Nomura said there was apparently a reason for them looking like their KH1 selves. Apparently, they'll have a different look later on or something.

**ForceStealer** · 09/04/2011

I would be totally on board with the "lost interest in shit after 2" if it weren't for Birth By Sleep. Seriously, if you haven't tried it, do so.

But OT, screw 3D, I want nothing to do with it.

Literally Who? · 09/04/2011

The name is fucking retarded.

Jaqen H'ghar · 09/04/2011

You know what, just call me back when we get a legit third part not this crap. And I'm also gonna say that if you guys have a PSP, seriously give Birth By Sleep a try.

HOLY SHIT

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Seriously, this TGS is on fire. And even if you don't like TWEWY, just think of the possibilities.

Alex Strife · 09/15/2011

Oh my!!

My brother's going to be happy. TWEWY is one of his favourite games ever!!

~~Celes Chere~~ · 09/15/2011

TWEWY IS THE BEST GAME FOR THE DS

I AM SO HAPPY

NEKKKUUUU

IT IS WORTH IT TO BUY A 3DS FOR YOU... SO WORTH IT.

FINALLY some new clothes.

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.

Super Mario · 09/15/2011

World Ends With You! Interesting notion! Hoping for some more worlds from Square this time around. : ))

Hoping Tangled makes it through...

DrakeClawfang · 09/15/2011

If I knew what TWEWY was I'd be excited. I still am, but for a different reason - with a third franchise making it's entry into the series, all bets are off on who else could be getting in, from the Disney or SE side.

Alex Strife · 09/15/2011

You thought KH's plot was convoluted? Just wait till they end up canonically crossing KH and Dissidia.

DrakeClawfang · 09/15/2011

I'm fairly certain that's their master plan, yes.

Also, something about Sora and Riku's new outfits bugged me, just figured out what it was - (SPOILER)

Makoeyes987 · 09/15/2011

Between the new outfits, and Neku's appearance... I'm honestly kinda interested now.

Homura Akemi · 09/15/2011

Neku?! Okay now I might buy this game

~~Celes Chere~~ · 09/15/2011

I think Sora, Kairi and Riku should meet Neku, Shiki, and Joshu. Because they're all like twins. (SPOILER) It's just that the TWEWY gang looks a lot cooler than they do... and hopefully won't be anorexic on a 3DS.
