Here is a bit of info for YOU!

» Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Tetsuya Nomura interview. The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation magazine has included an interview with the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. Here, Nomura discusses the English version of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, revealing some of the game's additions. Kingdom Hearts Media have translated the interview, which can be read below.

Q: The North American version of BBS is to be released soon? A: Yes, it will be released on September 7. Even though we've added many things, the story has changed a little. Mark Hamill will be voicing Master Eraqus, and the voice of Master Xehanort is Leonard Nimoy, from Star Trek. A new mysterious enemy has been added. It's terribly strong, so winning is an achievement. You meet it twice, and the debugger had to try twenty times before defeating it once.

Q: Is it stronger than the Vanitas' Sentiment? A: We took a survey, and some people thought it was a little stronger than the Vanitas Sentiment, but others thought it was far stronger. Like the Lingering Sentiment of KH2FM+, its attacks are hard to predict, unlike Vanitas' Sentiment, which has movements that are fairly easy to read. The new enemy will use nefarious tricks.

Q: Is the new character also involved with the story? A: As with the Lingering Sentiment, at the time of KHBBS I can't reveal that.

Q: And the other major changes? A: Mega Flare proved too strong and violent, so we've weakened that ability. In addition, there were complaints about the reward for defeating Vanitas' Sentiment, so you will now receive his Keyblade as a prize. Such a modification is a fun novelty that fits well in KH tradition.

Q: Is there a new secret movie? A: No, sadly there is not, because we didn't have additional time. Instead, look to Re:coded to prepare you for the secret movie. Please look forward to that, as NA gets no mobile content. We considered many things, including KH:Days in the making of the secret movie.--Edgeshadow

So this doesn't devolve into an edit war, here is the source for it: http://www.ff-reunion.net/kh/2010/06/25/khbbs_dengeki_nomura_interview.

It's in Japanese, does anyone want to take a stab at translating it?

―　北米版「KHBｂS」の発売が近いようですね。 野村氏：9月7日ですね。いろいろ追加要素もあって、ちょこちょこ変わっていますよ。エラクゥスの声はマーク・ハミル（Mark Hamill）さん、ゼアノートの声はレナード・ニモイ（Leonard Nimoy）さんに担当していただいたので、「スター・ウォーズ」と「スタートレック」の夢の競演になっています。あとは、謎の敵キャラが追加されています。恐ろしく強いので、まあなかなか勝てませんよ。デバッカーから「2度と会いたくない」、「20回やってようやく1回勝てた」などの意見が出ていました。

ETA: Tossing it into Google Translate gives us this: "Mark Hamill's voice is Erakuusu (Mark Hamill) says, the voice of Xehanort Leonard Nimoy (Leonard Nimoy)"

KH13.com has english info on the main page--My Keyblade + Your face = pwnage 15:52, July 8, 2010 (UTC)Chihuahuaman

This sounds like the closest thing to a crossover with Star Wars and Star trek (many people get confused between the two) --Blix1ms0ns 14:06, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Updates for the NA site

When is the NA site going to be updated? Does anyone know? Oh,how the sea calls 23:09, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Whoa, for a second I thought the release had been pushed off until Oct 9... Ah, crazy European date formatting... --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 22:04, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Why should there be a difference in month formatting?Oh,how the sea calls 19:55, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? Are you asking why the US and Europe have different date formats? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 21:28, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Playstation Network

Several trailers have the PSN logo on them (good news for PSP Go owners), but on the actual site, it claims that it is UMD only. I don't know what to think, because the PSN also says there is no confirmed release date. Oh,how the sea calls 05:23, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

On E3 they had a quick BBS scene on a PSP Go so either PSP Go owners will get to playit or Square Enix is just pulling all of our legs, but i however have no need to worry because im gonna just buy the entertainment pack bundle thing.--My Keyblade + Your face = pwnage 21:43, July 17, 2010 (UTC)Chihuahuaman

Recently they said there is no infrastructure mode.Yet the PSN logo remains.204.211.185.107 15:57, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Special/Collector's Edition, Pre-Order Bonus

Should it be mentioned in the article that Germany and France are recieving special editions of the game? It includes a new cover art, 2 art prints, and a 48 page artwork book. The KH Final Mix article mentions it's special edition, and the Days article mentions the slipcover case that comes with the Gamestop preorder. EDIT: UK is now confirmed to be recieving it. Also the "Special" tab on the NA Birth by Sleep website has been revealed to be information on a pre-order bonus: a decal kit to make it look like the Japanese Special Edition Birth by Sleep PSP. --BreaktheIce16 (talk) 7:31, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Only France and Germany get that? Grrr.....still, I pre-ordered Birth By Sleep, and I live in NA, so I'll get....decals? Rip-off! I wouldn't both pre-ordering it if it wasn't Kingdom Hearts and I was sure most-all copies sold would have been pre-ordered. So, I've pre-ordered it, and now I'm waiting....HELP! What should I do while I'm waiting!? Key of Destiny 13:36, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Well KoD i think that while you are waiting you should watch the BBS english preview's and play the other KH games that you have, however, if you mean what should you do as in buying it, go ahead with the Pre-Order, Gamestop said that we would only get stamps with KHD Pre-Order and we got an awesome looking reversible cover (they cheated meh!) so they are most likely going to do the same thing with the decals and BBS. Hope that helps!

PS: My only problem is that i reserved bundle and don't know if i will get decals for it to look like the Japan bundle KH BBS PSP............0_0--My Keyblade + Your face = pwnage 22:16, July 23, 2010 (UTC)Chihuahuaman

Now it's been confirmed that Austria, Switzerland, Nordic countries, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Cyprus will get the Special Edition. It's still unknown if it will come to NA. This should definitely be mentioned in the article! --BreaktheIce16 (talk) 22:24, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Really? Unspecified for James Woods?

Lying Memories - I'd rather we just skip the formalities. TALK - The Darkness in men's hearts, drawn to these cursed medallions; and this Heartless, a veritable maelstrom of avarice: I wonder, are they worthy to serve Organization XIII? - Lying Memories 19:50, July 29, 2010 (UTC) If we know for a fact that James Woods is in Birth By Sleep, we already know that he's voicing Hades. Not asking for people to edit it, I just don't know why Nomura feels he has to hide that part from us. We already know.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? For the love of God, not this again. It doesn't matter how obvious it is that Woods is voicing Hades. "Obvious" doesn't cut it.That part isn't directed at you, LyingMemories, I know you understand that. It's directed at the flood of people I know are going to whine about this now that you brought it up again. Nomura isn't necessarily hiding anything, there probably hasn't been any comment on it because it's just that obvious.

Lying Memories - What's your problem!? You both...think you can do whatever you want. Well, I'm sick of it. Go on, you just keep running! But I'll always be there to bring you back! TALK - So you really do remember me this time... I'm SO FLATTERED! But you're TOO LATE!!! — Lying Memories 05:39, July 30, 2010 (UTC) sigh Why is it that whenever I still say, I'm not asking for it to be changed, I get ATTACKED AND BERATED. I'm asking a question basically, why couldn't Nomura just tell us James Woods' role since everyone really knows it? Christ on high, read where I said "Not asking for people to edit it". Though i guess I should've added to ourselves we know it, so I don't get fucking yelled at for asking a god honest question.

Donald Duck Good morning, Your majesty. Unspecified James Wood isn't it obvious who he's the voice of you don in someone to comfirm who he's played if he's played that part since 1997 and everyone can guess he's will be Hades.

WheelyRampage - Replay. TALK - Tournament decides. I like how the title says it's the final trailer, when we've still got the Launch Trailer XD

Jason Dohring possible VA?

WheelyRampage - Replay. TALK - Tournament decides. So, browsing around I found an internet radio interview, with Jason Dohring and was suprised to hear about this Disney video game he was working on. It's obscure, but hey, sounds a LOT like BbS to me. Interviewer: The most obvious question ever - what are you working on right now, and is there anything that we should be looking for soon that you're going to be in? Jason Dohring: Okay, right on, so it's pilot season right now and I've been going out - I think I went out every day last week, and I had a couple of them that are moving forward so I should have - I'm hoping to have one in the next three weeks or whatever? I hope so, and I'll definitely let you guys know of... and I'm doing a... there's a... uh... video game for Disney that I've been working on for like the last three and a half weeks? And yeah, it's, like, really cool, because I have scenes with Cinderella and Snow White and, uh, Chip and Dale, because it's like a Disney... it's like a dark Disney video game? And it's sold 500,000 copies already in Japan a month ago. Yeah, it's really a big thing, so... but, yeah, it's cool, because I get to play a hero, and I'm really learning stuff about acting just from doing voiceover, which is incredible, like, wow, man, I'm really understanding what it's going to be like with a type of role like that. Just what his morality's like, and standing up for anybody, and having one drive, and it's just to do good and make things go right and, you know, I'm really enjoying it. You'll find the radio broatcast here ^_^ 14th of Feburary http://www.blogtalkradio.com/vampradio/blog/2010/02/page/1 Anyways, I'm out =D

right Wheely! it could be Terra's VA cause Jesse Mcartney as Ventus and Willa Holland as Aqua, but i don't know who this guy is. so thanks for the update Wheely!!!--My Keyblade + Your face = pwnage 14:03, August 20, 2010 (UTC)Chihuahuaman

Last Episode Question

ShadowXemnas - Nothingness...is...ETERNAL!!! TALK - Turn to Darkness! I've got a burning question sparked from a post on the KHI forums...Does the Last Episode have its own save file, or is it part of Aqua's story? I really need some clarification on this....

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA it has its own save file
