As Pods said, while we're in the middle of the time-consuming Odyssey project, it's nice to relax and think about simpler things: like the next entry in the Kingdom Hearts series! In case none of you recognized the pic at the top of my blog (with the words 'Bizarro World' and 'Goodbye' written on it), I am a huge fan of the Kingdom Hearts series. The game ingeniously combines Disney characters/worlds with Final Fantasy characters/concepts, and throws in some original stuff to boot. Anyone who beat Kingdom Hearts II (particularly those who unlocked the secret ending) are probably waiting anxiously for the next entry in the series. Before Kingdom Hearts III finally hits the PS3, there will be three games for handheld systems that will give more depth to the series (similar to the GameBoy Advance game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories). They are:
-Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
-Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
-Kingdom Hearts: Coded
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep- This game will be released for the PSP, and will focus on the three characters seen in the KHII secret ending and the KHII Final Mix+ secret ending. Since you probably need to see the Final Mix ending to understand what I am about to say, here is the link:
They are named Terra (the guy with brown hair who used to be my avatar and is in this pic), Ven (looks like Roxas from KH2, unconscious in the above pic) and Aqua (the girl with blue hair). The game will have three parallel storylines; you play as one of the three in their own storyline. The villain will be another new character named Master Xehanort (the bald guy from the Final Mix ending, for those of you that saw that). Fro some reason, he's wearing the same clothes as Ansem from the first game. Hmmm...
The game takes place about 10 years before the first Kingdom Hearts, so the enemies will not be Heartless, but 'new' enemies that we did not see in any of the previous Kingdom Hearts games. In addition to the three main Keyblade wielders, characters such as King Mickey and Maleficient will also appear; since this is a prequel, it may give an explanation for Maleficient's rise to power. While you will visit areas familiar to KH fans, you will also visit new worlds, such as the Forest from Sleeping Beauty. This looks to be an exciting game, and will probably tie in a lot with the upcoming KH3. There was a new trailer behind closed doors at Jump Feista 2008. Since it was private, we probably won't see footage anytime soon, but here is the summary of the trailer:
Make of that what you will. Soon I'll post another update about the other exciting game, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.
Brawl: 5 days left!!!
