Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (3DS)

I liked the command deck and and command styles in Birth By Sleep, but I only used a Shotlock during the tutorial. Birth By Sleep is in my opinion much better than Days. No equipping level up panels.

now announce bravely default for US

[Shizuka]

It'll take some time since Bravely Default still has a long way to come in development.

[stealth20k]

it seems pretty decently along to me

[Shizuka]

Kingdom Hearts 3D got a playable demo last month, we barely got new videos from Bravely Default since its announcement.

^ except a big one yesterday

Yeah...showing a 2D town for all of a couple minutes, if even that. Huge video that one.

Though, there may have been something else, cause I'm not all that interested in the game, and don't follow it much.

Would be nice, but I don't see it happening for a while.

Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] was announced last year as the same time as when the 3DS was revealed. March 2012, almost two years later, it's finally being released. Bravely Default probably has another year's worth of development,.

Even saying that is being a little too generous.

A years worth of dev? I dont think so. Square pumps out handheld titles faster than anyone

And yet [Dream Drop Distance] has taken two years, Birth by Sleep took five. And according to Nomura, Theatrhythm has been in development since [Dream Drop Distance] was revealed last year.

Totally pumping out those titles faster than the competition, to-tal-ly ~

Oh and Shiz, since it was officially announced for a US/EU release, it might be best to change the title name. Since we now have confirmation on the name: Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]

No clue what the brackets are for, it's like they are pulling a Dissidia 012 [DuoDecim] with the change...
But yeah, it's just a suggestion. No need to change anything, I am just anal when it comes to names, titles, and the like.

2 years is about the shortest time a KH game has been in dev. Theatrhythm was a near completed ds game and then they had to revamp it for the 3ds.

Done!

Well I guess you are right, but...

One could argue that [Dream Drop Distance] has been in development for a little while longer, since the original teaser, and demo were made for PSP and ported to 3DS. Meaning that in all likelihood it was a PSP title at first.

This is proven by the assets from the original footage/demo being within Birth by Sleep Final Mix's data. So perhaps it's taken longer... never know, I suppose.
