Wow, 0.2 Riku sounds really good. AoE Buffer that buffs both general Str and PStr by 2 for 2 turns? I think he's the first Buffer that increases GenStr for more than 1 Turn. That is glorious, especially with the new Buff Cap. And we have Sora EX as the Magic Buff/Debuffer, rounding out the EX Trio. Wonder if we'll get a Kairi EX that has PSM Buff+3 and PSM Debuff-3? That would be hilarious.

So that's what Awakening does...Interesting. Basically they're extra effects not tied to skills that you acquire as you gain Dots. Though this does bring up a possible issue...You get them for fusing in Dupes, but what about medals that players have already Guilted? Will they suddenly and randomly get 5 Traits or will SE basically say "FU" to the WOFF medals and most Event Medals by forcing the need for more Dupes? This could be a double edged sword...guess we'll see how it goes. And they added more Story Quests! Nice. Rather curious how they'll address all this in the NA version, but I guess we'll see next month.

Can't wait to test out those new avatar face & skin customization features mentioned, but I hope that they'll add hair colors someday. I've never understood why some hair color options are limited to one gender (like green).
*edit: Should probably mention that some hair styles have alternate color palettes, like Namine B and Hades' style, but those alternate color options are limited to those styles

I'm also wondering why they didn't name "Additional Attack Power +40%" like PC KHx's Combo Plus skills, they seem to do the same thing. It's also worth mentioning that all awakening abilities stack except for Add. Attack Power +40%, according to the notice. I guess Combo Plus II in Ux would be game-breaking.

This is what I have always wondered. I love some of the colors that come with Nami Style B--and I'll sometimes wear that hairstyle just for them--but I wish they'd just make them more available elsewhere, y'know?:)

Oh, neat! I was wondering what Ephemer and Skuld were talking about, when I saw a screenshot of them on YouTube on the hill that the Master of Masters was on in Back Cover. Do you know if they hinted if Player's going to be a leader or not? Or are translations still up in the air right now? ...If they even talk about that when it comes to Player in this update, I mean.

On the main Union Cross screen, there'll be two orange circular buttons in the top right. Select the top one (The one with two overlapping hearts), this will take you the Cross Board page.

Got him with 12000 jewels. But I'm pulling for Axel EX since Vanitas and still nothing. Damn

Union X Multi is a little annoying... at this time. Get Rewards is too slow.

yeah i agree the cross coins rewarded earn turn is too little considering the length of time needed on certain stage, not to mention some players not keeping up with the party... seriously, after waiting for so long n this being only a 5 days event? cant they make it 2 weeks? or 10 days at least? that said, i do enjoy multiplayer mode, alot :)[/FONT]
