i've been a kh fan for quite a while and although SE released this great game world wide, it puzzles all of us that they announce a even better kh labled final mix only to japan. WHAT THE !%^@ ARE SE THINKING? well, we would all like to have an improve version but why are we being denied of the best SE has to offer (as of now) disney claimed that there going to start some project for 2008 intead of releases of fm+, but is been rather quiet or if the 3 games are the secret projects. So i placed alot of thought into this topic and im going to tell what i know so far and then some: kh-fm was made to please japanese fans who miss out on the extra features on the US release, that many dumb game critcs used as the basis of their critisim (see wikipedia).but in my opinion, should SE released final mix out world wide if game shows would discourage it being a updaded version being sold for the same price or less to other people who arent fans but still like it. would that say SE care about critics than the fans tat out number them? kh2-fm+ could have been made for some additional reasons. first, if some one just happened to look through the first kh2 disk 3d models, some were labled after CoM(?) maybe hinting of a remake of the gba game already. second, Nomura talked frequently about time constraints on making the game in the past interview so whatever ideas left out would be carried over to fm+ and they will pretend that us fans in the us and elsewhere wont realy care and we just buy, play, and enjoy :). also when mentioning a release date outside japan, nomura swiched the subject to how much editing they had to do on the original kh2 ( xigbar's crosshairs, or on port royal for example) do they whant to avoid too much work or are the all ready came up with something bigger in mind? BBS was delayed to finish kh-re:CoM,358/2 days and seemed well planed but wont fully take advantage of touch screen features (hm.....) to make it closer to the kh game play. coded has already been announced for two specific kinds of cellphones in japan and even though the us is very diverse, the kinds of cellphone that the people use is not that far to follow. theres a spall chance that we might be missing a part of the story so a remake of it has to come out elsewhere or any other future kh games might be confusing To surmise we as fan like this games and are aware what going on over seas than they think? sooner or later it will catch up to them and if it takes a while to get to SE top exectutives, theres a small chance that they will make a compilation of the entire kingdom hearts series, much like final fantasy 7 or the trinity masterpiece set, including the final mix versions and sell it world wide. who knows, they done some thing similar with Yoko Shimomura and her albums; if they can port ff a X number of times, why not do it with kh. mayby its special :). only time will tell, anyway feel free to reply.
