...I'm going to wait for the english translations before I jump to conclusions on that.

Might be better as I'm also somewhat baffled since

seeking a hero to train and regain his strength and powers has nothing to do with searching for the Key to return Hearts and actually start rescuing the suffering people. WTF Nomura/Sora, what's with the detours?

 

[rokudamia2]

Let me put it this way, if the disc is in fact the problem then there would be no patch in the world that could remedy the problem as it has to do with Blu-Ray as a format. BluRay is just slow, there's no way around it. Why it was ever chosen as the definitive format is beyond me, especially in the case of video games.

That said, several of the people experiencing crashes have come out and said they have the digital version, so that may not be as likely as it seemed a short while ago.

In that case I fully expect them to patch it.

That said I also enjoy telltale games, and those game are notorious for bugs and crashes.

if the translation Absent posted turns out to be accurate wonder who is the "hero" Sora needs to help regain his strength? Any theories?

Hercules. But it turns out this is a task beyond Hercules to accomplish hence the need to turn directly to Zeus and the Pantheon, resulting in a visit to Mount Olympus itself. That would tie it in nicely with a Disney world and make the whole "detour"-feeling and yet again postphoning rescue operations less jarring.

I'm kinda partial to the idea, despite how unlikely it is, that Sora and co. are going to go see Herc for said training. I mean, we've seen Sora in the KH2 outfit there. Herc is a hero. I'd like to see that world be better intertwined into the main plot, too. Now, do I really think that's what'll happen? Probably not, lol, but I can dream. Especially since, wouldn't that potentially make OC a starter world? There would definitely need to be a world in between.

I mean, who else could Sora find that is a hero? Unless KH3 opens with Sora and co. diving into the RoD to save Aqua and have her train him... but that also seems REALLY unlikely for the beginning.


Edit: Slightly ninja'd by Sephiroth.

Plot twist the actual hero they are going to see is Zack. Seriously how wild would that be?

 

[Muke]

People are saying there is a Secret Ending in 0.2. I don't want to know what it is about, just how to achieve it.
Anybody got answers?

All you have to do is complete 0.2's story.

That is, unless this Secret Ending they are referring to has to be unlocked, which in that case I have no clue. Judging by the Famitsu interview, however, the scene I have in mind fits the description quite well.

Y'know I would actually be up to that as Sora interacting with Zack may not only bring up another stirring of Ven's heart inside him (as those two did become rather close, Ven and Zack interacting is even in the special credits of 2.8) it may also serve to further the hanging "subplot" with Cloud, Tifa and Sephiroth.

Either Terra was recast or Jason Dohring is doing a diffrent take as Terra. I also like the direction Willa Holland took as Aqua. It's not as over the top as everyone else. If that makes any sense.

It's definitely Hercules,Sora wouldn't be flexing so much if it wasn't.Olympus coliseum first world,guess the trailers made it noticeable as much.

What was the chest Luxu was hogging around for again?

I wonder if Xehanort actually managed to find Ven. Seems like he already tought that Ven could be in Chamber of Waking. That first teaser of 0.2 shows he disappearing of Chamber of Waking too... Oh, Aqua, what have you done.

All these events happened before Sora and Riku's excursion to Castle Oblivion. It technically happens as the first Organization XIII is being formed. So in all this scene just reveals how Xemnas knew to start looking in Castle Oblivion for the hidden room (Chamber of Waking). Master Xehanort, being a Master, would of course know about the secret to The Land of Departure but thought they could figure out the secret and claim Ven as a vessel. It should add any extra shock or worries since this story is a "prequel". Also the theme for Hercules was always

For a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart-. After the encounter in DDD, Sora ultimately experienced a huge loss and that can take a lot out of person. Especially when he fell to darkness. That theme is perfectly suited for Sora to begin such a HUGE journey and task after a personal defeat.

Wow, I remember that trailer you are talking about.

I might (someone else) have to go over all the 0.2 promotinal material (Trailers/articles) after playing 2.8 to find connections.

Very good points. It's hard to say what kind of emotional effect that defeat had on Sora (he's acted like his usual self- a massive dork with no problems- ever since he woke up, but idk if that's how he really feels or if endgame DDD is still bothering him under the surface), but I'm willing to bet that the strain that it put on his heart was enough to set his abilities back to zero... again. Saving people and stuff is a top priority, but sending in a reset Sora would be suicide.

Someone english subbed the last scene of 0.2 (That one with Riku, Mickey and Sora). Here, on Vimeo.

so the suitcases were clothes for mickey and riku to survive the dark realm as they search for aqua. Love that donald and goofy ripped into sora for failing the exam, lol. Also kairi is getting help from Merlin, so I guess she is using the time compressed room. But most importantly, OLYMPUS confirmed as the first world. Sweet :)

I knew we didn't have to wait long for the English dub, but I didn't think it pop up this fast. (I should know better, really.) XD
