Good lord, I ALREADY MOVED THE PAGE. Stop making a federal case out of every little thing, guys.

@Sove, the [chi] is for pronunciation only, it's not part of the title. Like [duodecim]. -- 13:04, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I was not able to use χ either, but apparently it was caused by TitleBlacklist.-- So  ve  13:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weird. I just cut and pasted it. Anyway, the important thing is that it's fixed. --72.66.110.50 19:43, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Alice?
Alice from Alice in Wonderland, who has already appeared in the KH1, has been confirmed for this game? Is this just a mere cameo? Because I find it hard to swallow that a girl as young as her would appear as an actual character in a game that supposedly occurs during the Keyblade War, which was like... what... centuries eariler? Blackchaos27 (talk) 07:34, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * We always have to take pre-release screenshots with a grain of salt, maybe it's just a mockup shot to introduce the game's direction, maybe this scene will be cut from the final game, there are many possibilites. If the game is canon is also a bit ambiguous, maybe this is not the Alice from KH but another representation of her (data, dream, replica, you name it) or she really is a undead god ruling from beyond time and space through this tiny avatar. 10:34, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I wouldn't question her appearance. Minnie and Mickey remained the same in the 10/11/12 years since Birth by Sleep to KH3D/KH2... as did Yen Sid, Stitch and so on and so forth. The only people who actually do age at all in the game are original characters and Final Fantasy characters. At least, according to what the Ultimania and other sources say. Even Huey, Dewey and Louie have stayed remained children and haven't aged into adults over the course of the games... so yeah, again, I wouldn't question Disney characters aging. 15:54, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, this IS a game so not everything will be realistic. For example, for all the time Sora goes off on adventures, he never thinks about his MOTHER. 15:59, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * @Erry - Anthropomorphic animals like Mickey and the others, I understand. Powerful sorcerers, like Yen Sid and Merlin, not surprising since those types of characters tend to have a very long lifespans. I'm only iffy because she's only human. That and I doubt ANY of the characters alive today were alive back then, otherwise I'd think Mickey would've remembered what happened back then. Also an issue concerning the seven princesses; if this occurs before the χ-blade was shattered, then the Princesses of Heart didn't exist yet.


 * However, seeing as this game is still in early development and there's really not much info at this point, and there have been a few unrealistic moments, I won't question it any further. Blackchaos27 (talk) 00:16, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Remember the second trip to Traverse Town in DDD, people. Time works differently in different worlds. Plus I believe that everyone from Disney Town is immortal. And as the events of the game take place before there were seven hearts of pure light, the fact that Alice is in this game is... confusing.


 * Also, it is impossible for this game to take place 2 - 4 years before the events of BbS. If the princesses were immortal, then Kairi would still be four years old in DDD. Let's just hope that we get more information soon... 06:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Time works differently in different worlds. That may be. But even so I doubt a second in one world could be a year in another.


 * We're still not sure exactly when the seven fragments became hearts, and there's still the possibility of those lights actually being passed down from generation to generation. But as stated above this is still in it's early development and for all we know that screenshot (which I've never seen) could just be a mockup that could get removed from the game (it's been done before). Blackchaos27 (talk) 08:08, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * But it's the era of the keyblade war, if we believe Kairi's grandma, there should be only one world and one time. 10:43, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

This could be before Alice's time in Wonderland in which case she stopped aging when she got there, not hard to believe as time works differently there. Darth Riku (talk) 20:29, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

KH13
We really need to not be using fansites as sources, even if they're accurate. Track the info down to a primary or journal source. 04:41, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Open Beta
So the open beta started today (it's scheduled to end at August 1st) and anyone with a Yahoo! Japan ID can access it. Because the game is not canon (it's not the real keyblade war, just a retelling with much artistic freedom) how do we handle it here? There are some unique elements like new keyblades, new characters (e.g. Chirishii), new synthesis materials, even new locations like "Daybreak Town". And of course there are the cards which are more like the TGS game than the Chain of Memories variant. 09:43, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * We should handle it the same way we do the manga, I guess. Separate story sections, but it is canon to itself. 22:18, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay then, because an English translation seems to not in development at the moment the most important articles would be Daybreak Town (デイブレイクタウン), Chirishii (チリシィ), Foreteller (予知者), the Unions (ユニオン) and the new Heartless (Achoo Mole, Flower Rider and Jewelry Bag) I have yet to find the kanji for.
 * Achoo Mole (アチューモール), Flower Rider (フラワーライダー) & Jewelry Bag (ジュエリーバッグ) ;) Lady Junky (talk) 10:55, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks:) 11:14, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome :) But, I have a question: are you sure it is the Divine Rose in KH chi? Because it is really different :/ Lady Junky (talk) 11:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Im pretty sure it is. I think that these keyblades can be upgraded (getting the glas colored on the hilt, the rose bloom etc.) to eventually match their KH counterparts, at least that's what the file names suggest and I can vagualy remember that I also read this somewhere. But at least for now only these images can be found in the game files, this will probably change once the beta is finished and the real game begins. 11:26, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok :) Sooooo... Any sign of Stroke of Midnight? xD You are doing a good job :) I hope you will find other elements :) ^^ Lady Junky (talk) 11:28, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * At least for now there is no evidence that the Castle of Dreams will be part of the game, although I also think we can expect to see it in the future. The real question is who the sevenths princess will be. Maybe grandma will includes Kairi in the story too but it would seem a bit strange to do so. 11:43, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes :) Lady Junky (talk) 11:45, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * A new heartless: Wabble Tiptoe (ワッブルチップトウ). You can see it here ^^ Lady Junky (talk) 19:40, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

But wait, there is more (at least according to the game files):http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0011_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0012_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0015_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0016_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0019_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0020_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0021_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0022_86.png http://cache.kingdomhearts.jp/res/img/icon/mission/mission_0001_0024_86.png 21:31, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oo FANTASTIC! Do you have their names (of the news one of course :P) Lady Junky (talk) 21:34, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Sadly I don't, I've yet to find a way to access the game's text directly. 21:45, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok :) Good luck :D Lady Junky (talk) 21:53, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Card list
Should there be a page with a list of the cards included in the game (name, rarity, off/def power, etc?) or is that unnecessary since it's just sort of a social game? --Wind Prism (talk) 07:48, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, we should definite have such a list, but I'm not sure where to begin at the moment, probably the shown characters. Each cards is coded with an 8-byte string in the game, that's quite a lot. Maybe that's just the crushed name of the card but I think these refer to the different attributes instead. 10:43, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Separate world pages/mission descriptions?
Do you guys think we should add separate Subsections for the Chi versions of the worlds? Maybe add some details/pages for the quests like we have for the 358/2 missions? GiroZX (talk) 02:35, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Why would we need separate subsections for each world? Shouldn't they just be covered as a secondary canon for each world, as we're doing with the manga? 03:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * We'll need to use the world's game: pages, methinks. 15:02, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Canonical?
Sorry for the question, but this game is canonical? Because i see the wiki give to him a lot of importance, but I don't understend why if is only a "game no-canon" because Alice, Aladdin and others appear here, but chronologicaly this one must be centuries later of BbS and ALice have 11 years old in KH1 so in BbS she must have 1 year old, so why she appear in this game? Same thing for Emblem Heartless, they are created after BbS, can somebody explain to me?--93.150.128.115 14:06, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The goal of the wiki is to cover all official KH stuff regardless its canon status, that's why the mangas, novels, trading card games, facebook games and all games SquareEnix released can be found here. Among them mobile and [chi] are not canon, but feature enough unique content to have their own pages. [chi] is a bit special though as Nomura confirmed that there will be connection to KHIII, probably meaning that some elements introduced in [chi] (Chirishii, the Fortellers, Daybreak Town, Lux, you name them) will also play a role in this upcoming game, even if the connecting story will differ from [chi]'s. So as you can see, it's a bit complicated and not everything has been worked out by this point. At the moment there seems to be no real guidline how to incoperate elements of [chi], like the new Heartless, in some articles but often there is a seperation line or tags that indicate which game there are from, so you can decide yourself what to make of it. --77.185.115.1 15:10, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you^^ I hope to she the new Characters, worlds and Heartless in KH3 (specialy the new Heartless, I love struggle versus new enemies :) )--93.150.128.115 15:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Bringing this up again
So, I think this is KHX is going to become a proper, canon entry to the series. From their latest KHX news update, they mentioned (translated into English): "A Serious Story Begins!!" and "In this KINGDOM HEARTS, everything is connected to the main storyline. To all fans that have been playing the series, do not overlook this expansion in the story and please look forward to it.". That gives me reason to believe that KHX has been changed into a canon entry to the series, since they specifically said to not overlook the story. What do you guys think? 22:00, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * There is a passage written in the Foretellers’ Script. It is an important fact that leads to KINGDOM HEARTS III.
 * Well shit, that enough holds enough water, let alone Nomura flat out saying "everything is connected to the main storyline." maggosh 23:12, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, just that doesn't make sure that the whole story itself is part of the main storyline, just that something in that script is important.It doesn't say that everything that happens in each wolrds individual storyline is canon. Although, that IS possible, since as Riku tells to Joshua in KH3D, "time flows different in any two worlds". So it is possible that Aladdin, Alice and the others didn't aged all those years after the war, and reamined almost the same during Sora's story. EDIT: Also, about the Keyblades, Shard once said that maybe after upgrading them, they would look like the ones from the other games. The new info said that (later, not yet) something would happen when you upgraded a keyblade to the maximum. Maybe that's it. - 19:01, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, changing the numbers of the icons similar to how we do with the cards, I found new Heartlles. Don't know if they already appeared, because I didn't played in the Halloween.

It just won't die off...
So, it seems to me that rather than the whole game being canon, it might just be that part of the Foreteller's story that connects to Kingdom Hearts III. In determining canonocity (is that even a word?) you have to also see it from a real-world perspective. The nature of Kingdom Hearts games is to include Disney worlds. A game like Kingdom Hearts χ wouldn't have included new ones, they were going to have to use previously appearing worlds. Since it wasn't going to cost anything, even though it would be a cool game, they wouldn't mwke a big deal out of it, and so they didn t introduce new worlds (except for Daybreak Town) and they used a loose story. A story in which the basic concept was canon and well known, and the details wouldn't need to be. Parts of Kingdom Hearts χ are canon, things like this Foretellers story and general events leading up to the Keyblade War. Other parts, like the inclusion of Alice, Aladdin, and Snow White, aren't, and were added because of the Disney element that makes Kingdom Hearts games what they are. That's my understanding, seeing Tetsuya Nomura mentinoed the connection again last week. 00:01, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * It's actually pretty clever if you think about it. There will probably never a game about the real events of the keyblade war, simply because the setting would be completely different, almost non-Disney like, it would also be a rather brutal event and even more importantly the mystery of these ancient times would be gone too. So it's made into a children's story that even allows some online play. Now SE can take all elements they think are defining Kingdom Hearts (Heartless, Disney worlds and characters etc.) and mix in new ones and later Nomura decides which of the (at the moment thin) stories and concepts should be kept and which should be forgotten. All elements that are canon will probably be repeated or summarized when KHIII arrives so there is really no need to differentiate at this point.
 * By the way, all story segments are translated on KHInsider since last week, so everyone can catch up. 01:54, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I think if they do make a game based on the events leading up to and including the Keyblade War, it will be a full game, with a cost on an actual game console with new Disney characters and worlds and having set protagonists, like Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. So, I guess what I'm saying is, there's little that's canon about Kingdom Hearts χ, there's nothing huge I think will happen with the whole time difference mentioned in Kingdom Hearts 3D (and if it does, it's not going to explain anything here}, and there might be a chance we will play it here, but it won't be a huge deal story-wise.02:22, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Finally!
This is is. The only canon (currently) thing in this entire game. I know, we're not supposed to use KHInsider, but I thought it should be here now. So, here it is.

Chirithy:

You've really shaped up as a Keyblade Wielder, haven't you.

Uh-huh, you're looking really fine, too!

I think it's time to tell you, then.

Before my master, He who created me, disappeared,

He bestowed His six followers with new names, and gave five of them a tome of prophecy.

These five followers, who were to become the Foretellers, read the future written in the tome.

Apparently a passage written on the last page shocked them.

"The war in that place will lead to the defeat and destruction of the Light. The World will be enveloped in eternal Darkness."'

In order to save the future World, the five Foretellers thought to use the power hidden in the tome of prophecy.

That's the power you are all using now.

Through the cards, you are using the power of the future to try and protect the light from the darkness, and avert the future enveloped in darkness.

Also, as you know, even though the five Foretellers share the same goal, they by no means share the same will.

So, you mustn't lose sight of it yourself.
