Dude, what's wrong with your Keyblade?! Jesus H. Christ! Nonethless I'm linking the different shapes it takes. Inovating in the battle system.

Next, from Kingdom Hearts Network Forums, I tell you this:

Yesterday we reported news regarding the new information for 358/2 Days. The information wasn't to big, but today more info was leaked and believe me that this is nothing you would want to miss out on! If you missed any news from yesterday, just simply scroll down to the yellow table which will recap everything for you.
  • Roxas will be able to have different forms like Sora.
  • The 14th Member is a female who has influenced the actions of Roxas.
  • This character stays un-named. She is considerably mysterious.
  • There may be an opening movie to the game.
  • Cutscenes from 358/2 Days are being re-done to fit the DS right.
  • The scene in KHII: FM+ featuring Roxas and Axel has now been done in full work detail.
  • Various Disney characters will appear in the game.

From KH-Vids:

Hey everyone, it seemed all that came at the beginning of this year, was a High Quality scan of 358/2 days which wouldn't really count as something new, then it was a higher quality of something we saw last year.



However now we've got some really nice new information concerning about the three games! Some are things we already know, as others are pretty new and at the same time are interesting. It's about time we got something like this considering lately Square-Enix has been in the dark.


Coded
- The scene of Riku in Neverland is to show what Riku was thinking before he kidnapped Kairi.
- The scene showing Traverse Town where Sora meets Donald and Goofy will be focusing on what Pluto did during that time.
- Sora can glide in Coded.
- The heartless have invaded the data, however they are not bugs.
- High-Speed Mode makes Sora run really fast, as Crash Mode turns the game into a sidescroller action!
- Debugs have a certain timelimit, if you fail to eliminate the bug then you can attempt again with other debugging methods.
- Upgrade Points (VP) can be used to help Sora become stronger, and these are done by bug eliminatin and heartless destroyed. Each heartless is worth 10 points.
- KH Coded's Online play can be used to join in and help other players in the game. However the system changes when in the other player's world, can you escape it? By the way the player's other then the one that joined will be shown as a shadow Sora to prevent confusions.


358/2 Days
- The 14th member is not revealed yet.
- Roxas' gameplay in single player mode has been changed slightly to give a more Kingdom Hearts feel.
- Roxas' must collect hearts everyday, in Organization XIII Saix tells Roxas to be more careful next time.
- The game will be moving throughout from Kingdom Hearts 1 - Kingdom Hearts 2.
- Items obtained in Single Player Mode, can be used in Multiplayer Mode. Also the screen below is mostly used to display the map and target, however it is not complete.
- The new gauge LP Mode has not been fully revealed, but is hinted to be used for powerful techniques.
- In single player mode the arrow is under the right corner of the screen, when in multi player it's under the left. They didn't say if this mysterious arrow (Not the arrow showing where your character is) can be used by the touchpad or not.
- There is a type of missions called "Hologram Missions" that can be used in single and multiplayer mode. These missions are not part of the main storyline at all. This is also how the Organization members trained.
- When doing missions you'll be graded with either a "G" or a "N" The "G" means you did good, and your chair will begin to rotate and rise. If you get an "N" the chair will begin to descend, as you either swayed away from your mission or did a bad job.
- The ability of Dodge roll gives more of a KH1 feel then it does KH2FM+
- Some returning enemies from KH1 will be back, however they have been revamped and there are a few other surprises in the game.
- This game is considered to be a mix of the normal Kingdom Hearts feel, as well as a dark feel to it.
- The Organization character's personalities will be fully revealed in this game, this way you can follow the cutscenes better, and the conversations between them can become more interesting.
- This game features an interesting twist in the battle system where you can chain your attacks together! You can attack, use dodgerolling, glide and more into just a single combination!
- The actions and defenses of each Organization member is new, and they all have their own special ability! Xigbar was able to use stronger attacks for a short while.

Birth by Sleep
- The scene of Cinderalla and Ven, is that Cinderalla is rushing towards the castle while Ven is staring at it, what could have caused this scenario?
- There is a possibility of event limitations within the game.
- Donald and Goofy watch as Yensid trains with Mickey in order for Mickey to become a stronger Keyblade warrior. What is his purpose to gain this power?
- Terra and Malificent are working together, Terra's smile is hinting to a connection but Nomura won't say what.
- Nomura hints that not all three Keybladers are connected to the three heroes of Kingdom Hearts II, however this game will explain the original conflict of the Kingdom Hearts series.
- The new enemies names are not announced still...

Director of Crisis Core talks about FFVII remake

The director of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 and Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, Hajime Tabata, spoke to the Playstation Official Magazine about the most wanted remake of the Final Fantasy titles.
The director stated that a remake isn't on the schedule, but it isn't confirmed as well. According to him, the team in charge of Final Fantasy VII is extremely busy and so the remake could be possible if a free time happens to show up.

"The possibility for a remake may become greater if, for instance, the schedules of the original members of the Final Fantasy VII development team, such as Kitase and Nomura, open up."

This means that we may have to wait until we get what we all want. Maybe after the Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XII teams finish their job on the Fabula Nova Cristallys project.

Nomura interview by Famitsu

To celebrate their 1000th issue, Famitsu released a 4 page interview with Tetsuya Nomura. We don't have any complete translation but we got some translations provided on some webpages which I give credit to kula shakerz for his work to find them.


- While designing Final Fantasy VII, they were indecisive about how spiky to make Cloud's hair.

- He would be happy with Final Fantasy illustrations done only by Amano.

- He likes to draw with just a sharp pencil.

- Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII: Has muscular legs, she isn't sweet and doesn't cry.

- Aya from Parasite Eve 3 is a bid more rounded than Lightning.

- The clothes of the Final Fantasy Versus XII hero will probably be revised.

- He buys games based on Famitsu reviews.

Here are the four scans: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, Page 4.
