Yup, KH3 will be for PS3

Birth by sleep is another story from KH3, KH3 is after birth by sleep, I think birth by sleep's ending will be KH3 opening if I'm not mistaken.

Alright, I translated some things but I really don't have time write it out all perfectly translated but if you really want it translated then I can have it done maybe by next week at the most . . . School just takes up most of my time . . . *sigh*

BirthBySleep

In this it's basically saying that the people in the secret video will be protrayed further in this game and the enemies in one pic aren't actually Heartless or Nobody but something else and this game introduces a new battle system. Also in the game will probably be mostly playing Terra on his journy. (On a side note, the preview of this game kind of gives me an idea on the ending, and it's going to be sad, I just know it, I'll probably cry T_T)

356/2 Days

This one basically says that this story will happen during Roxas' time in the Organization and there are two modes: Muti and single. It also tells of a 14th female member of the organization. It also tells of the people you can play in muti player mode and a breif on the weapons and abillities.

CODED

This one is basically explaining about a data world and the past or something being errored and it has to be 'debugged' or fixed by a simulated Sora figure. And it has a strange battle system of blocks and Heartless that is more of a puzzle solving game and just basically is another memory journy like KH:CoM because what I'm getting out of this is that there are missing peices of the first game that Sora and everyone can't remember or something so they seek out the truth in a digital world in Jimmy's Journal or something like that.

Also at the end it says there will be more news near the end of October

Okay well coded seems crap then but well see i guess..

Yeah coded seems crap to me too, the other two on the other hand are a most have

An Interview with Tetsuya Nomura on KH:358/2 Days and KH:Coded:

Is the battle system the same as previous games?
TN: The actions of the characters and the controls are a different from the past games. This is because of the screen size, however there is no need to worry because for now there is no command menu, but we may add one (the method is still being thought about).

Will there be Touch-Screen support?
TN: For now, there is no fuction where you can use the DS Touchscreen. Because if we do that, the entire feeling of Kingdom Hearts may be ruined. Also the top screen will mostly be used for the story telling, when the lower screen will be erased. However there will be somepoints where both screens will be used.

What can you tell us about Multiplayer?
TN: I find it an interesting feature, for whenever you complete a mission, the Organization member's chair will rise or lower. I wonder what will happen if you lose with Xemnas *laughs*. (Confirms Xemnas being playable)

As for the strength, and gameplay of characters, they have been altered depending on what type of member they were. Such as Xigbar's attacks have high range, but Xigbar has slow reloading time, as Lexaeus has slow movement, but very high attack power. There is still one mysterious character though.

Is the mysterious character Zexion?
Nomura: Yes, because he uses the book as a weapon. Although what we are aiming to do, is allow him to absorb other enemies attacks, and use their attacks against them.

KINGDOM HEARTS CODED
We are curious as to how will this continue after the KH2 Story?
TN: What are Sora and the others doing now in the real world, while the story continues in the Data world. This will not be shown. However there are many mysteries that will be answered in this game, and there will possibly be key points that will be important to the future of the series. The Phone this game will be put on has not been released yet, but that also means when it is released, there will be many possibilities with this game in the future.

Interview from kh2.com

Hmm well i still have a psp problem. need to look for emulator

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Interview

Development team from Kingdom Hearts RE:Chain of Memories, therefore the team in Osaka is handling the game as well.
Tetsuya Nomura: Development started earlier, however due to RE:COM needed to be improved a lot, the production of BBs was interupted.

Then we can consider it possible that the secret movie of KH2FM+ will play an important role in BBS?
TN: Yes

So does this take place before the first Kingdom Hearts game?
TN: Yes, however it does'nt start immediately before Kingdom Hearts.

Is there a representation to the name of Terra, and the other characters?
TN: In the origin of the names Earth is Terra, as Wind is Ven. However the real name of Ven is loner, this is just an alias.

The figure and age of the old man who is called Master Xehanort, is different from the Xehanort of Kingdom Hearts II. Also what is the relationship with the person who looks just like Roxas?
TN: There is a mystery to who each character is in the story, which I can not reveal right now.

Is the master who taught the three from the current series?
TN: I can't say.

The story will advance around these three people?
TN: Yes, it is also pretty complex in this game, and can become very series. Watanabe who took chare of the scenarios is skillful in this. Also he is supervising some of the scenarios of the other two titles. This game will also be a bit challenging since the game will be featuring the aspect of three people.

There will be an individual story for each of them?
Yasushi Kurosaw: Yes, also the gameplay and feeling for each of their playthroughs will be different. It will feel as if three games were made.

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories there was a chapter of Sora, and a chapter of Riku. Would you call these two scenarios?
YK: Yes, however in this case completing one story will create more mysteries for the other characters, making you wanting to play them to figure out the mysteries.

Like zapping?
YK: Well it depends, in a way the game wouldn't be the same if we changed it's contents.
Yoichi Yashimoto: It's not really easy to explain right now, please wait a bit more in the future. (Laughs)

How about the composition of the worlds? Where do you begin, and does it become an adventure where you go into Disney Worlds?
YK: I think that it will be better to keep a normal feeling of Disney Worlds, but also have new worlds as well. Of course there will also be two or more new worlds where you are surprised.

How much will they enjoy the games?
TN: Mainly the story will be their enjoyment, and because this game will take place in the past the Disney Worlds will also have a little timeshift as well.

When the battle images were shown to the public, there was a new enemy that wasn't a heartless or a nobody, what is it?
TN: It is neither, a Heartless or a Nobody, this is a new type of enemy. Because the existence of these creatures came before Heartless and Nobodies a starting point needs to be imaged, and it became a wild concept to them.
YK: Basically it becomes wild. However, its moves are fast!

What will the battle system become? As well as the "Lingering Spirit" and the character in the Secret Movie.
YK: That was done as a hint, because it is an image to the end. Also this game will be introducing a new system!
TN: It might be one of the most current games of the series that have been announced during this time. Also the Level system features a new idea that has not been seen before.
YK: "When you absorb it in what?" (Laughs) It is considered as a Novel, and an impact to the leveling system. (He seemed to have been quoting something, could it be a hint?)
YY: It is really interesting actually, however I think you'll be able to understand it more if you saw it from a screen image, so please wait a while longer.
TN: This growth system was made, by one person.

Can you give a hint?
YK: ....The level up is like growing.

Is it possible where people can play by bringing PSP's together?
YY: Well, we are thinking by a co-operation between people, or even competing against each other. We are trying to think of an element that could make use of the PSP fully.
TN: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has a different concept, and multiplayer is also complete, and different.

Though there seems to be a variety in the beginning of the story. The game system also seems to have more content to make it enjoyable.
YY: Well, the idea first came out really fast, and changed rapidly as well. It was interesting to see the traditional gameplay of Kingdom hearts, but at the same time the hardship of the gameplay as well.
TN: This is a game which the variety can play, even if all the mysteries in the story were solved.
YK: From here on after, the game is just going to get better. The battle system will also be enjoyable. The feeling of the game will be as close to Kingdom Hearts as possible, but with a few twists.
YY: Also even though the game will be more serious, it will please those that are a fan of Disney. The worlds are prepared with a surprise even though the story is serious. I think the mixture of disney with this will be interesting.
By the way, this game was announced at the same time as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Coded. Were you anxious?
YY: We were very anxious about everything, the system and the story. I thought it was considerate through the PV that was shown at the Tokyo Game Show.
TN: This game will have to wait sadly, however we also need to think about the sales in the end.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days Interview

First of all, please tell us the meaning of the title 358/2 Days.
Tetsuya Nomura: The title was done on purpose as a code, you can only understand it after beating the game. The word Day, is attached and the progress of the game is to show how the Organization came to be, as well as the daily life of the Organization Xi. They are always faced with the duty from a place, and then have to return. The game will focus around Roxas, who is a member of the Organization. It will be an adventure game, repetition is also one of the concepts of the game.

Does the time of the game focus around when Roxas enters Organization Xi, and does it connect to Kingdom Hearts?
TN: Yes, after Roxas enters Organization Xi, which will only be a small part of the story, afterwards it will focus around the timeframe when Sora was asleep for the year. Roxas entering the Organization was not understood yet, but will be explained, and also the duty he is put through everyday. Finally about Roxas' doubts of the Organization and why he leaves the Organization. This is basically the main part of the story.

Do you wish to represent something of the 3 works, by having a different color logo on each of the games announced this time?
TN: The reason why we chose this color for 358/2 days was to use the warm color group as a sunset in Twilight Town. I believe the story in this game will be really sad as well. It should also be noted that some of the scenarios I chose for Kingdom Hearts II Final MIx+ were based off the novel that focused on Roxas, which came in the Kingdom Hearts Another Report.

In a way this game will be the same as Zack in Crisis Core, where the future was already decided.
TN: Yes however, Roxas in Kingdom Hearts wasn't as tragic as Zack's was.

Why did you choose the Nintendo DS for this game?
TN: Well first of all, I always choose a system before developing a plan. There was a plan for multi platforming that could be easily played, so this one made it to the DS. Also, it made it more possible to use the characters of Organization Xi, the project of this work was also meant to make it a story that automatically depicted Roxas.

It's a Wonderful world took full advantage of the Nintendo DS, will this game do the same?
TN: It is possible to take advantage of the functions of the DS, however we'll be taking an opposite turn this time. We are aiming that one day it will be possible to play the game, even if it's not just touching your way through. Also because the feeling of Kingdom Hearts' gameplay would be too different the moment the touch pen is used.

How about the handling of the Kingdom Hearts series, since it seems you are having a hand in developing the game for the first time?
Koji: Production has to be on the spot, while researching on how it can be put onto the Nintendo DS, and be Kingdom Hearts at the same time. Also how the story will become, because besides the fans, a lot of staff in Square-Enix is also looking forward towards them, since there are many fans of Kingdom Hearts in the staff. Also the appearance of the 14th member, will be understood later on. (laughs)

Though there is a 14th Organization Xi Member, it appears to be Namine??
TN: It is possible to say, but no it's not Namine.

Then who is this person?
TN: In Kingdom Hearts II there was Organization Xi, however even when they had 14 members it was still Organization Xi, the reason why they were never known as XIV even though they had 14 members will be understood in this game. She is a key character.

Will Sora and Riku appear in this game at all?
Hiroshi: The scene will appear as well as a battle between Riku and Roxas. As for the situations in the story where Sora's memory is being reconstructed in the chamber where he is sleeping it will be hard for him to be in the game. However the memory will be a key point in this game. However what we don't want to do is emphatically show connections between Roxas and Sora by memories.

This time around what will happen with the Disney Worlds?
TN: The relationships between people will be different as you go through the worlds.
Hiroshi: Because the game will be coming from Kingdom Hearts II there will be a lot of things people will be able to relate to, such as Roxas. However the system with the worlds will be a bit different this time around. Such as appearing worlds will be one of the things remaining but not all the worlds will always be available to visit for fun.

Will there be a basic game system just like the original Kingdom Heart games?
Hiroshi: In a way the game will be the same as the other Kingdom Hearts games, however there are some problems, such as the buttons on the DS.
Koji: This is true, because there are not as many buttons on the DS as there are on the other consoles, so it will be hard as you had to make good use of the analog, the d-pad and the L and are button. We are still examining on what we can do to get past this.

Does the story come together with single mode, and multiplayer mode?
TN: It is possible to say that there will be no story progress within Multiplayer mode, as that will ruin the progression of the story as well. However the leveling system in single player, and multiplayer are synchronized. The leveling system will have a huge amount of freedom this time as well such as customization which will be on of the best benefits of Multiplayer mode. However Roxas' level will not be transferred over.

In Multiplayer mode, are all Organization Xi members playable?
TN: Yes, you are able to.
Hiroshi: The multiplayer mode will be treated as an alternate world, because there is a member that disappears in the single player mode as the story advances.
Koji: Because the characters will all have a unique gameplay as they all have different weapons. Though the real concerns are Demyx's Sitar, and Zexion's book.

How do you move on with Multiplayer mode?
Hiroshi: Basically you will receive various missions you must clear. There is also a map, and there are a lot of gimmicks added into the levels as well. Of course we are also putting bosses in multiplayer mode.
Koji We made it so that people can play it many times, and some of the levels are short as well. There is a score attack mode too, to see who can grab it. However incase you don't want to co-operate, we are thinking of adding elements like versus, and competitions.

Interview: Will there be a mission when you can be Xemnas, or given one to Xemnas?
TN: Yes, however there are methods with Xemnas we need to work with.
Hiroshi: Yeah, such as with organization Xi, the chair raises when carrying out the commission and lowers when failing. (laughs)
Koji: It is a result of multiplayer, and it depends on the stage as well. (laughs)
TN: I wonder what would happen if Xemnas fails (laughs)

In Multiplayer are there other elements?
Koji: In the lower screen we are thinking of possibly using the Touch Pen for drawing. If I remember, people can also use drawings on the lower screen. I want to think about a mission that could use this feature.

Messages to the Readers
Hiroshi: Please look forward to the multiplayer that will be featured in Kingdom Hearts 358/2, also enjoy the other Kingdom Hearts games coming out.
Koji: I think it will be very unusual to be able to play as the 13th Organization, however because it is unusual it makes me happy, I want you to look forward tot his.
TN: Because the story in the game is a critical factor in Kingdom Hearts, it is always natural to play alone, though the multiplayer is also added for natural purposes. It might be a bit difficult to play. We plan to catch the eyes of a lot of people, and give this game a feel like "It's a Wonderful World" as well.

Kingdom Hearts: Coded Interview

Whereabouts do you believe the quality of the cellphone game will be? Will it be the same as the other two games?
Hajime Tabata: We plan on getting the game in par with Final Fantasy Agito Xi, however that's still being thought on.

What is the concept of this game?
Tetsuya Nomura: I wanted to make this like a playground for fans. Like Disneyland where there are many attractions for people. I wish to do the same, but with content instead.
HT: Actually to start it off, Nomura was drunk at midnight (oh god) and began to explain the idea, with the help of the whiteboard and it's contents for the mobile phone. There was a lot of planning going on for that midnight.
TN: It wasn't even thought about being part of the Kingdom Hearts series then, however whenever there's a plan for the game it's best to start from story.
HT: At first the plan seemed terrible, but at the same time interesting, after all Kingdom Hearts is special.
TN: We thought about various elements, that could be added into the story, to help extend the game. Such as in Before Crisis FFVII, and Monotone there was a new battle system, as well as chapters to help work the system, and the game. We might make it the same for Kingdom Hearts Coded

Is there big plans for this game? Since the setting of it takes place after Kingdom Hearts II.
TN: Yes, however I should point out that Sora from Kingdom Hearts, is only appearing in those clothes because of the Jiminy Journal is taking data from the very beginning. Therefore the Sora is not the original, but a data copy. The memory is also erased from Sora, and he has to go through his adventures again to solve the mystery of the Data bugs.

Then this means they can enjoy adventuring with Sora, without worrying about a change in personality from the original Sora. Will there be a developing story in the real world too?
TN: At first I wasn't sure, but I believe events in the real world will be talked about as well. There is also a story in development about the real world as well, which will be done for the user.

There was an adventure in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, in the Kingdom Hearts series, will the Data World be following Kingdom Hearts series as well?
TN: Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, was created to relive the worlds created by Sora's Memory. This game differs from Chain of Memories, as there will be a brand new story, since the bug has corrupted the data. Questions will be answered to, such as where the King had gone, and also what Riku has been doing.

In the Jiminy Journal it's said "We must return to free them from their Torment" who is 'Them'? Are they characters we've seen before in previous Kingdom Hearts games.
TN: I can not tell you now. Actually it's not even possible to really explain it yet as it is about the true enemy of the game. Even though there are heartless in the game that are made out of data, they are not the real cause.

How does the battle work?
HT: Kingdom Hearts series button layout makes it simple to recreate it for the cellphone, and it will have that same combat feel, however at the same time I will be putting in new elements. One example is the "Debugging Mode" which was created to eliminate the bug.

Will you be using any other elements that might make use of the telecomunication facility?
HT: I will, such as being able to go in the world of the player. What I mean is that, it's possible to intefere with other players, as they all share the world together. An example being that if there is trouble in the world of Player B, I can go there and help them solve the bug, and then return to the world of Player A.

The invasion do the bug is one thing, where there be other problems within the game?
HT: It is likely to be the first aspect of the problem, and is also one of the concepts of the game. there may be other problems as well, but you'll have to wait to find out what they are.

Will just about anyone be able to enjoy this?
HT: The Kingdom Hearts series became a game for people who played the series before can understand the next one. I believe people who haven't even touched Kingdom Hearts can play this game for the first time, and enjoy it.
TN: I will be preparing the playground for people to enjoy the game. I think everyone should look forward to the day it is released. (Laughs)
