TheBucket2

I just remembered that in the original Kingdom Hearts, since Advent Children had not been made yet, they used Lance Bass for Sephiroth's VA during the fight. If anyone has happened to get to the Platinum Match in 1.5, did they keep the original VA or replace it with something recorded by George Newbern?

Anyone else notice they updated the Ansem model too? Go back and look at his face; it's got the more fuller feel of the recent models than the original. Also I'm still surprised this happened at all. If I remember correctly, the reason why we didn't have any rerelease a of KH1 sooner was because of they couldn't get the rights for Tarzan again, hence why it hasn't appeared in any further titles.

I voted no. Because it wasn't some sort of "present". It was just the next game, which happened to be released in 2012, tens years after the first. This was no 10th Anniversary game. Just the next one.

So everyone wines and complains that all she was was a Damsel in Distress kind of character, and now that she'll actually have a participating role in the series, this is what you do? Stfu.

It's my opinion that if people didn't play the games, then that's their fault. I've been so sick and tired of people complaining about "Where's 3? Where's 3?" Why do people hold NUMBERS of games in such high regard? Nearly every KH game so far has had some majorly important plot. Every one of them has added or advanced it in some way. They're just as important. Just because it's not on a console or doesn't have a number does NOT mean it isn't up to par (or even better) than a console game. Also, there's no need for any of this bottle stuff. If they do anything, it'll just be the same as the momentos in 3D.

...that title tricked me...

Because it tells you that YMX can travel through time. Not a plot point everyone would like to know.

Just posted this to r/doctorwho. Thought you guys would like it too. http://imgur.com/dkUzy (Sorry, it's a large pic and neither uploader is showing it.)

Something new.

Did YMX seem to be voiced by Liam O'Brian to anyone...?

Who are the four idiots who said they'd forget it quickly? I'm not saying they're not entitled to their opinion, that's fine. But I've just always wondered.......why are they here, then? If you don't like KH that much, then why bother coming to the site? Or voting, for that matter?

No. Now shutup and go to bed.

Pretty sure that's just a placeholder. If Nintendo didn't announce it, it's probably not real.

(Well that was too many f's...) Hello again everyone, TB2 here. So, I was looking over some random FF news (in the mood from playing Dissidia 012 for the past 48 hours and just hoping for a scrap of news for an overseas release of Type-0...) and I just thought I'd propose a discussion question to you all. What do you think future Final Fantasy characters will be/will be like in KH games? I foresee some sort of conclusion for the Cloud/Sephiroth story in 3 (if there's room for it...) or at least at some point. I don't think the others have much in the way of long-term stories. I doubt Nomura would fully bring in a Leon/Rhinoa story in fear that it would convolute the KH universe with too much FF-universe story (which he'd be right with). What I do foresee however is them either using another Disney-based world as a source of FF characters or using some yet-uncreated original world for another one. Right now we have Radiant Garden (Cid, Leon, Yuffie, Aerith), Olympus Coliseum (Cloud, Sephiroth, and Auron) and Destiny Islands (Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie). I can see them either using another original world as a base for more, or using another Disney-based world as a source. As far as who they'll bring in, I can definitely see Nomura introducing Lightning (FF XIII) in KH3 and maybe even Noctis (Versus XIII, depending on if they'll finish it before starting on KH3). I can also see something interesting with the Warrior of Light and/or Garland but that's probably just me hoping (WoL is my favorite character in the Dissidia series). Obviously most people's opinions on which characters will be brought in will be biased based on their favorites, but that's what this thread is kind of about: Who do you think will be in future installments, and how do you think they'll do it? All in all, my personal vote is going for another new world, most likely Disney-based, and with both the newest FF characters (Lightning, Noctis, etc.) and the oldest (Warrior of Light, Firion, etc.)

1) He was trying to make Ventus have a heart of pure darkness. That's why we saw him forcing Ventus to fight Heartless, so that in his fear he'd use the darkness. After that, he probably figured one of Eraqus's pupils (or Eraqus's himself) would suit for the heart of pure light. 2) The fragments ARE their hearts. So technically he did. Also, it is said that to create the X- blade, the seven lights and thirteen darknesses must CLASH. can't really have that if their "dead" can you? Plus we saw that even though Ansem SoD was overall going for Xehanort's plans, the fact is he was a Heartless, and Heartless act on instinct and emotion, which probably got in the way. 3) it was said that when Ansem SoD went back in time to tell YX of the plans, he simply "granted" him the power. Not sure how that worked, but that's the explanation. 4) Maleficemt wanted the princesses, not the keyholes. The only one she was interested in was the Final Keyhole, which needed the princesses to unlock. She was searching for them, it was Sora's goal to lock the keyholes to guard the world's hearts from further darkness and threats. 5) Xemnas, like Apprentice Xehanort, was in a constant battle with his own thoughts. Was he Terra? Or Xehanort? Or himself? Basically every once in awhile, especially when talking to Aqua's armor, Terra's memories and personality would surface. However, Xehanort's heart and will were too strong by that point, and forced him down again. 6) Roxas was Sora's body cast away, but had Ventus's heart within him. That's why he has his appearance and why he acts as if he has a heart. Because he did. 7) the scene at the beginning of DDD isn't them waking up. It's from the year after BbS, when Apprentice Xehanort and the others cast of their bodies (aka Xehanort forced them to). http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-cool.png this has been answered countless times before. No, they cannot. You not only need to have touched a Keyblade, but have the will of heart. Neither Jack or Leon have that. 9) I haven't seen this translated either, but I know there was some mention of the data worlds. 10) as stated in question six, Roxas didn't grow his own, he had Ven's (I think). By the end of KHII, Sora now has within him: his own heart, Ventus's heart, Roxas's memories and the deep memories of Xion. 11) it was that she was an incomplete clone. She didn't have a true appearance of her own, seeing as she was built from Sora's memories. Her appearance was based on who looked at her. What they wanted to see of her, they saw.

I think it's an aspect most developers overlook, which is unfortunate because I think it adds a lot to the game's experience. I like to use it all the time, and it's actually just annoying if the rumble isn't done correctly. Either do it well or not at all.

Believe me, it doesn't matter. The gameplay is still horrible. Have you watched the cutscenes online? If so, then you've played the game, simple as that.

I've always wondered this. I understand they need to do different animations for cutscenes, but even then, production could/should be done at the same time. I can never get why they basically say, "OK, we're going to make the game here, then you guys change it." Just do it at the same time. As you're writing the script for dialogue, translate it. As you're animating mouths for cutscenes, have US teams animate it for the English at the same time. And record voices at the same time. I just don't get it. There's really no reason not to have worldwide release at the same time.

It'll be interesting to see what our preorder bonus is. Since there was a SE 3DS that came out, I'm going to assume more decals (which is fine, the designs are amazing) but who knows. I know the preorder bonus for TheatreRythm Final Fantasy is a specialized new stylus, so that's cool.

Hey guys, TB2 here again. So, hopefully by now you've noticed that the EU release date for 3D is the 20th of July, 11 days before the US release. This strikes me as odd. Nothing bad or good either way, but just strange. It seems as if they're starting to favor EU countries over the US releases. For years, most Japanese-export games have always gone with a JAP > US > EU release line, with the Japanese versions getting all the goods, the US getting some different yet lesser things, and EU getting either near-nothing or flatout nothing special at all. Lately though it seems as if those tables have turned, especially for the KH series. It first started with BbS. Sure, the EU date was still after the US, but the EU regions got the fancy special edition what-not while the only bonus for the US was sticker decals for the PSP (still badass, btw). But as the games progressed, the release dates started getting closer together, until finally now, EU will get the game a full 11 days before the US. Even though I live in the US, I'm actually saying it's about time. I always felt like the EU region was getting jipped by having the last dates and with nothing special. I think it's their time. On the hand of course, it sucks for me as a US resident, but...oh well. So, what are your guys' opinions on it, if any at all? I just thought it was something interesting I'd like to point out.

At this point, I think Nomura named the Nobodies ironically. We realized the Heartless actually had hearts, so when it came to the part left behind, the body, he just went and said there wasn't one. No-body. Taadaa irony.

Metaknight. Firetrucking owned with him. I know most consider him "broken" and some tournaments banned him, but I was never that kind of player with him.

Should have been an option for "all of the above" because for me it's all of them.

Mama always said they was my magic shoes. Mama said they could take me anywhere. 'Course...mama did used to beat me with a rubber hose and call me a retard...
