Along with new character confirmations, the latest issue of Famitsu contains a ton of new Project X Zone details.

A summary of the information can be found below.

– Support Attacks: special attacks from party members
– Use a Support Attack if another unit is in the vicinity (roughly 8 spaces) of your current unit
– Support unit can perform a followup attack which can only be used once in battle
– Cross Hit is comparable to Support Attacks
– During a Support Attack, if the main unit and support unit strike the enemy simultaneously, you’ll trigger a Cross Hit move
– Enemy freezes where the Cross Hit was executed
– More easily perform combos after this happens
– Monolith Soft confirmed as the developer
– Kouji Ishitani and Souichiro Morizumi are “Development Producer”
– Namco Bandai’s Kensuke Tsukanaka is producing
– Cross Active Battle System in the game
– Battles are grid-based
– Enter a battle scene when you attack an enemy on the grid map
– Use the d-pad and A button to execute combos
– Critical Hits: happens when you send an enemy into the air and connect your next attack before the enemy hits the ground
– Each character can access 2-3 skills
– Level up and you’ll gain additional skills (5-6)
– Individual skills may have the ability to be powered-up
– Encouraged to use as many of your skills as possible
– Receive a bonus if all skills are used
– Use multiple skills rather than using the same skill over and over
– “XP” / “Cross Point” gauge shown in Famitsu
– This gauge builds as you strike enemies
– Use the gauge for special attacks and defensive moves on the maps
– All units use the same gauge
– Using one special move will deplete the gauge fully
– Gauge can rise over 100%
– Perform a Cross Hit and it’ll go up to 150%
– Dev. team working on the game’s tempo; enemy attacks will be handled quickly so that control will return to you immediately.
– Special cut-ins for when you use your special attacks on bosses
– Battles will be fully voiced
– Pre and post battle comments

Square Enix is doing something we often don’t see for 3DS games. The publisher is readying a Kingdom Hearts 3D “Mark of Mastery Edition” for the title’s launch.

The Mark of Mastery Edition includes a copy of Kingdom Hearts 3D, a branded clear hard case skin cover, 12 art cards, and five AR cards that can unlock rare Dream Eaters such as Meowjesty, Frootz Cat and Kab Kannon. Everything is enclosed in a magnetic box.

Square Enix says that this is the first time a Kingdom Hearts collector’s edition has been released in North America.

Consumers will be able to purchase the box set for $54.99. Kingdom Hearts 3D launches on July 31.
