New final Japanese trailer for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue released; more announcements coming tomorrow


Aquaberry

Update: Utada Hikaru's official website featured Youtube links to the North American version of the latest Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue trailer. It also included links for other countries, such as the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.

 

The links led to Youtube videos that were unavailable to view at the time.

 

The links have since been taken down.

 

The original article follows.

 

A final Japanese trailer for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue has just been released, announced by series director Tetsuya Nomura on Twitter. In the tweet, he mentions that more news will be coming tomorrow at noon, Japan time, as he will have "something else more to say", as translated by goldpanner. A few hours before this announcement, he had tweeted a screenshot from Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ featuring Cinderella, alluding to the announcement of this trailer.

 

This new trailer features new cutscenes and gameplay from the KH2.8 collection, including brand new gameplay between Aqua and King Mickey in Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A Fragmentary Passage-, and a customization feature for Aqua. The trailer also features Aqua and Mickey in Destiny Islands, possibly still within the Dark World.

An interesting detail is also present in the trailer. Last month, we covered a Weekly Shonen Jump scan in which Ventus had a slightly different outfit from what was seen in previous games. However, Ventus is in both his normal outfit and this new outfit at different points in this trailer.

The trailer also features "Hikari -Ray of Hope MIX-", remixed by PUNPEE, which will be available on iTunes Japan on January 11, 2017, along with other remixes of "Hikari" and "Simple and Clean". You can watch the trailer below.

 

Thanks to Twitter user @xenosaga7, we've got translations for the Main Menu in Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A Fragmentary Passage- shown in the trailers. You can read those below.

 

So the main menu says

 

-Challenge

-decoration

-customization

-story

-config

-game help

 

YouTube User Keytotruth has added English and Spanish subtitles to the trailer. You can watch the trailer with subs below by clicking the closed caption button.

There are still no updates on when the English version of the trailer will be released.

 

 

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue releases on the PlayStation 4 in Japan on January 12, 2017, and worldwide on January 24, 2017.

Did Kairi??? Speak??? I was unsure the writers remembered she could do that.

 

BUT OH MY GOD, SORA IN THE END!! Terra vs Terra-Xehanort was a pretty good shot too, but wow am I excited to Back Cover. Actual fight scenes! And I love Ava's Keyblade so much, even the summoning animation she has looks beautiful.

 

And I guess this answers the question of whether KH3 will have customization.

Riku is holding suitcases.

 

Those suitcases clearly contains "A Dummy's Guide to Kingdom Hearts!".

 

More importantly though, I'm surprised that this was released? was this expected?

I'm more concerned about the amount of suitcases in this trailer. xD Did Nomura develop a new fetish?

 

Maybe the trailer was intended to be at Jump Festa but decided to release it early

Wow great trailer. Didn't think it was possible to hype the game up any more. Time to do the usual "watch over and over until the hype subsides" I do with the trailers. Really excited with the customization in 0.2, hopefully it means that it'll also come to KH3. And also very curious about the box the person in the black coat was dragging a 2:08.

So we can customize Aqua and that will probably show up as well in Kingdom Hearts 3.  And oh my lord they go to Destiny Islands in the realm of darkness so 0.2 takes place during Kingdom Hearts.  Well I guess that was to be expected since Mickey dose get the Kingdom Key D and it looks like Mickey joins your party that's great, I'm looking forward to seeing why Mickey left her behind or what happend that she had to get left behind  Oh my lord it's coming out in like a month I'm so excited for that and Sora at the end oh my lord and Kairi will talk yes thank you just ah I can't wait for the english version of this trailer hopefully we will get it in a few days.

 

Edit: and it looks like Mickey losses his cloths as well, which I guess makes scenes since he is in his like default Mickey Mouse outfit at the end of Kingdom Hearts and we see him and Riku meeting from Mickeys side this time, oh god why can't this game come out sooner

OMG! I want this game so freaking bad! I need a PS4 first! 

 

But I think I saw the "so-called" final form of the Devil's Wave. And the Kingdom Key D!

I was right if it's going there! I made a forum post I think a year ago, saying that 0.2 was going to go directly to the first game. If it's going there! 

 

I need to look at this at those fast bits again in slomo! (From what I've saw)That's just odd that Luxu? (I doubt the MoM) is draging some box at (by what it looks like) the freaking Keyblade Graveyard! The doggone Keyblade War must've came and went and he's packing it up and leaving!

Sora at the very end that could be kh3 for all we know! Isn't 2.8 like the beginning of kh3? Or a very short Bridge into it?

And holy crap customizable accessories that just means it's going to be in kh3 too! YOOO!

All those Yen Sid Tower scenes could be from the ending of 0.2. You can see Riku with his blue luggage and Mickey holding a pink luggage (assumably for Kairi) and then Sora comes in like "WAZZAP?"

 

Basically the end of 2.8 will be like the day before KH3 begins. They're given their new outfits, they go home and try them on. Next day, they head back to Yen Sid's to train together, thus the beginning of KH3 :)
