1. Sora's max stats : HP - 320 Str - 67 Mag - 71 Def - 61, Riku's max stats : HP - 360, Str - 69 Mag- 70 Def - 58
2. Drop Gauge lasts about 15 minutes I think , but it really depends on your Drop speed.
3. Ultima Weapon, more balanced for me.
4. I was on Proud Mode first so it took me 39 hours to beat the game. Replaying it at the moment for other trophies.
Maybe 35-40 hours for average gamers?
5. Like Birth by Sleep, yes. Usually, I'm levelling up once per drop, until I got to level 60.
6. Yes, this game is a lot harder. Dream Eaters are a lot different compared to heartlesses, nobodies and unversed, in movement and in battle style. Plus, they crowd up in most encounters. Proud was definitely a challenge haha. (Get the good abilities first)

8. I prefer Sora. His Link action abilities are fun and because 'Glide'. Riku is fun too but he is too vulnerable in his Link Action form. He has cool darkness moves though~
9. King Wondernyan
10. Mix a whole bunch of ingredients together.
