So nomura basically just announced multiple playable characters...

[VisitJoan 2,713]

I've been wanting this for awhile for KH3 so it's nice to see it come to fruition in the most epic way for the saga finale.Days just didnt cut it in this department.

Yeah. No online play = not cool. The closest person I have to play with is on the other side of Chicagoland.

[Keyblade101 526]

So this means Kairi's playable, right?

I hope so. Even if it's just a small part.

[Keyblade_warrior895 51]

I posted the very interview in this thread .

could ya post a link?

[Dave 5,715]

I'm.... hesitant, depending on how it's incorporated into the game. I really don't want something like DDD or BBS where you have multiple storylines to play through at the same time, or worse, having to restart the game multiple times in order to see it through. Mostly, I don't like when you're forced to stop playing with a character you really like in order to get through a necessary plot point with a character that you don't. It feels forced, and makes it more of a chore to get through. (The only reason I think it worked in DDD is because of the time element, where you know that even if you don't necessarily like the world you got dropped into, you'll get to go back in another ten minutes or so).

 

 

If it's something like you can swap characters while playing through a world, and not switching gears to a new plot, I would be more okay with it.

[SuperSmashDrake 48]

I honestly wouldn't be upset if it is just Sora and Riku again for the most part. I feel as if the final battle will have us rotating characters, using all of the seven lights. And here's hoping that instead of King Mickey bailing K.O.'ed Sora out of trouble it's Lea.

Interview 5: Tetsuya Nomura with Dengeki Online

Dengeki Online also had the opportunity to interview Nomura. This interview has a focus on Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy XV. Staff translator goldpanner has done a full translation of the Kingdom Hearts III parts of this interview, and with a big thanks to her, you can read the whole thing below.

Asking Tetsuya Nomura about Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III! E3 2013

 

> Announcing the game eagerly awaited by fans all over the world: Kingdom Hearts III!

---You've unveiled the long awaited Kingdom Hearts III.

Nomura: The clip was a teaser through and through, so we didn't give away much information. Things like Sora's outfit and battle gameplay are still to be revealed, so please look forward to that.

[Drones 58]

Ooooh.. I hope we can switch out to characters like Cloud and Leon. That would be epic.

 

No... just no. Those are Final Fantasy characters, this is Kingdom Hearts. I want the Final Fantasy character's roles to stay insignificant. Nomura should be able to create enough characters to replace them.

[EternalReckoning 1,135]

Where was that mentioned, i knew about the rest, but where was the new outfit mentioned?

flaming lea made a post above showing where it is

Yeah. No online play = not cool. The closest person I have to play with is on the other side of Chicagoland.

you could play it with all of us i'm sure when its released there will be some topic about exchanging psn names

[EternalReckoning 1,135]

nomura already confirmed mickey as playable, but lets hope lea is also playable in there somewhere

 

all the same that idea is awesome,

[Britipinojeff 95]

i think that Square should let us be able to play as multiple characters and switch between who we control. It could also work out like FF13 where you switch between the characters during the main story and then switch between whoever you want later.  

[baptiscool19 68]

nomura already confirmed mickey as playable, but lets hope lea is also playable in there somewhere  all the same that idea is awesome,

Where did he confirm mickey as playable ?I thought he said it was under consideration ?

[EternalReckoning 1,135]

Where did he confirm mickey as playable ?I thought he said it was under consideration ?

in that interview on the homepage he says he acknowledged how much players want him playable

nomura is famous for beating around the bush so this is confirmation

 

 

also i respect every opinion, yours is no different but if your not happy with something i said i'm not the one you should complain too, nomura said all of this in an interview.

[SoraKH 793]

YES!! KING MICKEY WILL BE PLAYABLEE!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[Toby 50]

I really want to play as Cloud

[EternalReckoning 1,135]

yes, cloud would be awesome

also king mickey and riku forevers

[Drones 58]

Cloud is a Final Fantasy character which means he is insignificant to the plot and shall stay that way.

[Toby 50]

Cloud is a Final Fantasy character which means he is insignificant to the plot and shall stay that way.

Am I not allowed to say I want to play as Cloud without people taking a crap on my opinions?

[Drones 58]

Am I not allowed to say I want to play as Cloud without people taking a crap on my opinions?

 Kingdom Hearts should've been strictly Disney and original characters, not Final Fantasy. Their relevance to the story will always stay minor. If Cloud were to be a playable character than his role would be greater. You can have opinions, I'm just pointing out that they won't ever happen so you don't get your hopes up .

[VeNate13 144]

I hope you can play has Lea, Aqua, Ven, and Terra. Oh and Kairi of corse!

[HikariYami 354]

I think that we will play as the previous playable characters:

Sora, Riku, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Lea, Roxas, Mickey, Donald, Goofy

[EternalReckoning 1,135]

Sora, Riku, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Lea, Roxas, Mickey, Donald, Goofy

oh no doubt about that

cant wait to see what lea's unique keys are going to be

 

only character im not sure will be is roxas, but ill be damned if hes not in a flash back or something, i nearly cried when he rejoined sora.

[EternalReckoning 1,135]

If you actually learned how to read you'd see how I said that's not true, but then again you're a stupid kid.

 

Already did that to you.

yes, your point? i know that all me and lea have said to you is to respect peoples opinions and not be rude, you said you were reporting me for not listening to you, how childish is that? i cant respect someone who reacts like that to a mature conversation, you also insulted me several times in that converse when all i told you was to stop being rude because your upsetting people, to which you replied, you wont listen to me, you deserve to die and then blocked me.

you might not like this but i think you need to take a good hard look at yourself

[Arthur Twining Hadley 60]

Roxas has to come back but probably not dual wielding since ven is going to wake up

They have to make Roxas and Lea/Axel encounter epic and emmotive or something, they fight together to beat a super strong boss or something I don't know ;3
