KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

Hey everyone, as day one of Jump Festa ends, we have small information regarding releases, and other small information missed out on!

- Music featured in 358/2 days include (Lazy Afternoons, Sinister Sundown, Sacred Moon, Destiny's Force, and Roxas. (Sounds as though 358/2 days will not be featuring new music for now)
- Coded is set for the FOMA, and both Coded and 358 have been slated in a 2008 Release
- There is a clock in 358/2 days, however it's purpose is unknown.
- There is a command for BBS Known as "Fatal Mode" and is believed to be a finisher for the game.
- At the end of BBS trailer, the game is marked as a "Work in Progress"

Very Interesting Speculation I found out
It's noted that in the Birth by Sleep, Terra and Ven are either referring to themselves as "Friend" or to Aqua as "Friend."

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ Xemnas is referring to Aqua's Armor as "Friend", and looks closer to Terra, then Master Xehanort does. What is Nomura planning?

Well then, while we wait to see if anything new pops up at the end of the next day of Jump Festa, here's the other stuff we covered.

Birth by Sleep Analysis
Day 1 Coverage

Source: Light in the Chaos

Hey everyone, as we've been providing you fast with Jump Festa 2008, we've now got a trailer analysis for Birth by Sleep! Like at TGS, we've been sure to cover everything we could as fast as we can.


The text starts off with "Sleep gives birth to the concealed fate of the past."

Destiny Island
The screen then fades in with a conversation between Ven, and Terra.
Terra: "Wasn't there a time when you was saving me?"
Ven: "Back then it was probably because we were friends."
Terra moves his hand to rests it on Ven's shoulders.
Terra: "Thank you, Ven."

Place of Gathering
The scene then switches to Terra, and Master Xehnoart who are in the "Place of Gathering."
Xehanort: Did you believe about reaching forward to grasp that last glimmer? The wall of light and darkhas exceeded each other, creating the original me, and Terra waited for me impatiently." (While Xehanort is talking he opens one of his hands in a greeting fashion enraging Terra.)
Terra: "I have a "Friend" What you have done has given me hatred to Xehanort."
Terra then summons his keyblade, within the right hand.

Olympus Coliseum
Ven meets Xehanort in Olympus Coliseum.

Ven: "Who a-...I've met you before. (Ven is surprised as he is remembering something.)
Xehanort: "It seems you have lost something. However unless what you have lost is put back into your hands, it will be an eternal lost. Once you obtain it, grip it and understand the truth."

Xehanort is soon holding his hand out, as it begins to glow, Ven is watching with an expression of fear and confusion.

Gameplay
Ven is showed as a playable character now, and Terra is also showed with gameplay. There is also a new Technique shown, with the movie "Aerial."

Yensid's Tower
Mickey is shown defending himself with the keyblade. However soon he begins to fumble the keyblade and it vanishes. Goofy, Donald, and Yensid watch Mickey. Mickey soon looks back up to the Wizard, and summons his Keyblade once again.

Sleeping Beauty
Malificent is looking around the castle where vines are everywhere. The crow soon lands on Malificent's shoulder as she turns towards Terra. Terra looks at Malificent, as Malificent begins to laugh doubtfully.

Place of Gathering 2
Ven is facing off against the Dark Soldier, and knocks off his helmet, however his face is not shown. The scene soon switches to Terra holding an unconcious Ven, with Master Xehanort looking desperate, and apologetic.

Xehanort: "The person who has wrapped himself in the darkness does not have the qualification to weild a keyblade. He is a demon who has been taken by the darkness. Please correct my mistake..." (Just who is this Dark Soldier?)

Destiny Island
Terra is looking out from the coast towards two boys who are playing at the beach. (Sora and Riku) At the same time Ven is at twilight town watching the Coast. He is looking down, and appears to be sad. "I don't want to be depended on, you are my "Friend" just erase me." ("Friend" might be refering to Aqua, or Terra)

Here are some interesting analysis, besides the obvious.

"Friend" could be referring to either Terra, or the mysterious Aqua.
Xehanort may not have started off corrupt in the darkness, however his apprentice fell too deep in the darkness.

Hey everyone,, it seems a lot of news popped up yesterday,which was rather surprising, but at the same time not considering Jump Festa is so close!


First of all, the new Kingdom Hearts site, 358/2 days has updated with information on the gameplay, for those that will be playing the demo at Jump Festa. You can view the newly updated page Here


Second of all, some new images have popped up from Famitsu's Magazine's Birth by Sleep Scan. As always, or at least most of the time what we see in scans before an event is something we're expected to see at an event. Meaning Jump Festa 2007 has a higher chance of having a new trailer of the three games.




Finally, a new cover of the Art Work of KINGDOM HEARTS has been fully revealed, although oddly at the same time the release date has been pushed back to January, although Square-Enix's Calendar still has it set for December. We'll keep you updated as time passes.
