This feels like typical Sony - Don't comment, don't mention - hopefully everyone will forget about it (backwards compat - reloaded). Shame, thought they had turned a corner. Ah well, if its not avalible online then I guess I'll just pass and watch the cutscenes when they are subbed - shame, I've heard fantastic things about the gameplay itself.

Various sources on the net claim that KH will completely lock your memorystick out (I guess it only saves data on the flash memory?). This is THE way to combat piracy, but it would also mean that the Go! is most certainly going to die.Originally posted by abigsmurf View PostComment

Pirates will inevitably be able to crack the game anyway, so this only serves to lock out Go! users.Comment

That can't be true (where would it save games on non-Gos?).Originally posted by saturn-gamer View Post

It's possible it never does a 100% complete install, that the code forcibly activates the UMD at certain points to load data, regardless of where it's reading from.
Square Enix have been pretty creative with their anti-piracy measures. You only really need to stop pirates for a couple of weeks to massively cut the number pirating.Comment

non-Go's have 64mb of flash memory. That wouldn't be an issue.
And yes, the most vital period, the launch hasn't been overshadowed by a leak.Comment

Three youths — Terra, Ventus, and Aqua — have been training long and hard under Master Eraqus to prove that they, too, exhibit the Mark of Mastery.

Will definately get this, I think the DS one will be the only one I've missed which I reckon I haven't missed too much. I doubt it's the case but hopefully this one will be the last of the cross-platform releases. This needs to settle with a format for KH3 onwardsComment

To be honest out of all the games, 358/2 has the least important plot elements needed for other games. There are things I'm guessing point to BBS and KH3 but I can't see much they could dwell too much on.Comment
