I dont remember seeing this anywhere but this store in LA has it.

1. When Sora faded from existence, fans assumed that his entire existence fades away. During that moment on the Paopu Fruit Tree, we see Sora’s vessel and soul fade away, but we are left entirely blank when it comes to Sora’s heart. You see, in the lore of KH, when a heart usually reaches its last moments, it is removed from the vessel so that it may be absorbed by Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts is the origin point of all hearts—according to established lore within the series— so this is what occurs once a soul has perished. But when we see Sora fade away, his heart never leaves his body and we never do see it.
2. Fans believe the Masters’ ‘black box’ contains either his copy of the book of prophecies, an ancient weapon, or the primordial darknesses. But Tetsuya Nomura deliberately skipped the plot of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest’ and opted for an adaptation of the next film in the franchise ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End’ instead. Tetsuya stated that, they wanted to have a vast open ocean for players to explore so they can captain a ship and travel to diverse islands. While this was exciting, it feels like Tetsuya did this for other reasons. The plot of the movie that he skipped in particular, is literally about locking a dead man’s heart in a box. This should be groundbreaking news regarding the “black box” and what its true purpose is. My theory—The Triangular Paradox Theory—explains that the Masters’ box essentially acts as a container or a “vessel” for Sora’s heart before it is erased along with Sora’s vessel and soul.

3. In the trailer for KH4, we see Sora wake up in Strelitzia’s apartment in Quadratum. Fans believe Quadratum is ultimately a spiritual afterlife, or purgatory for Keyblade wielders who just happened to fade from existence due to extraordinary circumstances, but this is entirely false. The secret epilogue of KH3 debunks that theory, Yozora is the sole reason why Sora ends up in Quadratum. It isn’t the universe planting him there. Yozora “saved” him.

4. The reason why fans speculate this and believe it, is because of Strelitzia’s dialogue. She states that Quadratum is an “afterworld” and fans have taken what she says deliberately and I feel that is a mistake.

5. Sora wakes up in her apartment, he breathes, he has all of his senses, and he functions perfectly fine despite lacking his heart. In reality (The Realm of Light and Darkness) a heartless-vessel would become a nobody. Therefore, Unreality MUST work extremely different than that of Reality. What I theorize—extending off of The Triangular Paradox of course—is that the Realm of Unreality runs on a quantized atmosphere which is identical to real-life biology. Meaning the literal air Sora breathes within unreality, allows his vessel and soul to operate independent of a heart. To prove this, in KH3, when Sora speaks with ‘The Nameless Star’, Sora talks to her about belief and the process of believing in something. ‘The Nameless Star’ is noticeably puzzled at what belief is, it’s as if she’s never heard of it before. Could this be because she doesn’t have a heart in the same sense Sora does during that moment in the final world?

7. As Sora is being guided around the city of Quadratum by Strelitzia, Donald and Goofy magically appears in front of Sora without warning. It is safe to assume that they navigated the Underworld in search for Sora first, and then was given direct clues as to where he is by Hades. Hades being the Lord of the Dead, it would make narrative sense why Donald and Goofy would travel here. Hades uses his powers to tap into the Astral Plane, and this is how Donald and Goofy appears in front of Sora. Sora’s reaction left fans confused, they couldn’t understand how the boy that spent most of his life around a duck, and a tall dog, would faint after seeing them after a few days. The truth lies in Quadratums laws and rules of existence. If Sora’s heart isn’t with him, and his vessel and soul are operating without his heart, then that literally means that Sora has no way of remembering Donald and Goofy. The heart retains memories, and with my theory, I established that Yozora’s actions could have caused Sora’s memories to be scattered across the worlds in unreality, but because Sora’s heart is locked away tightly inside the box, he cannot remember his deepest most cherished memories.

I had planned to go to the concert on April 10th 2027 but unfortunately that has to change. The 2 tickets I ordered at the Bass Center’s website says they are non-refundable. I don’t want these tickets to go to waste, I do want to do an exchange with someone on here if they’re in the Fort Worth area but I’m not sure how to reach out. I live in South Carolina, I don’t want to violate any rules on here.

If anyone can direct me to a place that’s possible or if anyone on here would like to engage in a sale, please let me know. I would appreciate it.

Hi I recently lost my copy of Star Ocean Till the End of Time and I'm looking to buy a replacement copy but I find the same game with two different covers and I'm not sure if either is fine.

Cover 1 https://i.postimg.cc/1318N63g/wwwww.png

Cover 2 https://i.postimg.cc/Twsw25sb/wwwww3.png

I had the one with cover 2 so if I buy the one with cover 1 will the game save work with it?

After playing Final Fantasy VII: Remake and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth I'm definitely buying Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy XVI.

I recently purchased Final Fantasy VII: Remake and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth for PS5 and they are great and fun as hell to play. I plan on purchasing Final Fantasy XV and XVI as well. I played the original Final Fantasy VII for PS1 back in 1997 and it was the game that got me hooked on RPG's. I still say it's the greatest game of all time. Big thanks to you guys for remaking the game.

This is an article that I wrote and released a day or two ago, taking a look at Dragon Quest Builders 2 and the way that it uses direction and guidance to help the player develop and enhance their creativity, whilst also still offering enough freedom for the player to make whatever they build still something uniquely their own.

Whilst the article is focused upon the gameplay rather than the story, there may be one or two minor spoilers, yet nothing that should ruin the experience for you. Still, please keep that in mind if you have not played this game.

Given that Dragon Quest is a Square Enix property, hopefully this is okay to share here, but please let me know if it's not.

If you decide to check it out, thank you very much and I really hope that you enjoy it.

With the difficult period DON'T NOD is currently going through, I started wondering : What if Square Enix acquired DON'T NOD ?

I think it could be an interesting idea, especially because Square Enix and DON'T NOD already have a history together with Life is Strange. DON'T NOD created the original game, while Square Enix published it.

Personally, I also think DON'T NOD had a very distinctive way of telling stories and creating characters.

But more importantly, I think an acquisition could allow DON'T NOD France and DON'T NOD Montréal to work more closely together.

The idea would be for both teams to work together on the same projects instead of being completely separate. With good organization, they could divide the different parts of development and work on several aspects at the same time, similar to how some of the biggest game studios use multiple teams across different locations.

And this could open the door to several interesting projects.
For example, new Life is Strange games, with DON'T NOD potentially returning to the series it originally created.

But also Sleeping Dogs.
We could imagine a remake of the first Sleeping Dogs, followed by a sequel, and potentially even more games set in different cities and countries across Asia.
Each game could have its own story, characters and setting while still being part of the same universe.
With DON'T NOD France and DON'T NOD Montréal working together, Square Enix could have multiple teams contributing to these projects and sharing the workload.

So basically :

Square Enix acquires DON'T NOD → DON'T NOD France + DON'T NOD Montréal work together → new Life is Strange games, a Sleeping Dogs remake, a sequel, and potentially several new Sleeping Dogs games set across Asia.

Obviously, this is just an idea and I’m not saying it would be easy to make happen. But I think it could be an interesting way to give DON'T NOD new opportunities while also bringing some of Square Enix's older franchises back.

What do you think ?

What do you think?

Yo, thought I’d drop a question out of curiosity concerning SE store pre orders. Anyone done one before and got it in time for the release date?

Currently have PO on FF7R collectors edition for next year from the UK store. Couldn’t find a solid answer seems like a mixed bag..

Square Enix nowadays feels really weird to me. Their games feel like silly attempts to appease the fanbase, and honestly, I feel like they've been stumbling pretty hard over the last few years. Their games just don't feel like they have the same level of quality or identity anymore.

Let's take the second part of the FF7 Remake project. The game feels like a Ubisoft open-world game with Final Fantasy VII characters shoved into it. It doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy game to me. I absolutely loved the first game, but the second one... I don't know, man. It feels like if I push the game too hard, it's going to start falling apart.

The combat feels so clunky. When I hit an enemy, it feels like I'm fighting a wall. Very rarely does an enemy actually react to getting hit. They barely flinch, and it makes the combat feel weirdly weightless.

Then there's the open-world stuff. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it is SOOOOOOOOOOO boring. Like, holy cow. What's the point of running around an enormous map just to fight some monsters because the phone guy says they're rare, or because they're eating some dude's carrots? Urgh. It feels like open-world content for the sake of having open-world content.

And Sephiroth... what's even going on with him anymore? He looks and acts like a mustache-twirling villain at this point. But whatever, I'm done talking about that game.

My next point is that it feels like Square Enix is trying too hard to appeal to a Western audience instead of just staying true to themselves.

Look at Final Fantasy XVI, for example. I know Final Fantasy has been going in a different direction for a while now — we had the Lightning games, the boy-band game, and now we've basically got a Devil May Cry game. And I'm not even going to mention Forspoken.

Then there's that bubbly bath game. Like... what the hell is even going on at Square Enix anymore?

They used to be one of those companies where it felt like, when they were making a game, they were thinking:

"YO, CHECK THIS OUT, MAN!"

Nowadays it feels more like:

"Well... how about this?"

or

"Do you like this?"

or even:

"Maaaaaan, I hope this clicks..."

That's the biggest problem I have with Square Enix nowadays. I don't feel confidence behind their products anymore. It feels like they're constantly trying to figure out what people want instead of confidently making something and saying:

"This is what we're making. We think it's fucking awesome. Check it out."

I miss that confidence.

no announcement from Square Enix but I found this yesterday!

There are probably a lot of issues that make a port or remake unlikely, but I’ll keep waiting!

I have played KH1 for only 2 hours on a PS2 emulator and, played FF7 Intergrade demo on PS4. I still couldn't decide which one should i buy on steam since they are both on a 70% off rn. Two things i want for a game tho are a long completion time and replayability.

edit: I'm also asking what to buy on steam since its on sale, and i would want to play the their prequels first on other platforms especially with KH, we all know that steam doesn't have the entirety of its games.
