The Kingdom Hearts III teaser video is the game's starting scene-- Yasue talks KH3 with Kotaku


DChiuch

Kotaku have conducted an interview with Tai Yasue, the current co-director of the Kingdom Hearts series, who is currently at E3 2014 to promote Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. In this interview, Yasue reveals some details about Kingdom Hearts III. Quotes from Yasue can be read below.

Talking about the Kingdom Hearts III E3 2014 teaser video:

Yasue: That's the starting scene for Kingdom Hearts III, actually. [Co-director Tetsuya] Nomura has a real clear picture of the starting sequence. He wrote that up actually, the drawings, and we voice-recorded that. That's gonna be a real integral part of the story of Kingdom Hearts III. It's gonna be the starting point of Kingdom Hearts III.

Kotaku: Is there anything you can hint at or tease to fans who might be desperate for any information on Kingdom Hearts III?

Yasue: As a developer I'm really excited, the technology is totally different, and creatively it's moving at leaps and bounds.

Talking about the Kingdom Hearts III trailer at D23 Expo Japan:

Yasue: We'll have, I think, a lot of that. You could I guess imagine a theme park sort of ride-based action. I think that might be an important part of the game, and so I think people can really look forward to that. It will be moving in leaps and bounds, I think. It's very exciting.

An interesting quote from the article: "I told Yasue, who is bi-lingual and speaks both Japanese and English, that the first thing everyone thought when Disney bought Lucasfilm was that now Kingdom Hearts could have Star Wars. He laughed and said he couldn't comment."

Final words:

Yasue: Kingdom Hearts 2.5 is gorgeous, I think. But Kingdom Hearts III is pure magic.

Guys, DOES THIS MEAN WE START KH3 PLAYING AS EITHER YOUNG XEHANORT OR ERAQUS?!? I mean, KH2 started with us playing as Roxas and It would be a good way of having the "Dive into the heart" section.

That was the first thing I thought of when I read the title. :(

That would be really cool. I'm hoping to be able to play as YX, I think it'll be cool.

That might just be one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

I sense a weird disturbance in the force! It's like someone asked if star wars was going to be in Kingdom Hearts 3 and square responded by saying no comment which has a feeling of a very likely yes! And it feels like Xehanort and Eraqus were the two characters in the teaser for Kingdom Hearts 3!

So... This means that Star Wars WON'T be in KH3? YES!! OH GOD, PLEASE DON'T PUT MARVEL IN THERE!!!!

Well, the article said "I told Yasue, who is bi-lingual and speaks both Japanese and English, that the first thing everyone thought when Disney bought Lucasfilm was that now Kingdom Hearts could have Star Wars. He laughed and said he couldn't comment."

 
So... maybe.

Every time they laugh and say no comment it seems like the answer appears to be yes!

I think that at the beginning it might be Terra's station of awakening since Eraqus and Xehanort are both inside Terra and who knows how the battle inside of Terra is going at the moment.

Ah, I knew it! :) So let me see here... we press New Game on the KH3 main menu. It leads us to either the opening or this segment. Once we start to see this segment, it will probably show the background of when Eraqus and Xehanort were training under a Master. We might even be able to play as either Eraqus or Xehanort. And to think about it, it's usually the numbered titles that have a new character you play as in the beginning of the game (KH2). Since this is the 3rd, this could be possible. Now if we are able to play, we'd be able to explore the world they live in and train (get used to the new battle system Nomura has developed for us: in other words, this segment could be the tutorial segment of the game, just minus the Disney attractions lol). Maybe we'll have the ability to play as Eraqus and/or Xehanort for a couple of days like Roxas in KH2 until we reach a certain day where "everything changes". And by this, I mean on that day we should see the cutscene they shown in the new teaser. And as soon as Xehanort says those last words, the camera focuses on Eraqus for a few seconds, who looks pretty disturbed from that statement and then boom... fade to black.... logo pops up. :D Well? I think that sounds pretty accurate, don't you agree? :) (I could be totally wrong, but who knows? I think this would be an awesome idea and would set the stage for the rest of KH3 perfectly in my opinion). Idk... I'm just glad Nomura thought of putting this interesting cutscene in the beginning of the game... so many possibilities and assumptions :D

A lot of theme park action...oh god.Honestly, this looks like the stupidest thing I've seen in the series yet. It's just so clunky and out of place and pointless. At least summons had an explanation, how the hell are they going to explain giant rides coming out of nowhere?? It's just so...unbelievable kiddish and clunky and stupid.Idk, they better prove me wrong or else I'm going to be a little annoyed. Though, that will probably just mean I'll play the game without using that ability.

As a female I want to play as another female character more. Kairi is a main character since the beginning and deserves it more than new characters.

It usually means ''No'' as well. Depends on how he laughed.....he may of been making fun of the idea for all you know.

 

Star wars wouldn't fit in a game with anime style characters and mickey mouse.

If you think about it though neither does Tron or Pirates.
