The May 10, 2012 issue of Famitsu Weekly magazine has included an on article on Kingdom Hearts, containing an interview with the director of the series, Tetsuya Nomura. Here, Nomura discusses both Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] and a future, currently unannounced title in the Kingdom Hearts series. Thanks to Sokuho@Hokanko, who typed up a summary of the interview, and to sqexgal for translating the summary, you can read this below.
Since the Kingdom Hearts 3D-related part of the interview contains some spoilers for the game, we will not put it on the front page-- instead, click here if you don't mind spoilers.
Kingdom Hearts series & future
- “Regarding the title’s concepts, during Kingdom Hearts there hadn’t been anything past KH2 and Chain of Memories, then after that I thought of 358/2 Days, Coded, and Birth by Sleep. Thus conceiving the ideas for titles occurs through gradual stages.”
- “Since I decided to make KH3D rather suddenly, the story I presented was rushed since it was still being planned.”
- The fragmentary texts that appear in the secret movie are tied to the story of Kingdom Hearts, however there is no telling whether it will be explored hereafter. (He avoids saying whether or not it relates to the secret movie of Birth by Sleep Final Mix.)
- (Will the next title finally be KH3?) “I’ll leave that up to you.”
- (The next title…) “Maybe it’ll be something unexpected akin to a ‘fast ball’.”
- It’ll be something “lightweight”, but he is refraining to divulge the unannounced title.
