My Kingdom for 358/2 Hearts and a cover!
I’ll admit, that title was confusing. However it seems that the Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days box art has officially hit the nets, and I thought I’d update you guys!
Kinda unsurprising, seeing as we’d seen the artwork before, but nevertheless it’s looking really great. Hopefully the west will get the same, or else something of equal quality. Only time will tell, I guess.
In other news, Neverland is a confirmed world in 358/2 Days, Robin Atkin Downes (Luxord) and Shanelle Gray (Larxene) will be officially returning to the English cast for the game and various videos are available on Youtube. Enjoy!
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days will be releasing on Nintendo’s DS across Japan on May 30, 2009. No official word on the English release yet.

Whoa!, I made the first comment, yay:)
I love how they put xion on the cover after keeping her under some serious wraps for the longest time
Wonderful cover. My personal favorite is probably the contrasts
I love it. Riku looks almost to old. xD
And Its funny to Reza. You would think she would be hidden a bit?
Riku looks…evil. And hey, isn’t Xion sitting on that tree in the Destiny Islands?
im liking that cover and well japan may 30 then like august 30 how about that one for NA guys i dont know
that is an awesome cover. i love it as well.
That cover is the wallpaper on my PSP!:)
That picture is from 358/2 site (just saying) neverless awsome cover nourma always has great cover art.
nourma said next week he is making a important KH anouncment!!
Hey guys, there is an article on the internet about an interview with Tetsuya Nomura. For those of you that don’t know who that is, that is the man that MADE Kingdom Hearts! In the interview he talks about Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Coded. Click on the link below to check the interview: http://www.khinsider.com/
Hey Do any of you guys have an account on GameSpot.com? If so, can you tell me how to write a review?
Sup guys, been a while. Anyway, it’s getting closer. Pretty psyched for this stuff
What do all of you guys think the big news are? Personally I believe they will announce KH3 as a title. Since some info on BBS and/or 358/2 days doesnt fit in as big and special news I believe it sounds most fair. And it might be becasue Im an optimist, but I dont really think its some bad news either.
im pretty sure its just a release date. i dont think anything for KH3 will be released until after BBS and 358 are out.
well i dont know what could nomura would say but it wont be bad news as far as im concern if they are to be bad news then :(
but i vote for good news :) hahaha well it has anything to do with a kh3 announcement ike eagl said it would be the greates day of my life well not the best of bests but 1 of the bests hahaha but yes good cover already not liking the release date and probably it will be a release date maeby with good and bad news
Please work.
I keep thinking my comments are posting, but then they disappear!
cant wait for KH3!!!!!
i just think he is going to say BBS japan release date…it would not be bad news either he said “we are going to nake a special anouncment next week look forward to it” why would we look forward to bad news…so i doubt KH3 he’s probly not even done writing it and has so much work to do…man nourma needs a break i give it up to him.
?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿
I doubt that the announcement will be about Kingdom Hearts 3 but, I am a strong beliver that one day there will be a Kingdom Hearts 3.
If he wouldve said we got an announcement for where KH is going, then i would think that it would be an american release date for 358/2 days or even for BBS, but he said major announcement. Major usually means theres gonna be alot of people liking and not liking the announcement.
Quite frankly, id rather not get ahead of my self, but i think i will be an announcement of “KH3″, either that it will be the last game, when they will start production, or maybe even going to multiple systems
im gonna agree with reza in this one since he didnt specify we really cant sauy wether its good or bad
but we obviously hope its good of course
unless someone here wants a bad news race your hands jajaja
i think it feels fit for KH3 to be the last one but i dont want it to end.
Hope kingdom hearts does go on xbow, like they put the new ff on xbox i just dont think xbox deserves KH and doesnt look right on it.
Yeah, if Tetsuya Nomura makes a Kingdom Hearts 3, I believe it will be for PS3. Kingdom Hearts 3 is one of the reasons I got a PS3.
agreed. it really depends on how bad xbox is doing at the time, because nomura will give it to them if he things he can make a large profit by puting it on xbox. otherwise, it will most likely stay with Ps3, becuase its allways been for sony, save for 358.
check out the video’s on heartstation.org really good video of 358/2 gameplay and interview with jessie mcarthey(voice of roxas)
Damn those were some bigass heartless they were fighting, and they weren’t even bosses for the most part. It’s like a Shadow with an overactive pituitary gland or something. Cripes.
lol gland disorder your refering to gigantisum lol…the bosses are gunna be big.
Hey guys I got a link to an article about that special announcment from Tetsuya Nomura. WARNING: you guys are going t be upset about this. http://www.khinsider.com/
That wasn’t funny. I really thought that was true. Damn it! That’s the worst joke I’ve ever seen done. *sighs*
-_- wow wasent even funny if you really respect kingdom hearts you would not do that. got me pissed of.
Also they messed up the interview.
Yeah, that was really messed up of them.:(
Hey, guys, Play-aisa.com is accepting pre-orders for a Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days protective case for the Nintendo DSi. It is said to cost about $14.90. Click on the following link to look at an image of the case: http://kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=kh358/artwork/kh358dsicase.jpg Click on this following link to go to Play-aisa.com to pre-order this case: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-b6-77-1-49-en-15-Kingdom+Hearts+358obl1questr0ke2+Days-70-3bkt.html Man, I sure do put news in these forums often, don’t you guys think so?
that was the worst april fools joke they had nothing else to do what up we are waiting here for something important and they come with that come on
yep worst joke EVER!!
it was a completely pathetic joke, but not as bad as the phony legend of Zelda movie April fools day joke,that was the worst, but this one is really bad
how many new members do we have? *counts then stops* Ah, I dont care! Welcome everyone! ^^
well, off that april fools subject i think that will not be the cover nomura usally makes hollow graphic cover’s but maybe he will make that design hollow graphic you never know.
That graphic looks alot like Kingdom Hearts II so, I don’t think that will ever be the cover for Kingdom Hearts III. If you notice, Tetsuya Nomura makes a new logo design for every new kingdom Hearts game, besisides, that was such a fake logo that was only intended for an April fools joke.
You guy’s have any new theorie’s on what BBS title mean’s?
not me. im pretty stumped. i think when the title is revealed, its going to be something thats not as literal as everyone was taking it. like birth is going to mean a revelation or something stupid like that. and when three differant interpretations of each word comes together its going to make sense, but so far, i havent been able to come up with anything that made sense. maybe that plus the content of hte game. idk
i dont know maybe it has to do with reincarnation when you go to sleep (die) you are reincarnated (birth) and ven dies or gets erased and comes back as roxas.
A stupid theorie in my opinion.
Well, lets look at it this way. The room that sora was in at the end of CoM, wasnt that the room of sleep? Sora, Goofy, and Donald, all 3 of them went to sleep, as Namine worked her magic in order to put their “chains” or links of their memories back together. I guess you can consider that as being born, because before hand, Sora knew nothing of the life he was going to have. When he awoke, he was a whole new person, though he was the person that he was before CoM, he was different from when he woke compared to when he went to sleep, same with goofy and donald.
So birth by sleep could quite frankly mean getting a new life or memories from one of those sleep chambers. The only problem with that is that Namine was not born yet…we think. Namine was created near the end of KH, and since BBS takes place a good 10 years before KH, Namine could not play with peoples memories. Thats not to say that Namine is the only one to be able to use this kind of power, but even DiZ, ansem the wise, to believed this to be a one of a kind power
Well yea, and in KH2 when you examine the sleep pod’s sora say’s they have been used before. but i like a surprise and can’t wait to find out about the game, i want to play BBS more than 358/2 i might get to play 358/2 but on my little sisters DS, plus its pink but hey as long as i can play it im good.
has anyone played spore?
So, finally beat soras story for recom last night, and is now working on Rikus. I absolutly love the new combos they put in for Riku, it is quite amazing
I beat Riku’s story in one day. It takes a lot less time to complete his story; it’s kind of sad actually. But the difficulty of the bosses is a little harder.
yes the difficultys are bigger and well nothing here i got no new theories
haha but im kinda loco(crazy) todays days hahaha
Riku’s side was more enjoyable, but i was just playing KH2 and when you go into namines room pres s select for first person view and look at the drawings, axel standing at the door at yen sids tower? weird and the libary the table has three circles one circle has heartless symbol next one has org 13 symbol and roxas draws the or a crown symbol in the third, i dont know why but, i think sora’s chain symbolizes somthing.
sorry for double, but i wonder why in KH2, Axel says “see you in the next life”, Roxas:”yea you too”, but then axel says “well just because you have a second life”..? wonder what thats means?
ALright, lets see if i remember this..
to keyblade, the 3rd symbol that was drawn is the unbirth symbol, not sure if that has been confirmed or not, but that is what we take it is, as far as yensids tower, dont remember that, not saying it isnt there, i just dont remember, and really dont feel like playing for a 10th plus time to see just that.
Now to the comment that Axel made to Roxas, that is in reference to Roxas being soras nobody and will soon join with him. THough, now that i think about it, i think that conversation came when axel and sora fought the dusks together? In that case that would be just cause maybe they thought sora would be reborn but axel cant just cause hes a nobody.
I agree, Rikus story i a little easy, it does take out the whole deck building from sora, thats what makes it easier i think. Org, the card duel system, you know the first enemy you came across that is needed a 7 card break? even the org member i fought was only a 5 break
RE:COM was ok, i was not a big fan of the cards but learned to like it.
i liked recom. it was good, but, the sevens come against ansem in the end. his highest is a 7. if i remember right.
and it was indeed when axel fights roxas in the basement of the mansion. and it was reffering to roxas joining with sora, but that axel has no one to join with.
Ok, so that was fake? =P
And when Is the DSI bundle coming out? Jw again.
Actually, the third symbol was a crown. Anyway, any of you heard Uatadas new album? Its actually really good and there is a chance both KH songs will appear as bonus tracks. I really need to hear some great news soon, haha
yea, thats what i said a crown. and the DSi came out 2-3 days ago in usa.
yeah a crown was drown and its the same as soras necklace and since hes the key barrier so that just might be why
2 symbols of the enemy and the symbol of the hero
i think
and well i never liked recom but like somebody said i also learned to like it a bit anyway haha but yes even if a havent had the time to end rikus part so i say its very easy to the gameplay with sora on recom
sorry for seconds but i meant what everyone said the card system stuff not the gameplay i ment the way of cards in riku we dont have to make the deck even sometimes its a bad deck haha
I ment the Kingdom Hearts DSI
Most likley the day 358/2 releases.
hey guys could you breif me why was it that riku was the real chossen
when the game its sora having those strange dreams to get kinda trained so i dont get it if sora gets does dreams and riku is choosen why is he having the dreams for and then riku gets choosen
i know that you guys said that for the light that came out thats how sora got the key but i still dont fully concorde with the story
Riku was supposed to be the chosen one but he had to much darkness in him. He can wield a keyblade but just isnt the master. also what strange dreams the ones in the begining of KH1 i suppose. He had them because he was about to become the keyblade master. but that dosent make sense because Nomura said it happened at the last second, maybe Nomura was trying to trick us. Sora and Riku did eveything together, which means Riku shouldnt really have much more darkness in him. we will find out in BBS hopfully.
I dont really know. But Sora was going to be a different wielder before the change. So maybe its something all wielders go through before they obtain the keyblade.
yea, but if terra choose Riku why did he get the keyblade 10 years later…?
He got a different keyblade, one from the twilight realm. He was always destined to a wielder, he just happened to choose a difficult-ass path to go about doing so.
Sora was intended to be a wielder as well although I can only speculate as to what realm was initially set aside for him. The dreams of the Dive to the Heart are for Keyblade Wielders or those about to become wielders, note Roxas’ loss of previous memory in Ansem’s computer world and how he had his Dive to the Heart when he came back in contact with his true weapon.
Now I would also point out that it makes sense that Riku and Sora would both be wielders, I just think Riku was more mature and prepared for the responsability earlier since he was older, for example he saw the keyhole in the door of the secret cave before Sora could. Sora was just not ready yet.
However at the World That Never Was once Sora and Riku both started wielding their keyblades, their timeless friendship allowed them to be in perfect sync. Wielding their powers in tandem which was the ultimate goal of them being chosen I think.
My I have a summary of what is being disscused?
we were disscussing about the keyblade masters, how sora and riku got there keyblade.
but riku in the end admitted that sora was more powerfull kinda he knew that soras progress was amazing
and well rikus path looks a bit like terras i think if its the way i think it is
and well who knows but i think that sora didnt see the keyhole earlier maeby for something else not just that he was younger and there is not much difference since riku is just 1 year older and its just that riku is more serious haha
Like I said, it’s a question of maturity, not physical age. Riku was more resolved and aware of his place in the world he was in.
Man, we need some new info here…………..
Agreed with org.
The wait is almost over, but I believe we’ve figured out just about as much as we can. Nomura always likes to throw us a curveball, theres always some variable we can’t account for so patience is all we can really hope fpr right now.
I dont know if this was talked about. But Riku was VERY mature. His dark unlocked his keyblade. I believe in the past, that there was some dark Keyblade master as a ancestor of Riku. Sora is chosen. He is “speical” I think this explaination is good.
The new game is very far away for me. About five months yet…. X(
Oh well. But the new DSI for KH should make the wait TOTALLY worth it!
HANG IN THERE GUYS!!!
BTW, You can preorder KH: 358/2 from GameStop now. It’s supposed release is at the end of August/beginning of September.
Wow, cool box art, I like it!
Its a fake moogle. An april fools joke. And Inside man, We all knew that. xD
lol, no It’s really me. I’m on spring break so I had some time to come back here and see what was up.
The cover might be a little dull, nomura doesnt have much room to work with.
I still strongly believe that Terra and Sora are related by blood because of their hair and eye color. The simularities were to close to ignore, thoughunder that line of theories shared by Luna and myself that would mean Sora is obscurely related to Xehanort. Dan dun dun!!
Dive, I think that would be better if not by blood. That just makes the story go werid. And eye color is not that big…anyone else have blue?! Well that doesnt mean their related to me. And I think EVERYONE has blue eyes in KH. xD Justkidding. I dont think so Dive, but I think is Well thought out. ;)
well yes many characters have blue eyes and green but hes got a point i was thinking what if riku not sora riku i was thinking what if rikus was related to terra ive always wonder they kinda took a similar path and their both serious
and well soras definetly has to be related to ven since ven looks a lot like roxas
im pregnant
Once Again: …
Well, spiky hair and blue eyes are probably the of the most common things in FF and thereby also KH. So you need something more to convince me that they are related by blood.
And the cover isnt an April-fool. It isnt said its the official either, but its the box Golden got when he gained the game
When Kingdom hearts had a masssite for all the new titles coming up they had some profileshots of all the main characters, For KH II Sora was shown with his head facing slightly to the left with brown hair and Blue eyes, the exact same eyes(not just color but pupils and everything) as Kairi and Roxas. And for BBS’s profile shot of Terra, he was shown facing to the left with the exact same stare as Sora, eye color and all.
And I think attributing Riku to Terra would be too obvious for Nomura, they’re both the more skilled and mature members of their trios but thats as far as they go together if you ask me. Considering Ven’s memtioning how he needs to be erased, I suspect he may be an unbirth or something instead of being related to Sora himself. Sorry for the double post.
i think nomura does some of that stuff to make us think there related to throw off our theories.
indeed but also to make the fans go crazy and buy the game hahahahaha so that they can see whats going to happen and well maeby they get some ideas from the fans sites but i think hes got everything in sheep shape and ready so we arre going tyo get very imprssed in kh bbs as far as im concern
i think terra is Sora’s dad
also did you guys know that there is a movie coming out over here called “The Battle Over Terra”
yea, i heard it on my t.v and ran out then ohhh -_- lol got all excited.
IF you want to get technical with eye color now, at the end of the secret ending to KH2 final mix, terra eyes change color to yellowish, and who in the game has yellow eyes as well as the same basic build? Oh that would be Xehanort/Xemnas
and heartless too.
Cause Yellow Eye color is the calling card of the Powers of Darkness. I’ve made my theories regarding Terra, his eye color and the whole lot clear. Just filter back a few posts to find out where I stand.
hahaha you guys your all crazy
im kiding
the thing is that the same we an all be right we can also be wrong so i cant exactly say
cause what if what i say could be the same way wrong or right so you guys have to think what you want to think so tada thats all folks
and yes i saw the trailers of the movie keyblade moon
it looks like a very good movie but one never knows
just a small theorie but what if when you become a heartless a nobody and a unbirth is created. so sora may have a hidden unbirth and that maybe the plot to kh3 but i doubt that will happen also terra ven and aqua may have nobodies running around and posibly an unbirh.
What if when a person turns into a heartless a nobody is also created so sora may have an unbirth running around and that maybe the plot of KH3…but i doubt it, and also Terra, Ven and aqua may also have an unbirth and a nobody. Nomura said “The Unbirth possess some sort of connection to Heartless and the Nobodies of the main series” and also said “They are, in essence, the opposite of human life.”
Well sorry for the third post but the first post didnt post until i put the second post, so sorry for that.
UFC U.S V.S U.K!!!!! U.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@(^-^)@ monkey (+[__]÷) psp [(CRAYOLA)]> ok im done lol
damn we need some new information…
Heartless started appear after the unbirth, so that theory doesnt fit in.
Watch how the unbirths appear. They appear the same way the heartless do. I wonder what the connection is?
I agree.Just what is the connection with the unbirths?
