Now let us now know a little bit more about the quiet but ever helpful Desert Warrior, our Super Moderator on the forums.

1. What made you join KHPlanet?

Something to do with Birth by Sleep.

2. How long have you been helping moderating the site? Some of us can see that you have been a Super Mod for quite a while now.

I don’t remember. Probably since at least Fall 09.
3. Are there any other games besides Kingdom Hearts that you like to play? Name as many as you can!

Lots. Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Pokémon, Batman, Soul Calibur, Ratchet and Clank, Sonic the Hedgehog,

Super Smash Bros, Metroid, Castlevania, .hack, Star Wars Battlefront, Advance Wars, Golden Sun.

4. Anything that you remember on KHPlanet that you will never forget?

Don’t know. I suppose I’ll remember the debate section for a long time.

5. Who is your favorite game character?

Probably Link.

6. I wonder… is there someone here on this site that you are… VERY close to on the forums?

Define close. Although I’d have to say Hope (Or whatever long weird name she goes by now).

7. As I go back, I can see that you are place 5th place in the arcade (Right under me of course XD). What do you love the arcade?

I like playing some of the games. And if I feel I can, I’ll shoot for a high score.

No, not really.

9. What are your favorite hobbies?

Probably playing video games.

10. If you have one choice to pick a favorite weapon from any game, what would be that weapon?

We would like us to say thanks to our very own Sorabrawl (Name is Ventus on Forum) who has been dedicated to the site as

a site writer and for helping us catch up on not only on Kingdom Hearts news but also on other games Dragon Quest and Nier.

All of us really do not want us to see him go away but we would like to wish him good luck and that God bless.

Sorabrawl is actually a role-player when he first joined the site. Before he became a site writer, he always introduces many

Role-playing ideas in order to help entertain and to also help keep the other members active. The first game that actually made Him cry and, to him,

the most emotional game was actually the first Kingdom Hearts.

Games that he have beaten this year were: Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded, Beyond Good and Evil HD, Rayman 2, Medal of Honor, Borderlands, Ratchet and Clank, Infamous 2, Super Mario 3D Land, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Uncharted 2 & 3, Resistance 3, Killzone 3, and Shadow of the Colossus. He hopes that he can play Rayman: Origins and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Thank you so much Sorabrawl.

I hope that all of you have been waiting very patiently because for this Christmas, you will receive additional, new updates on

Kingdom Hearts: 3D and other splendid and tasteful treats as presents for you all. Here is a video

trailer on the greatest game to be released!

New & Memorable Characters

Square Enix has brought back some new and old characters: Those from our favorite games;

those who we love from our favorite childhood Disney movies and those who just have to return again because we just

can’t get enough of them.In the Traverse Town world, Rhyme; Shiki; Beat and Joshua who are also from The World Ends with you, will be joining Neku in The game. New characters in the game will also include the priest villain, Lord Frollo; Esmeralda’s lover, Pheobus and our comedic gargoyles, Laverne, Hugo and Victor from The Hunchback of Notre Dame to join Quasimodo and Esmeralda. Tron would also come back but he would be in his dark, alternate form as Rinzler from Tron: Legacy. Also, the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio and the Beagle Boys from Disney’s The Three Musketeers will also make their appearance.
For the returning cast, Maleficent will storm in once again but this time, hinting about Xehanort and the seven pure worlds of

light

and the seven Princesses of Hearts at Disney Castle. Mickey, Donald and Goofy will also be coming back but the surprising

part is

them also appearing in a new world, The Country of the Musketeers.

Queen Minnie and Pete, Maleficent henchmen, will also be there Daisy Duck will also come back at Disney Castle.
Jiminy Cricket and Pinocchio will star in the game with Geppeto and Monstro.

Yen Sid will appear, narrating on what had happened to the worlds that did not end up completely saved and instead

went into a sleeping state, making the darkness that enters the worlds that are sleeping become Dream Eaters instead of Heartless.
As an added bonus, Ansem’s apprentices will be coming back: Even, Braig, Aeleus, and Ienzo. For the big part, Lea will also be coming back as he saves Mickey and his gang from Maleficent’s attack at Disney Castle.

The dazzling but shocking part would be the incarnations of Master Xehanort: Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Xemnas,

and the young version of Master Xehanort himself. Vanitus will appear alongside the young Master Xehanort.
There will also be more versions of the Dream Eaters such as the Goat Horn, the Frog Chef, the evil Ice Penguin and the

ferocious Gorilla!!

New Worlds to Explore

In addition to La Cite des Noche, Prankster’s Paradise that consists of the Pinocchio casts

and The Country of the Musketeers world that consists of Mickey and other Disney characters

will be added.
Tron’s/Rinzler’s world will also appear along with Traverse Town, Radiant Garden,

Disney Castle, the Keyblade Graveyard and Destiny Island.
In Japan, Kingdom Hearts 3D will be released there in March of 2012. All of North America and Europe will receive the release following after that date.

Other Exciting Surprises

Kingdom Hearts 3D Merchandise will be sold in the Square Enix stores! Also, if you cannot wait any longer, you can pre order the game for just $40.00!!
You may have to wait though since the release date can be an estimated placeholder.
Just still stay in touch with this site as we will keep on giving you more surprises in the game.

Ezio's Costume in Assassin's Creed II

In a press release by Square-Enix, they have told the press that Ezio Audatore’s costume in Assassin’s Creed will become available to wear for the character, Noel. This news comes shortly after the announcement that Ezio will appear in Soul Calibur V, which comes out in the same time frame as Final Fantasy XIII-2. Is this some in game marketing for Assassin’s Creed? The costume will be available shortly after Final Fantasy XIII-2′s release in the form of downloadable content. What do you guys think of this? Are there any fans of Assassin’s Creed out there? What other outrageous costumes do you want to see in Final Fantasy XIII-2? Give us a shout in the comments below or even better, go on the forums! Check us out!

For this Q&A, we have ADogX, who was voted for by the community last week.

What makes the forums so kickass!?

What film would you like to see being turned into a world for Kingdom Hearts?

I play basketball or Yu-Gi-Oh. Sometimes….sleep.

I play Sophmore basketball, Volleyball, and Badminton for my High School.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. it’s just so fun and there’s so much to do. I wish it’d be re-released fot PS3.

Simple! Radiant Garden!

It’s hard to say. I Iike all my friends on KHPlanet equally.

Do you have any crushes on the website? Don’t be afraid!

I USED to have 2. Will not say.

PurpleDiamond and AquaDelight

I AM VICTORIOUS!!!

You can't. None exists. These are the only true impossibilities.

Before on the site, we wrote a preview for Final Fantasy Type-O and were awaiting the PSP spinoff with great anticipation but was it meant to come to North America alongside a European release as well? The answer is thankfully, yes. In an interview with vandel.net, mainly discerning Final Fantasy XIII-2, Yoshiniri Kotose (the producer of the game) told the fans that a localization of Final Fantasy Type-0 for Europe and North America is in the works and more information will be disclaimed later.  If you haven’t already, check out the PSP demo of Final Fantasy Type-0 on the Japanese PlayStation Store.

Famitsu have revealed Pinocchio’s world to be in Dream Drop Distance.  In the picture below, we see Pinocchio in a cell, lying as his nose grows. Knowing that Dream Drop Distance is a follow up to Kingdom Hearts 2, we know this will not be an origin story based on Jiminy Cricket and the puppet’s relationship. It is a follow up to what happened in Kingdom Hearts 2 in the world of Monstro. What worlds do you think will be revealed next? I believe it will be Chicken Little because he appeared as a summon for Kingdom Hearts 2. Which world do you want to see in Dream Drop Distance?

There is finally some news! Musical Notes news that is! Composer Takeharu Ishimoto;  also will be assisting in creating and instilling the sound and piece in Final Fantasy Type Zero; will be working on Kingdom Hearts: 3D with “It’s A Wonderful” from the game “The World Ends With You” alongside composer Yoko Shimomura. Besides working on the music with Kingdom Hearts 3D, he is also working on the soundtrack for Final Fantasy Type Zero called “Zero Expression FF”. There will be coming out with a Limited Edition with a booklet, a DVD, and the CD will come in a Limited Edition 3-disc version.

Hang in there Kingdom hearts and Final Fantasy fans. It seems as though we will receive double our trouble just for waiting.

Looks like FFXIII-2 will become more famous now than ever since the company are actually serving their purpose in making the sequel overcome the weaknesses of its predecessor. In the past month, Square Enix has been evolving in their newest creation so it is best if I give you the breakdown of the details.

The Editions

As the name suggests, the company will be hitting this game globally throughout the country. There are three editions: The Nordic (For countries such as Finland); Crystal Edition; Limited Collector’s Edition. The Nordic Edition will include four down-loadable prizes; Alternate suits for the two main heroes; a unique weapon for Noel; a sneak peek at game-play effects and there is one more mind blowing surprise that will catch the attentions of the Nordic citizens. Omega, the famous boss that has been fought throughout the Final Fantasy series will be added but there is a deal: Beat him and he will join your group. No better deal than that; all players better hope that they can train up to survive and endure the incredible blow of such a monstrous force. This edition will be released in February of next year.

The Limited Collector’s Edition will carry an artwork book that shows all artists how FFXIII-2 has been designed, an orchestrated CD that contains many numbers of selections from the game, postcards and a large HD Art print of the woman, Lightning. The Crystal Edition contains the Limited Collector’s entire Edition but instead, will have a CD that contains all of the music from the game and a T-Shirt! The United States is not left out in the race for the game. If anyone pre-order the game at either GameStop, Best Buy, or Amazon, the player will have a chance to either have (In relation to which store you bought the game from) a dress for Sarah; fight Omega; a book in the sequel of FFXIII-2. The game will be released in North America in January of next year.

Since Kitatse and Yoshinori brought the excitement of releasing out the facts about the motivation of exploration, a new battle system that has been evolving ever since the original battle design has been traced back to when the idea was first used in FFX-2, and the option of playing the game again and again that also had the idea from FFX-2; also can be known as a “New Game+”, the two along with the company also stated that Charice of Warner Bros. Joined them in singing a new theme “New World” just for North America. They had also stated of a new system; The Historia Crux system that allows repeat plays in many battles.

Just hang in there Final Fantasy fans. The explosion of the game being on the shelves will be coming soon (Which is actually 2-3 months from now).
