Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

Spoiler: show

What you're seeing there is actually Ventus and Vanitas fused

[Insanecyclone]

I liked the story because of how confusing they wanted to make it but this is just crazy as fuck.


SECRET ENDING TO BIRTH BY SLEEP

Spoiler: show

[Charismatic]

One thing they did right was bring this back.

[Insanecyclone]

Another thing about the Unversed

Spoiler: show

Are really the Heartless and Nobodies before they became those 2 things

fucking mindfuck series until you understand it all

[Koul]

so...

Spoiler: show

heartless are those who's hearts are taken but before they become heartless they're unversed and nobodies are those who's hearts have been taken but didn't become heartless. Right? Why are they making this shit so intense.

[Charismatic]

It seems there are two types of heartless.
I'm not really going to try to get into that particular point because I don't fully understand it myself.

But, for the second type of heartless... as far as I can understand, they are half of a being.
Heartless are actually the heart without a body (I know, sounds silly considering they are called heartless, but it's the same for nobodies)
Nobodies are bodies without hearts, again... bad naming.

So, when someone's heart is taken they become both a nobody and a heartless it would seem. Take Sora/Roxas and KH1's 'Ansem' and KH2's 'Xehanort' as examples of this.

[Elcura]

Oh shit, didn't realise this was out already. Time to avoid spoilers until the internet graces me with something in English. Though it is Kingdom Hearts, so it's not like getting spoiled is the worst thing ever.

And fuck yeah, Rage Awakened is awesome.

[Koul]

ahhh, I see. I kinda get it now.

I really liked the first one, CoM and KH2 but things are just getting really weird now. I should play KH2 again though. I just don't know where the story is going.

oh, I just read the ending. so we still don't know what mickey wrote to them at the end of KH2? uugghhh so many hoops just to lead up to KH3 lol

After reading that translated than hearing in moonspeak...

Spoiler: show

It would appear we will be playing as Sora again trying to reconnect things that happened in Birth by Sleep that are connected to him.

Ventus=Roxas
Vantias= Ventus's "Heartless" if you want to say that but has Sora's hair.

It would also appear the person talking to Aqua was possibly Xemnas and it looks like she hasn't changed at all in the 10 years pasted in the darkness. Because Ansem has red eyes but he had golden eyes in his DiZ costume it almost looks like Ansem the Wise.

I still want to know what the fuck is in that letter.

[Cydewinder]

Thanks for the OST...but I can barely even read the text in that pic.

NA Summer release

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/16/ki...-u-s-this-sum/

Square Enix is sure hoping that the recent release of its long-in-production RPG hasn't caused you to forget about its other long-in-production RPG: The PSP-exclusive Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. The company recently sent a jolt through the series' dormant U.S. fan base by announcing that the title will come stateside sometime this summer.

According to Squeenix's press release announcement, the North American version of the game will include new features, such as "an extra boss and additional multiplayer options," as well as something called "Crown Stickers." That certainly sounds like powerful weapon in the fight against the Heartless. We hear those guys hate stickers.

Fuck yeah! Also

# According to the Director's Secret Report XIII, Xehanort will most certainly reappear in a future game - as his Heartless and Nobody were slain in that order. Nomura has confirmed this, stating that Kingdom Hearts III will portray the final battle between Sora and Xehanort, and serve as the conclusion of what he thinks of as the "Xehanort Saga"[1].
