You may have noticed at the bottom of the Gilgamesh scan an image of Squall’s Kingdom Hearts appearance. It has indeed been confirmed as another alt for him. Europe will be receiving a release of the game called the “Legacy Edition,” which will include download codes for both that and the red-garbed Amano Tifa.

Additionally, it’s been announced that pre-ordering Dissidia 012 from Amazon.com will net you the code for Amano Tifa, whereas pre-ordering the game from GameStop will come with a code for Cloud’s Kingdom Heart’s outfit. There hasn’t been word yet on how North America will be receiving Squall’s “Leon” getup.

Here are images of the alternates in question to help with your decision.

If you give an Onion Knight a Keyblade,  will he unlock the door to Disney?

I vote yes

I’ve said this many times before, often jokingly, but not without a truth to the matter. Final Fantasy 3 and the Kingdom Hearts series are amazingly similar, and the more of the series I play, the more I am convinced that Kingdom Hearts is Final Fantasy 3 with Disney added, that the two games, when you get right down to it, are telling the same story, not that this is a bad thing. Akira Kurosawa’s Hidden Fortress and George Lucas’s Star Wars: A New Hope are the same story, but each is told in a way that makes each telling unique and worthwhile.

Do my eyes deceive me…?

With the lack of Final Fantasy characters appearing in KH 358/2, I kinda wasn’t expecting any FF characters to appear in Birth By Sleep.

Was I wrong.

A new scan from Weekly Jump showcases our loveable SOLDIER, Zack Fair, making an appearance in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. And as an even more amusing nod to Crisis Core, Zack’s D-Link ability with Terra in the game, is an attack called “Heroes Pride.”

I think it’s safe to say this game’s cool factor got a +5.

Thanks Dark & Divine for bringing this to my attention!

Last week some of the Square-Enix staff, namely planning director Takashi Arakawa and Yoshinori Kitase (director, writer and producer) were present at a gaming event in Munich, Germany. Below is a translation (thanks to Tetsujin) regarding their writing of the scenario and possibly ideas for a sequel.
