Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Details

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

The new issue of Famitsu will have more details on Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the prequel to the series that was announced at last week TGS 2007. IGN has translated most of the content, here are the highlights.

As mentioned earlier, there will be three all new characters, two of them are Venn and Terra, with the third yet to be revealed. It’s good to know that the game has been in development for quite a while (though it probably will be the last to see release among the three announced titles), and some of the plots were revealed in the Japan only Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. Another exciting detail is that “The game has three scenarios, each told from the perspective of one of the main characters”, the developers promised that it will something really cool. On to the gameplay, it will be quite similar to previous Kingdom Hearts titles but again, the developers promised some new elements. Multiplayer via the ad hoc mode is in the plan as well. Birth by Sleep looks like too far away for now, but we do have something called Dissidia: Final Fantasy to look forward to very soon. Check out IGN for more details.

    No date yet for Birth by Sleep. As for KH3, it wasn’t even officially announced, so gotta wait for that.

    I´m happy when we can buy it here in germany but it will be for the ps³ and this PStation³ is to expensive for me.
    So I will be worry too, because I can´t buy it.

    @18
    There are other dead people around the KH universe too, like Sephiroth and Aeris (Aerith for USA)
    But yeh it does look like Zack, hope it is!

    @most people
    I seriously doubt that is Zack, I mean, come on! It looks “like” him, but if it was him it would look “exactly like” him. Has anyone here seen the Birth By Sleep video?.. Gee doesn’t that look more like one of the new characters? oh boy, who’d have thought!? :O
    Also, since when has any FF characters ever wielded keyblades? Use your heads people!
