News ► Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary Event held in Tokyo on April 10th

[WaltK]

God damn, remember back in the late 2000s when just about every new KH (or Square Enix in general) game trailer was shown exclusively at events and we had to rely on crappy phone recordings, if any, to actually see them?

We truly lived like savages back then.

 

[2 quid is good]

Back then? Bruh they pulled this crap right up until just before KH3's release. Always expect the closed theatre when it comes to Square Enix, ALWAYS.

Yeah. Occassionally.

Back then, we literally didn’t start getting new trailers released directly to the masses until like a month or two before the game’s release.

I remember back when we finally got to see actual footage of KH2FM and Re:CoM…

…released like a month before the game came out. Despite there being at least one trailer being shown behind closed doors months before.

I think there's some miscommunication and I could have worded it better - essentially I felt like your post implied it was a thing of the past and I just wanted to point out that it really wasn't, obviously the internet growing and E3 opening up to the public meant that there was a lot more content than we could have seen "back in the day".

 

[Squood!]

I mean, at least we'll have a video of the event and the possible new game trailer released online.

Unlike the 2014 event where the concept trailer or whatever is still not shown.

So the whole "video will be available at a later date" has me thinking. It wouldn't be very good PR to announce a bunch of stuff and not immediately post it online right?

I understand the event recap video taking time to edit. But not any game/tv series /movie they might reveal.

I ain't no marketing expert but why hype the event online.

I’m hoping this is the case, where the video is delayed for subtitles or to put in the answers to dev questions asked by the NA KH twitter account.

If any trailers or promo materials aren’t up in a reasonable timeframe then I’ll be sad. Feel like shit, just wanna be in Unreality.

I hope that the rest of the world gets some 20th Anniversary merch, I really want that 20th Anniversary hoodie but the one I can order online is a small

There's a 20th anniversary merchandise store? Is that the same place that has the chess set?

Those Sora glasses are calling me, but I don’t think I can get my prescription in them . Is there a website that I can have lenses made for them?

You can take your glasses to your local optometrist and see if they are able to install lenses.

I really want to give SE the benefit of the doubt but I won't be surprised if all we get is second hand translations from people attending the event and no videos on event day.

OMFG!!!! When they released all the cutlery and plates, I didn't have the money to get them. But I have some money saved in the event of KH merchandise for the 20th anniversary, so I'm going to get some stuff.

Thank you!

I wish Xion had a sticker.

I'm not ready

But I'm also so ready. Just freaking give me some glimpse of hope, Papa Nomuraaaaaaaaaaa.

And don't forget y'all, go to google and type in "5pm JST" to see an automatic conversion to your locally set timezone.

 

[HakaishinChampa]

3 Hours, I wonder how much of that time is announcements. 30 minutes of announcements?

 

[NoWay]

How is that possible? It shouldn't be any later than a Sunday.

That's what I was wondering. I was so confused when I googled the conversion.

From what I can tell, I'm going to be waking up Sunday morning to the KH news and hopefully a live concert from Utada doing a KH theme song medley and debuting the KH 4 theme.
