Wow, first time i'm thanking SK3, for the image. sora's upper body outfit is nice and neku looks nice in 3d.

but now he says to Sora "that noise was the worst"?

I'm hating him more and more! no on is allowed to critisize my beloved Sora!

and i can read neku saying "Do whatever you want!" at the bottom of image. DON'T TALK LIKE THAT WITH SORA YOU DUMBASS!

AMAZING INFO sorry for the caps kingdom hearts will turn out an amazing game like KH birth by sleep ,the command system is also fun

No need to thank me lol, DChiuch beat me to the updates, I just happened to post right after he did haha. But all of this info is indeed interesting.

I really hope we get to see the trailer soon, and someone posts a good capture of the trailer. Also, by 'that noise was the worst' I believe Neku was referring to the enemies of TWEWY, the Noise. And it seems they replaced Shibuya with Traverse Town.

First reactions:

 

Sora - Nice outfit...

Riku - HE CUT HIS HAIR!!! I love Riku. :3

 

Later reaction:

 

OH MY GOSH NEKU IS IN THEEEERE!!!

 

Edit:

Does anyone else think Sora and Riku look kinda more like their KH1 selves, only with new outfits? (And hair, for Riku, obviously. I'm used to him with long hair but he looks really cute with it cut short. xD)

This is good and all but I know there's going to be more information that this. They didn't even reveal any of the new worlds so until then I am unsatisfied.

It looks like they took 5 year old rikus head and put on KH2 riku

I think it was already mentioned in an interview that Sora and Riku turn back to their kh1 ages but they change their clothes so that people don't confuse it with a prequel.

Why do they look younger? How does Nomura explain that!! If it's because they're inside a dream, then I don't mind. But they may not look young on KH 3, do you listen to me, Nomura?

 

And for the translation of the controls.

A button: In-battle = Attack

Menu = Decide

b Button: In-battle = Jump

While paused = Resume game

x button: Use Deck Command

y button: While standing = Guard

y + Left analog stick = Dodge Roll

press Y while Airborne (While jumping) = Air Slide

While dodge rolling or air sliding, in specific places like wallls and poles, if you press Y button you can use the Free Flow Action

 

the rest is too long and since I just slept for 4 hours, I'm not willing to translate it right now, maybe later

i think sora looks younger riku looks a bit older just with shorter hair. and rikus cloths remind me of the cloths younger xhanort wore in BbS

All right, for some really succint translation.

Free Flow Action allows you to wallkick, play spiderman on a pole and do the "Free Flow Attack"

 

The lock on basis and the camera right left moving are just the same as BBS

 

you can move the camera the way u want by pressing R1+L2+Analog stick R+L+Analog stick

 

while locking on an enemy, if you press A+X, Reality Shift is activated. I can't read it's description well, but it looks like that one where you use the stylus to draw a way for Sora or Riku to follow, damaging the enemy

 

R1+L2+X or B R+L+X or B: D-link with your dream eater partner (wow, they're allies!! so I'll get to fight against my beloved heartless!)

R1+L2+A R+L+A: D-link with both dream eater partners

 

These 2 posts of mine translate pretty much everything that's written in that image, enjoy!^^

The camera sounds difficult to control again. Looks like I'll be getting the ugly second analog accessory >.< (I want to be in Japan and play it myself!!)

That doesn't really make much sense, since there's only an R button and an L button, not an L1/L2 R1/R2
