SpideyGaming 15 Posted September 20, 2015 Im disappointed. I expected it to be at least like 3 worlds long... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora96 17,256 Posted September 20, 2015 In an interview with Famitsu Weekly magazine, Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, has confirmed the reason behind Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is that Kingdom Hearts III is even further away than fans would hope. He also confirmed that the title is being made simultaneously with Kingdom Hearts III. This suggests that the development of Kingdom Hearts III, which has been in development since 2010, may be affected in some capacity. Nomura also confirmed Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage – will use Kingdom Hearts III's technology and will only last the duration of one Disney world. It is set straight after the secret movie in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix. They plan on using using gameplay elements from Kingdom Hearts III. The cinematic title in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover will also show off Kingdom Hearts III's technology according to Gematsu. When asked for a time frame regarding the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8, Nomura said they cannot announce a certain time frame due to it being developed with Kingdom Hearts III.

Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted September 20, 2015 Yeah, I kind of figured 2017 was the optimistic goal. At least now this settles it once and for all for everyone to see that we will NOT get Kingdom Hearts in 2016, and certainly not this year! 2017 might even be pushing it, who knows? Still, with Unchained X and 2.8 they'll be able to keep us fairly busy, and maybe there'll still be enough time in that gap to make an ultimate collection of 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8 for the PS4, if they feel like it. At least from the sounds of things, the wait for KH3 is exactly the reason why they're making 2.8, and it's not the other way around like I'm sure most cynics are going to say anyway. Hopefully the work on both 2.8 and 3 will go by smoothly and we'll have both sooner than we're afraid of. 2 Bewilde and worldstraveller reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sorarocks93 678 Posted September 20, 2015 Well, we don't know how big the world will be. Remember there won't be fade in and fade out screens anymore and it will be more open. 4 Exiblade7, -Justin-, Bewilde and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwynbleidd 551 Posted September 20, 2015 That's too bad. I did assume that the game would be really short, since the development of 0.2 would only hinder the development of Kingdom Hearts III. Either way, this just means I am more excited for Dream Drop Distance HD rather than BBSV2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Movies798 1,358 Posted September 20, 2015 So the technology in Birth by Sleep 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage will only last in one Disney world? Does that mean all of Aqua's experiences in the Realm of Darkness will only take place in one Disney world before she met Ansem the Wise? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Most people would see the bad in this, but I see the good in this. 1) We can finally understand how long a Disney world mission would be in Kingdom Hearts 3. With no loading sections and larger worlds, we can feel the length in Kingdom Hearts 3 context. 2) We can finally understand the true specialty of 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover. This is inevitably going to be the diamond in the rough out of everything in this. 3) If it is a 2017 release fro Kingdom Hearts 3, Zootopia and Moana are practically guaranteed for Kingdom Hearts 3.

Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) "Will only last the duration of one Disney world. It is set straight after the secret movie in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix." Castle of Dreams CONFIRMED! Seriously though, it taking place right after the Secret Episode pretty much removes any doubt, if there was any to begin with, that this is indeed BbSv2 because all signs point to both of those things taking place the year between the fall of Radiant Garden and the beginning of KH1. A massive pillar of Darkness bursting through to the Realm of Light, Mickey being in the Realm of Darkness with the Star Seeker and it all happening before Aqua meets DiZ. Ooh, what if it starts off with us fighting Dark Hide again? Like that's the very first this that happens after Mickey says to Sora and Riku "There's somethin' gotta tell ya. Somethin' that happened a long time ago..." or however it's going to start. Edited September 20, 2015 by Isamu_Kuno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davulch 17 Posted September 20, 2015 Since BBS 0.2 will be happening after BBS's secret ending, that just means another question: Will it start before or after Aqua's meeting with Ansem the Wise ten years after the game's ending? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This doesn't confirm Castle of Dreams at all. When Nomura was talking about length he was talking about time length. I believe that there will be fragments of worlds as opposed to one world being trapped in the Realm of Darkness. As far as the worlds go, there may be fragments of the forest of Dwarf Woodlands, the bridge of Enchanted Dominion and Castle of Castle of Dreams. Bits and piece of Birth by Sleep worlds that culminate to create a fusion of a world for 0.2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Castle of Dreams thing was a joke, hence why the next paragraph started with "Seriously though" -_-Since BBS 0.2 will be happening after BBS's secret ending, that just means another question: Will it start before or after Aqua's meeting with Ansem the Wise ten years after the game's ending?Before. The Secret Episode happens before that scene and 0.2 is immediately after that. Edited September 20, 2015 by Isamu_Kuno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie the Wise 5,050 Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) So we're getting one full game, a movie, and a demo all for the amazing price of 60 dollars. Way to deflate any excitement I had for this title.

KHLegendIII 709 Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I don't mind the length of BBS Volume Two, honestly, I'm glad we get to see KH3's engine in action before KH3, and I'm interested in the fact that DDDHD is a remake, I can't wait to play 2.8.

Mysterious Figure 353 Posted September 20, 2015 My question is what art style will they use for the KHX cinematics? Will they stick to the 'fairy tale' look of the original or will they go all out and use KH3 tech to make that too? 1 worldstraveller reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Nomura might mean the length of a KH3 Disney world...which to be honest would be pretty long! Also, if anyone feels a bit down about the length, they could always run around aimlessly killing Heartless!2. I know a few people who won't be watching Back Cover. *cough*DSP*cough*3. No comment.

Moochieh32 676 Posted September 20, 2015 While I am really disappointed about the announced length of this glorious game, the only questions I have now are: 1) Will Attraction Flow be one of the features you think, considering it's one of the mechanisms in KH3 that can possibly only be received by Yen Sid? and 2) Does this mean BBS0.2 won't have a Platinum trophy? ... so only KHDDD? 1 worldstraveller reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So there's that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exiblade7 1,917 Posted September 20, 2015 well that kinda sucks. I was really hoping that it would AT LEAST be as long as completing two worlds. If that was the case I wouldn't be really complaining. 1 Agucsoccer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingdomCooperFan 8 Posted September 20, 2015 Never before have I witnessed the development of a video game that takes this ridiculous amount of time. I really hope they make the game unbelievably huge since they'll have been working on it for 8-9 years when it finally gets released. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeybladeLordCheeseCurd 1,542 Posted September 20, 2015 Let's hope lolWell the secret episode is apparently 24 minutes long, and we don't know what world length Nomura's talking about aside from "the length of one world". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exiblade7 1,917 Posted September 20, 2015 we should take into consideration that a length of a world for kingdom hearts 3 MIGHT be different from the length of a world from previous kh games,so it may be slightly longer than we expect it to be.

Guest Posted September 20, 2015 3. No comment. Zootopia and Moana are both Disney Animation movies coming out in 2016. They could be clever and set both those worlds after the events of their respective movies. The assets for both movies have already been created since 2014 so transferring them to Kingdom Hearts 3 wouldn't be an issue whatsoever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
