Cucco 1,907 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) We should be using it to get closer/ww release dates for Kingdom Hearts III overseas. It's sad how Japan gets the games way earlier, gets ALL of the cool stuff, and the Final Mixes years before we do, Yet Kingdom Hearts sells better overseas. http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=kingdom+hearts I don't want to be scrolling through YouTube and see video recommendations that say "Sora Dies in KHIII" or something like that. It's just not fair that Japan doesn't have to face the risk of being spoiled and the story getting ruined for many of us, and they get the games way earlier, even though the majority of the fanbase is overseas. They should just start dubbing and translating at the same time as Japan. Edited July 30, 2014 by Cucco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keyblader_95 1,410 Posted July 30, 2014 We all would like to have a world wide release. *sees list* Wait, "Kingdom Hearts: Trinity Master Pieces" has no sales? What the- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkerturbo 168 Posted July 30, 2014 It's hard to yell at square for releasing games in Japan first since almost every japanese developer does it. And while Kingdom Hearts does sell better overseas than in Japan, you do have to consider that the total population of Japan is a lot lower than NA or Europe, and if you look at it as the percent of people who purchased it out of the entire population, kingdom Hearts is most popular in Japan.

Either way you put it the sales are better overseas. They can't keep dismissing us like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FFXIV: ARR and TAY 3D were released worldwide at the same time. And they aren't always better. Birth by Sleep sold poorly in NA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birth by Sleep sold poorly in NA. That was the only time, and that was just because the psp was never that popular outside of Japan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cucco 1,907 Posted July 30, 2014 Well, People from Japan are creating the game... (If i'm mistaken). People from Japan also make Nintendo games, which get world wide release dates. It's not hard to do the english version the same time as the Japanese version. 1 VeNate13 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forever 3,550 Posted July 30, 2014 They're not gonna give us a release date. Once it's completed, we're all gonna get small unmarked packages dropped down our chimneys, with a bill attached to the front and the game inside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep having to say this, Pokemon only just started doing this and you know how big Pokemon is. KH is nowhere near that level. I'm sure they will for KH3 though.

The KH Fanbase is pretty big, once KH3 is out i'm sure like you said. Will probably be the start of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sora96 17,256 Posted July 30, 2014 I wasn't only talking about Pokemon It's the closest comparison you can give though, since it's an RPG. The KH Fanbase is pretty big, once KH3 is out i'm sure like you said. Will probably be the start of it. Not as big as others. They haven't sold two million copies of a game since KH2.

No, I'm saying Nintendo in general because they give WW releases to all of their games. And Pokemon has always been more popular in Japan anyways. Holy, are you serious? I thought 1.5 would of atleast be close to the millions then. It has sold 1.22 million Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has sold 1.22 million I see, Wait and you will see it get into the 2 millions, Anyways i'm gonna leave it at the fact that it will start when KH3 starts getting updated on and released and such.
