Mysterious Figure 353 Posted September 15, 2015 Damn this is awesome! I'm actually most interested in the Unchained X special story, will they reveal the traitor in that, or the actual Unchained X game? 1 PrinceNoctis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bartholomew W 67 Posted September 15, 2015 So is birth by sleep 0.2 the same game as birth by sleep volume 2? 1 PrinceNoctis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHAZOW 269 Posted September 15, 2015 It will have KH: DDD HD, Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A Fragmentary Passage-. Wow, Volume 2, who would have expected that...It was said it will come to Playstation 4 but no mention of Playstation 3 or other consoles. 3 AlixtheMagi13, DaxovanHearts and Master BJ reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tothecikpah 230 Posted September 15, 2015 the announcement of 2.8 shows us some prediction of release date for ffxv and kh3 so here is my 90% sure prediction ffxv winter 2016 kh3 spring 2017 ff7 remake winter 2017 where 2.8 will be around early 2016 2 PrinceNoctis and AlixtheMagi13 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atheist123 583 Posted September 15, 2015 So is birth by sleep 0.2 the same game as birth by sleep volume 2? It probably has the same story but is likely just a short 1-2 hour game. 1 PrinceNoctis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyEmerald 73 Posted September 15, 2015 2.9 was probably just a typo That's what I was thinking. Now if it was 2.75 or something like that then I would say we were trolled. Hmm, could the .8 hint at the distance in time between at least two of the games and III? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlankShell 638 Posted September 15, 2015 So was the "leak" actually legit at all? No PS3 announcement... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sagman12PC 280 Posted September 15, 2015 We officially have our KH game for 2016. This all but confirms a 2017 release for KH3; there was no way KH3 was gonna release alongside FFXV in the same year. Gonna Pre-Order this when a release date is given 1 PrinceNoctis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sagman12PC 280 Posted September 15, 2015 KH2.8 2016 KH3 2017 No way SE was gonna release KH3 in the same year as FFXV. Its not a good move business-wise. Anyways im glad this is happening; many of us never got a chance to play DDD and now that most of us have PS4's we can enjoy it for the first time in HD; 3DS controls are probably simulated with the touchpad. 2.8 probably also has a secret leading up to KH3 if i was a betting man i'd say it has a KH3 demo 1 PrinceNoctis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ven983 490 Posted September 15, 2015 After all these years of believing that Volume 2 would only happen in my wildest dreams, it is finally here, and to see my favorite character (Aqua) in those beautiful new graphics is a cherry on top of it all. Very excited about this collection as it seems to be very lore driven which I love! 2 MickeyTheMick and PrinceNoctis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
