-A 2010 release has finally been decided upon, hasn’t it. Nomura: At the end of the year is ‘FFXIII’, and I think you’ll be able to enjoy ‘Birth by Sleep’ in January.
-By the way, about when in January?
Nomura: Hmm… I hope it’s earlier. It shouldn’t be as late as February, so please wait just a little longer.
-Board game-type screens, and battles where Disney characters are co-operated with and the like; many exciting scenes have been appearing. It seems a great many elements have been put in, doesn’t it.
Nomura: No, no, what we’ve unveiled so far is only just the beginning. Particularly this time, where we displayed a test-play of multiplayer, there is no downloadable content, but, it is packed full of more than enough things to enjoy playing. You can also play that board game-type content in multiplayer.
-How loaded… will it fit on one UMD1?
Nomura: According to the staff, it should fit somehow (laughs). Well, we’re still making it, or course, so we don’t know for sure how much it will take up.
-In the pictures, the new samurai-like character that appeared was a point of interest.
Nomura: He’s the master of the three protagonists, isn’t he. As for the voice, I was able to get a voice actor whom I was keeping in mind for when a suitable role came up, but I unfortunately couldn’t ask to do any work, to cover it.
-Speaking of voicing, Master Xehanort’s apprentice finally spoke…
Nomura: That voice was… my own.
-Huuuh?!
Nomura: Of course that was a lie (laughs). It’s a surprise, so please let me keep it a secret.
-That must mean there’s some kind of gimmick about it, doesn’t it. Moving on, we were also finally able to play as Aqua, weren’t we. In the test play, our eyes popped at how her clothes were gaping open at the back.
Nomura: Ah, we plan to revise that, because the design is changing. Because it’s turning into an over-sexy version, at the moment.
-Perhaps there will be some people who think that’s a pity (laughs). And so, what is the state of development?
Nomura: It’s progressing satisfactorily. This time, because of the order of release dates, there’s are parts that must wait, and there were contents that I haven’t been able to show you yet, so we will put out best efforts into the winter event.

Multiplayer Information and the Springing Birth by Sleep
‘Peter Pan’ and ‘Snow White’ worlds are also unveiled! ‘Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep’: an action RPG in which players can enjoy the story of three heroes, Terra, Ventus and Aqua. The original story that unfolds in Disney worlds, a characteristic of the series, is powered up even further. With old favourites such as ‘Peter Pan’, and first-time appearances such as ‘Snow White’, players can enjoy every bit of the charm of a Disney production to their hearts content. This time, we unveil information on these worlds, the battle system, and something that has been kept secret until now: multiplayer!
"You shouldn’t associate with a petty pirate like Hook"
"I think my friend dropped that. Could you please leave it with me?"
In Peter Pan’s world, Neverland, Captain Hook is plotting something again. It also seems like Peter Pan is looking for something. The blue crystal that Tinker Bell has in her hands seems to be a jewel; perhaps this is what he is searching for. In a new film clip, it was called a ‘star fragment’…
"You guys don’t want the pirate’s treasure!?"
"That will be your treasure."
The ones Terra is speaking to are the Lost Boys, appearing for the first time in the series. They are boys who have gone astray from their parents, and do not age. At present, they are buddies who take orders from Peter Pan, and pass the time having fun in Neverland. What kind of role will they play, we wonder?
"If they’re a friend of yours, Ven, then we wouldn’t expect them to do such a thing."
"We were changed by Snow White’s purity."
"If you can heed my wishes, I’ll let you use this mirror to find the whereabouts of Xehanort."
In Snow White’s world, Ven and Aqua co-operate with the seven dwarves for the sake of Snow White. On the other side, it looks like Terra is doing dealings with the Queen, who is after Snow White’s life. In the same world, in the regular storyline, the three quarrel: an unexpected development?
Aqua, who has been sucked into the Queen’s mirror. Here, a battle with this magic mirror which baffles by using many kinds of attacks, disappearing at will, and making clones, unfolds. Amongst the lined up masks, the real one must be there…
Individuality Abounds in Shoot Lock technique
Shoot lock, a strong technique that fires a powerful attack at a locked-on enemy. Activate Shoot Lock mode by holding down the L+R buttons, and lock on to the enemies by working the analogue stick! In that state, hit the circle button, and a refreshing, special move that can wipe out many enemies is released. Let’s showcase each of the three’s different Shoot Lock techniques!
The Shoot Lock technique that Terra uses is called ‘Star Burst’. Countless bullets of light are fired from the keyblade, and shoot the enemies down one by one! If the number of lock ons is maxed, extra input commands become possible. In Terra’s case, bash the circle button, and a finish move is unleashed!
The Shoot Lock that Ven fires is called ‘Photon Charge’, a move which slashes the locked-on enemies over and over. Max the number of lock ons after slashing, and a circle button icon is displayed. Successfully hit the button, and it flows into a finish move in which pillars of light rise up.
Aqua, who has many showy moves, has a Shoot Lock called ‘Rainbow Shower’, which involves shooting seven-coloured light. The seven-coloured light, fired from the keyblade at once, chases after the enemy. When piled up in the middle of a shrinking circle, hit circle button with good timing, and as a finish, even more light zooms around.
Multiplayer Using Wireless LAN Function!
Using wireless LAN function, you can enjoy multiplayer! Enter ‘Mirage Arena’, a world for communication use, and your character becomes an armoured warrior, and you can enjoy various contents. And, it is still undecided whether we will be able to formed parties ad hoc for connected battles, through the PS3.
Choose which contents to play with on an exclusive computer terminal. And, multi- and single-play are completely compatible. The items gained, and the degree of character growth can be carried over.
In the Arena, one of the connected contents, co-operate to defeat enemies. By rescuing trapped comrades, and reviving those fallen by mashing the circle button, the co-op component is fully loaded.
