New hidden area discovered in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance code

Recently, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance's code was discovered containing a new hidden world/area. The new area found in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance's code appears to be some sort of ship. While it is uncertain what this area actually is, there is some info on the hidden code regarding the area.
 
The hidden area & code was discovered by YouTube user OmegaErkz.
 
According to Erkz, each code for the worlds contained in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance go by a certain area code. Worlds such as Hollow Bastion (hb), Destiny Islands (di), Twilight Town (tt), all go by this certain area code. The hidden area that was discovered has the area code "tp", which, if followed by the area code rule, could be an area based off of Disney's Treasure Planet.
 
The hidden area appears to have been scratched after an attempt to include it in the world selection for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. You can check out the hidden area below thanks to YouTube User OmegaErkz (Starting at 2:53:29)
 




 
While it is uncertain what the area is, we'd like to know: What do you think it is? Do you think it's an entire world dedicated to Treasure Planet? Would you like to see it in Kingdom Hearts III? Let us know in the comments below!

Square Enix recently updated their job opportunities in the career section of their website, and some of these new listings are for positions on the Osaka team of Square Enix Business Division 3, which is the team currently working on Kingdom Hearts III. We previously reported on the majority of the listings found on the site, but four new positions on the Kingdom Hearts team have opened up. The titles of the positions and brief descriptions of the jobs are listed below, thanks to R Kane.

 
Interesting to note is the role of the Lighting Artist, which hints at a role in post-production.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue demo spotted in Kinda Funny Games video

In a
by Kinda Funny Games, which is a popular YouTube channel, a demo for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue was spotted. While it isn't 100% confirmed, it could be possible that we will receive a public demo in the future before the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, which releases worldwide in December. On the other hand, the demo could simply be a press demo given to well-known press groups. 
While the video shows the spot around 4:01, it's only visible for a split second. However, thanks to Twitter user @Sora96, we have a full screenshot of the spot which can be seen below.
 



 
You can see the demo found to the far right in the screenshot. A public demo is certainly possible with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, considering the fact that we had a Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance 3DS demo 1 month prior to the release in July.
