Famitsu updated their website featuring a few new images, most of them from the information that was posted earlier!


A new secret ending is added to Final Mix where the three mysterious soldiers will be drawn into battle. There is violent development in this scene. Many new mysteries will develop.


In addition there is a battle against one of the Enigmatic Soldiers from the secret ending! This one's strength easily surpasses that of Organization XIII. It is easy to tell this will be the strongest boss in Kingdom Hearts history!

When you are in a battle and use a friend card, a friend will come to help you in battle. If you stock the cards however, an original technique is shown! This image is one of the many examples.

As Riku only, when in battle with an enemy you can enter DUEL Mode, in which you and the enemy are thrown into a duel battle with a time limit to put out a card. If your card is higher than the opponent's, you gain one Card Break. Earn the amount needed and you win the duel!
