It's my computer. The only computer I can download the files on is my Windows which there is only one in the house. All the rest are macs but I can't download the files on them plus my RAR extracter is on my Windows. The computer is really slow though. The extracting takes 10 seconds... the actual downloading takes an hour. Could it be the site? I'm currently using NDS-Roms but while downloading Tales of Tempest, my computer keeps disconnecting which causes the downloading to stop then the file is corrupted and I have to download again...>_> I've spent two hours so far just restarting the download...

EDIT: I just deleted all the unneeded files on my computer and it seems to help a little with the time. So it is my computer.

Thankfully, I stopped trying to download from NDS-Roms and tried out Romulation which let me download in only 30 minutes! Still, where do you get yours from? I want to see what 2 minutes on your computer would be on mine.

What computer do you have? It might be your computer that is letting it be slow, because I get mine from Romulation, and they only take 2 mintues at most. So it is most likely your computer then, unless, well I can't think of any other reason why it would be so slow.

Also, forgot to reply to wifi comment, but yes, they do have chat like pictochat, but they also said that it has voice chat through the mic, Pictochat is there, because you can draw pics on it and send them to your friend. However, chat through the mic wouldn't make sense, so it is safe to assume that there should be online connectivity.

The computer is a Dell. Don't know the type or anything, but we've had it for a couple years. 9 days left!

Tales of Tempest is awesome though while I wait. It has awesome graphics. The battle system is just as awesome as ToS with the only difference being no free run but a 3-rowed system instead.

Also, there are new scans showing Xemnas! After seeing some pictures of his gameplay, I gotta say it looks awesome. They also did an awesome job on the different types of aerial blades through the link panel system.

So, my main 3 will be (In order): Marluxia, Xemnas, Xaldin.

Xemnas may bump up to first still if his limit is awesome.

Well, I'll have to see about Xemnas, because if he is too strong, I think that will be unfair too the others. I'm not saying you can't play him, but if he is broken, I'd prefer you don't, unless it will be a race to who can get Xemnas first. As for Marluxia, he looks promising with no blind spots. Xaldin is slow, but he has good accuracy with his giant range of attack. I still can't decide my top 3 that I'm trying out first (just because I claim them, doesn't mean I'm definitely not chossing anyone else), the only one I'm pretty sure on is Larxene, and possibly Zexion. My last one that I'd like to main looks like Luxord or Vexen.

Well, keep in mind that it doesn't really depend on the character since they are balanced pretty well with only minor cases of better characters (still not like let's say a Magikarp vs an Arceus, lol). The real skill comes from the player. Plus it really isn't an all out battle like SSBB. Sure, you can steal points, but a lot of it is teamwork to beat the enemies.

KHUltimania just put up a lot of new videos from Creator's Voice, and they include what looks like the opening video, and it looks really nice, it only shows the 1st 3,but it showcases the Organization members. Also, in one video they show Xemans' gameplay, he levitates just above the ground, and he seems to be moderately powerful, but his moves are slow, which made him get last place in the 4-player match, in which Xaldin won.

On the other hand, I don't know how many world there will be, but this is looking dissapointing at the number from what it shown. So far the only confirmed worlds are:

Twilight Town
Wonderland
World That Never Was
Olympus Collisseum
Neverland
Agrabah
Beast's Castle
Halloweentown

That is only 9 worlds, which is really bad, but I'm starting to think that there may not be any others, because they haven't shown anything else. This really dissapoints me, because I was hoping for more, but oh well.

Lastly, there was one video which showcases some of the stats of the characters, since he skipped by some really fast, I couldn't tell what there actual full stats were, but I did get this much:

Larxene- Weak in almost everything, except there were too stats in which she excelled to the highest (Speed, ???)
Axel- Pretty well, balanced, not the best in anything though
Demyx- OK, but he is high in some stats, but low in others
Marluxia- Pretty high in some stats (Attack), medium in others (defense), extremely low in Larxene's main points (Speed, ???)

So right now, I'm pretty sure Larxene and Marluxia would be a great match, because they balance each others weakpoints, except both their defenses I think are just OK.

You're forgetting Destiny Islands. Though we haven't seen actual gameplay there, we definitely know there will be scenes there, so it counts. I'm gonna watch those videos now then post my responses.

Well, it counts, but I was talking in means of playable worlds. But I get your point, Card_Breaker, out of curiousity, are you going to play through the whole game in the Japanese version? I'm not as you know, but the day it comes out, if your not rushing through the storyline, I'd like to play a mission or too with you if we can at that point. My assumption is that in order to unlock the Organization members, you probably have to work with them, which would mean, you probably work with Xemnas last, which means he is unlocked last, I know that Axel is unlocked first according to many demo players, and they also say you work with him first, so that could be the way to unlocking them. As for Donald and Goofy, I would assume you unlock them after beating the storyline or after beating a certain part of the game.

I'm going to slowly go through it. Not really rushing, but still playing.

As for the Creator's Voice thing, Xemnas does seem pretty slow. I'm assuming that the place where Roxas is floating and fighting a Wyvern-like enemy is Neverland over the ocean? Because the floor is way below and it's blue. Also cool how they implemented the Cavern of Remembrance music into it.

Sure, we can play a mission together assuming it has Wi-fi. Also, I'm not going to be able to play online if it does have the features for the whole weekend anyway because I'll be in Indiana with my Mac laptop, not anything compatible with the Wi-fi connector... I've figured out how to download roms (still long time: 7 minutes) on my Mac, but I can't use my Wi-fi connector on it. However, we can play during the week, or if I'm busy during the week, the next weekend.

Hey, even 7minutes isn't too bad, it is much less than 30 minutes. I'll probably play through a couple worlds, but not the whole game. I thought that the cavern music was fitting, it does sound like waiting music, but a more intense waiting song. I do like how Xemnas gets around, he is too classy for that walking thing, no HE FLOATS!

I guess the whole floating thing goes with his sorcerer nobodies and how they float.

Apparently the game has already been leaked.

Looks pretty real and it has no Wifi symbol...

Common sense would have told you no Wifi.

Vice, actually, there were mentions of wifi by Square Enix and how they really hoped to have it, but they never confirmed it nor did they say no to it, so common sense would have gotten you nowhere whatsoever.

As for the game, they do want wifi, but then again, if you look at Nintendo's wifi server, the wifi would probably be horrible anyways, the game will still be good though I guess, sadly no wifi, but that just hurts the game, because for any non-Kingdom Hearts fan that just plays the game to play it like any other game, the replay value just decreased greatly.

Alot of people are saying those are fake. Due to the lack of Videos (When a new game comes out People Flood youtube with there Game play) and the blurred out Barcode on the back cover. Also it really inst to hard to shop a back cover and print them out and place them within a DS game case.

Also No rom yet is another sign.

Vice said:

As I said, apparently it was leaked.

However, people could keep it to themselves. I mean if only like one store released the game early then there wouldn't be as many people who would post a video than if all of Japan leaked it. Just noticed the barcode, so I got nothing. And the rom, maybe it is because the same reason as the videos. Also, anything is possible, so it may really have been leaked, but these reasons aren't the reasons why.

As Vice already knows, there is a 6 page article on KH 358/2 Days in Nintendo Power. Since I'm a subscriber, I should get mine soon. When I do, I'll post clear scans of the article. It says that there is Traverse Town and Pinnochio's world, but that seems a bit wrong especially since it was never announced in Japan. But I'll scan it anyways. It could very well be wrong info.

Iv only ready seen them.

Theres nothing of relivance within the NP issues. Just things we already know by a writer that knows next to nothing about the game. Im sure he made a mistake when he seen Pinnoc in Traverse town and Assummed its his own world. Cover of issue is the same as the Box Art. Though I might pick up the issue because the cover looks awesome.

Okay, so after seeing Saix's gameplay, he is awesome! He has speed and power, my personal favorite stats. I'm sure he is probably lacking in magic and defense though, but rarely do I use magic and defenses will have to suffer for a good attack I guess. But now my order is: Saix, Marluxia, Xaldin.

In case you're wondering, the order is for local multiplayer with my friends since we don't have online multiplayer.

Well, since that is most likely fake, there is still a very, small, tiny, petite chance that wifi will be in the game. I've seen the 6-page spread already too, and since there are no pics of Pinnochio and Traverse Town, I wouldn't definitely say there will be them, but then again, there seems to be a lack of worlds, so if they happened to be there, I wouldn't be shocked. Lastly, another reason behind the leaked images being faked, is the overall back of the game. If you go look at any other Kingdom Hearts backing, the style is extremely different, with a smooth touch, that doesn't say too much about the game. This backing has a different style, and upon furthur inspection, not one of those images have not been shown yet.

I have too agree, Saix does look pretty good, so there seems to be something he is lacking in. His speed is mediocre, almost a little slower than Roxas. He has quite a range, and fair strength for that range, but my main concern with him, is that at some points he may go too far. I noticed his limit break's range is pretty short, like Lexaus. As for his other moves, they prove very useful in normal Heartless combat, but against other members of the Organization, who don't fly far, he will have to resort to air to fight them. The last problem I might point out, is that his range is fairly long, but only in one direction, if someone were to stand a little the right of him, he would be helpless to their hit. He does look interesting though.

There are close up shots of Donald and Goofy, they both have short range, and honestly, they don't look that good. Goofy may have good defense, but I'm betting that that is all he has, along with Donald and magic.

Less than 2 Days left in Japan!!! Then I'll have to be careful of spoilers...

Opening for Days has been uploaded, Low Qulity and some Same play in Twilight town with Marluxia.

More "leaked" pics were released, and this time, they include what is supposedly the main menu, the package again, the information booklet, and what the pic is on the DS main screen.

These pics make it very convincing, except that the pics of the game are all blurry. They also fail to show anything further than the main screen of the game which is weird.

Also, Xemans doesn't look so bad anymore. I mgiht claim him, so my claim line-up for now is:

1) Larxene (<3 speed )
2) Zexion/Xigbar (far range isn't bad)
3) Vexen/Xemnas (look fairly good in defense and attack)
