Good eeeevening to you all! Right now it is approximately 7pm in Japan, so we still have quite a lot of time left to Jump Festa 2012!

Since Famitsu posted quite a long trailer impression, it was only typical that we would eventually do a translation of it! I urge you all to keep in mind though that I'm not a full-fledged translator by any means, so some of it may be inaccurate or purely wrong. Of course, we'll eventually see the Promotional Video within a short time, so for now this will have to tie over all you eager fans out there!

The impression is in the "Read More" button below, so that if you're trying to avoid spoilers, you don't have to view it~

The main cast of Square Enix game It's a Wonderful World/The World Ends with You , including Joshua and Daisukenojo "Beat" as seen in the image from V-Jump magazine. In addition to these two, Beat's younger sister Rhyme is slated to appear, as well as Neku's first week partner, Shiki Misaki. At this time, it seems that they all appear at some point in Traverse Town.

La Cité des Cloches has also been seen with both Quasimodo and Frollo appearing.

One of the biggest revelations has been in relation to the world of TRON returning, but this time as the world seen in the 2011 movie TRON: Legacy. Apparently it appears in the form of a shooter game, with the vessel coming out of the screen. This sounds like it could be re-enacting one of the final scenes from the movie, in which Sam and Kevin Flynn, along with Quorra are being chased by CLU, Rinzler and their men. It would seem this is more of a sub-world, like Space Paranoids was, as opposed to a full-fledged world.

King Mickey, Donald and Goofy all re-appear in the world of The Three Musketeers, shown to be named "The Country of The Musketeers", but they are not the trio that we know from other games in the series. Although Mickey seems to know some information about the Keyblade and also Sora, he is not the same King Mickey that we know. In addition to this, the world seems to be adorned with many stages, and a mention of opera also comes forth. The Musketeers seem to go by the motif of "All for one, and one for all".

Some of the members of Organization XIII have also been seen in the trailer. Zexion seems to appear in his Birth by Sleep attire, wearing a white lab coat. Lexeaus also appears, although it isn't clear if he is in the Radiant Garden Guard uniform or his Organization cloak. Axel also appears in his Organization cloak, but it seems that he is in the mindset of his Somebody, Lea, as seen when he states "The name's Lea. Got it memorized?" How much of his past will come to light?

Maleficent is set to appear, as well as Pete. It seems that she is after the Hearts of Pure Light, although this time it seems that these hearts reside in each world. She also makes some reference to (assumedly) Master Xehanort and his quest to find the Hearts of Pure Light in Birth by Sleep.

In one of the cutscenes shown, the player is falling through the hollow center of an empty staircase, assumed to be much like, if not the same staircase shown in the post-game Chain of memories artwork, and also the Kingdom Hearts II opening. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, both Roxas and Xion appear, confronting each other. The Keyblade is then thrust into the ground, shattering it much like the Deep Dive sequences in former games.[note: the last sentence was worded quite oddly, so it may not be what occurred at all.]

Some scenes with both Riku and Sora take place, as well as Master Xehanort appearing. The trailer ends with a boy appearing in an Organization cloak and eventually reveals his face to be none other than Vanitas!
