Day 2: June 14 at 9:45am PDT

 

Day 3: June 15 at 9:45am PDT

 

Although Kingdom Hearts does not have a dedicated panel slot for this year's Square Enix Presents, it does not rule out the possibility of Kingdom Hearts III appearing at E3 in some capacity.

I really wanted to see more of kingdom hearts 3. Oh well.

We may get something! It's not impossible!

[PrinceNoctis 1,011]

That pretty much confirms that we'll learn more about Episode Prompto this E3! Really excited! Hooe KH3 makes it to the event! That would be amazing!

[Shulk 8,623]

"30 Years of Final Fantasy," more like 20 years since Square ignores anything before VII...

YES. Oh my god, I thought I was the only one excited about Episode Prompto! While I'm there, I'll see if they have something playable like they do for Dissidia. Hopefully I'll be able to get you guys some footage before Square releases it later this month.

It's not like VII stands for it being the seventh FF game. That'd be a stupid naming convention... right?

I also would not rule out the possibility. There's this trailer line-up mentioned in the schedule and there's also the Sony conference.

 

Let's not forget that most of these panels are around 15-45 minutes long. While KH3 is likely more developed than it was 2 years ago, I doubt they will have a panel exclusively about it at this point. At least none that exceeds the length of a few minutes.

 

Additionally, most of the games featured here are games which have either been released or will release soon. Basically, games which are at a more presentable state and need more marketing or could use to have more background info since their release.

 

I'm not saying there will absolutely be something regarding KH3 at E3, but panels are what they are. Mostly talking while showing off the games. And KH3 is not anywhere near having such a panel when the interviews have always been so cryptic up until now. You have to be able to fill at least 15 minutes in such a panel, which I cannot see when that amounts to everything that we have seen since 2013.

But it can still have a regular trailer, just like FFVIIR could have one.

Yeah, VII is actually the first. It's short for the original spelling of the word, viirst.

I'm sorry if this might come across as somewhat abrasive, but this is just incorrect. Let's take a look back at everything released post-VII. Is Square Enix not releasing games which celebrate the series' history, including those before VII? Well, no, they're doing that quite a lot. These include World of Final Fantasy, the various Dissidias, Record Keeper, Brave Exvius, The Four Heroes of Light and Bravely Default (basically spiritual successors to III and V respectively), and many, many more. How about the various remakes and remasters of I-VI, including complete overhauls of III and IV? If that's not enough, each of these has gotten many different ports as well, including the fact that IV happens to be one of Square's most widely accessible games in history due to just how many systems it was made available to.. What about IV The After Years? As poorly-received as it was, at least IV got some attention when it comes to its world and story. That's not even mentioning the gargantuan amount of references and cameos within XIV.

 

I honestly don't mean to be a jerk, but Square hasn't been ignoring Final Fantasy whatsoever, especially when it comes to the classics. They now understand just how much their demographic values the first nine entries in the series.

Dang! It's not on the list. LOL But that's ok if 3 does or doesn't appear. I won't be mad. 

[MythrilMagician 6,963]

The chances have lessed though. Heck, they've been low from the beginning.

[KH4Real 749]

Well it might be in Square Enix trailer line-up.

There always is a high chance that it will appear in Sony's E3.

True.  Like I said. It's ok if it does or doesn't show up. Great or Ok it's not making an appearance.

Why is Agent's of Mayhem there? that's a Deep Silver game. They can promote the game themselves, why waste Square Enix's time with it?

[animemylove 439]

I think we will still get a little something, just not a big presentation since KH3 is still a good ways from release.

[Endless Thundaga 533]

I hope they at least show us SOMETHING. Image, gameplay, info, whatever, I just don't want to be disappointed.

[KeybladeLordCheeseCurd 1,542]

Wait a minute, I just remembered that KH3 wasn't in their E3 plans in 2015, yet it had a trailer.

 

Maybe we're getting worked up a bit too much.

 

Of course, Nomura said that he wouldn't appear at E3, but will be at another event[he said this offscreen during the Dissidia thing or something]but I can't get an accurate translation, and the translations I did get were from Google and Bing, and both either had "bad day" or "angry".

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Thanks for providing us with this line-up, Mystics!

 

And everyone, let's calm ourselves and look at this in a certain light! Even though there isn't a dedicated slot for Kingdom Hearts III, the game could still have a trailer in any of the trailer line-ups that Square has for their three day schedule! So if anything, I'm sure that we'll see a new Kingdom Hearts III trailer within the trailer line-ups!

[logonin 3]

Will the trailer line up events be trailers for new games? I want to know if I should be watching for KH3 news, and I want to know which day to watch.

[Connected 978]

So the best chance of KH making an appearance is at the E3 2017 Trailer line-up ??

AND the Sony Conference. Just because it ain't on Square's schedule[like in 2015]doesnt mean it won't show up at Sony's conference.

 

It could also show up at the Orchestra concert which is conveniently dated next to E3.

Anybody notice the "All programs are subject to change without notice" on the lower left-hand side in each day of Square Enix presents? 

 

It gives kingdom hearts 3 a possibility to pop out of nowhere within those four days.

Huh. Well whaddya know.

Well atleast Richard Epcar wasn't wrong.
