Green Sparrow 795 Posted May 9, 2014 We're just a little ways into May, but let us take a look back on all of the Kingdom Hearts craziness we've gotten so far this year:January-Haley Joel Osment CONFIRMS that he has talked with Square Enix and hopes to return as Sora for Kingdom Hearts III.-A vague bit of dialogue reveals a loose connection between Kingdom Hearts III and Japan exclusive Kingdom Hearts X.-Nomura mentions how difficult it is to develop for PS4, since so much can be accomplished.February-Square Enix confirms Kingdom Hearts III will not be releasing in 2014.-Shinji Hashimoto attends Japan's PS4 Launch event to ask everyone to "please wait a little longer" for Kingdom Hearts III.March-Kingdom Hearts card case revealed.-Square Enix conducts a "Kingdom Hearts Players Survey".-Kingdom Hearts II rubber straps revealed.-Additional voice recording for Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMix has been completed.-Nomura has adopted a cat.-Vector to the Heavens and Dearly Beloved tracks confirmed for "memoria!" album.-Yosuke Matsuda thinks Square Enix will be able to share Kingdom Hearts III information at E3.April-Editing for Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMix has finished and Shinji Hashimoto believes information concerning the title should be coming "soon".-Japanese Xbox website devotes page to Kingdom Hearts III under the games that are soon to come.I'm sorry, but this is just a pathetic amount of news. This is not a slam on this site, but on Square Enix. Any decent bit of decent news had to be asked, "Official Square Enix News" only concerns pushing merchandise, and many of their usual "soon" promises filled these first four months of the year. Kingdom Hearts is their 2nd most profitable franchise, the series has two games in the pipeline (three if you count Kingdom Hearts X), and we have received nothing substantial at all so far. I don't care if you want to focus the spotlight on games currently releasing, or if this is some part of a master marketing strategy, Kingdom Hearts is its own series, and Square is leaving its fan base high and dry with nothing to go on. Get your act together Square Enix.Okay, venting over. Can't wait for E3!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 3 143436611Xxcc, Kittenz and Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted May 9, 2014 We've really had nothing that big so far, and we're almost halfway into the year. -_- I honestly stopped being super crazy excited for 2.5 just because they're not saying anything about it (That and I still need a PS3, but eh). 2 MythrilMagician and 143436611Xxcc reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittenz 4,281 Posted May 9, 2014 I know. I think they could at least release more play arts figures, because we still don't have many of the characters, like Aqua, or Xion, and we only have Kairi in her school uniform, when Sora got all of his drive forms as different figures except for anti-form. And they just released star-trek play arts. Dafauq 1 143436611Xxcc reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They really shouldn't take that long of a time with 2.5 HD since the amount of cutscenes to deal with in Re:Coded are way less than 3582 days With that said though,I've replayed KH2 and the Japanese KH2FM over 10 times on my Ps2 so I'm not in a hurry nor in a hype either 3 Kittenz, 143436611Xxcc and Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Square's been getting way lazier over the years, which is really frustrating. "Please be excited" and "Please wait a little longer" aren't real excuses to just not want to say anything about your games. I mean, companies like Nintendo or Game Freak have constant updates about their games, and it just makes fans MORE excited. Why Square doesn't do the same thing is beyond me. Not to mention, I seem to remember them having a lot more updates for 1.5 than we've seen for 2.5... I haven't played the FM versions of KHII or BBS yet, so that's the main reason why I'm looking forward to 2.5. Of course, like I said earlier, I'm not even that excited anymore since Square's neglecting the KH fans at this point... 2 Green Sparrow and Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly,even though each Smash game is one gen away from the other,when a Smash game is announced Sakurai keeps on updating us constantly,this is why the wait for Brawl and for Smash 4 was actually bearable and more exciting,GameFreak and the Pokemon Company gives us a lot of detail about the main Pokemon games when they're announced heck the hype for X&Y last year was freakin unreal man. Here,Square announces a game 8 years before it's release and all of what we've seen is very very very very few trailers and a couple of screenshots......that's it,with "Please Be Excited" and "Please wait a little longer" between them....HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO WAIT SQUARE!?? WE HAVE A LIFE,IF YOU'RE NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR GAMES,WE'LL MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WE HAVE A LIFE,IF YOU'RE NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR GAMES,WE'LL MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE Yeah. The constant updates actually make the fans MORE excited. Holding back every single detail until E3 just makes them tired of waiting, and angry. That's why I'm mad at Square for keeping us in the dark about 2.5 and III. And yeah, the X/Y announcements made everything so much more exciting, I actually wanted to check Pokemon news every day. Now I only really pay attention to KH news at E3 because that's the only time we get ANYTHING (And I appreciate the work that all of the news reporters here on KH13 do, it's just that I have an issue with Square's reluctance to say anything). Exactly. It got to the point where I honestly thought that FFXV (Or Versus XIII as it was called then) wasn't even going to come out, and they were delaying KHIII for nothing. What is there to be "excited" about if we know almost nothing about the game in question? 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude you have no idea how many times I check serebii.net,I was checking that site DAILY in 2013 just to see the X&Y news Even it got to the point that I only go to KH13 just to chat in the Pokemon forum heck last year KH13 was a Pokemon site for me and after OmegaRubyAlpha Sapphire announcements I expect that to be the same as for FFXV?Dude I'll be able to finish FF6 over 10 times this year before they reveal an actual release date for the damn thing Edited May 9, 2014 by Red Tribal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been checking in every day since OR/AS' announcement though, and plan to keep it that way. Yeah, I've posted more in the Pokemon forums than I have in the KH ones. There's just so little to discuss about KH at this point, since there's not really any news about the games. It's really disappointing for me, since KH is my favorite game franchise. At this rate, Pokemon's going to take that spot. : More like 20 times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KH1's still my favorite game ever, though. As for the competitive battling, I really want to try to get back into that. : Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
