Five RPGs for 2013: A New Beginning for Kingdom Hearts?

1UP - After years of side stories, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD comes as an odd relief.

Assuming it's released outside of Japan... I'm getting an import copy though, because I don't trust SE to actually do something the fans want lol.

I hope it does come out of Japan, or else i'll have no choice but to pay the ridiculous asking price on Ebay.

How much are you seeing it for? I know at YesAsia you can pre-order it for 82 US Dollars. With free shipping. I figure that's a little over the price of retail games. Not too bad when you consider that.

Well every Kingdom Hearts game (minus a couple Final Mix ones) have made it outside of Japan. Kingdom Hearts 3D took like 6 months to be localized.

However this is a Playstation game & this gen Squarenix has kind of screwed us over for the most part with their games so who knows.

I assume SE will bring it over here but if not I will import. This should be the last release next to 2.5 before kh 3 it's been such a long wait and everytime dearly beloved comes
On my iPod I get the urge to play kingdom hearts. I really want 3

As far as I'm concerned Sqeenix need to stop messing about.
They need to release Kingdom Hearts 3, FFVSXIII and FFX HD.
Maybe they know they can't make these kind of AAA games any more and they're worried if either one fails it could have a drastic impact on the company.
So instead they just tease these games for years and never deliver. It's crazy to think we have gone through an entire gen of 6 years or so and still have yet to play KH3.
Personally I've lost interest.

1/2, Birth by Sleep, and Dream drop distance skip the rest.

Chain of Memories and 358/2 have a lot of important stuff that lead into KH2. Otherwise you'll be Really lost at beginning of 2. You can easily find a videos of all the cutscenes of both games so you dont have to play through them all the way.

Pyrofire951954d ago

Wouldn't actually say Chains is necessary before going into 2 since you know just as much as Sora. While I do like a lot from 358/2, aside from a few things it's mostly world/character building Days came out after 2 anyway and would take a lot of mystery away. Maybe I'm just trying to simulate how I experienced the story but in that case I actually started playing 2 first lol. Cutscenes should be sufficient for sure.

Pyrofire951954d ago

I'd through 0.2 in there as well just cause it's so short and has a decent amount of information. What the hell did Mickey mean?
