According to the patch notes posted on their official Japanese site, the update coming today will bring not only tougher challenges via Critical Mode but will also improve quality of life in other facets of the game, such as increasing the number of photo slots in the Gummiphone so you could take more selfies and Lucky Emblems and allowing you to transfer your Keyblades over to the new game file from your clear save data.

Here are the complete patch notes via Kingdom Hearts 3 Insider & Square Enix:

Update 1.04 Contents

  • Critical mode added, new abilities can be used.
  • Some enemy behavior has been adjusted.
  • Frozen Slider minigame treasure added to the mobile portal (Gummiphone).
  • Synthesis items already synthesized will have checkmarks in Moogle Shop.
  • Game help messages added.
  • Fixed various issues.

Update 1.05 Contents

  • When you start a “new game,” Keyblades and other materials can be carried over from your clear save data.
  • Photo mode updated to store up to 200 photos in the Gummiphone.
  • Fixed various issues.

We waited patiently enough for Kingdom Hearts III to fall on our laps, but it was too easy for some people, even in Proud Mode. We’ll have to see if Critical mode will be the challenge that hardcore Kingdom Hearts 3 players were looking for.
