This doesn't sound good...

For instance, right after we return from Venice, there'd be the Japan Premiere, public screening and release date to take care of. Not only that, there're still the preparations that need to be done in regards to many other related things and let's not forget the North American and European releases. Of course, before all these, there's still the matter of KINGDOM HEARTS II, and there are more that need our attention even BEFORE this one, believe it or not.

Nomura is making the rumors about the NA release date sound true. :sad: He lumped the NA release date with the European release date (both of which seem to be after the JP release). And he stated that KHII would be dealt with before a NA release of AC. This really sucks!!!! :mad:

Then, he said this:

As for the North American version, there are still several people we have yet to decide upon so I guess we'd better hurry our asses there as well...only 3 characters left, though! But we can't seem to find someone who's able to hit the right note on them...

It sounds like they haven't even finished dubbing it yet! :mad:

*sigh*

No more delays, no more delays ... I was having a good week and then all this crap started happening, what is with them?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS, NOMURA?! YOU ARE MY BISHIE!! :sad:

Well, it's not really his fault... :ermm: poor guys, so much pressure! :lol: I'd be in the happy hospital with a huge depression by now!! :lmao:
