KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

In preparation for the release of 'Kingdom Hearts III' in Japan next Friday (we're so close!!!), Square-Enix released a 2 minute commercial for the game, focusing first on the fans of the series, and then giving us a look at more cutscenes and gameplay (with a new Drive Form revealed called Rage Form, which appears to be an Anti Form variant). Check out the commercial below:

Disney has announced that the Disney Ambassador Hotel at Tokyo Disney Resort will have Kingdom Hearts themed rooms from March 26th to June 30th to celebrate the release of 'Kingdom Hearts III'! Check out images of what the hotel rooms will look like below (as well as the Keyblade-shaped room key):


Reservations can be made starting January 30th, and will cost ¥46,100 per night (roughly $425). Each room will be 41 square meters, and will contain two regular sized beds and one trundle bed. Rooms will include two sets of original postcards in two different designs (total of four postcards). In addition to the hotel rooms, a Kingdom Hearts themed menu will also be served at the hotel lounge and cafe from March 26th to June 13th.

Earlier today, the official Kingdom Hearts Twitter account tweeted what players can expect as far as patches go during the first few days of KH3's launch:
On January 29, update 1.01 will provide some data fixes as well as adding the Memory Archive option in the main menu (which recaps the story of the series up to 'Kingdom Hearts III'). Later, the game's epilogue will be included with an update on January 30th, while a secret ending will be included on the 31st.

Most fans have waited over twelve years for the long awaited conclusion to the seeker of darkness trilogy that is; Kingdom Hearts. During that time, we have sadly, we have lost several of the talented voice actors who worked on the Kingdom Hearts series. I thought it would be a respectful gesture as a community, if we honored the memories of those individuals with a small thread. Even though some voices were not as grand as others, they still deserve a deserved thanks for their vocal work to a beloved video game franchise. Without further ado, here are twenty-eight hearts we lost to darkness since 2002.
