So is anyone from KHGAF gonna take the plunge and go with Japanese Unchained if we don't have a date next month?
I'm kinda tempted to considering i've played Chi for a couple of months now and wanna transfer my avatars look, but on the otherhand it'd probably be much more enjoyable if I just waited for the English version and kept it fresh. Granted my iPhone's pretty outdated now so i'm not even sure if it'd meet the requirements to run Unchained.

Napalm?
Napalm.
Long story short, KH is a confusing mess and one of the folks who produced that video came into this thread to get help sorting it out.
Sounds like some kinda Frank.
You're on KHGAF, anything we say is biased!
I kid, I kid. But seriously falk I wouldn't worry too much about it

Alright, I was able to complete 100% Terra on critical, each boss was getting worse and worse but I'm glad I did not give up, The Unknown is still one of the worst gaming experiences I ever had, now I'll have to do it all over with Aqua and Ven but thank god I don't have to use bulky Terra again.

Guess my 4 might have a chance of running this afterall if it runs that good on a 4S.

I 100% Aqua and Ventus whee~, Unknown wasn't that bad with Ventus and Aqua, No heart was giving me some trouble with Aqua but it only took a few tries, I didn't struggle against the bosses like I did with Terra, now I understand why he did not pass his mark of mastery exam, he is not good in combat and neither controlling his darkness.
Nah, he didn't pass his mark of mastery because he wears shitty pants.

The Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ service will begin at 12PM JST. That's 8PM PST and 11PM EST.
It seems like we have to wait until later to actually play. Nice that you can download it early, though.
the most surprising people post on GAF
is this an example or reaction?
It would go up on the Android store, but not iTunes around the time i'm about to go to bed. Ah well, not like i'm missing out on anything by downloading it in the morning.
Wait.
What's happening? Are... are they really stealth releasing a KH game (albeit a port)? No fanfare, no press release (no huge thread in Gaming), just... boom, there you go?
This feels wrong.

What happened to that fucking WORLD WIDE RELEASE NOMURA
Worldwide release != simultaneous release.
That said, considering the semi-stealth release of the Japanese version, it wouldn't be too surprising if they made it available outside Japan within a week or two. Or it could take 3 months.
What happened to that fucking WORLD WIDE RELEASE NOMURA
Japan always gets it first with companies based there. Consoles are dying over there but this is a mobile game so maybe it'll pull okay numbers.
Not Sonic.
That's because they know.

Real question is:
Is it a good mobile KH game ?

Sonic was deliberately made to be a western franchise, but you already knew that
Compared to flash Chi this is like heaven. It runs so good, even on my old iPhone.
Can't wait to play it all over again.

There's so many people they killed the servers. Hopefully the US one will be up within two weeks
Here's hoping
It's really interesting to see how Unchained cut down the fat/mmo elements to Chi making it feel like a much more smaller, built for mobile title. Missions are segmented into small areas of Chi's map rather than exploring the whole thing like in Chi. In some aspects this is great as it allows you to get through the story and game quicker, but on the other hand I do miss the ever expanding and huge browser game feel vanilla Chi had to it.
Also interesting message from Nomura since Unchained launched

Also note how it makes no mention of a Western release date Blood Diamonds

This implies that the game's about halfway done in terms of missions/story content and that Nomura hasn't changed one bit and people will have to play Chi/Unchained to once again have a clue what's going on in 3 at times.
Those poor people that think they can skip everything after 2 and just jump into 3 knowing what's happened

When it comes to the story told in Chi so far, it's really not all that in-depth. It introduces a few new characters/concepts & maybe hints somewhat vaguely at what kind of story threads KHIII will have, but overall so far it's not even nearly as important as other spin-offs like Birth By Sleep, Chain of Memories or Dream Drop Distance and is more in the realm of Coded.
Currently, all that it does is introduce the Foretellers & the Book of Prophecy, sheds a tiny bit more light on the Keyblade War and hints at Xehanort's (or someone somehow assosiated with him) role in all of it. If Foretellers are introduced to KHIII, Sora & Co will need to have them explained, so that's not much of a problem for people who haven't played Chi. If the book of prophecy is important for KHIII's story, that will also need additional exposition in KHIII as to how it relates to KHIII's story and not just its role in the Keyblade War. The Keyblade War stuff itself is nothing deep, just a bit more background info about it. And why a certain seen-in-the-future Keyblade looks like it does and how it ties to the Foretellers is also something that will likely be revealed or much expanded upon in KHIII rather than something that will be thoroughly explained in Chi and left without much explaining in III.
And Chi's whole deal about
Dream Eaters
I mean, if this stuff is as important to KHIII as Nomura implies, then most of it will need to be expanded upon & explored with a lot more depth in KHIII itself. Chi might introduce these important characters & other stuff, but if they are to be brought into the "future" somehow, their existence/relevance does need to be explained, and that explanation will have to include some kind of briefing as to what/who they are.
So far Chi is more like how Coded teased the return of MX & the Mark of Mastery that were then more thoroughly handled in DDD, which made Coded almost obsolete from a story POV because all of it was explained a lot better. I see the same happening with Chi. It explains the origins of the Keyblade War and introduces some characters & concepts that might be important for KHIII somehow, but to have those characters/concepts be important in KHIII, their existence/importance in the NOW will have to be explained and that will likely have to include some kind of explanation as to who they were in the past.
Take something like the Book of Prophecy. Ok, Chi players already know it exists and will have a rough idea what it is, but if they are to introduce it as some kind of important piece of KHIII's story, they'll need to justify it somehow and that justification will likely include some kind of explanation as to what the Book of Prophecy even is. So people won't be left in the dark too much vs. Chi players. Sora won't just suddenly start talking about the Book of Prophecy in KHIII as if we should know what it is. Some villain might mention it first before it is explained and that's when Chi players will have a slight advantage in knowing roughly what they are talking about, but there will surely be a point in the game where Sora & Co will get an explanation as to what the BoP is (if it's important to the story).

I guess I'm new to this thread since I haven't posted here before.
I didn't have a chance to play the series until 1.5 came out, so I ended up playing through that at launch. I finally got 2.5 more recently and played through it last month. Since then, I picked up Dream Drop Distance two weeks ago and just finished it earlier tonight.
Now that I'm actually caught up for the moment, I can finally enter this thread without worrying about spoilers.

Me playing the NA version of KH Chi:
Well, there's still the Chi spoilers that Dreamydrop used to put in this thread for the browser game.
And people say the keyblade looks impractical.
They display all the weapons they make for the show.
What is X, again? Chi? All I know is that it's apparently a mobile game that may or may not get localized? Does it have critical story elements? Is it actually fun to play?
Cause I want more KH

"χ"... A most ancient letter. Some say "kye", but the meaning is the same. Death... A letter that spells endings.
Supposedly it's not that bad of a game. Not neccessarily critical story elements, more like deepening the lore with some elements appearing in KH3. It is getting localized.
