After about a week of discussion, ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki's very own version of the [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Mirage Arena|Mirage Arena]] opens its doors today !
 
Similar to the Dragon's Neck Coliseum of the ''Final Fantasy'' Wiki, the Mirage Arena is a popularity contest between characters, worlds, places, items, weapons and/or gameplay elements. Two links are placed head-to-head with each other per week, and at the end of four months (i.e. sixteen rounds), all the winners of the previous rounds will be pitted against each other in the one and only [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Mirage Arena/Joint Struggle|Joint Struggle]].
 
Buuuuuuuuuut there's a catch : if you want to go in and be part of the fun, you must have at least 75 quality edits in the Mainspace ! To do so, you can hit [[Special:Editcount]] and type in your username to see if you've hit the mark. Of course, other factors like how productive those Mainspace edits are will be taken into account.
 
Come join in the fun ! And if you haven't already hit the mark, START EDITING ! >:)

In case you haven't seen it yet, ''[http://www.gameinformer.com/ Game Informer]'' has done an interview with Tetsuya Nomura about ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and a few other upcoming releases.  Unfortunately, the interview refutes earlier information that stated ''Kingdom Hearts III'' is currently underway, but does contain some interesting tidbits, including the fact that the North American release, as per other ''Kingdom Hearts'' games will have bonus features not found in the original Japanese release, including at least one extra enemy.

Well, in case you haven't noticed yet, we have two long-time editors who have been promoted to full admins; they've already been running around and performing wiki-ly ... wiki-ish ... they fix stuff.  A belated congratulations to [[User:DoorToNothing|DoorToNothing]] and [[User:HeartOfOblivion|HeartOfOblivion]] for making it into the surreal world of a ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki admin!

Today is another day of sorrow and lament for all ''Kingdom Hearts'' fans. Just today, the voice actor '''Eddie Carroll''' passed away. Eddie Carroll has been the voice actor for the lovable [[Jiminy Cricket]], both in ''Walt Disney'' films and in all of his apperances throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. He has been Jiminy Cricket's voice actor for over thirty years, having provided his voice in three ''Walt Disney'' films.
 
As of yet, it is currently unknown who will replace Eddie Carroll as the voice actor for Jiminy Cricket. We wish him the best; he touched our hearts with his talented voice acting for Jiminy Cricket, and shall always be remembered as an adroit voice actor.

It seems that [[User:DoorToNothing|DoorToNothing]] and [[User:BebopKate|BebopKate]] tricked the entire wiki! <small>And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!</small> From the wonderful community at the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki, we hope that your April Fool's Day was prank-filled and enjoyable!

Today is another momentous day for the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki. Today, we celebrate our fourth birthday! Thanks to every single editor and contributor who has contributed even one time to our growing database; you have all helped get the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki to where it is today! Here's to another great year of editing!
Today marks the 18th anniversary of the KHWiki! To celebrate, here's a quick recap of everything that's happened in the last... seven years? Better late than never, I suppose.


In addition, a recent interview with various leaders of Square-Enix's departments revealed the story behind '''''[[Kingdom Hearts: Sora Florida Meets Hannah Montana|<span style="color:fuchsia;">Kingdom Hearts: Sora Florida Meets Hannah Montana</span>]]'''''! Glad we dodged that bullet, eh? I wonder if anyone can hunt down one of the rare and elusive copies of the game that is still in existance...?
The ''Kingdom Hearts'' series has been quite busy since the last update to these archives, with several new games, multiple concerts, and even more content on the horizon. I did my best to cover the major dates, but there's definitely more that I wasn't able to include. See you in 2031 for the next Trinity Archives update.

In a recent interview, series director Tetsuya Nomura has stated that there will be three new Kingdom Hearts games in the near future. Two of these will be spin-offs to the main series, and the third will be the long awaited ''Kingdom Hearts III''! That's right, all of you fan-fiction-creating fans, it has finally been announced! Even better, Tetsuya Nomura has stated that ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be the end of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series; there will be much more to come! One of the two spin-offs is expected to be released this year, but ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be released until ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' is released, the current project of Nomura's team.

After a large spot of newslessness, Square-Enix has launched not just one, but ''two'' official sites for the upcoming ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' in North America and Europe.

With ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' a week away from its release in Japan (yay!), now would probably be a good time to remind our old editors and new editors alike to take a look at the wiki [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Spoiler Policy|Spoiler Policy]] regarding new games.  We're all excited, but remember that not everyone wants to know every detail of the game right away, especially when it comes to plot and character elements. Please be mindful and respectful of wiki members that wish to remain unspoiled, especially in non-article areas like the Forums and Talk Pages. Thanks!

We hope you all find the renovations and additions to be helpful in navigating around the site. Thanks to [[User:Xiggie|Xiggie]], who put together all of our ideas into a fantastic Community Portal!
*January 12/24 (Japan/NA, respectively): ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue]]'' is released! Although some say Nomura is still stalling for ''Kingdom Hearts III'' with yet another HD remake, at least this collection gives us new material! Ever wonder what Aqua did during the time post-''Birth by Sleep'' and pre-''Kingdom Hearts''? This collection is for you! Ever wonder just who/how the Foretellers came to be? (And what of their mysterious [[Master of Masters|Master]]?) This collection is for you! Ever want to revisit the realm of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' on a big, flat screen TV instead of the small 3DS screen? This collection is for you!

*March 10: Starting on this day in Japan is the premiere of the "''Kingdom Hearts'' World Orchestra Tour!" This short tour features the music of ''Kingdom Hearts'', encompassing many themes and pieces fans are sure to recognize. If you haven't listened to the album yet, you are sorely missing out! Many of our favorite themes have been smashed into longer multi-movement works that hit on most of the largest characters and events in the series. While some pieces have been merely re-arranged, such as "The Other Promise," some pieces are given their first orchestral cover- Aqua's Theme, the Vanitas battle theme, and so on.

In conjunction with the release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', several users on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki have [[Forum:Mr. Wayne Allwine Music Video|joined forces]] and released a tribute to the late Wayne Allwine, the former voice of [[Mickey Mouse]], whose last role was in the said game.

*March 28: Perhaps the biggest announcement to appear on this update is the '''15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES!!!!!!''' That's right, folks! For fifteen blessed years we have been graced with a time-traveling story of a bunch of people running around with Disney/Final Fantasy characters and [[Keyblade|keys]]. To celebrate the occasion, a port of ''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX'' have been released for the PlayStation 4!  So, what has been your fondest memory of the series thus far? Favorite character? Be sure to let us know over in the [[Forum:Twilight Town Library|forums]]! As if this day couldn't get any better, the final volume of the YenPress release of the [[Kingdom Hearts II (manga)|''Kingdom Hearts II'' manga]] is set! While the front cover art was leaked today, the actual volume won't be released until later this year on May 23rd.


Also, special thanks to all users of the Kingdom Hearts Wiki for supporting this pet project of ours.
*March 23/April 6 (Japan/NA, respectively): ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]'' is released! Picking up where '' Kingdom Hearts χ'' left off, explore what happens to the Player after surviving the Keyblade War. Although a recent release, the story is already twisting and turning ala Nomura-''Kingdom Hearts'' fashion, leaving us with many questions and speculation.


RIP Wayne Allwine 1947-2009

Placing at number 119, it is very exciting and awesome to see not only Yoko Shimomura, but also video game music to get the respect/publicity they deserve. Although not as high placing as previous years, The Other Promise still managed to "beat" many standard repertoire in the music world.

As seen [http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/pdf/17q4slides.pdf here], ''Kingdom Hearts III'' is pushed to the back burner, with a potential release date in 2018...or later. Back to the waiting game for fans, it seems. Hope no one lost too much [[munny]] on betting when it would come out this year. Perhaps more information (and trailers!) will be revealed at this year's E3?

Nearly four months after the sad and unfortunate passing of Mickey Mouse's voice actor, Wayne Allwine, a new voice actor has finally been announced for the famous Disney character. For future voice acting, including upcoming installments in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, '''Bret Iwan''' will portray the voice of the infamous big-eared mouse. Again, may Wayne Allwine rest in peace.

Hi, folks.  We're making some changes to our User Page policies since some folks are taking advantage of our more lax policies.  To make it short and simple, if you have ''any'' images that are not ''Kingdom Hearts'' related on your userpage, we are giving you a week to save them or store them away elsewhere.  On Thursday, April 9th, <u>'''all''' non-''Kingdom Hearts'' images will be removed from the wiki</u>.  It will still be okay to put non-''Kingdom Hearts'' pictures on your User Page, but they must be stored or hosted on another website, such as PhotoBucket.
 
Talk boxes and user boxes shouldn't be affected by this, so worry not about your colorful cubes and shiny bubbles. ^_^

Latest revision as of 17:36, 1 April 2024

This article is about the wiki's record page.
You may be looking for the in-game journal from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Welcome to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki's version of the Trinity Archives (not to be confused with the real deal). We will try our best to record what goes on around here on this page and the main page. All major Kingdom Hearts Wiki and Kingdom Hearts-related events will be listed here. The Kingdom Hearts Wiki's staff are the main editors, but regular editors can contribute, as long as they have 350 total edits (check here). The executive editor of the Trinity Archives is Erry.

Today marks the 18th anniversary of the KHWiki! To celebrate, here's a quick recap of everything that's happened in the last... seven years? Better late than never, I suppose.

The Kingdom Hearts series has been quite busy since the last update to these archives, with several new games, multiple concerts, and even more content on the horizon. I did my best to cover the major dates, but there's definitely more that I wasn't able to include. See you in 2031 for the next Trinity Archives update.

Xion4ever grabs copy of Trinity Archives, blowing and knocking dust off of it Whew! It has certainly been a while! Pardon our absence- the real world always finds a way to draw us away...Anywho! What a tremendous year we are having so far! Forgive me if I miss out on a few dates...

  • January 12/24 (Japan/NA, respectively): Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is released! Although some say Nomura is still stalling for Kingdom Hearts III with yet another HD remake, at least this collection gives us new material! Ever wonder what Aqua did during the time post-Birth by Sleep and pre-Kingdom Hearts? This collection is for you! Ever wonder just who/how the Foretellers came to be? (And what of their mysterious Master?) This collection is for you! Ever want to revisit the realm of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance on a big, flat screen TV instead of the small 3DS screen? This collection is for you!
  • March 10: Starting on this day in Japan is the premiere of the "Kingdom Hearts World Orchestra Tour!" This short tour features the music of Kingdom Hearts, encompassing many themes and pieces fans are sure to recognize. If you haven't listened to the album yet, you are sorely missing out! Many of our favorite themes have been smashed into longer multi-movement works that hit on most of the largest characters and events in the series. While some pieces have been merely re-arranged, such as "The Other Promise," some pieces are given their first orchestral cover- Aqua's Theme, the Vanitas battle theme, and so on.
  • March 28: Perhaps the biggest announcement to appear on this update is the 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES!!!!!! That's right, folks! For fifteen blessed years we have been graced with a time-traveling story of a bunch of people running around with Disney/Final Fantasy characters and keys. To celebrate the occasion, a port of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX have been released for the PlayStation 4! So, what has been your fondest memory of the series thus far? Favorite character? Be sure to let us know over in the forums! As if this day couldn't get any better, the final volume of the YenPress release of the Kingdom Hearts II manga is set! While the front cover art was leaked today, the actual volume won't be released until later this year on May 23rd.
  • March 23/April 6 (Japan/NA, respectively): Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] is released! Picking up where Kingdom Hearts χ left off, explore what happens to the Player after surviving the Keyblade War. Although a recent release, the story is already twisting and turning ala Nomura-Kingdom Hearts fashion, leaving us with many questions and speculation.
  • April 1: Grab some sea-salt ice cream and some of your Wiki-friends and find the closest clock tower! The Kingdom Hearts Wiki celebrated its 11th anniversary! Being the number one encyclopedia for all things Kingdom Hearts, it is a momentous day for all KHWikians and friends! Thank you to our hardworking users for all that they do! From our veteran staff to our newest of users, this Wiki is what it is because of every individual! And, a hearty thank you to our readers for giving us a reason to keep going. So, celebrate! Let us all continue to chronicle this epic journey until the end!
  • May 2: Being the music lover that I am- I mean seriously, that's what my university degree is in- it is exciting to see The Other Promise featured on Classicfm's top 300 songs of the year! Placing at number 119, it is very exciting and awesome to see not only Yoko Shimomura, but also video game music to get the respect/publicity they deserve. Although not as high placing as previous years, The Other Promise still managed to "beat" many standard repertoire in the music world.
  • May 2 and 3: Kingdom Hearts II is featured in both IGN and Game Informer Magazine's "Top 100 RPGs of All Time!" The game placed 86th on IGN, and 25th for Game Informer. If you look closely at the cover of the June issue of Game Informer, you can make out a small Keyblade-wielding Sora in the center.
  • May 11: Kingdom Hearts III DRUMROLL PLEASE is (yet again) pushed back regarding a release date. As seen here, Kingdom Hearts III is pushed to the back burner, with a potential release date in 2018...or later. Back to the waiting game for fans, it seems. Hope no one lost too much munny on betting when it would come out this year. Perhaps more information (and trailers!) will be revealed at this year's E3?
  • Did you ever want to high-five or write Tetsuya Nomura a note? Want to thank him for all that he has done/yet to do? Or would you just like to say hello? If so, you're in luck! Check out KHWiki:Photobook for more details. Don't miss out on an opportunity like this!

...and that about covers some of the major highlights so far this year. We will try harder to be more on top of updating this. As always, be sure to keep track of the latest Kingdom Hearts news by checking out our friends at kh13.com and Kingdom Hearts Insider!
