Dream Drop Distance: Information from Famitsu

Hello KH-Vids! If you thought the news regarding Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance has stopped; wait until you read this update. It's been about a week from today since the Tokyo Game Show kicked off and to say the least; fans from the Kingdom Hearts series were quite impressed.

Now we have a big update on recap news and additional information from Famitu, but seriously you don't want to miss this one. Are you ready!? I know, I'm such a tease. I should be like Nomura (laughs). Also special thanks to our forum member "P" for letting me know and SQEXGAL for translating the new article from Dream Drop Distance. Special thanks to Toma_Kisaragi from Twitter.

Introduction
The â€œWorld Submerged in Sleepâ€ is said to be connected to dreaming, it can be opened by unlocking the â€œKeyhole of Sleepâ€ that exists in that world. Instead of Heartless, in this world there exist creatures that devour dreams called Dream Eaters. There are two kinds of Dream Eaters, those that consume dreams and plant nightmares and those that eat only bad dreams. Investigating the Dream Eaters becomes the key guiding to the â€œKeyhole of Sleepâ€.

Yen Sid says to Sora and Riku, â€œWhen you unlock the Keyhole of Sleep and return once more to this place, youâ€™ll be acknowledged as Keyblade Masters.â€ It is with these words that the adventure takes off.

From the trailer, we can confirm that Sora and Riku have new outfits and that Rikuâ€™s hair is cut. The Keyblade that Riku uses is â€œWay to the Dawnâ€.

Traverse Town
Two new areas are introduced, â€œDistrict 4â€ and â€œDistrict 5â€. In the lit up streets of this place the â€œReaperâ€™s Gameâ€ is taking place.

Character: Neku Sakuraba
A 15 year old boy who grew up in Shibuya, Tokyo first introduced in The World Ends With You. He is accompanied by a cat type spirit called â€œNeko Catâ€ whose tail is like a music note. He has strayed from his partner and since Neku says that having a partner is necessary in order to win the Game, Sora helps him out, though he doesnâ€™t really understand the Game.

Dream Eaters
There are two types of Dream Eaters, your enemies called â€œNightmaresâ€ and those that fight alongside you as companions called â€œSpiritsâ€.

Spirit: Koumori Bat
It is a furry bat like Spirit. It is the first Spirit that Riku has.

Spirit: Wonder Cat
Though itâ€™s hard to see what part of it is cat like, itâ€™s a plump animal with a blue back and a white belly. Itâ€™s the first Spirit that Sora has.

Nightmare: Kuma Panda
Itâ€™s a panda with bear like claws that wears a short cloak and a slightly atrocious glare.

Nightmare: Torpedo Fish
This fish flies midair. Overall itâ€™s about as long as Sora?

Nightmare: Wonder Cat
The Nightmare version, itâ€™s slightly more sinister with red eyes and body and itâ€™s black back.

Looking at the screenshots, it seems that Nightmare and Spirit versions of each.

System
Coop Techniques
When you fill up the pink gauge, you can consume the earned points to do techniques with the Spirits and your companions. They utilize both the buttons and the touch screen. You can utilize both your Dream Eaters at the same time. For instance, Sora can ride atop Wonder Cat and attack while jumping around, and then do a technique where you can manipulate enemies like the Kuma Panda and fling it away.

Rikuâ€™s interactions with the Dream Eaters are more direct; they instead attack with the Keyblade as one.

Free Flow Action
When you face a wall or pole and press the Y button, various actions occur, during which if you press the A button you can do the strong Free Flow Attack ability. You can also do the high jump and sky slide actions from this. The Kick Dive ability is one the Free Flow Action that lets you kick off a wall, where if you face toward the ground after doing so you can unleash a strong attack. The Turn Cutter ability lets Sora hang off a pole with the Keyblade and spin, mowing down nearby enemies.

Reality Shift
When a special marker appears over enemies heads during battle and you press the A and X buttons simultaneously you can do this ability. Sora/Riku disappear from the screen, and on the bottom screen special operations can be done. Sora dives under and gathers force up to dive out at the enemies. While you are operating the bottom screen, the battle temporarily pauses.

Interview
Interview with series director Tetsuya Nomura.

About the story
Nomura drew the illustration featured at the TGS booth in a hurry. He drew the Dream Eaters that would be your companions.

Nomura drew the new outfits according to how the Osaka team wished. Theyâ€™re like their older outfits with minor changes.

They are versions between KH1 and KH2, which become the outfits for this title.

Rikuâ€™s hair grew during the time he was away to show the passage of time, now his hair is cut immediately after that.

The â€œWorld Submerged in Sleepâ€ is a complex story, but there were worlds other than those that Sora restored in KH1, some that were not submerged in darkness. Like the worlds of the princesses and Dumboâ€™s, etc. In the end of KH1 it was established that some of those worlds were restored, but not all of them. Those that were neither in light nor in darkness, but those that were submerged in sleep.
Since those worlds are essential asleep, the dreams of those worlds become the setting.

Sora and Riku will travel to those worlds to awaken them from their sleep.

When a world is awoken from itâ€™s sleep, it will be restored to itâ€™s original form.

This title involves taking an exam in order to qualify for the Mark of Mastery, so itâ€™ll also be concerned with events that took place in BBS.

All the Disney worlds appearing wil be new, and there will be new areas in existing worlds.

Temporarily taking on their KH1 forms, theyâ€™ll enter into the worlds of sleep . Additionally, Yen Sid says that in order to become a Master, the self taught way that they use the Keyblade will be reset and that it is necessary they learn how to use the Keyblade appropriately from the beginning. When they request to take the exam, Sora says he doesnâ€™t need it, but since Riku has been overwhelmed by darkness before he doesnâ€™t have the self-confidence. Also, Sora and Riku will be taking it together.

The opening of this title will be in Xehanortâ€™s point of view. Additionally, there will be a surprise unlike anything seen before in the last scene.
About Dream Eaters

The Dream Eaters do not approach anyone and consume dreams in the World of Sleep where there are no Heartless. If Sora/Riku donâ€™t use the power of the Dream Eaters, they canâ€™t go to the other worlds.
Their abilities too are related to the Dream Eaters.

The Dream Eaters were designed not to be traditionally cute, but to have charm that couldnâ€™t be disliked. Wonder Cat was drawn to share that idea.

The mark of the Dream Eaters started with a heart as the base and the image of tremors. Nightmares have that sort of bad feeling.

The mark above your own Dream Eaters shows your ownership, itâ€™s also displayed on the map. The boss fights are elaborated in a different direction, where youâ€™ll have to use the mapâ€™s characteristics to your advantage. For instance, the floor will break out from under you and the field area will expand. Using the map, youâ€™ll be able to identify your location quickly in that sort of situation.

The color scheme is new this time; itâ€™s more pastel unlike what weâ€™ve done before. However, youâ€™ll be able to change the colors of your companion Dream Eaters.

The leveling up of the Dream Eaters is directly related to the growth of Sora and Riku. So far weâ€™ve only seen 2 at a time in battle, but if you give it your all youâ€™ll be able collect all the types.

Nomura isnâ€™t quite sure off the top of his head, but there are dozens of Dream Eater types.
About Neku

Nekuâ€™s appearance in Traverse Town was by special means that have to do with his reason for being there. Heâ€™ll show up in District 1, etc.
Beginning in Traverse Town as usual youâ€™ll meet your party member, but since I wanted to put in a fresh character, we put in Neku from The World Ends With You.
This time Traverse Town is constructed around the reason that Neku and co. have come. He has been separated from his original partner Shiki.
Weâ€™ll go into more detail about Shiki and the others in a follow up report.

Concerning a sequel to The World Ends With You, there may be something going on.

Abilities and 3D Vision
The Reality Shift ability in Traverse Town has Sora sink to the bottom screen where he can aim at the enemies. Itâ€™s different in each world, and Rikuâ€™s ability is different too. In Rikuâ€™s Reality Shift you can touch the bottom screen to connect enemies and objects in a line creating chain that Riku will attack following along on the upper screen.
The way Sora and Riku interact with their companion Dream Eaters is different. Sora can ride atop the Dream Eaters and be thrown off, while they serve as power ups to Riku.
Like shown in the TGS demo, Sora can have two companions at the same time and use them both to do the Dual Link ability where the two Dream Eaters combine into one big Wonder Cat. Filling up the gauge, youâ€™ll be able to use the Reality Shift and Dual Link abilities successively.

Since the concept of the game was bold action, this title really makes use of the Free Flow Action ability. Though you have a lot of battle options, with this alone you can do many actions like spinning around and jump kicking depending on the terrain.

Since itâ€™s hard to watch even in 2D because the movements are so intense, in 3D your eyes may become tired after playing for a long time. There is depth in the 3D vision, when Sora jumps out of the screen, itâ€™s almost becomes a burden to oneâ€™s eyes. I think itâ€™s probably best to use the 3D vision during cutscenes.

There will be multiplayer functions, weâ€™ll explain more in a follow up report.

Final Notes
KH3D is set to release Spring 2012 in Japan.
Itâ€™s currently about 60% to 70% complete.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: There's still one more trailer...

Hello KH-Vids! Today we have another interesting update. Apparently the trailer that leaked was the one that was opened to the public at the Tokyo Game Show. Another trailer from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance was also presented in the closed theater. There were extra scenes that werre reported by Arika from Rebirth Wings. Translations provided by SQEXGAL.

Radiant Garden
There was no voices in this scene, just subtitles.
The viewpoint is shaky; the laboratory is in ruins as if an explosion occurred.
It seems to be from young Xehanortâ€™s POV.
For a moment, Even and Ienzo are shown collapsed too.
Braig: Xehanort! What were you thinking?
As if something clicked when he heard those words, his shaky POV focuses on Braig.
Braig: Have your memories returned?
Xehanort summons a Keyblade.
He brandishes it towards Braig and seems on the verge of blacking out.

Arika was able to see this scene while waiting for the demo, this scene was voiced.
Neku: Iâ€™m Nekuâ€¦ Neku Sakuraba. Thatâ€™s my name.
Sora: Neku Sakuraba? What an interesting name!
Neku: Itâ€™s nothing special.

Dream Drop Distance: Theory & Recap of TGS

Hey everyone. It's about that time where we should do a full recap of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance during the Tokyo Game Show.

Before we start looking back at the information we've received; I also wanted to share a theory. If you agree or disagree, feel free to make your point on the discussion. Also feel free to add your own theory. Please note this thread will contain a number of spoilers if you haven't played Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded.

[video=youtube;BM7Ocb4Kvnw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM7Ocb4Kvnw[/video]

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance seems to have a very confusing plot. Usually this is the case with all titles from the series, but this time there's something really special about this new Kingdom Hearts title. The first Kingdom Hearts linked to "Ansem". As we moved on between the Crossroads in Chain of memories we were curious of the organization and Namine (who held such power over Sora's memories). Moving forward into the series; In Kingdom Hearts II we learned about the nobodies and that the real Ansem was only a fraud. It was the one and only Xehanort that links back to the past. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days we found out who Xion was and how she became number 14; along with the powerful relationship between Roxas, Axel and Xion. In time, Birth by Sleep was released and we were taken back in time (about ten years before the first Kingdom Hearts). Sora wasn't the only keyblade wielder. It all started with Aqua, Ven and Terra. Thus we've learned that Xehanort (the old man) was responsible for Kingdom Hearts and he was indeed the one who impacted many worlds with Vanitas (apprentice). Finally, Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded was released half a year ago. It was the perfect link between the letter that Sora received in the end of Kingdom Hearts II that pieced the puzzle together for Mickey and Yen Sid.

...And now there is Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. What makes this title so different? Is Sora and Riku training to become the official keyblade wielders? What does sleep have to do with Dream Drop Distance because the title and "sleep" doesn't have anything to do with each other. Now when I think of Dream Drop Distance I think of "bold action" because Nomura has said it so many times. At any rate, I was putting it together. "Sleep" right now is the only thing I can comprehend. FACT. Ven is sleeping. What if this was a way to save Ven or perhaps communicate with Sora in regards to Aqua and Terra. Could this be a piece to the puzzle? At the end of Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded - it was Mickey and Yen Sid who learned where Ven's whereabouts. Could it be possible that my future Kingdom Hearts videos above (which I made made) really link to the future of the new title from the series? The link remains with the "keyhole of sleep". That's the mystery.

The Tokyo Game Show recap is coming up later tonight! Post your thoughts now KHV.

It appears that Master Xehanort has returned. It's his keyblade that you see at the end while Braig is asking him if his memory has returned.

Dream Drop Distance: Translations from TGS Trailer

As the Tokyo Game Show almost come to an end; FF-Reunion has posted information and dialogue from the Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance trailer shown at the event.

SQEXGal has posted full translations from the trailer. Now all we have to do is wait until the trailer leaks online....

It starts in Yen Sid’s room, Yen Sid sits in his chair behind his desk, Sora and Riku stand across from him. They appear in their KH2 outfits, but Riku’s hair is short.

Yen Sid: From here, you two will take the Mark of Mastery Exam.
Sora, surprised: Even without taking it, no one can beat me!
Riku, facing downward: Having walked the path of darkness, I wonder if it’d really be right for me to wield the Keyblade. You’d have to make sure.
Sora: Riku…

Yen Sid: Let’s open the keyhole of sleep. If you return back to this place, then I will consider you Masters.

Sora on a balcony, opens his eyes.
Sora: Huh, where is this place? My clothes changed! More importantly, where’d Riku go?
Sora leans over the balcony and calls out in a loud voice: Heeeey! Riiiikuuu!
A mysterious boy descends from a rooftop in ambush: You’re so loud, stupid Noise.
Sora is surprised and jumps off the balcony.
Neku: You’re Sora…

Yen Sid: A large number of Heartless reside in the world of darkness. Instead, in the world submerged in sleep there exists a particular key. That is, creatures who consume dreams known as the Dream Eaters. Searching for the Dream Eaters will guide you to the key of sleep.

(Battle action sequences of Sora are shown.)

Neku, showing Sora the scarlet mark on his hand: This is from the Game. All the participants have it engraved upon them. I can’t afford to lose this Game!
Sora: I don’t really get ‘the Game’, but maybe I can lend a hand?

The scene changes to the world of Notre Dame.
Riku is speaking with Quasimodo who is holding Esmeralda: Quasimodo, where did the creatures go?
Quasimodo: To the rooftop of cathedral.
A Dream Eater with wings like a butterfly descends upon them.
Quasimodo: Me too, me too, I’ll fight too!

The scene returns to Neku and Sora in a plaza inTraverse Town.
Sora, facing Neku: Come to think of it, I didn’t ask your name.
All of a sudden several Dream Eaters appear around them!
Neku with surprise: Dream Eaters!
Sora: That’s a weird name.
Neku, pointing at the Dream Eaters: Not me, those!

Yen Sid: Opening the keyhole of sleep, along with finding a new power, the power locked in sleep will become revealed as well.

The trailer continues, showing the AR capabilities of playing with the Dream Eater pets, it’s a lot like Nintendogs. Maybe you’ll be able to raise them up too?

In a laboratory somewhere, a researcher has collapsed.
From this person’s POV, Xigbar becomes visible.
Xigbar: Xehanort! Have your memories returned?

From the view of the person referred to as Xehanort, a Keybalde appears before his eyes.

The screen then blacks out theatrically, displaying KINGDOM HEARTS 3D Dream Drop Distance, Spring 2012.

Tetsuya Nomura: Sharing Information On the KH Official Twitter

The Tokyo Game Show kicked off on September 15th 2011. We've received a good amount of information; what are your thoughts? Are you ready for the new trailer from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance? I guess I shouldn't ask that question since a lot of you are just as crazy as me...or not (I swear that the first two days I was up for TGS, attending classes and going to work with only ten hours of sleep).

Anyway, Nomura has updated the official Kingdom Hearts Twitter today. Her's what he has to say about the battle system in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance.

Translation by SQEXGAL

Free Flow Action

You can perform various bold actions by pressing the Y button depending on the terrain whether it is a wall, street post, handrail, etc. will allow you to kick off the wall, spin around the pole, or slide across the handrail.

For example, when you use the Y button to jump kick off a wall, you can press the Y button again to glide through the air for a longer period of time. Keeping it up, when you encounter a new object you can press Y again to perform a new action. Additionally, during Free Flow Action you can use a strong attack by pressing the A button, jump high with the B button, etc.; please discover the various Free Flow Action abilities!

Free Flow Action Simple Explanation

Press Y and fly towards an object > Continue actions by pressing Y > Use a strong attack with the A button or jump high with the B button. *In case you have trouble doing the Free Flow Action, try jumping in front of a target with the B button and then pressing Y.

Reality Shift

When you are fighting, a different cursor may be displayed on enemies and barrel like objects on the top screen. When that happens, press the X and A buttons at the same time and then look at the lower screen, you can now perform a special attack. In short, attack > wait for cursors to appear > press X and A at the same time.

Dual Link

In this game your companions will be the monsters called Dream Eaters, in the demo you start off where you already have 2 companions. When you fill up their gauge, the Dream Eaters’ icons flash. If you press their blinking icons on the bottom screen, you can initiate a cooperative attack with them. If you save up both their gauges, you can utilize them both at the same time for an especially strong cooperative attack.

That is the explanation of the 3 new systems being introduced. I’ve left out the details, but above all please try at least one of them in the demo. Moreover, I think you’ll all enjoy them.

During the boss fight in Riku’s scenario, you are flying through the air, however try daringly jumping off the building. In this stage Riku can fight midair so to some extent you can fight without falling. Since KH3D includes so many various bold actions, please try them out! Well then, have fun at TGS!

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: influenced by Dragon Ball Z?

It's the Tokyo Game Show! Gear up for all the latest news revolving Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. We'll have all the latest information regarding the new playable demo and it's new trailer that will be available for the public.

It's day two for the Tokyo Game Show and yet we still remain patient towards the potential leaked trailer and playable demo. Although it still hasn't surfaced online; fans including myself will start to become aggravated, so please make the right decision Square-Enix.

An interesting piece of article comes straight from Siliconera. They insist that Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Has A Bit Of Dragon Ball Z Influence.

Riku, who has a new look with short hair, begins the Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance demo in the Hunchback of Notre Dame world. He sees Quasimoto clutching an injured Esmeralda. As soon as I got control of Riku, I ran into weak enemies and hit them by pressing A for a basic attack. The other attack changes depending on which moves you have in a deck. You can rotate through spells like Dark Fire, Cura, and Blizzaga plus techniques such as Dark Breaker by pressing up and down on the D-pad. The slide pad makes your character move, B is for jump, and L/R rotate the camera.

I figured it wasn’t worth fighting vanilla monsters with Esmeralda wounded, so I ran straight to the next area. A mini-map on the bottom screen lets you know where to go and it’s possible, at least in the Tokyo Game Show demo, to run past enemies.

You have to fight bosses and Riku’s side has a purple-ish lizard with a square torso. Maybe it’s something like a purple dragon bursting out form a colorful cardboard box. The monster flies all around the screen, which may have been a challenge in previous Kingdom Hearts games, but not Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Riku can fly too by holding B and has no problem hovering in the air.

I flew towards the boss prepared to use Dark Breaker and noticed a bunch of nodes encircling the battlefield. Hit one of these and you can connect the nodes by drawing lines on the touch screen. This sends Riku barreling on the path you created, useful for closing distance when you’re up against tough monsters. All of the flying and high speed action made Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance feel like it has a touch of Dragon Ball Z.

I beat the boss by using basic attacks and waiting from the monster to think its closing in on me. After I defeated it a Wondernyan, a puppy like dream pet you can control, showed up and wagged its tail before the screen that thanked people for playing the game. We’ll talk more about partner characters when we share impressions of Sora’s story later this week.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is further in development than you may believe. The Nintendo 3DS game is slated for a spring 2012 release in Japan.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: The Demo Report

It's the Tokyo Game Show! Gear up for all the latest news revolving Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. We'll have all the latest information regarding the new playable demo and it's new trailer that will be available for the public.

This would be the very first full demo report we have recieved in regards to Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. The demo report comes straight from KHInsider's krexia who was able to attend the event and inform us about the demo that can be found at the Tokyo Game Show.

SORA'S SCENARIO
We start off with Sora back in Traverse Town. He's got new clothes but... he apparently doesn't know why! It seems he's been separated from Riku, and Sora immediately yells out for his friend. It's then that we first see Neku Sakuraba from The World Ends with You. Neku promptly tells Sora to shut his noisy mouth and asks if he is a participant in the "Reapers' Game". Since Sora doesn't have the countdown stamp on his hand like Neku, it appears he is not.

Sora heroically offers his help to Neku as a friend. Neku retorts that Sora can't make friends that easy, to which Sora replies that it is easy. Neku then promptly dashes off into Traverse Town in midair in a cloud of sparkles.

It's here you gain control of Sora, fighting through Traverse Town. The X button on the 3DS is your "freeflow" button, which will allow Sora and Riku to do all sorts of crazy and fast maneuvers such as bouncing off of walls and swinging around poles. The idea behind this mechanic is freedom of movement based around objects in the environment.

While in freeflow you can attack by pressing the attack button, and it will be contextual to where you are in freeflow. It's particularly flashy and fun to execute. However, it seems that the camera is a bit slow with keeping up with these maneuvers.

Commands are structured just like Birth by Sleep and Re:coded in which you can cycle through abilities. Use one and there will be a cooldown before you can use it again. You get the idea.

At the end of Sora's scenario he fights a boss. The boss can described as boxy with long arms. It can attack from a distance by shooting it's arms into the foreground. This looks particularly impressive in 3D.

After the boss is defeated, Sora's scenario ends.

RIKU'S SCENARIO
We see Quasimodo carrying Esmerelda towards the cathedral of Notre Dame when we first visit Le CitÃ© des Cloches (The City of Bells). Riku is with them and also sporting a new outfit and shorter hair. It seems he is protecting them.

Riku battles inside the cathedral, and you can freeflow between the pillars inside. It's important to note that Sora and Riku are now accompanied by new companions we've seen in the keyart. Sora's companions are described as a panda-like creature and a smaller more "squirrely" companion. Riku's companions are described as something resembling a unicorn and a bat.
When the group reaches the top of the cathedral, Riku's boss fight begins. It's a winged flying boss, and for this fight Riku is able to fly. You must jump up to the roof and chase it in flight around the cathedral. This is also impressive looking in 3D.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: Information from Trailer

It's the Tokyo Game Show! Gear up for all the latest news revolving Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. We'll have all the latest information regarding the new playable demo and it's new trailer that will be available for the public.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance is releasing spring 2012 in Japan. No official date has been announced at this time. A trailer and playable demo has been featured at the event for the new Kingdom Hearts title; but the both of these have yet to leak online.

In the mean time; SQEX Gal has provided us with information from the trailer.

The trailer begins with Yen Sid’s voice explaining the circumstances of the adventure taking place this time around. It seems Riku and Sora will be contending to finally become Keyblade Masters. It takes place in “the world submerged in sleep”, but the details are still unknown. Also, the enemies are called Dream Eaters, goblins who consume sleep.

Once again, Sora descends into Traverse Town, calling in search for Riku, when he hears the voice of a new character say, “The Noise are horrible…” The guest character appearing is Neku, the headphones toting main character from “It’s a Wonderful World” (The World Ends With You). It seems Neku is caught in the Reaper’s Game, where if you cannot complete the mission given by the Reapers, your existence will be eliminated. But he doesn’t have a partner; it seems Sora may be lending him a hand?

Then suddenly the round form of an adorable creature appears. That creature is shown rolling about on the flat top side of a hand using the camera function. Just like a puppy, you can see it’s belly. Seems you can pet it using the touch pad, it looks so cute when it’s eyes light up! It seems Sora befriends it, riding upon it during battle and hopping around upon it. Also, it’s so speedy it’s hard to tell what’s happening, but since the original concept of the title is “bold action”, it seems that the battles are more refreshing than anything in the series so far!

There is also a surprise in the final scene. There is a cutscene from Xehanort’s point of view, the camera faces Braig who says, “Has your memory returned?” Maybe this will be one of the memories explained in this title.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: Information From Demo

It's the Tokyo Game Show! Gear up for all the latest news revolving Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. We'll have all the latest information regarding the new playable demo and it's new trailer that will be available for the public.

More information from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and it's playable demo has surfaced from this year's Tokyo Game Show. As of this time; the trailer and playable demos have not leaked online as of this time yet. We'll keep you posted.

Neku appears as a guest character in Sora's side of the TGS demo -- though not a playable guest. Both Neku and his rival/friend/frienemy Riku team up with captured dream-monsters this time around rather than fighting alongside licensed characters. Neku's role is more that of the Disney-world guests from previous games. He shows up, reveals that he's caught in a "game," leaving him 43 minutes to win or die. Naturally, he asks Sora to be his partner but ultimately decides the tousle-haired protagonist is "a weird guy" and takes off. Sora follows, riding rails in pursuit of Neku, but quickly encounters a boss battle set in a cul-de-sac of Traverse Town.

Both sides of the demo (Sora and Riku) are essentially the same, really: A brief story set-up, a few set encounters, and a boss fight. Riku interacts with Quasimoto from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is admittedly less interesting than Neku; on the other hand, Riku has a double-jump, which is always great. The demo is just enough to give a feel for what KH3D adds to the series. While the camera is still a hyperactive mess that makes boss battles a pain (all the 3DS's buttons are used, so there's no lock-on system that I could find), everything else about the game feels significantly improved over previous Kingdom Hearts. The action is fluid and smooth, with much more refined combat. Fighting enemies feels less like combo-driven button mashing that locks your hero into canned animations than in previous installments, and your skill set has been improved considerably. Both demo characters possess a standard repertoire of magic skills such as Cura and Blizzaga, which are activated and cycled through as they were in Birth By Sleep, but they also can perform special Dual Link attacks with their partners by pressing Y.
Dual Link skills are context-sensitive and seem to vary according to your current partners, enemies, and positioning. You can pull off different skills while on the ground or in the air. A key part of these skills seems to be something called (inexplicably) Holy Rope, which are a series of nodes placed around battlefields. Pressing A and X while near one of these Holy Rope points freezes the action and allows you to use the touch screen to draw connections between points on the area map, which then sends Sora or Riku dashing through the air along the prescribed course. Using the Holy Rope paths to intersect foes allows you to pull off standard or special attacks while they're otherwise out of reach.

The TGS demo of Dream Drop Distance is fairly brief -- about 20 minutes to complete both portions -- but shows a game that looks and plays beautifully. Square hasn't formally announced a U.S. release date for KH3D, but the notion that they wouldn't localize such a sure hit is enough to get a man laughed out of the room. Honestly now.
