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!

Y button? I thought X was the Freestyle button? Well, in any case, I'm kind of nervous that this will be a button masher, similar to the Reaction Commands in KHII--because that's basically what these things are. Fortunately, we still have the command system from BBS, and that's presumably not going anywhere at all.

So I'm guessing a mix of all that was good in the series. Yay.

I like how different this game is though. In all the games previous there was something just similar to them. This game changes things a lot. Though I will miss having MP.

This game might actually get me to buy a 3DS. Plus being able to play 358/2 Days and Re:coded won't be too bad ether.

Was already in it. *reference to landing on the ground without so much as a twinge of pain after doing a big, big leap from a building*
