Square Enix The Official Kingdom Hearts Thread

Tagline above says rumour, but really, we'd be surprised if either of these things didn't take place. The latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine (not sure whether it's the British or Australian edition) is making its way to letterboxes, and in the mag's rumour section is the following: "Kingdom Hearts III is currently in development as a PS3 exclusive and will be announced at TGS". Seeing as Kingdom Hearts I & 2 were PS2 exclusive, that's hardly a stretch. And with Kingdom Hearts II being nearly three years old, we're well overdue for a third game. Stay tuned, TGS kicks off in just over a month.

Would be cool if this turns out true but Im having my doubts considering the team is working on FF VS XIII. I guess we'll have to wait till TGS to get an official confirmation

I hope we do hear something good. I can't wait!

 

[Superhero 101]

That would be so sweet!!! I loved the first Two!

Some Disney properties I'd love to see levels based around:

The Incredibles
Kim Possible
Treasure Planet
Robin Hood

Characters I'd like to see:

Mike and Sully
Wall-E
Elliot the dragon
Woody and Buzz Lightyear
Mary Poppins

Hmmm...it would be great. The only issue is that the team is currently busy milking the Final Fantasy franchise. The rumors going around this game are crazy, such as the one that it was being developed for the Wii.

It makes more sense for the PS3 considering the other two were...but honestly, I could see them doing it for the Wii also, considering the fact that a game full of Disney characters would sell like hotcakes on the Wii, especially considering the install base the system has.

Probably the only game that could be mistaken by children and mothers as a casual title upon first glance.

The Wii wouldnt get Kingdom Hearts 3. It could get a smaller side story kind of like SE has been doing with the handheld systems, but I doubt they'd ever put the next main entry to the series on the Wii.

I still haven't played either Kingdom heart game lol. I love RPG's, and think Square usually churns out some of the better RPG's, but never got into the series. However ppl who play it seem to love it, so I am tempted to check out how much they are on ebay eventually.

My main worry about the series is if it's too kiddy. I saw Donald Duck and Goofy in the group and it kinda turned me off to the series right off the bat. However I know Square knows how to walk that razor's edge inbetween G and that area leading into mature language and insinuation, so I realize KH may not be what I was thinking it would be. I take it you guys recommend a playthrough?

 

[Havok83]

Dont worry about it being too kiddy bc it isnt. The second one actually got a bit darker than the first. The series had great gameplay and thats what kept people playing.

[The Dude]

I need some freaking kingdom hearts on ps3 dammit!

And bring back axel dammit!

 

[Havok83]

I hope the game isnt as complicated as KH2 was. The whole thing with Organization XIII lost and confused me

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

The fact that it carried on from a DS game didn't help. Story wise and gameplay wise KH2 was inferior to the original, hopefully they make it more like the tighter KH1.

I never played CoM before I played II, so i had to stop and research it about half way through when i got completely lost.

same here. Square-Enix is horrible for this but lately they've been putting out sequels to some of their games on different company platforms and it doesnt help matters. It doesnt seem to make much sense going from the PS2 -> DS -> PS2. People who had no intention of owning a DS were completely out of the loop and the game didnt take much time to properly explain it all

 

[SouLeSS]

The game is only confusin if you're half paying attention to what they're saying.

CoM didn't really explain that much, and was easily skipable in the long run. All it really did was introduce Org XIII.

It also introduced Namine who was central to the Nobody plot. Organization XIII and the whole nobody stuff was the stuff that confused me the most when playing

I know this is about the 3rd part, but I didn't think it was worth to open an extra thread.

Square-Enix finally decided to release the PS2 port of "Chain of Memories", that was included in the Japanese Final Mix version of Kingdom Hearts II, in Noth America. And for only $29.99.

[Havok83]

Its about time. I read that it was coming in the US last fall in EGM, but nothing else surfaced so it looked like it was scrapped until now

Excellent news, but this is the final nail in the coffin to my dream that we'll ever get Final Mix + in the US.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I hope there's a level where the High School Musical Kids are taken over by the Heartless, and Hannah Montana is they're leader and she transforms into a giant crab!

 

[Fading]

Only if you can flip her over and attack her weak spot for massive damage....'bout the only way you can kill crabs ya know. Well...some special shampoo's can take care of crabs too.

 

[Hush]

Yeah my bro told me about the COM game tonight im psyched.

You'd have to use the special shampoo. After you beat her, you get a Hannah Montana pink keyblade with her face plastered all over it. Instead of helping you, it sucks your health away. The little keychain is in the shape of Zac Efrons head.
YAY FOR CRAPPY DISNEY SHOWS! WOOOOO!!!

I wanna see a National Treasure level actually.
