bull crap, who saids ur right,
Facts do. Which you would see if you had actually read my posts.
just because u think ur right,
I know I'm right. The chances that I'm wrong are practically zero...scratch that, they're zero.
doesnt give u right to bash other peoples hopes,
That's not what I'm trying to do. Just trying to be realistic here. As is Seftex and the other people who say it's not coming. And your hopes will be bashed by other people besides us anyway.
give me reasons why it wont come out, go on..... educate me
Gladly.
Firstly, it has been a very long time since SE released KH2FM in Japan. They've had plenty of time to announce a release date, or even the slightest intention of releasing it here.
SE had their last, biggest chance at this year's E3. It was their last chance to announce plans for an NA release, when the american audience was watching and listening. And they said nothing.
Silence speaks for itself, the fact that they said nothing proves there's nothing to say. And it's far too late now for them announce it, they've never taken this long to announce ANYTHING.
We will not be hearing anything at Jump Festa, nor would we have heard anything at TGS, because they are both japanese events. And the japanese could care less about what games are released outside of Japan. Just picture it:
SE rep: Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to announce that KH2FM will be released in NA in (insert date here).
TGS/Jump Festa attendees:...SO?
Make any sense? Thought so. Also, unpredictably has its limits, and saying that "LULZ, SE HAS DONE WIRD THINGS BEFUR" to justify otherwise is just stupid.
and also do u think that the people who call the company and make petitions on the net have a chance of getting of what they want?
My second point: no. E-mails and petitions are pointless, they will do nothing. SE does not take online petitions seriously, nor does virtually every other company. As for the e-mails, SE knows that it has to cater to the casual fans ( the majority), and not the minority of hard core fans who send letters, e-mails, etc.
Thirdly and finally, it would be a horrible business move. You see, most of the people who buy the KH games take games on a very casual level.
These kind of people tend to avoid DC's. They would not be interested in KH2FM, because they've played KH2 last year, and they won't think a few extra features will justify that. Keep in mind this: only the hardcore fans know and care about FF, they are not the majority, and they're largely the only kind of people you see on these types of message boards.
They would have to do many, many things: get back the KH2 VA's for the new scenes, find new ones for the CoM Org. members, translate all the new text, they would have to adjust the region setting, they'd have to ship it here, distribute it, advertise it...it just wouldn't be worth it.
I think extensive marketing would have been the only way this WOULD have been profitable, but that would have still been risky, and SE isn't a risky company, so they didn't do it.
It's certainly far too late now: far too many people have imported the game, buzz has died down considerably, and the PS2 gets less and less attention by the day.

No Square Enix special edition version of a game has ever been released outside of the region it was originally intended for
Actually, that's not completely true. FF7 International was released in US: what most don't know was that it was the only version of the game that we got, meaning the US FF7 was actually the International. Different from KH2FM.
Also, FFX International was released in Europe, but it's the same as the above case. Still, I do understand your point, and it's quite valid.
