So what's your stance with brooms? Do you think they will ever come to the US version? I've heard two arguments both for and against it and I am on the fence in my opinion.

From my understanding of the situation, Japan has some pretty heavy gacha laws that require everything in a free phone game to be obtainable to a reasonable degree. So you see things like 3 orb mercy pulls and Mickey&Brooms in the Japanese version of the game to satisfy those laws.

Japan got M&B only four months into the game and the global version is starting its 11th month soon. Our premiums are only now starting to come with dots, and they are never guaranteed. The games are not only at different places in development, but different games altogether. From what I can tell of the global game, its purpose is to make money. So the question isn’t so much if it would help the game to release M&B, but if it would make them more money.

On one hand, it makes guilting easier. It means spending less money for the same outcome. But on the other hand, it allows more opportunity for players. It might inspire more people to play and the current players to spend more knowing their goals and aspirations can be achieved.

In my personal opinion, I am really unsure whether or not they will add M&B to the game. I see both arguments as being likely. But I do firmly believe that if they are added, it will be this April during the anniversary. If the anniversary comes and goes without M&B, I’ll firmly be in the “we aren’t going to get them” camp.

Loving all these questions!! Thank you!!

I am unable to beat the Phil & Herc event 160, the Hades one. Could I hope for some advice, please?

Absolutely!

All Hades fights are pretty much the same. His level is low, so Strength up medals - iKairi, Sebastian, Pooh, Piglet, etc. - and PSM medals - KH2 Kairi, Jack & Sally, WoFF medals, etc. - are going to be more useful than Defense down medals - iXion, HD Axel, Meg, etc. Hades is Magic so use Speed medals - Divine Rose is probably best.

The big thing here is his x3 PSM defense. You should get rid of that as soon as possible. Alice, Belle, Anti-form Sora, Zero, etc. are great ways to do this. If you keep dying, you should use Namine to steal his defenses before you clear them. You have two turns - later, three turns - to kill him, so don’t worry about getting a one-turn.

A really easy F2P build would be something like Pooh, Alice, Moana, Jack, Larxene B. This setup on DR will 1 turn Lv. 160 before you even get to your friend medal - I just tested it. ^_^

Hope this helped!!

So I too play the kh games, but don't understand one thing; Why is birth by sleep called that?

This is a great question.

The key quote in the series regarding this strange phrase is from Ansem the Wise: “A boy like him who touches so many hearts - he could open the right door and save all those people whose lives I managed to ruin. So many are still waiting for their new beginning, their birth by sleep. Even me. And even you.”

This vague idea is obviously subject to interpretation. Though it’s not expressly stated, the idea in the community (and according to Nomura, again, cryptically) is that “birth by sleep” is sort of like a renewal, or a redemption.  A beginning of things.  It’s more a spiritual birth in a way than a literal one.  A lot of this probably comes from the idea that “death” within the KH universe is unlike death in our universe. It is often not so concrete. Throughout the franchise, a lot of hearts are tied to Sora.  Especially given some lines in Dream Drop Distance, the implication is that Sora is probably the key to bringing about this spiritual rebirth, and in some instances, basically, reincarnation.  Then you have KHUx, the sleeping realm, the Dandelions, and the story of the end of the world from Kairi’s grandmother’s story.  There are a lot of threads at play here. What once probably started as a “cool sounding phrase” has really turned into a philosophical theme as the games went on.

But the BBS title specifically? It likely has to do with it being the beginning of things, the start of the cascade of events that led to everything. But also, by the end, almost every character is awaiting renewal, redemption, or a second chance.

[Edited for clarity - I was tired when I wrote this.]

Sora: I’m putting it in the keyhole!
Kairi: Shut the fuck up Sora, this is supposed to be romantic.
Sora: I’m unlocking your world!!
