KH3D Dream Drop Distance details revealed

[DChiuch 5,773]

Tetsuya Nomura has participated in an interview where he reveals new details about Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. This interview was recently posted on Famitsu.com along with new images, and has now been translated by andrisang.com. This translation, which reveals among other things that Nomura is considering new clothing for Sora and Riku, can be read below.

 

THE NAME

First up, the name. Is it "Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance" or "Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance"? The second one is correct. When you say Dream Drop Distance, you don't say 3D. Okay?

 

ACTIONS

Famitsu said that Sora's actions in the trailer looked a bit like the actions during his Kingdom Hearts 2 form changes. Nomura agreed. And there's a reason: they want players to be able to experience dynamic form change-like actions even as normal actions here.

 

Some of the actions shown in the trailer look like they might be tough to control. Nomura joked that at present the wall jump detection (in the trailer, you can see Riku springing off walls as he darts forward) is pretty severe, and the only the person who's in charge of that part of the programming can do it. They'll be making adjustments so that it will be easy to control in the end.

 

CHARACTER CHANGE

One of the biggest surprises from the original interview is that the promised character changes between Sora and Riku will be automatic and sudden -- that is, you'll suddenly be switched between the two characters when you're walking through town or in the heat of battle.

 

In the full interview, Nomura says that the main reason they decided to use this system was for "surprise." By taking away the feeling of security players have that if they reach a certain point the character will change, they can give rise to thrills. The character will suddenly change, perhaps when you feel like you want to continue playing as the current character, or maybe when you feel like you'd like to change. This will give players the enjoyment of coming up with their very own strategies for how to progress according to their expectations.

 

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SORA AND RIKU

Sora and Riku have different stories, with different bosses. While they visit the same worlds, they do so in different orders. They're not in the same place. In the trailer video, we see them in the same place, but this is rare.

 

The two characters have different actions, and different control methods. This area is related to a new system that has yet to be announced, said Nomura. You can think of the differences as being the same level as how in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Sora's card deck could be freely set while Riku used a preset deck.

 

MAIN VISUAL

The image you see at the upper right of this article is the first image visual for the game. It was made with Disney anime packaging in mind, said Nomura.

 

Nomura actually hasn't drawn any specific drawings for Kingdom Hearts 3D yet. He's actually looking into an idea of changing Sora and Riku's clothing. One of the reasons for this is that if the characters appear in the same clothing, some people might think that KH3D is a remake.

 

Of course, Sora and Riku have to appear in their original Kingdom Hearts forms as part of the story. Nomura said that he's considering having them appear in their current clothing at the start of the game, and change midway through.

Dream Drop Distance is an upcoming Kingdom Hearts title for the Nintendo 3DS, which was announced last year at E3 2010 as Kingdom Hearts 3D. More details will be revealed in the upcoming months.

awesome!

[TerraEarth 0]

Hmm, the whole randomly change thing reminds me sort of the FFXIII process. Maybe there are similarities.

[Keyoflight 0]

seems fun i cant wait i love the way he comes up with thing ^_^ gonna trade in my ds lite for a 3ds (gamestop usally does thing like u get money for trading in a old ds system for a new 1 )

[J. Severe 1,137]

Well... so you'll just randomly change between Sora & Riku even at the peak of an extremely intense battle?!!! And you might even switch to another world? Hmm... sounds interesting, and... "thrillful." Also, glad to know Nomura is thinking of changing Sora/Riku's outfits. I'm tired of people treating everything that's not KH3 or something that has Sora in his KH1 outfit as not important to the story, or a spinoff, or "filler." And it seems I can't call the game "Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance" anymore, just Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance or just Kingdom Hearts 3D. Ho boy...

[xinname 1]

what would be cool is if they had the armor as part of the outfit. Riku will need a special new outfit as well since he missed out during kh2. I wonder if Nomura will keep their main colors too.

? [ Kingdom Hearts III Develops eye to

 

?This article are presented as in the latest series and play a major role Riku, Sora [ Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop distance] ]. [ Kingdom Hearts ] series, only to have the taste and systems?Rasa every action, this time as I wonder where that is what the concept developed. So, Mr. Nomura Tetsuya, creator of the series, published in the Arekore that stage, I asked inquisitive. After all, how to read and correct this mysterious title?

 

 

? Nomura Tetsuya

 

[Kingdom Hearts] series, and Final Fantasy XIII] Verusasu director. As a creative producer, has participated in many works.

? [ Kingdom Hearts ] series can be seen in the direction of evolution [ 3D ]

 

- The title has been officially announced. Kataha reading "Kingdom Hearts 3D (Suridi) Drop Distance Dream" What?

 

Nomura Tetsuya (hereinafter referred to Nomura ), although "Dream Kingdom Hearts drop distance" is. Short part of the subtitle, "Kingdom Hearts 3D (Suridi)" I think that also would not call.

 

- "Drop Distance Dream" is the subtitle meaning. What is this mean?

 

Nomura?, "fall away" dream that is the image. As is the correct English grammar, with an emphasis was put on the sound. Among these "drop" the word, the system can be involved. The combination of three words and has various meanings.

 

- Trailer was released, the traditional [ Kingdom Hearts ] (hereafter, [ KH ]), it had become such an action is not the content of the series lots.

 

Nomura?[ KH ] based on the series, [ Final Fantasy ] (the [ FF ]) [-ish things evolved Verusasu XIII ] in [ KH ] something more evolved ness [ KH3D ] now. [ Verusasu XIII ] is "[ FFXIII ] There's paired "but in a pair of systems, see KH3D beginning with the [future] KH ] series. Both foundation systems are similar, [ Verusasu XIII ] in [ KH3D ] actions so as to rotate in such a large jump and pole dance in the air is not a form of evolution Tatsu Nohu they are not large. These flashy, bold action, [ KH ] comfortably guess, it does indicate the direction of evolution, including the fun, [ KHIII ] has become something eye to glimpse the future.

 

- All right. In [ KH3D ] Please tell us about the concept.

 

Nomura?now I said "bold action" concept is. [ KH ] The series has two work out numbering the title, there is a legitimate evolution do so, it works but the number of bold and challenging, I think. In particular [ 3D ] is [ KH: Birth by Sleep ] (the [ BbS ]) will make one more bold simplistic. [ KHIII ] because it is evolving in mind, you'll play it, [ KHIII ] may find or how to evolve.

 

- Looking at the behavior of Sora [ KHII ] could be seen as was the part that the actions of a similar change of form.

 

Nomura?'s right. Fomuchenji dynamic actions such as, I believe you can enjoy the action as normal.

 

- Rotates around the pole and Sora, but there were various actions and jumping from wall to wall Riku, what's difficult operation?

 

Nomura?is currently in the walls jump determination is severe, it is difficult to state that a person can only be crossed its program (laughs). Because it is still being adjusted, and eventually finish it so easy to play.

 

 

 

Sora and Riku ? in the same place it appears in a different boss. Why should they appear to destroy the past?

Sora and Riku suddenly switched the operation ?

 

- Previously, the test will be drawn and heard Master of approval on this story Sora and Riku?

 

Nomura?will not be drawn over the full length tests, but also part of the study.

 

- Sora and Riku switching Why do it?

 

Nomura?force switches while you play. In the middle of a battle even when you are walking down the street, regardless of the situation, making the system suddenly switched. Roxas and Sora and the past, but to operate according to the changed character of the story breaks, and the progress of this story is irrelevant.

 

- It is now joined gauge "drop" What is involved in coming?

 

Nomura?will do (laughs). There are also many secrets in this gauge. Switching the character, if you would like to think the event is happening always count may be easy to understand.

 

- Why did you decide to be concerned about such a system.

 

Nomura?is the most reason for the "surprise" is not it? In harmony, "If you come this far switched" by taking away a sense of security, the thrill I was born. More continue for another?Ri?Etai desire, suddenly changing the operation character. If it comes to, that my intentions as how you proceed, and I thought I was born in the strategy for each individual to think forward.

 

- All right. This is likely to be challenging for the attack. By the way, Sora and Riku, what were both looking to the same place?

 

Nomura?, however, development of the story is different for both of them, they are not even fight the boss. Actually two, as well as action, operation method, it was not. The new system is related to show you have not yet ... [ KH: Chain of Memories Sora], whereas in free?Meta card deck, the difference between an Riku fought with a fixed deck found, but there are differences this time around that.

 

- For example, Sora who is good at action, what we can only go ra?

 

Nomura?is possible in theory the system is almost impossible.

 

- A Sora and Riku, or visit the world is different ...?

 

Nomura?is the same world to visit. However, the two places so different, come in a different order. Pretty Sure?Tsu While always being in the same location as two video like this is rare.

 

- Also a new world, but it is I can go.

 

Nomura?said the number is still, of course, we offer a new Disney world. I think it's something new.

 

- In the trailer, the scene had to fly a balloon from falling to the square where the bells in a row, that is [ Hunchback of Notre Dame ] What is the World?

 

Nomura?I'd wait for more follow-up, and many of the world want to put before desire. This "bold action" I think it can also fit the concept gimmicks.

 

- Where the balloon is flying, 3D I could use effectively in the production. This time, 3D-conscious production or do they actively adopt?

 

Nomura?That is not conscious, not 3D, but I had to fly a balloon to the original scene in the plaza, I just had to put it. 3D is scheduled to enter production in the calculations for you, but to some extent, it does not contain artificial production. Nintendo 3DS is a 3D, rather than rush out so that there is a deep impression, as it utilizes, this "drop" ... "fall" is the keyword.

 

- Released since then, it was published the scene of Sora falling a lot.

 

Nomura?Sora falling "drop" indicates, that "dream" is to fit out a lot of keywords. So it is not a dream, the image is an image that symbolizes the work.

 

 

The title ? "drop (drop)" and "Dream" to reveal an image scene. Before falling from the sky a lot of Sora, Riku's figure looked up at the sky.

- This time in addition to video images that stand for Sora and Riku keyblade in hand CG are released. What does this visual image of what? And publication of Nomura's illustrations are drawn?

 

Nomura?I was aware of the Disney animation package. Illustration, this time as it is the first report, has yet to draw something special. The stage is still under discussion there, the idea of change is also out of a clothing design ... Sora and Riku.

 

- Why is it? [ KH ] Sora and Riku to appear in the form of the time, it was not that tell the story naturally.

 

Nomura?[ KH Re: Coded ] did also, it seems some people believe that it is a remake of the previous work as clothing. But, as you said, you also need to appear in Sora and Riku in this posture. So, coming out at the beginning of this figure, we believe that the change in the middle of the flow.

 

- If you realize a new costume, it will be one of the pleasures as well. In a message to fans who end.

 

Nomura?[ KH3D ] is under active development, so no release date yet to communicate the stage, First, though BbS Final Mix ] and The Dyuodeshimu FF Dissidia ] I think you'll draw your attention to other titles. In addition, because we have not announced the title yet, please look forward.
