New Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance details – the “initiative” before Kingdom Hearts III

Famitsu has a full-on Square Enix blowout this week. We covered the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy details earlier tonight and Final Fantasy Versus XIII information is available on our sister site.

Another anticipated title coming from Square Enix is Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. The magazine has some new tidbits in this week’s issue. I’ve been able to translate the following information thus far:

– Sora hasn’t changed (this is unclear at the moment)
– This game will provide some answers
– Described as a mysterious game
– Explores the hidden data inside Sora
– Kingdom Hearts 3D is the “initiative” before Kingdom Hearts III
– Will feature a secret movie like past games in the series
– Traverse Town contains two mysterious characters, who Tetsuya Nomura wouldn’t reveal
– Travel up to rooftops
– 40-50% complete
– Side tidbit 1: Nomura once again said that Kingdom Hearts III completes the Xehanort Saga
– Side tidbit 1: Sora will continue to be the main character of Kingdom Hearts, even after III is complete

I’ll be updating this post with more details as they become available.
