I wrote a letter to Square Enix. More or less, I wrote a letter to Square USA first, got told they could not use my idea due to legal issues, and this is what I wrote in English to Square Enix USA, and in Japanese,(thank heavens for google translate...) to Square Enix in Japan. NOTE: I do not speak Japanese, Google translated it to Japanese. Here is the letter. NOTE: To protect privacy, some parts have been cut out. Here is the letter: Dear Square Enix: I am glad that you liked my idea, and appreciate your support. Due to legal complications, however you cannot accept ideas from the general public. That is why I am willing give a full explanation of my idea. Title: Kingdom Hearts: Reverse Opening Theme: Utada Hikaru- Time Will Tell (for a slower opening) Or Utada Hikaru- Letters 3 weeks after Kingdom Hearts II, after Sora and Riku have left, Kairi has a dream of Sora and Riku being swallowed by darkness, and both falling into a comatose state. A bright flash of light outside occurs as she wakes from her nightmare, and she steps outside to find Destiny Islands dark and bleak, the normal cheery attitude replaced by something much darker, much sinister. The image disappears, as Nobodies, mostly of the Dusk variant, swarm around the once pleasant, peaceful, tropical paradise. After learning to summon, Rainfell, her first Keyblade, Kairi, assisted by a mysterious young man who later reveals himself to be Shiro Yang, a Keyblade wielder himself, but who also uses a rapier, two katana, and a pair of handcrafted 'stun pistols' which render enemy combatants immobilized to the spot. After an introduction and some explaining, Shiro guess’ that reason for the abundance of Nobodies is a reaction to Anti-Darkness, which instead of destroying a world as regular darkness; Anti-Darkness reverses the world, causing the mirror image to take place of the actual world. After defeating the source of Destiny Islands Anti-Darkness, Kairi, along with Shiro, board the spacecraft called The Flying Wing II, on which she meets the rest of Shiro’s crew and associates. After receiving instruction and some advice from Yen Sid, Shiro, Kairi, and the rest of the group head for Radiant Garden. There, while walking through the borough near Merlin's house, Kairi closes very close to being severely wounded by former Organization members Larxene and Xigbar, who is now Braig. The shock of the event nearly stops her from continuing, but with encouragement, Kairi continues to press forward, undaunted by the odds or the Heartless. At one point, a mysterious crimson hooded girl attempts to persuade Kairi to abort her quest. Kairi refuses, and the two clash. Kairi wins by having herself and Namine fight the stranger away. The mysterious girl arrives again, only for Shiro to ambush her, and Kairi is partially horrified at the face she sees. It is her own face, only with dark black hair intertwined with streaks of dark blue; the girl's eyes pitch black. Once she escapes by using a Corridor of Darkness, Shiro lets Kairi know the truth: the girl's name is Kuro Yin, the embodiment of the Anti Realm's Darkness, while Shiro himself is the embodiment of the Anti Realm's Light. The pair is brother and sister, and sworn enemies of each other. The two have been battling since they knew of each other’s existence. It was only after Kuro discovered she could manipulate her anti-darkness into the Realm of Light that Shiro decided to form a team to stop her rampage before she ruined all worlds, and twisted them into her own image. After traveling throughout all the worlds, Shiro and Hope come to one final conclusion: In order to stop Anti-Darkness from tearing the world apart, they have to go straight to the source, and fight Kuro in the Anti-Realm to stop the Anti-Darkness from conquering the Realm of Light. Each member agrees, though some have doubts. Kairi urges them all on, and they finally reach Kuro's palace. The girl has twisted the very fabric of space to her will, conjuring everything from former friends to exact copies of Sora and Riku. Kairi and the group continue onward, fighting through horde after horde of darkness before finally reaching Kuro. Exhausted, they valiantly put up a last stand, and defeat Kuro. Kuro refuses to fade into darkness and instead stabs Kairi in the heart, possessing the Princess of Heart's own body, ejecting her heart into the beyond. Shiro musters his strength, and blasts Kairi's body with light, forcing Kuro out of the body, her form now like a Nobody, at the cost of Kairi's body. Shiro begins to fade into light, before giving his own body back to Kairi, thanking her for showing him how to never give up, and he thanks the rest of the group for their unwavering support. He then forcibly grabs Kuro's own tangible form with his own, and the pair disappears into light and darkness. Kairi then wakes up on Destiny Islands, shocked to find she is alive. Lightning and Serah fill her in on the details and non-existence of Shiro and Kuro. Kairi asks if they would possibly be able to stay, and the trio walks out onto the beach and watches the sunset. The game ends showing Shiro and Kuro's keyblades impaled in a memorial garden near the beach. For the Secret Ending, a hand, shown off-screen, pulls the keyblades out of the ground, before Light and Darkness pick them up, and send them hurling off into space, as if summoned by their wielder. Lightning Farron- Second-in-command and close combat expert, the former Guardian Corps sergeant, now turned demi-goddess, uses every ounce of her courage and might to stem the flow of Anti-Darkness, along with the rest of group. Often reserved, Lightning is not afraid to show disapproval or concern over missions. Serah Farron- Lightning’s younger sister. Specializes in long-range combat and magic. She cares for her sister with resolve like no other. She has a keen sense of justice, and always supports those around her. Sazh Katzory- Pilot of the Flying Wing II, unmatched in flying skills. A baby chocobo resides in his afro, and he is willing to step back and look at the odds before charging in. He has his own reason for joining Shiro’s group. Hope Esthiem- Technology expert and researcher. Hope provides a voice of reason, looking for motive or scientific explanation behind the appearance of Anti-Darkness. Oreba Dia Vanille- Specializes in healing and mid-range combat, but her sunny and boisterous personality hasn’t changed a bit. She still can be serious when she needs to be, challenging common sense with her own personality. Noel Kreiss- Hunter from another era, Noel Kreiss lends his prowess, knowledge and skill to the team; often playing the peacemaker along with Serah should tension arise. Voice Actors: Main Cast- Kairi- Hadyen Panettiere Shiro Yang- Ryan O’Donohue Lightning Farron- Ali Hillis Serah Farron- Laura Bailey Hope Esthiem- Vincent Martella Sazh Katzory- Reno Wilson Oreba Dia Vanille- Georgia van Culenburg Noel Kreiss- Jason Marsden Namine- Meaghan Jette Martin Mog the Moogle- Ariel Winter Kuro Yin- Alyson Stoner Minor Cast (Sample) The Phantom Blot Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV)- Liam O' Brien Cloud Strife- Steve Burton Leon (Squall Leonhart) - Doug Erholtz Yuffie- Mae Whitman Aerith- Mena Suvari Sephiroth- George Newbern Zack Fair- Rick Gomez Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV) - Yuri Lowenthal Golbez (Final Fantasy IV) - Peter Beckman The Emperor (Dissidia 012)-Christopher Corey Smith Garland (Dissidia 012) - Christopher Sabat Zidane Tribal (Final Fantasy IX- Bryce Paperbrook Snow Villers (Final Fantasy XIII)- Troy Baker Balthier (Final Fantasy XII) - Gideon Emery Fran (Final Fantasy XII) - Nicole Fanti Vaan (Final Fantasy XII) - Bobby Edner More characters and voices can handled for other locations within the game as necessary. The above list for minor or guest characters are suggested characters that can be used in different worlds and environments as needed. Playable Worlds: Destiny Islands Radiant Garden Neverland (Featuring the Disney Films Peter Pan II: Return to Neverland and the films Tinker Bell, as well as Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure) The Toy Box (Based off Pixar Animation Studio's film Toy Story) Lunar Paradise (Based off the Pixar Animation Studio's film Wall-E) Twilight Town Olympus Coliseum Cafe de Paris (Based off Pixar Animation Studio's film Ratatouille) Merlin’s Tower (Based off the Disney film The Sword and The Stone) Port Royal (Featuring the films Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and if needed, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.) The Pridelands (Featuring The Lion King II) Castle Oblivion The Beginning of Anti (The location of Kuro’s palace within the Anti-Realm) Party System and Playable characters: The party system remains fairly the same within Kingdom Hearts Reverse, similar of the previous installments of the Kingdom Hearts series. The party is either a trio or a quartet, depending on the player’s choosing. However, much like the Paradigm system of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2, different combinations of characters result in different bonus for the party as a whole. For example, if the player chooses Kairi and Shiro as well as Serah Farron and Noel Kreiss, the party receives the Guardian bonus, which gives Serah and Kairi a 25% boost in magic, and Noel and Shiro receive a 25% boost in attack. However, if Kairi, Hope and Noel Kreiss are used, the party receives the bonus Reserve which awards the party +10% health and +5% Experience. Different combinations of characters result in different bonus, so the combinations of people are very wide and diverse. The playable roster includes: Kairi Namine (who is 'unlocked' or usable after a side-quest) Lightning Farron Serah Farron Noel Kreiss Sazh Katzory Oreba Dia Vanille Hope Esthiem Shiro Yang Music: Yoko Shimomura, the renowned composer for Kingdom Hearts, along with other composers Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta and Mitsuto Suzuki, each of whom were composers for Final Fantasy XIII-2, would be combined to create the Kingdom Hearts Reverse musical score. Songs range from Yoko Shimomura’s slower, more elegant themes, to Masashi Hamauzu’s more repetitive, up-tempo songs. Mixing existing songs is an element of the soundtrack. For example, a theme for Destiny Islands would take the already produced theme, and mix in the theme for New Bodhum of Final Fantasy XIII-2. If that does not work, perhaps all four composers could each create different parts of the soundtrack, and then combine their work together into one unified soundtrack. Game Engine: The game runs off of The Crystal Tools engine, most known for its use in Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XIII-2. The engine would need to be formatted for Kingdom Hearts fast-paced combat, and yet retain the cell-shaded graphics of the series. Higher quality graphics are a very appealing option. In a better analogy, it is trying to make a Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children look of realistic graphics, yet still a Kingdom Hearts style. Additional Developers: Tri-Ace, who was used in Final Fantasy XIII-2, for additional graphics and design, could provide extra developing muscle should anything arise. Tri-Ace had a very good design in Final Fantasy XIII-2, so why not have them assist Square Enix again? Game platforms: Kingdom Hearts Reverse would be available for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Thank you for reading the letter and I do realize it was rather long. Since you cannot use ideas from the general public, I offer to sell all rights, ideas, and properties to Kingdom Hearts Reverse for a price of.
On July 31st, 2012, North America will Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance avaiable for purchase. That is all.
According to the latest news at KH13, http://www.KH13.com, in a new interview with Nomura he talked about KH3D, which he seemed to be pleased with. He made a slight mention of KH 3, and said he wished he could have given 358 Days "analog control". In other words, KH 3 is near, as soon as the FFVersusXIII team(some of which who have worked on Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy Dissidia) finish. Also, a re-make of 358 Days could, and I say could because it isn't confirmed whether or not it would happen, be made. I'm thinking either Vita or PS3. Most likely the Vita. Don't get me wrong, Days was good on the DS, but let's face one good solid fact: The graphics were kind of poor. Even Chain of Memrioes on the Game Boy Advance had proper 2D graphics. And most of the story was told in button pushing text, with a pixelated background. So, a overhaul to the Vita for possible HD graphics? Hey, if I'm waiting for KH3, and get to see Days on it's rightful SONY console, I'm fine with that. I always wished Days could have been on the PSP..... And if Days is remade, expect a good uproar from Xion fans and Akuroku fans. Akuroku will want to kill Xion. Again. Any questions?
I'm looking for a sig which a photo of Kairi, her keyblade, and these words: The past will be reawakened as a new number. In never-before-seen detail Prepare yourself for the awakening of the new number. Can it be done?
We all know about Young Master Xehanort. He's royal pain. About as much as Vanitas, even if he is in his cloak that looks FREAKING awesome and has glowing red eyes..... So EVIL.... Hey, a good villain makes a good hero. Here's what I know so far: Spoiler: About Young Xehanort In one cutscene, YMX knocks Sora out cold. You see things from first person, and you see a guy in a brown cloak(sound like KH1, anybody?) approach Xehanort, when he was, daresay, twenty-ish. He's the guy with the silver hair and yellow eyes, and the freaky grin. Yup. Him. Anyways, apperantly YMX shed his body to travel time AND collect other versions of Xehanort for the main body snatcher himself. Yeah, messed up, right? And guess who was the guy in the cloak in KH1? Young. Master. Xehanort. Oh, and YMX is the Mysterious Figure. He summons the No Name Keyblade. I'm dead serious. This game gets better and better.
Okay, Blader, here, bringing you top-notch theories and info on Kingdom Hearts 3D! Last Time, we talked about the Secret Ending which featured Spoiler Kairi . Now, we going to talk about the message and a possibilty of a game before KH re:connect (or KH 3, depending on what you call it.) And now, the message: Spoiler: The Secret Message The past will be reawakened as a new number. In never-before-seen detail Prepare yourself for the awakening of the new number. You like? I know I do! I've been thinking IF BBS Vol:2 is a game, which I don't know, would we involve time travel? Square has already used in two games: KH3D and FFXIII-2. Both were and are very good games. Off topic a little, you know about Nobodies, right? You're wrong. I have sources that say: Spoiler Nobodies do not posses their own heart, but instead grow, and yes I said grow new hearts. Hence Axel's line of making me like I had a heart. And as old as this seems: Spoiler People with Yellow Eyes have been possessed by Xehanort.
If you've seen the Kingdom Hearts 3D credits, there's some very juicy and annoying info in them. In the credits themselves, a bunch of letters (english letters) appear throughout. Correct if I'm wrong, but they supposedly spell Spoiler "This game leads to Kingdom Hearts III." There's also a photo near or at the end that shows Donald, Mickey, Goofy, Sora in his DDD attire, Riku in his DDD attire, Xion (YAY! :D), Roxas, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, and this probably shock and cause flaming of her, as well as Kairi. The secret ending. I was wrong. Oh so horribly wrong..... :D In fact, I couldn't be more excited about being wrong! Let me explain. If Sora is gone, and he's the best Light using weilder we have, since Ventus and Aqua are unusable at the moment, and Lea is training or whatever, you need a ace up your sleeve. A really good ace. And who is that person? I'll say it: Kairi. Yes, Kairi is FINALLY making a appearance and will beat the heck out of Xehanort. Best ending EVER. Oh, and Aqua and Xehanort make short cameos. And no, I'm not kidding. Check YouTube. Time to discuss.
Given Xehanort's obbsession with X-Blade, I decided to attepmt to gather a list of possible X-Blade users. So far the list would include: Ventus and Vanitas The obvious choice, pure light, pure darkness. Terra and Aqua They're not pure light and darkness, but they could make one, given both Aqua's giant amount of light, and Terra's large amount of darkness. Perhaps Braig wanted them to make a X-Blade and mess with Xehanort's plans? Food for thought. Riku and Kairi OR Vanitas and Kairi Not exactly possible, but kairi is a princess of heart, and has no darkness. You just need enough darkness to match that, and you have a X-blade. Roxas and Vanitas Roxas is like Ven, alhough he is a nobody. Throw anything at him, and he'll fight beyond death to win. Add Vanitas? You would have a very unstable X-Blade on your hands..... Did I miss someone?
Okay, okay. I'll cut it short. It's probably nonsense, but in Serah's Theme from FFXIII, there are the words "let darkness fade to light". Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't KH3D have nearly the exact same statement?
Due to my complete blitzing of FFXIII, and not getting anywhere (I.e. just finishing chapter 4) I decided to ask the fans here this: Which is better content-wise, Chararecter wise, Wimpy love interest turned herione And overall plot-wise. And, also, I'm asking opinion, not trolling.
Syndicate released today in NA! Yes!
I may have not told anyone, nor can I remember doing so, but guess what? I'm Mormon.
Hey random people who post hi to other people in the Spam Zone! One thing for you: FACEBOOk. XP Opinion is opinion, I understand that. But ya know.....<< >> Oh. Yeah. XP to the XP power!
I dare you to ask me a question.
I'm back!!!!!! As always. How's it going KH-Vids? And is there a small chance, provided I have the right equipment and time, that I could be a guest on the podcast? Maybe?
This, if you accept, is a purely random group of questions aimed at the Users. So, to start off, anybody live in the state of Georgia? I swear it's just me on here, but, whatever.
Now, my brain comes up with some pretty random stuff, but what about a Uncharted meets FFXIII. Think about it. Nathan Drake, Lightning. Eh, eh? EH? No? I think it sounds good. You guys?
After watching the Jump Festa trailer again, I'm thinking. Will Roxas, Namine, and Xion make cameos? When did Mickey, Sora and Riku fight Master Xenahort? That was Aqua, Terra, and Ven. And what ifthe hooded man is the journal from re:coded, or better yet, a different Riku? And what about the BBS trio? Why weren't they shown in the pre-rendering? And what about Kairi? And will Vanitas beat Riku up? And where's the other orgXIII members? Hmm...best to wait till 03-31-2012 and find out! (note: I wait until the game releases in japan, then spoil myself. Beats waiting to long and forgetting.)
Yay! Axel's going to be Axel in the upcoming games and 3-D! I knew they couldn't get rid of Flamesilocks that easy! Anybody else excited?
Like the title says, have you ever had something that you thought needed a sequel, but didn't get one? The video game Kingdom Hearts almost didn't have a sequel, but the fans saved it. On the contrary, the video game Skygunner however, was released and although the plot called for a sequel, the company never made nor developed it. A fan-based sequel was made, but it's rather cheesy gameplay. How about you guys?
