The latest issue of Famitsu Weekly contains a 4-page spread on Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, featuring new renders and screenshots from the game that show off cinematic scenes and new and returning gameplay elements.

 

New images include gameplay images from Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage. The article features the costume customizations of Aqua, including a new pattern for her outfit. Aqua is also seen fighting against Darksides in the Enchanted Dominion area of the Dark World. Some of the screenshots were previewed online yesterday on the Famitsu website. Previous Weekly Shonen Jump screenshots of Aqua performing the magic-activated combo "Thundagun", and the finishing attack with Mickey for the "Wayfinder" Command Style at Destiny Islands, are also shown.

 

Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover is also featured. A new CG image and render of Ephemer and the Master of Master's 6th apprentice (Luxu) holding Master Xehanort's Keyblade are also available. A close-up of Ephemer in a cinematic scene is also shown. Some of the new cinematic screenshots extend from the scenes shown in the final trailer for KH2.8. For instance, Master Ava and Master Gula are shown looking at a sleeping young Chirithy inside a flask. A new screenshot of the Master of Master and Luxu talking is shown. A picture of the five Foretellers in their study is included. The image of Luxu holding Master Xehanort's Keyblade was previously featured in a Famitsu web article.

 

Two in-game trophies for Kingdom Hearts HD Dream Drop Distance HD have been revealed, and Flick Rush seems to be making a comeback to the HD remaster. Gameplay images and renders include the new elephant Dream Eater, as well as another new Dream Eater with the appearance of a Penguin in a hot bath. The elephant Dream Eater is called Beat Poi, a pun on the character Beat from The World Ends WIth You on which its design is based. The penguin Dream Eater is called Yuagari Penguin, which translates to "Spa Penguin."

You can view scans of the feature below. Translations will be coming soon.

 

 

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.

 

Are you liking the new KHχ BC screenshots and renders of Ephemera and Luxu? Will you be playing Flick Rush and getting trophies on KH HD DDD? Let us know below!

I'm loving Ephemer(a)'s render  :smile: though I'm still wondering when or even if there will be any Skuld featured in Back Cover. I really want to see Skuld in that beautiful Kingdom Shader and Unreal Engine 4.

Oh snap! Ephemer!

I need to know about the scene when he went back to the Waterway alone, and where has he been. I remember crying when Chirithy was comforting you and the end of X[chi].

Those are in game trophies similar to Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, though they do look like different trophies then from the original Dream Drop Distance so I wonder what you have to do to get those

Ephemer is looking great! Like this character more and more. Just a bit worried about the lack of Skuld... I seriously hope she will also appear in Back Cover.

Skuld will probably appear in Back Cover. Since this is the events of Chi, but through the perspectives of the Foretellers, and Skuld does encounter and speak to Ava and Gula in Chi, she'll most likely appear.

Yeah most likely... Just weird they haven't shown her at all yet xD But I hope you're right!

They have to keep some surprises for the game, honestly, I feel at this point that Square Enix are spoiling more about the game then that's truly necessary...

I'm wondering why in all of the descriptions for 0.2 the ROD is referred as "the Dark World" or "World of Darkness". Did the name get retconned?

No they're all just names for the sam ethign that can be used interchangibly, the Realm of Darkness has also been called World of Darkness, Dark World and Dark Realm in-game

I noticed in one of the 0.2 screenshots that there was a new Thunder-based Heartless that Aqua was fighting. Did anyone else notice this or was it just me?
