I just bought Dream Drop Distance yesterday, and I've had nothing but problems with it, to the point that we're planning to take it back to the store today for an exchange for refund, hearing that others among you have encountered glitches, errors, and crashes as well just angers me. Square Enix really do seem to have released a game that's not had anywhere near enough QA.
My game keeps crashing entirely. It mostly does it during cutscenes, menu screens or loading screens. It even crashed once during the opening animation (Mickey on the bottom screen, FMV with scenes from the last games and various credits on the top screen).
Sometimes, the 3DS will just lock up and all I can do is hold in the power button, other times, it just gives me a generic "game encountered an error" message while booting me back to the 3DS home screen with no error code. Recently, it's crashed twice during Riku's first Drop (just before you meet Joshua), giving the following error code
Exception Type: VFP

I've not been able to get past creating Riku's Dream Eater as the game consistently crashes at that point. It's really frustrating and defeating, because me and my fiancee bought a 3DS XL specifically to play Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance to get up-to-date before Kingdom Hearts 3.
Most of the fixes I've read on here involve going back to the world map - I can't get far enough into the game to access the world map. Help?
