Additions include the brand new 4th and 5th Districts, the Chain of Rewards, and the return of Clean-Up of the Month. In addition, a greater emphasis was given to community events such as the magazine and the Mirage Arena, and the entire 1st District has been dedicated to new and inexperienced users. The hope is that it will become of great use to not only new editors, but experienced and inexperienced editors alike.

After several years of planning and drafting, and two months of constant discussion, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki, in co-operation and coordination with its sister wiki, [http://www.kingdomhearts.wikia.com The Keyhole], has launched the first issue of its new '''[[KHWiki:Magazine|magazine and podcast]]'''! Set to release every three months, the magazine is packed full of information and fun, from the latest ''Kingdom Hearts'' news to current events here and at The Keyhole, to fun puzzles and challenges. The podcast, released in conjunction with the magazine, is packed full of fun discussion from our favorite staff members. It's all drafted, edited, and published by your fellow editors on both wikis. From both wikis, we truly hope all will come to read and enjoy the new magazine and podcast!

| A bit early, but we're not complaining! The E3 trailer for ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'' has been released! Check it out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUC4I64jotk here!] We now have confirmed release dates for North America, Japan, and Europe audiences!: December 2nd for North America; October 2nd for Japan; and December 5th for Europe. Although ''Kingdom Hearts III'' isn't expected at [http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/06/final-fantasy-xv-kingdom-hearts-iii-wont-be-at-e3 E3], we aren't completely left in the dark. Indeed, squeezed in at the end of the ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'' trailer is a brief scene. Two individuals are shown, discussing something about the "lost masters." Although leaving us with perhaps more questions than answers, this teaser only increases our eagerness for ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''!

According to the article, audio recording (voice, music, etc.) of ''HD 2.5 ReMIX'' has concluded, and Nomura is thinking of new scenarios for ''x[chi]''. The game is slated for release in 2014, although 3 months have passed with no specific time-frame apart from the year.

| As many of us know, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series manga has not seen an official English release since TOKYOPOP released the second volume of the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' manga back in 2008. After losing the license, there was rumor of manga publisher Yen Press to pick the series up. This is the case! As seen from Yen Press's official ''Kingdom Hearts'' manga [http://www.yenpress.com/kingdom-hearts-by-shiro-amano/ website], they plan to release the following titles for English fans: ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. Also to be released is a book of Shiro Amano's artwork for the series. The two volumes of ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' are expected to be released this month. Although a bit more expensive than most would like, it is great to see the manga series back in publishing action!

| As you may have read, I've created coloring sheets to promote local launch events for ''Dream Drop Distance''. We suggest printing out at least six or so of each coloring sheet and head to your local game store. Ask permission first, so you can hand out these in the store. A trivia sheet will also be available if you'd like to help run a trivia contest at your local store, and you can talk to the store staff about if it would be okay to hand out prizes (please use your own KH supplies for this). Enjoy your copies of ''Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance''!

| With the recent flurry of news for the North American, European ''and'' Australian releases of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Dream Eaters have been named and new pictures have been released! Wandanyan has become the Meow Wow, personally I would have preferred Wonder Meow but you deal with what you have... since you can rename Dream Eaters, that's what I'll be doing. Chaos Snake makes a return as a Link Attack and the [[Pricklemane]]'s special attack is called "Hammer Throw". Release dates have also been out from a long time ago:
| |
| *July 20th for Europe
| |
| *July 26th for Australia
| |
| *July 31st for North America
| |
| | |
| And an interview with Tetsuya Nomura in the ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' Ultimania is summed up in the following lines:
| |
| *There are no plans for a Final Mix for KH3D
| |
| *There are no plans for a continuation of Birth by Sleep however there is potential.
| |
| *Nomura wishes to see a Pixar World in ''Kingdom Hearts''.
| |
| *Multiple titles are currently in production with the Osaka team (The team who made Birth by Sleep and 3D).
| |
| *There will be an announcement in the near future regarding the next title.
| |
| | |
| And according to the Ultimania, we will see a few familiar faces in the new Organization.
| |
| | |
| Hopefully "near future" means E3 2012 or TGS 2012... we can only hope. Until next time...

| It's been a long while since the last post, but so far we have seen what has come to us from the Jump Festa trailer which can be seen on the [http://www.square-enix.co.jp/kingdom/3d/ official website]. New worlds such as [[Country of the Musketeers]] and [[Prankster's Paradise]] have been announced among others. A Tron: Legacy World that is yet to be named shows Rinzler about to battle Sora and a mantis Dream Eater that Riku battles. They also get an entire new wardrobe from the early [[Sora (Space Paranoids version)|Data Form]] with the much more modern style of the movie. Along with this information, more members of Tetsuya Nomura's other game, The World Ends with You, appear in this entry of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, [[Shiki]], [[Beat]] and [[Joshua]] appear among others. More information from the V Jump magazine of January shows yet another world, [[Symphony of Sorcery]] which is a world entirely based off Fantasia, and is the first time we see [[Chernabog]] since ''Kingdom Hearts'', it also features [[Mickey Mouse]] as a sorcerer wearing [[Yen Sid]]'s hat.
| |
| | |
| In merchandise, there is a brand new bundle for the series's 10th anniversary featuring [[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]], [[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]], [[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]], 12 Postcards representing the history of the series visually, a protective case for the 3DS and the box with a special 10th anniversary design, you can check it out [[Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Box|here]]. Along with this there is also a special limited edition, Japanese 3DS available to buy with the game pictured below. And finally, a [[Wandanyan]] plushie is also up for sale at Square Enix's e-store, it costs ¥3,800.

| Following the highly anticipated Tokyo Game Show 2011, a ton of new information and images have surfaced regarding ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. As always, a closed-theater trailer was shown, this time featuring [[Sora]] in [[Traverse Town]]. As in previous games, [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] are assisting him as party members. The camera apparently has not seen a tremendous amount of improvement since ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', and the "DROP" gauge from previous trailers has also disappeared. Traverse Town has also been reportedly fleshed out, expanding far beyond just the three districts. Importantly, however, the game is focused on the mysterious "world buried in sleep", as well as the [[Mark of Mastery]] exam for Sora and Riku. The trailer ends with a scene featuring [[Xehanort]] and [[Braig]], suggesting the game's connections to ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.
| |
| | |
| A playable demo was featured as well, showing Riku interacting with Quasimoto from the world based on ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''. In this demo, we discover Riku's new double-jump ability. Those who have played the demo say that the combat has improved immensely from ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', focusing less on animation-focused commands and more on fluid, smooth battling. Both Sora and Riku have access to something similar to the [[D-Link]] as well: the ''Dual Link'', which grants different abilities and bonuses based on the party member.
| |
| | |
| The game has also been confirmed to have slide pad compatibility, meaning that it will take use of the slide pad add-on to the Nintendo 3DS, which itself utilizes a second analog stick.
| |
| | |
| The game carries over a motif in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series: Sora searching for a friend, this time Riku. Instead, however, Sora finds [[Neku]], the protagonist from ''The World Ends With You'', another game series created by Square Enix, now incorporating a third franchise into ''Kingdom Hearts''. Neku makes a reference to the "Reapers' Game" from his original game, saying he has only forty-three minutes to live unless if he wins this mysterious game. Sora and Riku also are donning new clothes; Sora's shirt has gone to black, whereas Riku is wearing a very light off-white shirt. Riku's hair has also gotten much shorter since the end of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. These can be seen in the poster in the gallery below.
| |
| | |
| A new enemy has also been introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'': [[Dream Eater]]s. Dream Eaters are new original entities who, just as their name suggests... eat your dreams! This is especially significant in a "world buried in sleep." Two bosses are already known to exist in the game that appeared at the end of the demos for Sora and Riku: a "boxy" enemy with long arms that function as stretchable weapons and a winged flying boss, respectively. There are not the only new creatures, however! Sora is accompanied by two creatures bearing the new crossed heart symbol in this game: a plump blue dog-like creature and an as-of-yet unseen "squirrel-y" creature. Riku is also accompanied by two of these beings: an eccentric, colorful bat and as-of-yet unseen unicorn.

| Hopefully this flood of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' information will break through the drought of ''Kingdom Hearts'' information in the last several months.

| The series director has stated that Disney has said that game has a "Japanese feel" in its storyline. While he did consider simplifying the storyline, he was encouraged to keep the complex storyline to compete with other franchises, such as ''Final Fantasy''. Like its basic plot, the game apparently will be designed in a manner that keeps the player thinking and guessing.
| |
| | |
| The game is about 40-50% complete, and the developing team is currently working on the scenarios in the Disney worlds, which Tetsuya Nomura was somewhat concerned for in being clear enough to understand. He also states that several individual mysteries, both from past games and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'', will be clarified in the game. The next item on the development agenda is to start recording voices.
| |
| | |
| Tetsuya Nomura also described a desire to make sure the game is not too drawn out in length and pacing. He plans to introduce a new system to make sure that the pacing is not weakened with lengthy explanations. Finally, he says that Sora fights alongside strange companions in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'', perhaps suggesting new allies, and that a secret movie is being developed.

| Following an emergency roundtable on the IRC, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki has completely revised the way it does affiliations and affiliation requests. From this point forward, interested sites, wikis, channels, etc. should not approach the wiki by contacting one of its major administrators. Instead, we now have a new '''[[KHWiki:Affiliates/Requests|Requests for Affiliation]]''' page, where formal requests to become affiliated with the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki shall be made. This helps us keep track of our affiliation requests, as well as standardizes the procedure.
| |
| | |
| Be sure to keep spreading the word of the new independent ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki out to interested sites, wikis, and channels! We look forward to gaining more affiliates. In fact, several potential affiliates were discussed during this emergency roundtable. More information on these will be announced at a later date.

| Today is a momentous day for our [[KHWiki:Affiliates|Affiliates list]]. The ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki has just partnered with the [http://niwanetwork.org/ Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance (NIWA)]. NIWA is a collection of Nintendo-covering wikis that are all independently hosted, much like the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki. NIWA's wikis and principles stand against faceless operators and the control of a wiki by those who do not truly monitor and lead it. NIWA spans over twenty wikis and continues to grow as the largest independent wiki alliance. Furthermore, while the Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance (SEIWA) is being constructed under similar principles, we are very proud to be affiliated with NIWA.

| Sadly, the new information regarding ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' we were promised by GameInformer magazine was proven to be false at the end of E3. While the trailer from several months ago was shown at the gamers' meet, no new information, screenshots, or footage was released. Hopefully we can expect new information to be released at the Tokyo Game Show 2011 in September. Until then, the news drought scorches on....

The ''Popular Gaming'' magazine officially confirmed that the game will be featured at E3 2011. While it is still unknown just what will be shown or presented at E3 concerning the game, we will hopefully receive new information on this upcoming and mysterious chapter in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. E3 2011 will begin on June 8<sup>th</sup>, 2011, so there's not much longer to wait! All released information will be reported in the Trinity Archives as soon as they are released, so be sure to check back here after E3!

| Greetings from your executive editor! My apologies for the slowness of news; the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series is at a bit of a slow point in its history between the releases of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D]]'', but hopefully news will begin to surface regularly again soon. I'd also like to announce that, after this period of slow news begins to lift, the Trinity Archives will begin to take an approach to not only cover news regarding the wiki, but also news regarding the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series in a greater depth than before. Be sure to check back often for news updates!

| More importantly, voting for possible logos to represent the Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance has been opened, so be sure to give us your votes or original logo submissions! For those who do not know of it, "SEIWA" is a planned alliance between multiple independent wikis, such as the new independent ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki, that is currently in the developing stages. As we get closer to finishing our post-Wikia audit, more news about the creation and growth of SEIWA will be released. We are very excited to pioneer such a huge project, so please give us your support and spread the word!

After reaching such a milestone, many of us wondered how 1,000 other ''Kingdom Hearts''-related topics would come in the future (or were actually in existence!) that would have their own article. Well, the wait and wondering is now over! Today, user and administrator [[User:DoorToNothing|DoorToNothing]] created the 2,000<sup>th</sup> article of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki, [[Geo Impact]]!

| Greetings from the writers of Trinity Archives. We hope that our North American and European readers and viewers are enjoying being able to play ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', after nearly half a year of waiting; we sure know we are!
| |
| | |
| However, just a week after the game was released in North America, the rumored ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'' has indeed been confirmed! The game is known to feature all of the formerly exclusive contents of the North American port of the game, as well as several new features, such as [[Master Eraqus]] in his [[Keyblade Armor|armored]] form and a new secret movie! The game is slated to be released at the beginning of 2011. Be sure to keep up with the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki's article on the game for all the updates!

| | |
| Several forums and discussions are taking place across the wiki regarding ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', particularly in the [[Forum:Twilight Town Library|Twilight Town Library]]. However, remember that the talk pages of the articles are not to be used for this kind of theorizing, social, and speculation-based conversation.

This is to take over [[User:Hecko X|Hecko X]], who announced that he retires as bureaucrat, and is glad to have BebopKate as she has been an excellent contributor and administrator since her inception by him two years ago. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hecko for all the work he has done for this beautiful Wiki, and hope that whatever future undertakings he takes be laced with success.

| As for our good ol' BK, with her as Bureaucrat, I hope the wiki will strive to be a more friendlier place; less conflicts and less troubles will allow for good editors to contribute good articles. BebopKate has an excellent track record, and I personally think of her as the KHWiki's loving matron. Let us pray that BK perseveres with the additional burden on her shoulders and I hope we can see a hard-working and agreeable community with her on tow in the future.

| |
| | |
| Similar to the Dragon's Neck Coliseum of the ''Final Fantasy'' Wiki, the Mirage Arena is a popularity contest between characters, worlds, places, items, weapons and/or gameplay elements. Two links are placed head-to-head with each other per week, and at the end of four months (i.e. sixteen rounds), all the winners of the previous rounds will be pitted against each other in the one and only [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Mirage Arena/Joint Struggle|Joint Struggle]].
| |
| | |
| If you want to go in and be part of the fun, you must have at least seventy-five quality edits in the mainspace, which would be all of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki's articles! To do so, you can hit [[Special:Editcount]] and type in your username to see if you've hit the mark. Of course, other factors, like how productive those mainspace edits are, will be taken into account as well when verifying the winner.
| |
| | |
| Come join in the fun; if you haven't already hit the mark, get editing!

| With the coming of E3 came announcements of new titles and demos for many video game series, including ''Kingdom Hearts''! Tetsuya Nomura and the Square-Enix booth announced the production of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D]]'', as well as gameplay and an English trailer for ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''! ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' is a remake of ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', but ported to the Nintendo DS! It also is set to include new features, such as multiplayer gameplay, the [[Deck Command (KHBBS)|Deck Command]] system, and a new secret movie! ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' is a game set to be released on the soon to be released Nintendo DS 3D, capable of three-dimensional gaming! While the placement of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' timeline is very questionable and debatable, it is known that it is being developed by the same team of experts that produced ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and that we will have the chance to not only play as [[Sora]], but [[Riku]] as well!
| |
| | |
| | |
| Also at E3 were demos of the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', along with the newly released English trailer! New English screenshots are also going to start pouring in to the wiki immediately, so keep your eyes out! Also, seen in the new trailer is the new boss that has been promised: [[Young Xehanort|another Xemnas-like Unknown]]! Just a reminder, the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' is set to have new features included that were not present in the Japanese version, such as new Keyblades, new abilities, and Critical Mode.

Unfortunately, the interview refutes earlier information that stated ''Kingdom Hearts III'' is currently underway, but does contain some interesting tidbits, including the fact that the North American release, as per other ''Kingdom Hearts'' games will have bonus features not found in the original Japanese release, including at least one extra enemy.

Eddie Carroll has been the voice actor for the lovable [[Jiminy Cricket]], both in ''Walt Disney'' films and in all of his appearances throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. He has been Jiminy Cricket's voice actor for over thirty years, having provided his voice in three ''Walt Disney'' films.

| In a recent interview, series director Tetsuya Nomura has stated that there will be three new Kingdom Hearts games in the near future. Two of these will be spin-offs to the main series, and the third will be the long awaited ''Kingdom Hearts III''! That's right, all of you fan-fiction-creating fans, it has finally been announced! Even better, Tetsuya Nomura has stated that ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be the end of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series; there will be much more to come! One of the two spin-offs is expected to be released this year, but ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be released until ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' is released, the current project of Nomura's team.

| After a large spot of newslessness, Square-Enix has launched not just one, but ''two'' official sites for the upcoming ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' in North America and Europe. The first of these is the long-awaited [http://na.square-enix.com/khbbs/ North American site]. Currently, it is bare of any new information or screenshots, though it does have a very beautiful and creative display. Expect this site to update with the North American screenshots, gameplay information, and trailers of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.
| |
| | |
| The second site that Square-Enix recently launched is something new: a [http://www.kingdomheartsbbs.com/ Uninversal English site]. The site links to information on the game for different countries in Europe, as well as the United States. This port site is assumed to contain links to the European sites once they are launched.

| Lastly, word of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'''s worldwide diffusion has begun! Square-Enix has officially announced the game for both North America and Europe, and screenshots have been released from the North American version of the game.

| With ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' a week away from its release in Japan (yay!), now would probably be a good time to remind our old editors and new editors alike to take a look at the wiki [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Spoiler Policy|Spoiler Policy]] regarding new games. We're all excited, but remember that not everyone wants to know every detail of the game right away, especially when it comes to plot and character elements. Please be mindful and respectful of wiki members that wish to remain unspoiled, especially in non-article areas like the Forums and Talk Pages. Thanks!

| In the December 2009 issue of Game Informer magazine, the Top 200 Games of All Time list was released, according to the magazine. ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' ranked at 79th, and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' ranked at 130th. Both games ranked higher than such popular titles as ''Assassin's Creed'', ''Call of Duty II'', ''LittleBigPlanet'', ''Pong'', and ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. The ''Final Fantasy'' games, which are heavily related to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, also did very well, putting ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy XII|Final Fantasy XII]]'' at 112th, ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy IV|Final Fantasy IV]]'' at 80th, ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]'' at 43rd, ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]'' at 15th, and ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]'' at 8th. The list was topped with the original NES game ''The Legend of Zelda'' at the top of the list.
| |
| | |
| The magazine also had a small preview article of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. Unfortunately, no new information or images were released. However, Game Informer reports that the PSP game's North American release can be expected around mid to late 2010.

| Nearly four months after the sad and unfortunate passing of Mickey Mouse's voice actor, Wayne Allwine, a new voice actor has finally been announced for the famous Disney character. For future voice acting, including upcoming installments in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, '''Bret Iwan''' will portray the voice of the infamous big-eared mouse. Again, may Wayne Allwine rest in peace.

| Hi, folks. We're making some changes to our User Page policies since some folks are taking advantage of our more lax policies. To make it short and simple, if you have ''any'' images that are not ''Kingdom Hearts'' related on your userpage, we are giving you a week to save them or store them away elsewhere. On Thursday, April 9th, <u>'''all''' non-''Kingdom Hearts'' images will be removed from the wiki</u>. It will still be okay to put non-''Kingdom Hearts'' pictures on your User Page, but they must be stored or hosted on another website, such as PhotoBucket.

| Talk boxes and user boxes shouldn't be affected by this, so worry not about your colorful cubes and shiny bubbles. ^_^
