The Princesses arent the only Disney thing in the games. They've been most important so far, but we cant judge the future; only the present and the past.

And that Fan-dub sounds so much like the official english version, only we dont even have a japanese date yet!

And it uses sound bites from existing games. All that dialog has already been recorded all the way back to KH1.

Here's some Mega update including the demo's scenario description

Sora's Scenario:

We start off with Sora back in Traverse Town. He's got new clothes but... he apparently doesn't know why! It seems he's been separated from Riku, and Sora immediately yells out for his friend. It's then that we first see Neku Sakuraba from The World Ends with You. Neku promptly tells Sora to shut his noisy mouth and asks if he is a participant in the "Reapers' Game". Since Sora doesn't have the countdown stamp on his hand like Neku, it appears he is not.

Sora heroically offers his help to Neku as a friend. Neku retorts that Sora can't make friends that easy, to which Sora replies that it is easy. Neku then promptly dashes off into Traverse Town in midair in a cloud of sparkles.

It's here you gain control of Sora, fighting through Traverse Town. The X button on the 3DS is your "freeflow" button, which will allow Sora and Riku to do all sorts of crazy and fast maneuvers such as bouncing off of walls and swinging around poles. The idea behind this mechanic is freedom of movement based around objects in the environment.

While in freeflow you can attack by pressing the attack button, and it will be contextual to where you are in freeflow. It's particularly flashy and fun to execute. However, it seems that the camera is a bit slow with keeping up with these maneuvers.

Commands are structured just like Birth by Sleep and Re:coded in which you can cycle through abilities. Use one and there will be a cooldown before you can use it again. You get the idea.

At the end of Sora's scenario he fights a boss. The boss can described as boxy with long arms. It can attack from a distance by shooting it's arms into the foreground. This looks particularly impressive in 3D.

After the boss is defeated, Sora's scenario ends


Riku's Scenario

We see Quasimodo carrying Esmerelda towards the cathedral of Notre Dame when we first visit Le Cité des Cloches (The City of Bells). Riku is with them and also sporting a new outfit and shorter hair. It seems he is protecting them.

Riku battles inside the cathedral, and you can freeflow between the pillars inside. It's important to note that Sora and Riku are now accompanied by new companions we've seen in the keyart. Sora's companions are described as a panda-like creature and a smaller more "squirrely" companion. Riku's companions are described as something resembling a unicorn and a bat.

When the group reaches the top of the cathedral, Riku's boss fight begins. It's a winged flying boss, and for this fight Riku is able to fly. You must jump up to the roof and chase it in flight around the cathedral. This is also impressive looking in 3D.

Looking awesome! I like Riku's new look! :) Though I'm quite unsure about Sora looking the same as his fourteen-year-old self, albeit the new outfit change. :?

Reading all this new info felt like a big WTF. :lol: A character from The World Ends With You (which I never played, even though Nomura was part of it), and Riku and Sora are paired up with pandas, squirrels, and unicorns…? :lol: I’m interested to see where this all goes. Maybe Nomura decided to create original characters that are Disney-esque rather than FF-esque for once. Hmm.

Can't wait to see Quasi's KH design, along with seeing Notre Dame too, sounds like this game might be worth upgrading my DS

practically the whole fandom agrees.

Here's the 2nd trailer for Dream Drop, it gives us a glimpse of the forementioned scenarios and a cut scene from Paris (Hunchback) despite the cam quailty, I'd say the animation for the disney worlds have improved, Quasi/Esmeralda looks fantastic, wonder if they're gon'na bring the Gargoyles too

Jason Alexander would probably be available for Hugo. I can't imagine him not turning down a paycheck right now.......probably perhaps the gargoyles help in some way. Perhaps some of the dream eaters/heartless/nobody/etc resemble some of the types of Gargoyles. Also It will be interesting to see if Frollo is involved. I imagine he is, though I'm interested to see what content get put in that world.

Am I the only one kind of feeling cheated out of getting more than a few new worlds in this game?

I'm really glad this game is coming out on the 3DS! That way I can buy this and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, too.

This game honestly looks (and sounds, from some of the spoilers I've read) amazing. I'm glad they've gone back to the Riku-Sora relationship for this one, because they're probably my favorite part about the series, tbh.

I just wish Kingdom Hearts 3 would hurry up and get here already! This is crazy. I mean, I understand why Kingdom Hearts 2 took so long, considering I don't think the creators of the first game knew how big it would be and that they would be making a sequel. But going into KH2, Square Enix already knows the games are a big seller. It's kind of ridiculous to delay for this long.

I'd really like to know if DDD is an actual installment of the series or just a filler game like 352/8 Days. Considering we've got to wait so long for KH3, I hope this is a game with substance.
