- The demo we saw at E3 is taken straight up from the beginning of the game.
- 0.2 will include more than one playable Disney world and every world will have different gimmicks. In Enchanted Castle, we have to collect "gears" to manipulate time and restore the town.
- Spoiler:
Cinderella's castle won't be playable, once Aqua enters the castle she will find herself in another world consumed by darkness.
- The only way to make Aqua stronger in the game is to level up, since there won't be multiple keyblades.
- There will be side content for completionists.
- Nomura said in a past interview that the game had a length similar to a regular Kingdom Hearts world, but now that he's played the final game, he says people will be surprised at the duration. It's definitely not a 30 minute demo.
About Kingdom Hearts III
- Both Dream Drop Distance and 0.2 act as a prologue to KH3. He says he wanted the tutorial section from KH3 to be shorter than KH1 (the opening at Destiny Islands and Traverse Town) and KH2's (Roxas' story), so he put all this story elements on these two prequels so we would start KH3 without any need to listen to long explanations about what's happening.
- KH3 begins abruptly, people will be left wondering "what is Sora doing here?". He wants new players into the series to follow along, but also wants to reward people who have been following every piece of the story.
- The way KH3D and 0.2 end give hints about how KH3 begins. KH3D spoilers:
The game ends with Sora revisiting the Realm of Sleep and training there to be a Keyblade Master.
- The next piece of information about Kingdom Hearts 3 will be shared around KH2.8's release.
- Next year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts franchise and he's planning plenty of things to celebrate it. Nomura will share more details about it in August.

About Final Fantasy VII Remake
- The game is coming along well, Nomura wants us to not worry about it just because he hasn't shared info about it in a while.
- The timing for the next piece of information about VIIR hasn't been decided yet but he wants it to be a big info blow out instead of just sharing small details.
