Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep scans - Image 1
 

For those of us still in the dark about the newly-announced Kingdom Hearts game for the Sony PSP, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, then prepare to get enlightened through the scanned pages of Famitsu. Sit back and relax as we get you up to speed on what's new with the video game series that has two legendary franchises teaming up for an entirely new RPG experience.

So, what's Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep really about? The Kingdom Hearts title for the Sony PlayStation Portable will be about the exploits of three new characters - Terra, Ven, and a third that's yet to be named. Each character will have his own scenario that revolves pretty much around them, told in their own perspectives.

What makes this an exciting bit of news is that all three are drastically different from each other, from their appearances and personalities to their abilities - which makes each scenario feeling like an entirely new Kingdom Hearts game altogether. Tai Yasue, co-director of Birth by Sleep, joked that players may think that the game itself was created by three development teams, with the gameplay experience of one scenario totally contrasting from the others.

If you take a look at the scans, you'll notice that Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep has a command menu system that's similar to that of the two previous titles on the PS2. Tetsuya Nomura, director, confirms this by saying that of all the upcoming Kingdom Hearts titles, Birth by Sleep will in fact be closer to the originals, in terms of combat and action.

However, he also mentioned that it will also take from the Chain of Memories game, with your commands also taking the form of a card deck menu. A bit contradicting, but with three different characters with three different playstyles, it could be that Nomura was simply mentioning that of one character, while the scans are of that of the other characters'.

Youichi Yoshimoto, co-producer, also have away hints about the game's Character Growth system. While he didn't spill the entire beans, he did mention that the development team was looking into a few prototypes where players would have to hook with other players' PSPs. Multiplayer in Kingdom Hearts? It's possible, but Nomura had already confirmed that only the Nintendo DS title would have actual multiplayer, so it could be an entirely different gig.

That's it for this Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep update. Check back here for more upcoming info regarding Square Enix's collaboration with Disney, and enjoy the scans!

Those are 358/2 half days screens...

QJ already published those same screen shots

 » no its the right game
Actually, 358/2 follows the story of Roxas. Don't confuse (Is it Terra or Ven?) the Roxas lookalike with the real Roxas. The screens are purely from Birth by Sleep.
