      If they were able to make a sub-par sequel to FFXIII twice, then yes. :0

      Finally! I can't wait to play this, wrapped up in blankets while it's snowing outside in December. It will make the Christmas season even better for me. :'D

      Also is it just me or do you think they have re-dubbed Namine? From the newly voiced extra scene, I gathered that that wasn't Brittany Snow. It would be pretty jarring having her normal scenes from the original then a different voice for the FM+ extras, especially when it doesn't sound like her. D:
    6. Misty

      Yeah that's definitely not Brittany Snow. I really don't think they'll redub all of Naminé's scenes, only those previously unvoiced, but I suppose we won't know until the game actually comes out. As irritating as it might be to have two different voice actors playing her in a single game, though, I think Brittany Snow did a really great job in Kingdom Hearts 2... this new dub, not so much.

      I really liked Brittany's performance, too. Never been a fan of the re-cast Namine or Kairi roles. Brittany & Hayden forever.

      I'm wondering why they've never been able to secure her for any of the other titles or these extra scenes. Her career has p much dried up so you'd think she would take whatever she can get.
    8. Misty

      She was in Pitch Perfect! I'm pretty sure she'll be in the sequel as well. Dunno what Hayden is up to, I think she just recently got pregnant.
    9. Antidote
      Antidote
      Ah. Well I guess that has taken her out of her drought. :X

      IIRC Hayden fell away from the series after KHII when she was becoming more prominent as an actress with Heroes, etc, but she came back for BbS and DDD didn't she? She wasn't doing much then. Now she's back in the limelight as part of the Nashville franchise and probably won't be back for KHIII lol.

      @Cat~ and I were just talking about this yesterday >:3 Oh wow, well you can't play it over summer... but you can over Christmas xD

      I am also intrigued about the DDD flashes in the teaser- it's the only game not accounted for in the Remixes. I wondered what they would do with it, whether they'd remake it for the PS3/4 and be added to KH3 game or whether they'd just leave it since it's just been made and doesn't need to be remade (plus, whatever they did they'd probably have to remove the 3D quality).

      Really cool stuff.

      I never noticed how beat up Aqua's armor looked in KH2 before. Kind of creepy. And BBS textures are looking amazing. Nice to see the Keyblade Graveyard not looking like a pixelated mess. Though I noticed that the quick shots from Blank Points still have old textures (including Aqua's old hair). I know those were pre-rendered scenes in BBS, but I really hope they update them.

      Always glad to hear new voice acting clips too. I'm with you guys who are wondering what they're gonna do about Brittany Snow. I like both of them just fine though, so whatevs. Thankfully, I don't think DiZ has any new lines in FM.

      mind. blown.[DOUBLEPOST=1402059193][/DOUBLEPOST]AAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! FINALLY WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!!! The gameplay looks absolutely fantastic, especially for BBS on the big screen! And the cinematic film for Coded looks very promising! I liked seeing some battle scenes in there; unlike Days which skipped them all >_< That little tease at the end for KH3...interesting. It looks like there'll be quite a few more references to the past in this game and that will play a pivotal role in the unfolding the story. The key to defeating Xehanort must be tucked away in there somewhere, at some time, in some place...Hmm that makes me wonder, how long will the game be for KH3? I'm hoping for a really long game, but that's just because I want to keep playing the game for as long as possible to delay the inevitable finale.

      I dunno; didn't they have Corey Burton redub a bunch of Christopher Lee's stuff in 1.5?

      I'm SO HAPPY! The game will come out before my travel to States! I'll be able to buy in and just a couple week after the launch! :D

      Oh, and that teaser..... gonna comment about it in the proper thread.

      Also, I'm a bit sad about the capes, but it seems the Square is following Edna's philosophy:

      The only new lines for DiZ in FM were already voiced by Christopher Lee in the original DS release of 358/2 Days, so I don't think they'll be replacing his voice.

      No capes unless it's KH2 or the BBS intro

      libre, Misty, and I were talking about this last night. xD I think it's a possibility that they port it over to PS3/PS4. While it does utilize the touch screen of the 3DS, tbh all you really do for a lot of important things is just flick your stylus in a direction (Reality Shifts, Card Battles) and some of the petting for Dream Eaters. Which could easily be covered with the PS4's touch pad (and also the Vita's). If they do go the route of PS4, they could potentially move over 1.5 & 2.5 to PS4 as well, or have them on PS Now whenever it's released.

      With KH3 still probably 2+ years away, Square's probably gonna release something to help chop up the wait time; a KH3D port definitely seems pretty likely if that's the case.

      Good point!
      Still, it's a bit shame they didn't gave the effort to add this little thing.
      And, when you realize, you start to argue if the capes are canon or not.

      It bugs me, it would have been so easy to remove the cape from the Lingering Will in KH2, but NO, they kept it. Because it looks cool. And should be on all the armour dammit

      Plot twist: The Lingering Will sewed his own cape during those 11 years in the Keyblade Graveyard. I mean, he couldn't spend all his time just kneeling there waiting for someone to fight to show up.
