Remember that PC browser social game announced at last year's Tokyo Game Show alongside KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX-? If you don't, it's no surprise; after the beta test, there has been literally no information on the title, until now. Check out this gameplay trailer of KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi], featuring various worlds like Agrabah and Dwarf Woodlands, the Darkside boss battle and the all new rendition of Dearly Beloved!
The open beta will be available soon, so look forward to it!
We've subbed the video for you with translations provided by the lovely goldpanner, which you can also read below:
Once upon a time, everyone across the realm lived in peace and harmony, bathed in warm light.
However, everyone coveted the light, and before long they began to fight over it.
As they did, darkness was born in everyone's hearts.
The darkness spread and spread, swallowing up the light and many hearts.
The World was covered in darkness, and it disappeared.
[Text above the guy at his Awakening]
The Keyblade
The power of the light to drive back the darkness.
AGRABAH: A palace city surrounded by a vast desert
Aladdin: Who are you? I haven't seen your face around.
Aladdin: Are you from another town?
[Blue writing during gameplay]
Aladdin was passed out in the desert after being attacked by Heartless.
Let's pay a visit to the town he lives in, Agrabah.
DWARF WOODLANDS: Home of the seven dwarves
Doc: Today was just a normal day...
Doc: But then those black things from before appeared where we work.
Doc: They said they would all go get rid of them and ran off, but they haven't come back.
[Yellow writing during gamplay]
Let's follow Doc into the deep dark forest,
To search for his lost dwarf friends.
WONDERLAND: A wondrous land full of strange happenings
Alice: Excuse me, have you seen a rabbit go by?
Alice: I'm chasing after it.
[Pink writing during gameplay.]
After falling down a rabbithole, you find yourself in a strange room.
The only way out is a tiny door. Let's check it out.
Cat thing??: My name is Chirishii.
Chirishii: Don't worry, I'll stay with you from now on and teach you all sorts of things.
[Yellow writing]
Strengthen your Keyblade
Collect material items and build up your Keyblade!
[Yellow writing]
Card Draw
Get Attack Cards that boost offensive and defensive strength!
[Yellow Writing]
Card Synthesis
Spend cards you come by on strengthening cards you like!
[Red writing]
A Raid Boss has appeared!
[I dont know who that white nun person is meant to be]
???: You must join forces with friends who share the same will and walk the same path.
???: You need to connect your power!
[Blue text]
Adventure through Disney worlds, defeating the Heartless that have appeared in them,
And take back the light together!
Chirishii: The darkness has also appeared in places other than here.
Chirishii: So, there's a world I'd like you to visit for me.
Chirishii: The door to the outside world has already been opened.
Let's begin your story.

Is it bad that I sort of don't want to play this game, because I think Xehanort might track me with the "X"?
Anyway, in all seriousness, it's nice to see something about Chi again. I was wondering when we would, and this looks pretty nice. I especially liked the pop-up-book at the end. It was cool, and a nice tie to 3D, I think.
I'm also very interested in the Heart Platforms again, and what some of these people were talking about (like in Radiant Garden). And I have to LOL at all the Keyblade wielders fighting Darkside. And people say there are too many Keyblade wielders now and whatnot. XD
This is looking a lot better than I thought it would, and though I know it's not canon and just a click to win game, I still can't wait to play it! :D Please come here, game. Pretty please.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS X[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]
Looks good, and like the new Dearly Beloved.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]
I longed for more information for KH Chi, but unfortunately I someday read that it would be Japan only. -sigh-
Trailer looks awesome nevertheless of course, I really like the style. Can only hope they someday bring it to us aswell.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]
I want that cat to come back in Kingdom Hearts III
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]
IT'S SO CUTE I'M GONNA PUKE! 8D
I do hope this is made available internationally at some point.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]
THAT CAT
THAT CAT WAS NOT IN THE BETA
IT'S SO CUTE OMG
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS X[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]
I have been wanting more information on Chi for so long! Its so cute! The cards look great, the Disney characters are so cute, and that little cat thing ;w;
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS X[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]

and looks to be quite the timesink
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS X[chi] Gameplay Trailer![/PLAIN]
The day when I can launch our KHx gallery full of stuff I ripped from the beta is coming~

Honestly, this game looked completely pointless to me when it was first unveiled. But after seeing this, it actually looks like a lot of fun! Too bad I won't be able to play it though since it's Japan only...

Honestly, if the game is anything like Bravely Default: Praying Brage, all you'd need to do is make an account at wherever the game will be hosted in order to play.
Open beta coming soon, so look forward to it!
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
Sweet.
Also, I'm guessing that white-robed guy at the end before Darkside appears is someone at the top of the Unicorn group order thing, judging by the peculiar headgear. Perhaps everyone in that battle was on that team?

OH MAN i almost wrote 'white unicorn nun guy' but then i didn't :C i bet you're right!!
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
unicorn leader, perhaps?
the other thing that tips me off to that identity is how he says "You must join forces with friends who share the same will and walk the same path."
iirc there's 5 factions or whatever, and the unicorn is one. "same will" and "same path" being said by someone with a unicorn-shaped hat seems to indicate that he is the leader of that faction, or at least high up in the ranks.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
I'm actually excited for this game.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
I'm worried that the open beta will be Japan Only

Considering that many members on KHI, including myself, were able to play the closed beta (none of us live in Japan), I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

We played the closed beta just fine. All you had to do was make a Yahoo JP account and voila!
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
Aww the cat is so adorable. I'm loving the new arrangement of Dearly Beloved.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
These are the five factions btw:
Unicornis (Unicorn)
Leopardus (Lion)
Anguis (Snake)
Vulpes (Fox)
Ursus (Bear)
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
okay, so factions was the right word
wasn't sure of that
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
I was part of the Ursus faction during the closed beta. I wonder if you can choose or if you'll just be randomly assigned.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
i wanna be in leopardus or unicornis
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
Looks interesting. But I'm really hoping this game isn't canon to the story. It probably isn't, but there's this worry inside of me that the story would evolve to say that somehow Aladdin is now this guy who is eternally young and has lived ever since the Keyblade Wars :P

It's been confirmed quite a few times that this is not canon. The game itself even introduces itself as "a fairytale from long ago"
Just think of it like a bedtime story about some iconic story, but the parent replaces it with a child's friends and family to make it memorable.

Well, that's a huge relief. Now I have absolutely no problems with this game whatsoever.

This looks interesting and like it would be fun. I don't quite get how the Battle system should work but I guess that will be explained in the game.
So to does that already played the closed beta was it fun? Or are you not allowed to talk about it yet?
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
Omg...this game is cute as hell lol. Seems like a great game to pass time with *U*mhm, the battle system kind of reminds me of Re:Com with the cards but I could be wrong...that battle system has always confused me..
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
Sorta disappointed that this is a browser game, it would've made a very fun and simple (and addicting) 3DS or DS game.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
Given Square Enix's love for porting, it might be possible in the future.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
I've been looking forward to this game for a very long time, hope to see it soon. Love the customizations.

There wasn't an NDA as far as I could tell, but the fact that it was a closed beta open to a small group was enough reason for us to stay quiet for a while. I think we were the only site that did that, so sorry for keeping things from you. Though with the trailer out now I guess we can start talking about it!

It uses cards, and you build a small deck out of them but the similarities essentially end there. Of course cards of a higher rank are stronger, but the battle system is ultimately just pointing and clicking.

So any chances there will be an editorial or feature discussing how the closed beta played? I'm quite curious and would love to hear about it.

This trailer makes me want a true canon console Keyblade War game. The five factions really interest me.

[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
This is ever adorable. Can't wait to give open beta a shot. Was that Darkside battle possibly in an area of Radiant Garden or a new world you think?
OH MAN i almost wrote 'white unicorn nun guy' but then i didn't :C i bet you're right!!
Love it~

It's most certainly Radiant Garden.

Please rip the priest Moogle, IDK what else to call him in those adorable duds >_< Don't get me wrong, the cat is cute, but so help me if that moogle isn't made into a plush, I'm gonna have to make on myself OR make the coat, buy a real Moogle plush, and make him wear it!
I was part of the Ursus faction during the closed beta. I wonder if you can choose or if you'll just be randomly assigned.
Perhaps they'll put a hat on you and the hat will talk and tell you which of the four houses, er- I mean...five factions you'll be in.
So to does that already played the closed beta was it fun? Or are you not allowed to talk about it yet?
Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong thing, but when the closed beta started, some member of KHi posted a whole 2 hour walk through of them playing the beta lol. I think that was the beta...
We'll whip something up then!
Wasn't that long video the beta? Or was I wrong when I watched it and was super jealous of not making it in since I didn't make the whole Yahoo JP account.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
There were a lot of people taking screenshots, blogging and even streaming it. Idk, even if it's just a meaningless social game, if they wanted everyone to see it, they'd have done an open beta, you know? I didn't really agree with letting everyone know if they didn't want them to...
That probably was the beta though. It's been closed for months so all we have is a little cutout from the site as the Moogle wasn't actually in the game.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]

She can't rip it because the beta has been closed for months and this is like it's first appearance I think.

Darn, you're right. That was the beta but I don't recall seeing the Moogle either. I was hoping perhaps you saw something that wasn't in the stream. If that Moogle is in the game though...I'm gonna go nuts lol

Darn, I was hoping it was in the beta but alas. It's first appearance was on the original Chi site, the Moogle was just posted in the corner of the page but this is the second time I can recall seeing it, this time in motion.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
lawl Cool vid. Moogle in white mage outfit <3
The gameplay was interesting to see, seems like you can skip battles entirely. Also like that storybook/world selection screen it had.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
is this game going to be japan only. i thought we were past this age of country restricted games.

I think fighting enemies is optional except the ones that are guarding your path since in order to move to other parts of the world you have to face them. They are generally Large Bodies from what I saw in the beta and they are ridiculously powerful so really, skipping battles only hurts you since there is no way to beat them without hefty grinding.

It's not going to be country restricted in the sense we can't play it all, its just it may never be translated so it will be confusing for many people to play.

Yeah, enemies were optional in the beta. There were stronger enemies located in the final area of each world, but those didn't initiate battle unless you made the first move. That may or may not have been changed for launch though. Only Dwarf Woodlands had the Large Body; Agrabah had Armored Knight and Wonderland had Tornado Step.

There is no "getting" it. You can't buy it or install it on your computer. It's a F2P browser game. You just log into an account and play it online.
[PLAIN]Re: KINGDOM HEARTS ?[chi] Gameplay Trailer + Open Beta Coming Soon![/PLAIN]
You can choose your factions.
Is anyone up for joining the same faction on KHi? It'd help since we get to work together anyways, being able to talk to the partners on your faction makes sense lol xD
