Komory = Bat in japanese.

Japan has half exotic names, so we do to. At least they didn't translate em, or we'd be stuck with 'Bat Bat' and stuff.

Yes, I know I know "Komori" is bat in Japanese, I know Japanese Its just the other two we know so far, they changed to at least kind of make sense in English, but Komory doesn't seem to mean/referencing anything is all I mean it's not a huge deal, I am glad his name is not "Bat Bat"

 

[kupo1121]

Not a fan of Pricklemane...I keep saying "Pickle" instead, which I kind of like better lol. However, the DE names are the least of my worries, I honestly don't care what they name any of them, names were never my interest.

Also, I doubt it, but can PAL 3DSs play NA 3DS games or vice versa or are they different territory games? The reason I ask is because these 2 games are pretty much going to be identical, so I don't see a reason to make 2 different territories, but if each respective 3DS is region-locked, then I understand.

"Komory" is not "Bat" in Japanese. "Koumori" (こうもり) is bat. This name is kinda stupid in Japanese and just got worse in English rofl. If they weren't going to translate to "Bat-Bat" or be creative with it, they could have just translated in romaji, not some Americanized BS.

Like what is a "Necho"? I know it says "Neko" but really? I read it as "Nacho" at first!

Pricklemane is the best. I have no complaints. It is creative.

I... don't think so.We have gotten Europe PS3 games before(my Kingdom Hearts, 3 Final Fantasy's have been rated by the PEGI thing instead of the Australian ratings board) but 3DS' are region locked, and this is region 4.

WHYYYY?!?!?! Have we not been faithful enough SENA? At least give it to us the same week. Just dont get it, most anticipated game for the 3DS and (sorry Europe) but the country that needs the most work to get it released with fifty (over-exaggeration) different languages gets it first. Sad Mickey Mouse is sad

This gets me so excited for an English trailer--must be patient!!!

Oh lordy, you should have seen everyone after we first heard Aqua's battle grunts xD

 

[Key Wielder]

Lol, I did--I've been hanging around since the Jump Festa 2010 trailer, so I remember that AND the "omg Terra-Batman, just listen to Howl and it's so obvious" hype. ;D *has sudden urge to watch Howl's Moving Castle* These grunts have a little more substance to them than most of her's did, thankfully, so waiting shouldn't be so brutal. That and now that we know the European release date will be sooner than the NA one, we should be getting an English trailer sooner than originally thought! Can't beat that.

 

[KevVentus]

Do we know for sure these are the official names? What if they were just nicknames for the video?

I doubt they would use nicknames for the official videos, unless it's a video demonstrating that you can nickname them.

Edit: Just watched the trailer and Kupoing awesome! That was beautiful! Top notch grunts (did I really just say that) Cant wait for the first full trailer!

I agree. I mean, come on, Disney's an American company. Where's the love?

 

[KevVentus]

Hmmm they probably are the real names, but they've had unorthodox footage before when they showed various keyblades in the official trailers

Pricklemane just seems too clever to me : P

And I don't see why people in NA are complaining. It's only 11 days, and Europe has gotten the short end of the stick plenty of times before.

Pricklemane is what I expect from SE's translators. Komory Bat is not. xD

Not all of NA people are complaining. Just the ones who subconsciously believe NA is more privileged than PAL. :|

I think everyone just wants the game already, and the (relative) silence on SENA's part is killing us.

Remember Yoko Shimatura? Good times.

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

Oh, those translators. 8D Also Blaig is up there on my list of best SE translations.

Oh gosh, I remember that one

We just have to be patient! I mean, I didn't expect to see english footage this early : D

The game will be here before we know it!

And yes, Blaig! Ahhh, the confusion

Really? I've been expecting an English trailer for approximately a month now, so maybe my hopes are too optimistic. I suspect part of the reason is that every release period, I instantly forget/deny the trend of prior marketing strategies to the extent that I can hope for the impossible even in conflict with direct evidence as to its unlikelihood. <.<;

 

[Gray Aria]

I guess they figure, "Who needs a marketing strategy when we have Jeff Bridges?"

 

[Chaser]

Really? I've been expecting an English trailer for approximately a month now,

I've been expecting one since October last year. Honestly, I remember posting back then saying "English trailer in a week. I can feel it in my loins."

 

[alexis.anagram]

I guess they figure, "Who needs a marketing strategy when we have Jeff Bridges?"

Actually, this is a pretty safe assumption. They should just have Jeff Bridges mention KH in an interview. Instant hit.

I was all about to be like, oh good, I'm not crazy...
But then I was like, oh, it's Chaser.

<3

No, but seriously, I was hoping the announcement of a release date would coincide with a website update and the premiere of a localized trailer with music that's way too loud. No luck. :<

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

GameStop, leak a 10 sec clip of the trailer ;~; Young Xehanort this time. Have to continue the trend of Xehanort.

Is that whats on that video that loads on the GameStop page but then vanishes?

Spoiler Show

Cause there is meant to be a video there, but not sure if it's meant to play anything, nor can I tell if you are joking, Master :3.
