Trivia / Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-

---

• The Other Darrin: Alyson Stoner once again replaces Hayden Panettiere as Kairi.
• Un-Canceled: 0.2 was originally revealed in Birth by Sleep's Secret Episode under the title Birth by Sleep: Volume 2, and was meant to be a new game in the series. However, it wound up getting the axe somewhere in the middle, but once the Compilation Rereleases started, it was revived and brought to its current form as a way to precede Kingdom Hearts III.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Hidden in the files are unused assets, presumably for Kingdom Hearts III. These include first and second-tier versions of Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, and Cure; the Aero series (and, surprisingly, the Water series, albeit translated as "Aqua"); Glide and Superglide; Aerial Dodge; and Holy.
  • This game was originally intended to be a full on sequel to Birth By Sleep rather than just a prologue to Kingdom Hearts III. Based on the teaser and what was salvaged for this game, it likely would have followed Aqua exploring the worlds from Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts I that had fallen to darkness. Square Executives pushing Nomura to getting the production of III more underway led to the Birth by Sleep sequel getting scrapped and retooled into this.
