No need to re record a masterpiece but I'll take it.

I was clowning for this too! As soon as people mentioned there was an announcement with a re-recorded Simple and Clean I was like OH MAN SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. Shame that there's still no news.

I love her and this song. It’s one of the few songs that put me at ease. This and Never Is A Promise by Fiona Apple. I prefer the original due to it sounding more ethereal but I like this too. 🥰

Thanks love!! They’re both so dreamy to me. I used to fall asleep listening to NIAP on loop back in college because it was so soothing.

Grain of salt, but someone told a well known Persona/Sega leaker about the steam ports back in Feburary and they shared some info about KH4:

They said the Steam ports were in development since last summer.
A company named BitGroove is working on Missing Link and the next beta test would be in April.
KH4 has some small online features and looks very different from the first trailer. The codename is Quattro.

They said it was coming to Nintendo's next platform, and that there's more outside IP collaboration is planned for Kingdom Hearts series in the future. Same source said they're not remaking FFX (good), but are working on multiple DQ titles and the FFIX remake that's been rumored for years now.

I'm glad it seems like they are loosening up a bit more now for Kingdom Hearts to appear in different IPs. is Now praying for a FF14/KH collab (mostly bc I know it would piss people off lol).

My friend with a bike is friends with someone that is currently working on the localization for KH4 and the only info I was told was that Disney is a pain in the ass to work with lmao which is the least shocking news ever. I'm just happy to hear that development is still chugging along, I'm just hoping we hear something at Summer Games Fest or before 2025 at this rate.

The leaker said it was for IPs that weren’t Square’s and Fortnite is being considered, which makes sense with Disney having a huge stake in Epic now… but ugh, I hate Fortnite.
I’d love a XIV collab though. Give me a Meow Wow mount.

lmao yeah, that tracks. There was some interview where Nomura mentioned how Disney’s rules change every title with what he can and can’t do. It must be frustrating.
But that is great to hear. I hoping we hear something this summer since we have Summer Games Fest and D23.
