God dammit. Can't game series either stay on one platform at least have the same game go multiplatform nowadays?!? Not made of freaking money here.

Less money to spend for consumers who don't desire to get another platform, much less two, for just one game.

Remember that Sora = sky (wind), Kairi = ocean (water), and Riku = land (earth). I'd imagine that means that Terra is an analogue of Riku and that, yes, the girl is going to be Aqua.
I think the most important question here is, how do you say 358/2 Days? After a lot of debate, I'm going with "179 Days."

duckroll said:Yes, Nomura actually says that in the interview.It's officially read as Three Five Eight Days Over Two.
I don't have time to read your so-called "interviews"! I'm a busy man!
Does he shed any light about what the AWESOME title means. That's sarcasm, btw. The title sucks.
I can't WAIT to find out about the AWESOME connection between Sora, Roxas, and Vent. I'm going to start replaying KH1, COM, and KH2 to look for hints, because I'm sure that whatever the reason is, Nomura has had it planned from the very start of the series!

I remember originally, everyone thought Vent was VEN lol Its interesting because most of the theories that exploded after KH II FM+ seem to be turning out true in alot of ways.
BTW the battle system in Re:COM and well, in COM too, was great in my opinion. Re:COM was better mainly due to the fact that you could set it to Proud at the start of Sora's and Riku's games. This gave some needed challenge to the game. But more than that, the story was simply amazing, and the specific characteristics and personalities of the Castle Oblivion members was more impressive then those in KH II IMO(Vexen and Zexion ftw!)
What looks interesting about KH DS is the opportunity to explore the characters of Org. XIII even more. Lets learn more about Even and Ienzo!!

Holy SHIT. The PSP version looks simply amazing. Not only that but it seems to have gameplay that will be similar to the PS2 versions, which is fantastic. Too bad it's coming out last.
The DS version looks like shit. Fucking terrible, should've done KH CoM style with updated graphics.
I couldn't care less about the Mobile one.
PSP Version Get.

Some new info about the co-directors of each game:
KH DS - Tomohiro Hasegawa is also the co-director of IAWW (with Nomura as creative producer and Tatsuya Kando as director)
KH PSP - Tai Yasue is also the co-director of KH Re:CoM (with Nomura as director)
Hope that makes everyone feel better! Both guys have served as co-directors under Nomura before!

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
So, the PSP version, which I'm excited about, is co-directed by someone who also co-directed the worst KH game ever, and the DS version, which I'm not so excited about, is co-directed by someone who also co-directed one of the best new Square-Enix IPs in the last five years? I'm confused, but intrigued!

CoM wasn't that big of a disaster imo. What really held it back were shitty controls (2Dish battles + lack of buttons) and a platform that couldn't give the presentation that Nomura wanted.
Re:CoM maintains the card deck system (which is pretty deep and interesting once you learn it) but also presents the entire game remade in the KH2 engine. Everything is 3D including the battles. You can now run, roll, jump, etc in 2D areas while using the cards to attack/defend/cast spells/etc. The controls are much better and the cutscenes between each floor are all fully voiced.
If you can find KH2FM+ for a good price you should definitely check it out. It's pretty much CoM as Nomura originally envisioned it.

Well, the director of that garbage is probably the head of the studio. So when Nomura's directing Re:CoM and BbS, he's just a co-producer. Tai Yasue was only one of many planners on Samurai Legend and he's shown to be much more capable as a co-director.

I don't remember Chocobo Tales looking like pixelated AIDS, so why does the DS game look so? Should have been a top-down 2D Mana ripoff.
The phone game actually does look pretty good. I doubt it'll play on my ancient brick.

In my opinion, it wasn't so much Musashi was "bad," but it really could have been so much more. If it were as energetic and fast as its opening movie, or played more along the lines of something like Devil May Cry, it would have been received a lot better then it was. As it is, Musashi himself was relatively slow and clunky, and just wasn't able to convey that sense of "this guy is a badass warrior," like they wanted you to think. Speaking of Devil May Cry, it didn't help that the game was released in the same month as DMC3, which actually did make you feel like a total badass.
Awful, awful voice work also didn't help.

I am incredibly impressed at SE's efforts at pushing the PSP graphics, if you had showed me those shots before the announcement I would've said that it was a PS2 game.

I liked IAWW despite being totally lost at times, but I would be pissed if they used the same touch based combat in a KH game, I mean unless they improved it by a whole lot.
