{{ENX|talktext=When Square Enix announced ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', I was excited to see that it would be another sequel to ''Kingdom Hearts II'', one that connected to ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', allowed me to play as Riku again, and promised to feature the return of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Xemnas, and Master Xehanort. The gameplay shown in early trailers for ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' looked amazing; before Square Enix decided to focus on the game's development, the biggest mystery in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' fanbase was the significance of "3D" that Tetsuya Nomura promised. I personally thought it would stand for "Three Doors," referring to the Door to Light, Door to Darkness, and possibly a Door to Nothingness. I could not have been more wrong. | |||
As the development of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' progressed and I continued to follow the news concerning the game, I found my excitement for its release greatly reduced for numerous reasons. While I liked Sora and Riku's new outfits, I did not like or understand Riku's haircut. While I'm sure many people were overjoyed to hear that characters from ''The World Ends With You'' would be appearing in Traverse Town, I felt it was too late in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series to make it a crossover with another game franchise. Seeing a world based on ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' made me quite pleased, but that was as far as my excitement concerning ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' went. I was disappointed to see that the Dream Eaters would be replacing the Heartless and Nobodies as the game's main enemies; to me, their ridiculous designs did not fit in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe at all, especially since its story had become so dark and serious. Unfortunately, it looked like Square Enix would be making another joke of a game, one that was only slightly better than ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. | |||
Like with ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' before it, ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' was a game I felt obligated to buy just because it was a part of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. There was just one problem; I needed a Nintendo 3DS. Luckily, I was able to persuade my mother to buy me one just in time for the release of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' in North America; I purchased both the game and its required game system on July 31, 2012. I also got the ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' official strategy guide; I remember flipping through it in eager anticipation on the long car ride home from Best Buy. As I did with any ''Kingdom Hearts'' game I received, as soon as I got back to my house, I rushed upstairs to play it. | |||
I beat ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' on August 4, 2012. Never had I beaten a ''Kingdom Hearts'' game so quickly. ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' was exactly the disappointment I thought it would be; many things contributed this opinion. For one thing, I was disappointed in the game's story, which had great potential but ended up being anticlimactic and completely destroyed the already-established storylines of previous ''Kingdom Hearts'' games due to several needless retcons. While I did enjoy the new interpretation of the battle system from ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep'' that ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' featured, I feel the Dream Eaters were not suitable allies in comparison to Disney characters, and I despised the game's reliance upon them as the only means of unlocking new abilities for Sora and Riku. I felt the worlds featured in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', with the exception of La Cité des Cloches and Symphony of Sorcery, were very boring and repetitive to travel around; considering the fact that Tetsuya Nomura had promised that ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' would feature all-new worlds, I was disappointed that so many of them utilized characters from ones that we had already seen, such as The Grid and Prankster's Paradise. I was absolutely blown away by the 3D graphics in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''; this is one of the game's few redeeming qualities. Conversely, I absolutely hated the soundtrack of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. Considering the brilliance of Yoko Shimomura's previous work in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', I felt that many of the pieces in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' either sounded flat, too happy, or they were remixes of remixes, thus they were unoriginal. Overall, I could not stand how ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' did not take itself seriously; a perfect example of this is the tea party scene at the end of the game, which is completely random and unnecessary. For a game that is meant to lead into the much-anticipated ''Kingdom Hearts III'', I really wish Square Enix had done a better job on it.}} | |||
