Here's a collaboration of things we all, including some people from Gamefaqs have figured out about the Gameplay:

 

In the subject of Menus:

 

Starting from the top

 

Daybreak town - Takes you back to the day break town, this is where you see the Encounter Button when a Raid is going on, as well as some players form your current Group.

World - Returns you to the world you were in. If you weren't in any, it brings you to the select menu.

 

Status - Self explanatory, your name, level, LUX etc. is here

 

AP - What you need to do actions with, can be replenished by pressing the button beside it (Potion), the menu for potions comes up even if you have none

 

BP - What you need to carry out Boss Raids, can be replenished by pressing the button beside it (Ether), the menu for ethers comes up even if you have none

The grayed out buttons are also self explanatory since they're in English/numbers, Sound on/off, quality of graphics and Menu

Raid Boss (Purple) - Click this to go encounter a Darkside, only appears during events 

Gift Box - You get rewards from completing missions, you collect them using this

Mission List - Tells you the missions you have to do, and lists the most recent ones you cleared

Story - Recounts the story so far for you

Bottom:

World Select - Choose which world you want to enter with this

 

Raid Boss - Similar to the other Raid Boss button but this one is always here. If there isn't a Raid happening, it will show the LUX conflict of the two Groups competing(See: Raids)

 

Party Menu - Brings you to the party menu

Edit Deck - You can edit the cards in your deck 

Card Synthesis - You can upgrade and synthesis cards you have using other cards you have.

Keyblade Upgrade - Takes you to the menu to upgrade your Keyblade

Card Draw - Brings you to the menu to buy new cards using either Moogle Passes, or Moogle Points.

 

On the subject of cards:

 

The attack cards have two numbers one I believe represents attack power and the other defense. So when the battle starts the game will calculate your damaged dealt based on the attack number and how damage you take based on the defense number. I believe this is why for example at times enemies will deal obscene amounts of damage on a first hit and yet on their next hit they deal pathetic damage, or vise versa. You can switch the cards in your deck, and you can't fuse two cards that are in your deck. Combining two of the same card with the same rarity causes a "Limit Cut". This seems to and increasie its max level by 5 and reduce the number of times you can do another Limit Cut by 1. Though there could be other ways of increasing the max level.

Assist cards are HP bonuses and LUX increased rate. Each one will give a boost, so you should update as soon as possible.
On the subject of worlds:

 

WORLDS ARE NO LONGER BEING UPDATED IN THIS POST DUE TO NEEDING TOO MANY IMAGES AND BEING TOO HARD TO UPDATE. A THREAD WITH WORLD STORY GUIDES SHOULD BE MADE SOON. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOME WORLDS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE THREAD BUT WON'T BE POSTED IN THIS OP.

The story objective battles have the same music the encounter battles do, so if you're trying to figure out what to do challenging a few heartless and seeing if you get the boss music is a good way of doing this.

In Dwarf Woodlands it seems you have to kill the Large Body in front of the Dwarf 's house. After you beat the large body outside and talk to the one that gave you the mission to kill it. After you talk to him you then go talk to doc where the large body was. After this you have to wait until you are level 26 to continue the story.

In Wonderland first you need to speak to the doorknob who is probably telling you you're to big so you need to drink from the bottle, a bottle that a soldier heartless steals. Kill that heartless and talk to the doorknob again to shrink down and enter the forest. From there you need to locate and speak to Alice and eventually during the conversation the white rabbit comes out which she chases after. Chesire cat appears and speaks. You need to be lv14 to enter the Teahouse and talk to the rabbit. After that you can talk to the white rabbit and thanks to help from a friend translating we were able to figure out what he wants you to do. The general gist seems to be the rabbit was running through the earlier part of the forest, fell in the water puddles in there, got drenched, and broke his watch so its missing the 2, 4, 5, and 11. What you need to
do is go back to the water puddle section of the forest and you'll see some blue sparkly spots instead of the usual gold ones. Those sparkly spots contain what I assume to be the rabbit's missing numbers, either way you need them so grab them. Once you've got them talk to the rabbit to complete that story section. After that it's another level requirement for the next section this time level 24!

 

Agrabah's story begins with you finding Alladin collapsed in the sand.

 

There are 2 upcoming worlds, being Beast's Castle and Enchanted Dominion, as found in the game's database.

On the subject of collectible resources:

The sparkles on the maps are collectible items. Even if you can't read Japanese the things you collect are pretty much right where you expect. So if you see a picture of a flower then go to the dwarf woodland's flower patch to find them. These items restock eventually. Many of these items can be used to upgrade your Keyblade and completing quests.
A guide on where to find resources is currently being made on this thread.
 

On the subject of Lux:

Everyone of your union is collecting Lux. At the end of the week all unions will have all the lux they collected tallied up and the three highest ranked Unions all get prizes. (Prizes to be mentioned)

Collecting LUX each week(?) before the LUX reset gives you prizes:

3,500 gives you 2 potions. (a total of 20 AP when used)

5,000 gives 5 bronze moogle tickets.

7,500 gives 3 more moogle cards.

10,000 gives 3 silver moogle tickets.

15,000 gives 1 gold moogle ticket.

20,000 gives 5 ethers.

30,000 gives 5 potions.

50,000 gives 2 gold moogle tickets.

100,000 gives 5 moogle cards.

200,000 gives 3 gold moogle tickets.

300,000 gives 5 gold moogle tickets.

And there are weekly rewards for the people who collect most LUX. They are listed in the link below, in ranking:

cache.sqex-bridge.jp/img/yPJNw3GX

 

On the subject of Moogles:

 

Chest Moogles: Sometimes when you open a chest, a Moogle will pop out of it. If you have purchased the special purple orbs(?), you can trade them in for rare cards that can only be obtainable by trading them with the Moogle. You can also gain a free card by selecting the purple/blue orb in the bottom. It'll most likely be an N/N+ Assist card, but it is possible to find R and R+ cards too.

Card Draw Moogles: You can access these Moogles at any time by clicking the Card Draw icon on the menu. In the "shop", you can purchase cards by using:

 

SR Premium Passes: Extremely rare Moogle Passes that can be turned in for SR cards.

 

Golden, Silver and Bronze Passes: Rare Moogle Passes that can give N+ - R+ Cards. Golden Passes have a better chance to give R/R+ cards than Silver Passes, and Silver Passes have a better chance than Bronze.

 

Moogle Orbs/Pins: Special points that can be acquired easily through quests and as prizes in Raids. For every 200 points you can get a card, with a higher chance to get N+ than R/R+ cards.

 

On the subject of Raid Bosses:

 

Groups-

 

During Raids, each Union will be divided into groups, whose members will be switched every day. Groups can be seen here:

 

 

You can see which group you are in and which group you are going against that day.

 

 What they are-

Raids are competitions between two teams to see which can deal the most damage to the Raid Boss, and who can collect the most daily LUX through them.

 

Over at number 1 you have which team is currently winning the daily LUX competition, below the bar is how much longer the current Raid Boss will stay. Raid bosses always stay for 1 hour, and spawn 20 minutes after the previous one is defeated or escapes. When defeated, the next Boss will be 1 level higher than the defeated one, and when it escapes, it will decrease by 1 level.

Over at number 2 you have the health bar of the Darkside, red is the damage your team did, blue is the damage the other team did, and green is its current HP. Below that is your attack (damage multiplier) options, 1x damage, 2.5x damage, or 4x damage. Each one states its BP cost.

Using the 1BP option can be useful at keeping a Chain. 1 BP is recovered every 15 minutes. Not considering Chains, 4x damage is most efficient option.

Over at number 3 there is the image of a Keyblade. Using that Keyblade against that Raid Boss will give you a "Keyblade Bonus" and you will deal additional damage.

 

If the Raid Boss is low level, it is recommended to use as much BP as possible to kill it faster. However, it's also recommended to spare your BP to use it during LUX UP times.

 

Over at number 4 you have the Chain information. When a team member attacks within 4 minutes of another they get a chain bonus and extra damage is dealt to the Raid Boss. Even if you were the last person to attack you can keep the chain going in hopes others will raise it by attacking. (There is a timer telling you how long you have to do it.) And below number four, if you are on the 3rd tab, there is a history of who attacked last, how much damage they did, when they attacked, and what team they were on.

Your first attack on a Raid Boss doesn't cost BP and is a 4 times damage attack.

 

Every time you attack the Raid Boss, you gain great amounts of LUX, depending on how much damage you dealt to it.

 

Each time a Raid Boss is killed, the next one that day is more powerful. It has a bigger damage boost than HP boost if it has an HP boost. Though people will be doing less damage to it in the later "levels" of it because they won't survive as many hits. Each hour,the raid will be reseted.

 

You can give BP to another player in your Union, by clicking the lack button above the Union Sigil. As you give BP to other players, you will also regain as much BP as you give out. You can give 5BP to other players per day, so I recommend you use this only if you believe that you can defeat the current Raid Boss.

 

Regardless of which team wins, having more LUX or dealing more damage, if a Raid Boss is killed, everyone involved will gain prizes.

It is impossible for a player to survive more than 5 attacks from the Raid Boss.

 

On the subject of Keyblades:

You unlock a different Keyblade every time you finish a world's story, much like usual KH games. You can upgrade your Keblade with raw materials. Keyblades give you boosts based on the command slots. Starlight, for example, will give 10%+ boosts for magic cards when those are used in the second slot and a 10%+ boost for wing/speed/aero attack cards in the third slot. Upgrading you keyblade seems add additional boosts and improve the boosts you already have.

 

An in-progress guide on Keyblade can be found on this thread.

 

On the subject of items:

 

Right now, there are only a few kinds of items:

- Ether (allows recovery of power necessary when fighting bosses, BP)

- Potion (allows recovery of action power, AP)

 

These can be acquired by completing quests.

 

The GIFT BOX contains a lot of useful items for newbies, including a lot of Moogle Passes that unlock rare, powerful cards.

 

About Parties/Friends:

 

How to join a party.

Click the button with the two smiley heads.
 

Then click the bottom right red button.

A menu will pop up saying  "Search".

There are two tabs at the top select the second one.

List of other players with two red buttons out beside them.

Click the first red button. the one right beside the players level.

What you want to look for is a player that has more than one person in their party of 30.

Select the bottom right button when you want to join that persons party.

Select the left red button.

Then you'll be in their party with an AP upgrade.

The purple haired outfit I believe is available to everyone, though there is a possibility that CBT players got outfits as rewards or the game used stock people.

I'm a CBT player and I didn't get any outfits for rewards! All I got was couple of potions and ethers and maybe some tickets which I used up already.

I have something to ask, since I can't read Japanese I don't know how exactly they order the cards in the menu but its been bugging me a lot. The R_Sora all the way on the right is at max power but those 2 cards appear on the left of it behind my most powerful card. Are the cards ordered by most powerful or something? Should I replace that Sora with the Mushu because I am running out of cards to buff at this point. About half my cards are maxed and the others are halfway to max.

Right now you have it ordered as "rarity->common" that's why it's shown like that/

you see the drop down menu above that? Click the 5th one if you want these to be in order of powerful->weak attacks

Sadly that only orders it by its current power. I'd love to know if one of my unleveled cards has a higher overall power, like if I could see the base power off all the cards I have. I don't want to throw away a card that can potentially be stronger then what I have.

You can use google translate on the pages, or just look for the color and picture. The first set of digits, in the thousands, is the base stats of the card. The second set of digits are the max stats of that card with out limit cuts. The third set of digits are the max stats of that card with being limit cut once. And then the rest are just continuing that pattern. (if you only want to bookmark one page and have them all, on the left side there is N/N+ R/R+ SR/SR+, just click on the one you want.)

Might sound noobish, but is it possible to join a party which contains people you recognize ( more likely people from the site)?I'd also like to ask if levelling up increases the damage my character can do

Leveling up increases your CP which can increase your damage if somehow you had reached the limit. Aside from that leveling up will increase the heartless's stats, and since your deck stays the same strength unless you upgrade it... Power leveling is unwise.Currently Rodo is the only one who attempted to make a party for his union, the Purple Cobras. Since parties double as queues for who you will be with in the next week's raid, they can only have members from a single union. Their only other purpose is a way to chat in game, and to provide AP.

If someone understands the cards leveling/synthesis system please come forward. All the things I know at this point:

• Fusing a card with exactly the same card is called "Limit Cut" and raises the maximum level of the card by 5 up to three times.
• Fusing cards of the same category (power, speed, magic, assist) gives an EXP bonus (you can find a EXP table here).
• The higher the rank of the card the more EXP it will provide.
• Always fuse as many cards as you can, fusing gradually results in less experience.  For example: I want to level up a LV1 N+ card.

• If I fuse it with another LV1 N+ card and a LV1 N card it will get a +275% EXP boost (going upt to LV3 +75%).
• But if I already fused these two cards (LV1 N+ and LV1 N) and use the resulting card to level up my N+ card it will only give a +233% EXP boost (going upt to LV3 +33%).

• If you have to fuse gradually always level up the higher ranked card with the lower ranked card. For example: I want to level up a LV1 R card:

• If I use a N+ card that was leveled up with a LV1 N card before resulting in a LV2 +18% card, I get a +233% EXP boost (going upt to LV3 +33%).
• But if I use a N card that was leveled up with a LV1 N+ card before resulting in a LV2 + 72% card (because N+ cards give more experience than N cards), I'll get a +216% EXP boost (going up to LV3 +16%).

• There is no difference in what order you level up a single card though. If you use first three cards and then two or all five cards at the same time will always have the same outcome.

tldr; If you want to level up your cards always try to figure out how long you will use them. Leveling up with already leveled up cards will always result in less EXP than fusing the cards directly. Also never use a higher ranked card to level up a lower ranked card and try to use cards from the same category.

If your a purple cobra i should be able to add you to my party

How does this even work and how do i get myself those new outfits

So I have a couple of questions for you guys. 

 

First, I'm pretty sure I already know my answer since I haven't seen anything else, but the story stops after the level 50 Agrabah mission, right? Or has anyone encountered anything at all, even different heartless, post-1.8? The only different is the Fat Bandits spawning as far as I can tell. 

 

Second, has anyone figured out what is up with the Final Form card? Google is translating the page terribly and it's saying something about 11...something or others. 

 

And lastly, just out of curiosity, has anyone tried paying for the premium items? I'm considering trying to put 10 dollars up but I would like some feedback about the process and any complications from it before I do.

If I remember what google translate told me, it said that you can buy 11 of them for 3000 yen instead of 3300 yen, and if you do this and do the open 11 at a time option, you will be guaranteed to get at least one SR card. Also in that specific news thing, it is saying that temporarily the NEW R+/SR/SR+ cards have attack power multipliers for now. (or at least I am pretty sure that is everything that was said in that news thing)And if your story quests are basically saying ?? LV, it means you reached the end of the story until the developers add more story to that world. And yes I think the only major change is the mobs in the world, with the Fat Bandits being the only new ones.

Okay, cool. I'll definitely try and jump on that before the event is over, thanks. The translation was something along the lines of pieces or somethin and I thought maybe they were findable in-game, but I appreciate the clarification. 

And yes, I've reached that point. I'm about to hit level 56 now, and I figured it's the end of the line for now, but I thought maaaaaybe some ultra-level heartless spawned after a certain point, in particular that jeweled samurai Heartless from the end of the Agrabah mission. But okay, nice to know. 

According to tempex these three cards with the bonuses will loose them after the event and will become unavailable on top.

Anybody else have LUX glitch out on them? I've been obtaining rewards I didn't actually win. For example, when I first logged on earlier, I got the SR Sora despite being under rank 1000. I also got 3 Gold Tickets seemingly out of nowhere. I'm not exactly complaining now that I have my first SR card but its a bit weird...

The rankings weirded out, and I believe they gave us 3 gold tickets after they fixed it with maintenance.

That's awsome, but........it's no use. I tried to pay for this once too but they'll only accept Japanese credit cards or WEBMONEY (wait was it popmoney?) and........I don't think anyone sells WEBMONEY in America. (The description said you can buy WEBMONEY cards anywhere in Japan's convenient store)

So I noticed a bunch of people have R+ Wisdom Form Sora. Is there some way people are getting them or what? Am I just unlucky?

There is a weekly quest that gives it, but it is only available to those in the top two unions.Edit: So yes, you are unlucky for not being in one of the top two unions for how ever long you have been playing.
