The characters of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy — both ally and enemy — come from across all 13 Final Fantasies. Yet instead of mixing and matching art styles, Square Enix hired the Japanese design studio Monster Octopus to recreate all these Final Fantasy characters in their own cute, doll-like style.
Earlier this month to celebrate the Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary, Square Enix held the Kingdom Hearts Premier Event in southern Tokyo. Yesterday, to celebrate the release of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, they put footage of the event up on the official Kingdom Hearts 3D website.
New screens from the opening movie for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance show off the game’s dedication to stirring the series’ already convoluted storyline into one large frothy jumble tasting faintly of salt water ice cream.
Gearing up for the release of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, this week, part deux of Tetsuya Nomura’s interview was featured in Weekly Famitsu. Nomura discussed the latest in the Kingdom Hearts series (and added some more very vague references to Final Fantasy Versus XIII).
The world of Fan Fiction is a curious one — an intimidating mass of yaoi, wish fulfilment and sprawling non-canonical fandom. But the reasons for writing Fan Fiction are as extensive as the reasons for writing fiction itself. In this feature, we explore the curious world of fan fiction — from the beautiful to the bizarre.
Weekly Famitsu hit the magazine racks today, and if you picked it up eagerly looking for more information about Final Fantasy Versus XIII in the interview with Nomura Tetsuya (more than just the leaked tidbits of info), well you were probably let down. If you picked it up looking for information on Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, you were well rewarded.
Publisher Square Enix has released some new screenshots and artwork for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, the upcoming action-roleplaying game that it will release for Nintendo 3DS this year.
Square-Enix’s official French store briefly listed Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream, Drop, Distance for release on July 27 before the company pulled back the listing and replaced it with “Summer 2012″. Either way, it’s a more precise release window than what we’d heard before.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance will be out March 29 in Japan. There will be a special Kingdom Hearts 3DS handheld. While I like the monogram, I’m not a fan with the Kingdom Hearts text or the stupid Disney copyright.
Does playing every game in the Kingdom Hearts series qualify you as a true fan? Commenter zombie711 thinks it might be a little more involved than that in today’s Speak Up on Kotaku.
