I did a thread a few months ago talking about how several website have set the American release date of Kindgom Hearts II as December 30, 2004, which would have been good news were it true. I think it got deleted with a server change or something. I had a feeling that last thread was not true, and now I have a similar finding that will be bad news if it is true.
At E3, Square people were talking about the three main PS2 games they are going to release, Final Fantasy XII, Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time (Director's Cut), and Kingdom Hearts II. They were talking about how they don't want to release all of these at once so that they don't compete with themselves for sales (well, they didn't actually say that but that's what they meant). So one of these games is going to be delayed. Or maybe they're going to space them all out. I revisited many gaming sites (ebgames.com, gamespot.com, ect ect), and found more than five references to Final Fantasy XII being released in America on February 14, 2005. As for SO:TtEoT, the same sites give reference to it's American release date as August 24, 2004 (which is coming up soon). And finally, the stab in the back. On these same sites, there are again more than five reference to KHII being released in America on September 14, 2005.
As before, I don't know if this information is true, I am just relaying information I read on the web. However, this time there are many more sites that give this release date than there were last time. So it looks like instead of possibly only waiting half a year for KHII we now possibly have to wait for a little more than a year. Should anyone have any information to the contrary, feel free to post it so I can read it and be happy. And as you know, release dates always move, so maybe maybe hopefully the release date gets juggled, maybe landing somewhere around June....one can always hope. But since they moved it so drastically from Dec 30, 2004 to Sep 14, 2005, we can more than likely expect the date to be moved again, probably somewhere between those two dates.
So it looks like Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories is going to have to entertain us for a while. And if they're going to make us wait this long, they better show us some more freakin' trailers.
