With Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days coming out tomorrow, the folks over at IGN have finally posted their review! They praised the gameplay, but felt that the game was very much a retread. Overall, the review was pretty good. Take a look!

In other news, Lissar has provided a translation of a brief Nomura interview found on FF-Reunion. It contains some very intriguing tidbits of info:

"We would like to release it in early January. Or at least not in February." "Their master is a famous voice actor that is difficult to hire." "The voice of Master Xehanort's apprentice is me. No, that's a lie (laugh) It'll be a surprise." "This is only a new version of Aqua's outfit, but not final. We're still going to make changes."

And, finally, for any of you interested--apparently a 358/2 Days preview will be airing tonight on Disney XD during the film "Catch That Kid". Be sure and watch it if you're interested!

A new scan from Jump Magazine has surfaced that shows off the new "Dimension-Link" feature. Ven can now call on Stitch to help him in battle. Take a look:

EDIT: Lissar has provided a translation of the article--

A dream attack that has crossed over from another dimension!

Dimension Link System!!

The battle system has been confirmed!! Companions left in other worlds will be able to lend their powers across dimensions to our traveling heroes.

Link with your companions! Here, the link is ON!!
Linking with Experiment 626 in Deep Space. This way, no matter where the MC is 626 can lend him his powers.

Immensely powerful and fun to use Finish moves!

Even though your companions are far away, you can still use their powers by using the Dimension Link system! Just by linking to them you will get more powerful, and be able to use unique Finish moves!

Finish moves will have two power up levels!!

Start the Dimension Link! The prize boxes left from defeated enemies will fill up your D-LINK gauge. Once the gauge is filled you will be able to activate the Dimension Link!!

Once you’ve activated it, the face of the companion you’ve linked to will show up on the bottom right of the screen!! On the first and second levels of Finish moves the face of your companion will change.

The first level Finish move: Reflect Beam [? guessing here] Collect the symbols that drop from defeated enemies while you’re in Dimension Link mode. When you have 0~1 symbols, you will shoot the beam.

Number of symbols: You can only collect up to two symbols that the enemies drop!!

The second level Finish move: Ohana Beat
When you’ve collected two symbols, you’ll be able to perform a stronger Finish move. He’ll play the ukelele and attack enemies with sound waves!!

Many thanks to miiworld2 & FF-Reunion. Discuss this and more on our forums.
