Hellos, this is AyameHikari once again with some news.
There’s some news I just grabbed recently from a friend, please bear with me and try not to spam me with comments on how late I am [plz k thx] I know I'm not the best blogger and whenever I do manage to catch something I'm a little bit late. My apologies~ TRY TO LIVE THROUGH IT~!
Not sure if everyone knew this, but apparently there’s been a few issues in Square Enix, such as the loss of plenty money and of course losing a CEO, they announced not too long ago that they would now be focusing on ‘social’ games. I wasn’t sure what ‘social games’ meant at first (I thought this meant that SE would be working on Dating Simulators and what not), but supposedly this means they’ll be joining the many FaceBook games and creating those sorts of little games… point and click wonders.
I can understand them needing to find ways to gather more money, but I also feel a little bit sad at the thought of possibly losing Square Enix as a whole. I've been a fan of their games for way too long for them to suddenly fall under and possibly in more debt than my own college loans... [lol yay college humor]. I hope they get out of the hole soon.
There’s also a bit of anger, while I’m sure plenty of you [perhaps even all of you] are really fond of all the Kingdom Hearts games that have been released as of late… but there are others [including myself, or maybe it is just me] that simply wanted KH3 to come out. After KH2, and then suddenly these games released about the prequels of the story or in between chapters (365/2, ReCoded, Birth By Sleep, Dream Drop Distance...), I was just so upset… instead of spending time [and of course money, since this is an issue] on these types of games… why couldn’t they just get to the game everyone was prepared and ready for?
--Easy money… Kingdom hearts has so many fans willing to go through so many lengths to order, pre-order and buy games, easy money right there. People going out of their way to order it straight from Japan! But maybe I’m the only fan who’s slowly fell out of the fandom and the game due to the constant waiting for the main story to continue… Am I a jerk for thinking that these prequels are a waste of time? Probably, but hey that's my own opinion. People being excited about the story continuing from the ending of Kingdom Hearts II, and yet we were given prequel after prequel after prequel after ALTERNATE STORY after Prequel...
Though it has also been claimed that the money loss was due to environmental change and the focus of console and arcade games… which, to me, makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe someone can elaborate what they mean by that?
So, for the next year, or two, maybe even three, Square Enix will focus on social games… I guess that’s that. Nothing else I can think of saying here. Will they continue the Kingdom Hearts series? Did they give it a dead end? IS THIS IT FOR OUR HEROES?!
I’m sure they’ll find a way to complete it somehow. I know they can do that much. I hope that their focus on Social games will help them out in the end. Funny thing is, Final Fantasy was named just that for a reason, it wasn't a plan on it continuing on for this long... it was meant to be the end, the 'final fantasy', so as much as I love that series too, I would understand and not mind if they stopped creating Final Fantasy games in order to save a bit of money as well.
I’m sorry that this appeared as more of a rant than a blog. I would love everyone’s input though, as well as your thoughts and feelings on how Kingdom hearts and Square Enix will be effected by everything happening as of right now.
Please feel free to comment with your thoughts and feelings on the matter. Stay true, keybladers!

Thoughts on Kingdom Hearts III Pt 1
SPOILER ALERT: it has been well over a month since the release of the game and I believe it is time to discuss many things about this game. Please be wary if you haven't played yet this and the next Blog update, thank you
It feels weird to even be typing this in a time after the game has released and been beaten. For so long I thought this day wouldn't come. And now that it's come and gone its almost unbelievable. But now is the time we can discuss things.
The first part of this blog will discuss the worlds on KH3 as it's something I've been eager to talk about. The next part will discuss my thoughts and feelings on the main story and main
Confirmed Disney Worlds of Kingdom Hearts III
And so, after so very long it has been released in Japan. Our beloved Kingdom Hearts III. For so very long we have waited on this game to come to us and at last it is here. So many thoughts I have as I await its release in the West on Tuesday. But one thing I did want to tae the time to discuss was the Disney worlds that have been confirmed to be in the game. My thoughts on it and the hopes and dreams I have for them. I obviously have no spoilers to reveal as this has all long been known and shown in the official trailers. I merely only wish to talk about possibilities and exciting what ifs. We've all been on pins and needles as the game is s
Why Master Aqua is Awesome!
“I know what's at stake. I'm not afraid. I will face the long darkness. The next time someone wanders into the realm of darkness, I'll be here. A light to cut through all the shadows.”
With Kingdom Hearts III just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about the series, one I’ve been following since its debut in 2002. My life has changed significantly since then: I’ve graduated elementary, middle, and high school, had relationships come and go, and grown exponentially. A lot of life events have occurred between the various spin-offs and HD collections, and I can’t say I’m the same person that embarke
After 13 years, It's Almost here
It almost doesn't feel real, as if we've been waiting for an eternity. But in little more than a month, the game we have all been waiting for, will finally be within reach. We've waited and waited for this game, for the next entry in the mainline series. We met and made new friends like Terra, Aqua and Ventus, grew closer to Axel and Roxas and someone who I just can't seem to remember, and watched as our 3 beloved island friends Sora, Kairi, and Riku grew stronger and wiser from the 3 young teens eager to leave their island.
In the past few months as Square Enix has teased us with new trailers for me to lose my absolute shit over, more confi

I agree and don't agree on the KH3. I think of it as them clearing up some pieces of the story that drove us nuts before.
