Hello again, everybody! Oathy here with even more news from Jump Festa 2008. These newest trailer and gameplay translations are courtesy KH and FF Blog, a Japanese video game fan who never fails to bring us some great news straight from the floor in Japan.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days In the Closed Megatheater Trailer Summary The Organization members walk in front of Roxas. Xigbar: "Whoops." Saix stands before Roxas. In front, you can see a corridor of darkness. Saix: "Be careful." Stepping into the corridor, Roxas seemingly warps to Twilight Town. The mission "Defeat Clock Tower's Darkside!" starts. A mission is given to defeat 4 bodies of Heartless on the way. On defeating the Darkside... Axel: "Roxas, go on." Roxas: "Axel..." Suddenly Heartless attack Roxas from behind. The 14th member of the Organization attacks the Heartless and wipes them out. The 14th member smiles. Axel and Roxas both look perplexed. The 14th member begins to take off their hood -> END (the face is not shown) There was also a multiplayer mode! I played Axel in the Twilight Town area. We cooperated in fighting the Heartless and completing the mission of defeating the Darkside. At the end, players were ranked in order of given damage. Incidentally, I got second place. Roxas was last. Being able to use an infinite amount of Potions was a beginner option which made it easy. Overall... I'm not so confident yet about the camera work.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (rough translation) In the Closed Megatheater Besides what was already written, the rest is from memory, so please excuse me. Please report any incorrect information and feel free to leave a comment. "Distant Past... Sleep gives birth to a hidden fate" A scene is shown with a conversation between Terra and Ven. Terra: "Sometime before, didn't you save me?" Ven: "After what we've been through, we're friends, so..." Terra grins at Ven and places a hand on Ven's shoulder. Terra: "Thanks, Ven." Afterward, in the desert (from KH2FM+'s Secret Movie), the old man (UEM) confronts Terra. Xehanort: Did you really think you could grasp that last glimmer? The wall between the light and the darkness have exceeded one another, creating the original me, and here you are waiting for me. (While Xehanort is talking, he opens one of his hands in greeting, enraging Terra.) Terra: I have a friend. Terra summons the keyblade with his right hand. Ven meets Xehanort at the Olympus Coliseum. Ven: "Who...? I've met you before..." Ven is surprised. Xehanort: It seems you have lost something. However, unless what you have lost is put back into your hands, it will be gone forever. Once you obtain it, hold on to it and understand the truth! The old man's hands begin to glow, while Ven looks at him with fear and confusion. ~Battle Scene~ Ven becomes playable Battle technique: "Aerial Slam" Mickey defends himself with the Keyblade. The keyblade disappears... Donald and Goofy, along with Mickey's wizard master (Yen Sid,) watch him. Mickey looks at Yen Sid and summons his Keyblade. Sleeping Beauty - Maleficent (with her pet raven) looks at the castle covered with brambles/thorns. Terra is behind Maleficent. Their eyes meet and Maleficent cackles. The scene switches back to the desert (Place of Gathering). Ven is facing off against the Dark Soldier, and knocks off his helmet. However, his face is not shown. The scene soon switches to Terra holding an unconscious Ven, with Master Xehanort looking desperate and apologetic. Xehanort: "One who has immersed himself in the darkness cannot wield the Keyblade. He is a demon who has been taken by the darkness. Please correct my mistake..." Destiny Island Terra is looking out from the coast towards two boys who are playing/sparring on the beach (young Sora and Riku). At the same time, Ven is in Twilight Town watching the horizon. He is looking down, and appears to be sad. "I don't want to be depended on...you are my 'friend'. Just erase me."

Wow, lots of new stuff here. Hopefully as JF2008 goes on, we'll get a few more impressions of the trailers and of the gameplay! Be sure to keep checking back--we're updating around the clock.
