Like a lot of people are predicting, they're probably waiting for FFXIII to die down. Although that does seem to be a long time... But hey, at least it's coming.

Well this happened with Dissidia as well. Only, the reason why it was released so much later was because they went in and changed some parts of the battle system. They also added in content to it (extra cutscenes, new moves, etc.)

Perhaps they're doing the same to Birth by Sleep? Knowing Disney, could they also be censoring the game? :x (Although, I haven't played the import yet so I'm not sure what there is to censor. >_>; )

But let's hope the game can arrive as early as possible.

Could be possible. Extra content and a slightly changed battle system is fine by me, but if there censoring stuff, its going to be a little annoying.

Knowing that its coming though is great.

I hope they're not waiting on Europe. I'd rather wait a little longer while I watch all of the English cutscenes...
I hope there is nothing Disney can find to censor in the game, they've already changed Aqua's outfit...

I really hope both NA and Europe get the game soon. I'm really exicited about playing it and it looks challenging as well.

That's just WAY too long D:

A few days ago I posted a thread annoucing the possible release date for BBS (June 1, 2010) and nobody believed me because it came from the KH Wiki. Now that it's coming from GI everybody believes it. I'm happy there is finally a possible release date but... I just wish everybody belevied me when I post first.

That's because you had no credible source. Wikis are all good and fine, they have good info and all, but if there's no source it can't be taken seriously. GI is a credible source.

I find it funny that in the second scan they compare the BBS characters to Star Wars characters.

Boy I can't wait for the game to come to America.

JUNE!!! WHY JUNE!!!! Its AFTER my birthday :( No fair

Thanks for the news Mike

ugh i thought it would be released in april-may 2010..well thats dissapointing, but at least its coming to NA. Also FFXIII will come out soon so maybe ill replay that like 3 times before Kingdom Hearts BBS releases hah

I agree with La Sofa. No doubt the Disney is going to censor Braig's weapon which is going to be really annoying......again. I also read where you go to Cinderella's world, one of the sisters summons an unversed and when it gets defeated, it kills the 3 evil sisters(not 100% sure that is accurate). If that is the case then they will most likely have that edited. It's Disney's way of "childproofing" the game. I just hope that doesn't make the English dialogue sound weird and awkward.

Also, the game came out in Japan in January and GI says that the game is coming out between June and August(I think it is more of a prediction). That is what, 5-7 months from now? That is not that bad as when compared to Dissidia, which came out in December, NA did not get it until August. I also think it was nice that they got the VA's a little early even before the game came out in Japan(wikipedia). Either way I think this game is going to be great and help the underrated PSP(yes I say underrated, because it is). does anyone think there is going to be a preorder special? I hope there is. I liked the goodies from 358/2 days :D

Also, what is this "waiting on Europe" crap about?

I just hope that European and American release are at the same time. Not like with days.

the real release date

I FOUND OUT THE TRUE DATE...June 1, 2010

i don't think this is a credible source either, if i remember correctly, gameinformer was the magazine that said that Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+ was releasing to the US.

Wow, if I'm to be honest I expected it to be later than this. Wasn't it nearly a year between the NA release and the Japan release of Days? (If not, then it feels like it) so I expected more like Christmas 2010. This is good news, and at least it's for sure now :D

Days was released in Japan late May.
It later released in North America at the end of September and the 1st week of October for Europe.

That's like four months.

This. In addition to what someone previously said about making the voices sound weird and awkward. I think my biggest concern here is really the voice acting at this point. The story is more serious (just as I like it), and therefore I want voice acting that is representative of that and that does not make it a children's game. Also, Disney better not screw with anything for that same reason.

Well, it's better than what I anticipated. BBS does have the most voice acting ofany previous KH game, so translating and and lip syncing will take a bit. But, I will be very happy for a June release. I'm not so happy about an August release though, I need something to keep me busy during the summer :/.
