I am excited to see what they have installed for us at E3! It should be great. Do you think they'll have anymore on KH3D at E3?
Also I must say I love the music they have in KH especially the opening song in KH1 that song is fantastic. Who else loves the music square puts into their games? I think it really really fits the game and adds so much emotion to the game. <3
Most of my favourite video game OSTs are from Square-Enix games. At the very least, I don't think I've played a Square-Enix game that I didn't like the music for. :x It's almost always so fitting.
I wished Enix would have stayed away from Squaresoft, but oh well XD SO3 is alright, the previous 3 installments were the golden ones: Star Ocean and Star Ocean: The Second Story, as well as TSS spinoff game, Blue Sphere, were the real gems. It started falling apart after that. The last installment is pretty unbearable to play in comparison to the first few. But better than a lot of other games, and would seem nice to anyone who hasn't played any of the previous games.
SO:TSS was my first SO game and is still to date my current favourite game ever. No other game goes quite so in depth with story and gameplay mechanics in an RPG. They did not keep to a lot of the trends when moving to SO: TTEOT. I don't know why that is. :s
I didn't get into any S-E franchises until after the two had already merged so the merger never really affected me one way or another, I felt.
What's the battle system like in SO2? I'm... really not enjoying the battle system in SO3 now that I'm not high on painkillers and I can't blame how bad I am at it on those. I'll probably force myself to finish this but it's starting to affect my desire to go back and play the first one, nevermind buying the second one. ;_;
In KH news to boost the spirits around here (and because I love talking about it), there's been a rumor leaked from a fairly credible source who supposedly leaked the two Castlevania games ahead of time saying there's to be an HD Collection of KH, KH2, CoM, Days, and BBS released for the Wii U, PS3, and PS Vita. The rumor can be found here. It IS just a rumor, but me likey the idea of having all of them on a single console. With full HD crispness. Especially if it's going to be Final Mix versions of the games :x
Also, there's been official confirmation of returning voice actors for KH3D thanks to SE Europe, including one that many people had been led to believe would not be returning: Leonard Nimoy as Master Xehanort. Here is the link for that confirmation too :3 I for one am extremely happy Nimoy is actually back for MX. Anyone else have any thoughts?
I don't think we'll see the HD collection at E3. Not only has Square-Enix steadily been releasing info and trailers of all the things they announced would be at E3, but that just doesn't seem like an E3 announcement. The rumour going around seems to imply that the collection will be multiplatform. If it is, then I just don't know when S-E would have a window to announce it. The only way it'd be announced at E3 is to buff up one of the main-3's conferences but they'll only want to host the announcement if it's exclusive to them. So it could still happen, but I think it's more likely we'll see this sort of announcement at TGS or Jump Festa. (Also, the games they list... I don't see how they'd remake Days and not bother with Re:Coded. I mean, I wouldn't be disappointed to not have Re:Coded in the bundle but it just seems silly to port one game and not the other. If we get an HD release, I think it'll only be KH1+2+BBS with a slight possibility of Re:COM.)
AAAAH HAYDEN IS BACK. I'm so happy. I love her and I missed her talent. I'm also a bit surprised that they got Nimoy back. I was so sure they'd just go for a sound-alike after BBS since he seems like he'd be a really pricy voice actor.
Back on topic. I wanted to apologize to Erica because I still have not finished that long reply. I've read the whole post though, just don't have my thoughts of it gathered up since I'm fairly bad at this. Maybe if I get a whole day free from any binding responsibilities and requirements.
Nooo problem. XD I don't feel up to typing a reply to your reply yet anyway, so no complaints here.
Stand Alone posted that KH HD compilation rumor. I'm pretty shaky with how legitimate it is given that Vita's listed as one of the titles, but hey if this is real I'll buy a PS3 or a Wii U just so I could play. I want this game!
I don't think the Vita necessarily discounts the rumour--I just don't think it would be one of the launch consoles for the collection. The MGS HD Collection (which is what I always base my assumptions of the KH collection on) was released for Vita pretty recently so it could very well be a possibility.
I've seen that news from SE Europe! I'm happy Hayden Panettiere will be voicing Xion, here's hoping she'll be back to voice her and Kairi every time from now on! Like what Erica said, I don't like it when they get replacement VA's for her. :[
spoiler: KH3D
And I really didn't like Leonard Nimoy as MX to be quite honest.
I can't say I'm happy with him back.
......I thought I was the only one omg. :x I know Nomura specifically designed MX with Nimoy's voice in mind or something, but I just... don't like it. Maybe it's that I played BBS in Japanese first so pretty much all the English voices sound off to me but... I don't like Nimoy's voice to begin with. XD; It's too scratchy and it kind of irritates me.
Also I haven't played Star Ocean yet. I don't know if it suits me and I never really had the chance to try playing it. But I'm willing to change that. :)[/QUOTE]
I want to join!
What is your favourite series made by Square-Enix?
kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XD
Who is your favourite Kingdom Hearts character?
Ventus!
What console(s) do you hope Kingdom Hearts III will be on?
PSP!!!! PS2, PS3
Ok, here is a good side topic I thought of:
What two keyblades would you dual wield?
Oathkeeper and Oblivion!
Welcome! (Yaaay more Ven fans! :D)
Knowing me, I'd dual-wield Terra's wooden training Keyblade and like... the Wooden Sword from KH1. (Or the Stick from Days. XD) But if I had a choice and was actually good at wielding Keyblades, it'd be awesome to use Destiny's Embrace and Brightcrest. *u* They are so pretty.
Duhuhuhuhuude. Enlist.
Entrancing story lines is what I know Square Enix for, Deus Ex (Human Revolution), Hitman Absolution, The World Ends With You, & Tomb Raider, definitely are, and eventually will be my favourites. Not to mention Sleeping Dogs. Their game design and signature aesthetics for each game are just... phenomenal to me. Deus Ex: HR is one of my recent favourites and easily one of my most enjoyed games.
I really need to pick up Deus Ex one of these days. Maybe I'll watch for the series in the Steam Sale this summer, although I was planning to avoid that. I keep hearing such good things about it, though, and I feel so out of the loop having not played them. @_@
(Welcome! :D)
