I can't believe, there's not a single topic for Kingdom Hearts... Well! That's why, the Kingdom Hearts-Wota is here and makes one!
Kingdom Hearts is one of the greatest Crossover RPG ever! Everybody should've played this game or heard of this! (Some Disney characters may be OOC in this game series, but it IS funny!
)
I'll give you all now the Timeline of the game series, when was which game of KH released... I don't say anything to the games itself! If you want to know more about the game series, go to Wikipedia or
Kingdom Hearts Ultimania or
Kingdom Hearts Insider =)
KINGDOM HEARTS, Publisher is SQUARE ENIX, the Director of this series is Nomura Tetsuya-sanTIMELINE:March 2002: The very first
Kingdom Hearts game for the PS2 was released in Japan. We from the west (North America and European) had this game with the battle between Sephiroth. It was not in the JP version.
December 2002: Nearly one year later was
Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix for the PS2 released, too. This game has all this, that we from the west has already in Kingdom Hearts! Like... the battle between Sephiroth. AND they're many other things, like many new mini games, two new Keyblades for Sora, new extra cutscenes, and the battle between the BOSS from the Organisation XIII, Xemnas! (Oops, I gave a spoiler hint! XDD) This Boss battle is extra in Final Mix of Kingdom Hearts, and this was NOT in the US nor EU version of the game! That's makes the game so special! In 2003,
Kingdom Hearts II was announced on the
Tokyo Games Show!
November 2004: Another year later,
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was released in Japan, and a few months later in the west. (euro players must've waited until May 2005 for this game T_T) This game plays after the original Kingdom Hearts and before Kingdom Hearts II.
December 2005: Waiting nearly three years,
Kingdom Hearts II was finally for the PS2 in Japan released... The game itself have grown up, when it comes to the graphics. If you beat the game on Proud Mode, then you'll be awarded with a Secret Ending! =) Many of the Kingdom Hearts-Fans thought, that this Secret Ending was a hint for
Kingdom Hearts III, and the rumors started going around the world... but we were all wrong! x3
??? 2006: On the
Tokyo Games Show,
Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ was announced. But there is more!!! They announced that the Remake for
Chain of Memories will be released too! Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix has many new things, like mini games, new items, MANY MANY new cutscenese, a theater mode, where you can watch ALL the cutscenese in English AND Japanese, a new mode called: CRITICAL MODE (This mode is really hard! If you don't give fully attention to your enemies, than you#re dead after a few hits!). Everybody complained about the Proud Mode (the hardest on Kingdom Hearts II) in Kingdom Hearts II, like it was too easy etc. So Nomura and his team made this Critical Mode, to give the fans this, what they want! This game was released as a 2Disc Game. The first Disc is, of course, Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix and the second Disc is Kingdom Hearts: RE:Chain of Memories. That's why, the complete game was named
Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+! Because of the Remake for Chain of Memories.
??? 2007: Again on the
Tokyo Games Show, there was a BIG announcement for Kingdom Hearts!
THREE Kingdom Hearts Games was announced. They are:
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days for the DS; this game is very Roxas-centric and for all Orgnisation XIII-fans the most recommended game ever!!! The plot of the game plays between Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II;
Kingdom Hearts: coded for
only japanese Mobilephones... AND
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for PSP. This game plays 10 years before the very first Kingdom Hearts!
November 2008: The first episode of
Kingdom Hearts: coded was released for the Mobilephones.
May 2009: Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days was released for the DS in Japan.
January 2010: Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep was released for PSP in Japan. It is out on the 9th! So get it, if you want to know, how everything with the Heartless and the Nobodys started!!!
June 2010: Two Kingdom Hearts games will be announced at the E3... One of them is
Kingdom Hearts: RE:coded for the Nintendo DS!
September 2010: Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep will be released in US and EU Market!
