No, not Xiv. >_>
I read somewhere in the khinsider forums that someone heard that Ashley Tisdale, of all people, will voice Larxene in Re:CoM. Heck, it was even in the KH Wikia. (They took it out, though.)
And my only reaction to this: WHAT THE HECK?!
Please tell me this is only a rumor. PLEASE. If this rumor is true, I'm going to douse myself with cold water and cry. And headdesk endlessly, too. >_>
Besides, I think there's a better person who can actually make Larxene sound like herself. *coughEvanRachelWoodcough* >_>
I didn't say anything. <_<
(P.S. About Evan Rachel Wood . . . I was just kidding. XDDD)
Also . . . - Marluxia was originally supposed to be a female character. XDDDDD Which explains the flowers and the PINKNESS. (Yes, the pinkness needs to be emphasized. *sage nod*)
- Apparently, this shoe company Airwalk have shoe designs . . . named after Demyx and Roxas. XDDDDDDD Seriously. The Roxas design is actually the 'Roxas Dot'. No clue on what the Demyx one's complete name is, though.
- Nature lacks trivia right now. XDDD;; Come back later!

A series of unknown forces have directed me here. Ohnoez, don't tell me there are more KH games coming out soon? DX Should I even bother getting the first two games now? Or have I severely missed the bandwagon by a few years? >_> <_< XD Kidding, of course. I'm thinking of asking for them as Christmas gifts, 'cause my mom asked if there were any games I wanted and I kinda blanked a little, only remembering Grafitti Kingdom at the time. XD but recently, I've been running into KH related things, and that made me remember that I still want to play both games.  It's like, a sign. Yep, more KH games. They come out in Japan sometime this year or next. But it shouldn't be too late to the first games. What you need is: - Kingdom Hearts- The first game, which introduces the characters and worlds.
- Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories- For the Gameboy Advance, not PS2. It basically fills in everything between 1 and 2. You don't need to play this to understand KH2, but it will stop a lot of HUH!? When did we learn this!? moments.
- Kingdom Hearts II- The most recent game.
And the upcoming games are: - Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep- This one is on the PSP, and is set 10 years before the original Kingdom Hearts.
- Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days- For the Nintendo DS. This is the story of the villains from Kingdom Hearts II, from their point of view. It also has multiplayer with all 13 members of Organization XIII!
- Kingdom Hearts: Coded- A mobile phone game. I'm not really sure what this one is about...
So yeah, that's the Kingdom Hearts series in a nutshell. |

It'll also be out by Christmas. =3 |

So yeah, that's the Kingdom Hearts series in a nutshell. I don't think I want the GBA game... unless it has really good gameplay or something. and I don't have a PSP, so there's no way I'm getting KH:BbS. I also don't have a mobile phone... but we all know how sucky mobile phone games are anyway. XD The NDS game sounds interesting. I don't know what the Organization XIII is, though. Is that like a rip-off of the Akatuski or something? XD EDIT: Oh, it IS for the PS2? XD Well, then I might have to get it aswell. |

I don't know what the Organization XIII is, though. Is that like a rip-off of the Akatuski or something? XDl I don't know what that is. Is it like Organization XIII? Organization XIII is made up of these thirteen Nobodies that got... organized. They don't really seem to have any real goals, but the leader wants world domination type stuff. And despite the name, there's recently been confirmed that there was a fourteenth member. All the members of the Organization have an anagram of their "Other"'s name +"X", for instance Roxas, the Nobody of Sora. So, yeah, that's my really bad summary of the Organization. |

...I was about to say the Organization is the group of bad guys in CoM and KH2, but Bacon's description works too. :3

The Akatsuki are an organization of bad guys in Naruto. XD They all wear pretty black cloaks with red clouds on 'em.  Roxas is an anagram of Sora with an X? H0MG. Why didn't I notice that? XD I knew they were related in some way, but I didn't notice the similarity in their names. DX ...what's a "Nobody"?  An evil clone or something?I should probably just play the games first. XD |

...what's a "Nobody"? >_> <_< Like, evil clones or something? When a Heartless steals the heart of a particularly strong-hearted person, an empty shell is left behind... a Nobody. ...Or something like that; it's been a while since I saw that cutscene. XD; Yeah, if you're planning on getting the games, they explain most of this stuff in cutscene-y detail. |

Ohnoes... FF-style 4 hour cutscenes that you can't skip? |

And if I remember correctly, the cutscenes weren't skippable in KH1, but they were in KH2. Which I'm only recalling because I've got the cutscene that plays before the final boss in KH1 going through my head rather vividly, but I can't recall the details of the one before the Xaldin fight. >_> |

Nothing I love more than those "put down your controller" type cutscene moments in gaming. XD [/sarcasm]
Especially if there's a rather long one just before a really tough boss battle... and you keep losing.
Though, if I'm into in the story enough, I suppose I wont notice.

I love long cut scenes, usually. They tend to be a nice break from the really simple facial animations and your amazing ability to stick half your leg through the wall. [< <] [> >]
Nobodies, as far as combat goes, are faster, usually stronger, and creepier when you pay attention to their tiniest details.

XD Gotta love collision detection on some games.
For example: When enemies go flying accross the room, and land half way through the wall on the other side.
Is it really that easy to scan for tiny details while in the midst of a heated battle?
*squints* =O Axel has 8 points on his chakrams, his hair is red dye #42, he has 42 frames in his idle animation, and when he does certain attacks, he hovers at least 5 pixels from the ground for approx. 5 seconds!

Fortunately, KH's collision detection is nowhere near that bad. There's just some minor clipping issues. Well, certain things like facial animations are so ingrained that the lack of them looks awkward even if you're not looking. Especially since KH tends to have pretty good facial animation for its high-quality cutscenes. |

It's like, a sign.
