Quote from http://www.sleepygamers.com/kingdom-hearts-3-speculation/ Tetsuya Nomura has made it clear that he has not even began development of Kingdom Hearts 3. However, ideas are being laid on the table, and Square Enix will be sure to tease us with information maybe in the next Tokyo Game Show, so let the speculation begin. Kingdom Hearts 3 is the term that many fans of the series declare will be the next major console release. A lot of smaller releases have been made on the PSP and DS consoles, but a lot of us are disappointed in that because we want to play this beloved video game on a console with power. It seems that Square Enix is just trying to expand its market, and raise the audience of the game before actually coming out with what we call the true release, that will most likely be highly anticipated and requested by many video gamers all over.But a lot of details are scarce. Knowing that they have been releasing the Kingdom Hearts series on a multitude of consoles, will the game still be loyal to the Sony and the PlayStation 3, or will it be a multiplatform game? What sort of features will the game hone and how will the story progress as of now? Well, to understand the storyline of this game, you will need to play pretty much every game in the series. This game is an amalgam of Final Fantasy and Disney characters in one. The story line is an enjoyable one, to say the least, and it manages to capture your attention and tug on your heart as you make your way through this epic. There are five games worth playing in this series so far, to my count. That would be Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, birth by sleep, chain of memories, and 358/2 days, not necessarily in the order. The story line of all of these video games intertwine into one another, so just hopping into a random game in this series may leave you lost and constantly questioning why something has come to be. Sora, Donald and Goofy Many are speculating that the new console game will not even involve the original cast of characters, being Sora, Riku, Kairi, Goofy, Donald and Mickey. As seen in the new games that have been released in the series, a new set of characters have been introduced, during the times of the Keyblade War. So who knows who you may play as this time around, maybe the two casts of characters will meet up in the game. The whole set up of the story leaves little room for speculation, because a jump in the time line is very possible. So in terms of story, this will be a waiting game. However, for in game mechanics, you can be sure that there is a large area for speculation available. The drive system was an interesting and welcome addition into the franchise, but will this be kept in the next major installment to come? It has to fit into the context of the game, so I am not that sure if they will keep the exact same drive system. I personally speculate that they will some how incorporate the drive system into KH3, but will describe and present it in a different manner. This certainly is not a bad thing, since the drive system was an interesting thing, especially when you would turn into dark Sora. As for the difficulty of the game, that will and must get an upgrade. A major complaint of Kingdom Hearts 2 is that it became nothing more than a button masher. You could close your eyes and spam the attack button and come out unscathed in some parts of the game, which is pretty disappointing. If they raise the difficulty just a bit, they will most likely please a large portion of the fan base while pleasing the reviewers and critiques. Kingdom Hearts 2 The graphics will be greatly enhanced no doubt. The last major Kingdom Hearts game made its appearance on the PlayStation 2, last generation. With all the power that the PlayStation 3 has to offer now, Square Enix and Tetsuya Nomura will most certainly make great use of the power that this console offers. I am actually sure that a lot of the features that this game may have will be done simply because the console has the power to, which is a great thing. Also, if this becomes a PS3 exclusive, then the large amount of space offered by the Blu-Ray disc would be a great thing to take advantage of, and you would be given a large story line experience. There is some speculation about multiplayer capabilities being involved within Kingdom Hearts 3. To be honest, I am not sure how feasible this speculation is. For the simple fact that every game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise has stayed a single player campaign game to date, so while it is open to change, I can not really see it happening. There is not much room for a multiplayer mode in a KH game, simply because it is not a shooting game or war game where you can easily pose yourself against an enemy team. Some think that Square Enix may throw in a Heartless vs. Keyblade master (deathmatch) mode, or a survival mode, to allow for some multiplayer abilities. The deathmatch mode does sound a bit plausible, all you would have to do is offer multiple keyblade masters for the player to choose, and give a variety of heartless to choose for the others to choose. The only problem with this is that the fighting system in Kingdom Hearts 2, most likely to be adapted to Kingdom Hearts 3, does not really suit a multiplayer fighting game. So while it is possible that the inclusion of multiplayer will be there, it is highly doubtful. DLC is something that I, and I am sure many others, will look forward to with this game. Square Enix will most likely have great incentive towards providing downloadable content for this game, for the sheer popularity and positive reception of this upcoming game. So you may be able to look forward to add on chapters of the story line or even custom character skins and more. ------------------------------ I found this interesting. Discuss?

You mean PS2?

Quote from http://forums.khinsider.com/future-kingdom-hearts/152320-speculation-kingdom-hearts-3d-could-possible.html Everyone in the fan based community are questioning the new 3DS title, but what if the answer is within Sora's pod? I was thinking about it...and I asked myself "what else could Nomura base this story on?" Wouldn't it be cool if he was showing what Sora was seeing as he was gaining his memories back?We know what went on with the organization, but maybe Nomura wanted us to take a journey in a 3D title to see how his memories were being brought back...or even in that case "affected". What we know is that Xion was messing with his memories because of her existence. Could it be that he got these dreams from the fact that his nobody and replica clashed? What if he was trying to gain his memories, but because of Xion they were getting distracted. He could've been seeing scattered pieces of memories as Xion was moving around, which would make sense to why he saw himself and Riku from Kingdom Hearts 1.So overall, he couldn't awaken until Xion and Roxas returned. Which means, he could've been seeing disturbing memories that were breaking (Ex: Sora falling from the sky). As the memories were breaking, maybe he learns something else from those dreams, which opens the door for the next title. ------- Quote Ends Just something I found that might be interesting. Discuss?

8 more days guys! Man its going to be beast! So out of curiosity, how many people have received their pre-ordered copy of the Guide?

What's the Collector's Edition?

Awesome it is! Birth by Sleep is getting the popularity it deserves! I can probably go through each of my GameInformers I have and see at least one page about Bith by Sleep. Its geting really popular ill tell you. And I have mine pre-ordered to and the guide! Got them both yesterday, right before the guide comes out. Phew.

I know after the release of the game, you can buy the guide, and I think you cn buy it now as well since its the 30th, but not 100 percent sure if you can get it now unless you pre-ordered it until the release of the game... Of course if you didn't pre-order it, and can't buy it til the release, and you are that desperate you can always find it on Ebay, Craigslist, Amazon, etc by now. Its been a few hours since its release. But by the time you actually get it in the mail, it'll be eithier the 7th, or past it.

I got my September 2010 Issue of GameInformer in the mail today, and on page 11, its a page about BBS. ----------------- There's a picture. ----------------- At the top of the page, there is the Disney and SQUARE ENIX logos and a keyblade in the middle of Disney and Square Enix logos. Then the words: Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. In the Top row (left to right), there is Tinker Bell, Snow white, Cinderella, and Aurora. In the Middle row (left to right), there is Aqua, Ventus, and Terra. In the Bottom row, there is just Mickey, in his EPIC LEGIT outfit. Extremely cool. A Heart is under all the characters shown. ----------------- Ill post pics later, my phone's camera isn't working right now Then there is also a short summary at the bottom of the page. ----------------- DESTINY IS NEVER LEFT TO CHANCE. Play as Terra, Ventus, and Aqua - three friends with a common dream who find themselves in the middle of a crisis affecting worlds far beyond their own. Their destinies will unfold across memorable Disney worlds in three intertwining stories. Secrets will be unraveled and friendships will be tested. The Kingdom Hearts saga starts here. ----------------- On the left of the summary, there is a picture of Ventus and Tinker Bell. On the right of the summary, there is a picture of Ventus, Aqua, and Terra fighting together against Trinity Armor. At the bottom of the page its just the normal details. E10+ for Fantasy Violence and Mild Suggestive Themes. The PSP symbol, and the Playstation symbol, the Disney logo, the North America site, if you do not know what it is, its http://na.square-enix.com/khbbs. Then there's the SQUARE ENIX logo, and the copyrights.

I just pre-ordered my guide and game yesterday so boy was I lucky. I wouldn't have been able to pre-order the guide today. Bur I bought it yesteday, but won't be able to get it until eithie next week or the week after that! But I am positive that the Gamestop I bought from will not run out since barely anyone likes Kingdom Hearts will my dad lives, since I live with my mom and he got it. I think I may have been the only one, who pre ordered BBS in my dad's city. Maybe a few others. We'll hopefully! Can't wait! Man only 8 days.

Most people believe that Birth by Sleep will not be coming to PSN Store as a download. Well these were just rumors until now. Square Enix has confirmed that BbS will not be coming to PSN. Well don't take my word. Take the truth's word. Here is the quote. Quote from Joystiq. -------------------------------------------------- Late last year, we heard a pretty troubling rumor about Square Enix's first keybladed outing on the PSP, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep -- that the game wouldn't get a downloadable version on the PSN, thereby preventing any PSP Go owners from getting their hands on it. It's almost nine months later, and Square has finally commented on the rumor, confirming to IGN that "Square Enix, Inc. currently has no plans to release Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep through the PlayStation Store."Considering Birth By Sleep is one of the highest-profile releases on the platform in some time, this is an awfully disheartening turn of events for owners of the download-only handheld. We've contacted Sony and Square Enix to find out the reason behind the title's absence from the PSN. ------------------------------------------------ The link is here: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/28/kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-not-coming-to-psn/

I was actually extremely excited, more than BbS. Mostly because it was going to have each ORG Member in it, and the trailers looked great! I pre-ordered mine and got it the first day as well. But BbS, I'm probably the only one going to say this... I'm not too excited for. Still excited but really not much.

Not sure. I'm also gonna pre-order that, but not for the guide itself but for the art inside the guide since Ill have no troble beating it since the JAP one was no big deal.

I still need to preorder it!!! Oh no! I hope there is still some left!

Have not played KH 2 FM so don't know how hard LS is. Have not played KH FM so don't know how hard Xemnas is. Played BBS and VS is hard!

Yea it is. But I don't mind since I already have a psp and am preordering bbs next week!

http://pspmedia.ign.com/psp/image/article/104/1046075/special-psp-for-kingdom-hearts-in-japan-20091117082539473-000.jpg There's the link to the japanese one. I don't think NA is getting it or other countries but not sure. Hope this helped!

I told everyone Nomura made a twitter account.I posted a thread here about it but no one believed me... No there's prrof! Lol.

Nice find!

Oh ok DChuich. Sorry about that.

Great piece! I was your first view!!! Lol. Do I need to be signed in for the view to count?

Well people say no but remember. They put up the trailer on the playstation store as a download. Plus we have seen disney on the store before with games like prince of persia. And we've seen square on the store with ganes like FF7, and FF8. So people say no, but if you actually think about it and look into it and which games have been on the store, there is a possability.

Hmm. Ok then. We'll your only in each world for a short time period with the acception of Neverland, Deep Space, Keyblade Graveyard, and Radiant Garden. I mean by gameplay wise in each world.

Wow Ven. Chill.

In Aqua's Character Section, I found some spelling errors. --------------- At the beggining of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Aqua is one of Master Eraqus' three apprentices. She attemps to take the "Master Qualification Exam", in order to become a Keyblade master. --------------- Beginning was misspelled. Attempts was misspelled. Erauqs was misspelled. -------------------------------------------------- In each organization member's profiles, like Axel and Demyx and any future members that get completed, when you put during which he/she is destroyed, they aren't technically destroyed. Just faded into darkness. So you might want to change Axel's and Demyx's to something like in which he faded. -------------------------------------------------- In Axel's Character Section I found some things that didn't make sense how they were written. -------------------------------------------------- In Chain of Memories, Axel works for two groups in Castle Oblivion. The first, including Marluxia and Larxene, are working to, using Sora, take over Organization XIII. ----------------- Where it says the first, including Marluxia and Larxene, are working to, using Sora, take over the Organization XIII. This didn't really make sense how you put it. It should be something like: ---------------- The first group he worked with included Marluxia and Larxene, who were working to use Namine to manipulate Sora's memories to take over Organization XIII. -------------------------------------------------- Axel fights with Roxas in the basement of the simulated Twilight Town, and he loses the fight. Riku then has a discussion with Axel where Axel is trusted to protect Namin

Lol thanks. My bad. I get it mixed up.
