Dream Drop Distance will be the FIRST KH game in six years to let you play as Sora.

It's also the first game to have a truly playable Riku, as opposed to his premade stuff in Kingdom Hearts Reverse/Rebirth, and that little bit at the end of KH2.

In short, Dream Drop Distance is the biggest deal since KH2.

Nothing wrong with premade stuff, doesn't change the fact that you were playing as Riku for half of the game. I agree with the rest, though.

The premade stuff just just made Riku's part a lot more shallow. That and the lack of plot in Disney Worlds. I honestly would have really liked to have learned about Riku's relations with the other Disney villains/heroes...

Anyways, this is looking to be Riku's first TRULY playable outing, as an equal to Sora, Terra, Aqua, Roxas or Ventus.

We played as Sora in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+, coded and Re:coded.

Would you really count KH2 Final Mix+ if you've already played Sora in KH2? Plus, that was "data" Sora(I know you know this), not Sora.

Most of us didn't play Final Mix.

Data Sora is not in fact Sora.

He's Data Sora

It's still Sora. And last time I checked, Data-Sora is a redirect for Sora here.

He's not continuing Sora's story. Calling him Sora is like calling Roxas, Xion, Ventus or Vanitas Sora.

Never thought of it like that. I suppose it is the first time we'll be playing as the 'true' Sora in quite a while. That's quite interesting. 3D's gonna be a great game.

Eh. It's really no big deal who I play as. I'm in it for the story, not Sora.

I believe Birth by Sleep was bigger then Dream Drop Distance. And to be fair a lot of people never played Chain of Memories or Re:Chain of Memories. So it really will be their first time playing as Riku.

You play as Riku in Re:Chain of Memories! Don't forget that!

This. And I'm just not excited about it yet since Re:coded was such a turnoff. Still haven't finished it, instead playing KH2FM.

That is true, but in a battle system I dislike with bland world encounters. The story was cool, but nothing happened in the worlds you went to.

I know, right?

I'll try and help you get excited. Re:Coded was made by H.A.N.D. while 3D is being made by Square Enix, and a proper KH team. So DDD will be more in line with numbered titles and BBS.

I didn't

BTW you don't play as Riku in CoM. You play as him in Reverse Rebirth, the game that came with CoM.

Well, only time will tell which one is bigger, for now we can only acknowledge that they are both big. Also, people who played KH2 played as Riku

Eh. It's really no big deal who I play as. I'm in it for the story, not Sora.

 

It's not Sora himself, it's what his return symbolizes. The story is moving forward, and considering the plot centres around Sora, the plot ought to be good.

Honestly I'm excited to play as both of them. I am also interested in kingdom hearts in more for the story than anything. But playing as sora is by far my favorite. I love all the new characters, but honestly there's nothing better than the original.

What about 358/2 Days?

 

You play as both of them.

They're made of data.

Oh Sora, Riku~~ It'll be so good to finally play as you two for realz! I can't wait, I've missed those bastards. =w= <333

What I am most curious about is how much of the game is played as Retro Sora and Riku. All ther trailers have shown the kids versions, but the game is set to take place after KH2. So, Will the whole gme be a data adventure using the kid forms? Or will that only be a small portion? Will we have full command of the older versions of the characters?

Yeah you've got a point there, but in BBS you get to play the story of three people which in my opinon, makes it a bigger deal than this game despite the 3D and better graphics.

Well I'm assuming what we've seen is the MoM exam, and I read somewhere that Yen Sid puts them to sleep (I'm not actually sure about this.) However, assuming it's right I would say what we've seen is actually just a dream. I do know that Nomura said the MoM exam is only half the game, leaving plenty of time for a costume change.

Data Sora

i think playing riku is cool but i dont think they are their REAL versions.

i think kh3 will be next game with real sora... and it sounds kinda sad.

Your right but I hope they have a good plot for this one.
