You know the Disney company is in real trouble when a video game, of all things, is what actually reminds people of the good old days when Walt was still in charge and their projects still had that 'Disney charm'. Well, discuss the series that made some of us realize just what trash Eisner had been tossing at us here.

About Kingdom Hearts?
Well...I love it! :lol:
Maybe the last good game from Square-Enix with a good story.
*Watches KH2 - Final Mix: Secret Ending* =P
-
I've always wanted to play Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, but since I never got into Sony's consoles, I never got to play it.
However, I see a saving grace coming. There is word that the next Kingdom Hearts will have Mario in it. If this is true, Nintendo will stop at nothing to ensure it comes ONLY to the Wii. :)
Here's hoping. :^.^:
-
Kingdom Hearts is easily one of my favourite RPGs ever! I mean, c'mon! The mechanics of Square's infamous RPG Final Fantasy clashed head on with the wonderful world of Disney?! What MORE could you ask for?! :lol The chemistry is perfect! :DD Still awaiting news on the possibility of the director's cut version hitting English shelves. KH2 Final Mix + has a few more videos, more boss fights, a new drive form, a couple new keyblades and a complete 3D remake of the GBA game Chain of Memories! At the moment, it's all in Japanese (but with English voice acting) so unless you know your "wasabi" from your "shoshimi", you're gonna get a bit stuck :unsure: It's available for import but I think it's currently region 4 only (as I've been told) so unless you've got an Asian PS2 or a chipped one, we could all end up bitterly disappointed. :(
-
I love Kingdom Hearts. I've played and beaten both games, and so has my sister. My brother has yet to beat the first game.
-
Oh man, I absolutely love the Kingdom Hearts series. I own all of the games including the Final Mix versions of the first and second one. I even collect the manga XD
Oh, and Pokeplayer, I'm sorry to dissapoint you but that rumor of a Kingdom Hearts with Mario was nothing but an April Fools joke. Would've been sweet though.
-
Yeah, I saw that Mario version of Kingdom Hearts. It was made as a joke. It'll never come into existance.
To be honest, I don't think I would have liked that version of Kingdom Hearts anyway. I have nothing against Mario. It's just that I feel Kingdom Hearts shouldn't be changed from what it was meant to be.
-
Ah! Kingdom Hearts!
Since I don't have a PS2, I'm just plain happy if I could play the GBA version. When I first saw that game, I was awestruck by seeing Disney chars there. I want to play that game beccause of that (the Disney characters). Wether is the GBA version or not, but I wanna play it.
-
By far my favorite series along side the Mario series. The story is just simply incredible, and the game is fun to boot. Ever since its realease back in 2001 I fell in love with it. I first heard about it on T.V, and I was so excited to have a video game where you can play through Disney movies as a completely new different character and have him change the Disney movies around. The funny thing is when I first heard about it I misread the title and thought it was called, "The Kingdom of Hearts." XD All of the games were awesome, albeit I didn't like the battle system for Chain of Memories that well, but the story was still awesome! The new KH game will be announced at the Tokyo Game Show, but it will not be Kingdom Hearts III, but rather a game that chronicles the other characters from the series such as Roxas and the three knights from the ending. I own 1, 2, COM, and the first Final Mix.
Yeah, about the whole deal with Mario in the game, that was an April fools joke for a game called "Mushroom Kingdom Hearts." If that was an actually game I think I'd have a heart attack. XD However, I actually wrote a story that retells the story of KH with Nintendo characters instead of Disney characters. KH will always be the best!
-
Hehe. Come to think of it, I saw some kid in school today playing the game on his cell phone. Looked kinda cool. :D

You mean the mobile version of Kingdom Hearts? I thought that game was canceled after a couple of chapters that they have done.
-
Oh, yeah! I forgot about that cell phone one! That one looked decent, but I thought Sora's face looked a little creepy on the title screen. XD
-
Oh yeah, it definitely is a great series. I also love it because its not turn based (I can't stand turn based RPGs, unless they're tabletop).
My favorite characters would have to be the main trio. The chemistry between Sora, Donald, and Goofy is almost too much! :lol: And the scary thing is, you don't know who the sane one is out of that lot, because Sora's been the most loopy of the three at times!
-
What is turn-based?
-
Turned based RPG's are when you take turns in attacking one another in an RPG. First you attack and then you have to wait until your opponent attacks, or in Final Fantasy Games you have to wait until a meter goes up before you can attack.
-
I think it's like in the original PokÈmon RPG games (Red, Blue, etc.), where one player got to make a move, and then the next player made a move.
-
Precisely. That was always "bleh" to me, because you were standing there taking damage without being able to dodge at will.

Great news everyone! Some screen shots of the next Kingdom Hearts games have just been realeased. We'll be getting more info and hopefully a trailer at the Tokyo game show in two days. Here's the link the website that has the pictures: Kingdom Hearts Ultimania (http://www.kh2.co.uk)
From my perspective of the two pictures, the one with Roxas and Axel seems pretty straightforward (considering that one of the new KH games would also go more in depth about Roxas' time at Org. 13) While the other one is slightly confusing, considering that the only time KH1 Sora and King Mickey met was during the end of the first game...unless maybe Sora did meet the King during KH1, and Square-Enix made no reference to it. Either way, Square sure has a way with playing with our heads when it comes to Kingdom Hearts. XD Anyways, the Tokyo Game Show begins Thursday, so be sure to check out the website for updates fellow Kingdom Hearts fans.

Hahah, I saw that yesterday! I'm psyched about it too!
In fact, there are rumors about a KH coming for the PS3, PSP and DS. These are just rumors though but they do discourage me, I never plan on getting a PS3 unless it gets a huge price drop and some good games and I don't want a PSP. XP
Hopefully the DS KH game rumor is true.
-
Um, guys, Sony pissed Square off. There are going to be no more PS KH titles. the one's going to the Wii.

Did they? What are your sources of that statement? I just made a search about it and all I'm finding are rumors of Kingdom Hearts going to the Wii.

When did you hear about this? I don't remember hearing Square say that. In fact, Square could not wait to put their games on the PS3 from what I heard.
Also, the three games have been offically announced. The first is called Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PSP.
The second one is Kingdom Hearts 358/2 for the DS. (Yeah, I went WTF when I saw the title XD)
And the third is a moble game called Kingdom Hearts: Coded. (Aw! Why did they have to make a moble game that is relative to the game? XD)
Anyways, we'll hopefully get a trailers of these new games soon.
-
I'm having a hard time believing the next KH game will only come on the Wii.
-
KingdomKey23 is right, the three Kingdom Hearts titles have been announced:
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP)
- Single-Player Adventure Game
- Features: Terra, Aqua, Ven, Master Xehanort, Sora & Riku
- Oylmpus Coliseum & Sleeping Beauty are Confirmed Worlds
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (Nintendo DS)
- Single & Multiplayer 3D Adventure Game
- Playable Roxas & Org. XIII Members (Axel, Saix & Xigbar)
- New Characters inc. 14th Org. Member (Female)
Kingdom Hearts: Coded (Mobile)
- Single-Player Game (inc. Puzzle Elements)
- Set between Kingdom Hearts 1/2
- Features Destiny Islands & Traverse Town
Well, I'm glad we're going to have a DS KH game, and the PSP game sounds interesting. But mobile? O.o
I mean, I know mobile games in Japan are pretty impressive (There's going to be a Resident Evil 4: Mobile Edition for pete's sakes) but are they really this good? Wow o.O
According to what I read of the mobile game, it's said to have an unlimited range of Disney worlds. God will I be angry if it's going to have a Brother Bear world and I won't be able to even play it! XD
-
You know what would be awesome? If the mutiplayer in KH: 358/2 was online play. You could get four friends from across the world together to play as the Org members. That would be cool!

That would be the best! Doing missions with you guys X3

This is all news to me! :unsure: All I was aware of was KH3 on PS3 (to which I somehow doubt Square Enix would suddenly throw a paddy and move over to the Wii). Still, this is good news to hear! :D A multiplayer KH sounds wickid and as you guys already said, Wi-Fi linkup would be even better! :DD Anything online anywhere regarding these new KH spinoffs? Vids, previews...anything? Will be greatly appreciated! ;)

There aren't any trailers for it out as far as I know, only trailer summaries and information about them.
KINGDOM HEARTS: BIRTH BY SLEEP (PSP)
Story & Information
The legendary Keyblade is said to hold phenomenal power.
Some legends say that long ago, its wielder saved the world, while some say that he brought chaos and ruin upon it.
(Ansem Report 8)
Before Sora gained the Keyblade, there were many "Keyblade Masters" in the world.
One of those Masters, Master Xehanort, and his only disciple suddenly disappears, an omen of the great disaster that would subsequently erupt.
And as soon as one Master realises this, he tells his three disciples that they must track down Master Xehanort at all costs...
This is a story of awakening, one which connects to the grand beginning of the Kingdom Hearts story.
The PSP's high-level graphics ability is taken to its very limits.
A new set of three protagonists compose three different scenarios.
The controls, system and graphics follow those of the series so far, while at the same time bringing a whole new feeling to the system!
Directed by Tetsuya Nomura & Tomohiro Hasegawa
Trailer Summary
Video begins by showing scenes of the ending of "Kingdom Hearts 1", Soon the text "Deep Past" comes up, to be followed by "Shut-Eyes gives birth to the concealed fate"
Scene cuts to an area featuring the boy who looks like Roxas, Ven, talking to a young male with black hair, the area seeming to be like "Hollow Bastion". The boy soon calls the young male "Ven." The scene continuously changes before showing the Old Man that is seen in the Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ Secret Ending.
The old man's name is "Master Xehanort" and "Master Xehanort" calls the young boy "Terra". Soon Terra summons the keyblade into his hand.
Soon some worlds are shown, such as "Olympus Coliseum" and a new world, which resembles that of Sleeping Beauty is shown, confirming it's existence.
The scene then changes to Terra fighting against the mysterious dark male, who looks like he's in a bicycle suit, also from the secret ending. Terra manages to knock off the helmet, but his face isn't shown.
The scene soon moves to King Mickey summoning his Keyblade. Soon the scene begins to change rapidly, and Terra is at a beach, watching two boys playing before resting his sword into the grove. The two boys soon begin to become more visible, and it looks like Sora and Riku playing at the beach.
Finally, Terra says..
"Please don't depend on me, just erase me...friend"
KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS (Nintendo DS)
Story & Information
Twilight Town.
As always, Roxas and Axel are watching the sun from the clock tower.
Their mission as members of the Organization: find and destroy Heartless, and collect their hearts.
And at the end of that mission, they always meet up at that clock tower, eat ice-cream together and chat about the day's missions.
"Do you know why the evening sun is red? It's because light has lots of colours, and of all of those, red reaches us from the furthest away."
"What're you getting all proud about, Axel?"
Two who should not have hearts, continuing to engage in their exclusive conversation.
This is the untold story of Roxas's time in Organization XIII...
In single player mode, go and explore all of the Disney worlds! Then in multiplayer mode, go and do missions with your friends!
Directed by Tetsuya Nomura & Tai Yasue
Trailer summary
The trailer starts from the scene where re:COM ended, afterwards the words "The other side attached to Sora still sleeps" and "The mind comes back whenever they touch." The scene then moves to Twilight Town, where Roxas, and Axel are sitting on the edge, as seen in KH2FM+.
Soon the trailer switches to Roxas being invited to the Organization XIII, and introduced to them, which soon cuts out to another scene of Roxas joining the Organization for the first time. Soon the scene then switches to the King talking about Axel, and Saix with Roxas pulling out his keyblade, moving into gameplay.
The gameplay features Roxas fighting with other Organization Members in a multiplayer game. This one confirms the allowance of being able to play as Roxas, Axel, Saix and Xigbar.
The scene then switches to Xemnas talking towards other Organization members. Xemnas explains that a 14th member has joined the Organization, and the 14th member appears to be a female, wearing a black hood. Soon the title comes up as "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days"
You can then hear Roxas in the background saying "I will disappear from this world in 151 days"
KINGDOM HEARTS: CODED (Mobile)
Story & Information
This story revolves around a single fragment of Jiminy Cricket's "Jiminy Memo".
Following the events of "Kingdom Hearts II", Jiminy returns to Disney Castle. Jiminy has been reading his memo along the way, and a single page makes him stop in his tracks.
This page contains a mysterious message:
"We have to go back, to heal their pain."
But no matter how much he racks his brains, he can't remember what the page is referring to.
The King turns the Jiminy into data, and begin to investigate. And in a world traced by the Jiminy Memo, the Destiny Islands, a sleeping boy awakens.
Thus Sora's new adventure in the Data World begins.
An unlimited range of Disney worlds, distributed to your mobile phone.
An adventure spanning across many diverse, rich Disney worlds.
A new system and new graphics put high-end mobile phones on the same level as game consoles!
Our first collaboration with Disney's Internet division, the Disney Internet Group.
Trailer summary
First thing that was shown, was the ending of Kingdom Hearts II, afterwards the text "The secret ending is solved, and the worlds still extend" Is shown, and then the words "Flow" is shown.
The video then officially begins with Jiminy Cricket looking at his journal, the words "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" pop-up. He then notices something he did not right in his journal "You need to return, to heal the wounds" Jiminy Cricket then rushes to report to King Mickey. Mickey who is startled by this only replies with "Only he is the one who can solve it." The scene soon changes to Sora standing in Destiny Islands, in Kingdom Hearts 1. However Sora only appears in the form of computer data that is being transmitted.
After the image, the game soon changes to a battle scene. Heartless are attacking, and the gameplay mechanic seems odd, as Sora appears to be moving pies of blocks making it a puzzle game in a sense. Soon the command "Debugging" comes up. When this command is clicked, Sora moves at high speed, and vanishes as well. The scene soon changes to Sora being in Traverse Town with Mickey (As seen in the latest scans) With Mickey saying "I was here on that day." and then "Let's speak truly"

You haven't heard? Sony has been intensifying the contracts used to OK game releases on their system just the way Nintendo was right when Square left them and made FFVII for the PSX, instead. These games you mentioned have been planned for along time, likely before Sony went contract crazy.
-
But you still provided no source. For all we know, the statement you have mentioned above is just part of some crazy rumor going around (and no I'm not accusing you of anything). If you have indeed found an article from an official and reliable source, then please provide the link. Until then, I'm going to dismiss this as just an unconfirmed rumor.
-
There aren't any trailers for it out as far as I know, only trailer summaries and information about them.
Well apparently, this was supposed to be blatently obvious, that the secret trailer at the end of KH2 FM+ isn't actually a trailer for KH3 as many thought (including myself)...it is in fact the trailer for the PSP KH game due soon. Hence the game title and the Text at the start of the trailer being "Birth By Sleep". The penny didn't drop for me until it was confirmed by Gamespot when the Square team revealed their upcoming titles at the latest TGS (Tokyo Game Show). Everything from the new KH spinoffs, FF13, FF Vs XIII. They were all apparently mentioned. Looks like Sqaure Enix is hitting hard next year with their RPG titles ;)

Disney characters kicking arse! I gotta play this game someday! :p
-
Someone here in the forums said that he heard a Kingdom Hearts Battle Music in one of the LBT TV Episodes.
Anyone know which one? :blink:

For some reason, I have this natural instince to stay away from anything related to Final Fantasy (Kindom Hearts included), and most other similar RPGs, as well.

So in other words, you never gave Kingdom Hearts a chance?
-
Too Disney for you, Manny? Just remember that we likely wouldn't have a lot of video games as they are without Disney's influence over young pre-adult future gamer makers' imaginations, so don't dare say that that is your reason.
-
Too Disney for you, Manny?
Mercy no. In fact, the mere idea of Kingdom Hearts (I still couldn't be bothered to try the dozen of the Final Fantasy games) is right up my ally -- a Disney crossover where Disney characters are "kicking *rse". However, even if I wanted to get these games, not only do I:- Not have a PlayStation 2
- Have a malfunctioning PlayStation original
but I must also carefully manage what games and game systems I get with my money based on my interests, what I know I will like, and what I've heard others say of other games.
