No yeah, I'm not saying 2.9 is a real thing, i just think its gonna be the demo nothing inportant just the demo, but you know how in Kingdom Hearts they love to name everything, so tey are gonna call the demo that, but it's not an actual game, just the demo

You misinterpreted my words! I was thinking that 2.9 might've been a typo!

Jaja All i know is that i want this and i feel like a little kid just waiting for kh3 !!

Here is the trailer in full HD . Do you guys think that KH BBS 0.2 will introduce and debut the new game mechanics for Kingdom Hearts 3 if it is a playable option. Would love to hear your guys thoughts on this.

im just confused because in the leak it mentioned it would be for both ps3 and ps4. maybe they changed their minds? maybe that was a mistake and this is the game mentioned in the leak and they just changed the number for some reason maybe? idk i just think 2.8 is a really random number. there's a very slim chance that 2.9 might be a real thing, but probably not.

Has anyone payed attention to what one of the foretellers is saying? 

 

I could gather:

All the world still hasn't

Master of Masters - the future something

Also that future - something

Now the story of us 6 apprentices that became 5 will be revealed

Something Future something

 

Book of prophecies heavily implied as well

 

This situation with the BBS volume 2 - it's the same one that we were told about back in 2011 when BBS FM came out and everyone went crazy waiting for a game like this for the Vita. Thankfully it's coming out now :D

I'm so glad my bae, Aqua, can finally have her story told in HD. We have been waiting for almost 10+ years. We can wait a little more for kh3. We want kh3 to be the best game and a excellent ending to the xehanory saga. Come on and take a seat on the patience train.

"DDD HD will never be a thing."

Exactly hahaha. Oh god, I still am so hyped. Even though I was expecting a KHx "remake" and BBS V2. But I was expecting those AFTER KH3 not before! This is soooo soooo sooo good. <3

Wait did it say Square Enix NA is going to release a trailer for 2.8 on September 17th? I wonder if it will be English voiced or if it will just be the trailer we where shown but a little more official

Now I wonder if DDDHD will have something new like new bosses.

And since X Back Cover is going to be the whole of Unchained, do you think the story of Unchained will end next year?

Should I pull out the quotes when people told me otherwise last year that it wouldn't happen. I want people to eat crow

"DDD HD will never be a thing."

I can't tell you how many times people told me that and how many times I told them it's coming with the clear hints they had given.

 

This trailer just rubs it ALL in their faces.

KH 2.9 was more logical final road to KH3.

The most reason why it was not for PS3 is probably of KHX.

it's actually because of KH 0.2 BBS A Fragmentary Passage. It is running on the engine that kh3 is running on.

It will be more easier for them to make it same style as BBS.

They are sure that people will have then a PS4 ready for KH3.
