I wish I could say that I'd never died during the Xigbar fight, Blackdrazon, but I'd be lying. Congrats to you for never having lost, though! Here's hoping you can keep that record in II.5, with the recalibrated difficulties and all

...I'm so not looking forward to when he turns that room into that tiny square and uses his unavoidable, most powerful attack, though. I'm going to die many times: I can just feel it.
And I'm right there with you, rawpower and hemmoheikkinen, when it comes to crying over this trailer and the eventual game itself, probably. LOL. I'm going to be such a wreck... But I've been with this series from the beginning, so I suppose it's to be expected. Especially since there might be something KHIII related in the credits or something. I wonder if I'll be able to hold off on spoiling stuff like that until the game comes out in the U.S.... probably not. If there is something, though, here's hoping it doesn't give too much of the KHIII plot away!
Sdod: KHII was the game that they advertised the most, if I'm recalling correctly. And I remember that I used to enjoy the heck out of seeing those commercials. Here's hoping that Disney will be on the scene and actually advertise II.5 this time. Otherwise... I can't really understand what they're doing. -le sigh- This would be a great game to advertise! The last thing leading up to KHIII (most likely), a good entry point for people with Birth by Sleep, more stuff than I.5 had, as well as with some of the most cherished games in the franchise in HD, new Re:Coded scenes, as well as the heavy Final Mix contents we never got... I could go on and on, really.
And I know exactly what you're talking about, SquarePhoenix. If you go to the Sandlot, there's a scene where Seifer's being a jerk to Sora and the gang, basically--and almost gets in a fist fight with them--but the Struggle Tournament prompter tells them to save it for that. LOL. Anyway, I do think it's a semi-important scene, because the scene where you meet them regularly does act like it's continuing off of that one. So it probably would be worth everyone's while to see it=)
