Dengeki Online and Famitsu both have interviews with Tetsuya Nomura that will be released in the respective magazines on June 25th in Japan. Esuteru was able to provide a few details from the interview, which Goldpanner has kindly translated, which you can read below.
From a Dengeki Playstation interview:
(About the battle gameplay of KH3)
Tetsuya Nomura: "The battle gameplay returns to commands such as 'attack' and 'magic' rather than deck commands. I thought that king of gameplay styles had the royal right to be used in a numbered Kingdom Hearts title."(About worlds)
"I can't speak in detail, but apart from Olympus Coliseum, nearly all the worlds are new."(About the scenario)
"Since KH3 was to settle the final confrontation with Xehanort the general framework was already decided, but it's not the end of the KH series."
"I'm worrying over how to bring KH3 to a close. I have already decided on my plans for the directions of the characters fans care about. I don't want to make something too short that only settles the main dispute."(Release date?)
"We've reached an agreement, but I still can't say anything. I plan to give new information at the Kingdom Hearts Fan Event that will be held on the 3rd of November."
From a Famitsu interview:(Sora etc moved so smoothly in the trailer)
"For this title we are implementing free running so Sora's mobility isn't ordinary (laughs). Most things can be overcome with jumping and free running, and you can charging up walls and such."(Development stage?)
"It's moving along steadily. I'm currently deciding what to do about the ending and secret movies and such."

I don't even know what to make of this.
When they say almost all worlds will be new i hope they're only talking about Disney worlds.

It's more than likely about just Disney Worlds. Original worlds from past entries will be coming back, that's a given.
It's best to treat all this as rumour. Don't believe those who say it's true until the 25th (25 hours from now) when more information should be available.

I think this was the original source?
It also says that Deck Commands are OUT and they're returning to the numbered title's battle system, if my poorly remembered high school Japanese is right.
Thank you for finding this. I'll have this sent to the translators immediately.

Re: Rumour: KHIII Release Date Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
in her own words she just said she lied and you believed it https://twitter.com/xenosaga7 scroll down and see for yourself I knew there was something wrong the moment she talked about the release date no way nomura had it would just say that
She said "lol what if I lied?" and with the original source being from this, something she was taking from, it now is most likely all true since everything she's tweeted was in there first, even the time frame for a KH3 release.
She tweeted "lol what if I lied?" as a joke, and not something that you were meant to take literally.

If that's true it paid off again to be sceptical, lol.
Even then though I'm still interested what that snippet of japanese text says.

Re: Rumour: KHIII Release Date Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
so is she lying or not we wont know until november 3 oh i did a google translator on the last part this is it said
(Release date is?)"Landing point has been decided, but do not speak yet. Plans to issue a new information in the Kingdom Hearts of fan events of November 3 held"

An incredibly rough translation confirms everything told to us previously, and since this was up on a site that's proven correct, I believe it.
| (For World)"For more information but do not speak, almost becomes the new world than the world of Olympus" |
Which means that almost all of the Disney worlds will be new. Worlds like Olympus are the exception.
| "Since the conclusion of the KH3 Xehanort stick outline is decided, but not KH series is finished." |
KH3 will conclude the Xehanort Saga, but the series will continue with more games.
(Release date is?) "Landing point has been decided, but do not speak yet. Plans to issue a new information in the Kingdom Hearts of fan events of November 3 held" |
A time frame for release has been decided, but they can not announce anything. More information will be at the Kingdom Hearts Fan Event at the D23 Japan Expo on November 3rd.
are you sure your not the one taking this literally ? its not going to pay off but oh well I told you so plus you forgot blogs are not very creditable
please stop.

This interview is apparently from Dengeki Online, which will be releasing tomorrow.

Re: Rumour: KHIII Release Date Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
Gamestalk made a summary of the interviews in Japanese, which Gematsu translated:
[LIST] [*]The battle system doesn’t use deck commands like Birth by Sleep, but rather classic commands like “Attack” and “Magic.”Free run is being implemented this time, so Sora’s mobility is a bit out of the ordinary. Beyond jumping and running, this likely consists of things like wall running and jumping, etc. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]With the exception of Olympus, most of the worlds in the game are brand new. The Tangled world was revealed at E3. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Xehanort’s story will come to an end in Kingdom Hearts III, but the Kingdom Hearts series is not finished. (Rather, Kingdom Hearts III brings to an end the “Dark Seeker” chapter of the series.) A plan has already been decided regarding the whereabouts of some of the characters fans might be concerned about. Nomura says he wouldn’t want to do something so disappointing as just settling things. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]A landing point for the release window has been decided, but they can’t say anything yet. The latest news is promised for the D23 Expo Japan Kingdom Hearts fan event on November 3. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Development is on track. Things like secret movies are also under consideration. [/LIST] |
Re: Rumour: KHIII Release Date Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
what do you think ? I think she is BS I mean we had fake news in the pest remember the Kh leaked footage about winter 2016
how do oyu know if she bs or not do you have prove that she made everything up
Re: Gematsu: KHIII Release Time Frame Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
Please stop. Xenosaga did not lie, she was translating various details from the interview which have now been expanded upon thanks to Gematsu. Any further discussion about "did she lie, did she not lie" will be deleted.
Re: Gematsu: KHIII Release Time Frame Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
i think that 2017 is the best opition for them right now maybe laate 2017 but you may never know and realse late 216 next year
Re: Rumour: KHIII Release Date Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
Now that sounds more realistic. It sounds more like they have a rough estimate to the release window, as in say i.e. spring 2017 or something rather than an actual date.
Most of the worlds except Olympus will be new, which is also far from "all" and surely applies solely to Disney worlds.
If I remember correctly KH 2 also only had 3 fully playable returning worlds (as in Olympus, Agrabah and Halloween Town), Atlantica didn't fully return in KH 2 because it was a mini-game world as is 100-Acre Wood while Disney Castle doesn't count since it wasn't playable in KH 1.
Land of Dragons, Beast's Castle, Port Royal, Space Paranoids and Pride Lands were all new at the time.
Re: Gematsu: KHIII Release Time Frame Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
Really happy about having mostly new worlds. Regarding Nomura knowing the release date, I wonder if he means "the expected release date", not necessarily the "solid release date".

Companies have multiple deadlines when working on projects. Things in KH3 have their own deadline. The deadline for the full game has been decided, but yet to be seen if they will reach it or if they will need to delay it.
Re: Gematsu: KHIII Release Time Frame Set, Almost All Worlds New, Secret Movie included
Great. KH3 will be another open ended game. The story will never get resolved xD
So until this point here's a list of worlds we are going to visit:
Announced in the trailer:
1. Tangled
2. Olympus (Where we finally become REAL HEROES! One of my biggest hopes for KH3 besides the whole main story)
3. Twilight Town + Yen Sids Tower (Maybe something to do with Namine)
Kind of announced due to plot needs:
4. Keyblade Graveyard (Where the final clash will happen)
5. Land of Departure/Castle Oblivion (Ventus Body sleeps there)
6. Destiny Island (We see Sora on Destiny Islands taking Master Eraqus' Keyblade)
7. And maybe The Realm of Darkness (Aqua is still in there)
So we already have nearly 7 Worlds we are going to visit. If there are way more new Worlds than old ones, then hell yeah KH3 is gonna have a LOT of playtime. I am hoping for at least 50hours with cutscenes for the normal game. There is so many questions and if Nomura is going to answer them all, we will need a lot of time.
Huh. I was really looking forward to the Deck Command Combat Gameplay since he really developed it throughout the non-numbered games. I'm not sure if it's really a bad thing. It's just... anti-climatic.
6. Destiny Island (We see Sora on Destiny Islands taking Master Eraqus' Keyblade)
You can replace that one with Radiant Garden most likely as the FF cameos are slated to return.
The scene of Sora picking up Master Eraqus' Keyblade was only conceptual/symbolic and is not something that will actually happen in-game.
Destiny Islands can also be in the game without actually being playable as right now there aren't really any plot reasons to visit it properly.

Well actually there is a reason to visit Destiny Island. It is known to have a strong connection to the Realm of Darkness where Aqua is. Sora and Riku once escaped there towards Destiny Island. Since Aqua transformed The Land of Departure to Castle Oblivion with Master Eraqus Keybladeand since where Ventus sleeps body sleeps there, we might actually need his Keyblade to unlock the Land of Departure again and save Ventus.
Just my opinion on that, but you're right that it doesn't need to be this way.
I really hope we'll see the return of Agrabah with the third Aladdin movie, I couldn't care less about Olympus Coliseum though.

Just my opinion on that, but you're right that it doesn't need to be this way.
The Door to Light always opens towards the world the person that opens it calls home. That's why the Door to Light at the end of KH 2 lead to Destiny Islands, because it is Sora's and Riku's home.
When Ventus opened a Door to Light in BBS it lead to Land of Departure, which he considers his home.
Eraqus's Keyblade alone is pointless as you cannot unlock Land of Departure without its Keyhole and that Keyhole is located in the Chamber of Waking where Ven sleeps.
Only Aqua can find that room though and she is also the one who holds Eraqus' Keyblade at present time.

[FONT=helvetica]well, I'll be damned, it wasn't just a bluff, that wasn't a confirmation of exact release date though, sounded more like a release window like "2016" and that's it. That's still earlier then I expected to be honest, hope that's not a sacrifice in quality and content.[/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica]There still seam to be a few more worlds reappearing so here's hoping for Tron, PotC and Disney World

Finally! About damn time. This is honestly the best news I've seen since E3 when it comes to KH3.
i dont think tron is in because there new movie out or even going to be out and i dont think he going to start going to tv series yet.

Oh, wow! Finally someone who doesn't want the Command Deck in KH 3, too!

And here I thought I was the only one! This thread is all kinds of goodness so far~
Well at least we might get a release date on November 3rd
Well at least we might get a release date on November 3rd
it might a realase year though
I forgot to mention Winnie the Pooh bear, I really hope we get to see that world again even if it's for the last time.
Every main game in the Xehanort trilogy deserve at least some Pooh to look at.
People are talking about DI as well even if that's a origin world but I also truly hope that's playable again, hopefully one of the last battles will take place there, I love when stories start like the end like the first KH, the first R&C or the Harry Potter series (if only for that magical soundtrack lol).
That comment about some things being open ended at the end make me even more certain about exactly what's going to happen in the end.
The DTD open and "the True Light return" and all the worlds become restored and reconnected.
Then in KH IV it's all one world again but it must be held together by man made rules and laws so we'll get an enemy hiding behind the Light.
PS. the ending is also gonna be just like the ending to P3 because it have to be, it's always like that.
i dont think tron is in because there new movie out or even going to be out and i dont think he going to start going to tv series yet.
I still hope it's there and they have their original story, they teased it so much in 3D and if they can't work with the new movie and don't want to make the story completely original (which wouldn't be to far fetched, see Beast and Xaldin for example) then the tv show was one of the best god damn shows I've ever seen, could have become number one if it wasn't canceled.
Considering it was I don't expect them to use it but I can still dream :)
I'm guessing they'll give a window of the year 2017. FFXV will probably have a pretty specific release date this August.
Goldpanner's translations match up a lot better with all the information we got during E3.
It's pretty amazing just how much progress they've made since the last time KH3 appeared publicly. If they can make such dramatic changes, I'm more than happy to wait through all of those news droughts (though I'd rather not lol).
| I have already decided on my plans for the directions of the characters fans care about. I don't want to make something too short that only settles the main dispute." |
This one especially caught my eye. It nutures hope that major characters besides Sora, Riku and Axel/Lea won't be treated like just an afterthought/cameo as it was done in KH 2/DDD. ^__^

Forgot about Pooh's book. With it saying most of the (I presume Disney) worlds will be new, that probably isn't including mini-game worlds so it's a good chance Pooh bear's in.
While ending at the beginning was already done in the first game I want to see this too. It wouldn't feel right to have our hero and villain being both from that world and not using it for at least one battle.
And I didn't even remember that Xehanort also started out on DI when I typed that, now they have to include that.
I don't care what kind of stupid excuse they have to throw in, teleport the heroes from the graveyard for some reason or make Xehanort and Sora return there after the final battle because they get thrown in to the RoD and return to their homeworld after it but Xehanort is not ready to give up yet so Sora have to fight him with both of them being pushed to the brink or whatever, just get me that DI battle lol
Ooh, more info? :3 Everything happens while I'm away lol.
I'm glad that there will be a lot of new worlds, entries like Re:coded used the same ones and it kinda got stale after a while haha.
Also, secret ending? Maybe it's just a sneak peak at what the next saga holds?
This seems crazy. Am I the only one who has the feeling that KH3 was announced quite recently and it's not normal for it to come out in about a year (cause this is what is gonna happen apparently)? :P Kudos to them if they make it.

Well, Kingdom Hearts 2 didn't take very long to make if I remember correctly. Though in my opinion this one already looks even better than 2.

We got a new minigame world in BBS. Disney Town. The same thing could happen again for KH3

They've been working on it since 2013, and ported everything over into UE4 last year, so development has been going on for at least 2 years now.
Next year it will be 3. I don't know how soon or late you want the game but we are nearing some sort of end point in the near future.
They've been working on it since 2013, and ported everything over into UE4 last year, so development has been going on for at least 2 years now.
Which is the thing that most KH Players forget. Unfortunately. :(
I'm so sad about the command deck not being in KH3 though it was kind of obvious from the trailers that it wasn't going to be in the game. They have to add some sort of new feature to the Command system, though. They could do some pretty cool stuff with the PS4's touchpad but I don't know if they would add such an important feature only for the PS4 and not XBO. I feel like it's pretty early for a release window to be given.
I just don't want things to be rushed since so much detail has to be put into the game. Plus, it might be pushed back since they still have some work to do and complications are likely to arise. I don't think they'll give us an exact release date but rather a year. I hope it's late 2016 or early 2017.
That's not so much, BBS was teased 2006 wasn't it? My memory isn't the best but I think it was so that PSP game took about 5 years to make unless they were occupied with other stuff.
Now that was a new team sure but this is a new console, it should take at least 4 years to make the game or at least it would seam like it to me.
One World I want to see in KH3 is Wreckt-it Ralph! I see this world working out pretty nicely. Also there could be a mini-game thats is a little bit like Mario Kart as a Easter-Egg. Great movie tho!
For the most part, I'm glad about the mostly new worlds thing. Still hoping that the King of Thieves will appear, though, so as to end that particular arc.
Also, as excited as I am for whatever that secret ending holds, I really hope that everyone before that gets wrapped up in a nice fashion. That way if people want to finally quit the series, they can just ignore the secret ending and go about leaving it peacefully that way.
It's also nice to hear Nomura say that he doesn't just want to wrap up the main conflict for our beloved characters, which makes me think there will be some nice epilogue that shows where they all mostly end up? I really need that, tbh, and I think we all want it, too. And I really DON'T want it to be like LR, where it only focused on Lightning's happiness and we didn't know much of anything else, so major kudos to Nomura for thinking differently than that, I think.

Thats right, but as far as I got it, Square is working together with the original Producers and Animations from the Movies used, since many of them seem to be newer movies and they are still alive and working for Disney. I think with that support of Disney Animation Studios they can save a lot of time and concentrate more on the actual gameplay things.

It's the same team. ^.^
Besides, the thing with BBS is, that they were first going to do it for the PS 2.
I don't know if that had any influence to the development of the game though.

I didn't think about that, I hope you're right :)

It took ~ 3 years if the info on the wiki is correct (which it should be).
Which is the thing that most KH Players forget. Unfortunately. :(
Another thing KH players seem to forget - the PS4 is no 3DS or PSP.
That's very short amount of time for this generation. PS2 development times were much shorter, same goes for budgets and teams.
So 2-3 years for one of the most anticipated AAA-games of this generation, from Square Enix, something is off..
They've been working on it since 2013, and ported everything over into UE4 last year, so development has been going on for at least 2 years now.
Next year it will be 3. I don't know how soon or late you want the game but we are nearing some sort of end point in the near future.
IF they manage it and the game is good and not rushed, colour me impressed. For the time being, I am both excited and worried for the final outcome.

KH 2 - 3 years
FF XII - 5,5 years
BB - 4,5 years
I didn't think about that, I hope you're right :)
I hope so, too! >.<
Winter 2016 would be an adorable release date, I just can't wait any longer :D
With all the theories coming along with the series, all these mysteries, I just want to know all that :D
It could be pretty far along if they're already talking about secret movies.
Secret movies...that almost always means sequels (or prequels.)
By the way, weren't we told we'd get a new KH game every year? With no DDD HD announcement, I'm wondering if we will still get one before 2015 is over?
I really like the fact that nearly all the worlds will be new. I'm really tired of looking at Wonderland and Atlantica..
By the way, weren't we told we'd get a new KH game every year? With no DDD HD announcement, I'm wondering if we will still get one before 2015 is over?
Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure KH Unchained will be this year's title.

it kh unchained this year i doubt we get ddd at this point right now they might annouce it for next year but we dont know though
Really? I'm getting tired of Agrabah and OC.
Unchained probably is this year's release unless Nomura whips out a surprise 3D HD announcement.

Yes, but the game seemed to have been overhauled at some point. Remember that it had been planned to be a PS2 title then moved to PSP. Also we have seen that the story was changed at some point while it was being made for the PSP, so it had a bit of a troubled development. KH3 doesn't seem to have any of those issues besides what we know about the UE4 problems when switching over, which they got over very fast if the footage we saw last week is any indication.
Really? I'm getting tired of Agrabah and OC.
Unchained probably is this year's release unless Nomura whips out a surprise 3D HD announcement.
We won't be in Agrabah for most of it if that is one of the returning worlds since the 3rd movie takes place pretty much everywhere but Agrabah or a sandy desert.

Huh. I didn't even know that there was a second, let alone third, movie. I'm glad it's not in the same setting.
Oh, wow! Finally someone who doesn't want the Command Deck in KH 3, too!
Make that 3. I like having all my magic spells at my disposal at the same time.

At least we're not alone! :D
I'm hoping it's a solid mix of both new and returning Disney worlds. We got Olympus and I consider Agrabah almost a lock to return but I'd definitely like to see more than just those 2 since there are other potential returning worlds that I'd love to see come back. Port Royal, Deep Space(Hawaii), Beast's Castle.
I'd like to see Halloween Town back for old times sake and I wouldn't really know what they would do with that for a 3rd time. I mean, with Agrabah, you have three movies and an entire series to pull from.
Also, i want to Pride Lands to come back.

YES! I loved Halloween Town; I'd be so happy to see it come back though I have no idea what they would do for the world's plot. Pride Lands wasn't my favorite. It seemed like a filler world for the most part.
I think Pirates of the Caribbean is the only world I really want to make a return. I'm fine with no Agrabah, Atlantica, or Wonderland, though I'm a little disappointed we probably won't be seeing a new Tron world.
Huzzah for normal battle system! I don't dislike the Command Deck. Just not for numbered titles.
I've got a feeling that we'll see our Ultimate HD Remix at D23 LA/TGS and a new story trailer with release window for KH3 at D23 Japan in November.
Thinking about it little bit more, when they say almost entirely new worlds maybe they could mean old worlds getting huge expansions. I mean, they said there'd be all new Disney worlds in 3D and yet there was still another Pinocchio world. If worlds like Agrabah, Port Royal or Deep Space came back then almost all of the world would be completely new since the sequels take place almost anywhere but the places we've seen in the games.
Did anyone honestly think the command deck was coming back in KH3? It was pretty obvious by the first teaser trailer that we were going back to the command menu. Sure it was just a static placeholder back then, but the fact that it's there at all means they were already heading in that direction.
I'm very happy to hear that most world are going to be new. We have like 5 games where we go to the same dang worlds. I'm tired of all of them, including Olympus Coliseum.
Count me among those who are stoked that the Command Menu is back, instead of the deck stuff. I loved the Deck in BBS, but the combat in KH 1 and 2 was easily my favorite fighting style in the series and I'm very glad they're going that route with KH3.
I also hope we get more than just Unchained X this year. Given how DDD is just one game, as opposed to having to remaster two games and create a film out of cutscenes, it shouldn't take as long to produce, so there's still hope that DDD HD could release sometime this year. If not, I'd say it's likely that we'll get the entire series, DDD included, on PS4 next year followed by KH3 in early 2017.
Nomura's comments about the story stuff both worry and excite me. On one hand, it means they're figuring everything out, both with the characters and secret ending and such. But from the looks of it, it doesn't sound like KH3 is going to be a "tie every loose end" kind of game like most of us would like it to be. I know this isn't the last game in the series, but I certainly don't want this to turn into "Xehanort's dead, we'll figure out the other plot points in the next game". No, dude. This series is being crushed under the weight of its lore mysteries. Don't bring all that into the next saga. We need a clean slate for the next title after KH3. Tie everything up now, in this game.
Also, now D23 seems even farther away now that I know there's juicy info waiting to be revealed. New footage, new info, release window, etc. Man, why couldn't D23 be in October like it was in 2013? November is so far away X(
I have some worlds i would like to see come back as well (Symphony of Sorcerey, Deep Space) but I hope they lean more towards newer worlds than older ones.
So much dislike for Olympus coliseum.What,none of you are excited about finally getting a fully fledged Hercules world?It's pretty much like a new world anyway.

I am excited. I have wanted to see the Gods of Olympus in Kh for a long time. I am stoked that it will finally happen

We also have the North American D23 in august and TGS in September. Plenty of room for news! :D

I always thought the Hercules worlds were so small and boxed in. Then again, every world in KH has been like that, since they've all been created on limited hardware and have to make the worlds fit into a single game. But Hercules in particular either just had the Coliseum, or there's an additional room(s) if you exit through the back door. We've never gotten to explore the world itself. I mean, c'mon, Town Near Thames in BBS was hilarious. "Oh look, there's the town but it's actually just a single little boxed in area that has nothing in it except some Unversed to fight.
But finally, we may actually get full-fledged worlds that feel like they came straight from their source material as opposed to little bits and clips pieced together to form a chain of rooms that has the theme of a certain Disney world. That's a big reason I'm glad those black loading screens are gone now, because it was always so irritating to see something off in the distance, run towards it, hit a loading screen, and then the thing you ran towards gets completely skipped over by the loading screen.
We also have the North American D23 in august and TGS in September. Plenty of room for news! :D
Oh yeah, TGS. Always forget about that.
Sorry, but I have to gloat a little here; my theory was correct! I knew since they'd completed most film plots & sequels plots for the "2nd golden age of disney films" that this would necessitate they get mostly new worlds for KH3. And I was right! Sad we won't see Port Royal with Davy Jones, but if it means I have a chance of seeing Baloo or Wreck-t Ralph or Merida, then I'm good to go!

I'm referring to potential news announcements when it comes to the other events, not just Nomura appearances. He doesn't have to be somewhere for something to happen. Just playing optimistic when it comes to this. =p Plus it wouldn't be the first time he made a last minute special appearance somewhere.
And with Unchained x and the potential (almost obvious) DDD remaster coming, KH has a good chance of showing up somewhere before November.

I'm also surprised by everyone being surprised about that, they even confirmed it in old interviews, sure they didn't say it would be almost identical to KH II but they said it would be more like that and that the command deck was gone, nothing new there.
So much dislike for Olympus coliseum.What,none of you are excited about finally getting a fully fledged Hercules world?It's pretty much like a new world anyway.
I haven't seen anyone complain on that yet but I'm super excited, I've missed the Arena and now it's probably more similar to the KH I arena again but with all the point systems from KH II so we get the best of both worlds and yes, I've wanted Olympus from day one as well but I just can't imagine a main KH game without the Coliseum. I'll truly miss that if they take it out from KH IV.
edit - I saw one comment below your post though
And with Unchained x and the potential (almost obvious) DDD remaster coming, KH has a good chance of showing up somewhere before November.
I hope so. I am very excited for Unchained X, but it's not going to satisfy my Kingdom Hearts fix since it's radically different from the other KH games.
I always think it's weird when people say if KH3 comes out X year, they're worried it'll be "rushed." We have no insight into the development, so there's no reason to believe KH3 would be rushed if it were to come out earlier than 2017. And them sitting on it longer is no guarantee it would be better anyway. Besides, we all know there's going to be a Final Mix. $$$
I'm just hoping the new worlds won't be all live-action movies and Pixar. Those aren't "Disney" to me, tbh, even if the company happens to own everything these days.

Me too. I really really hope that we'll still get a good bunch of good old Disney worlds (Pocahontas, PLEASE POCAHONTAS). I don't have any issues with Pixar, but i hope they'll leave the live-action worlds out of this. They just always look so off to me.
Looks like this November event is going to be revealing quite a lot.
So much dislike for Olympus coliseum.What,none of you are excited about finally getting a fully fledged Hercules world?It's pretty much like a new world anyway.
It's not that I dislike it, it's just been on almost every game and I'm tired of it (plus OC has only been a good world in KH1 & 2). I feel the same way about most of the worlds from KH1. I am glad it's going to be as big as the rest of the worlds like in KH2.

Somehow I have the feeling that we will most likely get a release date or year there.
At least I hope that we will get a Trailer, that reveals much more of the story, maybe a new one of the 13 darknesses, something really important would be cool.

It stopped being interesting after KH1. Although there was a lot more to explore than in KH1, the cups became so pointless in KH2 when you couldn't get EXP out of it. Plus the cups are getting boring as well, they need to figure out a way to make it different from the rest.
Let's not forget how stupid it was in BBS. The only interesting thing in all of OC in that game was Zack, when he wasn't speaking and sounding like a toothpaste commercial..
I am actually not happy about the "mostly new worlds" thing.. I love going back to visit worlds and running into those characters again! I would have all the previous worlds return in this game if I could. I want to go back to Tron, Agrabah, Atlantica, 100 acre woods, port royal, pride lands, especially land of dragons, and all of them darn it! Hopefully we atleast get more than 2 returning disney worlds then at this point.

I only liked it in KH2 because you could go to the Underworld, I liked the cups but the lack of EXP gain kept me from going back to them. I hope it goes back to how it was in KH1 on top of being as big as the rest of the worlds.
Mirage Arena made OC completely pointless in BBS, and that area near the town was hilariously bad.

In BbS defense, it had the Mirage Arena which works better as a true replacement for the cups.
Sad to say Mount Olympus is probably the only part of the world we can go to. I really wanted to go to the underworld again though.

I could do without the Underworld but I'm praying to Zeus that we can actually go to Thebes this time.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get Unchained X's release there as well, or if they even do the Japanese launch live at the event (it would be a good excuse to release promo codes).
Had my heart racing with that title thinking this was a leak of some sort, but still, good info.
Good to hear nearly all the worlds are new. While it would be cool to have a world like Deep Jungle realized with the new graphics-engine/no loading times, is there even a reason to visit any of these old Disney worlds?
Seeing as how Nomura has stated that most Disney based worlds will be new, here's how I see the chances of each potential returning world
Obviously, Olympus Coliseum is already confirmed. Agrabah is almost a lock to return, same with Port Royal. Pride Lands for me is a 50/50, as although they can definitely do a lot story-wise with the sequel, it doesn't offer a lot of new areas other than the Outlands. As much as I would love for Halloween Town to return, I think that world has run it's course (although I think Jack Skellington will return in some way, perhaps as a summon).
Wonderland, Castle of Dreams, Dwarf Woodlands, Enchanted Dominion, and Beast's Castle might come back if they decide to go back to all the PoH worlds, but I find it highly unlikely given Nomura's statements. Space Paranoids might come back for story reasons, but I also highly doubt it. I would love to see La Cite Des Cloches to come back, if only so we could see that world get a proper KH treatment, but again, given Nomura's statements, I don't see it happening. I think it's very likely that we'll see a new Lilo and Stitch world, though I don't think Deep Space itself will return. Deep Jungle, Monstro, Prankster's Paradise, Neverland, Atlantica, Land of Dragons, The Grid, Country of the Musketeers, and Symphony of Sorcery have no chance of returning, as there's really nothing else that can be done with those worlds.
As for Mini-game worlds, 100 Acre Wood is probably back, as there's still a lot they can do with some of the newer material (namely Pooh's Heffalump movie and the 2011 film).
I wouldn't be surprised if we get Unchained X's release there as well, or if they even do the Japanese launch live at the event (it would be a good excuse to release promo codes).
We could get unchained key before November reaches

[/SPOILER]
Secret movie confirmed... not surprised! But it looks like a release date could be announced on November 3rd. I am so excited!
Just rewatched Hercules the film, and its environments are criminally underused in the Kingdom Hearts games we've gotten so far. The first game had what -- two or three areas max?
There's also untapped boss fight potential. I expect an entire reenactment of the Titans' siege of Mount Olympus in KHIII, with Lava, Rock, Ice and Wind Titan. Oh, also a battle with the Cyclops in Thebes.
Plus, we haven't encountered any of the gods besides Hades.
inside out needs be world i hope it not to late to be added in
wait if all the worlds are new what worlds will use the realistic shader :confused: nomura said that right :confused:
Why would you tell us the release window has been decided and not tell us the release window
Secret ending of KH3 (SPOILERS):
Sora, Donald and Goofy are relaxing on beach chairs, having killed Xehanort finally. Kairi is serving them drinks, and is carrying two large watermelons in front of her chest. It's a funny joke. Riku teleports in with the power of darkness and says "Eekum Bokum! Did you guys remember to collect the ice Keyblade? You'll need it to unlock some new sick levels in Kingdom Hearts Fourie!" and Sora laughs, as Riku is a real funny dude. The end.
This one especially caught my eye. It nutures hope that major characters besides Sora, Riku and Axel/Lea won't be treated like just an afterthought/cameo as it was done in KH 2/DDD. ^__^
I feel the exact same way, this got me really excited and glad knowing other characters will be focused on.
inside out needs be world i hope it not to late to be added in
How would you propose the world of Inside Out be used?

The worlds that have a more realistic art style will use a realistic shader. It's not rocket science.

Maybe two Paopu fruits would be a good idea lol.
There's still going to be a few months stretch left from now to November. So whatever they're doing; its actually going really well. I'm glad there's going to be a secret movie but we all truly know that real ending will belong on the KH3 Final Mix game which I'm not even sure if that will be released quickly overseas.
Most of the worlds are new. I see Pirates, Winnie, Agrabah, and Beast Castle returning.

Nomura didn't say all the worlds will be new, just most of them.
I'd rather not suffer Port Royal again and the bad Keira Knightley/Orlando Bloom/Johnny Depp imitations that came with it.

I didn't think they did a bad job. Not great, but still servicable. I wouldn't mind hearing them again in KH3. We've certainly had worse voice actors in the series
Technically, a return to the world of Tron would be new - be it Space Paranoids or the true copy (aka The Grid). If they could take a world based on one film and still shove it into four different KH games and still make it feel slightly fresh, I have faith (I'm talking about Nightmare btws). There's no other Tron story left to tell (other than Uprising, but even that could still be new). And, since they are working with the creators of the modern films, maybe Tron 3 could live on in KH3 in some form.
But before I turn this into a "Tron should live on" post, let's switch gears.
I already knew Cmmand Deck was gone but this still hurt (especially since Nomura calls the Command Menu the 'king' of the series. Like lol what we both know you were forced to go away from Command Deck). The fact they have a release decided confirms (for me) that the game will be out by next year.
As for when the game started development, I thought it began in 2012, not 2013? But maybe I'm misremembering.
Glad to hear all my faves will get some spotlight, as they damn well deserve. I just hope that all the Xehanort and connected to Xehanort plotlines wrap up and we can start the next Saga (mostly) fresh. I'm okay with certain character's being super affected by all the stuff they've been through and having to go on a solo journey after this to rebuild themselves (i.e. Wolverine in The Wolverine) but that's the only kind of "repercussions" I want from the end of the Xehanort Saga. Everything else should be resolved and end here.
As for Port Royal, as someone who actually loves the trilogy, I actually still liked the games actor's they got. It wasn't the same, sure, but it was pretty easy to forget they weren't, too.

I didn't have a problem with the Pride Lands and Port Royal VAs, but Jasmine's voice acting is without a doubt the worst in the game, even if it was the original VA.
Hercules in the Recoded movie was really bad too.

It was just that Sora, Donald, Goofy line from Jasmine that sounded really off.
Thought Herc sounded off in Coded as well but that's probably cause it was bout 10 years since the guy did the voice for him in KH2.

OMG I didn't realize that was Jasmine's original voice actress!! Thats pretty shocking.
As for the Pride Lands, Timon sounds really messed up. Everyone else sounds fine.
On second thought POTC isn't that bad. I could just tell that Jack Sparrow wasn't played by Johnny Depp and that made me sad.

Did she sound the same overall in the movie? I only owned the spanish version of the original movie so I wouldn't know.
Herc's VA did a good job in the movie and other KH games but his voice always sounded kinda off, it sounds so nasally.

What was Jasmine's VA thinking...

Fun fact. The original voice of Jasmine had to have the pitch of her voice lowered in the first Aladdin's post production for it to sound the way it did. Without the lowered pitch, you get what ya got in KH2.
see @ 2:30. It's just that Sora, Donald, Goofy line that sounded bad.
[video=youtube;ZpRVlhxz744]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpRVlhxz744[/video]
God, even watching it now it still makes me cringe, she just sounds bad overall IMO. Her Latin American voice is so much better (although I haven't heard her in long time).
Thankfully, Jack Sparrow is now voiced by Jared Butler in most PoTC media, and he can match Johnny Depp way better than James Arnold Taylor can. Butler would probably voice Jack in KHIII (if Port Royal comes back).

Well, Jasmine's voice in KH sounds like a really bad impersonation of how the original Jasmine sounded.
Timon sounded a little awkward to me. That's how I figured out that it wasn't Nathan Lane.
Jack Sparrow was difficult to tell because James Arnold Taylor gets Johnny Depp's tone right. Theres something off about the voice acting but I can't really tell what it is exactly. Honestly, he was so close to sounding exactly like Johnny Depp.
Fun fact. The original voice of Jasmine had to have the pitch of her voice lowered in the first Aladdin's post production for it to sound the way it did. Without the lowered pitch, you get what ya got in KH2.
That explains everything. Why didn't they lower her pitch in KH?
Edit: Apparently she almost got fired as the voice of jasmine because a lot of people didn't think she sounded right.
You guys, the voice direction of that entire game was bad. Probably the most noticeable in Pride Lands though. The "You are alive!" line comes to mind. Don't blame the voice actors on this one. Something was wack with the voice direction in KH2 and I don't know why.

James Taylor's voice was too high, if he could've pulled off a deep voice it would've been perfect. I should look up this Jared Butler to see how good he is.
I doubt Square even knew about Jasmine's voice pitch being lowered. Where'd you find that bit about her almost getting fired?

that not what I am asking tron is not coming back as well as pirates of the caribbean so what other movies are live action that came out recently :confused: that will use the shader
The Kingdom Shader will be used on Disney worlds to try and replicate that Disney look. The Realistic shader would be used on non-Disney worlds, such as Twilight Town and Radiant Garden.
Basically, it just means that lighting and texture will be different from world to world. Nothing else. There will be no physical change to Sora, Donald, or Goofy made by the shader.
I'm amazed about the Voice Actor things. I don't even remember how bad Jasmine's voice was. Maybe 'childhood' blocked it out after all.
To be honest, to me, bad Voice Actors don't worry me too much but that's because my hearing is a little 'off' anyway (I tend to assume any VA issues are related to me not concentrating on the voices) so I tend to just focus on the music instead and read the subtitles.
In KH there are always 13 or 7 worlds.
I hope for this time we get 20 worlds
Kh2 had 16 playable worlds,it's not hard to believe kh3 will have more.
Ooh, very interesting. Nomuras comment about the characters raise hope that all the trios(and people outside the trios like Namine) get enough screen time, and get to do amazing stuff.
And of course I have to insert the chamber talk Xemans had. Nomuraa! I need to know! :(
So the full article will be released tomorrow?
I think James Arnold Taylor did a good job as Jack Sparrow. I could tell the difference at some points, but it was still a LOT better than whoever voiced Elizabeth. I still get shivers from her "OHOY MATIES!"-scene when they are boarding the ship.
And yeah, Jasmine was bad.. "Soraaaa Donaaaaald Goofyyyyyy" oh i can just touch her excitement of seeing those three again. It's like she was thinking "Oh diddly not you again.... Must. Get. The. Happy. Face. On"
And as for the topic, i cannot WAIT for the release date. And more info. And this game to FINALLY come out, please be out on 2016, i can't wait any longer!
If Kingdom Hearts III really does come out next year, it'd be cool if they released it on December 22, as that was the day that Kingdom Hearts II released in Japan. It'd be 11 years to the day if they did, and that would also be December 2016, which would match that calendar behind Eraqus that so many believe to be a hint (but I personally think it's just a calendar without any deeper meaning).
Is there any chance of the North American and European version of KH3 coming out close to the Japan release? It would be brilliant if that was possible... Though I'm still expecting quite a few months between them but wouldn't it be great if it was only like a month apart?
Kh2 had 16 playable worlds,it's not hard to believe kh3 will have more.
Yep let's go for 20+ or heck 25. PS4 can handle it. They already said this game will have more worlds than KH2, looking hopefully at 20+
I kind of wonder if that means we're looking at a bare minimum of worlds returning and if we're looking at that, then I can expect only 3-5 returning Disney worlds and the rest new.
Which I am fine with, this does mean that they will be drawing more likely from Disney properties from all 3 eras and maybe perchance even Marvel and Star Wars. There's no way we're not getting something KH related from those two universes in KH III.
I hope we have 20+ worlds but as the saying goes, quantity isn't quality. I'm sure that the worlds will be planned out well, I just hope they don't make that cheap move of extending play time by making you revisit every single world. Oh and nothing like KH2 Atlantica. Ever.
You guys, the voice direction of that entire game was bad. [I][U][B][U][I][B]Probably the most noticeable in Pride Lands though. The "You are alive!" line comes to mind.[/B][/U][/I][/I][/U][/B] Don't blame the voice actors on this one. Something was wack with the voice direction in KH2 and I don't know why.
Yup, I can agree on that part, the line was just........
Haha, gotta love that we've got a release date for the release date (perhaps) :p
It's difficult to speculate what stage of development the game is in at the moment though. There's huge evidence showing it's further than everyone has thought, but vice versa there's also lots of evidence suggesting it's still got a ways to go.
Nomura himself said the game was "relatively advanced", all the worlds have been selected and now he's talking about a decided release date and secret movies.
Then again, no characters other than Sora, Donald, Goofy, Young Xehanort and Young Eraqus were shown in the trailer. Only one area of the Tangled world was in it too. Also, I believe I saw a comment of Nomura saying something like "I'm trying to decide what happens to the characters people care about", I would think that's something done very early in development??? Also we haven't seen a completed UI...
Ah, I'm not very knowledgeable with game development so I could be getting it all wrong haha, but I really hope we're surprised again in November! I wonder if/when that new world will be revealed...
Fun fact. The original voice of Jasmine had to have the pitch of her voice lowered in the first Aladdin's post production for it to sound the way it did. Without the lowered pitch, you get what ya got in KH2.
see @ 2:30. It's just that Sora, Donald, Goofy line that sounded bad.

"[...] Goofyyyy... want a doobie?"
That was awful. I didn't know that it had been discussed previously.

It may get a little easier to understand if you scratch the whole specific release date assumption and replace it with release window.
A release window can have a very broad scope as in i.e. only a year (2017 etc.) and is much more sufficient to assume than a specific date when considering what we saw so far of KH III.
Many people seem to just jump to conclusions again that we will get a specific release date with day and month this november while that does not have to be the case at all.
Nomura or Yasue can also just go on stage in november and deliver a statement that going by the current progress of development, they aim for a release in late 2016/2017 or whatever.
This would in no way or form actually mean that they promise to deliver the game in that time period, but that they try to be ready around that time.
I still think that March 2017 will be the best time to release the game. I don't know, it just feels... right to me. Plus, as I mentioned previously, 15th anniversary. How can they NOT capitalize on that?!
I'm not sure why people assume they have a X/X/XXX type of release date set already. Nomura said they've reached a decision about the timeframe, not the exact date. That could easily mean something as simple as "2016" like at the end of the Last Guardian trailer from E3.
And yeah, if Square want to take advantage of the series' 15th anniversary, then they should release the game on March 28th 2017. That'd be 15 years to the day of the original Kingdom Hearts releasing in Japan.
With the amount of worlds appearing, I don't see it likely that we will get to visit all of them twice like we did in KH2 which is a shame. I still hope they can make it happen though, maybe THREE visits this time to keep with the trend. JK 3 is way too much I guess.
I'm really disappointed they are ditching the Command Deck system for the older one. What happened to the Command Deck being the "proper way" to wield the keyblade? After playing BBS, Re:coded, and DDD, whenever I play KH1 and 2, the old system just feels slow in comparison. Plus, with the Command Deck, we had access to a myriad of different spells as opposed to just a handful. Even though Nomura called the old command menu the "king of gameplay styles" I'm betting he was forced to return to it to appease nostalgia-junkies who can't stand to see things change. Things have to change to get better. It's called progress.

I despised the command deck, it made things worse imo. I didn't like how I had to scroll through to get the spell or attack OR potion that I wanted to use. The kh2 system was the best, and worked the best with the ps2 controller. I always thought the reason they had to use the command deck was because the ds and 3ds didn't have as many controls so they had to make it smaller and easy enough to use on the ds or psp. You would have to keep pressing the arrow or just spam x until you got to what you wanted, and this wouldn't work with all the features we are getting in kh3. With the old style, you can just hold LB as a shortcommand and pick whichever spell you want (you would obviously customize this to make it even easier for you by putting what spells you will use more).

It might give you quicker access to the spells but so far you have only been able to have about 3 or 4 of them on the shortcuts so you would still have to go through the menu to get to the other spells.

I'm not entirely sure why people think that the whole "15th year anniversary" is something that square would need to take advantage of. Like, what? Do you guys actually think that would boost sales or something? Absolutely senseless to me.
If the game is ready before that, there is 100% no reason to delay it until 2017 just for some tacky marketing scheme that will affect nothing.
Days used the Command Menu, so it wasn't a case of less controls.
The command menu sucked major buals in Days because of limited controls. Recoded really benefited from having the command deck. That's the only case the command deck trumps the menu IMO.
Gathering all of this together, we can summarize that with all the worlds finalized, a secret movie confirmed, and laying out the ending, Square has felt comfortable enough to set an internal release timeframe, which could be as vague as Summer 2016, or beyond. Just because a timeframe has been set doesn't mean it'll be next year. I know first hand not to get my hopes up, been playing this series since 2002 and have only had two official numbered console entries. lol.
We knew that the traditional battle system will be back, but recently Nomura said that the reaction commands will not be in KH3, so maybe the triangle/Y button will be used to transform the Keyblade? :confused:
And yeah, Jasmine was bad.. "Soraaaa Donaaaaald Goofyyyyyy" oh i can just touch her excitement of seeing those three again. It's like she was thinking "Oh diddly not you again.... Must. Get. The. Happy. Face. On"
Jasmine: Sora Donald Goofy :D
Jasmine: "Shit not these Dorks again. it's embarrassing to be seen with them"

Well they could do a thing where some worlds are visited only once as part of the story while others are visited more than once depending on they're role in the story.

Yeah because only having access to spells and attacks you equip and not being able to use them again right away is such an improvement over having access to all of your spells at any time without having to equip them while also having access to other commands. (I = sarcasm) You see my point here?
I actually always prefered the Command Menu to the deck. I mean, sure it involved a lot of scrolling, but when you can customize shortcuts for spells it doesn't hamper that too much. Not to mention, like Sorafan said, You can't immediately use another command after you've used it in the Deck format. And having to move your cursor down away from attacks to get at your items makes the battles seem more intense and dangerous. I also miss when magic actually had a strategic use as opposed to basically just being another strong attack. So if they can strike the right balance between KH1 and 2 I'll be happy. To appease the Deck lovers, perhaps just offer more customization options?
I did like the Command Deck in both BbS and DDD (haven't played Re:Coded yet), but I'm definitely all for moving back to the Command Menu. The only gripe I have with it is that I'm reeeaalllly slow whenever I scroll through the menus (which is more of a personal issue), so I generally stick to only using the basic attacks and shortcuts, which of course is limited to 3 or 4 options in KH1 and KH2 respectively, and in that respect I feel like even though I do have many more options with the menu than the deck I'm never able to appropriately make use of all of them in combat. Especially in 1 where I practically had Cure and Aero in the shortcut menu at all times. I suppose my hope is that they can kind of combine the two systems, in the sense that the shortcut menu could be expanded to 8 options that you can scroll through by holding L1 and scrolling with up and down on the control pad. But I guess depending on how many different spells we get in the game it would become less of a shortcut and more the entire menu in scrollable form, so maybe not...oh well, I'll still play the game no matter what they choose to do with the combat system.

Gray Aria was referring to how Nomura himself stated in the past that Command Deck was the proper battle system and such, and how now he is going back on that mostly because of the casual fan base.
And really, it's a matter of preference. I prefer the Command Deck because I don't have to worry about MP, just reloading times which honestly were pretty fast if you had the reloading abilities, I didn't have to worry about using Cure once and then being out of luck for magic like in KH2, and I found navigating through about 8 Commands (at most) much more preferable than scrolling, choosing magic, than scrolling through that, then having to hit X again. Sure, the shortcut menu was there, and it definitely strikes me as "original" Command Deck for KH1/KH2/Days, but being limited to only four options was ridiculous. I'd also rather not waste time having to go through hordes of options in a battle when I need only a few spells/attacks/limits, when I could just scroll through a much smaller amount and dodge and do whatever else I needed to do.
No need to be so rude about it.

They could easily make the Shortcut Menu function like Command Deck, but with the MP system. Do I think they will? No, and I'll be sad about that, but I do agree that a lot of the magic from BbS->DDD was much more offensive than defensive (RIP KH1 Aero and KH2 Reflect), and there were some spells that were just... not even really needed (Poison, Sleep, Esuna, etc.) whereas the spells in KH1 and KH2, will being few, still all had some use, be it big or small.

That was more aimed at the part about improvement. Also I tend to come off as rude unintentionally so sorry about that. I was just trying to make a point.
