How far do you think production of KH 3 is?

[Power Jusho 1,784]

I think they're a quarter of the way done. They have the gameplay, so now they have to balance it & fix some glitches but they still have to choose the other worlds and fix them. I think they're half-way done with the story since they're already doing the Japanese voice recording.

[ActuallyVenus 23]

on store shelves next week, thats how done it is.

 

(its actually probably in its alpha or early beta)

[Nick Sideris 1,551]

Something less than ...what ... a cutscene done ?

[Sora96 17,256]

LOL.

 

Very early.

[NO_HEART_XIII 312]

Not far enough.

[Hero of Light XIV 2,381]

I'd say about a quarter done, optimistically. The gameplay and levels are still being worked on and refined, and concepts such as online play and other characters are still in the consideration stage. The story probably has the most progress put into it, but I wouldn't say it's past the half-way point. They may have started voice-acting too, but probably only for the parts of the story that they have finalized. Otherwise, I would say that it's still in it's early stages. The day where they show us more gameplay footage and cutscenes would be the day I say that the game is nearing finalization.

by the way these people make it sound it is 1% out of 100% done

[Hero of Winds 2,576]

Right now, I'd bet they're putting the finishing touches on how they want the gameplay to be. As for the actual game, they're only just beginning.

[Josuke Higashikata 2,141]

What I want to know is, who thinks it's completely done? Anyway, I'm pretty sure is not very close to being done.

Considering the trailer doesn't even say 'Coming Soon' and just 'Now in Development' I assume they started development quite recently, maybe just a year before they revealed it

[Aile 273]

Not even close, still in early development. Btw, who voted on completely done? lol, trolls

[Hero of Light XIV 2,381]

The fact that there is no additional news at E3 regarding KH III pretty much confirms my point. They don't have enough to actually wow us or intrigue us yet, in terms of visual stuff. All we can get is just a snippet of the overall 15-25% that they have completed. In the meantime though, we can still press them with questions about other things, such as if DDD will ever get some special treatment (doubtful I know, but somebody's going to ask it anyway, so may as well get a straight answer from Square themselves) or if Kingdom Hearts X (chi) will ever become available for English speaking residents. I would REALLY like that to happen, because the latest teaser sort of solidifies chi's connection to III, so to anybody in the states who's never even heard of chi, let alone played it, it's not going to make a lot of sense. Hopefully that's one of the questions that will be asked and answered at the Square Enix panel.

 

And hopefully that answer will be "Yes".

Not even close im expexting a mid or late 2016 release 

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

I'm thinking that it's at least halfway done and Square is just keeping everything under wraps to keep us, the fans, ever more excited!  Surely now their main priority is polishing the gameplay elements, choosing the worlds and making the character models and such, and I'm guessing that the story, voice recording and music are left for last.  Wow, I'm so psyched for Kingdom Hearts 3 right now!!!!

Guess now they're halfway done, maybe they've chosen the worlds and plot is still in development...

[sagman12PC 280]

Not even a quarter of the way finished. All we have seen so far is work in progress gameplay which will 100% be changed. KH3 was announced last year at E3; who knows how long it has been in production. It wont be completed until late 2015 in my opinion, and thats the JAPANESE version. english version will come in 2016

[FutureKeybearer 36]

Somewhere between pre-production to quarter of the way

I don't think late 2015 anymore even for the japanese version.

Or they would have shown something at the e3.

[Totaltarian67 7]

Starting to think early 2016 for a release date so not very far

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

My vote: About a quarter done... but I seriously think it's farther in than some people say.

[liamaru 294]

maybe about 25% hopefully.

[VeNate13 144]

I hope and think that they are in the very early stages and it's no where near even a quarter done!

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

Optimistically: A quarter-way done.

Realistically: Not even close.

 

Nomura said that the game just, doesn't even begin to meet his standards yet and even if they did it would still take a while to actually make the game engine and stuff and go over the story making sure that also meets his standards and then making the game around the story and all of that good jazz and it just takes forever!

 

It's going to be a LONG wait for Kingdom Hearts 3 so be prepared.
