As expected, the weeks following a major conference such as the Square Enix DKΣ3713 Private Party 2008 are a time of new images and information as news outlets finally get to tell us all what was there. Today's update comprises four screenshots from every single one of the upcoming Kingdom Hearts projects - Coded for mobile phones, 358/2 Days for the Nintendo DS, and Birth By Sleep for the Sony PlayStation Portable (or PSP).

The Coded pictures are all set in areas of Traverse Town that should be familiar to players of the original Kingdom Hearts game, and all feature a combination of Shadow Heartless as well as the mysterious debug blocks that are the focus of this game. One particular screenshot shows Sora actually fighting Shadows, where it appears that using directional input buttons allows him to combo his physical attacks together.


The 358/2 Days screenshots are a mixture of in-game quality as well as pre-rendered cutscene quality (which is basically that of the normal Kingdom Hearts series), with us being able to see a shot of Axel and Roxas talking on the Clocktower in Twilight Town, a blindfolded Riku walking away from new Organisation member Xion crouched on the floor, Axel - apparently standing near the Mansion in Twilight Town due to the scenery behind him - looking threatning whilst holding a weapon pointed towards the screen, and finally a battle screenshot where we can see Xaldin and Roxas fighting together on the upper screen, with a map and basic information on the lower screen.


Finally the Birth by Sleep screenshots also show a mixture of cutscenes and battles, only all these would appear to be running from the in-game engine. Our first screenshot shows a conversation between Aqua and Terra, with the second showing Ven (or Ventus to be proper) with one of the Cinderella mice (Jaq) behind him. The last two screenshots are of Terra battling on a bridge leading towards a castle visible in the background which would appear to be that of Sleeping Beauty. These battle screenshots show that at least one of Terra's abilities allow you to lock-on to multiple targets at once for a "Shootlock."


I think its nice to finally have a new batch of such good screenshots for all the upcoming Kingdom Hearts games, and they allow us to see how they're all evolving and developing.

Damn you Axel screens, stop making me lust after KH again!

mmmmmmmaxel

*strokes*

But yus, Axel is enough to make anyone want to play Kingdom Hearts. I'm also liking Aqua's clothing. Strange thing to admit to, but meh.

Her clothes look like they belong in a FF not KH to me lol

Great new screenshots! :]

I also love Aqua's outfit and it kind of resembles Yuna's FFX outfit. The FFX by the arm thingys. I love her character design. (It is a lot nicer then Kairi's KH2 design blehhh)

It is too much like yuna's i think they should make somthing more original

I'd love to see a few tweaks to aqua's outfit, and then I'd love her. Still, I love her general outfit right now anyways. The arm cover things... are nice.

Coded looks... kinda bad. yes, I know its for a cell, but still.

I have mixed feelings towards Aqua's attire, (first screenshot we have of her! Yay~!) it doesn't look fit for battle.

Well she's supposed to be the "mage" of the 3. And mages always have clothes that are more robe kinds of things, not armor. Maybe thats why.

by the looks of things i'm guessing that in cinderella your the size of the mice

I thought I was the only one who knew his full name:

Ventus isn't his name either:

It was

Ventusaria.

Haha I'm kinda new here..but anyways.
They will have a English version of this...rightttt?

we're sure of it... of course its quite typical that it takes a few months to be translated and come overseas, but it eventually gets here. Except for Final Mixes, but thats a different story.

and that is the thing that makes me mad they should send final mixes but there holding out on us

you know.. there's a site called ebay, and you can just buy them there for cheap@@@@@

omg who knew

If you really want the game, then buy it. And Swap magic... I did that, and it works perfect!

yea i know that i saw at ebay and amazon but even if i did get it i wouldn't be able to understand what it is sayin

Yea, I knew that's what you meant when you said they left us out. Who knows...
They may release the Final Mix games in english someday.

Well practically the whole game is just the same thing as the english ones, just added material. I'm sure it's not too hard to play the game just by memory and remembering what to do. That's what I did when I played my Final Mix's. And when I forgot I just looked up a guide for it and read what to do.

Hope so.. I have the game already.. but it would be so fun to hear larxene in english ;p But, hasn´t the website WithTheWill said that Kingdom hearts Re: Chain of memories and maybe Final mix is going to come to America?

I have no idea, but I've heard that it's posible...
By the way, nice update Tony!

i guess i'll wait and see if it comes out in english but learning how to speak,write, and read japanese is not a bad idea ether

Yeah idk dude ignore my post

i like what they did with the clothing for aqua i dont know why im say this she looks very hot

hmm i saw another screenshot on that were terra and malificent. can it be that there are the worlds of the princesses of heart? i think so.

yeah it looks Final Fantasy'ish.


But yes there are ^

Edit: Oh gf thought this was the other topic L
