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.

My card got at it's max (without limit cutting though) nothing happens, it just reached it's max ... that's it.

I thought so, but I wasn't sure. Either way cards with levels on them give more progress to other cards if you sacrifice them. (so it shouldn't be too much of a loss for him if he doesn't like the result)

Edited July 10, 201312 yr by Tigerruss

That was to be expected haha

I don't doubt nothing happens though I will make sure to limit cut just to be safe. At the same time this Donald Card has the power of an R+ card at this point so honestly it's pretty much as if I've got another R+ card I was just curious if backing might changed if you got it to the absolute max was all. 

 

Oh here is something fun I just learned in the moogle shop you can spend 200 for 1 card or 2000 for 10 cards, but if you have less than 2000 but more than 200 then for every 200 you get a card. So basically if you have 1800 you get 9 cards instead of 10 cards. Which means in the end that the second moogle button is basically just a spend all button when you're 2000 or less. People probably know this but I thought I put it in here to be safe.

Well I was invited to a party but took me forever to figure out how to join. Turns out you need to go to your stats page, click the middle red button, and like always the yes options are always on the left. So now I'm in a party with 3 other people, the leader is a girl the other two members have my same face and hair but different hair color so it looks like we're a reverse charlie's angels. 

Speaking of which one other thing I'm curious about does anyone understand how the individual Lux Ranking prizes work? I understand Team Lux Ranking easy but not individual ranking. 

There is a series of rewards you get for collecting lux.100 gives 400 moogle points.500 gives 5k munny.1,000 gives an ether.(a 1 BP point restoration item)2,000gives you 3 moogle cards, they give more exp when combined than normalcards, can't be used for any other reasons, and count as assist cards.(the cards of the same type get bonus exp when combining)

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.

Andthere are daily rewards for which team had collected the most lux thatday. Currently I have 7,672 lux, but around half was from yesterday.

I posted this in a different thread, though I  am not sure what the personal rank on your team does.

I'm stuck in agrabah now >w< I did the white rabbit dealy and have part 1-4 to do for agrabah now >w<

Is Aladdin in the dessert, like 2-4 rooms to the right? If so, have you tried talking to him? If he isn't there, you probably have to find Aladdin at another spot in town. If all else fails try talking to guards in town. And if that some how fails just give into the darkness, become the darkness, and start the heartless epidemic on this earth. (or hope to find your own solution of course)

 

I found I think the official message boards for them, but I am not sure. Sadly you can't have google translate just translate the page...

http://sqex-bridge.jp/communities/4491/topics

 

 

Edit: I was messing around with http://maggie.ocrgrid.org/nhocr/

And it appears that the jewelry bag heartless actually translates to jewelry bag.

Edit again: it is very buggy to the point that sometimes it would be better to just try to use a chart.

 

Edited July 10, 201312 yr by Tigerruss

Updated the OP with info about Parties, Raids, and LUX rewards.

I got this REALLY weird card

 

Not only is it a different color, it's maximum level is 1 and it looks absolutely useless. But I'm not sure if it's special for something? You can't limit cut it either.

It seems to be 1 card rank lower than most, N+, but it still looks rarer...

Me too, I won three of this card... I really want know what is its use

It's just a lv up card, used to lv your cards , it raises a certain amount of % if i'm right

Hey guys I thought let me contribute a little on the storyline.
So when you reach level 24 you have the ability to continue your story in Wonderland.
First of you have to go to the rabbit.

Once you went to the rabbit you'll get a new quest for the storyline.

You'll have to fight the next boss he is in front of the (crazy man's?) house. (which is at the right side of the rabbit). This guy is really strong. It's a level 50 boss.

I had the ability to get his hp to around 30% (so 70% damaged) with my deck.



I hope it helps!

Nice @Kelvin Veldman

 

Can you maybe tell me what to do in the Wonder land story quest?I'm stuck on 1-2 and have no clue what to do.

I can help, when you are at the log which you can't pass, you need to click the mushroom and go over the log, then talk with the chesire cat, then talk with the rabbit, then go get the rabbits watch parts at the drops of water (go back to the leaves), then return to the rabbit

Okay found Aladdin. Here's where he's at for 1-4

 

After speaking with him you go find blue sparkles

 

Then you talk to Aladdin again and that seems to be it for 1-4

Edited July 10, 201312 yr by kinagirl101

Whoops shoulda refreshed the page first as I see I was beaten to the punch on the Wonderland info.

 

Anyway after acquiring like 15 bronze moogle passes I have learned you can indeed get Silver rarity cards from even bronze passes, seems to be really really rare though. Or just entirely random seeing as I just used 2 bronze moogle passes in a row and got the same R level Auron card twice. So if its' entirely random I don't quite get what the difference between Bronze and Silver passes are. 

Edited July 10, 201312 yr by KMH

I killed the Large Armor in Wonderland. (the thing featured in Nermin's post) After you kill it you go back to talk to the rabbit in the forest, and then you go back to the place with the large armor and click on the door. Now you have to wait until level 40 to progress.The keyblade you get for completing this stage starts out with 1.1x for greens in the first slot, blank in the second slot, and 1.1x for greens in the third slot.

 

Edit: At level 26 in Dwarf Woodlands, you need to go to the path above the room with the house, and talk to Doc. Now you have to fight another Large Body to the left. (ranked level 50) After killing it go back to Doc, collect your reward and comeback at level 36.

Edited July 10, 201312 yr by Tigerruss

Really? Oo Good job What is your level, now?

I am only level 26, though decks matter a whole lot more than levels. Also this means I have 3 more levels before I can progress in Agrabah story.

O_o That's impressive

So yeah you were definitely on about how there is worth in leveling up cards you will replace. I can't tell if it's a set bonus or if all the levels collected just transfer over, but I synthed my Paine card which was level 19 on my lv1 Valor Sora R+ card and I used a couple other cards in the mix, and I didn't full up all the synth slots either. The result was Sora just rocketed up to level 24 in a matter of seconds. 

 

Actually did another test this time using one card, I took a N+ Leon blue card and synthed it with 4 N+ Blue Yuna cards yielding a lv6 Blue N+ Leon. I then Synthed just that one card with my R+ Blue Leon card and that yielded a lv5 R+ Blue Leon card. So it's an amount not a carry over but I'm not sure if this produces a better effect than just synthing the individual cards into it direct or not.

 

------------

 

Okay I had enough multiples so I conducted an experiment.

 

I had two Green KH2 N+ Sora cards, Two Green N+ Aladdin, Two Green N+ Simba, and Two Blue N+ Yunas all fresh lv1 cards and their artworks match.

 

The first Sora was synth with one Aladdin and one Simba to yield a lv11 Green N+ Sora.

Now combining that Sora with the first Yuna card boost the Yuna to lv7.

With the second Yuna card I synthed the other separate Sora, Aladdin, and Simba cards in it to yield a lv4 Yuna.

 

So it does indeed produce a better effect.

Edited July 10, 201312 yr by KMH

Hey hey I got a quick update for you guys on the woodland quest 1-4 I think it isn't on the forum yet so here we go.
As first you have to talk too this bad ass again. He is on the next map after his house.

you recieve this quest.

And now guess who is back, stronger then ever. LEVEL 50. kills you in 3 hits! And has alot of health. He is back for his revenge (on the same map as the dwarf)


The guy is at the same level as the wonderland boss. Hard to kill as a level 26 character with a full set of R cards + R+ cards attack deck. and 2 R+ cards on assist. All on quite a high level. Goodluck with this one.
