Kingdom Hearts - Image 1


The latest episode of the 1Up podcast has dropped the bomb on the rumor mill about two Square Enix franchises. Firstly, we could possibly expect more news and announcements about the fabled Kingdom Hearts prequels coming out. They've speculated about the rumor before, saying that the KH prequels would be acting like what Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core are for the FFVII universe. On a related note, Crisis Core gets a bit of mention in itself - and a hint of what to expect in the FFVII franchise's future.

Shane, editor of EGM, had said something rather specific toward the last fifth of the podcast. It took a while to catch it, as it is very brief. Especially since the whole podcast runs for almost two hours, trying to catch that 5-second mention of KH is pretty tough. Right after talking about the FFVII-remake rumors sparked by the Crisis Core ending cinematic, they went off at a tangent, somehow squeezing in something about the Kingdom Hearts prequel (1:25:50 mark):

The other big announcement that you should look forward to is Kingdom Hearts Zero... for PSP... among some other Kingdom Hearts Zero games for other platforms...


They exchanged a couple of "Hmm..."s and "Hrrrmmm..."s by the time Shane ends his KH stint, but that's pretty much it. The way the whole thing sounds, it's as if it's only a matter of time before it gets confirmed.

Meanwhile, for those keeping tabs on the FFVII-remake rumors, Shane mentions that, during the Square Enix party, they found out that Crisis Core is not the last game in the FFVII universe. So what's the next FF7 game? Could it be the remake of the original itself? Or something else entirely? Oh no, wait. Don't tell me. It's Kingdom Hearts: Crisis Core! Ha! We jest.

It's up to you how you want to read into this, but for now, we'll neatly pile all of these loose strands on top of the Rumor bin. You may click the Read link below to check out 1Up's podcast.

» I dont care about you not caring of my uninterest of FF

I hate final fantasy, its my opinion. Just because I'm not obsessed with some crappy anime-like game with virtual creatures doesn't make me a "doofus". As for your post being "better" than mine, I think you should seriously reconsider what qualifies as "better".

» FFVII Release Date

I looked on the 1UP site, and it says that the release date for FFVII on PS3 is 11/2008. I don't believe it, but a little interesting

Its a rumor. 1UP isn't reliable for info about stuff like FF7 remake.



Anyway This is pretty awesome IDK if they are hints to a remake but something to to hope for. And that new Spin-off KH game looks pretty sweet, i hope there us ore info about it soon.



@ youresam

Get it through your thick head, FF7 is a legend whether you like it or not doesn't matter. If you don't like it than leave QJ since most are fans of the game.

» ok...

@ youresam:



I can accept that you don't like Final Fantasy. It's your opinion, and I don't care if you like it or not.

BUT, what I can't accept is that you called FF a "crappy anime-like game with virtual creatures". That just shows that you actually never played or seriously dealt with the game.

You shouldn't judge a huge gaming universe just because of the look. Too bad that QJ hadn't banned all rubbish from commmenting, when they blocked anonymous commenting. Your first comment also shows that...

-.-



@ Binary: a game isn't bad just because its old. Graphics isn't all. Try to play some classics(i.e. SNES,NES,SEGA...) you will have more fun than you might thought.

» hmmm....

interesting indeed... but i agree with you. it is rather hard to believe. a remake? to be released next year already? kind of hard to pull off. but well, who knows...
