Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In Land of Dragons, after the Captain finds out Ping is really Mulan, he tells the rest of his troops "Move out!" He then leads the group away. However, after all the troops have passed by, you see the Captain following behind them at the back of the group.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Sora: [Roxas's voice] A scattered memory like a far-off dream. A far-off dream like a scattered memory. I want to line the pieces up, yours and mine.

Passion -opening version-

fun game

I think what made this game fun was the familliarity in the sources of games and movies.. Although I did find it awkward to hear Goofy say Sephiroth and Mickey Mouse authentically swear an oath of vengeance...

I still recall the days in middle school when the rumor of Disney and Square were working on a game and how absurd it sounded.. turned out to be pretty good.

Anyway.. I really don't think pronouncing it finetically with a Japanese dialect is necessary... it's still spelled "Kingdom Hearts" In Japan... they don't put kingudam Hatsu on the box in Japan...

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the game....
