    We have some new info an scans! Famitsu finally released their issue and show a few new things. Our Member Vientiesis found some scans similar to these found on KH13 (Sorry Vient, vB is a major derp) and Our French brethren on Kingdom Hearts Destiny has some pretty big scans; link above. I didn't want to massively hotlink to them.

    I'm personally hoping that we get bigger more quality scans in the future. But we thank Kingdom Hearts Destiny for these big and clear scans. Enjoy!

    World Introduction: By SQEXGAL

    The Hunchback of Notredame world: “La Cité des Clochesâ€

    Appearing Characters

    • Quasimodo – The young man confined within Notredame Cathedral. He favors Esmeralda who helped him despite his appearance.

    • Esmeralda – A beautiful gypsy girl who loves her freedom. She has a strong sense of justice and has caught the eye of Frollo.

    • Phoebus – The skilled captain of the guard who was summoned by Frollo. Frollo orders him to eradicate the gypsies from the city, but he gradually begins to disobey.

    • Claude Frollo – He is a judge with substantial control of the city. Because of his hatred of gypsies, his methods of removing them become violent.

    There are great number of scenes including Sora telling Quasimodo to run, Riku meeting Esmeralda, and others involving Sora and Riku.

    Pinocchio world: “Prankster’s Paradiseâ€

    Appearing Characters

    • Blue Fairy – The fairy who breathes life into Pinocchio even though he is a doll.

    • Pinocchio – Having forgotten the promise he made to Geppetto and Jiminy, he accidently becomes dazed by fun things.

    • Geppetto – He is a craftsman that makes wooden toys. He creates Pinocchio and comes to love him like his own son.

    • Jiminy Cricket – A cricket residing in Geppetto’s home. He was ordered by the Blue Fairy to educate Pinocchio. This Jiminy Cricket does not have the memories of the Jiminy Cricket that traveled alongside Sora and company in the previous adventures.

    There are scenes around the circus entrance and within the circus tent, as well as Sora and Riku talking with the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio, and Jiminy Cricket.

    System Reality Shift

    In battle, attack the same enemy consecutively. When you lock on to specific objects, a special lock on marker appears. When that happens, you can use the special command “Reality Shift†by pressing the X and A buttons. During that, Sora/Riku disappear from the battle and special actions take place on the lower screen. The Reality Shift command introduced is called “Holy Ropeâ€. Using it, you tie up targets in a line on the bottom screen, then on the top screen a chain appears to attack the enemies one after another in the way you drew it.

    Dream Eaters

    There are ally and enemy Dream Eaters introduced in battle. Nightmares are enemies, Spirits are allies.

    Nightmares

    • Zou Elephant – An elephant with jutting, purple tusks. It attacks with its large body and long nose. Its long range attacks like firing rocks are its strong points. If you meet the requirements by partnering with a large Dream Eater, you can invoke the “Blow Off†technique to combat it. After twirling your Dream Eater ally around, you can fling it at the enemy.

    • Dokudoku Lizard (Poisonous Lizard) – A Dream Eater that resembles a fancy purple salamander. From above, it sprinkles poison in a wide range, and can also attack by stretching its long, poisonous tongue.

    • Ice Penguin – It is dark gray, yellow, and green around its back and belly, with a purple riveted ring around its neck. Sliding across the ground, it attacks within the area it surrounds. It will also abruptly make blocks of ice surround its body.

    • Dragon Horse – A nightmare resembling a seahorse. It attacks by shooting water like balls from its mouth.

    • Neko Cat – The nightmare version is violet. It moves around sneakily; if you come in contact with the lightning balls it drops you receive damage.

    Spirits

    • Goat Horn – A dream eater’s whose horns resemble a wind instrument. It’s cooperating technique envelopes the Keyblade in flames which make it more powerful.

    • Thorn Lion – A lion Dream Eater with a prickly mane and flat feet. A technique where the lion’s thorn tail can be brandished by Sora is introduced.

    Techniques

    By filling up the pink gauge you can execute co-op techniques with your ally Dream Eaters. For instance, Sora can ride atop a Dream Eater, and Riku can absorb the Dream Eaters to power himself up.​

    So...what do you all think? I'm wondering if Square has some fixation with the mon-systems lately, but we'll see how that turns out. Also, sorry about deleting the thread accidentally. It's just that trying to get attachments up suddenly became a full-scale war.

      There's something I don't understand. Are the worlds just illusions like the ones in CoM, or are they actual worlds that need to be saved from the dream realm. I'm asking becuase I don't understand where this Jiminy Cricket came from.

      I think those worlds need to be saved, in another dimension (Dream Realm) where Sora and Riku are, after all Yen Sid said they are going to that place. Or they would go to Traverse Town directly with the ship instead of wake up suddenly there. Is the only answer I could find, try to ask a Reporter.

      This is very cool! The game seems to be really fun to play, I'm looking forward to play it. =]

      Neko Cat? 'Neko' means cat in Japanese soooo.....It's a Cat Cat? XD At first I thought that the Dream Eaters were kind of bizarre looking (and they looked like pokemon...) but they're starting to grow on me! I quite like them. Really looking forward to this game! Thanks for the update Chev! ^^

      I know many people hate this world but I dont mind exploring inside of Monstro again if we get to go there in Dream Drop Distance.

      The nightmares look really cool, along with the new places/worlds. I really can't wait for it :)

      I just thought of something. In Kingdom Hearts, wasn't it mentioned or implied that Jiminy Cricket's world was destroyed by the Heartless. If that's the case, how did it end up in the Dream Realm or whatever it's called?

      On a completely different note, do you think there'll be any more worlds based off of live-action movies, like Port Royal and Space Paranoids were in this game? If there are, I wonder what they could be as I'm drawing a blank on actual good live-action movies from Disney that they could use.

      EDIT: You might want to add the gargoyles to the character list under City of Bells, since there was a screenshot of them meaning they will be in the game.

      I wanted to see Sora interact with gargoyles. I guess I kind of got my wish
