KH's big year?

Ban Mido · November 2nd, 2007, 07:35 PM

Last December, Nomura said in an interview that 2007 would be a "big year" for KH. And in this year, FM+ has been released localy in japan and three new games have been announced.

Now with the year almost through, what does everyone think about it? Do you guys think it has been a "Big Year" for KH? any thoughts or feelings that you'd want to discuss on this?

For me, It's been kind of a let down. The biggest thing KH wise that applies to me would be the announcement of the three new games, and the first probably won't be released until mid to late of next year at the least, and that would be the initial release IN Japan!

Eh, I'm not disappointed. We've gotten so much new info, and we have a lot to look forward to.

True. It's nice to have some information. I'm glad that we know there are going to be more games and that we're learning about them. But we only started getting all this new information, as well as the indication of the three new games relatively recently. While it is monumental, It wasn't quite what I was expecting when I read the interview almost a year ago.

Well for starters, I was hoping that Square would break out of character for once and actually release FM+ outside of Japan, since FM+ was the big topic at that time. A foolish notion, I know. But you can't blame me for dreaming!

And secondly I was expecting the release of another game by the end of the year.

It wasn't a total let down though, since they announced the three new games for release.

it wasnt has eventful as i had hoped, only 2 games for the rest of the world.
FM+ is hard to get and play.
Coded-rubbish

BBS and 358/2 days are looking good but thats it.

Add at least 6 months on to that figure...it's Square Enix we're talking about here

You meane I did my math wrong? *runs to double check* Ah! here it is! I forgot to divide by the size and mass of Square's ego! How could I forget to do that?!?

I suppose not, <.<.

Well,I think the year 2007 WAS a big year for KH,I mean,THREE new games were announced,isn't that great?

Although they are going to take long time to come overseas,we know that we'll be playing new KH games and that alone is making me happy =D

The Twilight Prince · November 2nd, 2007, 09:33 PM

Well. Hm. I will admit it was a big year in relation to the release of the new games info. And I suppose you could call Final Mix+ big. But only for Japan really. And those who imported it. I'm not totally disappointed but I admit it could have been better.

I admit that releasing Kh2FM+ here in the states and anywhere else would cost them a lot of money, but I think bankruptcy is a bit of an exaggeration. They have tons of other games selling, along with the additonal money they would have gotten in return for releasing it in the states and anyplace else. And Square is a pretty big company. I just think saying it would have made them "bankrupt" is a bit much.

Unless of course you were intending to exaggerate. In which case I apologize.

Easy for you to say HD! ;)

You are 14 and Im 17. You got 3 years more to wait for KH´s ;____;

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS NOW:

I am sure about this. I saw an interview on KHI´s netsite. Nomura said there that for Americans and Europeans, there will be surprise in end of this year. Now when I checked for it, I couldnt find it there. I swear that it wasnt dream! Could someone check it somewhere? Someone remembers this?

btw, Xirsch_2, we both have MX avys!!!^^ I got desperate MX and you have very confident MX^^

It was, =P. Basically what I meant is that they would LOSE money, most likely, or not make much at all.

True.

Which wouldn't be much. I'm wagering it would just barely cover the investment, if at all.

I know, >.<.

Yes, it was an exaggeration, =P. Of course I know that "bankrupt" is a bit much, but of course it wouldn't benefit them at all either.

1. That interview was with a supposed "Marketing Manager", not Nomura. As I've previously expressed, he has very little input on the matter.

2. It was fake.
