Thanks to Alternator, we have a bit of new info on Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] from Tetsuya Nomura in the 3/15 issue of Famitsu!
- Kingdom Hearts 3D will be 35 hours; longer, of course, if you do all of the minigames and Dream Eater training
- Fighting style can be completey different depending on what Dream Eaters you use.
- The first package design for Kingdom Hearts 3D featured King Mickey mainly, with Riku and Sora as side parts. Nomura didn't feel like it fit the title, so he redesigned the cover to what it is now.
- Buying the game comes with one Augmented Reality (AR) card for one rare Dream Eater, but you'll be able to get the recipe for them in the game via StreetPass, but remember it will be rare to do so.
- The mysterious figure in the black coat isn't necessarily new, but they are important to the story.
- About the key phrase, "Those who are asleep in sadness": Sora and Riku are preparing to rescue them.
- At first they planned to have Sora go to original Tron world, and Riku go to Tron Legacy world.
- Other than Ansem and Xemnas who appear often, Lea and the mysterious silver haired boy are key characters.
- In the end we'll finally see Xemnas/Ansem's true form.
- Donald and Goofy couldn't be team mates this time because they are not Keyblade wielders. Thus the Dream Eaters were developed to serve as party members.
- The growth system of the Dream Eaters is connected to Sora and Riku's growth.
- Dream Eater's growth is like a breeding system, treating them well makes them grow better.
- The command system is different than BBS, it's more of a mix between Days and Re:coded's systems.
- King Wondernyan isn't an evolution of a Wondernyan, they are separate Dream Eaters.
- The main mini game you play with then is called Flick Crash, which combines speed and action aspects.
- You can name your Dream Eaters.
- There are 50 kinds of Dream Eaters you can partner with, however boss Dream Eaters are not included.
- The next issue of Famitsu will have more Nomura interview as well!
