SQUARE ENIX ANNOUNCES KINGDOM HEARTS RE:CHAIN OF MEMORIES FOR NORTH AMERICA
Fans Can Now Complete Their KINGDOM HEARTS Experience, as the Missing Link Makes Its Way to North American Shores for the First Time Los Angeles (September 19, 2008)
Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in North America, and Disney Interactive Studios, announced today that KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories will be released for North American audiences on December 2, 2008.
KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories is the essential piece that bridges the gap between KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS II. Originally released in 2004 for Game Boy® Advance, this full 3D rendition on the PlayStation®2 has never been released in North America — this is an entry in the KINGDOM HEARTS saga that fans of the series can’t miss!
STORY
Sora, Donald and Goofy travel down a long road that meanders through endless fields, and come to a crossroads. As Sora stands in the crossroads, he gazes up at the night sky and thinks of his lost friends.
Just then, a mysterious man approaches from down one of the branching paths. "Ahead lies something you need," he says, "but to claim it, you must lose something dear." The man vanishes before a single path, leading to a castle that eerily resembles a girl's drawing...
In the coming journey, what will Sora and his companions gain, and what will they lose?
FEATURES
World-renowned creator and character designer Tetsuya Nomura and his team once again unite the magical world of Disney with the characters of FINAL FANTASY®, inviting fans to an enchanting gaming experience
An essential piece in the KINGDOM HEARTS franchise, which has shipped over 12 million units across the globe, comes to North America at long last
In addition to Sora, players can control Riku in this adventure that bridges the gap between KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS II
A full 3D remake of the original GBA release, KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories offers a refreshing rendition of the hit title for the PlayStation 2 system
The talented voice cast from the North American releases of KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS II, including David Gallagher and Haley Joel Osment, return to breathe new life into the beloved characters
The mini-game catalog has been completely renewed, now with four brand new experiences accompanying the main adventure
KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories has not yet been rated by the ESRB. Please visit the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website at www.esrb.org for more information about ratings. KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories will be available at North American retailers for the suggested retail price of $29.99(USD).

Since I don't own a PS2, I guess I'll be stuck depending on the Cutscene Archive. It's been awhile, but at least we'll have some new cutscenes to download. :satisfied:

Well, well...It's about time the remake of the Chain was brought to my end! And judging by the price, I'd say it's for the PS2! There's just one more thing we need to say about this: JACKPOT! :) :) :)

Well it isn't a FM+, but at least we get an English title of some-sort.

That's good, hopefully Quinton will reprise as Axel, Tony Anselmo as Donald, Bill Farmer as Goofy, Steve Burton as Cloud and etc.

Oh yes, finally! This is great news. I knew we had little chance to get KH2:FM but CoM:RE was the one I was really pining for. Awesome. And it's on the PS2. Hooray. Okay, going to celebrate now.
Darkwatch
09-20-2008, 03:15 AM
And thankfully it was on the PS2, because I wouldn't be willing to get a PS3 for this.
Though it isn't like they have much of an option here... just look at the price. lol

Now hopefully we will see some screenshots of the English version. I'm excited to see what this will look like.
YES!
I knew we would get it eventually!
Now I can listen to Repliku rant in English! I always wondered what he was saying!
When is it getting a PAL release? (I swear, if it is only for NA... *Readies Pokeball*)
DeadHeart
09-20-2008, 02:20 PM
Hmm....
I think i'll buy it just to see Marly and Larxene voices.
No PAL release means I couldn't care less.
Zion Crayson
09-20-2008, 03:59 PM
No PAL release means I couldn't care less.No PAL finally means a case of NTSC exclusive instead of the dumb US excluded bit from other wacky games. For once Europe would miss out instead of the States. (I'm not trying to act all high and mighty. I'm just noting stuff...)
I haven't been this happy in a while. 'Least I'll be occupied untill all the other games come out.

Sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to believe it until I hold the game in my hands. For what it's worth, I hope I'm proven wrong and it does come out in English.

straight from Square Enix themselves

Beg your pardon? Who had to miss out on Chrono Trigger, Crono Cross, Radiata Stories, the Wild Arms series (kind of, they never reached my country at least), the first two Persona games, quite possibly Mana Khemia and nearly the entire Xenosaga series (including Xenogears)?

With that said, I'll say that it's a rare occurence either way. Back to the topic, I hope SE will either edit the requirements or release FM+ soon afterwards. That would make things a bit easier in my opinion.

I just thought of something. What if they do make KH2Fm to come out with it. I mean do you know how much stuff we missed out on from not getting it plus the new people auditioning might also audition for KH2FM because SE might think "well the people that got the job for the voices are already here so we mine as well make more use of them by giving them more speaking roles, lets say KH2FM."

It's only Re: Chain of Memories.
I don't think we'll be seeing any Final Mix games, but if we do...it's going to be a long wait.<o></o>

Why a long wait?
Why a long wait?
Not sure. Square just can't make their mind up on the issue.

Yeah so can't I.Oh shoot you know what that's a good thing that sora will have Haley Joel Osment's new voice because he could actually sound older now, than in KH1 where he sounded like he was 12.
I heard this game was a blast, the story was great, and it's much easier than the GBA version. I saw gameplay vids on youtube and the players just pwn their opponents more quickly because you do so much damage with just one hit.
P.S. The Marluxia battles look awesome along with the music!
