How Square Enix Can Win Their Fans Back: Kingdom Hearts Edition

Jordan of Trendy Gamers: Here we are on part four of how Square Enix can get their fans back! This time I will focus on the fantastic Kingdom Hearts Series. What started out as a crazy idea for many ended up being one of the Playstation 2’s greatest franchises. Unfortunately the series has been dormant on consoles since 2006 and that is only the tip of the iceberg. What is Square Enix doing leaving this fantastic franchise to handhelds? Here is what they should do to get their fans back with the Kingdom Hearts series.

I totally agree. Not that I don't love Kingdom Hearts as it is.

[TrendyGamers]

Yeah, its great as it is but some changes are needed.

[crxss]

still waiting for the KH HD collection with KH, KH2, and hopefully KH BBS. that... would... be... epic!

[dark-hollow]

^^^^^^ after KH3 of course...

[iamtehpwn]

In the sense of Kingdom Hearts, They could win me back with KH3 alone. Hell, they could even win me back with a Kingdom Hearts HD collection featuring KH1, 2 and BBS. If they did both, I'd be completely thrilled.

[TrendyGamers]

Same here.

[RedDead]

KH is Awesome

[jacksonmichael]

And bubbles are for people who enjoy happiness.

For the record, before the edit, his post said, "KH is for kids."

[manman6]

I would love a kh remake

[WildStyles]

Great Article. Kingdom Hearts is so convoluted right now it's crazy. It's like Metal Gear at this point. All these spin offs and side stories are doing more harm than good. Kingdom Hearts 3 is going to be so confusing to gamers including myself who only played the first two console games.

Also the fact that it's been damn near seven years and we haven't seen a console version is ridiculous.

[TrendyGamers]

Yeah, its really hard to keep track of who is the nobody of every character.

[Grip]

well with these spin off for DS and PSP, any fan of KH will get confused with KH3 even who play KH 1 and 2

[Shang-Long]

its actucally easy, if you dont want to play just go watch the cut scenes on you tube or go read about it, its free and it catches you up on every things.

if anything go watch the bbs stuff, that's what will explain a lot

[xtremexx]

i agree with Stop Convoluting The Story, i got confused with the game lol

[Godmars290]

I don't think they can win me back as this point. Including vsXIII, I just don't think that they can do a decent or passable JRPG on an HD console.

[D3mons0ul]

Look, vsXIII is being developed by Nomura's team. These are not the same people that keep botching up the main titles, repackaging old games and making bad spin offs. These are people who have yet to make a game on an HD console. Give them their fair due, don't write Versus off yet.

that goes for all of you.

[Godmars290]

That and Wada being in charge overall and acting as a poison pill. He dropped a bomb on the XIII dev team as well as fans, and as CEO, hopefully aside from Namura carrying out his threat of quitting, there's nothing stopping him from doing it again.

[no_more_heroes]

Don't even get me started on this, because I wouldn't freaking STOP!

WHERE THE HELL IS KH3, SQUARE?!

[Shnazzyone]

3ds one looks likie a nice try but how about KH3 already.

[r21]

KH HD collection would be nice with secret bonuses like a preview to, oh i dont know, KH3! i've been waiting for that game since KH2!

[MiyagiSPG]

I love Kingdom Hearts 1/2, i mean come on look at my avatar lol!

The problem is with all these spin-offs of Kingdom Hearts pilled on top of each other along with all the new games being released as of late (October/November releases anyone?) there's just no chance to be able to sit down and play all the spin-offs and fully understand the story with so many distracting!

So come Kingdom Hearts 3 release anyone who needs a recap of how the story goes would probably have to go through each game again to help remember which adds up even more :O!

P.S Or Youtube the cutscenes like the guy up there said lol :P ^

[Pozzle]

I remember when Chain of Memories first came out and I thought it was just a spin-off with barely any relation to the "main" series, so I didn't play it. So I ended up being VERY confused when KH2 was released and Sora had to be woken up from hibernation, there were two characters named Roxas and Namine who I didn't recognise, and Organization XIII was going around and destroying things. I was like "Bwuh? Who are all these people? When did all this happen?"

Then I played Chain of Memories and finally understood what was going on.

So yeah...I'm worried that when KH3 comes out, the plot will be even harder to follow because there are more spin-off titles this time around. :O

[Stealth2k]

hes a moron if he doesnt know why its better on handhelds

[wonderwall97]

Before, KH 1 and KH 2 seem very good games with a pretty good, interesting plot. But I don't what happened, with all these handheld KH games, the plot I think got complicated.

But I don't mind it all. I love Kingdom Hearts :) Goofy Time!!! xD
