No. Answer has always been no. Do we have a game called Another Side, Another Story? Deep Dive? Mmm, no. That isn't to say those titles weren't without meaning. "Birth by Sleep Vol.2" does have meaning: It means the events directly following Birth by Sleep will finally be shown in their proper sequential setting. However.... /theory time: Given what actually takes place in that video, with time rewinding and then happening slightly differently, coupled with Terra's random flashfowards, (and Mysterious Figure who, arguably, isn't canon,) I get the feeling that the Birth by Sleep we saw was not the actual, real version of history and that Xehanort changed one small nearly insignificant detail that would change things drastically in the future, but not change any of his actual plans. My money is on Mickey's level of involvement being the deciding factor that would change history. So, to me, Birth by Sleep Vol.2 could also imply we'll find out what what actually happened. =/ Sorry, it's all just a feeling I've got - Birth by Sleep that we played didn't happen the way it was supposed to. It was uncanny.

I thought long and hard about what happened with Lady Tremaine and her daughters... as a roleplayer, I had to come to some conclusion or another just so I wouldn't break head-canon whenever I let Vanitas loose on any world. That meant patching up/deciding what actually happens. I think the Unversed just go around stirring up trouble, breeding the emotions they like to feed on. But I don't think this means actually eating the people. They aren't Heartless running around taking hearts, y'know? I think, though, they should be able to 'harvest' what they've managed to stirr up in people, and this might cause them to black out and wake up later, not really remembering the incident very clearly. Ala 'I think I was angry... why was I so angry?' Hell, in one roleplay I did Vanitas got so pissed at this person that he personally just ripped all the emotions he could find from her. Now, that doesn't make the victim a Nobody by any means, it'll all grow back, they do still have hearts afterall. It did leave the poor woman pretty blank for a while, though... had no idea what to feel. But with friends around to help, they regrow. (Compare this to how blank Ventus was after Vanitas was taken from him... it took weeks for him to stabilize and be social with Terra and Aqua,) Unversed all seemed based on individual emotions, though. They probably only feed off the type that they are?

Yeah, okay. =/ Except the fact that person who sends me the random chat invites to the off-topic chats nearly every time I got on -is- a moderator. I shouldn't have to tattle moderators to other moderators, if you know what I mean, but yeah, I'll do that from now on.

Well that sounds interesting. Can I get a new Secret Episode just by beating the old Aqua file again? I'm pretty sure I didn't save over it when I got Secret Episode... I'll have to try this out.

As much as I love Lady Koko and the few times we've talked and the fact I stalked her tumblr for a while, I get a lot of random messages to join chat rooms, and as someone else said, 'that's fine' and I can just ignore it if I don't feel like it. 9 times out of 10 I don't feel like it, though. That's not to say it's a bad thing that at least someone is trying to get people to actively communicate. The bad thing is that a lot of times the chats I get pulled into are far, far, far away from anything related to Kingdom Hearts. Generally speaking, that's why 9 times out of 10 I don't bother going. If someone -wanted- to have a lively discussion or philosophical debate about anything Kingdom Hearts related, I'd totally chat with them. I'd love to even have giant group chats, so long as there was a topic at hand, or, heck, even a pre-arranged date and time for people to look towards showing up just -to- chat. =/ But I just can't handle the random chat invites to random conversations that aren't Kingdom Hearts related. There's nothing wrong with it at all, I'm just not interested. A lot of people show up and go 'why the hell am I here?' and wait... and then leave. And from then on they promptly ignore any and all future chat invites. If only the conversation had actually been relevant to the site - they might actually use the chat feature more. ONE MORE THING: I'd love you forever if you found some way to hack/improve the 'handwriting' feature. I've got a tablet and I can draw and send pictures but that thing is kind of rather very glitchy, man.

Don't even bother resisting. It gets to everyone.

. . . . . Well if his mom works in the school.... find some time when she's not busy and you're not busy (maybe before school?) and talk to her about it. Yes, it's his mom, and moms protect their kids, but, she's his MOM. Mom's also punish their kids! Just have a handful of examples ready and if you have to bring a couple other students as witnesses to the behavior, then do so. If she still won't do anything you should try and talk to (as scary as the idea might sound) the principal or superintendent or whatever your school has in charge. Getting to the authority figures first makes a big deal of difference. From the eyes of an adult, usually, kids tends to sort their own problems out. If it's bad enough for them to tug on someone's sleeve for help, clearly, they need to listen.

http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png; Funny thing about this site: Lots of people DO pay attention to introduction posts. Unexpected, right? Have a good time here. This site keeps very good track of new information about the next Kingdom Hearts game as the information shows up. Then we all sit around and chatter excitedly about it! It's also fun to theorize about what will happen. Whatever you're here for I'm sure you'll find lots of it!

Well, Sora's Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D, Mickey's, do represent the Light and Dark realms respectively. Light and Dark together merged to form the X-Blade, but... both are the silver, Sora, normal Kingdom Keys and not one of each. *shrug* So, really, means nothing. Interesting slightly related factoid: That's the insignia of the (Catholic) papacy. Two keys -- one gold, one silver, like Kingdom Key D and Kingdom Key -- crossed and connected at the bottom, representing the power to bind and loose everything in heaven and on earth. Each key has a cutout of a cross in place of its teeth, kind of like the Kingdom Key's crown cutout. The two keys themselves are known as the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.

It was awesome! ...and I want to see an HQ version.

You're asking if we got HD remakes of the early games if they'd be the Final Mix versions? Quite possibly. I'd love those extra boss fights.

http://ssceles.deviantart.com o3o It speaks for itself. Kingdom Hearts stuff, most of it. I update fairly frequently.

Count the letters. I'm pretty sure he's entering the apprentices names along with 'Another' in KH2FM. I've checked this before. >>

Kyaaaaaa. *w* It's funny, because, I actually heard about Xehanort's Keyblade being shown over a day before anyone posted about it on either site, but.... I'd gotten it from a Chinese site and I wasn't entirely sure on how to translate it (because it otherwise covered everything else the same as every other report so far had). I'm glad to see it with my own eyes instead of just reading about it. That's the DTD room, right? >3

Google disagrees. http://www.google.co...h?hl=en&q=kirinIt's a fictional animal. A giraffe was brought into China and they thought it might be what they mythological creature was referring to, but it existed even prior to that as a chimera-like creature. Lion's mane, dragon's face, ox feet, deer shaped body... and its usually covered in chromatic fish scales. Japan's interpretation of it is more deer-like and the original Chinese interpretation is more dragon-like. This is my favorite mythological animal. These things also tend to hop around or step lightly while walking so they don't disturb the ground. I can see how one would make a connection with Riku's creature and the Japanese unicorn-equivalent. It's an easy misinterpretation but I'm absolutely sure this is what the report was referring to.

If you go to the official site and look closely at the banner I sort of see TWO versions of the same symbol. And I think this makes sense now: one is rounded, one is sharp. One is good, one is bad. They're probably even different colors. But they still represent the same 'thing'. It is very interesting that Riku has on him. I do hope he's not taking sides again. Boy should know better than to get wrapped up in things, who knows who you can trust. Especially when they look cute one minute but could eat your face off the next.

I think the misinterpretation of unicorn to deer here comes in the fact Japanese unicorns are qillin/kirin and they are deer unicorn. >_> (THAT said, it looks like it has antlers like a mini elk to me.)

It's white on the back. And it has the new symbol ON IT. What does it mean?

I listened to it for a few seconds and then went 'Oh, yeah, I've heard this': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isv3Ll-PyIU

I've already expressed this notion to my friends, but... perhaps Sora and Riku look the way they do because this is a dream adventure. They would be appearing as a 'perfect' or more 'idealistic' them. (I believe this to be similar to how Xehanort's Heartless chose his looks. He wanted to look that way because it suited him best.) I think the dream-state is a perfect way for them to be tested... and for them to solve important problems at the same time. In dreams, we act more spontaneously with our decision making. We are definitely more pure to our thoughts and choices, truly following our heart, and logic need not get in the way. We can also do things we can't in reality - so long as we remember we are dreaming, we can always be victorious. But if we forget, even when things seem wildly impossible, we will freeze up and we will lose. If dream is the theme, I assure you, nightmares are entirely relevant. -w- I also believe that there's a possibility they could meet sleeping and trapt persons in a dream world. Riku could easily be shown visions of apprentice!Xehanort's past to help figure out what they're dealing with. Dreams take place in the mind. If he can hop into other minds, he really could help Terra wage a mental battle with Master Xehanort. First, yes, the Mastery test. But they'll be picking up the skills they need in the test to do their actual mission to save the world - in the same other reality, the dream reality, where they were tested. This is just what I believe.

If they're nice they'll back us up with a trailer a week or two after the event on the website. I think that's what happened with Birth by Sleep. We had one event where absolutely no one got in to show footage of it but then the site updated.

As a friend just put it... they could be spirit guides for the dream world they're moving around in? I don't know what to make of it yet. >_> (They've got names but they're cropped out of the picture, so... we'll find out eventually.)

Just found an even clearer image of the poster. http://gamerabbit.jp...20110915_02.jpg And some other stuff from gamerabbit.jp: http://gamerabbit.jp.../tgs2011-5.html Won't bother linking them all here. But go grab the images. =3 There are a handful of new ones. Probably most importantly this one: http://gamerabbit.jp/2011/09/15/tgssqex_20110915_14.jpg Although its hard to make out, I do believe one of the new creatures has a symbol on its tummy.

It's got some similarities, but its still too much of a stretch to compare their outfits. I also worry over Riku dying. Going out like Axel sort of dying, to protect Sora or Kairi. T___T And because I'm a huge fan of angsty plot twists I really hope Xehanort isn't done ruining his life yet, either.

Nice guys aren't always as they seem? I think it would bring a reoccurring theme across nicely. I actually had the pleasure of rewatching Treasure Planet a month or so ago. =3
