KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

Hey everyone, it seems as though ffkh has typed up their own summary of the trailers, and went into more detail on the text.


KH Birth by Sleep
o The beginning scene is from the ending of KH to its opening.
o "Sleep gives birth to the concealed fate in the far past."
o The boy with different clothes, and has the same face as Roxas, is talking to the person known as Terra who has dark hair. The boy who looks like Roxas is called "Ven" by Terra.
o Terra: "Are you the one who, at one time, saved me?"

Ven: "Because, you are my friend."
Ven starts to laugh because he said it. Is Terra [on] a rock? Terra jumps off and puts a hand on Ven's shoulder.
o Terra: "Thank you, Ven." (Tomo notes: This scene seems very familiar..) Terra is shown to continuously face the elderly man who appeared in the Secret Movie of KHII:FM+ in the wilderness. (The voice and appearance of Xehanort is quite different from his appearance in KH although, the elderly man is called "Xehanort".)
o Elderly man (Xehanort): "It was believed that you would reach it at last."
Elderly man (Xehanort): "The wall of light and dark is exceeded. It is the original me."
Elderly man (Xehanort): "Impatiently waiting, often reaching last, Terra!!"
The elderly man spreads out the palm of his hand, gladly. Terra, on the opposite side, is angry.
o Xehanort meets Ven (Roxas?) in the Olympus Coliseum.
o (It is considerably vague of what the elderly man's final words say.)
Elderly man: "It's been a long time."
Ven: "Who? You know me ----------!?"
Ven is surprised to recall something.
Elderly man: "It seems you lost something"
Elderly man: "However, it is not eternal. To obtain what is lost."
Elderly man: "Everything is regained. The truth is gripped and is taken only now." The elderly man waves his hand in a movement as if to summon magic.
Ven (Roxas?) watches with an expression that becomes confused and fear.
o Afterwards, the world of the wilderness appears again.
o Terra: "I have my friend."
Terra: "What was done to answer a burning Xehanort and his mind?"
o Terra calls out the keyblade in his right hand. The effect is the same as the man in armor of mystery who "stays put thoughtfully" that appeared in KHII:FM+. Same person?
o ~Battle Mode~
Scene shows that player can operate Terra. (Yay!)
The setting is the forest from "Sleeping Beauty". A castle can be seen that's darkly covered with roses?
At the battle field, Terra jumps over well towards the roses. He is fighting with advance Heartless and not Nobodies.
The Heartless jet-black shadow is about five times the size of a regular shadow Heartless (?). It had a vector shape head.
Terra used familiar commands such as: "Flight", "Fire", "Blizzaga", "Sandaga", "Air hit" (on the left command list), "Fire blitz", "Air lift", and also "Air volley".
o The scene has changed completely to the wilderness.
o The person wearing a black helmet and black clothes (person who appeared in KHII:FM+'s Secret Movie) encounters Ven.
o The person of mystery blows off Ven.
o The King summons and uses the keyblade to momentarily protect a fallen Ven. The King is wearing clothing colored black and grey that we haven't seen up until now. The keyblade in his hand is the Starseeker.
o Terra and the elderly man (Xehanort), who are in the wilderness with fallen Ven, face each other again.
The scene has changed completely, and this time, the elderly man starts to appeal for something.
Elderly man (Xehanort): "The person who has been tied to the darkness doesn't have the qualification to use the keyblade."
Elderly man (Xehanort): "The man is a demon who has already been tied to the darkness."
Elderly man: "Please, I ask of you to correct my mistake!"

o Terra: "I used this power for my friend even though, the mastering is ordered!" (FF&KH notes: Perhaps, this "instruction of mastering"... Although, this part is vague, it's not popular.) Terra is watching the coast. (Coast of Twilight Town because of the evening time?)
o There are two boys who are playing using wooden swords and Terra watches from a grove. (Sora and perhaps, Riku?) Terra and the two boys are the only ones in the area.
o Ven is watching from a similar coast looking down. He has little expression on his face. This place isn't Destiny Islands. It's Twilight Town (?) because it's evening.
Ven: "Because he's a friend, please erase me."


* KH Coded
o The title of "KINGDOM HEARTS NEW CONCEPTS, NEW TITLES" is displayed with the beginning image in a form of waves.
o It shows the ending scene of KHII. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy are in Destiny Islands' play island laughing together in the water.
o The words appear: "Flow of time."
"The secret is solved."
"The world extends."
o It begins with an image of Jiminy Cricket narrating the scenes. (FF&KH user notes that the words that are placed down as Jiminy speaks are made to look very vague.)
o "My two journals are completed. One of them became blank because of Castle Oblivion. The words that were written in the journal said, 'Give thanks to Namine' .........eh?"
o One strange sentence that was written in Jiminy's Journal that should've become blank by KH:CoM: "It's necessary to return to healing their wounds."
o Jiminy finds the strange sentences and reports them to the King in a panicking manner.
o The King sees the strange sentences on the Journal.
o King: "I know only one person, in the world, who can solve this mystery....No, only him!"
Jiminy: "Ah!!"
o Sora appears standing on Destiny Islands wearing KHI clothing. A special effect surrounds Sora's body looking like he's being forwarded by a computer which momentarily hangs.
o Sora holds up his keyblade laughing proudly and begins to run.
o ~Battle scene begins~
o Sora, with Donald and Goofy following behind him, are walking into Traverse Town.
o The Heartless attack. Sora is shown moving a pile of blocks.
o Are there a variety of mini game elements such as puzzle games built in?
o In "Debugging mode", Sora's movement quickens, and various of actions join together when the command is executed. (Is it like the reaction command triangle button of KHII?)
o The scene where Sora goes off to the first stage in KH which is Traverse Town is shown at the end. Pluto tries to lick Sora's face and Sora wakes up in the back of the alley in Traverse Town.
o Sora chases Pluto and runs to the center of the town.
o Sora: "Here is where...?" which he remembers from the first volume of KH. (It's a bit different, although, it sure looks like the beginning scene of Traverse Town.)
o The King comes out of the back of the alley with a hand held up and walks toward Sora. (The King is in his usual clothing and not the clothes of the Org. XIII.)
o King: "Sora, your travel started here. However, I was here on that day too. Let me speak the truth."



KH 358/2
o The ending scene of KH Re:CoM is shown. Sora is seen sleeping in order to regain his memory.
o Words appear: "The other side is returning to Sora to sleep."
"Whenever crossing, the mind comes back."
o The scene of Roxas and Axel are shown sitting on the clock tower of Twilight Town.
o (Tomo's note: Taking this from Game Watch's post because it's the exact same thing here.) Roxas and Axel are watching the evening sun from the clock tower at the station as usual. The duty of the two people, who belong to the Organization, is to deal with the Heartless and to collect "Hearts". They always meet in the clock tower at this station at the end of each duty. They talk about their duties, while eating [sea-salt] ice cream together.
o They pull the sea-salt ice creams out of their mouths.
o Axel: "The sunset, do we know why it's to be red?"
Axel: "It is anything because it reaches until there are some colors in its light, and especially red which is the furthest color."
Roxas: "Why is Axel in a good mood?"
o The scene changes to inside the white room where Roxas is with the other Org. XIII members being introduced.
o It seems, this is the scene where Roxas enters the Organization.
o A scene of Axel and Saix talking about Castle Oblivion.
They are at "Memory's Skyscraper". Saix is standing on the stairs. Axel walks and turns his back towards him.
Saix: Axel, Xemnas sent me a message."
Saix: "There is a member in Castle Oblivion who is a betrayer."
Szix: "Erase him as soon as we find him."
Axel looks back but only his left side of his face shows.
Axel: "Is this really an instruction from Xemnas?"
Does Saix's expression deepen?
o The King meets a man with a black hood in the forest.
o The King looks mysterious himself. (He is wearing his black hood appearance.)
o The King is surprised and pulls out his keyblade momentarily, at the same time, pulls down his hood.
o ~Battle Scene~

o Roxas is manipulated (controlled by player), and the Heartless are being knocked down. The enemy is a Darkside.
o The operation to glide is possible to be used in the air.
o In addition, the scene that have the members of the Org. XIII members struggling in a joint battle seems to be the first multi-player of the KH series.
o The screen appears to be divided into four, and the players are able to operate Roxas, Xigbar, Saix, and Axel.

o The Org. members are all with deep expressions.
o Xemnas: "Today is a day, in which, we should be commemorating."
o Xemans: "A new companion came to join us. ....... It is the the 14th."
o The person who is called the 14th in appearance is a girl who is wearing a black hood. She walks towards the center of the room with a smile. Her face isn't able to be seen.
o The expressions of the Org. members varies from each member. Vexen and Larxene laugh. Marluxia and Leaxus express a little anger through their eyebrows. (Tomo's note: Remember, Org. members can only fake emotion.)
Vexen then starts to move. (FF&KH notes that his chair seemed to be awfully low.)
Axel moved his hand to his mouth.
Roxas' expression to be surprised to see the 14th member (or confused).
o Axel and Roxas are flying/hopping on the roofs of houses of Twilight Town.
o Roxas: "...Ahead of me, I see Xemnas...." (FF&KH user notes that his/her memory is vague about this part.)
o Roxas looks at the sunset on the clock tower again: "I will disappear from this world in 151 days."

Hey everyone, it seems as though those key chains were not from TGS at all, but a new item from Square-Enix. However according to the blog user, something was shown at the corner of the Gameshow in TGS (Not entirely sure if it was the Keyblades or something else.)

Anyways, these Keyholders A.K.A Keyrings are set for a October release, for 1,995 yen ($17 approximately), we'll be sure to get more information as time passes.

Edit: Also, just to add in a bit of information, as pointless as it may be, the trailer musics were different for each game, however none of them were new.

Coded used an Orchestrated version of Simple and Clean
358/2 Days used "Other Promise"
Birth by Sleep: Used "Fate of the Unknown"

Hey guys, even though there was a lack of news, we'll make that up for today.

Starting off, Square-Enix updated their US website, with a pdf file announcing the new Kingdom Hearts games, obviously this means that all 3 games. However we'll have to wait to see if there's a release for the US

View it Here

Next, a 2ch member managed to take lots of images with what happened at KH TGS, such as the posters, and more. All in nice quality as well!




Source: 2ch, and twilightsbeing for informing me about S.E's NA Update, and thanks to Monkey of KHI for noting me of the PDF saying it's only confirmed for Japan for now.

Hey everyone, The Light in the Chaos, managed to get to the Showroom, unknown if this is in TGS, it might be the "Character Exhibition" for Kingdom Hearts. And there, they took a picture of two keyblades, Oblivion and Oathkeeper, which were shown. The shop was crowded, so the blogger was unable to take a lot of photos.

Hey everyone, later on today we plan on linking to various sites that have their own trailer report, as they might contain something extra, for an interesting read. Gamespot has their own TGS Trailer impression on the 3 KH games, and it's truly worth a look!

Gamespot's TGS Report

Gamespot: "The biggest surprise at this year's Square Enix booth was the announcement of a new Kingdom Hearts project. While it may be true that Kingdom Hearts II left some questions unanswered, Square Enix has decided to expand on the world of Kingdom Hearts with not just one or two titles, but a trio of games for the DS, the PSP, and mobile phones. What's more, all three of the titles are different games with their own settings and timelines. Tetuya Nomura is working as the director for all three titles, together with Shinji Hashimoto, who will serve as executive producer.

The first title, Kingdom Hearts Coded, is the mobile game release. The game is being co-directed by Hajime Tabata and produced by Kousei Itou. No release date or carrier has been announced yet. Kingdom Hearts Coded's CG trailer started off with the words "Mysteries get solved, making the world wider" on a blank screen. The screen changed to a scene where Jiminy Cricket is flipping through the journal that he's written during his adventures with Sora. He stops at one page, which reads, "We must return to free them from their torment." Puzzled and unable to recall what that page was supposed to mean, he runs to consult the King (Mickey Mouse), who decides to search for answers by digitizing Jiminy's journal.

From what we can gather, the player apparently takes the role of a Sora that was born inside the digitized world of Jiminy's journal. We were shown a couple of clips of in-game footage, and although the graphics were mobile-phone quality, it still runs as a 3D action game and has the Kingdom Hearts atmosphere.

The second title, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, is the DS release. Unlike previous installments in Kingdom Hearts, the game focuses on the series' antagonists known as the Organization XIII, and Roxas, who was "the other main character" in Kingdom Hearts II.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days' trailer starts off from the last scene in Chain of Memories (PS2 version), and the words "The time during the opposite side, when Sora goes to sleep" appears on the screen. The scene changes to the station and clock tower in Kingdom Hearts II, with Roxas and Axel looking over the city at the sunset. In another scene, Roxas is seen sitting in a white room together with the rest of Organization XIII, and a new 14th member is introduced into the organization. Although the character's face was hidden by Organization XIII's traditional hooded jacket that she wore, it was apparently a female character, judging from her lips.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is a multiplayer action game where you can fight as an Organization XIII member and attempt to complete missions cooperatively with friends. During the trailer, we saw up to four characters fighting together on the same screen against a massive boss character in a city setting. The game will also feature a single-player mode, of course. The gameplay looked similar to the combat you're familiar with from past KH games, though the frame rate was running a little low in the trailer footage. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is co-directed by Tomohiro Hasegawa and produced by Patrick Chen. The game is being developed by h.a.n.d Inc.

Last but definitely not least of the three Kingdom Hearts games, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is a new title for the PSP. From checking out the trailers, it felt the most like a true Kingdom Hearts sequel of the three games (except that it's actually a prequel). Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep's trailer started off with the words "The distant past." And as it turns out, the game takes place before Sora's era, back in the days when there were multiple "keyblade masters" around the world. We're introduced to two characters whom we assume are the protagonists; a blond boy who looks strikingly similar to Roxas, and an older, taller, black-haired guy who looks a bit like Final Fantasy VII's Zack in baggy pants.

Audiences who have finished playing through Kingdom Hearts II were in for a surprise. As it turns out, the bonus secret movie from the game was apparently an event that took place in the past. During Birth by Sleep's trailer, we saw the same landscape and bald man with a gray goatee and yellow eyes that were featured in the KHII movie. It seems certain that he plays a key role in the game, as the trailer took time to show him trying to influence the blond-haired boy in some unknown way, and also facing off in combat against the black-haired man who's trying to stop him. In another scene, he was seen shouting, "Use your powers to break the darkness and fix my wrongdoings!" At the end of the trailer, a figure who looked like Mickey mouse appeared to confront the bad guy with a weapon that looked like a cross between a sword and a magic wand.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is directed by Tai Sasue and produced by Patrick Chen."

Thanks to our forum member Poki#3 for informing me of this.

Personally, Gamespot doesn't seem to have fully grasped the trailer, as they contradicted a few other trailer reports.
