KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

As you might have noticed, the site is looking pretty different! It is my proud duty to unveil KH-Vids's newest redesign, KH-Vids 7.0! Before I start to highlight the new eye candy you've got ahead of you, let me explain a little: it is the tradition of KH-Vids to release our new styles on KH-Vids's anniversary in December. However, in August of 2012 we underwent the taxing but worthwhile move to Xenforo, a new forum software, thus introducing KH-Vids 6.0. In order to get the site up and running as quickly as possible, I downloaded a pre-made style, modified it for KH-Vids, and dubbed it KH-Vids 6.0. It worked well and looked nice!

But I am of the school of thought that KH-Vids should have something entirely custom, built specifically for us, by us. Once everything had settled down after the Xenforo move, I began work on KH-Vids 7.0. I tried my best to have it done by the end of December but was unable to--however, I've busted my butt the past few weeks and the skin is now available, albeit a few weeks late!

I do sincerely hope you guys like KHV's new look. The KH-Vids 6.0 styles will be disabled as I will no longer be supporting them, and 7.0 is really quite similar in color scheme and layout. I know a lot of users want a light style for KH-Vids and I do hope to provide it one day! Instead of explaining the snappy new appearance of KH-Vids, I'll leave you all to see it for yourselves.

KH-Vids 7.0 has been tested rather extensively by myself and the staff team. I have tried all the major browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer), and while it functions fine on any of those, if you are using anything below Internet Explorer 8, I highly recommend that you upgrade to a newer version, or to a more modern browser. You'll be able to experience the full pizzazz behind KH-Vids 7.0!

Should you find any display issues, browser-specific or not, please reply to this thread with the following:

• Screenshot of the problem
• Link to a page where you see the problem
• What operating system you use
• What browser you use (include the version!)

... and I will address it as soon as possible.

Late last night PLAY ARTS -KAI- announced they'd be releasing KINGDOM HEARTS: Dream Drop Distance play arts. The figures feature Sora and Riku in their KH3D gear. They appear to be packaged with two Keyblades each.

Square Enix's official website for the HD Collection has recently updated by adding in the 358/2 Days section. Similar to what they did for the Final Mix tab, a Characters, Screenshots, and New features page have been added. Pictures for the Characters and Screenshots can mainly be found in past Famitsu articles, but can be seen below. The New features tab, again has been seen in past articles, and also shows a comparison between the DS and upcoming PS3 version.

This next video from CGNET is another future video for the Kingdom Hearts series that involves Roxas and Xion. Reconnect Xion & Roxas (Memories With Those In Our Heart) is a video that focuses on the friendship between two friends. The timing of the video is to be released a month shy from the HD installment of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD in celebration of the fully rendered scenes from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

The future Kingdom Hearts videos focuses on a couple of characters that reveal information to each other based on what we know from start to end in the series. This gives a feel for how the character may interact with others if they were able to telepathically communicate. All information is accurate, however what makes theses videos interesting is how they're able to talk to each other even though they are not able to see each other in person.

Voice talent has been provided by Mike (CGNET) as Roxas and Verso (who is our new Xion). Greater_bloo also makes a slight cameo appearance as Sora.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix is set to release in Japan on March 14 2013. A release date has not been announced for North America or Europe as of this time.
