KH3D Trailer...IN ENGLISH!!!!

 Yay! This month, North American, Australian, and European KH Fans get their editions of the highly-anticipated Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. (31st, 26th, and 20th, respectively). Anyway, I looked up the English trailer, and here it is!

 I'm so excited. Though I can kind of see how English dubs change things. On one hand, I like how they changed the "Key to everyone's smiles" to something like "happiness", it's less "narmy". On the other hand, I liked Sorcerer!Mickey's original line about lending strength to Riku and Riku saying he'll be waiting as opposed to the English version about Mickey wanting to be part of a team and Riku saying he will. The old one... just gave me more the warm fuzzies than the new one. But, it could be worse. The dubbing could've been by... 4KIDS!!! *DUN DUN DUN*

  But, I'm still excited. This is going to be AWESOME! Anyone else counting the 358/2 many days in anticipation?

KH3D Release Date: North America and Europe!

  Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. July 31st for North America, people. Seems far away, but it won't be long! (personally, I have Sherlock to keep me sane, so...) As for Europe, expect it to come out August 3rd! So, now begins the watching and waiting...

So, Minor KH3D News...

   Well, to start, on the 29th, the game officially releases in Japan. This will make things a LITTLE harder to get news, as my sources (*cough*WikipediaandTVTropes*cough*) will most likely have spoilers... :( Oh well, there's still the page for it on Gamestop as far as the release date goes...

  But, there IS some other news stuffs:

1. THE WORLD THAT NEVER WAS IS PLAYABLE! (Say it with me, Organization XIII fans, "whoo-hoo!")

and 2. It's been revealed David Gallagher will be voicing the "Mysterious Figure" from Birth By Sleep. You know, the bonus boss who's impossible to beat? I know I do. Come to think of it, he might be "Bright Eyes". And now Gallagher has fulfilled his "Voice two characters" obligation all the American voice actors for the game seem to have. (I'm not counting Repliku and Data-Riku, since they're pretty much Riku...)

  So, that's all I got. What do you guys think? Got any news you've gathered? You know the drill!

Announcement Of Things To Come

  So, I'm not going to let anything get me down! I kind of wanted to let you know some things I got planned:

• MORE Sherlockian Fangirling!
• MORE Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance News!
• NEW! Things I Would Pay And/Or Kill A Man To See!
• AND A Sherlock/Harry Potter "Crossover" Fanfic!

  Why the quotations over "crossover"? Well, you'll see. I won't give anything major away, but it involves a cat, a chest, and a "children's" book. I'll leave you to speculate on that.

  So, your thoughts? Any post suggestions? Artwork requests? Want a long-distance comment conversation? You know what to do!

KH News Brief and SHERLOCK!!

  Okay, so North America has a sorta-kinda release date. We're gettin' it in  the summer, too. No month yet. Well, that's good to know.

  Oh, and I just finished watching the first season (or "series") of this British TV Show, Sherlock. It's awesome, and I'll tell you more stuff 'bout it later. Until then, because I felt this post was too scrawny, I found this video and added it. I kind of like the song...

Europe, Memoirs, and Acting, Oh My! And More Stuff, Too! (More Kingdom Hearts News)

  I learned some new stuff this morning as far as Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance goes. Here we go!

  European readers, listen up! You're going to get the game supposedly in Summer 2012. The release date keeps changing. If you don't speak English, your games will most likely be subtitled only. Sorry, guys. :( If it makes you feel better, North America (where I am) hasn't got our date yet...

  But it should be soon. I've heard that the English voice actors have been working on dubbing, and that they may be done. So the release date should be soon.

  There's also supposed to be a new feature, called the "Memoir" feature. From what I've heard, it's sort of a way to recap the games so far. So, if you have friends without the pleathora of systems that you need to keep up with this series, you could use this to "convert" your friends and get them up-to-date. Or just reminise/refresh your memory. AND, you seem to be able to playthrough parts. So that's what's most likely what Ursula's appearance was about last trailer. YAY! THERE'S STILL A WORLD LEFT! No, wait, I got word there's TWO other worlds left. Sweet....

  Oh, you can apparently switch between Sora and Riku IN-GAME, so no "Save Multiple Games"! Yay!

  And also, Dilan and Even are apparently back, too. And Isa may or may not be back (I read Lea wonders where he is). So, that's about eight members now... Let's make it TWELVE!! Lea's apparently looking for the others, so...

  That's what I got for now. I'm keeping my eyes and ears peeled, so keep clicking back!

It Just Bugs Me...

  So, I've been CONSTANTLY checking and re-checking Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance info to see if the US has a release date yet (sadly, no...). I've checked GameStop, and there's something I've read in the preview buzz that's been bugging me.

 People saying Kingdom Hearts III will be the end.

  Okay, why does everyone assume that it all ends in III? I swear, I read something that Tetsuya said that III would be the end of the Xehenort Saga. They never said that would be the end of the series. Just because it will be the last game where Xehenort must be fought doesn't mean it's the last game...

 There's always another threat. Another bad thing to jeopardize the universe. Maleficent can rise back up and prove to us again how she's "The Mistress of All Evil". Or a whole new threat could come up! There's adventures of past Keyblade Masters. There's adventures in the future. In short, there could always be another possibility for a story.

  Would I be upset if the series ended? Yes. It's been a part of my life for a long time. (Wow, that kind of sounded sad, but you know what I meant, right?) It'll be a sad day when the series ends. But if that's where they want to end it, fine. I know when the series ends, they'll do something amazing. I mean, 3D looks amazing, so III will probably be spectacular.

  But I just don't like people assuming that III is the end. End of story. Until someone officially says, "This game is the grand finale", I'm not just going to jump to the conclusion that III will be the end.

  After all, the beginning is the end is the beginning.

  (Yeah, I don't get it either, I just wanted a song title reference...)

The Awesome Valentine's Day Gift of KH3D

  So, it turns out Tetsuya and the people over at Square-Enix have given us a Valentine's Day gift. And I, will give you the gift of sharing it, because all my followers are my valentines this year.


  Here it is, Happy Valentine's Day, courtesy of Square-Enix...

  So here's what I gathered from the trailer:

• We'll get more explanation as to why Axel Lea's back. And it appears he's on a path to RRRRRRREDEMPTION!
• Sora's story appears to have to do with him dealing with the fact his heart is, as comic I read put it, "A freakin' apartment complex".
• Braig is back, too. (Um, yay?) Still holding out for Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene to come back so we can find out their real names (my money's on Myde, Ludor, whatever Marluxia's is, and Arlene).
• We'll get to go to The World That Never Was! Huzzah!
• Atlantica will apparently appear(?) (>:( That's not Phineas and Ferb...)
• There's some Weird Red Bug-Eyed Organization Hood Guy involved. Let's call him "Bright Eyes" until we know his name...
• ...And Sora's got some sweet dance moves.

    So, I'm psyched even more than ever. I want to see Riku and Sora's stories! I want to see what Lea will be up to! I want to learn who Bright Eyes is supposed to be!

  So, Happy Valentine's Day people!

The Freak's Ranking of the Kingdom Hearts Games (So Far)

 Well, with Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance coming up soon and fast, I felt the need to list the Kingdom Hearts games from the ones I was not as blown away by, and the ones I simply adored.

(*NOTE: I WON'T BE PUTTING THE ORIGINAL CHAIN OF MEMORIES (FOR GBA), THE VCAST GAME, THE MOBILE GAME, OR THE ORIGINAL coded (CELL PHONE GAME) AS I HAVE NOT PLAYED THOSE).

  6. Re:coded This is probably my least favorite game in the series. It wasn't horrible, but it was sort of... eh. Not exciting, but not a waste of $35. It was interesting, the different "game styles" in the world (but the Hollow Bastion gameplay was a tad annoying). Plus, the pictures for interactions instead of 3D lip-locked characters WAS a little less... weird. But I admit, having freakin' CLOUD as a party member in Olympus Coliseum was pretty cool, even if it was for a few seconds.

 5. Re: Chain of Memories Okay, for starters, I didn't have TEH EPIC HATEZ for the Card System that most people have. Yeah it could be annoying (DANG IT, TINKER BELL! QUIT MAKING ME HAVE TO TAP TRIANGLE FOR HEALTH! YOU GAVE IT TO ME INDISCRIMINATELY IN KHI!!) but it wasn't so bad. Plus, I could summon FREAKIN' CLOUD to slash things! Huzzah! And, of course, there was Axel. THIS was the game that made me fall in love with our favorite red-haired, wise-cracking pyromaniac. The exact moment? Two words and an action: "Good Bye." *snap* That is all.

 4. Kingdom Hearts II This was a very good sequel. It introduced us to the stylish Roxas and the rest of Organization XIII. There were some fun times, and the Commands were easier (though I hated that I had to change the side to get Summons) and being able to change Party members without going to the Main Menu. But I disliked that it felt kind of easier and FIGHTING FREAKIN' DEMYX!!! DARN YOU, DEMYX! FIGHTING XEMNAS AS THE FINAL BOSS IS EASIER! But still, it was a good game.

 3. Kingdom Hearts The one that started it all. I remember when I first played it, I excitedly was telling my Dad about how awesome the opening was ("And then, I (Sora) looked over and saw me ,falling from the sky, then I was falling, and..."). And there was that immortal moment when Sora sacrifices himself to save Kairi. And then Kairi saves him. Aww... The first game is a classic. Truly, a classic.

 2. 358/2 Days This is the better of the two DS games. I like the fact it had Multiplayer missions and the story. It introduced me to Xion (whom I adore). And I loved the fact it had cutscenes (Re:Coded had them, too, true, but Days was first, so I was more impressed). I also loved the immortal line: "Roxas, that's a stick." Anyway, it was a good game, and I played it nonstop. I was always itching to play it again.

 1. Birth by Sleep This game was amazing. There's the technical stuff, like the graphics, but also the other things. I loved Ven the minute he got excited for a meteor shower. And Aqua was awesome, I think we can all agree. And Vanitas, he's just such an evil jerk... I love him that way. And there is Zack Fair from Crisis Core. Lord, I need to play his original game. Just... Overall, it's just... it's just an awesome game. It was TOTALLY worth buying a PSP.

  So, that's my take on the games so far. I love this series overall. It's kind of hard to rank them, but I have. I can't wait for the next installment. So, what are your guys' thoughts?

KH3D JAPANESE BOX ART UNVAILED!

  Well, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance box art has been unveiled. (*gasp* Just like the post title says!) And here it is:

SORA! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

 This is just amazing. I almost wonder if there's foreshadowing. Sora falling as Riku rises up. Maybe it's symbolically showing Riku will rise to the occasion and rise up as a hero. Boy needs some nice things to happen to him.

   But then what does that mean for Sora? Will Sora have to face some INTERNAL DARKNESS!? That would explain my beloved, evil Vanitas appearing. OOH! Ooh, ooh, OOOOOOOOH!!!!! Will we have Vanitas and Sora having a battle in the center of the mind? heart? Will Ventus, Roxas, and Xion appear to give him backup in that senario? I hope so! The fact Mickey's reaching for Sora sort of supports my "Sora's INTERNAL DARKNESS" theory.

    Also, I dig the stylized "10" (the Keyblade and the heart) to symbolize the 10th Anniversary of the series. Wow, ten years. Has it really been that long since Sora first had his Dive Into The Heart? Ten years since Riku was possessed by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness? Ten years since Tetsuya Nomura and the guys at Square-Enix proved to the world they COULD make a Final Fantasy/Disney Crossover work? Crazy how the years fly by...

   Well, that's the Japanese cover art. The North American cover is still possibly, as Young Justice's Robin would say, "veiled". I hope that the North American cover is the same as this one.

  Well, that's all the news I got for today! Your thoughts?

The 1st Annual Loveable Freak Flag Awards: Nominees *VOTING CLOSED*

   So, I saw the results of The Golden Globes (I couldn't watch them, NBC kept screwing up >:(...), and was displeased by the results. Mostly because 1) Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was not nominated (but maybe it wasn't out in time), 2) Superhero movies are NEVER nominated, 3) I rarely know what half the movies up are (It's usually the first I hear of most of the flicks), and 4) Two of the Animated Movie nominees I saw that I felt should have won (Rango and Puss in Boots) did not.

  And the Oscars are more or less the same.

 That's why I've decided to have my OWN awards! Featuring outstanding and entertaining moments and people/characters in movies, TV shows (read, mostly cartoons), and for the heck of it, video games.

 So, without further ado, the nominees for the 1st Annual Loveable Freak Flag Awards!

*Awards may not have all categories due to the creator of the awards not having any ideas for some "typical" award, :(, and some categories have more nominees than others .*

Quick KH3D News-Thingy

  'Kay, so maybe I was misinformed about The Firebird being the boss for the Fantasia world (Symphony of Sorcery) in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, as I said earlier. But CHERNABOG will be a boss for Riku. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! As I said before, it took me a good long time to beat KHI Chernabog.

  Oh, and there will be seven worlds in need of awakening in the game. There are six that have been already said, so there's one more left to reveal. My fingers are still crossed for a Phineas and Ferb world. C'MON! I WANNA SEE SORA AND RIKU IN DANVILLE!

 

  Wouldn't it be awesome if P and F had a world in KH, if Phineas says a line in a "conversation pit" (you know, places where you can talk to characters without cutscenes) alluding to the fact Vincent Martella (Phineas's voice) was in Final Fantasy XIII. Something like:

"Hey, Sora! That's a cool sword you have! Wish I had something like that. Like, I don't know.... a boomerang! Hey, I know what we're gonna do tomorrow!"

  No, I haven't played FF XIII, but I would still find something like that awesome. I got a soft spot for Actor Allusion. Anyway, guess we got to wait a while for the last world to be revealed. Besides, Japan's getting the game next month, so it's only a matter of time before we find out.

 I can't wait to find out about North America's release date....

I Defend: Xion

  Yes, I've decided to defend a fictional character. So there.

  *Mild Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Spoilers Here*
  In the Kingdom Hearts fandom, most of the original girl characters are pretty controversial. You know, some people like/love them, others dislike/hate them. Except Aqua. Aqua is pretty much awesome to everyone. We all pretty much agree on her (any dislikers are silent).

  Anyway, Xion appears to get the worst of it. And I feel bad. I love Xion. I'm not "HOW DARE YOU DISLIKE XION! ROAR! IMMA KILL YOU, HATERZ!" I just feel like she doesn't deserve some of the hate she gets.

  Before I go on, I just want to have a quick disclaimer. Everyone has the right to like/dislike a character. That's fine. I'm just against irrational hate and excessive hate.

  1st reason I'm just going to get out of the way is "I hate you 'cuz you get in the way of my favorite pairing!" I think that's a stupid reason to hate someone/a character. Just because you perceive so-and-so as a threat to a potential relationship doesn't always mean you should hate them simply for that. I find that a tad immature.

  2nd reason is that "She don't do much!" Okay, granted, we didn't see Xion do many BIG things in her time as Number XIV. She did beat that massive Darkside (though some many argue that Roxas weakened it). But we didn't get to see her non-Roxas missions, so how can some people accuse her of being useless? She has the same job as Roxas, ya know?

   And we see signs of her improving mighty nicely. In her and Axel's first face-off, I felt she held him off rather well. Remember, Axel is an EXPERIENCED assassin. It would have been interesting to see how it'd have played out if Roxas hadn't spoken up.

  And in their second showdown. Yes, we only saw the results, and I know Xion lost. But she also wore our favorite red-haired pyro down but good. I mean, he collapsed shortly afterward.

(I'd say skip to a certain point in the video, but I feel Quinton Flynn's (Axel) performance was particularly awesome in this cutscene, so it is worth seeing. Seriously, listen.)

   Honestly, I don't think it's right to say she's weak when she's shown she's pretty capable.

 That's all I can come up with now. But, if anyone has heard any other "Anti-Xion" arguments, let me know, and I'll try to address them. But for now, I leave you with this:

STARE INTO THE BIG EYES OF MANGA XION AND TRY AND THINK BAD THOUGHTS ABOUT HER!

    I appologise if I have offended anyone.

Japan Has A Realease Date For KH 3D, English Website Up, And More!

   Japan's release date for Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance is now officially March 29, 2012. Sadly, there is no official release date for North America or Europe yet.

  But we got the official website up now! Whoo!

  Yeah, they don't got much yet. All that's up right now is another trailer, in Japanese (but the localized trailer's coming soon). It's more or less Jump Fiesta Trailer: The Abridged Version, but there are some new additions worth a look.

    Also, there's to be a Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Box coming out soon (in Japan, at least), that's to have all sorts of wonderfulness to commemorate the series' milestone. IT will contain KH 3D and the two traditional DS entries of the series (358/2 Days and Re:coded, (already got those, though)), 12 post cards with the cover art from the past games, and a protect cover. And there's a hardware bundle. Hmm... maybe I should hold out a little longer before I rush out and grab a 3DS, in case the US gets this offer...


 Now, I leave you with this new screenshot, showing FANTASIA MICKEY!

  *gasp* Could it be? The King, possibly dabbling in teh dark magikz? I dunno, but I can't wait for the English game just for an explanation...

RANDOM GUESSES 2!!!!!!

   Yep, I have more WMGs. Just to recap: Wild Mass Guessing is something from TV Tropes that people post their guessings and theories for a work. They can be serious ("_____ is the traitor") or hilarious ("Perry the Platypus is Agent P" (true WMG)). So, like last time, Guess is in bold, explanation is regular guess.

Darren Criss Will Get To Cameo in Legend of Korra

 I thought I read somewhere that Darren Criss was an Avatar fan. But seriously, it'd be awesome to have a character that resembles Darren singing in the background.

Or alternatively...

Criss Will Get A Role in A Disney movie and/or Kingdom Hearts

  I know fo' sho' that he's a Disney fan. It would be SO FREAKING AWESOME if he was in a future Disney Animated movie. Especially a musical. Or in Kingdom Hearts, what with it being 50% Disney. And maybe, just to up the awesome of potential Darren-in-KH, he could get a scene with Jesse McCartney (who's pretty freakin' cool, surprisingly to my younger self, Lil' Freak) and Quinton Flynn (one of the undisputed awesomeset voice actors EVAH!)! I would die of the sheer greatness.

David Gallagher has a bit of a mancrush on Riku

  Five words: "Riku is a sexy guy". That is all. Just... watch the first few minutes of this old interview. (It even has a musical remix, for those interested, on YouTube!)

----


 Yeah, my guesses are a bit more meta and not a crazy as last time, the old ones were better. But still.


 EDIT: One more I remembered:

Riku is a Horcrux For Xehenort

  I watched the last Harry Potter, and I think this works. Maybe when Riku was possessed part o' old Norty's soul broke off in our boy Riku. Plus, there's the whole "Xehenort rhymes with Voldemort" thing. Coincidence, I THINK NOT!!!!

There. I'm done.

KH3D NEWS, REVELATIONS, AND THEORIES I HAVE/SUPPORT!

  Okay, ANOTHER world's been announced. The world is based on Fantasia. And we WILL see Sorcerer Mickey! And I here the boss is Firebird, not Chernabog, so halleluah! Chernabog took me for FREAKIN' ever to defeat!

  Also, I realized something about the trailer. Lea and Ienzo are a little old for their scene to be a flashback to Pre-KHI... Yes, yes they are. So... obviously...

Lea.

Has.

Come back.

To life!

  Oh heck yes! Feel sad that this means little Ienzo DID "die" as a kid. *sniff* Small children death is depressing....


 BUT LEA IS BACK FOR GOOD! AW, YEAH, BABY!


  I have a theory about Lea. That he IS IMMORTAL! Here's an example of my reasoning: He was meant to die when he fought Roxas at the end of the tutorial, but since the fans loved him (and I think the dev team did, too), he lived 'til nearly the end. And now he's back! So he was OBVIOUSLY on to something with that "live forever in everyone's memories" thing:

  Skip to 2:43.

   Also, I read this theory that I just ADORED. It was that Kairi will be training to use that there Keyblade o' hers, and Lea will at some point run into her (maybe even help train her) and it will be AWK-WAAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!! I picture that going like this:

LEA: (pops into room with Kairi) HELLO!

KAIRI: (Freaks out and goes to attack Lea)

LEA: WHOA!

MICKEY MOUSE: (jumps between them) No, Kairi, this is a friend. This is Lea...

KAIRI: (stops) I know him. He kidnapped me!

LEA: Eh, I don't like to live in the past... Sorry 'bout that.

...Or something like that.

  So, anyone here anything else about the game? Anyone excited about Lea?  Any theories you got? Let me know, ,people!

2012

  So, it's 2012. Well, if we're all going to die this year (which I highly doubt. There's evidence out there against it, but does anyone listen? Noooooooo....) it would be an awesome year to end. Because...

1. The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra comes out this year! (AND IT LOOKS AWESOME!)

2. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. That is all..

3. THE AVENGERS! THE AVENGERS! THE AVENGERS!


    Yup, the world may possibly end (which I still have skepticism about). But hey, at least it'll end with watching Legend of Korra on the Internet while playing KH:3D before heading to the movies to get my fill of Hawkeye, Black Widow and Robert Downey Jr.'s combined awesomeness. I'm totally content with that.

Even MORE KH Dream Drop Distance News

  So, I found out even more about Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance:

• There will be even more World Ends With You characters. (I REALLY should play that game..)
• There WILL be a high-quality FMV with Xion AND Axel in it! (YAY!)
• More Confirmed Worlds: The Three Musketeers and TRON: Legacy.
• Sora gets a new Tron Suit and Riku gets his own Tron suit (sweet).
• There will be a young Xehenort.
• VANTITAS. WILL. APPEAR. (HECK. YES!)
• Apparently Ienzo will get older (maybe this will make his implied death less... sad).
• LEA IS IN HERE! (AND HE LOOKS MORE LIKE AXEL!)
• Japan's release has been confirmed for March 2012 (still no word about North America... :( )

 This game continues to look more and more awesome. This could possibly be the best game ever, and the forecast says it will be a million and six times better! Who knows? I can't wait to find out more. And to get my freaky little hands on a 3DS and play it.
Here's the latest trailer for the game. C'mon! Come out already!

New Worlds For KH3D (And My Suggestions)

 So, I know two of the new worlds in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. One is a Hunchback of Notre Dame world and apparently Pinocchio is getting a new world, too. Oh, and Traverse Town will have two new districts.

 Anyway, I had some ideas for potential Kingdom Hearts Worlds:

- TANGLED WORLD

World Name: Corona

Why: Well, one of the themes in Tangled is following your dreams. And this is DREAM Drop Distance. Eh? Eh?

Story: *NOTE, I'm assuming the story'll be like Birth By Sleep, with Sora doing one part, and Riku doing the other, so that's sort of what I'm doing here* Sora will help Rapunzel and Flynn get to the Kingdom, and Riku will drop in when Flynn gets arrested, help him bust out of the dungeon, and get to Rapunzel's tower.

- MARVEL WORLD

World Name: ... I got nuthin'

Why: 'Cause it's awesome. 'Nuff said, true believers.

Story: ... Again, I got nuthin', Avengers won't be out in time. :(

- PHINEAS AND FERB WORLD

World Name: Danville or Tri-State Area

Why: Awesomeness/Hey, Neku's the first Non-Final Fantasy Square character in KH, why can't Phineas, Ferb, and the Gang be the first non-movie Disney characters to be in KH?

Story: Mini-Game World. Sora helps the boys with what they're gonna do that day (complete with rhythm game for the necessary musical number!), while Riku helps Agent P thwart Doctor Doofenshimrtz!
