And I might steal that money from you and whom ever is betting aginst you. ⌐_⌐'' But that is true, I mean why have a liscense from a Final Fantasy game and not for a KH game? If they did they'd make a large profit out of it.

Yeah, but as long as all the KH Fanboys and Fangirls are all satisfied with Kingdom Hearts Remaining on Various Sony and Nintendo consoles I really don't see that happening >_>
The only thing I'm confused about is why they didn't put Coded on PSP I mean Agito got announced for PSP also, but it's probably BBS is for PSP

True but many of fans like to see things venture from other systems. I myself included would like to see that happen. I wouldn't even mind if they sent out and app that I can add to my sidekick in order for me to play coded. If not shipping out certain phones was enough, if they wanted to they could also send out and app for certain phones to downlaod and have it played. Many fans would enjoy this, I myself included. Though your statement is not entirely true for the simple fact that a large number of fans would to see the game expade to new horizan it's just that it's more so expected to be on the PS3 rather than the 360 or Wii.

I never got around to playing Kingdom Hearts. The Disney characters thing and the big-shoed heroes and villains fighting each other with giant keys kind of turned me off to the series. Everyone I've talked to says they liked it, so I'm not saying it's a bad game by any means, I just never played it. Maybe I'll pick up KH and KH2 for $20 someday and play them before KH3 arrives. They're already making about 3 other KH games for various systems, but apparently they're not the same style of RPG.

There may be another game coming out. So KH my become an enlongated series.
Snatched from wiki:
"At the 2007 Tokyo Game Show, three new installments in the series were announced. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, focusing on Roxas, will be released for the Nintendo DS, while Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, focusing on new characters Terra, Ven, and Aqua, will be released on the PlayStation Portable. Another game, Kingdom Hearts coded, will be released to mobile phones.[40] Currently the titles are only confirmed for a Japanese release, though Square Enix has plans for releases in other territories. Nomura has stated that the three new titles are not the final titles in the series and they will have a connection to a future game."

Wow the KH3 TGS thread merged with meh thread. Cool!
Oh yeah, Nomura said that there was already a connection between those 3 games that will ultimately lead to a 3rd Installment.

Let's just hope that this next installment be for a home system and not another handheld. Hopefully and all around system. Which includes the Wii and Xbox. If those two are left out then I will be forced to purchase a PS3. So far for every KH game soon to come out I have the systems covered except for PS3. (Not well funded to purchase one.) ⌐_⌐ Aside from that now knowing that another KH is to come out after these three it's more then likely that it'll come out in 2010 <-(Strange way to say a year.) If not late 09' it'll most likely either come in the later years to follow. (for some reason 20 anything in years is still strange to say.)

I think I'd hate Kingdom Hearts less and give the series another chance if it didn't take itself so damn seriously. Everything I've seen of II is so damn pretentious that it's laughable. I always thought that if it were a light-hearted franchise that aimed more at whimsy and less at freaking preteens with esoteric and complex states-of-mind planted in a pseudo-metaphysical, pseudo-philosophical world with an orgy of Square and Disney fanservice.
The games would be so much more fun to play if the developers looked at them for what they are, instead of bloating them with silly, contrived stories. Then again, we are talking about Tetsuya Nomura, here. I would just like to explore Disney and FF worlds (which would be a nice addition), recruit Disney and FF characters for good, get lost in the nostalgia, wack people to death with my stupid keyblade, and just enjoy myself, without having to listen to 13-year-olds try to drive a ridiculous story in what should be a fun, light-hearted, whimsical crossover game.

As I read what you are saying to me more and more it starting to seem more like your describing WoW or FFXII. (mostly due to those Mr. T. and Mini Me commercails.) But most ppl like the tesnse sensation they get from a serious games. It's like a rush for those whom have no thrills in life. Just think is KH was a MMORPG not to many ppl would be very hyped about it. If you wanted to explore the worlds then do so beat things up first and then look around I did in KH and KH II. The only world I tried to avoid was the black and white one in KH II. Damn theme song is stuck in my head and I haven't even played in over 2 years. At any rate, KH is seemingly in my opinionn fine as is.

Nah, I think you kind of misunderstood me. I'm not talking about FFXII or WoW. I would like KH more if it didn't take itself seriously and didn't attempt a convoluted story.

It is your opinion. I respect that. However, from my point of view, the story is just one of the best ones that involves friendship and love, not to mention the mystery concerning the characters. One more thing, about the taking itself seriously stuff, the game may be fun but what it aims to pass is very serious( when I say that, I mean the message).

True the tone of the games is quite serious. I now know what you mean. You wish for the game to be more lofty then so serious as it is. I've noticed that when I played the game about 150th time. (seriously I did.) But don't you think if it was laid back even by a tad, that the popularity of the game would be far different from what it is now? I mean pleanty a number of ppl like some games to be serious. I mean look at .Hack, serious? to some extent laid back? yeah. Let's just be happy that the game isn't Resident Evil serious. Cause there is nothing funny in that game what so ever. Idk I've grown to like the serious tone of the game. (Most likely due to over playing it. Except for Timeless River, damn theme song stuck in my head.)

Well, I wouldn't mind the series' being serious if it didn't sound so pretentious and contrived. That's the biggest problem I have with the games. I can't take anything seriously, because the writing is so silly. I just hate when JRPG developers try to force a convoluted plot with a cast of whiny teenagers. Unfortunately, that happens more often than not, so it's not just KH.

I probably know what you're talking about, but can you give an example?

Well, mostly the **** about the virtual Twilight Town, DiZ, the organization, the equivocation of Roxas and Sora, enigmatic 14-year-olds going on about true keyblade wielders. Not into the whole nobody business, when hearts become heartless. It all just sounds like fanfiction to me. I'd probably really enjoy the games if I didn't have to listen about chosen keyblade masters, silly organizations, and an attempt at sort of a metaphysical plot, dealing with memories, friendship, love, all that typical stuff. I just don't think Nomura is good at that stuff. He's not a writer, and he's a poor director, so his work ends up sounding like a fanfic I'd read over at a KH forum.
But I'm a cynic when it comes to anything Nomura, so don't mind me. : )

The only true thing I like about the games is when I beat **** up. Of course I enjoy the gameplay, who doesn't. It's the hole reason as to why you bought it and decided to play it. Aside from these hartbroken teens that never make out I usually focuse all of my attention on the so called bad guys of the games. Whom ever was writing the story for the games really sucked at making villians. Ansem of Darkness, Xemnas and Organization XIII, Xehanort and Todomarashi Shinin, all seem to have one go and that's to be whole. It seems like and Oprah show when someone wwants to find themselves. These "bad guys" are looking for something they lost and we come around as "the hero" and beat the **** out of them for trying to find it. The serious tone of them game can sometimes get complex when your thinking abouto. But how many ppl think when thier playing a game? The series is really built upon fanfic if you really look into it, that's it's foundation. Just like any RPG all we need to do is not think and defeat the evil that threatens the life itself. I have my own conspericy theories about games in general so I tend not to think this deep into them. As poor of a director as Nomura is, he is still banking, and that you have to give him credit for. Not too many ppl that make games actually make sell that exceed measuable numbers. He made a series of games and now everyone is anticipating his next few to come out. Though I still think the game could losen up a bit or fall into the point where you can wander around without being bothered.

I agree Nomura is a **** writer, but for what we got, KH is probably the best he's ever going to make, and there IS enough to work with to make a good story out of Kingdom Hearts, so I appreciate it for what it is. Yea, the Keyblade thing is a story aspect they need to explain, but I loved the Nobody/Heartless cosmology deal. It was interesting enough to satisfy me, and that's not an easy thing to do.
But to wrap it up, yea, they threw in more stuff than was necessary. For example, they could've made Roxas into someone who just...LIVED in Twilight Town because he never had Sora's memories and stuff. And if they were going to give us an hour long prologue they should've made him playable for longer. Maybe have us change between the two characters periodically until they merge at the conclusion.

I completely agree with her on that note. At longer game time with Roxas would be more appreciative. After getting use to the knee brawler he just up and vanish. (I was truely sad at first but after the second time around completely forgot about the situation at hand.) If they were to make it better with the prolog of us using Roxas and withint his dreams we play as Sora just to enlongate his game play time would be a great fit.
On a second note when I stumbled upon a Code Breaker and a GameShark I then made Roxas into a more playable character till the end of the game. Aside from Nomura being as a crappy writter he could have done better with the game, story line wise, hacker wise idk and idc. Hopefully these next 3 games make more sense then his last 3.
