This. Was. AWESOME.

 

I was like OHEMGEEEE! I was so hyped seeing Roxas and Xion. Even if it was just for something like 2 seconds. And the way it ended was purely epic. 8D I'd actually love it if there was a BBS Volume 2...who knows, maybe? I mean, I did kind of wonder if according to what Nomura said, there'd be one more new game besides KH3D, right?

 

One more thing, will get the full new secret ending soon?

Just be patient ^^ We'll get all the awesome stuff if we just wait and appreciate the great people getting this stuff for us

 

 

so if the trailer info gives proper hints, I can assume this is the timeline (for now, and correct me if I'm wrong please)

 

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (Episode 0, 10 years before KH1)

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Volume 2 (Episode 0.5, covers the 10 years leading to KH1 and possibly covering plot holes by going through KH1?)

Kingdom Hearts (Episode 1)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (starts 3/4 through KH1 and leads up to KH2) and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (Starts directly after KH1)

Kingdom Hearts II (Episode 2)

Kingdom Hearts Coded (directly after KH2)

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (after Coded and leading into KH3?)

Kingdom Hearts III !!! (Episode 3)

Did anyone else realize AQUA WAS WIELDING WAYWARD WIND!

 

lol, ikr, from the first final mix trailer, the scene where Terra saves ven from Eraqus, he also has Ven's keyblade.

Wait, so are we certain Birth by Sleep Volume 2 is an actual GAME and the trailer's not just teasing us?

I'm not sure if we're completely certain until Nomura officially announces it, but he has stated that besides KH3D there's another "mystery game" to be released. Since Birth by Sleep Volume 2 was stated in the trailer, that's all we can assume at this point

Crowd unlimit is epic

Is there anyway to subtitle the secret ending? I don't know japanese

Just happen to be in the mood to translate. The following is the transcript + translation of the "Birth By Sleep Secret Ending Complete English [HD]" uploaded by the best site kh13.com. Aqua doesn't actually speak anything unpredictable, but here it is!

 

Format goes:

Speech start time~speech end time

Speaker: speech in Japanese

Speaker: speech in English

 

 

1:49~1:57

????????????????????????????????

Aqua: If I follow the Wayfinder, surely I will return to the original world someday.

 

2:30~2:31

??????...?

Aqua: What...!

 

3:18~3:20

?????????????

Aqua: What is happening?!

 

3:44~3:45

????????

Aqua: That is!

Part 2? I can't really see where it'd fit in, unless of course it was current time. I'm still excited, no matter what time it's in^^

So does this mean there's only kh3d( I refuse to say it's real name ) and bbs v2 left untill kh3? Or is there one more?

 

Edit: What's that castle?

Shank you very much.

@Riku'sAngel: It's Castle of Dreams that has fallen to darkness.

Birth by Sleep Volume 2. wow! Hope it's not coming on the 3ds too. (can't afford it)

So I guess this is the last game before Kingdom Hearts III? Great. Looks like this game will finally cover what happens between Birth by Sleep and the first Kingdom Hearts.

 

what makes you think that birth by sleep volume two will be after kh2

if u thoroughly looked at the trailer than u can c that it still implies aqua after she was trapped in the realm of darkness and is still trying to figure out wtf is going on

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (Episode 0, 10 years before KH1)

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Volume 2 (Episode 0.5, covers the 10 years leading to KH1 and possibly covering plot holes by going through KH1?)

Kingdom Hearts (Episode 1)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (starts 3/4 through KH1 and leads up to KH2) and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (Starts directly after KH1)

Kingdom Hearts II (Episode 2)

Kingdom Hearts Coded (directly after KH2)

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (after Coded and leading into KH3?)

Kingdom Hearts III !!! (Episode 3)

 

For Birth by Sleep it is either 9 - 10 years or 10 - 11 years before the events of Kingdom Hearts I.

 

Chain of Memories begins in the middle of the final cutscene of Kingdom Hearts that includes Sora, Donald and Goofy.

 

358/2 Days begins at the end of Kingdom Hearts not 3/4 into it.

358/2 Days begins at the end of Hollow Bastion I.

 

Re:coded begins at the very end of Kingdom Hearts II after the Ending and the Credits but before the last two/three cutscenes. This is confirmed as Re:coded's Ending ties into the last cutscene Sora, Riku and Kairi are seen in Kingdom Hearts II.

 

Kingdom Hearts 3D is after Re:coded and Kingdom Hearts II. But we do not know how long after Re:coded and Kingdom Hearts II it is. And we do not know how long it will be between Kingdom Hearts 3D and Kingdom Hearts III.

I agree but how does that mean that 358/2 Days starts after KH1? 3/4 is just a generalization made since 358/2 Days technically starts directly after Sora becomes a heartless, which is not quite the end of KH1 but definitely past the halfway point.

i seriously want kh3 to include the characters from final fantasy XIII like lightning and snow! and more of tifa and other final fantasy characters

sora should reunite with aqua ven terra namine axel xion and roxas. something prob will happen like roxas and ven merging and fighting vanitas again!!!

The secret ending will be reuploaded some time soon? I ask because it seems like it goes a little slower than the usual...aqua sounds like "weee willl meeeeet agaiiiin" if you understand what i try to say thanks anyway

i got final mix

kh birth by sleep volume 2 will be the best

:):);) kh bbs 2 is the best:(
