While I sort of agree with this, I think the main reason it died is because things got a bit complicated with it over time. Now there were clues and I don't even know what else. So it was milked to death. The DN game is something that cannot be played all the time or you just get bored (like with many other games which require a degree of effort) So putting nostalgia aside, we should appreciate that ICSP brought this game to us in the first place. And let the horse rest for a while, as opposed to beating it to the point of death and then beating it some more.
I've been looking around to see if there's any confirmation of these editions coming to the US, but if I'm not mistaken, there's still no news on it. Also, as I've said before, they seem to be going completely in the monster route. And here I thought it was supposed to be an improvement over XIII? If they smear guest characters in your face, and don't let you use them in your party or force you to use monsters...Oh god please no. They better have a good explanation as to why they'd do something so cheap.
No worries~ (MAJOR SPOILERS) Spoiler
Last year it was based on riddles from the entire series.
_Moved But I saw this at the news, and it just...I couldn't finish watching it. I really hope that none of us passes by as if nothing. I hope I wouldn't, because this is just too sad.
Yes, there will be. You should expect it in December, though.
Ay, Mami! Say cheese?
No cheese for you.
Castle Oblivion is a Christmas event where if you open all the floors of the castle oblivion section (which only opens on the date of the event) you get a prize, along with the Castle Survivor pin. Last year it was riddles on the Kingdom Hearts Series and you'd get some PC and PSP themes.
I agree. What I said before was a joke, you see. ; ~ ; why are people so mean?
Thus, getting a PS3 is the correct choi-*shot*
[video=youtube;H47ow4_Cmk0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H47ow4_Cmk0[/video] But jokes aside, your third one? That's terrible. Well, you can send it to Microsoft. But that takes a bit. It might just be a better idea to...get a PS3? I mean, it really depends on what kind of games you play. And if you do decide to get a 4th one, maybe it won't get the rings?
I...don't think I'm following this correctly. Here you'd be doing something similar to the Hamburger guy, right? Giving people the choice to pay or not with no repercussions whatsoever, to be specific. I would be inclined to think this would work, but what if the number of people that pay is borderline enough to keep things the way they are? If anything big companies need a specific sum of money to function and keep producing at a certain quality, so I'm not sure how effective your suggested method would be on something as large as say, Square Enix or any other big video game company. We could be optimistic and take the example of the Hamburger stand, it worked for him. Well an artist needs tools, and the instruments of the trade can be costly. On smaller things, there's the possibility of using your own money and still not having to demand any large sum of money. But when we're talking about something like the newest game on the most recent console...well, we're talking millions of dollars, not just thousands. And while I can see a small indie developer taking a more artistic approach with smaller and less costly tools and thus not having to charge for their creations, or at least not as much, a big company normally does have development costs which can go pretty high. Let's not forget that the artist needs a place to be and live, so we pay to have them do that and devote all their time into the products we hope they'll deliver.
I think you'll fit right in with all those talents~ It's nice to see people joining around, have a nice stay....hmm, why don't you stay forever like the rest of us? >:3 Haha, KHV is like a black hole once in...you can never come out. But welcome, hope to see you around the forums!
You need to pay the team involved. There's the money you invest beforehand to make the whole thing and to run with all costs. So when I mentioned "losing" money, it's because a product will not generate enough for you to keep producing. Or more conservatively, investing or spending on. If your production costs are high and you need the income to break-even, and that is not met, then you are losing money. Like...umm. If Kingdom hearts I hadn't sold enough copies, they wouldn't have considered continuing it for being a risky venture (on normal cases).
Wat, you weren't on MSN when I logged back in D;
Hmm...people, please calm down. Discussion does not need to be accompanied by attacks to the person with the differing view. If you feel that you cannot contain yourself, then just step down and take some time before replying. Moreover, respect all knowledge, if you feel that you are smart enough to cite terms and make paragraphs, then you should also be smart enough to be understood with lesser words and more reason. This discussion section is for -all- KHV and not everyone has the same degree of knowledge. We expect everyone to respect that fact. Insult none, enlighten all. Respect each other. If I'm understanding this correctly, I'll ask. If they handled their resources badly, wouldn't it just be better not to sell things like video games in the first place? I mean, why waste resources on something as expensive as making a video game. If in the end, you wouldn't even be able to regain money from utilizing your resources? Why mass-produce anything that isn't ordered beforehand? Somewhat unrelated, but there is no Netflix in my country because the level of piracy is too high. So that makes me wonder if there's really -nothing- wrong with piracy.
Yeah, you'll be able to partake this year in the Castle Oblivion event. And you can win the Castle Survivor pin. I mean, the activity or trivia will be a bit different, but overall, you can win the pin and a Christmas stocking with goodies inside.
Okay, well. Here's some pointers. Events shouldn't just be made for the sake of making events, specially when winter comes, which is when we have Castle Oblivion, Secret Santa, year end stuff and the like. So your window of opportunity right now is in November, since planning an event takes time. It doesn't have to be a trivia only, it can be any sort of activity, but it has to be planned with time. Also, I guess I should mention that tier pins and more than one pin for events is something that is normally avoided. Having two is really rare, and three is only reserved for really strange and unique occasions. Also, if the activity is bound to be one-shot, there's going to be a pin for that soon. And well, there's also a player pin in the works, but it's for an entirely different purpose. We could give it out in this event -as a sort of promotion- but as I said before, planning is needed. The problem is that we know very little about KH3D in itself, so we really wouldn't have much material to go on. If you need any help with planning and the likes, feel free to contact me or any other staff you feel comfortable with. It seems like there's a few people interested in it, so that's a start.
