There's apparently gonna be one of those DENA interviews tonight, an hour after normal "Things happen" time, talking about the KH event. So I guess that's an opportunity to maybe learn about some of the stuff in the event 23 hours before it actually happens.

I am getting excited. Feels like stuffs happening.
It's a 6-star Keyblade that has a Fire, Ice, and Lightning boost effect on it. It's basically The Best Sora Weapon, or at least the most convenient one (I imagine any number of 6-star Swords will outclass it, but being a Keyblade with all of Sora's elements on it, it's something that you can Rosetta to full and pretty much superglue to Sora's hand, and he'll do fine if you have his Soul Breaks).
...and they're making note that the common Daily Draw will have a chance of dropping KH relics during the event. The chances of actually getting one from a pool of literally everything is pretty bad, but it's neat that that's even a thing that's possible.
And finally, we're getting 30 days of an extra Mythril per daily login, looks like.
edit:
Ah, the help menu has info on EX and Awoken modes for the new characters. Looks like Axel is actually a hybrid, with soul breaks that can be magic or physical. He really is just Reno! Except the chases include the Wind element as well, which could be just for flavor.
Mind, it's a Keyblade, so it's only gonna be useful for Sora and (if he can use Keyblades) Axel. It's kind of like that SSB doll for Lulu that has +Ice. If you have stuff for the characters who can wield it, it's great.

Yeah I think I mulched my last Keyblade for a rosetta. This one might make a rainbow crystal though.
My Keyblades are currently in the vault; Riku's Ultra proved very useful, but the Keyblade associated with it doesn't have +Dark, so I've been having him use Vayne's O sword instead.
CSB Dream Relic Draw: JP hasn't done one, but the DeNA seems to be interested for Global. Seems like there are some issues that need to be ironed out. They will consider it regardless.
All the mainline KH games will have some representation in the event. Sorry Data Sora fans, you're out of luck. It looks like that they are saying their are three events, one for each KH game!
World Hearts (KHI) brings back the old wardrobe records. People seem to like the Tyro black robe.
In Trembling Twilight (KHII) adds Roxas and Axel, along with their respective memory crystals. The developers noted that both characters were very popular, and the KH team overlooked development of the event.
Spun From Light (KHIII) adds Sora's and Riku's wardrobe records. The team reiterates that they worked hard on the events.
Roxas will have knight and darkness access. LD gives holy up and blind resist. Axel has celerity, black magic, and sharpshooter. LD gives him fire + and resistance to paralysis.
Four AASBs (Sora, Riku, Roxas, Axel)
No indication of the actual banner releases or what will be on them beyond the AASBs and new Yuffie USB and Dark Cloud AOSB and USB (datamining tonight?)
Three events in all, no indication of the number of banners, but with the number of 6* in play, it's a safe bet to assume "at least 2."
There's an in-game sweepstakes later this month for KH.
Deals 15 Fire/Ice/Lightning/Non attacks to a single target, temporarily increases his Fire, Ice and Lightning attack levels by 3, and grants him Awoken Spellblade mode. Awoken mode makes Spellblade hones infinite, increases his damage cap by 1 level (from 9999 to 19999), and causes every third Spellblade attack to trigger Blitz, dealing 10 Fire/Ice/Lightning/Non attacks to the target.
So it doesn't grant him Automatic Dualcast, like some Awakenings; it looks like it wants to lean really heavily on that stacking damage buff and the weird third-ability chase. I can only hope that Blitz does a lot of damage. Or it maybe could give him dualcast, but the example video shows him not dualcasting. I'm wondering only because this sounds a lot like Bartz's awakening, except Bartz does get automatic Dualcast in the awoken package. So I hope Sora's example video was some form of error. It'll still be plenty strong, but dualcasting is the shit.
Riku:
It's what you expect. 15 Dark attacks, Awoken Darkness mode and cap break, and each Darkness attack triggers a 5-hit attack.
Remember, the Ravid Spinner weapon is only for Accelerator.
edit:
The new Cloud Dark ultra seems neat. Not Ultra Cross Slash neat, but neat. It gives him Endark (I think), makes Heavy Charge be added twice at a time, and makes him chase Dark attacks with a 4-hit ability. Makes for a pretty strong Dark Impact user.
I'm definitely gonna try once each; I'd love for Sora to have something worth having (the lack of his Glints actually works in my favor this time, though the Burst is meh), and I could really use Roxas as a proper strong Enholy character. Pecil's Burst 1 and Overstrike is kinda... lacking, lately.
The new relics are all pretty great, mind. It looks like the Awakenings for the 4 characters do indeed do dualcast, so that's that sorted.
I suppose my best bet would be to chase Roxas and KH Cloud, but I'm kind of a sucker for RIku ever since I got his Ultra, so I can't do no pulls on his banner.
All I got last time was Sora fire glint, so yeah - lack of glints generally works for me, but.....eh.
Also, apparently the fire/wind guy has no way to get enWind?
He does not. It would seem that Wind is largely a flavor thing, due to his tendencey to turn flames into big tornados.
That being said, the changes to the way multi-element stuff interacts with things in this game might let him use the Awakening on Meltdown, even if he's hitting Wind damage? I'm not sure on that.
Still, they gave him Celerity access, so I feel like they still expect someone to try and use him for Wind.
I feel like the banner reveals took some wind out of my hype when I think back about how little (i.e. never) I used the Riku USB I got from the half price pull last year. Extra pulls can go toward AASBs in whatever configuration the anni banners come in, for characters I actively use (Tidus, Terra, Bartz). Will look them over tomorrow and make a decision - I like the idea of getting stuff for KH but I feel like it isn't as useful to me as say, a few pulls on the all chain banner for instance.
I've used all my KH stuff extensively, but that's more because en-element > ability spam > Glint > AOSB is extremely strong. I rarely touch Sora's or Riku's USBs, to be honest.
I use Riku's USB + Legendary materia for Siren, Sora's BSB for other stuff Bartz isn't strong against. I'm excited to pull, not so excited to fail at pulling

I should just keep saving for fest but I have a feeling they're going to split up the Terra Bartz banner
Even if they do we wanted both right? No matter what they will have at least one banner with at least two AASBs. Usually they make global fest banners have more top prizes but screw up the lower stuff.
shit! not Squall's USB4! Well I think I'm pulling on both. I mean, Sora is multi element and more Wind Options aren't bad in Axel. Also, I want Roxas to retire my Orlandeu lol.
By the way, today's Daily Draw will reset an extra time when the KH event begins. Meaning you get 2 daily draws today, if you draw before and after the event begins.
I’m kinda bummed that Sora’s glints got left out. Without them, no way am I pulling hard on these banners.
Makes it easier to save the mythril for future fests though.
Really? Can I ask why?
I'm the exact opposite. I got all Glints and no useful pieces for Sora last time, so I welcome a chance to get his actual good stuff this round.
I have none of Soras glints, and only his USB. Which means LD is his only source of enelement, which is on a short timer starting at the start of battle when all the buffs etc are still being built.
It is, isn’t it? Imperil Holy, 50% ATK buff, and burst commands that damage him to use (because he’s so frail, I guess)
Works well with current Bard abilities, I think. Give him Ode to Victory or even double up on ATK buffs with Warrior’s Hymn, and he can get a team of Knights going.

I assume. I was just copy/pasting
I think Fest banner 3 might still be better.
I think they meant overlooked like they didn't do an event for KH2 but should have.

Banners are up. 2 banners. Sora/Riku on first, Roxas/Axel on second.
Only 3 new items on banner 1, 5* glints are out
"Just"
RIP Kelger for anyone who gets that Yuffie Ultra.
Remember, the Ravid Spinner weapon is only for Accelerator.

There's still some good stuff in there, but not break the bank before 4th anniversary good.

Apparently Squall Awakening plus burst is super silly, so I imagine that Sora Awakening plus burst would also be super silly.
