I totally agree, and Im almost certain that KH3 will be on the PS3. So an order to see the whole story youll need a PS2/gba/ds/psp/ps3. Its expensive too, I wish it all couldve stayed on the ps2 and maybe gba.

Well, to be fair, you'd only REALLY Need a DS, PSP, and PS3, as the PS2 and the GBA games can be played on the PS3 and the DS, respectively.

Thats being fair for now... but since they're obviously willing to go Nintendo for somethings who's to say a part won't eventually wind up on Wii? Then you'd need a DS, PSP, PS3, and a Wii to play everything...

The fansites have scans and screenshots from all the games,along with tonnes of info on gameplay, story etc.

I will mirror those scans later when I have time.

Wow, really pulling the franchise in all directions.

So how do poor people get all the story then, other than the wonders of the internet?

I REALLY hope that Squenix doesn't pull any final mix crap and give JP exclusive content. That pisses me off.

They will continue to do so, cause, like Sony, they don't know jackshit about good business plans. Unless it concerns their OWN people, but even then they dunno how to deal with marketing. Pulling all the franchises on multiplatform is a good business plan for THEIR profits, not for customer's wallets I'm afraid.

Thank god I got just about every console and handheld I need except the PS3.

I've given up on getting FM+ or anything remotly non-dickery from Square a long time ago. Crisis Core doens't even have a NA release date at all, the new Parasite Eve is gonna be on cell phone, and I bet it would be ages before we even see a trailer for any of these new KH games online. Unless a fan records it via camera at Akihabara game stores.

Best not to get your hopes up at all, cause that's just asking for disappointment.

I'm looking foward for the DS game more than any of the others. The cellphone doesn't appeal to me at all, and I'm not buying a PSP just to play that game that doesn't interest me as much as the DS. I have grown attached to Organization XIII, and I will enjoy seeing the characters being expended a bit more, especially since many seem to have played such small parts, particularly the ones only introduced in KH2.

I do hope the gameplay doesn't reolve around touching the screen at all, unless it's for things such as menu's, etc.

As for a convorsation stated earlier, I never played CoM, though I have seen many of the cutscenes on it, but I will say I have grown to hate Sora in KH2. IN KH1, he wasn't bad at all and seemed like a fairly decent main protagonist. Yet, he simply annoys me in KH2. I'm unsure how I feel about his CoM persona. KH1 was a fun game, and I will admit KH2 did throw a lot at people since every other minute there's a new cutscene (it gets extremely annoying after playing the game 2 or 3 times, though for many even the first run got annoying with the constant cutscenes), and basically the gameplay for KH1 was a lot simpler to control, while KH2, even though I feel I handle everything almost perfectly, was much more complex (many of the attacks/skills don't even make sense.) The difficulty of KH1 was also fairly difficult since it was much harder to dodge things, and Curaga seems way too significant in KH2, though that could also be because of that leaf bracer which was in KH1 FM. Another thing I will say is I strongly hate what they have done to Sephiroth. He's only a mediocre challenge around level 4X or 5X, but he's a joke otherwise. The whole storyline bit was also extremely dumb, and hearing people say his name so often killed whatever specialty the mentioning of his name had. I don't know how to explain it, but I hate hearing his name in this game, I can't think of a better term than using other than it sounds dumb. Also fighting him in a clear bright sunny day wasn't good imagery. In the first KH, you fight him at night, and in Advant Children, the version in which many of the KH2 FF character designs were based on, was fought in the day, though he (I know this might be a wrong term, but) summoned a slew of rainclouds, thus making it appear much darker, which was still just as acceptable for the imagery. Though fighting him in the day with his pathetic not-sounding-dark-evil-or-maniacal-at-all was a turn off. Let alone after the battle you can talk to him normally with the triangle button, and watching him repeat his innocent talking motion over and over basically killed whatever decently "cool look" he could have ever held in this game. I will admit, I was very dissapointed in KH2 the first time I beat it, though I later enjoyed it more when I realized how much I enjoyed the concept of Organization XIII. They're probably the best thing to happen to the game (KH2), which is probably why I'm mainly interested in the DS game.

I know this isn't about KH2, but I wanted to say that.

The more i think about it, the more i'm pissed off that Birth by Sleep will be PSP. I'm interested in both 358 and BbS (living in Canada, i'm still having trouble grasping the concept of a cell phone game let alone it being worth playing), but i'd really rather not have to shell out 200 dollars, plus the price of the game, and a few others to justify my buying a PSP for it. There are other games i really want on a PSP, but not enough to justify my buying one yet.

This multiplatformism is really a kick in the teeth, and yet, i can't help but be excited for 2 of the 3 games announced.

I do have a PSP so its not a problem for me, but goddamit, why can't they bring it to the PS2 at least? Birth should be played on a big goddamn TV screen with awesome surround sound and visuals, just so we can feel the epicness the game is probably gonna become.

Putting it on the PSP kinda diminishes the epicness, even if you go TV output...

Still gonna get the DS and PSP game though.

Ugh, i hate Square-Enix. WHY Couldn't they put more org.XIII the first time! There is no way i'm buying those extra games, i'll watch the cutscenes on youtube..it's free thankyou!

I simply wish they stayed on the PS2. These handheld games do not and cannot hold the same experience it could on a Playstaion.

No, I'm pretty sure "crap" is universally interchangeable.

That premise only works with the assumption that Kingdom Hearts wasn't fanfiction to begin with.

when will the game for PSP come out? I can't wait!

Seriously? This is whay you bumped a 7 month-old thread for? *le sigh*

Using the almighty power of the Internet, one could find out that Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (the PSP one) still doesn't have anything like a confirmed release date. Given it's using the Crisis Core engine it shouldn't be too long, but that will be the Japanese release.

i also enjoi kingdom hearts and am11 also wondring wen teh gamez for psp and ds will be relesd>. 111 spekin of which does any1 hv "passion" fr me 2 download?? mayb i go make thread in audio rekwest, is that an intellgent idea?/

On topic, I'm not really looking forward to these releases a whole lot, but will probably check them out if other people like 'em and stuff. Mr. Nomura will probably reel me in once again with his abhorrent game makin' skillZ...

Has there even been any official confirmation that these will be released outside of Japan? Aside from Coded, it would suck if they're Japan exclusive.

358/2 Days is the main game I'm looking foward to.

A Kingdom Hearts game...Japan exclusive?! Dude, I'm 100% sure that they will bring any and all games with the words "Kingdom Hearts" attached to it over here quick smart (Hell, they'd probably even allow a KH hentai game over here. And it'd probably sell like hotcakes (sweet Kairi hotcakes, that is)). Square-Enix knows what the people want...=/

Oh by the way guys, Kingdom Hearts: Gettin' Down and Dirty with Disney was just announced.

1) Don't fret yet, the new DS and PSP Kingdom Hearts games don't even have JP release dates yet. You'll get them, just not soon.

2) The Kingdom Hearts Final Mix games did not and will not come out in America.

Isn't that only because the Final Mix games had all the extra stuff the American versions had over the JP versions? Or were there a few more features added?

I thought all games were considered "Japan exclusive" until a US date is (eventually) confirmed anyway? I mean, sure, common sense will tell us that the titles are coming out over here, but nothing is confirmed until the companies themselves confirm it.

I mean that's the way I see it anyway. =\

That aside, I'm looking forward to the PSP Kingdom Hearts game. I've enjoyed Crisis Core for what it was and starting to really get into gaming on PSP.

No, the Final Mix games had exclusive content for the JP market. The first one included an extra boss fight (surprisingly, you'd end up fighting the guy in KH2) and a secret video for KH2 (to this day, one of the best trailers I've seen) if you completed some requirements.

KH2 Final Mix Plus included battles with other members of Organization XIII that weren't originally in the game, plus rematches with all 13 members in an extra level in which even if you were level 99, you'd still get your ass kicked. Also, there was another special boss fight and the boss is involved in the psp game coming out. What was so "Plus" about the game? It also had Kingdom Hearts Re: CoM, a complete remake of the GBA game with voice acting and cutscenes, but only in the Japanese language. To this day, I still have no idea why they didn't release it overseas.

Also, both Final Mix games had extra enemies and extra weapons and items to collect.

As far as the other two future games go (not counting the cell phone games), I'll end up playing them since I'm hooked on the story but as far as release dates go we probably won't hear that until E3 or TGS.

Hurry and watch it before it gets taken down!

Nice to see Terra does not share the same voice as Zack, unlike Axel and Reno. Gameplay looks solid from what I can see.

Sweet, I can't wait for this! The gameplay looks amazing, thank you very much for posting this. ^5

Awesome, thanks for the vid. Can't wait till these games come out, mainly the DS and PSP ones.
