Interesting, so the epilogue will be available at WW launch.

The epilogue and secret movie will probably be sequel bait if KH2 is anything to go by. Not gonna pin my hopes on this at all.

Ah, so that was how they were combatting leaks, decent idea. If y'know, not great for those with absolutely no internet.

What is a memory archive!?

Pretty interesting that the secret movie will only be added 2 days after the release...something really cool must happen in it.

Not everyone in the world will be able to be taken care of and made happy. There's no great way of combating leaks and spoilers, and this is a new idea and attempt. And lets face it, the main market and target audience for all these major games have internet in some way. Unfortunate for those that don't, but unfortunately not everyone can be taken care of, and they are not in the target audience.someones always going to be left behind.

To be honest, I'm expecting the secret movie to be more like The Gathering and not a battle scene like Another Side and Birth by Sleep were.

I think they will use again the tease > longer tease formula like in past numbered titles.

Oh that's cool, that probably would be better off in the review version of the game, since it is a way to know about the series before KH3,, and I'm sure reviewers will talk about that.

Wouldn't be surprised if reviewers already saw an early version of this stuff.

Reminds me of the time that one MS guy got fired for saying something like this on twitter

How is removing the secret ending and epilogue going to stop leaks? The rest of the game is still on the disc and can be spoiled still. The logic for this is completely idiotic.

I really don't get the point in the split schedule at all.

I'm still confused as to why they have 2 release dates for this game. Why not release the game at the same time globally? Doesn't make any sense to me...

The ending is kind of the biggest and most important bit of a story. Do you really want the ending, of all things, spoiled before the game releases?

Maybe to you. Personally I'd rather nothing get spoiled but that doesn't mean I want the entire game not on the disc. Cutting story content for players like this and making it a download is absurd.

Do you have a better idea? You could leave the endings in and let fans that have been waiting get spoiled pre-release? It's bad enough that the game leaked so early, but at least the ending is still kept safe.

I dont but it is what it is. Kind of weird to remove something out the game to resolve spoilers unless you download it

I'd rather wait a couple days for a free patch and get the secret ending with said patch than have some asshole steal the game off the back of a truck a month early and spoil everything.

I don't get people complaining about the epilogue being downloadable, like it's going to affect them.

What's ironic is they complained about the game having no side or post-game content and then they fucking went and actually found a shit tonne of side and post-game content.

It's almost like letting random Redditors with literal stolen copies of a game dictate the entire public discussion about said game before its release is a stupid idea.

This game certainly don't feel rushed, not at all....
I'm still mad about the English only dub for a mainline entry.

Yep. An absolute fool and it's awful because people have formed opinions based on his idiocy and false statements.

I can't believe there's another two weeks before the game is out and this is all over.

It's totally ridiculous, and the fact that these people come here to this thread with their "opinions" based on leaks is even worse. Disgusting.

I get you being cute but I mean are we talking story issues, gameplay issues, lack of side content?

Don't worry, it's one person that is completely exaggerating about side content, but 10 hours after finishing the game he is still playing and finding new things.

Not going any further to derail this thread but rest assure there are no gameplay problems.

Like I already said, removing the epilogue and secret ending isn't going to stop spoilers from happening when the rest of the game is on there, so acting like this actually solves anything besides satisfying people who think a post game ending is the only thing that matters is silly and makes people have to waste their time and bandwidth downloading stuff that should just be on the disc to begin with.
