Question Time with.. LUX A couple of guidelines before you begin.. 1 - Keep it within the rules of the forum, nothing over PG-13. This is still KHV, which means that you must not use this thread as an excuse to berate or harass the Question Time participant. That being said... 2 - ...The Question Time participant does not have to answer all of the questions. 3 - The Question Time participant must maintain some level of activity within this thread. Don't leave all of your questions unanswered. You're in the spotlight, baby, so shine! 4 - Give the Question Time participant some time to answer, and let others have a chance to ask. Remember that they are in the spotlight for at least one week, so do not feel the need to barrage them with a lengthy list of questions all at once. And now that you have read the rules, you may ask away!~ @Dr. Lux

View attachment 47199 With the announcement that Tsum Tsums will be added to Kingdom Hearts Union, we've had our fingers crossed that we may be getting some actual, physical, Kingdom Hearts Tsum Tsums.

View attachment 47200 View attachment 47201 Today it was announced that Sora and Riku will be joining another of Disney's mobile games, LINE Disney Tsum Tsum.

View attachment 47181 View attachment 47182 Following making the Kingdom Hearts Manga available as E-Books in December, the publisher of the Kingdom Hearts novels, Yen Press, is making the Light Novels available as well. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories The Novel is set to be released on April 18 and will cost $7.99 USD. Next, Kingdom Hearts II: The Novel, Vol. 1, will be released on the same day as its paperback copy, on June 20th. The E-Book version will cost $7.99 USD compared to $16.00 for the physical book. There is something strange though. Kingdom Hearts: The Novel was supposed to be released this past Tuesday.

View attachment 47170 View attachment 47171 View attachment 47172 As we mentioned quite awhile ago, the preorder bonus for Kingdom Hearts 2.8 in Japan were three Acrylic Stands, created by Tetsuya Nomura, himself. This stands (pictured above) are now available from the North American Square Enix store. Each stand costs $19.99 and will be released in June 2017.

So Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX for the Playstation 4 came out on March 9th in Japan. However, since the game's release, it's been plagued with various bugs, likely as a result of the game changing to 60 FPS. Last night, Square Enix updated the game and have seemed to fix various bugs including (but not limited to): Data Vexen and Data Saix battles fixed. Their gauges would fill twice as quickly due to 60fps, making the fights much harder. Roxas: Fifth Day, Bag mini game fixed. Would end in half the time, again due to 60fps Quick Run distance restored to normal: Sora would only travel half the intended distance before. Hopefully with this patch, the North American and World Wide versions of the game will receive day one patches, when the games are released. Source: Youtuber and Kh Speedrunner, Bizkit047, and his Pastebin, which he will be updating as he finds more information about the patch. Thanks to @Explode for letting us know!
