...Talking about how to travel in this game?

I think you guys are forgetting that the Org. Members can open those portals...unless those ARE the corridors. In which case, I feel stupid.

The main post has been updated =]

I had already assumed there could only be one of the Org. Members at a time. Like, I'd play Roxas, and my friend couldn't be Roxas cause I was him. Although it clears up any doubt.

Can't wait to play as Axel! So does anyone have a guess how long it will take for the game to be released after the japanese release? Or will it be simultaneous?

Nonetheless, thanks for making this thread Riku-Keyblade.

Well, KH2 took three months to be localized and released in NA after it's Japan release. Given how KH2 will be a lot bigger than 358, it will be no later than 3 months and will most likely be earlier than that.

I have a question.

We know that Nomura stated that "not all worlds are able to just simply be accessed," though I don't think I'm quoting that precisely, though he did say something to that affect. So what that implies is that there are worlds where you can go out of free choice of will without having a mission perhaps. Like, maybe you can explore the Organization XIII Headquarters any time you wish, and possibly Twilight Town as well since they two are closely connected. Although I'd love more than just two worlds to freely explore, that'd be a start.

So, with the idea of being able to just go somewhere for the heck of it in mind in single player, does that mean that you could possibly do this through multiplayer? Like you could form your team, whether it be three computers or a combination of friends or however you please, and then venture around certain worlds freely? I know that may not be possible since it's been said that multiplayer is mission-based and the missions you can play you must have defeated in singleplayer mode, but just because you're on a mission, does that mean that you have to accomplish it? Couldn't you maybe get your group of friends or computers together and just go to the area where the mission is and just...For lack of a better word, screw around? Like if the mission was "Go to the Train Station and battle the Darkside," maybe you would be permitted to venture around all of Twilight Town minus the Train Station just for fun, and since it's multiplayer, you could do it with any character.

Maybe I'm just being hopeful as I can't think of anything being more awesome then just visiting Twilight Town or Radiant Garden and venturing around as Zexion. ^_^

Oh, and Riku-Keyblade, Kingdom Hearts II was a highly anticipated game, so they would have wanted to get it localized QUICKLY so they could sell it in the US and other places, though I don't believe any future installment, minus BBS and a possible Kingdom Hearts III, would have as much effort put into it, so it still could possibly take three months or more...Sadly. T.T

[Audo]

The three games are just as, if not more, anticipated, they aren't going to slack off just because. Plus S-E as a whole has been trying to get their release windows closer to one another, with many game sbeing simultaneously released for NA and Japan. So, I still expect less than 3 months.

As for your question on Multiplayer, I really have no idea, but I would assume it would be something like that. I can't really see it being like "[INSERT ORG MEMBER]:I really should do this mission" everytime you try to go to a different area, but who can say for sure? =/

[Mikazuki]

I see...Well, I would be kinda...Err, completely pissed if it did that. :p I'd wanna run away from the group and point and laugh as a Darkside picks them up and eats them (I'm sooooo the perfect teammate).

Well then, with that said, does anyone think that one of the main purposes of this game is to locate every members Heartless and defeat it? I mean, if their purpose is to become existing beings through use of Kingdom Hearts, wouldn't finding their specific Heartless (If at all possible) and sending them to join the great mass of hearts that makes up Kingdom Hearts only be logical? We'd be able to see just what type of Heartless the strong hearted and strong willed members of Organization XIII were able to make. Although it's already been said that only Xehanort and Sora have ever become a Heartless and had their Heartless selves retain consciousness, though that doesn't mean that Organization XIII members didn't make some really powerful Heartless...

Of course that brings up the question of how a powerful Heartless is made. I mean, Sora became a Heartless and simply stayed as the most basic Heartless around. Maybe it's like the more time you spend as a Heartless, therefore the more darkness you could be exposed to over time, the more powerful that Heartless would become. Hmm...*Ponders*

EDIT: Ahhh! My mistake! After reading around some websites and thinking about it, the power of a Heartless is actually determined by the amount of darkness in the heart of the individual. Since Sora doesn't mess around with darkness, he had very little, though still had some since he wasn't one of the rare princesses of heart, so a Heartless could be formed. That explains why when Kairi lost her heart, a Heartless wasn't made. She had no darkness, thus nothing could be made, so the heart went to Sora and stayed inside of him. My mistake on that one. :p And that just means that Xehanort had a HUGE affinity for darkness when he became a Heartless...So much so, he became his own type of Heartless and retained conciousness...I'm just stating the obvious now. :p

Still, if the Organization members had enough of an affinity for darkness when they became Heartless, they could have had their own original Heartless made, totally unique from any other. Maybe that could be a little sub-plot for the game. *Shoulder shrug*

EDITEDIT: I edit alot, bare with me.

About that new bar that was seen with Roxas, I think it was called...The LM bar? I can't remember. Anyway, I don't believe it'd be used for drives, so that means it's most likely used for limits correct? So that implies that Roxas has a super-powerful finishing move that he can unleash to destroy a big group of enemies. Does that mean that every other Organization member has one? Like, when you're in a group in Single player, can you switch to, say, Axel when the bar is full and unleash some type of OF barrage of flames upon them?

And also, does that bar stay intact for Multiplayer? And maybe only the leader of the group, the one to initially form the group, aka player one, duh, can use it? I suppose we just have to wait for footage of someone playing as an Organization XIII member other than Roxas. =/ Bah, waiting. >.<
