[CarefulWetPaint]

So kingdom hearts 3d is on the 3DS Looks like I wont be playing it then >.>

Has the Final Fantasy MMO been released yet? If so is anyone playing it?
If not does anyone plan to play it?

[コナンくん]

So, I beat KH3D some time last week or 2 weeks ago, I dont remember which I just beat it. I've been playing KH2FM, and im planning to play KHRe:CoM again as well. But I some how can't play KH1FM, mainly due to the fact I played KH1/FM so many times it lost it taste for me for a while, so it may take a while before me wanting to play it again, but its not like i dislike it, I LOVE IT ALOT, but played it SOOOOO MANY TIMES haha. After I re-beat KH3D on Critical, Imma re-play BBSFM tho. :)

KH3D on Critical kind of scares me. KH3D on Proud kicked my booty alot. Hahah Im sure I will beat it well. :)

Lucky. I don't have either of the Final Mixes. or BbSFM, which makes me incredibly sad, as BbS is my favorite game in the franchise ;____;

So how's KH3D on Critical? I heard that

Spoiler:

Young Master Xehanort

was really tough no matter what difficulty you were playing on...

Spoiler:

Rewinding time back to the start of the fight? ARE YOU SERIOUS. Does he really do that, or is my information mistaken because I will seriously die a thousand deaths ;____;

I reaaaaaally want to fight

Spoiler:

Sora in Ven's armor

because reasons.

Spoiler:

VEN IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER HE WAS PROTECTING SORA LIKE SORA PROTECTED HIM D'AWWWWW even though it kind of didn't work because Sora still got possessed by darkness I guess? Low quality cutscenes are the devil.

I haven't started Critical yet, I will after KH2FM, and The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past. plus he wasnt hard on Proud.

Well,

Spoiler:

rewinding time back isnt that bad, since he only has 2 bars of life when does, he has like 4 - 5 bars in the real fight, rewinding back 2 bars, he does step up his game a bit tho, but it isnt hard.

I reaaaaaally want to fight

He was a bit hard for me, at first but now he is easy :)

WELP. That's quite different than what I was hearing. But that is muuuuuch better than 4-5 bars seriously D;

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

I think Ven's armor sort of 'stalled' the darkness, if you will. You saw what Sora's Station of Awakening looked like, all infested with darkness and such. So the armor got possessed instead of Sora, but Sora was still in the armor but the armor clearly fought using Ven's style of fighting but it used Kingdom Key but it used it backhand gaaaaaah D;

14 is out on PC and has been for about a year, if that's what you mean. (I think they cancelled the PS3 version...) I've never played a Final Fantasy MMO since I just never get into that genre and I don't want to pay for something I would probably never play. I've heard 14 wasn't very good, though, hence the console cancellation. :s

I'm annoyed that you had to play through the whole game to get critical. :/ I usually don't find crit any harder than proud mode so I would have been okay with doing it from the start. I mean, I guess I'll do my crit playthrough when everyone here is starting the English game (I don't have an English 3DS so I won't be buying it) but I'd still rather have done it from the start.

Get iiiit. Cutscenes are all in English and you really only need to learn katakana to play because the menus are all transliterated English words anyway. 8D It's seriously my favourite game ever.

When that scene first started I was kind of pissed off because: A) I didn't know it was Sora and I thought Ven had become corrupted and evil in Sora's heart which would never happen so I was mad, and B) it seemed soooo out of place and I'd thought the game was over already and honestly, the whole diving into Sora's dreams part seemed so tacked on and unnecessary.

But.

OMG VEN. ;_____; I just about died when I realized what he did. And then him, Xion and Roxas asking Riku questions to test him to make sure he was a good friend to Sora or whatever the heck happened there. AWW. AWWWW. My new headcanon is that Ven is totally the babysitter in Sora's heart. xD; He helps along all the new arrivals and takes care of Sora whenever he's sleeping on the job and skldjfls.

Spoiler:

Honestly, I think the worst part of that fight was the fact that I could never deal enough damage to that thing he retreats into before rewinding time. x_X I don't even know how I managed it the time I beat him, since it just went so much better than every other attempt. But that was seriously the only part I had problems on and I still don't know why. ;_;

[ToriSora]

What is your favorite series made by Square-Enix?
Kingdom Hearts
Who is your favourite Kingdom Hearts character?
Axel he is hot in more ways then one.
What console(s) do you hope Kingdom Hearts III will be on?
Wii U I just think with the controller it would work well.




On a side note I hope they port TWEWY to the Wii U. Keep the character models from DDD and it would be awesome.

Talking about DDD I have been playing it so far and I'm in love with it. Such a fun game.

[Lightning]

._. I have no plans to get a Wii U as of now, so I'm kind of hoping nothing ends up on it, hahaha. If it gets KH or TWEWY, though, I'm screwed since it'll also definitely be region-locked. XD :( TWEWY is probably just as good a fit for the Wii U as it is on the 3DS and it's already on the 3DS in some capacity so maybe they will bump it up. I think you're right, it would work well with the control scheme, from what I've heard about it.

All this discussion has made me want to buy a new kingdom hearts game >.> I havent played any but 1 & 2 on the PS2.

Spoiler:

What ending did you guys get in KH1? I remember getting an ending where it was a cut scene with Riku possibly looking for Sora iirc which i probably dont. I also got one where that didnt come up??
While on this was there different endings to KH2?? I only finished it once..

Do you guys suggest I pick it up chronological to get the fantastic experience you all seem to be having with it and i keep spoiling myself with because it sounds so fantastic and I loved 1 and 2 sooo much!
Or should I just get a certain one and go with that one?

YEP THAT WAS ME TOO. I could not think of a single reason why Ven would've turned evil, especially in Sora's heart. And then I started panicking thinking that Vanitas (who I think also has a room in the Sora's Heart Hotel?) could have corrupted him or something. And then I got annoyed again that they were just pushing something like that to the end of the game with no explanation. (If that were the case, it would've made a cool extra boss or something, I remember thinking.)

Hahaha, after Riku goes through the questions and then meets DiZ on the beach or whatever, they laugh at the fact that Sora is always sleeping. And then of course I think I made the connection for the first time that Sora sleeps almost as much as through a lot just like Ven does. I... I'm not sure why I never noticed before, especially since COM is my favourite game after KH2. XD; So of course, now I wonder if Namine ever found Ven while she was rearranging Sora's heart while he slept. She's so all-knowing by the time KH2 comes around, it wouldn't surprise me. They would be adorable friends. .__.

I think that was Ven's question. And iirc, you have to answer "My friends" in order to get the secret ending. AWW. ;~; I just picked the sappiest answers for everyone without looking up a guide or anything and it all worked out.

There is only one ending to each of the game, but depending on how much of the game you completed (or what difficulty you played on), you can get extra cutscenes tacked on. The extra cutscenes for both games are:

Spoiler:

In KH1, you see Riku fighting Roxas (though you can't tell it's Roxas) during a countdown from 13. I think. It's been a while. XD;

In KH2, you see a brief preview of Birth by Sleep. Terra, Aqua and Ven are standing (armoured) in the Keyblade Graveyard. I think Master Xehanort and Vanitas are in it, too. (It's okay if you have no clue who any of these people are... you aren't supposed to at this point. XD)

In KH2FM, for doing total completion, you get pretty much the trailer for Birth by Sleep, which takes place immediately after the scene in the original KH2 secret ending.

Do you guys suggest I pick it up chronological to get the fantastic experience you all seem to be having with it and i keep spoiling myself with because it sounds so fantastic and I loved 1 and 2 sooo much!
Or should I just get a certain one and go with that one?

Well, if you're going chronological order, Birth by Sleep (PSP) is the prequel to the whole series. And honestly, I think it's the best game in the series. It's definitely the best gameplay-wise (at least before KH3D), though it may just be my obsession with the game that leads me to say it's the best overall. XD;

Otherwise, the chronological next in the series is Chain of Memories. There's the GBA version and a prettied-up PS2 version. It uses a card-battle system so it's not the fandom favourite at all, but it's my second-favourite anyway. Next (takes place between KH1 and KH2, tells Roxas's story) is 358/2 Days. It's fun if you like the Organization but it doesn't really explain anything and it's not very essential to the story. Gameplay is the same as KH2 except toned down to fit the DS's controls. It's still quite playable though. I'd avoid Re:Coded because nothing of importance happens in it until the final cutscene and it was a horrible game (again, might be a little bias on my part but I did not enjoy it).

So yeah, I'd go with BBS and then Days, if you can. :D

[CarefulWetPaint]

God I have trouble splitting up quotes is there an easy quick way to do it?

Thats what I meant by different endings meant more cut scenes >.<. I think thats awesome how they do that in the game.

358/2 Was the one that I did look at before KH2 But i was like ugh this blows and just didnt finish it /didnt care enough. But I guess I'll give it another go..

:O PSP :'( I dont have a PSP how else could I play this.. >.> But I will definitely try my best to play BBS because of your love for it! Its inspiring!

Do all the games have the extra cut scenes if you finish the game more completely??

Wouldnt and Advent Children type movie for Kingdom Hearts be awesome or what!

@CarefulWetPaint KH and KHII only had one ending I think. Definitely go chronological if you can. It makes a looooot more sense that way. I actually started with KHII so I was a little confused lol.

I usually just add in the quote tags manually, which really sucks. x_X; It's also fine to just reply to the whole post split by paragraphs though. I've just been so used to splitting them up to keep spoilers separate in this thread over the last week that it's become habit. :'D

Yeah, it's not a very good game if you're looking for an epic like KH1 and KH2. It's pretty good as a handheld game--the gameplay is very suited to picking it up during a bus ride and doing a mission or two--but unless you really like the Organization (and I did), it's kind of ehh.

I've never been told that my love for BBS is inspiring but I'll definitely take it as a compliment. :D

Do all the games have the extra cut scenes if you finish the game more completely??

I think most of them do, yeah. Usually it's fine to beat them on the hardest difficulty if you aren't one for completion. And if not, there's always Youtube. (I used Youtube for the secret ending of Re:Coded because there was no way I was doing completion in that game. I haven't turned it on since the night I beat it, haha.)

Wouldnt and Advent Children type movie for Kingdom Hearts be awesome or what!

yes omg. ;~; It's not like they aren't ~partnered with Disney who is known for animated films~ or anything. :P Maaaan that would be so awesome.

Spoiler:

Aww, man, I feel bad because every post I'm just like "WELL IN MY HEAD CANON..." but seriously I spend my days just thinking about all this stuff so I have a lot of head canon. But anyway! In my head canon, Sora hears all the voices in his head and all Vanitas ever manages to do are silly things like yelling out random numbers while Sora's trying to do a math test or flipping the Command Board whenever the people-in-Sora's-heart try to play it. Because they totally do that in their spare time. Since they probably, you know, have a lot of it. Ven would teach them how to play. And since he's absolutely horrible at it, no one would actually know how to play so I guess the board-flipping would kind of backfire on Vanitas anyway. He merged part of his heart with Sora. Sora. So he can't be that evil anymore. :P

Haha, DiZ creeps me out so I was amused when Riku made the joke and then switched to "DDDD:" when DiZ started laughing too. Maaan I think I dislike him almost as much as MX. ;_;' But omg Sora is such a trooper. He realizes he spent his entire Mark of Mastery exam asleep, doesn't become a Keyblade Master after everything he's done, and still gets more excited about Riku getting the title than Riku was. ;~; And I pretty much died when Riku wakes up from diving into Sora's heart and Sora's having a tea party without him. And Lea was being really creepy and sitting on the chair doing nothing but watching Riku sleep. And he was sitting on it backwards so it's not like he could even really have turned around as Riku woke up--he had nowhere else to look without sitting really awkwardly! :| Creeper!

I kind of started shipping Ven/Namine the moment I realized it was possible that she met him or even found him in Castle Oblivion. I have this mental image that won't go away of her finding the room he's in and going there every day during the events of COM when she was getting abused and forced to do things and like. Using him as a diary to talk through it. Even if he can't reply. Aww. ;_; (god there i go with my head canon again aaaugh.) But seriously, they'd be so cute. D:

Yeah. 8D; I sat down after I beat KH3D expecting to draw something epic that appropriately got across how cool the final bosses and stuff were and ended up with that. Close enough, right?

And I can totally relate with the Re:Coded thing. I mean, I got it because I expected it to be decent... but I very nearly considered buying that DS game bundle that came out in Japan when 3DS did because it came with pretty art cards and I would've gotten a Japanese copy of Re:Coded. (That and COM are the only games I don't own in both English and Japanese.) Luckily, my roommates told me how dumb that was considering how out of my way I go to discourage people from playing it and I didn't. xD;;

Agreeed. I'm not a huge fan of the Dearly Beloved (I don't think anything will top BBS's for sheer beauty, for me) but I do know they had to do something different with it and Yoko Shimomura succeeded. But the last tracks on the OST? I love them so much. Especially the final boss fights, hhhnnng. They're amazing.

One thing I wasn't a huuuge fan of, though, was the Calling mix. D: Calling was my favourite song from TWEWY and I think it's kind of weird as a slower song like it is in KH3D. It was still okay but just not really my thing, which was kind of disappointing since I usually love remixes.

I agree. The original version was the best.

I also found the remixes to be really distracting in KH. Part of it was probably that I hadn't heard them before they showed up in the game, but they used them as BGM for the cutscenes. :s So I'd be sitting there trying to translate everything and I'd miss out on the pronunciation of some words and have to look up the kanji instead because all I could hear were the lyrics to the BGM instead. So that... kind of sucked. XD; I did really like the Twister mix though.

Aww, man, I feel bad because every post I'm just like "WELL IN MY HEAD CANON..." but seriously I spend my days just thinking about all this stuff so I have a lot of head canon. But anyway! In my head canon, Sora hears all the voices in his head and all Vanitas ever manages to do are silly things like yelling out random numbers while Sora's trying to do a math test or flipping the Command Board whenever the people-in-Sora's-heart try to play it. Because they totally do that in their spare time. Since they probably, you know, have a lot of it. Ven would teach them how to play. And since he's absolutely horrible at it, no one would actually know how to play so I guess the board-flipping would kind of backfire on Vanitas anyway. He merged part of his heart with Sora. Sora. So he can't be that evil anymore. :P

...I think your headcanon is the best headcanon XD omg I can just see poor Ven getting all flustered trying to explain the Command Board to everyone and they're just like "DOES. NOT. COMPUTE." and vanitas seriously freaks me out a little bit he was a ven stalker and really really psycho. Dunno how

Spoiler:

ven's darkness was so vast that it made him

but gah. The entire thing confuses me ;_;

Spoiler:

Haha, DiZ creeps me out so I was amused when Riku made the joke and then switched to "DDDD:" when DiZ started laughing too. Maaan I think I dislike him almost as much as MX. ;_;' But omg Sora is such a trooper. He realizes he spent his entire Mark of Mastery exam asleep, doesn't become a Keyblade Master after everything he's done, and still gets more excited about Riku getting the title than Riku was. ;~; And I pretty much died when Riku wakes up from diving into Sora's heart and Sora's having a tea party without him. And Lea was being really creepy and sitting on the chair doing nothing but watching Riku sleep. And he was sitting on it backwards so it's not like he could even really have turned around as Riku woke up--he had nowhere else to look without sitting really awkwardly! :| Creeper!

DiZ isn't my favorite character either. Like he was really really mean to Roxas and Namine even though nami isn't really my favorite character either but i ship her with ven because THAT IS CUTE In KHII he was all OMG YOU DON'T EXIST and I was like "really 'cause i just played the longest prologue ever as someone who according to you doesn't exist you idiot" omg I just felt so bad for Sora omg. When

Spoiler:

YMX put him to sleep or whatever he did i was like NO NO YOU STOP THAT RIGHT THIS INSTANT and jesus. I thought it was kind of cute that Sora called out for Riku right before he fell unconscious. Oh Sora, you're just providing fuel for the fangirls, sweetie. it was really cute though omg and omg I was so proud of him for taking it so well and being so happy for Riku. and Riku was all 0_0 he really couldn't believe it the sweetheart XD MASTER RIKU <3 Creeper!Lea is the only Lea, lol. Remember he was all creeper-ry to Ven in BbS XD

Spoiler:

I kind of started shipping Ven/Namine the moment I realized it was possible that she met him or even found him in Castle Oblivion. I have this mental image that won't go away of her finding the room he's in and going there every day during the events of COM when she was getting abused and forced to do things and like. Using him as a diary to talk through it. Even if he can't reply. Aww. ;_; (god there i go with my head canon again aaaugh.) But seriously, they'd be so cute. D:

As previously mentioned, your headcanon is the best headcanon. I read a fanfic like that once, only

Spoiler:

Ven could talk to her through her mind or somesuch, and she didn't actually get into the room, and she only met him once, and asdfjkl VENXNAMI OTP

Yeah. 8D; I sat down after I beat KH3D expecting to draw something epic that appropriately got across how cool the final bosses and stuff were and ended up with that. Close enough, right?

That is fantastic. Because all we care about is the Ventus.

Spoiler:

Omg you should draw a picture of Ven'sArmor!Sora vs Riku if you're looking for something to get across how cool the final bosses are. I've heard people going on about how cool YMX is and how much of a letdown Ven'sArmor!Sora is and I'm like "IT'S VEN. DENIED!" besides the vids I saw of the battle made it look epic and awesome and asdfjkl. THE ARMOR FIGHTS WITH VEN'S STYLE ASDFJKL I SWEAR I SAW AIR FLAIR AND FEVER PITCH IN THERE SOMEWHERE

And I can totally relate with the Re:Coded thing. I mean, I got it because I expected it to be decent... but I very nearly considered buying that DS game bundle that came out in Japan when 3DS did because it came with pretty art cards and I would've gotten a Japanese copy of Re:Coded. (That and COM are the only games I don't own in both English and Japanese.) Luckily, my roommates told me how dumb that was considering how out of my way I go to discourage people from playing it and I didn't. xD;;

I, on the other hand, already knew it was crap and only got it because I wanted the complete series. i have no life D; Like, the existence of Dream Drop Distance completely spoils Re:coded's secret ending. It also spoils the ending of BbS but that is an excellent game so it doesn't really matter :D

NOTHING WILL EVER TOP DEARLY BELOVED BBS VERSION. IT IS THE UNSURPASSED AND UNSURPASSABLE PINNACLE OF KH MUSIC I love the final boss theme of 3D though.

Spoiler:

It needed more Sora's theme though. And more Ven's theme. XD

[ToriSora]

I wonder if FF Versus will have a release date announced at E3. I'm guessing 2021 XD TBH with how things are going I would not be shocked.... It was announced in 2006 right?

Uh-huh. ;_; They said so in the KH3D Ultimania interview. Worst part is they said they have the story all there and everything, they just... aren't doing it?? So I guess it'll be tossed in as random cutscenes through KH3 or something instead, I dunno. I am disappointed.

...I think your headcanon is the best headcanon XD omg I can just see poor Ven getting all flustered trying to explain the Command Board to everyone and they're just like "DOES. NOT. COMPUTE." and vanitas seriously freaks me out a little bit he was a ven stalker and really really psycho. Dunno how

but gah. The entire thing confuses me ;_;

Thank you~ xD; I imagine they'd just make up rules as they went along when Ven wouldn't remember something, to the CB they play is probably waaaay different from the one we play in BBS.

Spoiler:

I think Vanitas's darkness is so massive because the abuse MX put Ven through before he split them. :( I haven't played Ven's story as much as the others but while he was "training", wasn't he pretty much mauled by Neoshadows at some point? I imagine all his training was like that and it would probably be really hard to not turn to the darkness with MX yelling at you to do it the whole time. So after the split, the natural darkness he had plus whatever had accumulated during the training, plus any darkness that might creep in from MX when he split them was probably more than enough to make Vanitas (who probably got further training in the dark arts from then on [I shouldn't have used the phrase "dark arts", now I'm considering harry potter AUs augh]). I might be all wrong if I have any of the initial details wrong though, which is possible. xD;

DiZ isn't my favorite character either. Like he was really really mean to Roxas and Namine even though nami isn't really my favorite character either but i ship her with ven because THAT IS CUTE In KHII he was all OMG YOU DON'T EXIST and I was like "really 'cause i just played the longest prologue ever as someone who according to you doesn't exist you idiot" omg I just felt so bad for Sora omg.

Remember he was all creeper-ry to Ven in BbS XD

He was horrible to Namine. I mean, she gets out of Marluxia's grasp and you think "oh, everything's going to be okay now" and then DiZ is just as bad. ;_; She's doing her best to fix Sora and he's bossing her around, telling her how much she doesn't matter, and telling her to go faster. I mean, I'm kind of a hypocrite because Marluxia's my favourite so I never had a problem with his abuse (well, not that I didn't have a problem, I just... like it as part of his character I DON'T KNOW) but at least she had someone to save her there. ;~; But there, Namine and Riku both knew that they needed DiZ's protection while they fixed Sora or the Organization would probably cause problems so there was nothing they could do and alkdjs. Poor Namine. I didn't like her as much in KH2 because she became so all-knowing which was kind of annoying (since she also never tells anyone anything 8|) and I hated that they tried to make everyone ship Roxas/Namine for pretty much no reason at all (I still don't understand it). On the whole, I really like her though. I like pretty much everyone. Except Riku. Although even that changed sliiightly after 3D.

Spoiler:

Oh man, I kind of feel like KH3D is practically just one big Riku/Sora fanfic. Which sucks because I've never shipped them. XD; As soon as Riku wakes up at the end after saving Sora, Sora tackle-hugs him and pretty much doesn't let go until Yen Sid calls them over to announce the results of the Mastery exam. 8| Then the sheer trust between them in pretty much every scene where they have to talk/think about one another... yeah. It's gonna make a loooooot of fangirls happy.

You're right though, Lea's always been a creeper. xD; It shouldn't have surprised me.

Then a few days later I got that image of her talking to him in C.O. or whatever and my roommate was so ashamed of me when I had to admit that I shipped it. XD; I mean, not that he was surprised because I ship everything but I usually have a reason slightly better than "I imagined them in the same room." Usually.

That is fantastic. Because all we care about is the Ventus.

Spoiler:

Omg you should draw a picture of Ven'sArmor!Sora vs Riku if you're looking for something to get across how cool the final bosses are.

DENIED!" besides the vids I saw of the battle made it look epic and awesome and asdfjkl. THE ARMOR FIGHTS WITH VEN'S STYLE ASDFJKL I SWEAR I SAW AIR FLAIR AND FEVER PITCH IN THERE SOMEWHERE

Also true!

Spoiler:

Maaan I suck at action images but that is one of the things I wanted to draw. n_n Honestly, the Armour fight was kind of a let down because it was super easy. (Sora sucks at fighting backhand, I guess. XD) I think it took me two tries whereas YMX took like 15. I liked the YMX one more since I fought MF sooo many times in BBS and got so familiar with the music T because Terra SUCKS at dodging so I probably spent like 6 hours listening to that BGM trying to beat him with Terra and hearing that remixed, finding out who MF was, and fighting a harder version of him was exhilarating and few things have matched that feeling for me in the KH series.

Plus, as I said, the whole time I was fighting the Armour I was just pissed off because it felt so tacked-on and I knew they were gonna have to give me one damn good reason Ven had turned evil in Sora's heart. But it wasn't a bad fight at all. He definitely uses Ven's attacks and while I never used Ven a whole lot in BBS compared to the others (Terra I had to use more because he sucks and I did completion on Normal for him, so I had to play through again and Aqua's my favourite so I have like a million files for her 8D), I still recognized his attacks instantly. So it was really cool fighting him like that. It felt a lot like the end of Terra's story in BBS after MX takes over his body and you fight him as Terra's Armour. It felt more like fighting Terra than MX because he was using Terra's fighting style, shot locks, command finishers, etc. That's kind of what this is like. (So now I'm just waiting for a dark!Aqua fight somehow. Although the premise of that sounds really depressing, like she finally gave into the darkness or something, so now maybe I don't want it. XD)

Oh, and I'm pretty sure Ven'sArmor!Sora used shotlocks too. :D That was pretty exciting, I'm not gonna lie.

I, on the other hand, already knew it was crap and only got it because I wanted the complete series. i have no life D; Like, the existence of Dream Drop Distance completely spoils Re:coded's secret ending. It also spoils the ending of BbS but that is an excellent game so it doesn't really matter :D

Well, I still can't fault you there. People have asked me why I don't just sell my copy of Re:Coded if I hate it so much--since I could've gotten a decent price for it back when it first came out--and I looked at them like they were insane. Have an incomplete KH collection? Are they crazy? (I am now coming to the realization though that if I don't buy 3DS in English--despite not even having an English 3DS--I won't own all the games in English. x_o DILEMMA. Maybe I should buy it and play it on my roommate's 3DS when he's done with the game.)

Also the ending of BBS is mostly spoilt by its trailer, so that can't be much of a complaint. (I mean, we don't get details but just from the trailer and the fact that it's a prequel and we've never seen the characters before kind of confirmed that nothing good came of the ending. ;~;)

NOTHING WILL EVER TOP DEARLY BELOVED BBS VERSION. IT IS THE UNSURPASSED AND UNSURPASSABLE PINNACLE OF KH MUSIC I love the final boss theme of 3D though.

Spoiler:

It needed more Sora's theme though. And more Ven's theme. XD

/wall of text

The Dearly Beloveds get steadily better until BBS. KH1's is very simple, COM adds a few more notes in, KH2 improves it again, Re:COM was another improvement, and then I thought nothing could top Days' version and then BBS was like "OH YEAH? HAVE SOME VIOLINS" and I died. ;~; I love it so, so much. So I was really excited for Re:Coded's version of it expecting the trend to continue and it was just like "nope, have a boring one". O-oh. Okay. But 3DS's is probably my second favourite just because it's something new and it's still very pretty.

It's hard for me to pick a favourite boss fight music from 3D. I like all of them so much. ;~;

Spoiler:

Xemnas's new one is great, even Ansem's brings something new to the theme which has been in like every KH since the first one. xD; YMX's is probably my favourite if I had to pick one but I also really love Armor!Sora's because of all the themes it ties into the Dive to Heart music.

...yuuup. 8| I doubt they'll have a release date at E3 but I'm hoping we'll get one at Tokyo Game Show in September. :( I think the only S-E game that's ever gotten a release date/window at E3 that didn't already have one in Japan was FF14 and that... didn't go so well. XD;

God, I really want it to get a release date, though. I'm so tired of waiting that I'm not even excited for the game anymore. :(

[Cid]

Whoa I missed a lot after leaving for four days, hahaha. You guys make this FC really bustling.

@Ultimania
Gah, I hate this decision they made so much, too. I mean, why even bother with a Final Mix and a Secret Ending (which is totally the point of the Final Mix, aside from more BBS goodness) if you're not going to take it seriously? I really wish Nomura was just kidding with his wry laughs and all. D:

@Ven trying to explain the Command Board
That's really funny to visualize, hahaha. Yeah I never had the impression that Ven was good at it judging from the adorably dumb AI.

Spoiler:

I always thought Master Xehanort put a little of himself into Ven's darkness, but who knows, maybe Ven had a really dark past. If MX deed put his seed in Vanitas (Oh God that sounds so wrong) then maybe we'll be seeing him as one of the thirteen darknesses or something. Why does MX remind me so much of Voldemort?

Or this one, I think this is a more correct explanation. XD

@DiZ, Nami, Lea etc.
Yeah I hated DiZ after what he did to Roxas and Namine. I thought he was awesome in CoM but yeah, KHII ruined him. Namine was really one of my favourite characters, she arguably had more development than Kairi. But yeah, I did find it off when she started being this ghostly presence for Roxas and everyone else in KHII.

Spoiler:

Goodness, I just watched that scene Sakura described now and I just wanted to get Sora out of there, gah. And the ending was really awkward but funny all the same. I wish they gave Kairi more of a role in the game, though! D: But yeah, in the ending Sora was still really happy-go-lucky which was odd, but I loved how he appeared when he looked into the distance as he set-off on his own, like he was all grown up like never before or something. And whoa, I just realized how creepy Lea was in that scene.

@Ven x Nami
Lightning's headcanon is pretty darn awesome, haha. And I'd be okay with a Ven x Namine ship because the poor girl seems to have no chance to be with Sora (even though she obviously likes Sora more than she's supposed to judging CoM, yes Namine from KHII is not valid because it doesn't feel right when she's all sweet with Roxas at all), and it would make good history of her finding out about Ventus, Terra and Aqua.

Spoiler:

She knew from the Re:Coded ending remember? I don't think it's just DiZ ordering her to tell Sora as her Data self, I think she actually heard about it from Ven in CO.

@KH3D Final Boss

Spoiler:

I don't understand why the final boss was exactly a letdown when that fight was a complete 180 degree reversal of the Sora vs Riku fight except Ven's fighting style is used but! Sora's still in the armor isn't he? I guess it is Ven. It did look really awesome and epic, not disappointing at all. And Lightning describes it as really awesome.

@Re:Coded and KH soundtrack
I thought Re:Coded was decent for its well-designed gameplay. Just not on-par with the rest of the series. But yeah, that's true the secret ending is basically useless now. And BBS really is a great game, I absolutely loved its Dearly Beloved too (I just listen to it randomly and just feel all dreamy and in the KH mood). Yeah, btw Sakura if you're looking for a final boss theme with the stuff you wanted more in the spoiler, look no further than the soundtrack for Ven's final boss in BBS. Some awesome music right there.

I actually want them to just announce either that game or KHIII already since it's taking such a long time for them to release even just a glimpse of the game. And yes it was announced alongside FFXIII, and that makes me wonder, aren't the Osaka teams making FF Versus XIII and KHIII one and the same?

- - -

I actually tried multiple quotes but the post had more quotes than my replies so I made it the way it is now instead. XD

[ToriSora]

Watch KH3D Final Mix come out next year XD

[Cid]

Well, they did mention this in the KH3D Ultimania (Nomura interview):

-- KH3D FM?

Nomura: Maybe in a few years, but no plans for it right now. The Osaka team is really busy.

That might signify good news for Versus XIII fans if they're the same team making the game. Work is being done in the game, possibly just in time for E3 2012! Good news for KHIII fans, too, since we'll see the comparable quality that KHIII will be if it's ever released in the same console. I want HD KHIII. :D

Thank you~ xD; I imagine they'd just make up rules as they went along when Ven wouldn't remember something, to the CB they play is probably waaaay different from the one we play in BBS.

How dare you yell at Ven, MX I will break your nose and arms and ribs and whatever else occurs to me. And yeah, he wouldn't fight the Neoshadows and they all jumped on him and knocked him out and this is when the cutscene we discussed earlier takes place (Creation of Vanitas, blank-eyes Ven) and ICK OLD MAN DARKNESS SDLFKSDFJL. and now I'm sort of wondering if Vanitas is going to be one of the new Nortys, asdfjkl. I don't see how this could happen unless Vanitas is somehow separated from Ven, though.ohgod you shouldn't have DON'T MIX THE TWO TOGETHER IT ONLY COMPLICATES MATTERS

He was horrible to Namine.

Ohgod he was. I was going "CHILD ABUSE! CHILD ABUSE! CALL CHILDREN'S SERVICES PLEASE" but yeah. Marluxia sort of did the same thing but he's a bad guy I guess it is part of his character to be sadistic and mean and yeah so it's amazing that someone who is apparently a "good guy" would treat someone like that. jesus. Diz I am disappoint.

Spoiler:

and wasn't Data-Namine all-knowing as well? Like she knew about Xion and the BbS trio, didn't she? I like Riku, except in KHI, for obvious reasons. He's angsty in CoM/Days all the way up to the end of KHII but I think he really improved in Dream Drop Distance so I was proud of him okay

Spoiler:

Oh man, I kind of feel like KH3D is practically just one big Riku/Sora fanfic. Which sucks because I've never shipped them. XD; As soon as Riku wakes up at the end after saving Sora, Sora tackle-hugs him and pretty much doesn't let go until Yen Sid calls them over to announce the results of the Mastery exam. 8| Then the sheer trust between them in pretty much every scene where they have to talk/think about one another... yeah. It's gonna make a loooooot of fangirls happy.

You're right though, Lea's always been a creeper. xD; It shouldn't have surprised me.

Spoiler:

I often call both KH3D and Re:coded "Soriku: The Game". Because they both really are lol. And that hug that hug I was loling so hard and then there was the part where Riku was trying to wake Sora up and he grabbed his hand and Sora heard Riku in his dream and I was like "I CAN HEAR THE CRIES OF THE FANGIRLS" and I sort of started shipping them after KH3D please don't judge me I COULDN'T HELP IT XD;

Yep, creeper is Lea's default state of being XD

I am thinking that this fanfic needs to be linked to me asap. :( It's funny, 'cause the first few times I'd come across all the Ven/Namine fanart on Tumblr, my roommate and I were just like "WTF".

Spoiler:

Well, considering my INTENSE HATRED for anything Xehanort-related and my love and feels for Ven, I would probably like Ven'sArmor!Sora more, entirely because it's Ven's armor XD. On the other hand, though, DAT DARK IMPETUS REMIX. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR THOSE STRINGS asdfjkl. and I suppose they didn't want to put two tough bosses right in a row, so they toned down Ven'sArmor!Sora a bit (lol poor Sora doesn't know how to fight backhand XD) So since Ven is obviously my favorite and I have over 9000 files for him, I will definitely recognize his attacks? Because as I've previously mentioned, low quality cutscenes are the devil and I really couldn't see what he was doing D8 NOOOOOOO AQUA WILL NEVER GIVE IN TO DARKNESS. Maybe a possessed!Aqua fight? Aquanort? XEHANORTTTTTTTTT D:<

Yesssss this is entirely me. MUST HAVE COMPLETE COLLECTION. (...I am going to assume getting an english 3DS is out of the question? in that case yeah I would just borrow it from someone else. Butbut then you won't own it for yourself and asdfjkl THAT CAN'T HAPPEN DX)

Also the ending of BBS is mostly spoilt by its trailer, so that can't be much of a complaint. (I mean, we don't get details but just from the trailer and the fact that it's a prequel and we've never seen the characters before kind of confirmed that nothing good came of the ending. ;~;)

BbS was one gigantic cry/rage/bawl-fest. This is the complete and undeniable truth. ;__________________;

The Dearly Beloveds get steadily better until BBS. KH1's is very simple, COM adds a few more notes in, KH2 improves it again, Re:COM was another improvement, and then I thought nothing could top Days' version and then BBS was like "OH YEAH? HAVE SOME VIOLINS" and I died. ;~; I love it so, so much. So I was really excited for Re:Coded's version of it expecting the trend to continue and it was just like "nope, have a boring one". O-oh. Okay. But 3DS's is probably my second favourite just because it's something new and it's still very pretty.

I think Re:coded's is supposed to resemble KHI's. For some reason. Even though it's set long after KHI. It just reminded me of KHI's okay ;_; and yeah the BbS version and Days version and 3D version are all the best but BbS is the super best asdfjkl

It's hard for me to pick a favourite boss fight music from 3D. I like all of them so much. ;~;

Spoiler:

Xemnas's new one is great, even Ansem's brings something new to the theme which has been in like every KH since the first one. xD; YMX's is probably my favourite if I had to pick one but I also really love Armor!Sora's because of all the themes it ties into the Dive to Heart music.

Spoiler:

Xemnas' is fantastic, and the boss music from the Tron:Legacy world is spectacular but all of them need moar Ven's Theme or at least Ven'sArmor!Sora does because I mean come on humor the Ven fangirl just a bit please ;_;

Whoa I missed a lot after leaving for four days, hahaha. You guys make this FC really bustling.

most of mine and Lightning's posts are Ven fangirling, pay us no mind dear XD

Spoiler:

Goodness, I just watched that scene Sakura described now and I just wanted to get Sora out of there, gah. And the ending was really awkward but funny all the same. I wish they gave Kairi more of a role in the game, though! D: But yeah, in the ending Sora was still really happy-go-lucky which was odd, but I loved how he appeared when he looked into the distance as he set-off on his own, like he was all grown up like never before or something. And whoa, I just realized how creepy Lea was in that scene.

Spoiler:

ohgod i know right? YMX is every bit as creepy as MX, kljfslkfj. I was hoping Riku or Mickey would come swooping in out of nowhere to save the day but no. YMX just goes "Goodnight, Sora." And I was like LKSDJ:FSDLFJSDLKGHSDLKFJSDLK XEHANORTTTTTTTTTTT and I think the secret ending had Kairi in it she apparently is going to be training to use the keyblade under Master Yen Sid! apparently. who knows if nomura will go through with it, lol. I REPEAT: Creeper!Lea is the only Lea. XD

Watch KH3D Final Mix come out next year XD

I would lol forever
