II.8 Final Chapter Prologue

A pretty cool looking banner promoting 'Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD Final Chapter Prologue' had been spotted in E3, with several attendees taking pictures of it with their mobile devices. Now, thanks to Famitsu, we have a HQ version of the banner, showcasing characters from the three entries included in 2.8 (the Foretellers, Sora and Riku from DDD, as well as Aqua plus King Mickey in what is most defiintely how he'll appear in 0.2 BBS):

Square-Enix has confirmed that the HD remaster of the 3DS KH title, 'Dream Drop Distance', will have a resolution of 1080p, and will run at an impressive 60 FPS. For a feel of what that'll look like, be sure to check the above video, which also confirms an updated HUD for the game, plus a new Dream Eater (called Catnuki). Included in the video is also footage from '0.2 Birth by Sleep', giving us a feel for what to expect with Aqua's gameplay.

Tai Yasue, co-director of the upcoming 'Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue', will be attending E3 this year, and is scheduled to talk about 2.8 (along with the possibility of something on KH3) on June 15th from 4:00 to 4:30 PDT. The interview, part of Square-Enix's 'Square-Enix Presents' series, will be streamed live via YouTube and Twitch.

The release of the new 'Kingdom Hearts 2.8' trailer today provided fans with many surprises. One of those surprises was finally getting a feel for what to expect from 'χ[chi] Back Cover', showing us characters from χ[chi] in cutscene form with spoken dialogue. One of the characters shown in the trailer was Ephemera, whose voice sounded familiar for some. A fan then asked actor Michael Johnston of Teen Wolf fame on Twitter whether he voiced the character, and he pretty much confirmed it. The tweet has unfortunately been deleted (most likely due to a NDA Johnston signed), though Johnston still retweeted a fan asking him about voicing Ephemera, which pretty much guarantees that he is the voice of Ephemera in 'Back Cover'.
