The game UI isn't the worlds or story or anything like that. They could have a lot of that already done. The UI is going to be the controls/HUD/pause menus AKA the way the user interacts with the game. I'm still expecting a 2016 release date, but I would guess they have a fairly substantial amount of work done.

User Interface Designer? Shouldn't that be finished BEFORE working on the major stuff like level building, modelling, etc.?

Times like this I wish I could be a viable candidate

So the game's been in the works for a few years now, and they still need a UI designer...? Holy crap, Square...

Yep....Osaka team like Nomura works on too many projects at once.

Hope this satisfies everyone's KH3 needs, cause this is probably the most into we will be getting the rest of this year.

Welp,looks like i know what is my ambition will be...

[xVentusx 51]

Doesn't Square work with the gameplay and story first and anything else last? Or did I read an article wrong?

Well, I'm guessing a lot of members here will be flocking for the UI designer position, of that much I'm sure.
