Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Trailer Report
The new trailer starts out with a scene where Aqua, one of the three protagonists, is making a charm that looks like it’s made from a sarasa shell, and gives it to Terra and Ven. Then it shows a new character which looks very samurai-like. We see Terra and Ven taking a “Master Test”, are they taking a test to become Masters? Master Xehanort is there as a “guest”. We see a scene where he is telling something to Terra. At this point in time it seems that he is respected by everyone.

This is the Master Xehanort we’ve seen before. He seems to be a be crazy here.
Now there is a montage of scenes, where we see what definitely looks like a board game. Cinderella throws some dice and we see it roll across the board. Nomura has mentioned before that “The growth system will be very strange, something like a minigame...” so perhaps this is it!? We see Vexen in a white coat with Xaldin and Lexaeus in guard type uniforms. These look like scenes from the Organization XIII member’s human lives.
In the SE booth there are also videos of multiplayer, as well as scenes from Neverland and Castle of Dreams.

You can see playing multiplayer with three people. In Neverland, we can see differences from what we’ve seen in the series to date.
We also get to hear the voice of the masked Keyblade wielder that we’ve seen before with Master Xehanort. We also see Ven becoming armored and riding something that looks like the Keyblade from KHII FM “tamarishi shinen” [don’t know English name, if there is one.] and riding in space with Stitch. There were a lot of very surprising scenes. At the very end it shows the release date as January 2010.

A strange person wearing something like looks like a bike suit. The voice sounded male...
At the Keyblade graveyard Xehanort faces off with Terra, Aqua, and Ven. The word “Keyblade wars” comes up.
We have our first glimpse at some Birth by Sleep footage, several clips of the game being shown in the PSP Games Showcase. Seen are clips similar to the scenes from the Kingdom Hearts II secret endings as well as some battle clips.
