[JTD95 1,107]

Famitsu Weekly has just released, featuring a 2-page spread on Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, with special emphasis on Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-.

 

Eight screenshots are featured in this spread, including some which were previously revealed by Weekly Shōnen Jump, the Kingdom Hearts 0.2 BbS AFP opening cinematics, and the Famitsu's Twitter account. Two new screenshots show gameplay of Aqua wandering in the Enchanted Dominion section of the Dark World, with her surroundings full of thorns. One of these screenshots features a Darkside waiting ahead. The screenshot featuring Ven shows a much clearer color difference from his original outfit.

A previously revealed render of Aqua is also available, along with a new render of King Mickey Mouse holding Starseeker.

 

The article also mentions the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX PS4 collection.

She alone will conquer the deep depths of the Realm of Darkness …

 

Follow-up Report:

 

Aqua has fallen into the Realm of Darkness for the sake of her friends. In this all-new episode, she will chase after the truth of this battle.

 

(blurb by mickey)

 

When he visited the Realm of Darkness, Mickey talked with Aqua, who was lost. In this realm of being isolated and struggling alone, what kind of encounter did they have?

 

(key)

A second meeting in a familiar world!?

 

As she traverses the Realm of Darkness, Aqua steps into a world resembling the motif of Enchanted Dominion (of Sleeping Beauty). There, Aqua sees the figures of Terra and Ven, the friends that she struggled alongside in order to become a Keyblade Master. Is this some kind of trap, or is it...!?

 

(blurb)

As Aqua's hand neared Terra and Ventus, a large thorn stopped her. The way the world continued to change made it seem like it had its own intentions.

 

(purple blurb)

Aqua

One of the Keyblade Masters. She is strong-hearted and serious, with a calm demeanor, but her heart is gentle, and she loves her friends very much. In order to save her best friends, she fell into the Realm of Darkness.

This is one scene from the opening movie. As the first in the [KH] series to use the PS4, improvements are obvious in the beauty of the cinematics.

 

(blurb)

In [KH0.2], they are utilizing the same gameplay system that we'll see in [KHIII], and you can enjoy battles where the characters move smoothly. Exhilarating action is just ahead!

Those look prett cool

 

In the picture wit hDarkside are some sprakles on the right side... Maybe for more parkour or just decoration?^^

[Joey_XIII 135]

That sneaky Darkside! :-D It's beautiful! Can't wait!

[Hero of Light XIV 2,381]

Wow, these look incredible!

 

That Mickey render tho. Now THAT'S the Mickey Mouse we all know and love. Looks like whatever issues there were with his mouth have been corrected, though I guess they may have just given him a less cheerful look in that one scene with Yen Sid to show the seriousness of the situation. Hopefully this just means that we'll get to see him provide a better range of expressions and emotions, as well as working that trademark smile.

 

And that Ventus thing is curious. Do you think they might have made a mistake with his clothing pallet or could it hold some kind of significant meaning? I really hope it means something, otherwise it'll be yet another dumb mistake related to HD Ventus that I'm just going to have a hard time moving past (still not over that Station of Awakening thing).

 

All in all though, looks promising. Can't wait till we get to play this beauty!

I'm guessing the sparkles will be used to free run or "parkour" through the vines. Aqua will probably have to slide under some of the vines and jump over others or do some acrobatic movements to move through them...So I think that's why they're there.
