Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance TGS Gameplay #2 (Riku)

[91akatsuki]

ok...y is rikus hair short?! O.o

[granvillimus]

@91akatsuki Riku cut his hair short before he went into the world of sleep here, it's now that way in real life (there's a trailer floating around, go find it). Why he did it is a mystery. Though perhaps it was a symbolic thing. The cutting of hair can mean pledging a new beginning, especially in Japanese culture. Perhaps Riku has decided to give himself a new chance and get over his shame of past actions from now on.

What's the point of having a map on the bottom screen when the rooms are either halls,squiggly lines, empty fields or squares?

[vertigoboy75i]

@granvillimus i hope so cuz i loved kingdom hearts 1 & kingdom hearts 2

[peddle1993]

I'm guessing those spheres in the air are the nodes for the Holy Rope

[3582xionlover]

@peddle1993 wuts the holy rope?

[peddle1993]

@3582xionlover It allows you to pull off different skills while on the ground or in the air and there are a series of nodes placed around the battlefields and when you press A or X while near one of them it freezes action and allows you to use the touch screen to draw connections between the points, which sends Sora or Riku dashing through the air along it. I think its how Sora was flying around Traverse Town and Riku was jumping from wall to wall in the first trailer

[vertigoboy75i]

I hope this game is as good as birth by sleep & as long as it too, the graphics looks to be on par with birth by sleep & everything since the same team that did bbs is also doin this game. unlike bbs where you had three characters to play as & explore worlds, since its just Sora & Riku i hope thier are more new worlds to visit since they dont have to do three characters visiting the same worlds over.

[granvillimus]

@vertigoboy75i I'd imagine there will be more overall content. BBS is a candidate for my top favorite KH game, but the three scenarios had some redundant repeats at certain times. I think they're focusing more on a KH1 or KH2 like experience this time in terms of world exploration. We'll see.

Now is time for Sora's gameplay XD

[IKOProductions]

wow what an idiot...whoever is playing it...obviously has never played a KH game in their life. How would you DIE in a demo of all things for that matter!??...That and the person just stood there and basically died on purpose!

[stopsignpeep]

@IKOProductions That's pretty sad though, considering KH games are the easiest games ever....

[granvillimus]

@stopsignpeep Critical mode can be pretty challenging, at least not within the "easiest game ever" tier (and i grew up with games like the original Contra and Super Ghouls n Ghosts). Especially KH2FM's data battles on critical. Depends on the game and which mode you play on. You can also do things like low level runs and such to inflate the challenge.

[oblivion8910]

this is going to be fuckin epic

[granvillimus]

It has its own new elements to supplement drives and limits. Doesn't really need drives either, looks like some of the elements of drives are now part of normal gameplay. The combat itself is faster and more flashy than ever, even basic attacking and such. I dunno if it has limits.

[HesDaryl]

kinda looks like BBS so i guess drives and limits are gone? too bad i really liked those

[nunyobeezwaxfu]

@HesDaryl nothin like bbs every kh is different in their own ways

[ezekielscreations]

ZOMG real good quality gameplay!! WHERES THE TRAILER!!

[peddle1993]

This boss looks like it's good to be hard but it also looks really cool

[granvillimus]

@peddle1993 I don't think it actually looks that hard, the person playing just seems to not be very good at dodging or guarding. Many times he/she just stands there taking an attack or walking right into the line of fire.

[peddle1993]

@granvillimus Okay. But it is still one of the coolest KH bosses I've seen and I like his attacks as well.

[granvillimus]

@peddle1993 Yeah, wasn't saying it wasn't cool. It is. I especially like how you can fight him while flying. Attacks are cool too, looks like he spits some sort of crystals at you lol!

[peddle1993]

@granvillimus I know. But I was saying I like it more than the Nobody and Unversed bosses that were not human as the only non-human Nobody boss was Twilight Thorn. And I do like how you can fight him while you're flying as it's a cool concept but I didn't like the one in Days AKA Ruler of the Sky

[granvillimus]

@peddle1993 Ruler of the Sky was a nightmare. Issue is he's tedious, not genuinely difficult. It takes forever to drain its large lifebar (slowly drains too). I often lose patience and die from recklessness (take risks to end it quickly). You don't fly fast enough, takes forever to even catch up, and the hit detection is bad (annoying flaw with Days in general, your attacks often don't connect properly). This boss doesn't seem to have any of those issues. Hit detection seems good too.
