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masgrande 16 Posted January 5, 2010 You should probably follow Nomura's order because it seems the story will make more sense that way but like Nomura said it is the players choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, I was thinking Ven --> Aqua --> Terra, or maybe Terra before Aqua. Who disagrees and why? Bro, I think you should do it in that order also. Not only because It's "your" choice, but because It's actually the most important. I will be playing as Ven first when I get it also, because like you said, he is linked to Sora, and Riku in someway. Aqua is seen as less important then the 3. Why? This woman is part of the Gathering, she helps fight along side Terra, and Ventus in the middle of a war. Then she just vanishes?! No sir, her story might lead a few eyes to be opened up. Terra's story is in a war now between first, and second place in importantcy. I'm 99.9% sure I already now how his story ends though. I think all of us do. Play the characters in the order you choose man, again, I wont miss a freaking minute of it! by the way, KenjiShiranui ;AIM; sup bro, lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luai123 0 Posted January 5, 2010 I want to ask , do you think i should get the Japanese version or just wait for the English one and if the north america release in on middle of may ( at least we think that ) when will it be at Asia estimated at least ??

Rue 3 Posted January 5, 2010 idk,maybe try doing the Nurmana way? like Terra,Ven,Aqua. Or if you want "speed" then Ven, Terra,and Aqua...idk...whatever you think would work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadshot 666 Posted January 5, 2010 i think you should do it your way or go in Nomura's order Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaiso 2,764 Posted January 6, 2010 I actually have to agree with you and ramXcus. VAT is my first choice, but TAV is my second choice in order. besides, the woman is always in the middle. /shot Ventus really does seem like the one to me to play as first. You can get him done quicker supposedly, and he seems like he might answer a but more questions and his link to Sora seems interesting. o-o; Being female, I support playing Aqua second. I actually think her story might be the one of the more interesting ones, and one that seems to be more of a mystery. Besides, a female hero is just too bad ass. <3 I really don't want her to be last. D; I'd rather it be Terra or Ven to be honest. Terra's story does seem a tad predictable to me. While Nomura said to go as him first, I personally don't really care. Most people can guess how most of his story will play out. Besides, I feel that the other two just have a bit more interesting qualities to their mysterious storylines/etc. I mean, you could save save Ventus for last, drawing suspense to the more mysterious character (or more interesting for that matter... >.>) for the very end, but eh.. I mean, no matter what you will choose I'm still going to spoil myself by watching it all. o-o; I can't wait for the cutscenes too to use in AMV's... <3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CardCaptorDeadpool 386 Posted January 6, 2010 i will have to wait even longer for the european release, but i will probably play terra-ven-aqua suggestion by nomura. i may also stay away from this topic on this website until i get it. (I just dont want ANY spoilers hehe) Something tells me you'd just have to wait a week or two after America, sinnce recently they've been keeping the releases outside Japan relatively close for example when Dissidia Final Fantasy and Days came out the European release was less than two weeks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
