Why do I get the feeling that this was a joke topic?
Why do I get the feeling that this was a joke topic?
I've been wondering the same thing myself actually. But out of respect, I'll take it as seriously as I can.Originally Posted by PuPu
Wow, just... really...?
Either you are a very good troll, or you have some issues dude. But in either case this post (like every other) will go through one ear and out the other with not so much as a flinch, with you.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I personally think it was a serious topic but now hes just trying to keep the thread alive
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Actually, I take back what I said.
It all started out with SuperMillionaire just flat out saying he wanted more Disney Channel.
However, this topic should have ended at least 150+ posts ago, though he has dragged on this argument through unsupported facts ("25-50% of all Disney fans", etc) and changing what he means ("I never said that I wanted those shows to be worlds in the next KH game.I merely wanted their music") just because he refused to admit loss.
But here's one last thing I'll add, though I'm not sure if this has been said already in the 200+ posts. Square Enix will most likely never want to add Disney Channel. Square Enix has always cared about their Japanese fans more, which is why they probably had no problem with putting Utada Hikaru in KH, and which is why they are much more likely to add another Japanese artist's music in the game than and Disney Channel music. If most American KH fans don't care for Disney Channel, then Japanese KH fans will probably care for Disney Channel even less.
How do I know SE cares about their Japanese fans more? KH2FM.
tldr version is SM lost this argument a few hundred posts ago, Disney Channel is American and not Japanese, SE cares more about Japanese fans.
edit: yeah, what blackmage nuke said. SM lost a long time ago, he's just dragging it on refusing to admit loss.
edit#2: what I meant to say was Disney Channel is only (somewhat) popular in America, unlike classic Disney which is known worldwide. There's a good chance nobody in Japan or any of the other PAL countries that SE sells KH games to even knows or cares about Disney Channel.

They why even release it here in the first place if they care more about Japan?
Is that your final answer?
Because it also sells very well here.
But it's underground here compared to Japan. I don't see it at all in pop culture references...
Is that your final answer?
Why is that a problem? Why does it have to be pop culture? Why would you want it to be part of pop culture? Have you looked at what constitutes pop culture?
erm... read the headline of this.
Top News Stories for Kingdom Hearts II on PlayStation 2 - GameSpot
a million sales within one month in NA.
I wouldn't say KHII is part of pop culture, because it's ONE FREAKING VIDEO GAME. At the same time, it isn't underground, for reasons qwerty has provided. It has its own little nitch in the video game world, like most decent games.
Video games in general are underground in American pop culture. It's not on the same level as movies and music.
Is that your final answer?
yeah... no. I would like to see a source for that statement, because I have to disagree with you on that.
I'm sorry, everyone... it's just that, I don't see advertisements for video games as frequently or as aggressively campaigned for as much as movies and music...
Is that your final answer?
We've gone into this in previous threads with you. Video games are no longer underground in American pop culture. I don't care to go look up the numbers myself, but video game launch dates have been breaking the sales records of movies and music for a few years now (look up the sales for Halo 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for evidence). Video gaming has become so absolutely pervasive throughout our culture that it's ridiculous that you might even suggest otherwise.
Also, I think you need to watch less TV if you think only advertisements and marketing campaigns are indicative of something's popularity in a given culture. That aside, there's a bloody television channel devoted to video games. You're looking in the wrong places (like the Disney Channel).
