Nomura talks Kingdom Hearts III, new outfits for Sora & Riku, link with KHχ, KH3D being considered & more

[Zay 65]

Actually, it's more difficult given the fact, we've been stuck with the KH1 appearance for most titles and his KH2 appearance has only been in cutscenes. In all honesty, 3D would have been better off letting us use the KH2 appearances and there better be an option to use the KH2 appearance in 3 (for later use). I mean, if the turn out for 3's appearance isn't good for me, I'm not willing to move on from it, but I'll deal with it. I just need a little more love for the KH2 appearance.

 

I agree with this so much. It is really quite a shame how underappreciated Sora and Riku's KH2 outfits seem to be among the staff. For some reason the dev. team really likes Young Sora and Young Riku. Not saying I don't, I just feel like they used their younger appearances one too many times.

 

That being said, I am beyond stoked to see what the new duds will be for Sora and the other heroes in Kingdom Hearts III. I hope Lea gets a new outfit, particularly. Not that the black coat isn't cool, it just feels like it'd suit him better if he had the garb of a Keyblade wielder.

To be fair, they said that they don't currently have any plans about bringing Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] to the states (Ha! Managed to copy and paste "χ"! Now if only I could find a way to just type it...), but that doesn't mean that they won't plan on anything related to χ in the future. I'm kind of hoping for that possibility of it being remade into a PS4 online game based on the new cloud technology that Shinra is working on. It's no guarantee and Square hasn't suggested that yet, but in time we'll see what they do with χ.

 

Seriously, somebody tell me how to type "χ", I'm just copying and pasting it by this point.

I think you have to install a greek keyboard on your computer if you want that. You can just add it in the settings on windows though. Microsoft ime

Crystal Tools? Lol. So many issues with that engine. It's using FFXV's.

The game is taking so long, because they're trying to figure out how long to make Xemnas's eyelashes.

Great, with the development gong fast we might see KH3 at the end of 2015 or early 2016, or if things will go super smoothly, we might see it mid 2015.Thoug I think the firt option is likely going to happen.

I prefer only the eyes of Eraqus closed. That would make the perfect cover.

Um, hate to tell ya, but I seriously doubt it will come out that fast. 2017 is looking like the ideal optimistic release year if you ask me.

 

On another note:

Okay, so apparently KH Insider corrected their first translation regarding Dream Drop Distance, and it seems that they ARE considering what to do to have DDD make the HD transition, but currently they have no immediate plans. So it's sort of what we've been told at least 2 times already by now, but assurance that the only game left won't be left out is always a good thing for me. Now if only somebody could get a full translation of the article already!

''It's using FFXV's.''

Oh God, that alone proves KH3 is going to take forever to see the light of day.

I really like Sora's current outfit. I hope I will like the new ones.
