Warning, this post contains spoilers of 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep! I was just thinking, would anyone like to see a Xion data and/or Armored Ventus and Aqua bosses added to Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix in the 2.5 HD Remix? I personally think it would be great to see Xion as a data battle since she was created from data of Sora's memories so I would assume the Organization would have data on her battle techniques as she's a copy of Sora so they needed data to create her anyway. An armored Ventus and Aqua boss I would also find interesting since we already got to fight against Terra, it would be nice to fight against the other two fallen heroes as well. Well here's my idea for a Xion data battle: For the Xion boss I would imagine fighting against her regular form solo in the same area of Twilight Town that you fight Vexen in (and where Axel fought her) but instead of the 13th struggle, Xion's theme plays. Here Xion would perform attacks mimicking Sora with the Kingdom Key as she was created as a copy of Sora. Then you fight her in her Final form at the top of Twilight Town's Clock Tower with a cloaked Roxas with Kingdom Key (regular, not dual-wield) as your ally while a remix of Vector's to the Heavens plays. Here Xion uses all of her attacks in the 358/2 Days final boss and maybe even some new tricks, and Sora and Roxas can have a new reaction command exclusive for the 2.5 HD Remix. All in all, the Xion data boss should follow the steps of the Xemnas boss (2 phases: First phase is a solo boss, second phase you get an ally). Then as a reward for beating Xion's data Sora gains the customizable ability to permanently dual wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion like Roxas. (At this point in time, you've already beaten the game so I don't think having an OP ability would be too game breaking and I'm sure the post-credits bosses would still give you a run for your money if permanent dual-weild is programmed right.) Now, the concept for an Armored Ventus and Aqua boss would be a little trickier. To be honest, when I made this topic, I was originally simply only thinking about Xion but Ven and Aqua kinda stumbled into my mind as well. How about after you beat Terra's Lingering Spirit you also gain his keyblade, Ends of the Earth. From there the keyblade can guide Sora to Room of Sleep in Hollow Bastion where Sora can gauge in combat with Aqua's suit of armor. The battle can take place in the Room of Sleep which transforms into a medium sized battle plate similar in size to the Vexen boss area, though this works to your disadvantage as you have less space to run away and heal in comparison to the Terra fight. Fortunately, unlike Terra who flies around and uses long ranged attacks, Aqua focuses on short range magic attacks along with few non-physical limits such as Ragnorok. Magic and Magic based limits have no effect on Aqua's Armor and instead heals her, Sora must use physical attacks and rely on items if he wants to win. If Sora tries to heal through magic, Aqua's Armor is healed instead. A remix of Aqua's theme plays in the background. Donald and Goofy will be available as allies (but Donald will be pretty useless unfortunately due to Aqua's specialty ^^; ). After the battle Sora gains the Stormfall keyblade. Ok, this part may sound really farfetched, then Stormfall guides Sora to the Mysterious Tower where it seems that inside the tower Ventus's armor was left after Aqua rescued him. Sora see's pieces of the armor on small round plate about the size of the Organization data/Re:Com battles in between two transcending staircases of the tower. A gust of wind pushes Donald and Goofy off of the stairs. Sora is then forced to fight Ven's armor alone. If Sora has any items equipped, Ven's armor automatically steals them and is able to use them for himself throughout the battle. Ven is well rounded and uses a variety of limit attacks, magic attacks, and regular attacks. Ven is very quick and will not hesitate to chase and attack Sora. During the battle, a remix of Ventus's theme plays. After Sora defeats Ven's armor, he obtains Wayward Wind. Then when Sora defeats Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's armor and if the player has a completed save file of BBSFM, Sora obtains his own keyblade armor of silver and gold based on the Kingdom Key which takes place as a drive form without the consumption of allies. Sora can activate it for the first time in a cutscene where Terra, Ven, and Aqua's hearts say something about their suits of armor testing him to see if he has the power to save them, thus hinting towards Kingdom Hearts III. Ok, admittedly my armored Ventus and Aqua boss idea sounds very farfetched and probably have no hope of happening, but I'd at least like to see a Xion data battle make an appearance at the very least to make up for the lack of a Xion card in Re:CoM in the 1.5 HD Remix <_<. Now, I know people are going to criticize my suggestions due to the limitations of keeping boss battles canon. The organization may or may not have data on Xion since all memory of her disappeared when she died. And the battle against Ventus and Aqua's armor wouldn't make any sense as their minds are still intact with their bodies. So how about instead of these fights being canon battles, they just be unlock-able battles for completing other games. For example, if there is a save file of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 located on the PS3 and the gold crown is unlocked on KH2FM then the Xion data boss is unlocked. If there is a save file of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 with all three respective games completed (KHFM, ReCoM, 358/2 Days) then Dual-wield Sora is unlocked after beating Xion. If the player has unlocked the gold crown in KH2FM and has played BBSFM on the Respective disc then the Ventus and Aqua Armor bosses are unlocked. If the player has unlocked the BBSFM Secret Ending and has watched the Re:Coded Movie on the 2.5 disc then Sora's Armor becomes unlock-able after defeating Ventus and Aqua. Similar to how all of the organization members cards were unlock-able in Re:CoM after completing KH2FM, and the extra voiced KH2FM cutscenes being unlocked after completing Re:CoM. So would you guys like to see an extra unlock-able Xion data boss and/or Armored Ventus and Aqua boss fights. Along with being able to play as a permanent dual-wielding Sora and Armored Sora. And being able to use Terra, Ventus's, and Aqua's keyblades? If not, would you like to see any other sort of unlock-able bonuses in the 2.5 HD Remix. Edit: Another idea that just came to my mind, what if after watching the Re:Coded Movie and completing KH2FM and BBSFM 100% you can unlock a playable KH2FM Sora in BBSFM and he can use his keyblade armor in the Mirage Arena?
Hello, I wanted to get some guidance with the Kingdom Hearts fan base on this topic. So today I just came from a Gamestop in a local Mall and after making my purchase an employee at the counter asked me if I wanted to pre-order Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix claiming that many people are doing it get a digi download to a beta/demo for Kingdom Hearts III (I'm assuming in the future since Square Enix barely announced the game a few months ago?). Now, I love Kingdom Hearts and all but I have been very skeptical about paying full price for the 1.5 remix since living in the US, I've already been able to buy Re:COM in 2008, and I already bought KH1 and 358/2 Days when they first came out, and I was lucky enough to find KHFM at an Anime Expo in 2011 so I've already played and experienced all 3 of these games multiple times so I don't believe it's in my best interest to buy 1.5 HD at full price. Especially after watching this. But if this Kingdom Hearts III beta is real then I'd pre-order 1.5 HD in a heart beat. But I've already done my research online and have been keeping up with 1.5 HD information ever since it was announced, but I haven't seen or heard anything for a KH3 beta/demo and I've called another Gamestop and they said they had no information on a KH3 beta/demo so I wanted to confirm with you guys, is there a KH3 beta/demo available for those who pre-order 1.5 HD or was this employee misinforming me or simply trying to scam me? And while I'm at it, has anyone here seen or have the artbook that comes with a pre-order of the game? If so, does it justify buying this game at full price even if you already have the games included in the HD collection? Thank you for your time. :)
This thought came to me after playing through BBSFM, when Master Xehanort takes control of Terra, he gains his body but keeps his original keyblade. However in KH1 when Xehanort's heartless takes control of Riku he gets a completely new keyblade. Why is this? Shouldn't Rikunort be holding Xehanorts original keyblade or did Xehanort just decide to upgrade his keyblade after the ten-year gap, much like how Mickey upgrades his keyblade from the Star Seeker to Kingdom Key D to mirror Sora's keyblade from the realm of darkness. Could Xehanort's new keyblade also be a mirror version of Sora's keyblade? Or could this be due to Xehanort lossing his memory so he can't use his original keyblade anymore and has to get a new one? Or could this just be a Kingdom Hearts plothole? XD What do you guys think about Rikunort and this keyblade issue?
Depression - I can't decide what I should do in college and my future? I feel like I'm at a serious breaking point right now. Next month I will be entering my second year of college and I have not decided what I should major in. I want to have a job that I will enjoy and that has a good salary but I just cannot figure out what my passions are. To be honest the only things that I have ever felt passion for is the Sonic and Kingdom Hearts franchise, and anime. I am very narrow-minded and cannot think about the real world even though my parents have always told me that I need to get my head out of Sonic, Kingdom Hearts, and anime, they seem to be the only things that make me happy. Though I do have a dream of either making Sonic and Kingdom Hearts games, or creating my own original video game, book, or anime series to life to bring joy to people around the world just as Sonic and Kingdom Hearts have done for me, but I don't know how I would pursue that dream. I suppose I could major in Creative Writing and just write stories that may one day get published and become best sellers, but the odds of that happening are slim to none. Well on the bright side, I finished my first year of college with a high GPA and have been accepted into the honors program but I'm behind in math which worries me because most of the best paying majors require good mathematical skills. During my first year in college, I've come to realize that my writing skills a far greater than my math skills, but I can't see myself being successful if all I know how to do is write, and judging by the research I have done, people with creative writing degrees usually do not receive jobs with good wages. I've also come to realize that my social skills aren't progressing. College is the time where people should learn to come out of their comfort zone and socialize, but I haven't been doing much of that honestly since I commute to school instead of living in the dorms and often have my head shoved in books rather than speaking to people. I don't see any light in the dark path that I am heading in. Now that I am on my own as a college student, I don't know where I should go or what I should do. The stress and worry is slowly starting to destroy me and I've come to the point where I do not want to see or speak to anyone. I just want to left alone in the comfort of my home, but as soon as school starts, I'm going to have to face my problems and make a decision that will determine the rest of my life. I honestly wish I could just dive into the world of Sonic, Kingdom Hearts, or anime, but that's obviously an impossibility. I've been thinking about maybe studying abroad in Japan since that's where anime and most video games originate from and to help me get out of my shell, but I feel pretty worried since that would be a huge step for me since I've never even lived away from home outside of my neighborhood yet, let alone in a foreign country. I believe that at the end of the day, the source of all my problems comes down to the fact that throughout my entire life, I haven't been thinking about the real world and have just been lost in either video games or anime. But as of lately, I've come to despise the real world with all of its racism, wars, segregation, unjust laws, and overall selfishness and have been looking towards Sonic, Kingdom Hearts, and anime as a way of escape, and now I've realized that I have been destroying my growth and am now 18 years old with the mind of a 13 year-old. Has anyone else felt depressed and confused because they didn't know what they wanted to major in college? How did you decide what your purpose is on this planet and decide what to major in? I want to find something that I will be happy working in and that I can say "This is what I am meant to do." Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you. :)
Wow I can't believe this, I've been able to complete all three stories on Critical Mode, complete the Secret Episode, and obtain all the abilities for my favorite character Aqua despite the language barrier but I'm not having much luck in the mini-game department ^^;. Now I'm trying to unlock the Armored Master Eraqus and No Heart boss fights in Mirage Arena but I can't seem complete the command board mini-games in the Mirage Arena. I was able to complete them in the American version (though it wasn't easy), but now I'm having a bit of difficulty due to the language barrier in the Final Mix. Does anybody have any advice on playing the command boards in the Mirage Arena or strategy that would be easy to use despite the language barrier? Any strategies or tips would be greatly appreciated, I blindly jumped in and completed these mini games through trial and error with no strategy in the English version but now I just want to complete these command boards as quickly as possible through strategy because to be honest, they aren't much fun.
I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section but this was the most reasonable place that I could find to place this topic in. If this is the wrong section then a mod can move this topic. I'm sorry to ask but I was wondering if anyone knew if a translation guide existed for Birth by Sleep Final Mix? I've already used the search engine for this forum but I couldn't find any topics about a BBSFM translation guide. I've also been looking for a guide on Google but all I was able to find was a translation guide for the regular BBS. I'm also trying to avoid having to install an English patch because I'm afraid to hack my PSP. So does anyone know of a BBSFM translation guide or am I just going to have to use the regular BBS guide? Thank you.
Hi, I'm a first-year in college and I'm just really confused with what I want to do and what I should major in. I go to an American college called UCR. I know that you should major in something that you have a passion for and something that you won't struggle in. Now I'll be completely honest, I don't have many interests, the only things that I have ever felt really passionate for is the Sonic and Kingdom Hearts franchise and Anime/Manga. Its been my dream ever since I was in the 8th great to make Sonic or Kingdom Hearts games or make my own Anime/Video Game/Book Series. I have wonderful ideas for characters and stories, but I just never knew how exactly to get those ideas on papers and start and start writing a story. When I first entered college, I started out as Creative Writing major and took to classes in Creative Writing since I thought that they may help me figure out ways to get my ideas on paper and perhaps someday make a book out of it. And I will admit that it was a pretty fun class to take but I was just worried that there may not be many good jobs for a Creative Writing major once I graduate college. Both of my professors had their own books published which I thought was very impressive so I spoke to one of them during her office ours and asked her how does the process of writing a book work and she explained to me that it took her ten years of writing everyday before she was ready to publish her first draft and when she was ready, she said that her editors suggested that she should cut out 2/3 of her book (I believe that her first draft was 1000+ pages) before they published it. And then she said that after ten years worth of writing. Her book only stayed on the shelves for about two months. She explained to me that you must have a strong passion for writing if you plan to major in Creative Writing because you probably are not going to make much money off of it or make the next Harry Potter series unless you are really lucky. So I decided to drop my Creative Writing major and now here I am in the middle of my second quarter as an undeclared major. Even though I got all A's my first quarter, I don't believe that I'm taking classes that will lead me to a career that I will be happy working in for the rest of my life. So now that I am an undeclared major, I'm trying to figure out what I should major in that will lead me to a career that I will enjoy for the rest of my life. So I decided to head over to my college's Computer Science Department since I heard that my college has a good video game design program so I decided to check it out and see what classes I would need to take. Unfortunately I would need to take a lot of math classes since my college sees math as the foundation of computers so it believe that its should know a lot of math. However, math isn't really my strong area. I was great in math up until Geometry in High School. But when I started taking Algebra II and Trigonometry, I started to struggle a lot. I was still able to pass those classes with a C though. Right now I'm really behind in Math since the college wants me to take some remedial Math workshop that may not even be offered next quarter which means that I'll have to take it in the Summer if I can afford it that is. And even then, I'll still be behind since I'll have to change colleges (UCR is split up into 3 different colleges with their own breadth requirements) and work on their breadth requirements. During my time so far in college I learned that Math may not be my strong point but I found that I'm good at writing, but like I said, I don't really know of a career where I'll be happy in that requires good writing skills. Last week I attended a Video Game and Animation presentation by someone who works for a video game company in America. After his presentation, I went up to him and explained how much I love the Sonic Franchise and would someday like to make Sonic games and so he explained to me that making video games is a team effort (i.e. you have your designing team, art team, sound team, etc.), and if I plan on working in the designing field, then I may want to think about moving to Japan since that's where Sega and Square Enix designing team is. So lately I've been thinking about double majoring in both Computer Science (to take game design classes) and Asian Studies (to take Japanese classes) and possibly studying abroad in Japan at some point. However I don't know if I'll be able to handle this much work and be able to graduate within 4 years. I have to commute to school (since I couldn't afford to live in a dorm) and I have a tutoring job at my old high school. Driving to college and Tutoring is cutting in to my homework time a lot right now. I am currently taking 3 classes and 13 units and I am already 2 units behind the 15 unit average which I am suggested to be taking if I plan to graduate within 4 years majoring 1 subject. Time and money is of the essence and I'm worried that if I major in two subjects then it will take me longer to graduate from college and cost my family even more money. Ever since I came to UCR, I've been attending its Anime Club and for the first time ever, I feel like I truly found people outside of the internet that I can hang out with who have the same interests as mine. I've made many wonderful friends and have greatly warmed up to the staff. I plan to apply for an officer position and hopefully become a staff member next year. However, there's this one girl that I've met in the club who I really like. Her name is Neetu. I've hung out with her a few times and she's even invited me in her dorm room. I text her every other day and decided that over the winter break that when the next quarter starts that I would ask her out. However besides two days ago, I haven't seen her all quarter since she has had time to come to the anime club lately (Tomorrow will be the start of week#5). Friday, two days ago was the first day of the second quarter that I saw her again at the club. When I first laid my eyes open her after not seeing her for over a month my heart started beating like a rocket. One of the reasons why I am so fascinated by her is because she wishes to pursue the same career as me. She also wants to become a game designer, but unlike me, she has better idea of how the game field works (in terms of what jobs pay more and what will look good on your resume). Where I on the other hand know nothing, I just have the simple dream of working for the video game franchise that brought me so much happiness over my life time. She also has stronger skills in Math than me and is already in the college that Computer Science is placed in. And not only that but while I was talking to her, she said that she was planning to move to another university USC because she heard that they have a better game program than UCR and students who graduate from that university are usually hired by big time companies straight off the bat. At that moment, my heart just sunk. She said that she was planning on submitting her application before this Tuesday. Here she is planning to make the next big step towards her dream career of making video games and here I am still trying to figure out what I am trying to do obsessed with my dream of being a part of making Sonic games but too scared to make the big step forward of facing the math classes which I have been struggling with. She told me before Friday that she was going to be able to come to the anime club for the first time in 5 weeks so I was planning to ask her out to a movie or something (I've never had dating experience before so this was going to be my first time asking a girl out, but I thought it was a good idea to ask her out in person so I waited until last Friday) but I felt too heart broken by the fact that she was planning to move away. It was 11pm and she was planning to walk back to her dorm alone in the dark. I offered to walk with her or give her a ride in my car but she claimed that she didn't want me to waste gas or to have to walk back to the parking lot alone after I drop her off. But I didn't want her to get hurt or anything so I tried to be "the gentleman" and offer to walk or drive her to her dorms to makes sure she's safe. My friends Andrew, Nathan, and Sasha also backed me and told her that their could be rapers around campus, but she still refused. In the end what we ended up doing since my friend Alex lives in a dorm close to her's, we had Alex walk her to her dorm and I drove Andrew, Nathan, and Sasha to their apartment. I have a feeling that either she just wasn't comfortable enough with me to let her drive her to her apartment or she just didn't want me to have to waste gas or walk in the darkness by myself. Well, at least later that night she sent me a text apologizing and hoping that she didn't offend me or anything. I just replied saying that I didn't want hurt to get hurt or anything. Now here I am today confused about what I should do with my life and the rest of my college career. Neetu told me that she was also thinking about studying abroad in Japan like me. But another reason why she's going to USC is because their Game Design program requires you to take a foreign language where at UCR, you would have to double major. So I was thinking about going to USC too after hearing what Neetu told me about it, but if I did that, then I would be a follower and not a leader. I don't want to be someone who doesn't make his own decisions, I have to learn how to develop my own self and be confident. But at the same time, I really like this girl and I don't want to see her go, but I should be happy for her for following her dreams. I just wish I could be more like her and have a decided path and a plan of action in college. So is there anyone out there who may have any advice for me? Or has been put into a similar situation? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. :)
I thought this was the best place to place this topic. If not then a mod can move it. Anyway, for the past few days I've been writing non stop on my first fan fiction for one of my favorite animes. The first chapter came out to be a little over 6,000 words. A few hours ago I posted it on Deviantart.com but then I got the sudden fear that someone may steal it by copying and pasting it and claiming it as their own. Has anyone had an experience where they uploaded a piece of writing to the internet and someone stole it? Does anyone have any advice on preventing this from happening? Or am I just over worrying about my first fan fiction? I just completed my first quarter of college a few weeks and I took a Creative Writing class and I'm starting to believe that one of my best strengths is in writing and creating stories, but I just fear for theft of my works since writing is so easy to copy and manipulate. And I love reading other people's fan fictions and I always wanted to write my own someday but I would be really disappointed if someone read it and stole my ideas. Well, any thoughts, opinions, or suggestions about this would be greatly appreciated. :)
Since Birth by Sleep is a prequel to the original Kingdom Hearts, I was hoping that this game would answer a lot of questions that I had about the Kingdom Hearts franchise but it didn’t do much of a good job. I believe that this game is great none the less but I was really looking forward to having a lot of my questions answered. After I completed the game and unlocked the secret ending, I was able to make a list of things that this game didn’t actually explain. 1. How does Mickey end up in the Realm of Darkness and get the golden keyblade? 2. How do Maleficent and Stitch end up in Hollow Bastion/Radient Garden? 3. Spoiler If Aqua is stuck in the Realm of Darkness, then why doesn’t Sora, Riku, or Mickey run into her during their time in that realm? 4. How does Kairi end up on Destiny Islands? 5. Spoiler Why does Vanitas have the same face as Sora? 6. Why does Roxas look like Ventus? 7. Spoiler How does Xehanort/Terra form Organazation XIII and banish Ansem into the Realm of Nothingness? 8. Spoiler How does Xehanort/Terra create the artificial heartless and nobodies? 9. Spoiler What exactly are the origins of the heartless in general? Apparently the pure bloods already existed during Birth by Sleep. Are they creatures of darkness formed after the separation of worlds after the events of the Keyblade War? 10. How do the heartless escape from the Realm of Darkness and come to the Realm of Light? 11. How do Snow White, Cinderella, and Princess Aura get kidnapped by Maleficent? 12. How do Organization Members IX-XII join the Organization? 13. Spoiler How does the Organization take control of Castle Oblivion? Doesn’t Master Eraqus state that anyone who steps foot in the castle will be lost to oblivion? 14. Spoiler Does the Organization know of Ventus’s existence in Castle Oblivion? Shouldn’t Sora’s heart have reacted to Ventus in KH CoM? Is this Why Roxas’s head started to throb when he entered Castle Oblivion in 358/2 Days? Its been 11 years since the events of Birth by Sleep, so is Ventus’s body able to magically resist the affects of aging in Castle Oblivion? Or has it rotted away by now? 15. What exactly is the “Room of Awakening” that is mentioned in KH2FM? 16. Spoiler Since the reason that Sora’s nobody looks completely different than him is due to Ventus merging with his heart thus making Roxas take the form of Ventus. Then shouldn’t there have been a girl who looked like Naminé that merged with Kairi’s heart in order for her nobody to have blonde hair during the events of BBS? 17. Spoiler Why does Xigbar see Xion as Ventus in 358/2 Days, if anything, shouldn’t he have saw Xion as Terra or Aqua? After all, they fight against Briag where Ventus and Briag only share a few lines of dialog in BBS. 18. How does Triton know about the legend of the keyblade bringing nothing but destruction and the melding of other worlds in KH1? 19. What exactly does “Birth by Sleep” mean anyway? I know that some of these questions have already been answered in the Ansem reports, but I was hoping to see these events in action during cutscenes in Birth by Sleep. And I know that the explanation of some of these questions aren’t really necessary for plot’s sake but they are still concepts that I would like to know about. Do you think Square may answer some of these questions in the Final Mix? Spoiler And I know that the whole Vanitas and Ventus looking like Sora and Roxas is believed to be due to Ventus merging with Sora’s heart, but I don’t think that this was actually stated in Birth by Sleep. Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I’ve seen, that was just something inferred by the fan base. But if that is the case, then I have another question: 20. Spoiler If the reason that Vanitas looks like Sora is due to Ventus merging with Sora's heart, then what did Vanitas look like before Ventus merged with Sora's heart when Vanitas was created in the Badlands? So how did you guys feel about Birth by Sleep? Are there any questions that you still have that wasn’t answered in Birth by Sleep? Edit: I also forgot to point out two plot holes: Since Donald and Goofy meet Ventus during the events of BBS. Why didn't Ventus come to their minds when they saw the picture of Roxas and his friends in Twilight Town in KH2 after Maleficent helps them out in Hallow Bastion. And if this game takes place 10 years in the past then technically Huey, Dewey, and Louie probably shouldn't be born yet. Yeah I know, those plot holes shouldn't be taken seriously, but I thought they would be funny to point out.^^
Hey everybody, I haven't been on this site or any other Kingdom Hearts websites for the past 7 months in order to avoid spoilers for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts game(upcoming outside of Japan that is :P) Birth by Sleep. I personally hate spoilers and try my best to avoid them completely, so for the past 7 months I tried to avoid Kingdom Hearts material on the internet. However, I just recently finally got my hands on Kingdom Hearts Final Mix at the 2010 Anime Expo and went into a big Kingdom Hearts fad. However, I still wanted to keep myself from running into any Birth by Sleep spoilers, though I got tired of avoiding Kingdom Hearts material and decided to cautiously browse YouTube for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix hacks, and then I came across a video about a Ventus texture hack. I thought it looked pretty cool and decide to look at other videos with the Ven hack (yeah big mistake) and then boom, I caught the glimpse on the side of my eye of a video in the "related videos section" revealing Vanitas's face. I thought "Oh crap, the one thing I didn't want to see before I played the game was Vanitas's true face." I felt as if his spoilertastic yellow eyes were starring into my soul.-_- Well anyway, I just thought that I'd share with you guys a recent incident that I had which reminds me why I hate spoilers so much. Yeah, I know that the whole Vanitas spoiler was my fault for looking up Kingdom Hearts videos on YouTube, but I guess we're just at that digital age where runnuing into spoilers is pretty much inevitable due to all the media resources we have. And not only for video games, but for TV Shows, Movies, and Books too. I'll use Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an example, the game was released in America on March 9th, 2008. However I had to completely shut my mind off of Brawl for 2 months because as soon as the game was released in Japan (I believe on January 31st 2008), videos were all over the net revealing all the hidden characters and levels. And of course, leaks are no fun at all because not only does it spoil the fresh first glimpse experience of a video game level, or a movie trailer, but it also makes the company who owns the leaked material extremely angry. Yeah I know, there is pretty much no way to avoid spoilers or leaked material now in days (unless you completely shut yourself off from the game, movie, book, etc. like I did :P) but my question is, Do spoilers bother you? And are you ever tempted to look at leaked material or spoilers of upcoming video games for example? I will admit, that staying clear from Kingdom Hearts material on the internet for 7 months was a major pain (and I still have 2 more months to go before Birth by Sleep is released in America XD) but when I buy a new game, I love having the "oh my gosh, what's gonna happen next" and not knowing the *insert name here* is going to be the final boss fight of the game. So anyway, what's your opinion on leaked infromation and spoilers? (By the way, I thought it was okay to mention Vanitas's yellow eyes in my post since they were already revealed in the Jump Fiesta 2010 trailer)
Hi I'm Sonic Toadstool, I am a huge Sonic and Kingdom Hearts fan. I have been following the Kingdom Hearts franchise ever since it made its debut to the world in 2002. I never heard of Kingdom Hearts until I saw the U.S. commercial in 2002, after I saw the commercial I just had to buy the game for my PS2 and so I have been a fan of the series ever since. I have just about every single Kingdom Hearts game released except for KHFM and the mobile games, though I have been lucky enough to buy KH2FM+ in a local Anime Store earlier this year. Even though this is my first time posting, I have actually been a member here for about 10 months. I joined this forum back in Febuary to find some codes to hack my copy of KH2 and KH2FM+. I was very happy with what I found though I never really took the time to post or anything since at the time, I was taking a break from forums and other chatting places over the internet. But I'm back on now, and I really wanted to be apart of this forum's speculations of the new Kingdom Hearts game, Birth by Sleep before it is released in Japan in a few weeks. Well anyway, thanks for welcoming me to the KH-Vids.Net Forum everyone.
