Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] teases new information for upcoming updates

[Raxaimus 300]

The second anniversary for the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] is almost here! Currently, the game is featuring "countdown quests" to prepare for the celebration, and during these quests, a new pet feature was teased. While there isn't much information currently available for this new feature, a variety of pets will be available starting in mid-September! Thanks to Mio-chan and Lady Aleister for helping out with the translations.

 

It isn't currently known how these pets will be obtained, nor if they will be purely cosmetic or provide in-game benefits.

 

Update 8/27 PT: The second countdown quest teases that a "2nd Anniversary Commemoration Cup" will be held starting September 18th JST, and with it the Union Armor sets last seen in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]'s 3rd Anniversary event will arrive!

 

Spoiler

Update 8/28 PT: Players will be able to customize and strengthen their pets! Options shown include Head, Ears, Body, Feet, Tail, and Accessories.

 

Spoiler

Update 8/29 PT: Also coming in September, players will be able to increase their level past the previous level cap of 300!

 

Spoiler

Update 8/30 PT: Coming 9/1 is a new EX Medal? Who will it be?

Huh, interesting! I can't wait to see what their purpose is!

Chirithy isn't going to like this. LOL 

 

EDIT: UNION ARMORS! WHOOOOOOO!

[G-SANtos 105]

I bet this is going to come with a super convoluted subplot about how the events of the Keyblade War tie into the present day or something. Inb4 Xehanort is killed by Sora's pink and silver cat.

Thanks for informing us about this, Raxaimus!

 

Ah yes, that's right, the second anniversary for KHUX in Japan is coming this September! Dang, time sure flies!

 

I wonder what are the other big "large-scale" updates that will come about? Especially the story?

Hm, are those Dreameaters?  Well regardless, I would like to have a cute little animal sidekick that isn't Chirithy!  I wonder if we'll be able to choose what kind of animal we get?

[BlankShell 638]

Huh, we don't have much of a "bestiary" in KH, so I'm curious to see how these animals are classified. Hopefully since it's an overall game feature (as opposed to content) NA gets it soon after!

Cute. But seriously hope to God that this pet feature won't be connected to Kingdom Hearts 3. I can deal with the dream eaters being as my pets in Dream Drop Distance. But not in Kingdom Hearts 3.
