I think you mean 3-5am for the europe releases, cause it's already 3pm and it says 8 hours left.

OK... I spoiled myself by watching the opening...

AND I DON'T CARE!

I am refusing to watch any uploaded cutscenes, openings, anything other than the preview trailers. I want it to be as much of a new experience as possible. And as for what I am looking forward to most about the game, that would be what connections Ven has with other characters. No reason to only anticipate that though. The whole game will be awesome. Here's hoping for a US release date announcement soon. =]

Crispin Freeman is involved, dunno who though.

Hey, I know BBS will be a better game that 358/2 Days but that doesn't mean that is a "disappointment" because is a good game, maybe is not the best game of all the KH series but it's not a bad game or a disappointment. I tells very meaningful things about the series.

Okay, this should answer everyone's questions.

THIS IS A SPOILER, IF YOU DUNNO WHAT WILL HAPPEN, OR DON'T WANT TO KNOW, SKIP THIS POST! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! Mainly cuz I dunno how to make those spoiler thingamajiggers, LOL.

*************************************SPOILER************************************​

Here I go:

Terra is Xehanort.

The secret boss is Master Xehanort, and he is in Terra's storyline.

When Terra defeats Master Xehanort, MX opens this door and stabs himself with the keyblade, and releases his heart. MX then dissapears, but his heart enters Terra, and Terra suddenly gets his armor on. The armor then falls, and Terra is standing...BUT WITH XEHANORT'S FACE + HAIR!!!

Then Terra/Xehanort walks away, and a bunch of chains lock the area (this happens in the Gathering Place btw, where all the keyblades are). Then he looks behind him, and sees all the armor together kneeling and clutching a keyblade, which happens to be Terra. THIS is the secret battle.

Then you fight Xehanort/Terra with Terra Armor, and after you kill him, Terra goes back to that pose (kneeling and clutching the keyblade).

Then a gigantic light enshrouds Armor Terra and Xehanort/Terra and X/T dissapears. Then a gigantic heart in the sky spins and dissapears into some clouds. Then the screen blackens, and Terra says something in Japanese.

That isn't the secret boss.

When I watch this (slightly spoilerish. beware) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R62Zux_QjoA - I can practically hear the fangirls screaming.

And it's OUT PEOPLE! WOO! XD

You're right, I found the information after I posted it. I'm more concerned who is going to be Vanitas.

So.. do we know yet what the Ventus/Sora connection is?

Yeah, looks like Aqua lives, thankfully.
She's seen with Ansem on that beach Sora and Riku were on at the end of KH2, and at one point she cries.

I have not even the slightest clue what they could have been discussing, mainly due to no audio.

o.O

It isnt?

I swear it was...LOL

I guess it isnt...mah badd

A secret boss is someone you wouldn't encounter in the normal story, you HAVE to fight Terranort to end Terra's story, therefore he isn't secret.
The secret boss' theme apparantly contains a mixture of rage awakened and the battle theme from the staion of awakening/end of the world.

I e-mailed SE asking about a NA release date, this is their reply:

"Dear Customer,

Regarding your request for console support. Please find your answer below.

Nothing has been announced about a North American release date for that title. This is not to say it will never happen in the future, just currently SQUARE ENIX is focusing on other projects. I hope this answers your question and thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX.


Thank you for contacting the SQUARE ENIX Support Center."


:/

With a title this pivotal, there's no doubt in my mind that it will be released in North America. Just be patient, guys.
