Nomura: It

[baylaust 2,531]

So, what it boils down to is that we get Vanitas's Keyblade for defeating his Sentiment, and Re: Coded will have a secret ending.

[Master Keeper 687]

Cool !!!! cant wait !!!!!

[heartless101 83]

OMG I SHALL DEFEAT THE SENTIMENT MWHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA 8D

[Reversal 53]

So, what it boils down to is that we get Vanitas's Keyblade for defeating his Sentiment, and Re: Coded will have a secret ending.

 

And it confirms the secret boss as canon, saying how it's to BBS as the Lingering Sentiment is to KH2FM. It first gives you the impression that it can't happen at that particular point in the story, but it actually happens.

 

And some VA stuff about Mark Hamill and Leonard Nimoy, which is always interesting.

[heartless101 83]

I wonder how powerful Vanitas' keyblade is gonna be...

[Reversal 53]

I wonder how powerful Vanitas' keyblade is gonna be...

 

Agreed, though I'm also interested in the name.

[heartless101 83]

yah I'm quite interested to find out what the name of the keyblade is

[Reversal 53]

It was kinda disappointing to find out that in a 600 page Ultimania, the names of his, Xehanort's, and Eraqus' Keyblades were never mentioned.

[Space Cowboy 1,392]

I KNEW IT!

 

The boss is canon. That's all I've been looking for. Now just to find out exactly what it is >_>

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Makes me wish I had a PSP. (Too bad I am saving for a 3DS) BBS sounds like it is gonna be really fun/

[Kishira 2,854]

So....does that mean we'll get to fight Vanitas Sentiment along with this mystery boss? And what did he mean that we'll meet it twice? @w@?

[Reversal 53]

So....does that mean we'll get to fight Vanitas Sentiment along with this mystery boss? And what did he mean that we'll meet it twice? @w@?

 

Yeah, VS will not be removed. I don't even know how that rumor started :

 

I guess he means either you meet it at two points in the story, or you'll be able to fight him with two characters. I vote for the latter.

[Dawn 0]

I'm only interested in the story since I already played the japanese version. (Not far enough to reach V's S )

[Kishira 2,854]

Ah, ok. Thank you for clerafying. And I'm hoping all three can go against that new boss!

[King Riku 2,063]

Yesssssssssssss I can't wait.

 

I want Vanitas' keyblade. Badlyyyyyyyyyyyy.

[roxas is da one 1]

oooh vanitas keyblade maybe way to darkness or darkness eater or soul to dawn! >.< ouch mu head hurts D:

[BirthByVen15 0]

ok so it says they're wont be a new secret ending but RE:coded will have one. does that mean BBS wont have a secret ending at all or it'll have the one the japannesse version has just in english..

[Reversal 53]

ok so it says they're wont be a new secret ending but RE:coded will have one. does that mean BBS wont have a secret ending at all or it'll have the one the japannesse version has just in english..

 

Well, the JP secret ending certainly isn't new :

 

No cutscenes are being removed from the game. However, some of them are being redone, and some are being added to make the story easier to understand. Imo, it was perfectly fine the way it was before, but I'm not complaining.

[Tsunamo 62]

Well, at least we get a better reward for beating Vantias Sentiment. I'm curious as to where and when the secret boss will be encountered a second time. Thanks for posting the translation, Reversal.

I'd imagine they'd keep the original and add Engish voice acting to it, they have no reason to remove it anyway.

[heartless101 83]

I must get Vanitas' keyblade

[SeighartX 0]

awsome wow we really got it good for our BBS I guess it was worth the wait and btw is megaflare really that strong of a move.

[Reversal 53]

awsome wow we really got it good for our BBS I guess it was worth the wait and btw is megaflare really that strong of a move.

 

It was pretty broken, so I'm glad they nerfed it. It was like Costly Punch in Crisis Core; takes all the fun out of the battle :

Ah I see well that's good it got nerfed I dislike OP and broken moves they really ruin the fun of the game

[baylaust 2,531]

Q: Is the new character also involved with the story?

N: As with the Lingering Sentiment, at the time of KHBBS I can't reveal that.

So, is that pretty much code for "Yeah it is, but I don't want you to know that yet"?
