R-K here bringing you a quick Pre-TGS Update where I'll outline some of the basics you'll want to know before going into TGS later today.

WHAT WE LEARNED AT DKΣ3713: We were first treated a glimpse of Aqua, in a trailer that seemed to focus on both her, and the beings with hearts of pure light that both Maleficent and Master Xehanort are after. The name of the new enemies in Birth By Sleep were also finally named as the "Unbirths".
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TGS:

• A trailer.
• A playable demo
• Possibly gameplay footage for Aqua
• The revelation of the type of existence Unbirths have

WHAT WE LEARNED AT DKΣ3713: The XIVth Member of Organization XIII was given the spotlight. We heard her voice (which is said to become a hint), we saw her weapon (a Keyblade), and we finally learned her name - "Xion". Also to make an appearance in the trailer were Riku, DiZ and Naminé, officially confirming their presence in the game. We were also given a release window of 'Winter 2008' for Japan.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TGS:

• A trailer.
• A playable demo
• More details concerning Xion being explored such as "what became of her heart?"
• A more specific Release Date for Japan

WHAT WE LEARNED AT DKΣ3713: We were first told of the key-phrase "A forbidden secret" which is said to be the 'image' of Coded and is tied to the deep story that begins to develop. It was also in the trailer that it was revealed that a member of Organization XIII appears in Coded, though the extent of their purpose is unknown. We were also given a release window of 'Winter 2008' for Japan.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TGS:

• A trailer.
• A more specific Release/Launch Date for Japan
• The phone models Coded will be available on

WHAT WE LEARNED AT DKΣ3713: Kingdom Hearts Mobile was first revealed at the event. It is intended to be a plethora of KH-related information that can be accessed completely by your cellular phone. However, to avoid becoming a 'boring' hub for information, Avatars were developed. These avatars are completely customizable and you use this Avatar to make your way through the small world in the palm of your hands. You use this avatar to shop for wallpapers, ringtones and graphics for your cellphone as well as play minigames. We were given a release window of 'Fall 2008' for Japan.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TGS:

• A brand new trailer.
• A brand new playable demo featuring about two minigames
• A more specific launch date

The Tokyo Game Show is a convention that takes place over a period of four days. The first two days are private. The remaining two days are opened to the public. Typically from the first two days the only sources of information will come from big gaming sites such as IGN, this will include the basics of information released. On the public days is where we will get some of the more specific details on things like Trailer Impressions due to TGS Public attendees seeing the trailers and demos and reporting on it.
