I bombard you first with a new Lunargyros page! (Slightly late, because I apparently can't date things properly. D:)

OOOOOOOOOOMG. So it looks like the platforms for the new KH games have been announced (from [livejournal.com profile] 0kingdom_hearts):

- Kingdom Hearts III [temporary title] (PlayStation 3)
- Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories 2 (Nintendo DS)
- Kingdom Hearts 0 (PSP)

My (incoherent) thoughts:
- Why is nothing on the Wii? *cryyyyyy* I wanted to go swinging the Keyblade around with the Wiimote! ;_;
- Whelp, looks like I'll be getting a PS3 after all. But at least by the time the game is released, the price of it should be down A whole ten dollars, OMG!. And hey, I can get FFXIII and some new DDR games for it, too.
- ADJkasdjalksdjls! One on the DS AND one on the PSP?! EEEEEEEEK! I want to play both, if I can! But I have neither PSP nor DS, what do I do?! I didn't really want to buy a PSP...maybe I can borrow that, or the DS? But who owns those?! *chews on nails* I MUST NEEDS FIND A WAY TO HAVE THESE HANDHELDS, IF NOT TEMPORARILY.
- I was hoping this was not the case, but if one of the games (CoM 2?) is a Roxas-focused or Org-focused game, I'm going to die. But I'd probably play the game/watch the cutscenes anyway...I'd just have to shut myself off of fandom or something, because I don't know if I can handle the AkuRoku crazies shrieking over a new game. MRRRRGH. I WANT GAME. I JUST DON'T WANT FANDOM. XO
- NEEDS MOAR MICKEY. I want to play as Mickey, dammit!
- Where the hey do Ven, Aqua and Terra come into these? Are they in KH0?

GAAAAAAH *FLAIL*

I DONT WANNA GET A PS3 AND PSP. DDDDDX I hate you so much, squeenix

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Same here. DX I'm totally willing to shell out for a Wii or DS, but I don't want to get either of the Sony products. WHY, SQUEENIX, ARE YOU EVIL.

[identity profile] thanatoast.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a DS because there are enough good games to have warranted the purchase, BUT PS3? Such fail. There is NOTHING on that system besides KH that interests me. And PSPs are just little balls of suck and fail

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I've borrowed a friend's DS before, and it just seemed totally kickass...plus yeah, there's a lot more games I'd want to play on the DS (and the Wii). KH is pretty the only reason I want to get a PS3 (even FFXIII is only a side interest; I'd probably get to it really late in the game like I did with FFXII). I really can't justify/afford getting both a PS3 AND a PSP, so it'd have to be one or the other (preferably neither.)

[identity profile] thanatoast.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, why couldn't they have put it out on the Wii? I have one of those. Or the 360, since I plan on buying on of those.

"Whelp, looks like I'll be getting a PS3 after all. But at least by the time the game is released, the price of it should be down"

You can try and get one in Hong Kong. My brother nagged me to get one while I was there because it was cheaper! XD

"- I was hoping this was not the case, but if one of the games (CoM 2?) is a Roxas-focused or Org-focused game, I'm going to die.

MRRRRGH. I WANT GAME. I JUST DON'T WANT FANDOM. XO"

Now you're making me dread the Roxas one. I should be happy since I'm an AkuRoku fan but when I think about the squealing girls in my fanbase * shudder *. But it makes me wonder...if it's a COM 2, then would we have another Reverse/Rebirth game? Since Nomura was also thinking of a Riku game as well.

And about playing as Mickey Mouse? Hear, hear! :D

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Would getting a PS3 from Hong Kong be okay in the long run? :O I'm afraid a cheaper price will mean a cheaper product, and I don't want the thing to die on me in six months with no warranty!

I know, just...I used to really find the Org. fascinating, but what with the way fandom has gone over-obsessive with them, it feels like it's stopping being the Kingdom hearts fandom and more the Organization XIII fandom. D: I'm just afraid any Org-centered game is just going to make the already-crazy fans even crazier! Which is what we do not need. DX But I'm sure evil Squeenix would be laughing all the way to the bank.

And I don't know! I would actually like to hear of what Riku was up to during the time after CoM, too! I would sit through a Roxas-centered CoM if that meant there'd be another Reverse/Rebirth with Riku's backstory.

Well, I was teasing you a little with the HK one. Mine came from Toys R Us there (and I haven't actually bothered to plug it in to my TV system yet - I only came back from Hong Kong a couple of days ago). But I bought the HK version of KH II from play-asia (which was a few pounds cheaper than the Japanese version) and it worked fine (although that's a game not a games console, to be fair) although I'm not sure if it will be cheap to buy a HK console on that site (although play-asia.com is a pretty good site from my personal experience). How much do they actually cost in the US?

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think a PS3 in the US is about $500.00 now (which is one of the many reasons everyone's been going YAY WII and BOO PS3), but they were coming out with some new-featured PS3 (kinda like the flat PS2, except different) so the original PS3 might drop in price a bit. I want it down to $300 or less by the time KH3 comes out, though. D: Considering the fact that KH is really the only reason I want a PS3 in the first place, the fact that it's that expensive is a huge ARRGH factor.

[identity profile] daisy-the-mage1.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess that the ones on Play-Asia are out then, since they are more expensive. :(

I suppose the best bit is to wait until the price is down (we don't know when the game will come out - if it takes months then the price will probably have dropped, so that'll be an advantage). That's what I was planning to do but then my brother told me that he had a "brilliant idea". I still haven't got any PS3 games yet because none of them look that appealing to me at the moment.

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
My guess is that the handheld games are coming first, and that we won't get the PS3 game until 2009. (I could be wrong, but that is my guess.) If that's the case, then at least we have about a year to wait for the price to drop. :O

[identity profile] taistoi.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
let's get the sane bits of the fandom to pool their money and buy a nuclear bunker in the mojave desert. We can fanspazz and squee over the games without worrying about the "OMGZ AKUROKU NEED MOAR BUTTSECKS" or the "EEEEE NEW CHARACTERS TO WRITE BAD HIGH SCHOOL AUs ABOUT TEEHEE" And in a year, when the initial spazzfest has died, we can come out and rejoin society with our sanity intact.

Also putting up a giant "word" sign on Wii Kingdom Hearts. C'mon, you could even make little Keyblade Wiimotes and swing it around and clobber small animals your siblings/cousins/other family members Heartless with it!

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
This sounds like a most excellent plan. I already don't watch most of the major KH comms on LJ (aside KHFFR) but knowing fandom, that doesn't mean I'll be able to necessarily avoid the insanity. D: I WANT TO ENJOY MY GAMES WITHOUT FANDOM INTERFERENCE, DANGIT!

Although I actually predict that, even if there is a new Org-centered game, a new popular pairing is going to rise to the forefront and become the new "it" pairing, while AkuRoku is going to decline. It may be something that's already rather popular (like Xemnas/Saix or Demyx/Zexion) or it may be something totally new. But since that happened with Sora/Riku, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it happened again with AkuRoku.

[identity profile] taistoi.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The day AkuRoku falls out of fandom grace is the day I'll dance through the halls of my dormitory with joy. No more carpetbombing of AkuRoku on the DA front page! No more shitty akuroku high school AUs clogging the pipes of fanfiction.net!

Of course, it'll just be supplanted by something else, but you have filled me with hope of a brighter akuroku-less future.

Who knows, maybe Nomura and Disney will get over themselves and have some SoKai smooching. I can handle SoKai badfic way better than AkuRoku.

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I would be dancing as well! Not necessarily for the fact that it'd be more crappy AUs and spamming of junk on the dA front page, but just because it'd be something OTHER than AkuRoku. If we must have crap, can't we at least have an interesting variety of crap?

A part of me would be a leetle disappointed if they went for a SoKai smooch, because then it'd be like they were moving away from the central theme of the series (friendship conquers all; power of caring for others, etc.) just for the sake of sticking in a romance.
But then that part's squashed by the part of me that would flip with shipper glee, and point and laugh at the rest of the fandom. XD

[identity profile] taistoi.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd be better if it evolved into "best friends in love" than stapling a romance onto that central theme. I see Sora as loving everyone equally, but having a special place in his heart for Kairi. I don't think that friendship and romance are mutually exclusive, really.

If they can figure out a way to make Riku not third-wheel-y, it'd be perfect. I don't ship the OT3 as hard as some of the others in the fandom, but I know that Sora and Kairi would always accept and keep Riku in their circle.

But I doubt I'd be ignoring that, because I'd be hopping up and down and flailing and waking up my neighbors by screeching. And yes, being able to go "haha, CANON, BITCHES!" would make me happy as a lark.

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
I have confidence that if Square did decide to go ahead with SoKai, they could evolve it from the friendship theme into "something more" theme. But yes, as long as they don't make Riku third-wheel-y! It wouldn't be right of Sora and Kairi at all to start excluding/ignoring him, and their friendship is one of my favorite bits of the series.

[identity profile] ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh fuck you, Square Enix, I'm not buying a PS3! Not until it costs $100!

[identity profile] ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, I just went to [livejournal.com profile] 0kingdom_hearts to find wherever this was announced and wish I hadn't.

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, because of the deal about one of the games possibly being Org-centered, or because of comments in 0k_h?

*is rather glad she does not watch any of the major general KH comms*

[identity profile] ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The realization that the fandom really IS that retarded. :/

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I thought this much was obvious!

[identity profile] loveotter.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh geeeeeeeeeeeeeez I DUN HAVE MONEY FOR A PS3. T_____T But maybe I will by the time KHIII comes out.

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I'm hoping. D: There better be a big price drop by the time KH3 comes out.

I think I can afford a PS3, but I cannot justify getting a PS3 AND a PSP. I'd have to either borrow someone's PSP, or else watch cutscenes on YouTube.

[identity profile] lucky-dance.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
ps3? that's ridiculous! why is there no Wii? maybe they were begged to make something good for the PS3...i guess it'll be on my christmas list. however, my plan of action is to watch all the cutscenes on youtube, wait for one of my rich friends to buy it so i can play it and keep my closet stuffed with new clothes. because honestly, you can't look cute wearing a PS3.

However, the DS news excites me. yay!! (i got one for my b-day so i could play pokemon diamond)

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was hoping since the Wii has been so popular (and considered more family-friendly, since KH is a kid's game) that they would release it there, or at least release it on multiple platforms. But no! Sony roped them in, again! D: Cuuurse you and your evil moneygrubbing ways, Sony!

Now I'm just picturing someone walking around dressed in pants made from PS3s.

[identity profile] lucky-dance.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
this years new fashion item! haha i'd pay more money than it takes to buy a standard PS3 to see an Armani PS3.

I don't know if I can handle the AkuRoku crazies shrieking over a new game. MRRRRGH. I WANT GAME. I JUST DON'T WANT FANDOM. XO

I COMPLETELY AGREE T.T;;; I'd die of happy but OMG... the fandom would make me sick. Come on world, don't make me hate on these two ;.;

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-18 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
The world seems to be doing its darndest to build my resentment. D: Curse it all!

But seriously, the fandom already flipped the crazy over just a few scenes from KH2 and FM. I'd really hate to see what an entire game does to it! Aside from the theory I posted above.

The nice thing about playing the Japanese RE:CoM and KHIIFM+ right when it came out was that I was forced to throw myself out of the fandom for 3-4 weeks so I could play it without spoilers (I dropped *every* KH comm from my flist @.@). I missed a lot of the insanity (and I only poked my head in when I was stuck LOL). I think ducking out of the fandom for a while when it's out'll be good for everyone's health. Then we can go into hibernation when it gets to North America *sweatdrop*

omgomgomg I can't wait for TGS @__________@

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's going to be really rough dealing with spoilers in that time between the Japanese and American releases! D: Before KH2 came out I defriended a bunch of comms and had to be really choosy about where I went on dA. But I have the feeling it's going to be even more difficult for me this time around. Must...stay away...from internets!

It's like Square made some deal with the devil of capitalism for us to SPEND AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE. :o I can afford getting one of those (and maybe borrowing a DS) but there's no way I can get all of them. :(
