Oh yeah! You're right! I guess I always associated him with that name because of the 'some daaaay my priiiince will coooome' song.

I thought it was hilarious that Aqua took forever to figure out the Mask illusion thing and wore herself out, but Terra took no time at all and said the fight was 'disappointing' XD

[gold_panner]

Mwahaha! That happens to me every time I'm translating for a Disney world >:3

But didn't Aqua come to that world waaay after the others?? Or did she just take a long time zooming around in the Lanes Between before she got there? BBS timeline, why do you confuse my poor brain so ;~;

Oh no!! I only have 15 and thought it was kinda cool, but wow, now that I think of it, it must really suck for someone who has lots...

I don't think I've posted before, but I've been following your translation work for a very long time. I love the novels very much because there's parts not in the game as well as the thoughts of the characters, and I cannot express how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into translating these. <3

In regards to the timeline, I noticed it seemed funny in the game, and the odd timeline is even more apparent in the novel is seems. If I may add my 2 cents, I wonder if time flows differently for other worlds... In an interview Nomura mentioned the Realm of Darkness' time flows different (which is why Aqua can be gone for 10 years but it wouldn't feel nearly as long to her). But now I wonder if different time-flow plays a part in normal worlds. That's the only way I can explain the funny timeline.

Sorry to suddenly go off theorizing on you when I've never spoken to you before! XD; I don't think I can say it enough, but thank you again for your work. <3

I kind of know who you are, because I saw you follow me a while ago ♥ Thank you for sticking with me for so long!

That would make sense for issues between different character timelines, and I'll keep it in mind :3 However, in this particular case, Snow White meets the dwarves and then gets poisoned in Ven's one story; he brings her to their house, then he runs off and meets the evil queen on her way with the poison apple five minutes later. Unless we decide that it took Ven a few days to run from the Dwarves house to the field to find Terra, it doesn't leave much time for Snow White to bond with the dwarves, which then makes the extent of their mourning kind of weird.

Thank you so much for this lovely comment!

Man, I wish Kanemaki's novels had half the lovely description yours does!! And I like how you put both languages, that would be really helpful for people who are interested :3

And yessss ugh I played with that heart part for ages until I finally gave up and just made a note. I almost cheated and looked at the localisation game script, which upon looking right now has:

The Queen: +chuckles+ There is a young maid who resides in this castle. Her name is Snow White. Kill her. And to make sure you do not fail, bring back her heart...in this.
Terra: Her heart? I don't understand. You're after the hearts of light, too?
The Queen: What I demand is her life. I have had more than enough of her light.

That's pretty clever, I reckon! But ours are cool too haha

I hope you do continue your novelisation! Good luck! :D

Hello Gold Panner,

Thank you so much for your hard work for translating Kingdom Hearts novels. You helped the fans who are interested in reading novels, Especially Kingdom Hearts!. Keep up the good work and take your time!

I have a question, are planning to write Full novel of Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora's Chain of Memories, & Re:coded?

Yours Faithfully,
YARoumi

[gold_panner]

Hello YARoumi!

I do want to write the other three KH2 novels, Sora's COM and Re:coded someday, but I do not own them right now. Unless I get them as a present, I plan to translate the novels I own first, before I buy any more. Right now I only own two of the BBS novels and the first KH2 novel, so those will come first.

I'm sorry it's taking so much time! Thank you very much for your lovely comment!
