IAnd Kairi is going to need to look a little more

Spoiler

battle-ready

.

Which in japanese terms means an even shorter skirt.

I would be ok with that.

 

[redtails64]

As much as I want most of the focus to be on Sora, I'd be dissapointed if we didn't get to play as Kairi. I can honestly say that has been a dream of mine since I first saw her. Adding Aqua to the KH series and having Kairi wield a keyblade in 2 made that reality a little more real for me. I just... I need this to happen. It has to happen. Nomura, make it happen!

 

[ShroudOfFate]

Is it too late to jump on the hype

Spoiler

disappointment

train?

 

[wmlk]

I just need to hear that Utada is back on the train.

 

[TheChits]

I just need to hear that Utada is back on the train.

This would be a most pleasant surprise. It wouldn't feel the same without an amazing song from her

 

[Byronic Hero]

Less than an hour left. I wonder if the trailer(s) will be up tonight.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Apologies if this has already been asked, but will there be a stream?

 

[Byronic Hero]

No, sadly enough.

 

[MrSaturn99]

No, sadly enough.

Augh. Well, I hope a trailer will come soon.

 

[Tidus_Great]

My body is ready.

as is moine

 

[Exentryk]

KH is inside. Only VIPs allowed inside

 

[EekumBokum]

So how should it take for the news to seep out of the event?

 

[Village]

I hope this game has more focus on Riku this time around. I mean dude pushes the plot around most of the time anyway, might as well let me play as him.

eh.

Hype doe.

He was literally 50-55% of Dream Drop Distance. What more do you want? xD

 

[DiamondDogs]

Anyone found a twitter account of someone going to the event?

 

[Village]

More. He does not get enough credit, dude is the fixit man for the damn plot.

Also Kiri, because that would be cool.

 

[sn00zer]

SO why is there a countdown in the OP? This isnt being streamed or anything and we are essentially going to be relying on some grainy cellphone footage a week from now right?

Yep.

And it's probably going to be another proof-of-concept like the E3 trailer.

Unless someone has indicated otherwise. Have they?

 

[Tabris]

Hey Square Enix, if you announce KH2.5, I'll buy FFXIII: LR.

If you stop your iOS shit and remake FFVII on PS4, I'll buy 10 copies.

EDIT - I just realized this post won't make sense. I've decided to personally boycott SE until they cut out their shit.

A FF7 remake for iOS is waaaaaay more likely then PS4.
I'll buy FF10 HD to support FF12 HD but im not getting suckered into buying FF13:LR

 

[Exentryk]

Yes.

Well, there's a countdown because we know the exact time when there's going to be a KH event where all of this will happen and hopefully we'll at least get the descriptions of the event & announcements ASAP, no matter how long it'll take to get some actual footage from the event (if ever).

Also, SQEX has been pretty good with their trailers in the last couple of years (as in, we don't have to wait months or years to see some poor quality mobile phone cam footage from a Secret Mega Theater) so even if it's some VIP thing, we might get the trailers within the next few days.

 

[RickyRozay]

wait so whats the countdown for exactly?

Edit : nvm

You know what? I have faith in this upcoming generation that it will turn around. The Wii fucked up the console market due to it taking over half the sales without the audience to buy the third-party games. If PS4 can return to close to PS2 form. The key will be KH3 and FFXV being quality successful titles.

Essentially, the success of console gaming in Japan is up to Nomura. If KH3 and FFXV aren't absolutely killer and it doesn't drive back audiences to console, then it's officially done in Japan.

Until then, I'm boycotting.

 

[Seda]

Stage event at D23 in Japan where a Kingdom Hearts related announcement will be made + KH3 clip of some sort

 

[Exentryk]

Yoko Shimomura just tweeted the image of the theatre.

Yoko Shimomura just tweeted the image of the theatre.

Fantasia.... Perfect.

 

[Tsunamo]

Wouldn't be Kingdom Hearts without low quality camera footage of the event with Square-Enix trying to take it down before they release it to the public.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Isn't the countdown for the Conversations with Creators vid where there's a portion of a clip?

That's what I thought but I don't know.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Cmon Re:Coded Final Mix!

 

[Exentryk]

"KH came on the stage all of a sudden. There is a 3D hologram of the Keyblade. Yesss" (@aibo_ac7)

I want to be there...


Also, photos aren't allowed at the event.

 

[Seda]

Apparently photos/video is disallowed at the event.

 

[Neolith]

Yoko Shimomura just tweeted the image of the theatre.

Curious to hear what she's been working on all these years, always loved her overdramatic music

 

[TetraGenesis]

So, it's time.



...what do we do?

 

[frostshade]

It's time. My body is ready.
Edit: We get a bunch of people to do the wave after KH 2.5 announcement.

 

[Rulp]

Well... I am here.

 

[Squire]

Curious to hear what she's been working on all these years, always loved her overdramatic music

She's been working on XV as well.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

My ready is body!

Wait can't!

 

[JB2448]

What are we realistically expecting from this event? 2.5? Some actual gamplay footage of III? And if Yoko Shimomura is tweeting about it...oh man!

 

[Amikami]

Um...this better be good.

pfff.

 

[Neolith]

She's been working on XV as well.

Yeah I know she did the title track and I loved it, can't wait to hear more

 

[Milennia]

Its time... To wait some more.

 

[Sandfox]

Wouldn't be Kingdom Hearts without low quality camera footage of the event with Square-Enix trying to take it down before they release it to the public.

The fact that this is true is a sad thing.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

My Nobody is ready

[TetraGenesis]

Yeah... I'm just gonna come back to this thread in the morning.

 

[EekumBokum]

I'm getting excited!

 

[Sandfox]

I kinda want to believe that 2.5 will be announced given the staff there but I'm expecting disappointment all around.
