Kingdom Hearts χ released in July and are you guys enjoying it since? It is free to play so please feel free to try it by all means.
This title from the series feels considerably different and there may be some of you who are puzzled. I think, play it slowly without rushing. The title has only been around for a few months and gradually we will add more elements that will appear in the future and we also plan to deliver a story that leads to the series.
It has more than you might dub as Kingdom Hearts, of course I have some surprises in the future. Please pay attention to the behavior of a mysterious person.
