Support NeoGAF

[Father_Brain]

Spring 2012? Wow, sooner than I'd expected.

 

[badcrumble]

Those enemies are adorable!

 

[jokkir]

Ahhhh. I need to replay The World Ends With You now!

I can't wait for this game but I still need to finish the other KH games though :\

 

[Moodkip]

Foreshadowing of TWEWY2 please? Outside of this game, Bravely Default, and Slime Mori Mori 3, SE support for the 3DS has been lackluster so far. Their support for the original DS was great, let's see more of that on its successor.

 

[Bel Marduk]

I wasn't too excited about this game but now with Neku and that poster I'm HYPED. Any Idea of a release date? 2011, 2012, later?

It says it right on the poster. Spring 2012. NA release is Fall 2012 I guess...

And yeah those enemies seem suspiciously happier than the rest of KH's enemies. If they are enemies anyway. Sora is leaning on the blue one lol.

 

[Zomba13]

IDK why I laughed so hard

Because it could end up being true?

Not initially

 

[sixteen-bit]

Neku from The World Ends With You is in Dream Drop Distance...

I still need to play that...

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I'm surprised it's so soon, really. I had figured late 2012 for Japan.

It says it right on the poster. Spring 2012. NA release is Fall 2012 I guess...

358/2 Days and Birth By Sleep both came out in September over here, so I wouldn't be surprised to see this come out then.

 

[Luigi87]

I am excited for this!
I mean, sure, the plot is god awfully convoluted, but dammit, I love Kingdom Hearts.

 

[BDGAME]

When people will star play and show images and videos?

 

[Symphonic]

When people will star play and show images and videos?

If it was shown in a closed theater, could be in a couple days or could be never.

 

[BDGAME]

If it was shown in a closed theater, could be in a couple days or could be never.

Thanks... now I sad.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Are we sure those are enemies?

Sora is sitting on the dog, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're some kind of partner monsters...guessing the bat might be Riku's.

Maybe they're going to have collectible monsters as partners? :0

Could be. NEED TO KNOW MORE NOW!

Would be a new concept for KH completely out of left field, but it's not like that's anything new with the series.

 

[duckroll]

If they have companion animals, that might be what the additional lifebar icons seem to indicate in the video, instead of party members: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEqZLuIDbW8

 

[Zierath]

I like the new clothes, they look somewhere between KH1 and 2 designs. Sora's kinda reminds me of limit form. Also Sora has the X on his shirt like TVA.

 

[jackdoe]

Companion animals instead of Donald and Goofy. I can roll with that.

 

[Ken Masters]

I love KH and KH2 but the story is such a cluster fuck, it seriously makes the MGS plot line seem simple and controlled

 

[watershed]

Does this mean that if we buy Kingdom HeartsDD SE might make a TWEWY 2?!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I genuinely wonder who is going to voice Sora in America now.

I imagine HJO is too old to sound like a teenager now.

 

[badcrumble]

that's one of the best things about the franchise!

 

[duckroll]

I imagine HJO is too old to sound like a teenager now.

He's going to continue to voice Sora.

 

[Beth Cyra]

I genuinely wonder who is going to voice Sora in America now.

I imagine HJO is too old to sound like a teenager now.

He sounded to old for ReChain as well but they still used him.

 

[Nirolak]

Spring 2012? Wow, sooner than I'd expected.

Square Enix is aiming for two year cycles and BbS came out in January 2010.

Nomura was actually hinting at this when he mentioned the game was taking longer than expected. They're actually a bit behind!

 

[Levyne]

Depends, James Arnold Taylor voices kids and teen characters and he's 40+.

 

[jackdoe]

He's going to continue to voice Sora.

He voiced him in BBS after all! No amount of criminal charges for possession of weed will stop him from appearing in a KH game.

Square Enix is aiming for two year cycles and BbS came out in January 2010.

Nomura was actually hinting at this when he mentioned the game was taking longer than expected. They're actually a bit behind!

So BBS vol. 2 in 2014?

 

[The Last One]

If they have companion animals, that might be what the additional lifebar icons seem to indicate in the video, instead of party members: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEqZLuIDbW8

So, is this the older Sora? In the artwork the Sora looks like from KH I.

I'm so confused...

 

[Worthintendo]

Wasn't Chocobo Racing showed by them last year? I was kinda looking forward to that.

Also Neku in this game = Hell freaken Yeah.

 

[duckroll]

But I think they get a free pass on this because they released Final Mix in Jan this year, and it sold over 100k.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

His sister.
Pretty much the same voice and it won't deepen too much.

 

[Kisaya]

I actually like the new outfits Just wish Sora had a different color scheme in his.
Also I'm really interested on how they're going to do the reapers game, hope it's not really a main story line thing (like how the FF characters are) and just something on the side though.

 

[MichaelEM3]

NEKU is in this game?!

OMG!

This game will force me to buy a 3DS earlier than planned. Holy shit. The power of a Birth by Sleep-like Kingdom Hearts and TWEWY compels me to stop waiting on the inevitable 3DS redesign!

 

[Shadow Red]

Wow, Sora will finally meet his long lost twin, Neku.

 

[duckroll]

So BBS vol. 2 in 2014?

Depends on what BbS Vol2 even is.

 

[mugurumakensei]

He voiced him in BBS after all! No amount of criminal charges for possession of weed will stop him from appearing in a KH game.


So BBS vol. 2 in 2014?

Yes. Then Kingdom Hearts 4D Dimensional Dream Drop Distance in 2016. Followed by KH BBS Vol 3 in 2018. Versus XIII in 2020, and, finally, KH3 in 2022.

 

[jackdoe]

Yes. Then Kingdom Hearts 4D Dimensional Dream Drop Distance in 2016. Followed by KH BBS Vol 3 in 2018. Versus XIII in 2020, and, finally, KH3 in 2022.

You mean KH: Dream Drop Distance Second.

 

[Bel Marduk]

Maybe they'll skip KH3 and go straight to KH4.

 

[Levyne]

Yes. Then Kingdom Hearts 4D Dimensional Dream Drop Distance in 2016. Followed by KH BBS Vol 3 in 2018. Versus XIII in 2020, and, finally, KH3 in 2022.

You forgot Final Fantasy Injectilo VII-13: Pandora Default Triodicum 43/6

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

I can't imagine we'll be hunting down the apprentices in this game...but this may just be the M of the M.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

So when can we expect the trailer to release??

 

[Symphonic]

So, is this the older Sora? In the artwork the Sora looks like from KH I.

I'm so confused...

He's training inside his mind. Which makes him younger for some reason. In his mind.

 

[Kisaya]

With this I really hope KH3 comes out after BBS2. As much as I loved BBS, I'm really done with all these side stories. I already really hate that they're making a part 2 for BBS, the ending to that felt perfect to move on to KH3.

But I know that's not going to happen plus with all the side games that will come out after KH3 =_=

 

[duckroll]

So when can we expect the trailer to release??

Direct feed online? Probably Monday or Tuesday next week if they're fast about it.

 

[Foffy]

Foreshadowing of TWEWY2 please? Outside of this game, Bravely Default, and Slime Mori Mori 3, SE support for the 3DS has been lackluster so far. Their support for the original DS was great, let's see more of that on its successor.

Their first big game on DS was Final Fantasy III. And that came out two years after the DS launched.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Neko? Wow, my hype is building... I just want some pics and vids at this rate.

Thanks to this: http://img.ly/images/2003009/full we now have a really clear look at the new poster!

Ok, this poster looks awesome! Im liking the new clothes, monster design, etc. As others have said, I wonder if those are companions rather than enemies... How long til we get more info?

 

[Beth Cyra]

Okay I'm not the hugest fan of BBS, but why do people keep trying to call it a side story just because it doesn't have a number?

BBS and now 3D are full entries in the franchise no different from KH 1 and 2 outside of the fact they don't have numbers.

 

[Raitosaito]

He's training inside his mind. Which makes him younger for some reason. In his mind.

This thread has made me laugh for a good hour or so.

Probably should keep Nomura away from any devices that lets him write.

 

[Codeblue]

God damn it all. I've been avoiding Kingdom Hearts all these years, now they pull this crap with TWEWY.

Well, I hope they design it as a good introduction to the series at least, I can't not buy it now.

Edit:

We all know that Joshua is the only TWEWY character worth reusing.

You're out of your vector.
