Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Ultimania coverage


DChiuch

Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Ultimania, the official guidebook for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], released today in Japan. Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Ultimania is said to contain a lot of information and secrets about both Kingdom Hearts 3D and the future of the Kingdom Hearts series. We will keep updating this post with more information about the book as it appears.

Update 1: A post on 2ch.net has revealed some details about the interview. Thanks to FF-Reunion for the tip, Sky from KH13 has translated the details below for you.

-- Does the "Secret Message Unlocked" in KH3D hint at KHIII?

Nomura: About that, I'll leave it to your imagination. Well, you'll get the answer for that later.

-- Does the last light from the credits form "III"?

Nomura: I can't tell the details. I made that out as a way of giving my secret message.

-- KH3D FM?

Nomura: Maybe in a few years, but no plans for it right now. The Osaka team is really busy. \(^o^)/

-- Is BbS Volume 2 = BbS2?

Nomura: I used "A Fragmentary Passage" without regard to its context. What I mean is, there's a story for Volume Two, without using that scene. I can't say there isn't a possibility of making it, but there are no plans for it right now.

-- The Mysterious KH = 3D?

Nomura: We interrupted titles in 3D, and we haven't reopened that discussion yet.

Update 2: Another post on 2ch.net has revealed even more details. Sky from KH13 has translated this below.

- There are lots of familiar characters among those hidden by the black coat on the seats at "Where Nothing Gathers".

- There are hopes of using Pixar titles.

- Can't talk about time, but the new KH Series Title is already being worked on. There may be a possibility of announcements of some sort shortly.

- *KH3D spoilers, click here to view*

Update 3: bKvEBVAvUq has provided more details about what is revealed. Sky from KH13 has translated this below.

The mysterious KH: No plans about producing it. Bbs vol.2: No plans about producing it at present. Team Osaka: Currently busy with some titles. New Title for KH: Can be announced shortly.

Update 4: goldpanner has translated the summary of the Tetsuya Nomura interview from FF-Reunion. You can read this translation below.

There's an interview with Tetsuya Nomura in the KH3D Ultimania that went on sale today! From the interview:

They don't have any plans for BBSV2 right now, trust your imagination with the Secret Message, there's no plans for an FM for this title, the mystery KH project is stopped because they did KH3D, please look forward to whether the 7 lights are those 7 people, lots of things have already started happening for a new title in the KH series, and he thinks they will be able to make some kind of announcement in a relatively short time.

There you go! In the interview there's also 'impressions upon seeing the 3DS, the way we brought in free flow action, the title 3D, choosing which worlds to use, about the new black-coated people in Organisation XIII' etc. I also really really recommend 'Ask Mr Tetsu everything! Scenario Mysteries' for Nomura's detailed commentary! KH3D's Ultimania is pretty big, very much worth reading, go and buy it for sure!

Update 5: bKvEBVAvUq has provided even more details about what is revealed. Sky from KH13 has translated this below.

- Regarding the Dream Eaters' growing system: "I thought about a system where you defeat enemies and make them your allies. But instead of thinking they were enemies before, I'd rather you to love them as if you raised them from their very birth."

Possibly the one after the Xehanort Saga? http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.png or just a mistranslation?

 

The japanese call "KH" "KH series" So what he means is just they are already working on the new KH title

 

We all know Kairi is the one but what about sora and lea which is it?????

 

 

Of course it is Sora! But if they are using Keyblade wielders to be the 7 lights, what use do the princesses have?

I don't exactly understand what the spoiler is trying to say. It's kinda worded funny.

 

 

 

So YMX didn't get the time traveling powers from the brown coat? or he did and some of the others didn't?

 

And

 

Ansem and Xemnas only exist in the Space-Time of 3D? or they were able to exist because of the Space-Time of 3D?

 

 

 

 

 

YMX did get the power from the brown coated, but not all of them came to that place traveling through time

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. You defeat the Pokémon and have a chance to recruit them. Just not in the main series. ;)

Or it could be how it is in Final Fantsy 13-2 where you defeat the monsters and they can become your allies

The princesses are the lights that helped reform their realm. If you destroy them, the darkness takes over again

I don't think there will be a Final Mix for 3D because the 3DS is capable of DLC. Can't wait for 3D to come stateside!

 

The PSP had the ability to use dlc as well and BbSFM didn't take that route.

Familiar faces at Where Nothing Gathers.

 

Earlier today I thought "Don't tell me Xehanort tricked Hayner and Seifer's groups", but now I think that it could be some Final Fantasy characters finally getting more focus, or another Reno/Axel situation. There's also the possibility of other Square charcters making it into Kingdom Hearts, since we now have TWEWY.

 

That must be KHIII

 

Not if Versus XIII is not finished and another team is making the game.

 

I'd like a BbS Vol. 2 'cause I want an explanation about how the heck Mickey went to the RoD, got Kingdom Key D, went out and left poor Aqua there! Shame on you "Your Majesty"!

 

I suppose something happened and only one of them would be able to get out and Aqua said Mickey was more important.

Or maybe they never met.

 

It's also possible that Aqua has a reason to stay there, like searching for something. Maybe she met another Keyblade wielder there? A girl named Yami?

 

Either way, the mystery game may be one of the two stories that Nomura mentioned in Director's Secret Report XIII, which are "the period of the King's absence" and "the period of Riku's absence". Whatever happened in these stories may have some connection to KHIII. Besides, unless there's something in 3D that I still didn't find a link to, we have yet to see the results of DiZ's research.

Well the BBSv2 trailer did show that Aqua encountered atleast one world engulfed in darkness. Maybe there was something else in those worlds too. No idea what Mickey was doing when he went to the Dark Realm and left again. "The period of Riku's absence", wasn't that revealed in Days that he was doing stuff on DiZ's orders and trying to convince Xion to help Sora?

Kind of disappointing that BBS volume 2 isn't under development but KH3 is probably being worked on.

 

SO when do you think the final mix will come out? KH 3D Dream Drop Distance is a main game like KH, KH2 and BBS so that means final mix. I predict maybe December 2013-February 2013.

Well, that's what happened between Chain of Memories and KHII, but there's still the period he was absent during KHII, and he left DiZ after he ordered him to destroy Naminé (this scene is only present in the Final Mix). Also, we still have no explanation as to how the Soul Eater became the Way to the Dawn, maybe there's a story in this.

 

 

Kind of disappointing that BBS volume 2 isn't under development but KH3 is probably being worked on.

 

We still don't know if it's in fact KHIII. Nomura said KHIII will be made by the "Kingdom Hearts team", and they are busy with Versus-XIII. I think there's something else being made, and the only options we know are Riku's absence, the King's absence (which seems to be BBSv2), and the Keyblade War. The first one could be the story told on Days or something parallel to KHII, the last one needs all possible knowledge in hi-spec hardware and needs to be told in episodes (and I think it could take some years until we see this game), and while Nomura said BBSv2 was not in production, he could just be hiding information.

 

SO when do you think the final mix will come out? KH 3D Dream Drop Distance is a main game like KH, KH2 and BBS so that means final mix. I predict maybe December 2013-February 2013.

 

There's also the posibility of there NOT being a Final Mix. The chances are low given the precedents, but they could also release a Final Mix patch. With this, they could finally achieve an international release for a Final Mix.

Why do people want BBSv2?

 

Just have Mickey explain why he did what he did in the third game. I'd rather not wait another year just to play another prequel.

 

It's time to roll out KH3. We've waited enough. I wan't another console Kingdom hearts.
