So, anyone who read my last post will know that I was not entirely pleased with how Vexen looked and sounded in the KHII Final Mix / Re:Chain of Memories trailer. At all
( Read more... )
I haven't had a chance to play KHII yet so seeing all of this through your art is highly amusing and - when I DO get a chance to play the game - I'm sure it's going to twist my mind and make me think all sorts of amusingly twisted things.
*hugs* With luck it was just a bad screen shot and we can leave poor Vexen with his dignity.
First there was Kingdom Hearts. When it was dubbed and released in the west, they added a few things. The Japanese were upset, and so the game was re-released in a second version called Final Mix, which was basically the English game, with even more extra scenes added. Final Mix was only released in Japan.
Then there was Chain of Memories, for Game Boy Advance. Story-wise it picks up after Kingdom Hearts and tells the next part. Then last year came Kingdom Hearts II for the PS2, and tells yet the next part of the story.
And now they're releasing the same kind of Final Mix for Kingdom Hearts II that they did for the first game. And bundled with it comes Chain of Memories for the PS2, in 3D for the first time. Hope that sorts it out? :)
*luaghs really hard* Get 'em Vexen!!! He desurves it so much!!!
*snickers* You know where they sale Pitchforks and Torches? lol. That comic is gonna have me luaghing all day. I really hope that was just a bad part for Vexen. I might like Xemnas more but we really really really don't need another Hojo. O.o; insane....
I cringed when I saw that one line he had in the trailer. I mean I heard he kicks major ass in battles and stuff, especially in the KH2 battles.
The couple of times I managed to get through CoM I had some trouble taking him seriously in battle because of that... that laugh, but I still pictured him as far more cool and composed (especially yeah like... his only less diognified or stoic expressions were devious smirks).... But... eeeeeerrrgh. I've seen a few other shots of Vexen where he does look more - well, less mad, so one can only hope that it was just a bad choice of scene to show.
I seriously hope they bring this out over here. Considering they completely retooled and overworked CoM and almost doubled the overal size of the game for KH2, I can't come to terms with the logic of not doing it. I would import it in a flash if my Japanese was better, but it's not as great as I'd like to to be. However, if it turns out they won't bring it out, I'll probably just import it anyway XD
That laugh is to be blamed on the American dubbers; his Japanese voice was way way cooler in the original game. And yes, some of the other shots look very nice indeed; I really, really hope he'll be as cool as we know him to be in the actual game. ;_;
And being the hardcore fangirl I am, we've already pre-ordered the game; hopefully translations will show up online soon enough. Else we'll just have to wing it. XD Not as though I could wait for months for it to maybe get here. ;_;
Do you know if they used the same VAs? I know SE has this thing about not changing voice actors if it can be helped so here's reeeeally crossing fingers that it was just a fluke on that line. I will bet you anything though if it gets dubbed the english version will seriously mess him up. Just going by that laugh as an example XP Unless SE is going to be awesome about it and not mess him up ;_;
I've been a little up in the air, actually - half of me really badly wants to preorder it, just for the sake of having it, but the other half of me wants to wait and see. In the long run though I can see I'll be importing it anyway, whether it's from the US or from Japan so I might have to count up my dollars and cents and see if I just might be able to preorder it.
I'd heard there was some kind of Character Report that comes with the pre-order, but I dunno if that's just for folks in Japan or whatnot. But the idea of it was lending to my temptation. One never knows, it may improve my Japanese *laugh*!
I only use my own icons, but thanks a lot all the same. It's adorable. ^_^
And no, they did not use the same VA. For the original game, they used the same VA for Vexen as for.. was it Marluxia? And some other character. Just for those short, random phrases in battle. In the game, he'll be voiced by the guy who does Hojo's voice. Ha, ha, injoke, mad scientists. Gnn. >.<
And yes, there was some kind of book to go with the pre-orders, but alas, it's only for when you order within Japan (we tried to get that package, but no good, so we ended up ordering the game through playasia.com instead)

That made me giggle. I do hope Vexen...gets better. Heh.
Of course, I won't be able to see firsthand unless this dumb thing comes to the U.S. T-T Stupid life, not letting me be able to import this thing.
