KHBbS Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, V Jump article.

[DChiuch 5,773]

The January 2009 issue of V Jump magazine has included an article on Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the upcoming Kingdom Hearts title for the PlayStation Portable. This article, which has surfaced online, focuses on the worlds of Disney Town and Radiant Garden, and discusses Braig's role in the game in detail. He fights with Terra at some point, and also captures Master Xehanort. Kingdom Hearts Insider have uploaded a scan of and translated this article, and both of these can be seen below.

Thanks to Kingdom Hearts Insider.

The past forms of the Organisation's big shots are revealed!?

 

New worlds that the three protagonists Terra, Ventus and Aqua will visit are confirmed!! And there are characters you might recognise there...!!

 

---

 

Braig

 

He's interested in Keyblades, and kidnaps Master Xehanort. Is this Xigbar's past body?

 

---

 

The old form of Hollow Bastion: Radiant Garden

 

Is this where the vanished Master went to?

 

The form of Hollow Bastion, which appeared in "KH" and "KHII", before it was destroyed by darkness. Here we find men who resemble the members of Organisation XIII, as well as the Master who disappeared.

The two gate guards are...?

You might recognise the two men who stop Ventus when he tries to enter the castle...!!

Aeleus: You can't enter the castle right now.

 

They look just like Xaldin and Lexaeus from Organisation XIII!!

Their clothes are different, but their faces and weapons are the same. Were the two of them workmates in the past?

This way of speaking? [braig uses Xigbar's trademark ????? when speaking]

It seems like Braig's been interested in the Keyblade for a while.

Braig: I'm saying the Keyblade would suit me better.

 

He looks just like Xigbar from Orgnaisation XIII!!

The Organisation's Xigbar has an eyepatch, scars, and a fierce expression, but...

Master Xehanort captured!!

???: Master Xehanort!

BATTLE vs BRAIG

 

Braig's method of attacking is sniping with his guns. It's just the same as the fighting style we saw from Xigbar!

 

[right hand screenshot]

 

Braig snipes from hight places. Is running around all his target, Terra, can do?

 

[left hand screenshot]

 

As you'd expect, getting hit by Xigbar's short-range attack would be dangerous even for Terra!

The town around Disney Castle: Disney Town

 

The town is in the middle of a festival!!

 

No matter how you look at it, the man who trespasses during the town's "Dream Festival" is Pete. What kind of mischief is he planning...?

 

---

 

Queen Minnie

The queen who protects Disney Castle.

 

Dewey, Huey, Louie

Donald Duck's nephews. A trio of troublemakers.

 

Captain Justice

A big suspicious man who suddenly appeared in the streets. He calls himself an "ally of justice", but...?

 

---

 

[top right screenshot]

 

A visit from the hero of justice!

Pete appears in the town looking very strange...!! Could it be that Aqua, the girl with the short blue hair, hasn't realised what he's plotting yet?

Captain Justice: Monsters? Ah, sorry, that's not my area.

 

[bottom left screenshot]

 

An evil hero appears too?

Captain Dark, who wraps himself in a black costume, also appears. He talks to the lone protagonist Terra with a lot of attitude.

Captain Dark: Follow the rules, rookie.

 

The King's rival Pete is in disguise!!

In the series' past, Pete the cat would help the Disney villains with their cruelty!!
