Famitsu Scans and Screenshots July 21 & 22, with translations

[kostas]

Scans here!

Although the first scan may appear similar to one from the Jump scans from last week, it is still different. Perhaps this is a standard piece of imagery Square Enix gives to publishers?

Contents include, in order:

• Digital Sora and the hooded Unknown in Traverse Town.
• The Unknown in Mickey's office at Disney Castle in screenshot, and an explanation of the mystery figure on-page.
• Again within the King's room is the Unknown, now seemingly part of a tutorial of Re:Coded's battle system, while the article itself also details this.
• Continuing explanation and analyses of gameplay, Sora is now battling in Traverse Town.
• Images from Wonderland - Sora is speaking with Alice.
• In the next images, Sora and Alice make some kind of choice.
• Following on, the Queen of Hearts arrives.
• The last page shows a battle in Wonderland, but with a twist: Sora is moving about on a wall, though not like in KH1. Instead, the perspective remains standard, but Sora, company and enemies are all side-on.

Spoiler Show

Within battle you can now use the new "Overclock" system. When you attack enemies or use an ability on them, the "Clock Gauge" will get filled. When filled, it will automatically use its power. You can also fill the gauge even more to get more "Clock level" and unleash even more powerful skills.

LV1:Auto-potion…You use a potion on yourself when your HP is low.
1rotect…Reduces damage from physical attacks.
1:Shell…Reduces damage from magical attacks.

LV2:Medic…Multiplies x2 the effect of recovery items.
2:Auto-dodge…Automatically avoids the enemies' attacks.

LV3:Spirit Attack…Physical attack that makes the enemy flinch.
3:Spirit Magic…Magic attack that makes the enemy flinch.
3:Counter Aero…???
3:Full Swing…???

LV4(MAX):Attack Boost…Increases your attack power.
4(MAX):Auto-counter…???

~~~Explanation~~~

The clock gauge is what is right next to Sora's face. This is kinda like a slightly different version of BBS' finisher commands. The abilities can change the same way you change a weapon. It also seems as if there are lots of abilities. The "Weapon level" can also increase, and get more abilities that way. You can change your abilities in the Touch Panel and equip them to your liking.

They have added new block types too.

• Ghost Block It appears in the latest PV at 1:40. It's a block that appears and disappears.
• Pair Block Blocks you can join to get items.
• Bound Block You can jump on it to perform a high jump as if you were using a trampoline.

~New commands~(I will put the PV ones as well)

• Wind Storm(New)
• Thunder Rain(New)
• Fire Ball(New)
• Wind Spin(PV)
• Blizzard Dart(PV)
• Aero Shield(PV)
• Thunder Spear(PV )

• Barbecue sauce: Minami415 (冬音ぶろぐ)

UPDATED: SCREENSHOTS

Many of the images posted in the Famitsu article have been posted on the site itself, here.

Spoiler Show

Weird blocks are appearing all
over the place.

The three of us are trying to find out
the reason why those blocks are appearing.

Huey, stay back! Return to Cid's house!

Duey! Run away, quick!

Hm... I knew it, it's useless after all.
I can't remember anything.

Because of the bugs, everyone's
memories are scattered all over.

I wonder what was my name.
I can't remember.

-Alice
-???

Okay, I could be wrong about the commands, but is just me or does everyone get better magic attacks/ commands than ordinary Sora? I heard Roxas' attacks were more varied in Days, as in Cura and the other spells were more than just an upgrade upon the original. TAV's attacks are obviously more varied and now we have Data Sora with more variety in his attacks. I sure this means we'll actually see more than just plain ol' Thunder, Fire, Blizzard, Cure, and whatever other types of magic attacks are present in KH3.

Edit: I forgot Chain of Memories, but still. In KH1 and KH2, all the ra's and ga's were just upgrades. Sure, he had special attacks in KH1 and drives/ RCs in KH2, but what about magic variety?

To me it seems as though that the game is a mix of all of the current mobile version:
-Main style of combat is based off of BBS
-Story (and avatars) is obviously Coded based
-While the LV System (Nomura stated that the whole customization thing from Days would be apparent), is from Days.
And the Overclock method kinda reminds me of the combo thing from Days (press Y when you want to go Aerial, ect).

You're right! I never thought of it that way, I just hope it's a change for good... Really good scans and translations, thank you kostas and Key to Truth!

I wonder what'll happen if you choose the ??? when Alice is asking for her name.

 

[Ehres]

I wonder what'll happen if you choose the ??? when Alice is asking for her name.

the game will probably call you a dumbass and tell you to go back to your nintendogs

Sora will probably just say "I don't know." and then the scene just moves on.
