Square Enix HAS NO REASON to release the game in September.

[Sora2 84]

Its because nomura loves firetrucking anyone who is not japanese or lives in japan

[Aru Akise 2,540]

Does "Trollmura" mean anything to you all?

 

Regardless of jokes, that is how business works. Bedises, if it were released early and had some bugs, everyone would be complaining.

 

Deal with it.

[King.Mickey 359]

The wait for 2.5 next year is probably going to be even worse. Watch, Japan's going to get it in March and we'll get it in like November.

[SHAZOW 269]

Because Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is all in Japanese. So of course japan will get it first.

 

Also you never know, maybe Square Enix will release closer to Japan's release date than 1.5.

or international release

Exactly, it all depends on Square Enix's decision.

[JJForever 75]

They're releasing it the same month as GTA 5. No more than a week apart actually. If they expect new players to the series to pick up the game over GTA 5 within the first week that it's first released, then they must be kidding themselves. Only the fans who already know about KH have pre-ordered it.

 

So, someone goes into a Gamespot with 60 bucks to spend. Has never played Kingdom Hearts. It looks pretty cool, has maybe heard a lot about it. Then they see GTA. Now most EVERYONE has played at least one GTA. What's he going to buy? Even with 1.5 being 20 dollars cheaper. Those are my thoughts.

 

They know what to expect with with GTA 5. Picking up a new game that they haven't played over something that has been great for a long long time would be questionable for anyone in that situation.

[xoblivionx13 1,133]

I'm probably repeating what everyone else said, but the entire project may not be completely finished. Since there's 2 games and 2 hours (or maybe just 1...I forget) of cutscenes (Days), they probably want to make sure everything is working, nothing is missing, stuff like that. I'd rather wait and have an amazing game experience than have the game as soon as possible with bugs and such.

[Funny2never 3]

They have to re-record all the scenes from days due to the bad voice quality of the ds

[SHAZOW 269]

I heard they increased the ammount of polygons. Polygons make the game and look more sharper/better.

From this video, it seems that they've already translated most of the game. Both KHFM and Re:COM. And 358/2 Days has been show to have been dubbed as early as January, meaning they're probably ALREADY DONE WITH IT BY NOW. And in both games, its been shown that the characters already have their English battle quotes and in cutscenes as well. The game is PRACTICALLY FINISHED NOW. But, its still being released in SEPTEMBER. WTF?

 

WHY NOT IN SUMMER? IT HAS NO REASON TO COME OUT IN 4 MONTHS, WHEN THE GAME CAN EASILY COME OUT IN JULY, OR AUGUST!!! But no. Square keeps trolling us, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Im going to have a boring summer now since i cant play this, and worse, THIS COMES OUT BY THE TIME MOST OF US WILL START THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR, GIVING US NO TIME AT ALL TO PLAY IT. Square Enix is making a decision that is really pissing me off. AND FOR NO GOOD REASON. ITS AN HD REMASTER, NOT A NEW GAME, GIVE IT TO US ALREADY. :angry:

Im pretty sure that for hardcore, diehard, and even casual kingdom hearts fans that no matter when it comes out they'll jump at the chance to buy it and say, "F@^$ school, f%#^ my grades, f(* everything. I just got kingdom hearts. I'm playing this nonstop and I don't care what anyone says." That's my take on it. Plus Square Enix overloard is all like, "Mwahahhaha those lousy people in foreign countries should be grateful they are getting it. Mwahahaha to increase rage I shall prolong the coming of this new game." (Evil crew of subordinates maniacally laugh as they read our rage comments). Quit the hate and lets stick it to those evil people in Square Enix by showing them that the release of the game 5 months later shall not anger us! 

[EternalChange 303]

Could be that they're still printing the game onto PS3 disks, seeing how popular this could/would be. Could be that there have been some issues in Testura Nomura's life, and he can't deal with the stresses of a release date until the fall. Could be that the crew is taking a little vacay. Or best yet...could be that they're working---RIGHT NOW---on Kingdom Hearts 3.

 

Patience now, my friend---it's a virtue.

[Isamu Kuno 2,512]

Private video.

[J. Severe 1,137]

Of course they don't. No one's going to tell them not to though.

[Hooserdaddy45 5]

It was released in March in japan because kingdom hearts originally came out in March. The international version came out in September, that's why we get this game in September

That was me when KH 2 came out. Played it nonstop until I beat it, and then some.

[NO_HEART_XIII 312]

I agree with you, but maybe it's just not ready. If it is ready, it'd be best to release it now. A lot of pretty big games are coming out in the Fall (I think) & even though I'd choose KH over them any day, I can't speak for everyone else. They've got my money no matter when they release it. lol.

[SHAZOW 269]

Remember Square Enix's statement?

 

"Kingdom Hearts 1 was created a long, long time ago, so actually the original data was missing already," he explained. "It was lost, so we had to research, and we had to dig out from the actual game what was available and recreate everything for HD. We had to recreate all the graphics and it was actually not that easy."

 

A statement IGN made in the article:

 

Quote

"So instead of being able to work off the original master assets that were created, the company had to recreate pretty much everything from scratch again."

[Hero of Winds 2,576]

It's more than just dubbing and translation that they had to work on.They had plenty reasons for it's September release.

Yeah, I can't even get my pre-order bonuses anymore because of how late they are releasing it.  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

 

My dad lost his job yesterday, so we have to move out of state on the 7th and I have to cancel my preorder, and I most likely won't get the artbook or theme now.  :x  :x  :x  :angry:

[Nermin Colakovic 61]

It's funny how people forget that marketing, localizing etc. is also a part of launching your game hehe

[jorrell3946 70]

This the first new Kingdom Hearts game for home consoles to come out since KH2. And KH3 is going to be the first numbered sequel to come out since KH2.
