Hearing Nomura mention that people think it is the masterpiece of the series just kicked my expectations higher.
"Congratulations you've reached Level 5 of Hype mode! Would you like to search for spoilers?" "...mayb- NO! *runs away*"

Also I now have a mental image of a muscular Sora kicking down a wall with a Lancer in his hands from Gears of War and smoking a cigar after reading that "KH is not KH when it does not kick in walls" statement. At least he isn't punching a boulder because that would be ridiculous.

That just made me wonder if there's going to be a Critical Mode. I really hope so.

So excited about this game. I'm so conflicted about whether I want to spoil myself. It'll have to depend on the NA release date. If it's in June, I'll wait. Anything after that will be too long to wait, I'll have to spoil myself.

I'm glad you can unlock the secret ending in beginner mode~

It's good for the crappy gamers like me, lol

Wow, I didn't expected to be called a Masterpiece...I can't wait! I might spoil myself...

I trust Nomura with giving us a good title, even though it is on a handheld.
Im sure he is well aware were all anxious and waiting for 3 and will give us something
to hold us over that leaves more of an impact that 358/2 Days or Coded.
Birth by Sleep was good too though.

But I feel that Dream Drop will be a very important title and a crucial game in the KH timeline.
Like one you need to play.

... Come out in the USA now gosh darnit. XD

Happy Birthday 10th Kingdom Hearts :D

This game will be awesome and I shall spoil myself to no end so that my fanfic I started can get finished XD

Now when is it coming out in America would be awesomeness!

Wait, it's out now? Oh man, I gotta go watch a walkthrough on youtube. There's no way I can miss this.

And haven't we always been able to get the Secret Ending on Beginner mode? Or was it just normal mode and critical mode?

This instantly made me think you meant pooing your pants :S

Anyways, ridiculously excited :D I will NOT allow for this to be spoiled for me. Birth by sleep was RUINED for me so the second this is released I will be ultra cautious right up untill I finish the game with secret ending and all.

Happy Birthday Kingdom Hearts~
I must not spoil myself, I must not. I'm really looking forward to DDD, hopefully Europe and the US will get a release date soon. Beginner mode? Yay. I'll stand a chance ;_;

Thanks, Mike.

Even more than the DS and PSP, I'll remind you that the 3DS isn't just a handheld, but effectively a mobile console. Just look at the graphics capabilities of it.

It will be hard to resist the spoils, but I will try! Very nice that they included the chance to unlock the secret ending in beginner mode. Can't wait!! Happy Birthday Kingdom Hearts!

Thanks for update! :D

Oh my goodness me,I shall make an effort to avoid spoilers.
But I have a feeling I shall not last until...Saturday maybe. Then I shall give in,and watch.
So much excitement.
Thank you Mike dear <3~

Unlocking the secret movie just by playing beginner mode? ...That kinda seems like a let down, to be honest. I mean, in all of the other games, one could just unlock the secret movie just by getting everything in Standard mode or just beating Proud mode (the former actually being the harder of the two to accomplish).

As to being the masterpiece of the series, final judgment should not be passed until one actually plays the game. Birth by Sleep was considered a masterpiece, but there were some things that it could have had to make it better. Examples being:

1. Being able to visit Atlantica as a way to explain how the hell King Triton knew about the Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts.

2. A boss fight with Lea in Ventus' story mode. Ventus got gypped when it comes to boss fights as Terra got to fight Braig while Aqua fought Vanitas in Radiant Garden. Ventus also could have had a boss fight in Olympus Coliseum as well.

3. Boss fights in Disney Town. Terra and Ventus could have fought Unversed bosses, while Aqua took on Pete/Captain Dark. At least with that last part, it would have been a legitimate reason for Pete to be locked away, unlike the stupid reason Minnie locked him away for.

4. The world based on The Jungle Book liked they planned to have. There were not enough worlds to visit and not enough new worlds to the series in BBS.

Small as they may be, those are my main gripes with BBS. Other than that, I liked the game (mainly Aqua's story mode).

Well the waiting for Japan is over...Now the worse has come for the temptation on watching the gameplay and scenes >< I really wish it comes out sooner than expected in NA.

I have no idea what that means.

Explain?

I´m also very relieved that it is possible to get the secret ending, while playing on Beginner Mode, because I´m also not that skilled. It´s good to hear that I don´t need to fear frustration from failing on higher difficulties.

sweat!,
secret mode can unlock even in beginner
that great


thanks for news
