Don't know if we can talk in the info thread so I made this! So...Who thinks the new scans are simply AWESOME!!! Terra looks like a Keyblade Samurai or something and Ven looks EXACTLY like Roxas!! I can see why before people said he might be Roxas. I mean his clothes are similar too! Well for the gameplay it looks amazing and it seems you have even more options from the usual four (or eight for KH2) Well I can't wait for the release of more info and for the trailers that's gonna be awesome.

What do you guys think?

i think that Xehanort's(the old dude) apprentice,the dude with the mask

is the guy who Ansem the Wise found who only remembered the name Xehanort

it makes sense

maybe in the fight with Xehanort,his apprentice,Terra,Ven,and Aqua

something happened and Ansem the Wise found Xehanort's apprentice and called him Xehanort because its the only name he remembered

Development team from Kingdom Hearts RE:Chain of Memories, therefore the team in Osaka is handling the game as well.
Tetsuya Nomura: Development started earlier, however due to RE:COM needed to be improved a lot, the production of BBs was interupted.

Then we can consider it possible that the secret movie of KH2FM+ will play an important role in BBS?
TN: Yes

So does this take place before the first Kingdom Hearts game?
TN: Yes, however it does'nt start immediately before Kingdom Hearts.

Is there a representation to the name of Terra, and the other characters?
TN: In the origin of the names Earth is Terra, as Wind is Ven. However the real name of Ven is loner, this is just an alias.

The figure and age of the old man who is called Master Xehanort, is different from the Xehanort of Kingdom Hearts II. Also what is the relationship with the person who looks just like Roxas?
TN: There is a mystery to who each character is in the story, which I can not reveal right now.

Is the master who taught the three from the current series?
TN: I can't say.

The story will advance around these three people?
TN: Yes, it is also pretty complex in this game, and can become very series. Watanabe who took chare of the scenarios is skillful in this. Also he is supervising some of the scenarios of the other two titles. This game will also be a bit challenging since the game will be featuring the aspect of three people.

There will be an individual story for each of them?
Yasushi Kurosaw: Yes, also the gameplay and feeling for each of their playthroughs will be different. It will feel as if three games were made.

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories there was a chapter of Sora, and a chapter of Riku. Would you call these two scenarios?
YK: Yes, however in this case completing one story will create more mysteries for the other characters, making you wanting to play them to figure out the mysteries.

Like zapping?
YK: Well it depends, in a way the game wouldn't be the same if we changed it's contents.
Yoichi Yashimoto: It's not really easy to explain right now, please wait a bit more in the future. (Laughs)

How about the composition of the worlds? Where do you begin, and does it become an adventure where you go into Disney Worlds?
YK: I think that it will be better to keep a normal feeling of Disney Worlds, but also have new worlds as well. Of course there will also be two or more new worlds where you are surprised.

How much will they enjoy the games?
TN: Mainly the story will be their enjoyment, and because this game will take place in the past the Disney Worlds will also have a little timeshift as well.

When the battle images were shown to the public, there was a new enemy that wasn't a heartless or a nobody, what is it?
TN: It is neither, a Heartless or a Nobody, this is a new type of enemy. Because the existence of these creatures came before Heartless and Nobodies a starting point needs to be imaged, and it became a wild concept to them.
YK: Basically it becomes wild. However, its moves are fast!

What will the battle system become? As well as the "Lingering Spirit" and the character in the Secret Movie.
YK: That was done as a hint, because it is an image to the end. Also this game will be introducing a new system!
TN: It might be one of the most current games of the series that have been announced during this time. Also the Level system features a new idea that has not been seen before.
YK: "When you absorb it in what?" (Laughs) It is considered as a Novel, and an impact to the leveling system. (He seemed to have been quoting something, could it be a hint?)
YY: It is really interesting actually, however I think you'll be able to understand it more if you saw it from a screen image, so please wait a while longer.
TN: This growth system was made, by one person.

Can you give a hint?
YK: .....The level up is like growing.

Is it possible where people can play by bringing PSP's together?
YY: Well, we are thinking by a co-operation between people, or even competing against each other. We are trying to think of an element that could make use of the PSP fully.
TN: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has a different concept, and multiplayer is also complete, and different.

Though there seems to be a variety in the beginning of the story. The game system also seems to have more content to make it enjoyable.
YY: Well, the idea first came out really fast, and changed rapidly as well. It was interesting to see the traditional gameplay of Kingdom hearts, but at the same time the hardship of the gameplay as well.
TN: This is a game which the variety can play, even if all the mysteries in the story were solved.
YK: From here on after, the game is just going to get better. The battle system will also be enjoyable. The feeling of the game will be as close to Kingdom Hearts as possible, but with a few twists.
YY: Also even though the game will be more serious, it will please those that are a fan of Disney. The worlds are prepared with a surprise even though the story is serious. I think the mixture of disney with this will be interesting.


By the way, this game was announced at the same time as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Coded. Were you anxious?
YY: We were very anxious about everything, the system and the story. I thought it was considerate through the PV that was shown at the Tokyo Game Show.
TN: This game will have to wait sadly, however we also need to think about the sales in the end.

ill tell you what its all about later

I am going to draw together all the related points, based on known facts and not speculation. and asterik (*) denotes speculative thought.

1. Ven's hair style does indeed look like Xehonart/Nobody Xehanort from as seen in KH2. It is also like the one who called himself Ansem in KH1, though that was a heartless.

*As components of a once whole person, did the Nobody and heartless versions really look like the whole person they were once a part of, and was that person really once known as Xehanort?*

2. Terra obviously intentionally looks hella/exactly like Roxas.

*This means they are trying to draw connections to nobodys in the future of KH. In other words, the question is why do the nobodies of characters in KH2 look like whole/complete people from the past?*

3. Master Xehanort (assuming that is the old guy) physically looks less like the future nobody and heartless counterparts, who are thought to have once been Xehanort, than Ven does in some ways. However, the attire Master X wears is exactly like the heartless X, and his skin complection and eyes do match both heartles X and nobody X.

4. Master X's apprentice (assuming this is the guy in the red and black duds) wears clothing very much like Riku's when he was posessed by the darkness/heartless/"Ansem" in KH1.

*Perhaps this means that like Riku, the apprentice has also dipped far into the darkness, or maybe there is an even deeper connection...*

5. *I think the master over Ven, Aqua, and terra is either Mickey or the "real Ansem" from KH2. Most likely "real Ansem".

Nice theories but Ven's hair looks nothing like Xehanort or his nobody or heartless form. It looks most like Roxas.

Terra looks hella nothing like Roxas. His hair does resemble Xehanort though.

Yeah, you probably realized this but you confused Ven and Terra but still nice speculation and I was just poking fun. *poke poke*

didnt it say in that interview that kluck posted that master xehanort's apprentice in the video was a type of creature that came before heartless and nobodies?
also its already known that master xehanort (bald guy)is the terra, ven and aqua's master
he goes missing and the game is about the 3 of them going to search for him
my guess is he goes missing cuz he joins (darth vader breathing) the darkside!

new info ven is roxas!!!
this is a new image from birth by sleep not 365/2 day

look at the cloths the wristband and the jacket and look at the monsters not nobodys not heartless a new enimey think back to thelibary in the old mansion there were 3 rings one with the heartless symbol and another with the nobody symbol.

roxas must be ven

In the series, the keyblade is the weapon of the main character Sora that became the key to rescuing the world. The leading role of this work is the people who have ever at one time held this weapon in their hand. The new battle system stirs the imagination and makes you want to experience the new Kingdom Hearts game.

Why these two? (1st&2nd screen)

The witch Malecifent and the key blade wielder Terra act together! Is it for the safety of the Princess Aurora?

The battles evolve more! (3rd, 4th, 5th&6th screen)

Differing from the former series largely, there is no concept of MP. After a fixed time elapses, the skill and the magic become usable again. In addition, when you attack, the "COMMAND" gauge rises. Then when this accumulates, an additional command to use a powerful attack appears. With Terra and Ven, pay attention to the differences in this battle system!

The COMMAND gauge rises when I attack it with ○ and △ button.When the thunder part is red, it is impossible to use while charging.When you stop attacking, the COMMAND gauge will decrease. In addition, you can set the △ button skill.In order to efficiently continue to attack, you'll probably keep being able to customize.

Decide an additional command!

Terra has exclusive use of the "FATAL MODE". In this mode the gauge rises when you move around and constantly use the additional skills. And an additional command appears when the FATAL MODE gauge becomes MAX. Connecting it with a powerful finish move, you scatter the enemy.

niec find, but that scan does havent very big pictures in it, so i cannot see the smile you are talking about.

This game just keeps getting better and better

I wish they revealed more about the game. I still feel In the dark about both new games. No plot has been revealed and very vague gameplay information too. It's rare that info comes out too. I'm gettin real impatient.

quote kluck

new info ven is roxas!!!

People still think ven is roxas, this is getting old.

VEN... IS... NOT... ROXAS... PERIOD! (exclamation )

so its a coicidence that roxas and ven look the same wear the same cloths and have the same eyecoloure and have the same haircut?

go to google, type Nomura interview Birth By Sleep

Nomura states ALL 3 knights are ALL NEW characters. He did say that some if not all 3 of them have connections to previous characters. I am not doubting the fact they like identical, I am just reminding you that Nomura has already stated this.
