- The game seems to feature Roxas and Axel
- The Organization XIII meeting room was shown as well
- A screenshot is shown of Sora and Mickey in Traverse Town (Sora was wearing his KH1 clothes, and they were small on him like in KH2)
- The subtitle read something like "The day the King and I were here..."
- This game will be part of a series(more than one game)
- None of the game will be a remake, they are 100% original.

The resolutions are PS2/Wii resolutions. So, the game is coming either to the Wii or the PS2.

Ignore most of it. Except for the scans, the info is unreliable at best. The screen comes from a KH title for a platform that 2ch did not announce. The scans are all you can trust at this point.

- The game seems to feature Roxas and Axel

If there is any truth to this, at all, omgsold.

Thanks for the info! (_ _)/

- None of the game will be a remake, they are 100% original

Is this part actually true?? o_O I read an interview with the creators and whatnot that the next game would be like a mix of CoM and KHII. They also informed about new battles and new cutscenes. I don't completly trust the fact that none of the game will be a remake. It probably is. I mean, why go back to punny and miserable Sora? Just continue the storyline if you're making a sequel. -sigh- And also if its not a remake, then i say, how are they gonna make three games at once?? There's KH3 (a prequel), KHII final remix and now THIS???? These people are crazy. KhI, CoM, final remix and II might have left them money, but making three games at once is suicide...o_o

And now I just found out there are 2 more o_O. KH 0 AND CoM2 >_>

So yeah, that's my opinion. Im sorry If I sounded a bit too rough. I was letting all my thoughts out. Also, forgive me if I'm wrong.... gomen ne.

[Guildenstern]

If KH3 is on PS3 I'm going to be emo. Forever.

Axel and Roxas?! +1

[Kibou_chin]

If KH3 is on PS3 I'm going to be emo. Forever.


It is coming out for PS3 >_> I really dont want that. They should at least release one PS2 too D=. Ill be emo too.... unless a ps3 miraculously falls down from the sky and ends up under my xmas tree xDDD

[emoloz]

So there going back now or what? Gah this story gets even more confusing. It does look like PS2 graphics which is a shame but i think there working on a PS3 title with a little twist to the story.

A Kingdom Hearts game has never been confirmed to be released on the PS3, yet.

[tari101190]

wow, roxas and axel are the major faves i think. if there was a side story kh game while we wait for that offical new kh series that would be great.

[Kibou_chin]

I know, but it probably will. Japanese are evil sometimes you know. They don't consider people's pockets. :cry

[avidlinuxuser]

Actually, the only platforms rumored to have any KH titles, at least by an official publication such as EGM, are DS, PSP, and Wii. Ignore the other stuff in that thread cause it's about as reliable as early spoilers for bleach. They might be true, but it's most likely not. EGM has said there will be a title Kingdom Hearts 0 for the PSP, and the Wii will get a game as well. The DS is only rumored cause of it's massive sales and CoM was originally on the GBA.

[Byakuya]

Anything featuring Roxas is worth a purchase.

[Primera Espada]

For one, the next kingdom hearts game that is shown in the special trailers is not Kingdom Hearts III, it's another game in the series, but not the direct sequal. ANd yes, it does take place *later*. Just because the teaser was mostly flashback, don't forget the events in the teaser for KHII all happened prior to the actual occurrence of KHII.

Also, the pics shown do not look like scans at all. Rather it looks like someone took stuff from Kingdom Hearts II final mix (which includes a full 3d remake of chain of memories, therefor including a lot more of roxas and axel) and made an ad out of it.

Suspicious, in my opinion.

[avidlinuxuser]

It's very legit. It's from V-Jump, one of the premier gaming magazines.
Here's another article from the Weekly Jump with the same info,
http://www.forever-fantasy.net/images/news/september_famitsu_kh_hq.jpg

Also, some clarification. Not all the screens are from the same game. There are multiple games being planned. The screen with Terra is what shows this is not Final Mix+. Also, Mickey never uses another keyblade besides the gold keyblade which I believe is the keyblade of darkness. So yeah, some of these are new images. The only old one is the picture in the top right of the Weekly Jump article.

[aznxenocide]

First of all, this was announced a LOONNNGG time ago. And it's not a sequel...it's basically an expanded version of KH2. You'll be able to fight all of the Organization. Apparently, some of them are impossible. XD

which screens are you talking about dude? The images in the first post are all Final Mix.

[Velius]

Hmm. I remember hearing bout the final mix for KHII a while ago, but really didn't look into it. xeno, how about some links to clear this up?! :D /lazy

[aznxenocide]

lol, final mix is already released in Japan. There are youtube links of Sora versus the rest of the Organization.

The KH titles to be shown at Square's close theatre at TGS have been announced.

KH Coded - Mobile
KH 358/2 Days (358 Days Over 2) - DS
KH Birth by Sleep - PSP


KH 358/2 Days:

- Begins with the ending of KH Re:CoM, and mentions "the opposite side of time, while Sora was sleeping".

- The entire game is centered around Roxas, and his time while Sora is asleep, as expected.

- XIII Org game total. 4 player multiplay.

- Ends with "In another 151 days, I will disappear from this world..."


KH Birth by Sleep:

- Begins with the the KH ending going backwards to the Opening. "The distant past", "Destiny is born from the sleeping secret".

- Takes place in Hollow Bastion.

- Features the characters from the KH2FM+ secret ending, including the old man.

Square Enix's Tokyo Game Show presentation is currently going down in Japan and we've got the first details on the trio of new Kingdom Hearts titles.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for PSP looks to be a single-player adventure in the vein of the PlayStation 2 iterations, though not "Kingdom Hearts III." Birth by Sleep's protagonist was not explicitly named in the presentation, but he looked an awful lot like Zack of Final Fantasy VII/Crisis Core fame.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days for Nintendo DS appears to star Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II, but its main draw looks to be four-player simultaneous play using members of Organization XIII. It will be in full 3D.

Kingdom Hearts: Coded is a mobile game, likely for Japanese cell phones. It stars the familiar cast of main characters from the original Kingdom Hearts (Sora & co.) and seems to be set between the first and second PlayStation 2 titles.

Each title is said to have a time-related theme: Birth by Sleep is "the distant past," KH: 358/2 Days is "time of the other side," and Code is "time has gone by." More as it comes!


http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3162989

=O Four player KH with Organization XIII as the main characters. I have to buy the DS KH.

[Velius]

Well, not sure what the original stuff was and at this point I don't care much. XD After reading those, I'm pumped for all of them. I wonder why no PS2 game... hmmm...

[avidlinuxuser]

Btw, the story with Mickey and stuff is the cellphone game. I think it's safe to say, the screens from V Jump and Weekly Jump were ALL 3 games. Those pics with Terra? PSP. Roxas and Axel? DS. Mickey and Sora? Mobile.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7900089&postcount=105

The guy who says this is the one translating stuff from famitsu's site to English. Basically, almost all of those pics are from the three new games.

Edit: If you believe cell phones are incapable of good graphics, look at the just announced RE4 mobile edition.

Edit #2:
1. It's confirmed the screens are from the three games coming out.
2. http://www.square-enix.com/jp/company/j/news/2007/download/20070920_49.pdf
In the PDF file, you can see what teams are making what. The Crisis Core Team is working on the cell phone game. The KH: CoM Remix team is working on the PSP title. Hand, the makers of Chocobo Tales which was an awesome game btw, is making the DS title.

Edit #3 :KINGDOM HEARTS: BIRTH BY SLEEP
Trailer Summary & Notes
Video begins by showing scenes of the ending of "Kingdom Hearts 1", Soon the text "Deep Past" comes up, to be followed by "Shut-Eyes gives birth to the concealed fate"

Scene cuts to an area featuring the boy who looks like Roxas, Ven, talking to a young male with black hair, the area seeming to be like "Hollow Bastion". The boy soon calls the young male "Ven." The scene continuously changes before showing the Old Man that is seen in the Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ Secret Ending.

The old man's name is "Master Xehanort" and "Master Xehanort" calls the young boy "Terra". Soon Terra summons the keyblade into his hand.

Soon some worlds are shown, such as "Olympus Coliseum" and a new world, which resembles that of Sleeping Beauty is shown, confirming it's existence.

The scene then changes to Terra fighting against the mysterious dark male, who looks like he's in a bicycle suit, also from the secret ending. Terra manages to knock off the helmet, but his face isn't shown.

The scene soon moves to King Mickey summoning his Keyblade. Soon the scene begins to change rapidly, and Terra is at a beach, watching two boys playing before resting his sword into the grove. The two boys soon begin to become more visible, and it looks like Sora and Riku playing at the beach.

Finally, Terra says..
"Please don't depend on me, just erase me...friend"

------------------------------------------------------------------

KINGDOM HEARTS: 358/2 DAYS
Trailer Summary & Notes
The trailer starts from the scene where re:COM ended, afterwards the words "The other side attached to Sora still sleeps" and "The mind comes back whenever they touch." The scene then moves to Twilight Town, where Roxas, and Axel are sitting on the edge, as seen in KH2FM+.

Soon the trailer switches to Roxas being invited to the Organization XIII, and introduced to them, which soon cuts out to another scene of Roxas joining the Organization for the first time. Soon the scene then switches to the King talking about Axel, and Saix with Roxas pulling out his keyblade, moving into gameplay.

The gameplay features Roxas fighting with other Organization Members in a multiplayer game. This one confirms the allowance of being able to play as Roxas, Axel, Saix and Xigbar.

The scene then switches to Xemnas talking towards other Organization members. Xemnas explains that a 14th member has joined the Organization, and the 14th member appears to be a female, wearing a black hood. Soon the title comes up as "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days"

You can then hear Roxas in the background saying "I will disappear from this world in 151 days"

Cow's Observation:
KH:358/2 Days is an odd title as you could tell, but if you think about the story's timeline it might not be!

Consider this: KH2 takes place 1 year after KH1 and Roxas' Story starts 7 days prior to Sora's(as far as canon goes it was 7 days). 365 days- 7 days is 358 days.

So with that in mind it could be assumed that the story covers Roxas' point of view all the way to when he appears in Kingdom Hearts II. Now what still has not been accounted for is why it is called KH:358/2 Days... The "/2" is still a mystery. Just keep in mind, this is just an observation!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Kingdom Hearts Coded
Trailer Summary & Notes
First thing that was shown, was the ending of Kingdom Hearts II, afterwards the text "The secret ending is solved, and the worlds still extend" Is shown, and then the words "Flow" is shown.

The video then officially begins with Jiminy Cricket looking at his journal, the words "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" pop-up. He then notices something he did not right in his journal "You need to return, to heal the wounds" Jiminy Cricket then rushes to report to King Mickey. Mickey who is startled by this only replies with "Only he is the one who can solve it." The scene soon changes to Sora standing in Destiny Islands, in Kingdom Hearts 1. However Sora only appears in the form of computer data that is being transmitted.

After the image, the game soon changes to a battle scene. Heartless are attacking, and the gameplay mechanic seems odd, as Sora appears to be moving pies of blocks making it a puzzle game in a sense. Soon the command "Debugging" comes up. When this command is clicked, Sora moves at high speed, and vanishes as well. The scene soon changes to Sora being in Traverse Town with Mickey (As seen in the latest scans) With Mickey saying "I was here on that day." and then "Let's speak truly"

I know, but it probably will. Japanese are evil sometimes you know. They don't consider people's pockets. :cry


Very D:
If it comes out on PS3 I'm gonna cry and beg my parents for a PS3
I have one of those fat PS2's. So it better come out on that! :yell

Or I'll be sad. :cry

Idem .)

I will cry my pants out if this Kingdom Hearts comes on anything else other than a ps2 -

The extra scene in KH2 gave the idea of another in the game, not a sequel to KH2---

I'm more confused than ever, but it's probably because of the hour :) but sure, a new KH games is a must!! The series was just too good.

Same. D:

They do need a second one. They must bring Roxas back!
I totally miss him and plus he just cannot be a plot device D:

Anyways he needs more screentime and a bunch og other stuff. XD He should be a playable character in the actual new KH

XD The series was good. Excellent if I will. <3

[Vizard_King]

Awsome. Can't wait,man. They'll most likely try to think of an improved revolutionary battle system or something for it

[soulreaper539]

Games and Platforms:

The one with Roxas and Axel is called Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days(Nintendo DS)http://www.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-compilation/kh-358-2-days-2.html


Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep(PSP)http://www.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-compilation/birth-by-sleep-2.html

Kingdom Hearts Coded(Cell Phone)http://www.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-compilation/kh-coded.html

P.S.They all take place in diffrent time peroids

[Rasi]

Here is what i've heard (telling you know i don't know if it is true, so please don't get mad at me)

What i've heard is that the game about Roxas and Axel takes place after KH:COM and is for the DS, and that KHII:FM is coming out for the PS2 and the PS3 and includes the second KH game, Un-edited, and KH:COM for the PS2 just what i read out of the magazines. :P

[Revan1990]

well as far as I know there will be a game for the PSP and NDS(as Rasi said) they seem to show Axel and/or Roxas story in more detail...
as for KH3, guess its for PS3, cuz from what i heard it will be released only 2010, cuz square enix is working on FF. And who would release a PS2 game in 2010??

[Kaori Machida]

I'd love to get KH2: FM and RE: CoM. And as much as I love new Kingdom Hearts games coming out, it just makes me more sad because I don't have any of the newest game systems. I shall die if I don't get to play the other games. I still need a Wii and a DS...and I highly doubt I'll be getting a PS3. *sigh* So many game systems, so little money. T_T

lol but i bought a ps2 because of KH I(and i dont regret it), guess I able to do that again^^

[Kaori Machida]

Lol I just recently bought a PS2 last summer. My first non-Nintendo system. But I'd buy a Wii before a PS3, and PS3 in my opinion is way too much money for a game system. Sure, there are games for it I want to play (Kingdom Hearts, Assassin's Creed, DEVIL MAY CRY 4! So upset I can't play DMC4 right now...) but I don't know if I'll dish out the money for the system.

[Revan1990]

well here it costs about 400€, so it is a bit very expensive...agree with that...I could buy it, but the main problem for me is that the games are a bit to expensive...but of course there are other ways to get the games *cough* and so on...

But I think the PS3 has better games then the other two systems...like the ones you mentioned, Kaori...and i wanna try Eye of Judgment^^

[Kaori Machida]

Well I don't know about better games...Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, all games for Wii I'm dying to play. They should release Kingdom Hearts on Wii too, seeing as they already have KH games for other Nintendo systems, that way I'll live without having a PS3 XD

[Revan1990]

yeah, well but it looks like Square Enix is focusing on the PS systems, maybe cuz they have better graphics then the other ones...

[AnimeGirlPan]

theres been info of being a kh3
and something about a keyblade war

[Sexta]

Personally, I'm looking forward to the PSP game more. I'm still gonna get the DS game though.

When they do release KH3, I really hope it'll be released on the PS3. I'm a graphics whore! :cry Can you just imagine what it would look like in 720p?

Another thing, I prefer buttons over motion sensing. :noworry A lot of times, they're just tacked on.
Swing a sword - swing the wiimote
-Why can't I just press a button?
Fly a ship with the PS3 motion sensor
-What's wrong with the analog stick?

I never really saw the point of it, besides wanting people to move more. IMO, motion sensing might be pointless in a KH game...

[vaizado]

The KH games are as overrrated as FF.

[Poiison]

Yeah. I heard about this.

If you watched KH FM+ and finished KH2
Axel dies trying to save Sora, Roxas later in the end merges with Sora again after Roxas comes out to talk to Namine who also merges with Kairi. Personally that was where I thought Roxas and Axel stopped showing up, but when I saw KH FM+ Axel had gotten Namine. So Apparently they were unmerged D;
But later Roxas and Axel are sitting in Twilight town together and after the long talk they have they disappear into the sunset.

I hope it comes out for PS2 though <3
I don't have a Wii and I really don't want to go out and buy one just for this game D;
It's good to see Roxas and Axel are also featured in this game ;D

[Alphonse]

This is the Coded one right?

Well I wish it was for the PS2 not mobile phones.

[Ymir'sEmbrace]

There are actually three new KH games coming out in the near future. A puzzle game for moblie phones, KH:358/2 days ((pronounced Kingdom Hearts: three hundred fifty eight over two days)) for the DS which is the one featuring all of the Organization 13, and the new PSP KH entitled KH: Birth by Sleep.

BBS is the prequel to the series while 358/2 days is a pseudo-prequel to KH2 where you play as the Organization before Roxas opts to lose his memory. It hasnt' been stated yet if the puzzle game will have any semblance of story or plot, but I don't think it will.
