Official Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP) Import thread of Convoluted Nonsense

Yeah, Zane's voice was fantastic and he lent the character much, much more personality. I understand that he's expensive and possibly crazy, but he sounded SO good.

2 days to go!!!! I'm getting a little bit hyped now, because I've completed Uncharted 2 and I'm ready for a new action RPG on the PSP! :eek:

Great OP. Do the portable games have Utada Hikari sung themes like Passion / Simple and Clean?

Yes, but they're not new because apparently Disney took too long to pay Utada. Hopefully they can reach an agreement before the next KH.

I understand that he's expensive and possibly crazy, but he sounded SO good.

I don't think he is much more expensive than Christopher Lee, and he would have had very few lines in KH2 so I guess he was filming something at the time like Depp and the others. Too bad :(

EDIT: Does anyone else always wonder what Christopher Lee was thinking when he was recording his role :lol ?

awesome OP :lol

how are the chances this will pass 1 million in japan?
Not that big I guess, Final Fantasy is still a bigger franchise than KH in Japan and Dissidia and Crisis Core didn't reach 1 million in Japan on the PSP (I think).

At least I hope the game does a lot better than 358/2 Days on the DS and I have a strong feeling it certainly will.

Haha. What the fuck happened to this series? Goddamn Nomura and his convoluted bullshit. I remember playing through the first Kingdom Hearts and really enjoying it. It was a lot of fun to travel through all of those Disney worlds, but wow... it looks like they really abandoned the Disney part and put the zipper-porn animu part into overdrive.

I think BBS will have a new remix of Hikari/Simple and Clean (also, the song is Hikari, the singer's name is Hikaru). It might be the old mix, but I don't believe that's the case.

But the game is coming out in Japan this weekend (saturday Jan 9th). Games never come out on a weekend in Japan. Why is this coming out on a weekend. It makes no sense. Just like the game. And it's coming out in the US and Europe...someday.
Btw why is this? I tought only Dragon Quest games are released in weekends in Japan

Well, actually, people are pretty interested in BbS because trailers seem to indicate a lot more Disney involvement than CoM, KH2 and 358/2, so...

Ansem stuff

That drawing of DiZ makes me feel unclean.

Bedpo and synthesizers posts are amazing. :lol

Tis the funniest and most WTF thread I've read on gaf next to the hilarious abomination of bayonetta's OT.
 
Yeah, BBS looks like it's very possibly going to have as much Maleficent involvement as KH1 or even more. Which is great, she ought to remain one of the primary villains in the series even if [whoever the hell happens to be Xehanort at the time] is the "main" villain throughout all the games so far. She just had a little side story in KH2 about taking over that castle toward the very end, so I'm hoping BBS lets her seriously chew some carpet and that KH3 will have a lot more of her as well.

God, I wish Disney was never part of the deal so that I didn't have to bother with this. But I will buy it, and the original post will persist, mocking me.

I contend that if Disney was never a part of Kingdom Hearts to begin with the series would be vastly less popular. SE bait and switched everyone by making them think they were getting an RPG about Disney and Final Fantasy but the truth was it was just another one of Nomura's crazy unmarketable ideas.

Every sequel has distanced itself further and further from the Disney and FF stuff, all part of Nomura's grand plan.

I hope BBS is like Days in that not so much will be left so ambiguous to the player. Days had cool subtleties like with Roxas crying, raising the suspicion if he's really a Nobody.

BBS will hopefully be as concrete too. KH2 was filled with so many holes to make spinoffs that this whole Kingdom Hearts: Another Dive game may explain where Riku gained the ability to pull Keyblades out his ass and give them to people.

No, it's the same song.

I've thought this, too. The worst part is that I wanted this to be solely Disney plus originals (I love Final Fantasy, but I think it's too bizarre with 3 worlds colliding). So, when Final Fantasy started getting marginalized for original stuff, I was excited! And then... Since, apparently, we'll get news of the sequel soon, we'll see. The handheld games flesh out Nomura's nonsense and the console ones went from 95% Disney to 50% in 1 game. If we see 20 more silver-haired villains in the 3 trailer, I might be done.
 
The story in KH2 turned to pure shit. It's by far the most contrived drivel that I've ever witnessed in a video game.

And before anyone says anything about Metal Gear Solid, at least that game has cool characters. Not a bunch of guys in trench coats with spiky hair.

It's a shame that I love the games so much, because I don't want to support this nonsense. It's like everything that's wrong, and right, with Japan-developed games.

By "Passion" he was referring to the KH2 song.

Yeah I heard Passion before I heard Sanctuary.

The trailer for KH2 with the Utada song was so damn good. Hope she comes back for the third one.

Yeah the KH story line went off the deep end right after you beat the final boss in KH1 (just before the final cutscenes)....anything after that is just a big WTF in my mind...love the KH style though, great visual design
Kingdom Hearts is light!!!! Wait a sec...ope nvm its darkness, oh but theres some light and wtf is Mickey Mouse doing there?

Awaiting leak. LOL @ me being a fan even though the last KH game I bought was Chain of Memories on the GBA on its release date.

Good games but Americans get screwed over. The Final Mix of KH2 was too god-tier.

I didn't find the original Kingdom Hearts that complicated. It was pretty cut and dry. Kingdom Hearts II is when stuff really went off the deep end. Multiple Ansem fakeouts in addition to the introduction of Nobodies, it just made the whole thing way too dense.

At least Metal Gear Solid has a good cycle going.

MGS1 - straightforward
MGS2 - What the...
MGS3 - straightfoward, and they somehow managed to explain wtf was going in MGS2
MGS4 - uh...I'll just pretend that last hour never happened

I'm still a big fan of KH. I've just given up on trying to wrap my brain around the story they're trying to tell.

Well shit, spoilers are leaking up the wazoo all over the place.

Should I indulge, or should I not?

On the one hand, I want to play this game.

On the other hand, I might as well get the headaches out of the way.

Decisions, decisions!

You're wrong. I know now, without a doubt. Kingdom Hearts... is LIGHT! :lol


I'm so hyped for this game, haven't been as hyped for a game since KH2 ^^

Not mine btw :)

Btw I am kinda surprised that there didn't even leaked one video of the game on youtube yet...


Anyhow here's hoping with get a Western release date today or tommorow (the Western release date of 358/2 Days was also announced on the Japanese release of 358/2 Days :) )
