i absolutely love the KH series as well, although i don't have a ds or psp nor do i really play video games much at all these days :?

no the emperor's new groove world?

no wait they'd save that for KH3

I have it on order, but I'm not going to be able to get it until the 29th. Looking forward to it though.

I'm actually hoping that we get to go to different final fantasy worlds in KH3.

Haven't most of the FF worlds been destroyed/brink of destruction at the end? IDK, haven't really played them to the end to find out.

inb4 shitstorm

On topic, why both a Nintendo AND Playstation release? Square-Enix seems to like all companies evenly, seeing as Chain of Memories was on the GBA and a FF coming to the 360 soon. (fact check?)

Holy crap, if that happens I'll stop everything important in my life and totally play 24-7.

I am pretty sure it is implied that all of the final fantasy characters except possibly auron are all from radiant garden so I doubt there will ever be a world for each individual game

while this is true, it means that a possible idea would be to mashup more characters (say, FFIV and FFVI) into a completely new world.

Ok, that's just my excuse for wantingto see Kefka get whacked in the face with a keyblade.

setzer was not convincing at all, actually i thought he was rather unnecessary

I agree, Setzer wasn't my favorite character. He was one of those that irritated me leveling up 'cos there was no true point. haha At least to me there wasn't.

well i was actually referring to his appearance in KH2, but yeah FF6 had a few too many protagonists to begin with imo

I am pretty sure it is implied that all of the final fantasy characters except possibly auron are all from radiant garden so I doubt there will ever be a world for each individual game

i think squall mentioned something about his homeworld being destroyed by heartless in KH1, iirc

Thalzon
09-27-2009, 02:27 AM
He also mentioned later on in the game that Hollow Bastion was their home. Cloud, Aerith, Yuffie, Cid, and Squall are all from Hollow Bastion.

Bleck

yeah they were talking about hollow bastion aka radiant garden

all of the final fantasy characters are from hollow bastion/radiant garden

EXCEPT FOR

vivi, seifer and co., setzer(?) are from twilight town

tidus, wakka and selphie are from destiny islands

Between this and Scribblenauts, a DSi will be forthcoming...

LuketheXjesse
09-27-2009, 05:57 AM
Yeah they made Setzer all boring. Pure aesthetics, no personality; he was just there for show. They could have at least given him a personality.

Anyhoo I still support the idea of FF worlds. Also Toy Story.

Thalzon
09-27-2009, 06:37 AM
Pixar worlds in general would be pretty sweet. Also, give us 101 Dalmatians world, just for the chance to totally fuck up Cruella DeVille.

But yeah, Pixar's ripe for worlds:

Toy Story
Bug's Life
Monster's Inc
Up
Incredibles

Lastly, gimme a James & the Giant Peach world.

Darklink42
09-27-2009, 08:49 AM
I personally want to see Notre Dame myself. Running around the cathedral would be sweet.

FUCKING THIS.

Also, I'm playing it right now. Or was... since my DS is now out of battery.

I hope you're ready to sit down for a one hour tutorial. And it's part of the story, too, so you can't skip it!

The game is indeed mission based, and even though most of the tutorial missions are kinda... caged in, after diving into my first real mission (and dying miserably multiple times), you'll feel the world really open up just like good ol' KH fare.

Using the X button by itself to navigate the menu sucks balls.

09-27-2009, 08:14 PM

because 358/2 days is a different game from Birth by Sleep maybe?

tidus, wakka and selphie are from destiny islands

yeah, my memory fails me. i probably should have thought about that before i jumped to conclusions

though i think some FF or even preferably some more KH-exclusive worlds would help break the monotony of saving the same Disney worlds over and over (despite game-to-game differences)

My thoughts? LOL RPG Gamer. I only trust reviews from Gametrailers (IMO they seem to be most consistant) and they gave it a decent score (7,9/10). Here take a look: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-kingdom-hearts/56637

Kiyobi
09-28-2009, 09:51 AM
To be fair, the game did feel rather clunky at times.

The rest of the review's negative bullet points are invalid.
It takes place between KH1 and KH2, of course they'll be borrowing songs!

And too many angsty lines about hearts? Well... that's all preference, really. I didn't mind it much.

Bleck
09-28-2009, 05:21 PM

I mind it heavily since the characters being all angsty are specifically described as incapable of feeling angst

Malaki-LEGEND.sys
09-28-2009, 05:33 PM
Or we could have no worlds or terrible angsty characters and just not play Kingdom Hearts because Kingdom Hearts sucks and I don't like bazillion hour long tutorials and screw Tetsuya Nomura sideways his game series sucks what a disappointment

Thalzon
09-28-2009, 08:35 PM

"feeling" being the operative word here. Doesn't mean they can't put on an act or whatever, or bitch endlessly to garner up whatever sympathy they can.

Really though, the whole idea of an omniscient council of vagueness made up of nothing but sexy metrosexual guys (and one psycho-bitch) talking about hearts and kingdoms and shit and generally being really bad at following their own plans was an ill-conceived idea from the get-go.

Seriously. When your whole plan is, "Let Sora kill lots of Heartless and stay out of his way", you don't usually GET IN HIS WAY if you want to succeed. But oh well, there goes Xigbar, Xaldin, Demyx, etc etc etc...

Of course, they were just following Fearless Leader's orders, so maybe they're just too dumb to live.

and the cutscenes are damn impressive for DS

I love her voice, but I mean half the reason I play the game, is because her music for the game is so fitting.
That is a major disappointment.

Darklink42
10-01-2009, 03:38 AM
Well, I'm about two hours in and liking what I'm playing so far. I like all the little nods to the other games, as well as it answering some of those tiny questions I've always had. Hope that trend continues.

The Derrit
10-01-2009, 04:34 PM
I'm liking this more and more as I go through, at first i was pissed that mario and luigi was sold out but now i'm glad. because i know i'll still get that, but i might have skipped this otherwise.

and once again if the graphics turn you off throw away your ds cuz its not getting much better than this

I just started this. Is it just me or is this the longest tutorial ever??

Also, I just lol'd hard at Lexaeus bitch slapping Roxas out of nowhere before his training. Hilarious.

edit: whoa, I just tried a limit break. Bad ass! The action is very smooth for a DS game.

it kind of bothers me that everyone thinks there are no other worlds to go to

hunchback of notre dame, aristocats, emperor's new groove, this new disney movie thats coming out with the frog and the black chick

and that's after like 5 minutes of thinking if i did some actual research i could pull out like 20 more
