[Rokusasu]

I'm going to be a very good Roku and not look at any major spoilers until the game comes out in the US. o: Then I'll import.

 

[Vanitas~]

No promises at not reading any major spoilers, but, I won't post anything. Except maybe Vanitas' identity. I will use your format though, promise ^^
On second thought, I won't do it. I don't want someone's curiosity to get the best of them and them look at my post. Still, I WILL be looking for his identity.

On a separate yet still similar note, the concept art posted awhile back featuring TVA and Mickey is in fact the boxart cover. (Is it just me, or is SE getting more and more plain with their boxarts?)

 

[Captain Riolu]

New Vjump scans

Spoiler:

Translation:

Spoiler:

(The upper part just talks about how the Command Board is like a dice game and you can level up your abilities that way. Also says you can get abilities?)

There are lots of various requirements for activating a "Special Attack"!

Pulse Bomb
Ventus holds his keyblade backhanded and sends out energy from the light of the keyblade causing many small explosions.

Rainbow Shower
A full body attack that is only for Aqua! Rainbow colored light will follow after an enemy that has been locked-on to. It's an attack that is both beautiful and strong!

Special Attack 1: Lock-on and get them all with one attack!

Shoot Lock
Lock-on to multiple enemies and attack them all at once! You'll be able to clean up and finish them all off quickly.

Requirements:
The FOCUS gauge must be filled all the way.
Then you have to press the L and R buttons simultaneously.

(page 2)

Blade Charge
Terra's keyblade will be wrapped in light, and he'll be able to strike enemies further away.

Air Rider
Ventus rides his keyblade through the air, enabling him to attack quickly.

Rock Rise 2
When Terra attacks an enemy huge rocks will spring up from the ground, giving him extra damage.

Heal Strike
When Aqua attacks an enemy, some of her HP is restored. It will be helpful in battles where you need to heal a lot.

Special Attack 2:

Style Change
Once the gauge is filled you'll be able to change your Style. Depending on your play style, after you change your abilities will change as well.

Requirements:
Once the Command Gauge has been filled, and you've met other special requirements, you can change your Style and can change to stronger attacks.

Special Attack 3: The strongest abilities that you can even level up

Finish Commands
Special abilities that add extra effects against enemies and can even heal your HP!

Requirements:
The Command Gauge must be filled to maximum.
Once you've fulfilled other special requirements, you can (level up? grow?) the ability.


Arena Mode
Up to three people can cooperate together!

A game where up to three people can cooperate together to win and defeat enemies. Battles with high difficulties like these can be overcome if you have your friends to help you.

Many unique enemies will appear only here. "The Illusionist" is an extremely strong enemy that uses a book as a weapon. If he touches you with the laser you will be hit with massive damage.

The strongest Command
Trinity Limit
A strong Command that can only be used if three of you play together. A huge ball floating in the air will create a huge explosion.

And the official site updated.

On tawpik:

It's going to be hard for me not to stumble upon spilers, as I'm the kind of person who likes to look up gameplay videos. I remember back when Days first came out in Japan, I was looking at videos then I accidentally came across a video that spoiled something for me regarding the 14th member.

EDIT: Axel and Saix's somebody's have been shown as children in the new Jump Festa trailer

 

[Captain Riolu]

A gameplay scene where Aqua fights Vanitas and a cutscene where Vanitas lays defeated and Aqua tries to remove his mask but before she can he quivers and lets out an extremely shrill laugh. Later Master Xehanort is questioning Vanitas about Ven and he is holding his mask at his hip but the camera angle avoids his face.

.:Insert Aku's fangasm here:.

XD

 

[Crystal-Heart]

It wouldn't be the first time he played a kid.

 

[ソラ]

I like that news. I cannot wait till I get to hear it tho.
Lea >w<

 

[Crystal-Heart]

You all know I'm usually pretty laid back and lieniant with rules, but the previously mentioned rule still applies though people..please put anything that may be a spoiler into spoiler tags, this includes announced characters, like the complete forms of certain Nobodies.

Please be courteous to your fellow members, as some may not wish to know certain things so that it will still be a surprise when they see it or find out in game. Here is an example of how things should be put so people know if its the type of spoiler they want to see or not.

Newly Announced Character (Returning/New NPC)

Spoiler:

Such as a returning character, for example, Leon or Cid, or a new character, for instance, Zack or Master Erauqs

Plot Related

Spoiler:

Such as why Terra is siding with the villians or who Vanitas really is

Multiplayer Related

Spoiler:

In the case of new characters being announced as unlockables for Multiplayer Mode, such as Sora, Roxas, or Riku, or if you can play as the main three unarmored.

This rule will remain enforced until two months after Birth by Sleep is released in North America, or Europe, if they get their copy later. So please please please abide by it. It will allow people to still participate in most of the conversation without having to have their gaming experience spoiled.

 

[Rokusasu]

Oh my friggin' God. Christmas has come early. <3333

Spoiler:

Quinton Flynn + teeny Lea FTW.

 

[Vanitas~]

Sorry. I didn't think Lea being in was that big of a spoiler. I'll do better next time. I promise.

Speaking of additional details:
Character Spoilers:

Spoiler:

Kirk Thorton will also be reprising his role as not-Saix, AND Corey Burton is back, again, but for currently unkown roles. I'm assuming Captain Hook, among others...
