What is Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep about?

Answer 1

The new installment of the Kingdom Hearts series for the PSP, explaining the deep past of Kingdom Hearts, we are introduced by 3 characters, Ven, Terra and Aqua, Ven has a relation with Sora, Ven means air, as Sora means sky, which are the same; Aqua means water, and Kairi means ocean, which leads the same to water; Terra means earth, as Riku has some relation with earth. The major playable character is Terra, seen in the scans. In the game, the world Hollow Bastion or better known as Radiant Garden will explain himself more. Disney characters will make an appearance here as well. The old man is an older version of Xehanort, the game itslef will show the gamers the Real Keyblade Master, as Tetsuya Nomura (Director) well explained on his interview.

Trailer Description:

Scenes of the ending of Kingdom Hearts 1 flash by on the screen, and two phrases are seen clearly onscreen. One reads "Deep Past" and the other "Shut-Eyes gives birth to the concealed fate."

We are then confronted by a young boy who looks like Roxas conversing with another young boy with black hair. Their surroundings seem to resemble Hallow Bastion (Radiant Garden). The name "Ven" is thrown outward, referring to the boy who looks like Roxas.

The scene change various times before stopping at an iamge of the Old Man from the KH2FM+ secret ending. He is called "Master Xehanort" by Terra. Soon after, Terra summons his keyblade and the screen changes.

Various worlds are shown, and one of which is familiar to us all. "Olympus Colliseum" is making another comeback, followed by a brand new world, that of which resembles Sleeping Beauty.

The video then changes back to Terra battling against a dark figure, whom you can tell is male. This is the same man from the Secret Ending of KH2FM+, the one who the Old Man creates. Terra is able to forceably get the man's helmet off, but his face is concealed.

King Mickey is shown summoning his keyblade, and then the scene changes very quickly to Terra on a beach. He seems to be watching two boys play in the ocean. After he rests his weapon into the ground, the two boys he was watching are clearer and they look like Sora and Riku. Soon after, Terra says, "Please don't depend on me, just erase me… friend."

Just to let you know from the answer above, when it says that Riku has some relation with the earth, I can tell you that Riku in Japanese means land, so that is the relationship. As well as that, the main thing is Terra's struggle against (or for) the darkness in his heart, which prevents him from becoming a Keyblade Master. Aqua is the Kairi/Sora mix of the group, and is te responsible one who will protect her friends at any cost. Ven is the sort of Roxas--funny because of their close look resemblances--person but goes with the flow. He is sort of conned into all this adventure and tries to discover his purpose but more importantly tries to find his friends so everything will be back to normal, but in the end they are all fail at their main purposes.

That roxas looking guy IS really roxas. I know this because if you have played kingdom hearts 358/2 days it shows roxas at the old mansion. In the beginning talking to xemnas. Well anyway, it's roxas because i think that he was transported in time to the future because no one else could look like roxas and he had that different name so it is him so i cant wait to play birth by sleep when it comes out in the USA.

Actually Ventus is Roxas who has been sent to the past to forge the x-blade, another form of the key blade. That is why you see Riku and Sora as a kid in that one scene with Terra at that small world.

You're right on most of that. But you got Roxas and Ventus mixed up. The game Birth by Sleep takes place in the past before Sora became a keyblade master, before organization xiii took place, and before sora and riku even met kairi. Shouldn't Roxas look more like Sora since he's his Nobody? That didn't happen because Ventus was in Sora's heart when Sora saved Kairi. Sora gained the ability to wield the keyblade thanks to Ventus. Riku got his ability from Terra. Terra's body was possessed by Xehanort (whom had taken his own life and entered Terra) and when Xehanort became a Nobody, his appearance which was Terra's body, became Xemnas. So remember...Birth by Sleep takes place in the PAST when Sora, Riku, and Kairi were little kids.
