"We don't have any other solid plans, but the series has had alot of support from fans in North America, so I hope we can do something special for them as well."

Nomura....please just be trolling around when you say that. _{(like when they ask you if there is gonna be a FM and you say, "not sure" and there ends up being one 3 months later.)}

what the hell happened to 13 worlds per game?

[Tsunamo]

This is the first time we’re doing this, but there’s a surprise during the end credits. So even when the credits start to roll, don’t put down your N3DS, and don’t let your guard down!

First thing that popped into my head after reading that was some sort of extra boss battle while the credits are rolling, but It'll probably be a cutscene.

We do not know it these are all worlds. plus maybe they are bigger than usual?

Actually I'm hoping for that.

I found BBS's worlds to be a little too short or small.

Bigger worlds sound much better than having a bunch of small worlds.

I'm going to try and type out part of the article:

GOING THE DISTANCE
"Set after the events of all prior games in the series, Dream Drop Distance sees the return of both Sora and Riku as playable characters. A new, as-yet-unrevealed threat looms on the horizon, and whatever it is seems to have King Mickey and the sorcerer Yen Sid pretty spooked. To ensure that our heroes are adequately prepared for the impending conflict, Yen Sid tasks Sora and Riku with completing the Mark of Mastery exam and thus becoming Keyblade Masters.

Previously, Kingdom Hearts titles took place in Disney-themed worlds that were plunged into darkness and overrun with malicious creatures known as the Heartless. As we learn in Dream Drop Distance, there also exist worlds that have been trapped in a mysterious slumber. The Mark of Mastery exam requires Sora and Riku to liberate those Sleeping Worlds and combat unfamiliar foes dubbed Dream Eaters.

Most of the destinations are completely new to the series, including worlds based on Fantasia, Tron: Legacy, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The game begins, however, on the familiar streets of Traverse Town. Many longtime fans will no doubt bemoan the thought of returning to that quiet burg for what seems like the 400th time. Fortunately, this particular sojourn is made more interesting by the presence of some unexpected visitors: the cast of Nintendo DS gem The World Ends with You. (Anyone who hasn't experienced that brilliantly creative title should do so as soon as possible. You'll thank us later). WhenSora arrives in Traverse Town, he runs into TWEWY's perpetually irritable protagonist Neku, and the interplay between their polar-opposite personalities proves instantly amusing. Sora cheerfully offers to be Neku's friend no more than 20 seconds after meeting him, causing the latter to respond tersely, "You're weird." The two nonetheless decide to stick together for the time being.

That's how the game opens if you start with Sora, anyway. You also have the option to kick things off with Riku, and in that case you'll be greeted by the enigmatic Joshua (also from TWEWY) in Traverse Town. Each hero's quest unfolds in its own way, but just because you choose one doesn't mean you'll miss out in the other. Instead you'll switch back and forth between the two via the Drop Gauge. This meter decreases with the passage of time and due to other factors like the presence of sleeping gas or certain enemy attacks. Though you can slow the meter's pace via special items and other strategic means, once it's empty you'll immediately switch to the other character, even if you're in the midst of battle. Then after the Drop Gauge runs out with that character, you'll pick up where you left off with the previous one. It's an unconventional way for the game to present two stories in parallel and keep the player invested in both.
