Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: Jump Festa Details + New Screens

Misty · Dec 16, 2011

As you guys may know, Jump Festa is beginning now, the first day being December 17th. Dream Drop Distance is slated to appear with a demo, an eight-minute promotional trailer, and a new world to be confirmed. We've got our first look with these control charts set out by Square near the demos:

Here's a summary of what the text says:

The chart at top shows how you can call out your Dream Eater companions by building up your Link Gauge. Below that is a look at the game's Free Flow Action system, where you can press Y while in the air to perform a variety of location-based actions.

The bottom chart shows the Reality Shift system. As previously detailed, when you attack enemies, their target icon will sometimes change. Press X and A at this time, or slide down on the touch panel, and you'll trigger a Realty Shift move. The chart shows a move called Wonder Comic where random characters from the Three Musketeers appear.

At the bottom of the second chart is the game's Drop system. When your Drop Gauge, shown in the screen's lower right, reaches 0, your character will fall asleep and you'll switch your character and stage. You can also trigger the Drop manually if you want to switch.

Additionally, we've got some new details on worlds & character appearances, including a Tron: Legacy world and the appearance of Rhyme from The World Ends With You!

According to FF Reunion, the Jump Festa demo included Pinocchio, Notre Dame, Three Musketeers and Tron Legacy stages. There was also a shooting mini game that had Sora glide through the stage.

Square Enix also showed a lengthy new trailer for the game. This clocked in at eight minutes and apparently showed Raimu Bito, the latest cameo from The World Ends With You.

...Best KH game yet? I'm starting to think so...

SQUARE-ENIX PLEASE TAKE ALL OF MY MUNNY *A*

Oh, a lot of news coming up now. Though I'm not sure if I like the cartoon-ish look.

There's a Tron Legacy world? Hell yes! But I thought they said all of the worlds would be new in this game. Wouldn't this be a return to Space Paranoids?

Noroz · Dec 17, 2011

Tron Legacy stages. I did not see this. I have a feeling it won't be very overwhelming though, probably similar to the one in KHII

There was also a shooting mini game that had Sora glide through the stage. Much like his Wisdom Form, I expect. Which makes me think, is there any information on whether or not there will be forms?

I wanna that game.
Now. I can't wait.

Reading all this... I think I won't sleep today. ::L:

Will this be really the best KH?

I dont like the Lock-On system that much. I try to see how it would be like by pressing A+X on my DS and it is a bit weird to me. But the new KH games have this control type thing option where you can switch what control type you want now so I'll just wait if they bring back L+R or something like that.

Wow, I had thought they had done away with the automatic switching of characters (Drop). Guess not. Looks epic! Just need to save up for a 3DS.......

Sweet!

All I want for christmas is a 3DS. Besides that, I just want cash for ikkicon. Only reason I really want the 3DS is this.

This game sounds awesome.
Although I do wish they'd stop making games for handhelds.
