Maleficent

The fact that one of the worlds is modeled after Sleeping Beauty hints that Maleficent is involved in the game. Fractyl 04:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Your personal speculation is not confirmed fact. Stop adding it to articles. ' 04:48, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

In regard to content about Maleficent. I think the misunderstanding here is we may have different definitions of speculation. You saw a world for Sleeping Beauty, and made the obvious conclusion that Maleficent would be there. You're probably right, she may show up. But the readers of the article don't know that because there's no source that specifically states that right now. Because of that, Wikipedia deems that as speculation and original research, and that is the definition we have to follow. I'm sure all will be revealed down the road. We'll add in what we can as it becomes available; there's no real rush to fill this article with content. To be honest, I'm surprised at the amount that's in here considering the games was announced only two weeks ago. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 14:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC))

^Owned. Anyways, shouldn't we add some screenshots or something here. It ought to give the page more life, y'know? Famitsu recently put up pretty decent quality screens. One depicting gameplay for example is a must. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 06:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thing is, Nomura said that he already redid the battle system from the one in the trailer. ' 06:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Then a cutscene screenshot should do fine, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 12:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Let's not jump the gun. There's no real need for an image right now. Besides, there will be plenty of screen shots the closer it gets to the release date. Also please be sure to sign your comments with ~~~~ per WP:SIG (Guyinblack25 ^talk 12:59, 1 October 2007 (UTC))

Speaking of which, I read an interview with Nomura on www.khinsider.com where he states that the game will consist only of Disney Worlds. How come that's been deleted again, after it was cited? Jienum 13:00, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

It's in there, under the "Plot" section, the last sentence. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 13:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC))

Now wait, something doesn't make sense; screenshots revealed Terra and Ven in Radiant Garden; also, whats the deal with the "Gathering Place"; surely neither of those Disney worlds...o.O something is contradicting something else or other here... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 19:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Good point. But then again, those screenshots could be flashbacks or cutscenes and unplayable, like Destiny Islands was on KH2. Jienum 14:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Proper sourcing

To all editors that would like to add new information about the new game, please be sure to add proper citation along with your new content. Simply stating in the edit summary or in the sentence that it was in a recent or new magazine is only part of the information needed for proper sourcing. Additional information required is the name of the magazine, the issue #, and the publication date. In addition to that, other information that would be nice to have is the name of the article or section in the magazine, the page #s, and/or the name of the article writer. There are two reasons behind this.

1. Proper sourcing and citation add credibility to the information and lets the uninformed reader know the information is factual and reliable.
2. It also is required to make it to Good Article and Featured Article, which several of us would like to see in order to add the new games into the Kingdom Hearts Featured Topic. Without these articles at a level of quality of at least Good Article some time after they're released, the topic will be delisted.

The extra information is appreciated and we hope more is found, but without proper sourcing, we can't really have it in the article per WP:CITE. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 13:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC))

Release date

As stupid as it sounds, there have not been releases announced for any territories other than Japan. Will it probably get released here? I'm willing to bet yes. But until it's announced that it will be released in North American and Europe, putting that up is technically speculation. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 02:00, 3 October 2007 (UTC))

I agree, but, to be honest the only game confirmed to be released outside of Japan is oddly enough Coded, and even that is still "planning on." I say we stick to Japanese releases so far. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 19:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

GameSpot

Sorry to say this, but it needs to be cleared up: GameSpot, IGN, EGM, etc, NONE of those are reliable sources when it comes to international releases and exports to other regions, mainly because their "confirmations" are either speculation or wishful thinking. If it helps, these 4 are the most reliable sources we can use regarding any new news of releases: SquareEnix themselves; Famitsu; V-Jump; Gamaga. So lets stop this nonsense.
