Kingdom Hearts: Coded (Mobile)

As many of you already know, Square has indeed revealed not one, not two, but THREE new hand-held Kingdom Hearts titles, all of which surmount to the new project we have heard so much about.

Rather than trying to describe all of these at once, we’ve descided to tackle each title one-by-one and explain it to you in pieces. We’ll start with the insignificant title – Kingdom Hearts: Coded is for Japanese mobile phones (Western phones aren’t anywhere near powerful enough to handle it). The game centres around a digitial Sora in Destiny Islands and the Disney Worlds beyond, awakening for the first time and going on a new journey that supposedly never happened.

Timeline-wise, the story actually begins after KH2, with Jiminy making his way back to Disney Castle. Upon arrival, he looks through his diary and notices a quote he himself never wrote there: “We have to go back, to heal their pain.” After showing this to the King, he transforms Jiminy into digital data and sends him on a mysterious journey through the eyes of Sora, explaining mysterious events of the past that link into KH1′s storyline, and also the King’s past.

A trailer was shown in the Closed Mega Theater (pictured below), which basically showed the game’s intro (comprised of what I mentioned above) and some scenes with Sora on Destiny Islands. Battle scenes are shown, which suggest the game revolves around a puzzle theme, but with new combos and the like for Sora to use. The trailer ends by showing us the scene from one of the recent images with Sora and Mickey in Traverse Town. Mickey says “On that day, I was here… Let us speak truthfully.” and the video ends.

No word on when Japan would see the title, but like Before Crisis and the upcoming FF Agito 13, don’t expect to ever see it leave the country. As for the development team, Nomura is officially directing, and Hajime Tabata (director of Before Crisis and the critically acclaimed Crisis Core) is co-directing.

Please note that I have cropped all images myself from the logo one-sheet and the recent Famitsu issue. I have made sure that all media is related to the correct title.
