After going back and forth with fan requests, Yoshinori Kitase finally decided to include a shower scene in The 3rd Birthday.

Bundled items weren’t announced, but Amazon.de tactically leaked the contents of two European limited editions.

Remember the old 3rd Birthday trailer with Aya driving a tank and piloting a helicopter?

When the game comes out next week, Tabata recommends using the data install feature and playing The 3rd Birthday on a TV.

The overdive system in The 3rd Birthday does more than let Aya switch locations. When you swap mind and body with an ally on the battlefield you get to use their weapons.

The development team from The 3rd Birthday did a 180, the PSP game now has a shower scene.

A new video update shows The 3rd Birthday’s costume damage feature in action.

Dengeki PlayStation has a huge feature on The 3rd Birthday. The magazine talked about costumes, there are ten to find in the game, and more importantly gameplay details.

Mitsuto Suzuki, one of the composers on The 3rd Birthday, added a cover of “Joy to the World” to the PSP game.

Heads up, 3rd Birthday importers. First print copies of The 3rd Birthday includes a code to download an Aya costume for Lightning in Dissidia 012[duodecim]: Final Fantasy, but only retail copies get the bonus.

Because The 3rd Birthday is a game with serious fights, director Hajime Tabata decided to raise the difficulty level of the PSP game.

Remember how Aya can use the Overdive system to leap into the minds of allied characters on the battlefield? She can dive into the Twisted too.

Catering to Renaissance Fair attendees (perhaps?), Square Enix decided to give Aya Brea a Knight costume for The 3rd Birthday.
