Ever since the Kingdom Hearts Fan Event was announced for D23 Expo Japan in November, fans in the west have been wondering whether the series, and the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 3, will have a presence at D23 Expo taking place in Anaheim from August 14-16.
Disney has just revealed on the official D23 Expo website that Kingdom Hearts 3 will indeed be shown in August, with special guests from Square Enix in attendance to speak about the game as well! If you haven't purchased tickets to attend the event yet, we highly recommend doing it as soon as possible to take advantage of this opportunity!
In the Hall D23 presentation on Sunday, August 16, at 11 a.m., fans won’t want to miss never-before-seen gameplay, trailers, new reveals, and surprises from Disney Interactive’s most anticipated games. Among the games participating in the presentation are: Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition, Star Wars™ Battlefront™ from Electronic Arts, and KINGDOM HEARTS III from Square Enix. Disney Interactive will showcase more Star Wars characters and Play Sets new to Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition and provide the entire audience with limited-edition giveaways exclusively for Hall D23.

Ooh, this is very interesting. Good to know that III has been confirmed to appear in the event. If I remember correctly, Sora`s, Riku`s and Roxas/Ven`s Japansese voice actors were there last time? I wonder who the special guests will this time be?

That was the Japan one, this is the one in Anaheim, California.

i have a feeling frozen world will be reveal there and maybe this is nomura meaan a world reveal soon
I JUST DID THIS LIKE OKAY I AM ADDICTED
The distance is preventing me from shelling out $200 to attend xD Guess that's for the best lol
Man, it's probably going to be Nomura again too! Please show Riku and Kairi ;A;
There is two of them? Darn it. I had completely forgotten about that(and I should have read the article better....). Hmm, maybe we might see the English cast of the KH-series? Seeing HJO, Gallagher, McCartney, Holland, Panettiere etc... in a same panel would be awesome. Also Quinton saying Got it memorized would be so cool. :)

you know they probally going to reveal frozen right?
This is exciting. It seems like time has passed where we don't have to wait months on end for a new KHIII update (:
New information. Keeping my fingers crossed for a new world reveal. Or a reveal for a fifth enemy alongside the heartless
you know they probally going to reveal frozen right?
i have no idea why you seem to believe your posts become more valid the more you repeat them
My roommate and I are supposed to go to Anaheim in November for a Disney half marathon and we were both wanting an excuse to go before then......REALLY tempted to pitch this as a viable excuse to go xD
Woo woo woo! Glad we don't have to wait that long. And I just got Tangled from the local library as a interlibrary loan b/c of the last reveal since we actually have it and like bleep i'm going to buy what we got. :) (That's one of the rare disneys I never watched and I wanna see what the fuss is about!)
Let's hope this brings some good stuff.
i think the special guest are nomura himself, maybe yoko, haley,david, possible hayden if not then alyson stoner and i think jessie mcarthy as for the new info i hope kairi and riku outfit are reveal and a new world which if anything i 'm leaning towards frozen right now
Wooo, more Kingdom Hearts news in a month! :3 I can't wait to see what they show. Please show Riku and Kairi, or at least another world.
Duck ya! Getting this all this kh3 news is a great sign! While it's still awhile out, I don't think it's as far as some. Fall 2016 :D.
And I think at the end of whatever trailer gets shown there, there'll be one for the 1.5 n 2.5 on ps4 (still hopeful).
With all this talk about "Star Wars" series and games, I hopefully think that Square and Disney is going bring it to KH universe :biggrin:

i doubt it right now maybe in the future but who knows however going over the article again the games mention in it are a star wars game or has star wars stuff in it excapet for kingdom hearts 3 so hmmm?
So cool that some of you are able to go to that event. Take lots of pictures will ya! If you guys could write article similar to the one the KH2.5 event one, it would be awesome. While reading it for a second I thought I was at the event. One of my favorite articles in this site.
Good to hear we get new information already quite soon. Just don't bring any Star Wars or Marvel into it. Please.
it wouldn't surpsise me if they reveal a star wars world there at a big disney event when most are the stuff going to be there is star wars and marvel
Jason Marsden walks on stage with Bill Farmer. Reveal Max as a new character in KH3. Disney cast member dressed as Powerline comes out and performs "Stand Out". Audience cries 90s tears.

i would pay to see that happened that movie was awesome but how about eye to eye though. :)

Spock, I live within driving distance of this event, but lack the $200 dollars for the chance of that to happen. Please stop! :p
I'm wondering if they're like... moving announcements from the D23 Japan to this event... ? I mean like, maybe KH HD 2.9 will be announced in this event + KH Chi Launch Date ( have in mind that the game is gonna get released in North America first, so this event could be a boost of marketing for them ) + KH III New world reveal.

Very seriously hovered over the tickets button on the site, but can't justify paying $75 for one event.

Why else have KH3 on stage at an event where Disney shows off their latest and upcoming works if they weren't going to show off a new world.
Well...you never know about the extra bits ;D

The full sunday schedule isn't up yet, but there should be more to do that day!
well, after seeing the thread title, my first reaction was...
[video=youtube;fmx5lzacZ-M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmx5lzacZ-M[/video]
and this is me after reading the first post.
[video=youtube;-GHX8dvuFUQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GHX8dvuFUQ[/video]
(sorry sign if i was being rude with posts sometimes i let my thoughts out in stuff i type without cold hard facts to back it up and usally that what happens anways i wont do it again)
anyway i think we might get as star wars reveal or a frozen reveal but who know at this point right now
the reason why i think it going to be star wars beciasue most everything is going to be star wars stuff if that not a good reason to reveal star wars i dont know what it is as for frozen a popular disny flim at at big disney event
Honestly, I don't even care what happens because whatever it will be will blow us away like always, but if HJO, David Gallagher, and Hayden Panettiere can be on stage at once, I'll be the happiest dork ever.
[FONT=Helvetica Neue]Wait, what?! This is beyond unexpected?[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica Neue]Also... Marvel Studios panel and KH3 at the same time? No way. also [/FONT]
frozen
Thank wfneoiagog...
They've got to reveal Riku's model, at least another world or two, maaaaaybe other character models like Kairi, Roxas (will he get a change of clothes too? O.o he never has, and Sora will...) and maybe Lea.
Realistically, they'll probably announce Frozen, and maaaaaaybe Toy Story, or they may wait until November. It might be wishful thinking to say they'll have a gameplay trailer or even a demo of some kind. But we should have at least one world and I think by now we should see Riku's new design.
Guys, what if.. just what if Utada Hikaru is there and she sings Simple and Clean and Disney says that their relationship is better now? And then it is confirmed that Utada makes a new song for KHIII. I think I might cry if that happened.

I was just saying this on the FB page but maybe we can have a KHI meet up! Looks like there might at least enough of us to make it happen.

RIKU <3 PLEASE HE IS THE WORLD'S FAVORITE HERO THEY MUST KNOW WE WANT TO SEE
I'd really die over a Toy Story announcement, or Atlantis, or a tv series or anything. Anything.
They showed a lot of gameplay at E3, so I don't think it is out of the realm of reason. A demo would fit at an event where they have more time to dedicate to KH3. Since this will be sharing the stage with various Disney games, D23 Expo Japan would be a better place for something like that.
Frozen feels like such a big tossup to me. They could reveal it at either event and meltdowns would happen regardless because Japan is beyond in love with Frozen. Pretty certain "Let It Go" still plays in stores around the metro areas.
Honestly, I don't even care what happens because whatever it will be will blow us away like always, but if HJO, David Gallagher, and Hayden Panettiere can be on stage at once, I'll be the happiest dork ever.
is there a chnace alyson stoner replaces role of kari in kingdom hearts 3
Eh. Maybe a tiny one. Hayden's been pretty good at coming back when it's bigger titles.

Hayden came back for that one bit in Birth By Sleep. KH3 is being set up to be a huge thing by Disney. Getting Hayden back would seem like an obvious thing to do, and just have Alyson be Xion (as fine as she was as Kairi)...but it is a slim possibility she might not come back.
Eh. Maybe a tiny one. Hayden's been pretty good at coming back when it's bigger titles.
True dat. And she seems to be getting back into the voice work with the upcoming Until Dawn for PS4. I don't see KH3 being out of the question.

I DIDN'T NOW ABOUT UNTIL DAWN. I didn't exactly enjoy the game when I played it at E3. Looks stunning, but horror in general is boring to me and I laughed while playing. But if Hayden is in it, I might pick it up just to hear her...maybe.
They weren't kidding when they said this was going to be a KH year, were they? And here we were worried! And to think we still have the other Disney Expo event to look forward to, too!:D
...In fact, this whole thing has gotten me suspicious that maybe they're doing so much because KHIII might be coming out late this year, but I still highly, highly doubt that.
Also, the day they reveal Kairi's outfit is the day I go into cardiac arrest. Mainly because she hasn't had too many outfits in the series, but moreso because it would confirm her existence in III. [strike]I'm also really curious about what she'll look like, and if she has long hair--like she did in the Another Side, Another Story secret ending--I will legitimately die.[/strike]
...I don't even want to begin to imagine who the special guests might be. I want to believe it might be the English VA--'cause that would be BEYOND awesome, and we've never really seen them together or talking about the games that much--but I don't want to get my hopes up.
Best to probably not think about this event at all, tbh. I don't think my heart can take all the excitement.
And now I'm also starting to think Frozen might be confirmed next. Mainly because I think Square Enix might be secretly addicted to watching fans freak out in reaction videos;) LOL. [strike](How I hope that's one day true for the TWEWY fans, when TWEWY2 is hopefully confirmed, as well.)[/strike]

here a video of it with hayden
[video=youtube;QD5S_kelW5Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD5S_kelW5Q[/video]
anway yeah i odnt think hayden going to miss this game to voice in if she does she does it no biggy alyson is a good replacment for kairi
Cool news. I'm sure whatever they'll show will be epic and it's great we didn't have to wait till November for a new trailer.
Just want to point out that Hayden also voiced Xion in DDD, so I'm pretty sure she'll come back for Kairi in KHIII:)
is it possible fora realse date to be annouced there
I think if they were going to announce a release date this year it would be at the event in November.

yeah but if they annouced there it would be only japan realse date though am i right?

Probably? But a release date for English is too soon. Odds are though that KH3 will have close to a simultaneous release, as that seems to be the trend S-E is trying to aim for these days.
The special surprise is Utada Hikaru with the new theme song and everyone go apeshit

they could reveal world wide realse date there theat would be hugh surpise and they talk about it more in november
Damn, I did not expect D23 in Anaheim to have KH3 news....such..hype.
The special surprise is Utada Hikaru with the new theme song and everyone go apeshit
Fuck me sideways I'd probably have a heart attack right then and there.
diddly me sideways I'd probably have a heart attack right then and there.
it is possible that she can be there
Little bit of an offshoot, but I hope we get another Nomura sketch!

I think...D23 Expo Japan might be the better choice since it will be KH centric.
Little bit of an offshoot, but I hope we get another Nomura sketch!
Oh my god please. With his new outfit <3
how about this have david and hayden be there and have them reveal kairi and riku new outfits on poster boards
Little bit of an offshoot, but I hope we get another Nomura sketch! |
This! More Nomura art please! My dream is to see Nomura do a huge sketch/painting with all of the original characters, or at least with all the trios(and Namine of course).
Fantastic news! FFXV news at Gamescom and then KH3 at D23 the next week!
You guys think they're going to announce something related to Star Wars? Given the talk of the Star Wars info alongside KH3, it makes me think they're gonna pull some sort of "Speaking of Star Wars and Kingdom Hearts..."
I hope not, but if it happens, I won't be surprised.
GUYS NOT JUST STAR WARS IS THERE BUT DISNEY INFINITY AS WELL WHAT IF WE GET A SORA FIGURE
I'm hyped to the moon!
Just got my Brother and I our tickets for August 16th. So stoked for all they are going to reveal, what a way to end summer cause our college classes start back up Monday the day after.
Can it be August 16th already xD
GUYS NOT JUST STAR WARS IS THERE BUT DISNEY INFINITY AS WELL WHAT IF WE GET A SORA FIGURE
I'm hyped to the moon!
i wouldn't be surpside if that hapeen
Well, as for Star Wars, chances are kinda slim: Director spoke about this before.
But as for DISNEY INFINITY FIGURE..oh drool. ^^ I don't play that but that would rock. Hype train, incoming!
| |
I never thought that the KH series would get it`s own hype train gif/meme, but what do you know. Man 2013 was a crazy year. Sylvester gifs went trough the roof when people were waiting in the night for the new KHIII trailer. :D

true but we don't know anything can happen
The special surprise is Utada Hikaru with the new theme song and everyone go apeshit
I would more than likely have a heart attack.
Ooh I didn't even think about the Disney Infinity possibility! If that happens, take my money. Give me my KH Disney Infinity figures.
If Sora--or something KH in general--gets announced for Disney Infinity, I will cry tears of joy.
Also... I. Must. Not. Think. Of. Utada. Hikaru. At. The. Event. 'Cause otherwise I'll get my hopes up for something that won't come to pass, most likely. Gah!
But, guys! What if Nomura shows us a new Sora sketch, and it's a picture of what he'll look like in the main menu for KHIII?! Wouldn't that be awesome?! -prays to God that something like this will happen, and that maybe Nomura will even draw it live-
I wonder what Sora'll be eating in the image this time, though... Paopu fruit, maybe? (More than likely, it'll probably be something weird like Rockin' Crunch Ice Cream to connect to BbS, huh?)

Paopu fruit to represent the destiny everybody is about to face in KH3 would work really well!
speaking of paopu fruit do you think that kairi and sora will finaly share the fruit in kingdom hearts 3?
speaking of paopu fruit do you think that kairi and sora will finaly share the fruit in kingdom hearts 3?
If they do that, it would pretty much be the series' equivalent of making out. Considering the story so far has been fairly aversive towards romance (stuff from Disney worlds don't count) I don't know if it'll ever happen.
speaking of paopu fruit do you think that kairi and sora will finaly share the fruit in kingdom hearts 3?
I kind of hope not? I'd prefer if Sora, Riku, and Kairi shared one to keep in line with the friendship theme.
God all this Kingdom Hearts news makes me want to play the remixs so bad. I stopped playing because I have this feeling in my bones that we'll get ps4 versions. Fuck!
Guess I'll do what I do when I want to diminish my Kingdom Hearts hype; turn on my 3ds and fight all the bosses in Days.
I kind of hope not? I'd prefer if Sora, Riku, and Kairi shared one to keep in line with the friendship theme.
true i can see that happing espically at the ending
Paopu fruit to represent the destiny everybody is about to face in KH3 would work really well!
Stick to the theme of Sora being ankle deep in water with a Paopu fruit in his hand and a bit of it bitten off (having a whole fruit in his mouth would look odd) and it'd be perfect.
They'll announce that there will be news in November~
Pretty hyped we're gettin' something next month. I thought I was gonna go insane having to wait so long for more news. Hoping we get a trailer.
Special guests and surprises, hm? I'm excepting Nomura will be there. Surprises.....Dream Drop Distance HD? Pleasey please?
KH3 & DI3 at the same event? You know that means: Buzz Lightyear in Battlefront confirmed! Wait, no that wasn't it...
Also, what about the prospects of a DDD HD announcement? Highly unlikely, since I feel that would be better for TGS or something, but it's possible.
Oh maannn I wasn't even thinking about going to D23 but now...
I'm assuming some of you guys have been to D23 before (I haven't). What's it like? How much is there to do? Is it worth it to go just Sunday? These might seem like dumb questions, but any info is appreciated. I don't really care for conventions unless something I really care about is there, like now.
they going to reveal frozen there i mean what world else could reveal there
Didn't they say that Frozen isn't gonna be in KH III
and there are other words we could see there; San Fransokyo, Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Game Central Station, or if they want to pull something similar or Mt. Olympus, we could see The Vanishing Isle(Aladdin 40 thieves), Eric's Kingdom(Little Mermaid II), or World's End (Pirates of the Caribbean)

SE doesn't really go out at TGS these days, but who knows.
KH3D HD, in general, though? Hmmm...

Nope! Nothing of the sort has been said!

Sure is brave of them to announce their involvement in the American D23 :)
I want to go to this badly since I live kind of nearby but my mom says no:frown:. Anyway I hope they put up some stuff online, so people that couldn't make it can check it out.

:c Aw! It is kind of expensive so I can see why your mom would say no. If I had told mine, she'd look at me like a loon for wasting so much money.
Something from the event will definitely go online, so don't worry about that!

I've never been but from what I heard, if you are a major Disney fan then then whole thing is a blast. There are booths laid out on the showroom floor where you can buy stuff or get free merchandise, check out displays for films, shows, park rides, play demos for games coming out, watch presentations, etc etc.

I suppose if all of the merchandise, displays, and things like that are available all three days then I wouldn't feel so bad about missing the others! There's a lot on Friday that sounds great too but ~$150 for the two days is a little steep for me. Too bad Disneyland passholders don't get discounts. D: And I wonder what kind of merchandise they'll have?
A KH3D HD remake would be lovely, especially since the graphics were kind of...odd I thought, could've been cleaner in sone cutscenes. But if I have to be honest, since we have no idea when KH3 is going to be released and we don't know how far along it is in development, I really don't want another HD remake to stall the progress of KH3. I know you have to take into account that there are different teams working on different titles, and TBH I don't know if the same team for KH3 would be working on KH3D HD, but still... I don't want it. After KH3 but not before please.. :\

Well, the dev team seems to know when KH3 so they probably have the scheduled laid out on what has to get finished. Any HD remaster would probably be taken in account of that schedule.
It is all the same division that works on the series, and for 1.5 they were split up for it and KH3 and 2.5 had significantly more people working on it within Osaka. So yeah, it is really all up to how they have their schedules set up and how many people are being used.
So, I just want to know. How many of you will be there? We can definitely try to meet up after the panel if you don't have a line to run to and cry over KH3 together.
Still debating... Mostly I'm concerned about how early I should be there because I doubt anyone I would bring along would wait as long as I would. ;^; Plus, isn't there a chance of not even getting in? *flashbacks of I.5 remix event*

According to the website, Hall D23 (where this presentation is taking place) can seat 7,500 people, so I think you should be safe? Granted, I've never been to D23 so I don't know how many people on average attends the event, even considering all the KH fans that will be flocking to the venue, but as long as you arrive at a reasonable time, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be allowed in :)
do you guys that will have a world reveal there i hope so becuase i can't go unfroally
Lowkey jealous over all of you people who are going. I'd contemplate going, even with travel expenses, if I hadn't already committed to going to an Anime Con this month and then SA Comic Con in September.
You guys who are going better tell us everything once you get back. I wanna jump on a high-speed hype train as soon as possible.

Glad to hear it will be held in the big hall! I didn't see that on the site so I couldn't be sure. Maybe arriving at 9 AM would be sufficient? I don't go to cons really so I haven't got the experience, haha.
i'm already on a shoe string budge.t although i have family at Anaheim, i just can't afford it right now.
With every passing hour I'm more and more tempted to go! Dx

Master Spockanort and Zephyr will both be attending so we should have real-time updates coming in! :D
If you have a Twitter account, I would recommend following us @khinsider, but we'll be relaying the news to the forums as well.
So, I just want to know. How many of you will be there? We can definitely try to meet up after the panel if you don't have a line to run to and cry over KH3 together.
I'll be there spiritually. Keep me in your hearts. And then find the nearest keyblade so I could get the heck out of there and won't have to buy a plane ticket.
i really t hope they show a new world reveal video then post it on later on and i'll be so jeallous if they show kairi and riku desing to you guys
With every passing hour I'm more and more tempted to go! Dx
I don't want to convince you because I'm still crying over my wallet and I know it's painful, but ;A; KHI meet upppppppppp and KH3!
Master Spockanort and Zephyr will both be attending so we should have real-time updates coming in! :D
If you have a Twitter account, I would recommend following us @khinsider, but we'll be relaying the news to the forums as well.
Please forgive us if our tweets are insanely hyped up and filled with any "OH MY GOD" and "AHHHH"s.
oddly enough i'm more excited to see if Kingdom Hearts unchained X will be shown. I'm pretty sure the next kh3 world will be intersting, they always are. but since kh unchained x is a game that we can possibly get soon, that would be a nice surprise. i just hope they rework the card-base gameplay.
I'm actually excited we are going to get to see something. Definitely its going to be a new world. And they did get to skip the Tokyo Game Show but we get one more D23 Event afterwards...HYPE IS BACK!

The cards are medals in Unchained X now, but it is still working on pretty much the same premise of the cards. (Make a deck of medals, they are chosen at random at the start of battle, etc.)
It'd be nice if we could finally get a date for Unchained X, or at least some live play of it to know it is an actual working app.

As far as I know, they replaced cards with medals. If you're talking about the battle system rather than the cards themselves, then I'm not your guy to talk to aha.
I'm pretty excited about Unchained X too, but I'd rather get some more info on KH3. I just can't get enough!
Speaking of Unchained X, on a side note, is it coming to NA?

Yes, it was announced at E3 before the new KH3 trailer that was shown.

No problem! There was a lot going on at E3 so it was easy to miss
Well, as for Star Wars, chances are kinda slim: Director spoke about this before.
But as for DISNEY INFINITY FIGURE..oh drool. ^^ I don't play that but that would rock. Hype train, incoming!

press F to pay respects to the dying preservation that we wouldn't get news until November

Good to know we've got some reliable members going to this event. You guys be sure to tell us everything!
:cool: I hope Australia gets it this christmas or even in November will do I eat sleep breathe and even dream of Kingdom Hearts 3.
What an odd thing to sa-
!!
Wait, so let me get this straight. There are two of these events, one in the states and one in Japan later this year. KHIII is gonna appear both in them(now it being confirmed for the next month event)? And the Japanese event even has an KH-fan event? Holy heck we might get a lot of news.
EDIT:
Holy heck I did not remember how creepy this was. :D
Talking about Brave,do you guys think it might be in III. Looking at the world, is it kinda similar to Tangled? I know it is kinda different(since I watched the movie), but it has a lot similarities in it`s surroundings.

Yep! Not to mention the possibility of Tokyo Game Show and Jump Festa.
Whoa. It feels kinda weird that were a getting so much info from KHIII. I know it still gonna take a few years until the game is finished, but it is nice to see it coming closer and closer.
I wonder if this also means that Disney has an all new approach to KH? I`ve seen discussions about topics that KH isn`t that big to Disney, but after seeing the two pick guys from Disney at the E3 video, it kinda seems that they have a different attitude towards KH now.
Saaaweet. Nomura did say the next world reveal wouldn't be too far off So maybe he meant for this D23. Perfect time for Disney to promote some of their other products as well. Looking forward to seeing some more KH3 gameplay and maybe some more info
Though part of me thinks the big guns are being saved for Japan's D23 later this year.
Sorry for asking this stupid question.
Is the trailer (if any) going to be released online maybe one to two days later after the conference end?

I think the did the same thing in 2013 D23 event. First they showed it at the event, and after that they released it to the public.

Yep! Granted, they're generally better about this with western events, when the trailer is made available online shortly after the showing at the event, whereas with last year's D23 Japan, it was uploaded several hours after the fact.
Considering this is a pretty big Disney event and they're pushing full steam ahead with KH3 promotion, we certainly won't have to wait long.
I wonder if they'll talk about Unchained X at all? After the little troll they pulled by accident at E3 (talking about Kingdom Hearts, narrator not translating it to English so everyone assumed it was KH3, then Unchained X trailer plays), I almost hope they don't just to save all the space for KH3, but I am genuinely wondering when it'll come out. I figured there would be a release date by now.
Merida has magic growing curls haha

Took 'em long enough to realize it's a huge money-maker.
Now you know who taught Organization XIII the art of compressed hair. XD
Huh. I always wondered how guys like Axel were able to keep it all under a hood... that being said, we all know those were magic coats, so I guess a hammerspace for absurd hair isn't out of the question.
| It does. Disney never seemed very involved, like they didn't really care much about KH. But now it looks like they'll be vary hands-on and that makes me happy. Took 'em long enough to realize it's a huge money-maker. |
I always thought it was kinda odd that Disney seemed to distance itself from this franchise. I mean, the original is up there on one of the best-selling games of all time, it's a faithful re-creation of so many classics for one hell of a nostalgia fest, and for some people like me, it's made me remember and appreciate how good Disney can be.
Maybe it's all the hype that's getting their attention now. KHIII is the culmination of (soon to be) over 13 years of buildup. I guess they figure it's a good time to cash in on the moment, because if they think the hyped-up and rabid fans will snap up anything they deal out, they're right.
This is great news. Perhaps if we get a lot of news this year at various events (and it sounds like they are reaching the point where they can release more and more info), just maybe KH3 will be released in 2016 during the end quarter?
I can't stop laughing at this. I can't help but wonder about the KH models in the middle of production...

call me crazy but is possible to see a star wars world reveal at the d23?
Oh yay! Much info please! Can't wait tbh.
excuses keep piling up for me to visit Cali

Oh that sounds so much nicer than humidity and boob sweat (which is especially weird for me since I have none). frikken TX
BUT ALSO it would be lovely to witness an official KH news announcement~
Awesome; KH3 news two months earlier than expected!!! And it's a little more than a month away! LET THE HYPE BEGIN! Too bad I'm all the way across the country from Cali....

it rains sand and sorrow

it was boob sweat hot two weeks ago, but if you stay by the ocean cities it wasn't so bad =D But yeah we don't have humidity like most other states

We're allergic to rain. We will melt in the rain.

Oh right the video was released hours after the event. I remember getting too tired and just went to sleep. Then woke up the next day to witness a beautiful KH3 trailer. Man it was hard to concentrate on lectures that day. :D
With KHIII being stated to have an appearance at the event, it does looks like that the info will be released more quickly this time around. I remember how people were speculating and flipping about the bits of info that were given from the trailer in 2013. "Whaat?" "Sora has guns now?" :D

I can't remember what the untranslated part was, but it actually went into the FFVIIR trailer, then back to Hashimoto with translations. It would have only been a "troll" to those who didn't know that Unchained X was confirmed to be coming over, as well as on a poster in the room.
Can't wait when they start having these events in Miami and Orlando....Damn Cali.
Hey friends dunno if this was posted already in the thread but, if you know a Disneyland Cast Member they can get you a ticket for $23 (:
Not sure if anyone mentioned this before. For anyone thinking about going - it seems the D23 website recently updated the policy on lining up for Sunday:
[FONT=Helvetica]For Sunday, August 16, the Show Floor lineups will begin no earlier than 5 a.m. at the main entrance to the Anaheim Convention Center. Please proceed directly to Hall E to attend the presentations in Hall D23. No overnight lineups will take place the evening prior. |
good for me because I know I wouldn't be there the night before. Now as for what time to go... I have no idea.
Just noticed that the article was posted at the 13th day of the seventh month. 13.7 aya? Hmm, this seems suspicious. Xehanort must be scheming something.

... Oh Xehanort, you sneaky little...
I'm beginning to wonder when this odd obsession with thirteen began. It shows up everywhere. Did they figure it really is a lucky number or something?
nb4 KHIII is released on a 13th day of the month.

seven is the lucky (and magical) number. In most cultures, 13 is designated as an unlucky number (and the reason some hotels do not have a 13th floor).

NVM thought it was about the date
Still trying to figure out what time to show up for Sunday. I've never been to a convention before so this is all new territory for me, so to anyone who is going or has gone to conventions before know how the lines are? Just want to get my body Reggie in advance. ;D

I've never been to D23 but I've been going to conventions since 2005 and I can say with absolute certainty you should get there as early as you possibly can to get in line. Hall D23 can hold 7500 people, but it becomes a matter of "do I want to be in the front where I can see something not on screen, or be in the rafters"
My plan was to try and get there at 6am, but I'm thinking it might be even more beneficial to get there right at 5am looking at the policy duchessa posted on the last page:

Star Wars fans are intense, so my motivations for getting there early are influenced by anticipating them hogging seats.
I don't recommend getting there any later than 9am to line up, though.

That's crazy might have to get sleep early the night before to wake up early enough! O_o Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind when the time arrives. Like you said more motivation to get a good spot in line.
master spokeanort if they show riku or kairi or even both new costume/design i will be so jealous of you guys and i have a feeling the new world will frozen then again they can save that for the november d23 in japan so let hope it toy story or brave in august

I've been posting around on the disney boards for tips and got some good information for those like me who have never been to D23 Expo. I personally might go around 7 or 8.
[FONT=times new roman]I desperately wish I could go, but alas the problems of being under 18 and not having any money are in the way... oh well I'll just have to rely on other peoples reports on what was revealed at D23.[/FONT]

Thank you! I wish everyone was able to go.
I'm glad I'm on the other side of the country or I may be tempted to drop $200 on this lol
I'm coming back form Ireland in a three days and I live California, very close to Anaheim so I want to go but I have no friends that like Kingdom Hearts xD, I've never been to a convention before, and I don't do very well just going by myself and not knowing anyone. I'll just stick with my computer because the trailers will all be online anyway. Either way, I'm just excited to see about this game. Hopefully a release date will be revealed but that's a very slim chance.

Trust me, you don't have to be under 18 to not have any money. I'm 24 and I'm still broke. T-T
Anyways, I can't say I'm too surprised about this. I've been half-expecting them to give us a release date since the first confirmed Disney world was unveiled at E3 since waiting until later would give more preparation time for a new trailer.
I know everyone's excited for KH3 news, but personally at this point I want more KHU news :/
Like a release date.

isay they give a realse deate there as well and i think near september-novermber it comes out
I'm still holding onto my bet that KH3 will be out before FFXV.
Come on release date and or story reveal!
I'm still holding onto my bet that KH3 will be out before FFXV.
That would be really sad considering how long FFXV has been in development lol.
Well, FFXV is about to enter full media promotion for the final game in like 2 weeks, and then a week after we have KH3 so we'll see how this goes down B)
What are we going to do when this thing actually comes out? It'll be like a dog and a car, we'll catch it and won't know what to do after that.

We're gonna play it, critique it, get happy, angry, sad, and delighted. Then we'll go onto places like this, post our opinions, and duke it out with the haters.
Then speculate the hell out of the secret ending. C'mon, you know there will be one...
True dat, then just rinse and repeat for KH4 I guess?

We will analyse every calendar in the game.
True dat, then just rinse and repeat for KH4 I guess?
Heh, what else would someone like me do anyways? Although to be honest, I'd rather there not be a title by the name KH4. It would kinda imply that the Xehanort saga continues with it, rather than ending at III.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that as I remember Nomura stating in an interview back in 2012 or 2013 that KH III will be the last numbered title.
So while the KH series will continue, there will be no more numbered titles, one less opportunity for casuals to dismiss everything not having a roman numeral as "useless" or "unimportant".
I don't remember Nomura ever saying there wouldn't be another numbered title after KH3 o__O
Does anyone have a quote?

I'm certain that everyone will still keep referring to every game without a roman numeral as a "spin-off" or "irrelevant." Thanks for the info though. :D

*dives into the pile of interviews*
Lemme take a look.
May take a while...
EDIT:
Found it, it's in an interview from July 2013:
Finaland & FFDream: Can we expect a multiplayer cooperative mode with many playables characters in KHIII? Tetsuya Nomura: The Kingdom Hearts series always had Sora as the main character, so we want to make the most of Sora, playable Sora of course. But again, Kingdom Hearts III is going to be the last chapter of the Kingdom Hearts main numbering title series, so lots of fans actually want to play as their favorite characters in Kingdom Hearts III so we will consider that, we will listen to what fans wants but hopefully we could give you some surprises in the future announcements. |
Of course, that could also be taken just as referring to the "Xehanort saga" in itself or murky translation again.
Although it is somewhat weird that Nomura says "main numbering title series" instead of "Dark Seeker saga", provided the translation is correct.
That aside though, it would be a bit weird if the next saga, which is supposed to start a new story with a different antagonist at least, starts with something called KH IV.
I'm certain that everyone will still keep referring to every game without a roman numeral as a "spin-off" or "irrelevant." Thanks for the info though. :D
Then if this is correct in the new saga they will have to denounce every game as irrelevant though, lol.
Although they'd probably cite other "reasons" then like i.e. not on a home console or not having Sora as the sole playable character.
He hasn't said it recently, not that I can remember.
Well, 2012 or 2013 I wouldn't decribe as "recently" anyways. ;P

Good lord that is one clunky sentence o.O
Yeah I'm not sure how to take that, as it seems pretty iffy for a lot of reasons. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out for sure, haha.
| That aside though, it would be a bit weird if the next saga, which is supposed to start a new story with a different antagonist at least, starts with something called KH IV. |
You think so? I don't really agree. Just because it has a new antagonist, it IS still the continuation of the main story. I guess it really depends on how they are approaching the new saga. If they are trying to keep them relatively self-contained (i.e. little to no references made to things that happened in the past saga) then a whole new approach to the naming would maybe be the best thing. But if it literally is just a continuation of the story just with a new antagonist, I think it would be a little silly to completely drop numbered titles just for that. What do they do when they enter the third saga?
Not to mention, I imagine from a business standpoint it makes more sense to keep with the numbered titles as those seem to sell more and appear more... legitimate.
But I guess, again, it's really just a wait and see kind of thing. Depends on how KH3 is resolved, how they are approaching a new saga, etc.
Thanks for finding it though!

I'm pretty much on the same boat. I think it would further confuses people if they just dropped the numbered titles entirely. And, as unfair as it may be, the numbered titles appear the most legitimate to most people. Why do you think most people are just now getting back into the series when KH3 was announced? That's just how it is.
KH3 is gonna be the game where a lot of people are gonna drop the series afterwards for a number of reasons. For the ones that stick around, you might as well go with KH4 instead of another spin-off game just to further make people lose interest in the series again. Just so it feels like an actual continuation, starting off with something new and hopefully less confusing. But I also don't think spin-off titles are gonna be dropped though. Not by any means. I just hope they decide to make them all on consoles rather then put them all on handhelds again. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening but who knows? Maybe they learned.
I think there's another interview where Nomura says that he won't number the next installment...I'll have to try to find it but I think it's older.

Well there is still the matter of a game that details what Mickey was doing while we were playing as Sora and the BBS Trio, and the rumored Birth By Sleep Vol. 2 or whatever the BBS secret movie was hinting at (which might be one and the same on all cases)
Can someone please tell me where I can watch this event live online?
I don't think this will be live broadcast anywhere. Our staff will be there though, keeping up to date with any info which will be available in a designated thread. We anticipate any footage to be online soon after the event.
I'm so close to the event but not going. I've gone to expos before and had major fans knocking me out of the way to be the first to see something, so it's not my cup of tea. It can get brutal sometimes lol. I'm sure you'll all post something soon after you find the news out. Should be interesting.

Yep, that's why I took it with a grain of salt.
Even if English is not my mother tongue I could see that it is somewhat weirdly worded.
Ah, I see. We're looking at it from a different base premise then as I was looking at it from a stance of a true and whole "new" approach in the next saga. While the first saga would of course still have happened and when characters from the old saga make an appearance again in some role (like i.e. TAV or Ansem the Wise), there will be some small callbacks to the first saga, but the core overaching story of the next saga would have little direct connections to the events of the first saga.
Provided that there will be a third saga, of course. ;P
Isn't it more of a failure in business on SE's and Disney's part when they do not manage to give non-numbered titles the same feeling of "legitimacy" the "numbered" ones have.
I can still remember the days shortly after KH 2 FM came out where Nomura was actually babbling about that BBS could strictly be seen as "KH 0" in terms of importance.
Exactly, it's too early to speculate about anything in that direction.
No issue.
By now I'm somewhat adept in digging through the interview piles, considering how often a reference to them is needed.

[B]Tetsuya Nomura: The Kingdom Hearts series always had Sora as the main character, so we want to make the most of Sora, playable Sora of course. But again, [B]Kingdom Hearts III is going to be the last chapter of the Kingdom Hearts main numbering title series, so lots of fans actually want to play as their favorite characters in Kingdom Hearts III so we will consider that, we will listen to what fans wants but hopefully we could give you some surprises in the future announcements.[/B][/B] |
I remember that question and the answer but I completely overlooked that one sentence lol, didn't have a clue he ever said anything like that. I think I will miss the numbers, especially considering how there's so many side games.
I'm so close to the event but not going. I've gone to expos before and had major fans knocking me out of the way to be the first to see something, so it's not my cup of tea. It can get brutal sometimes lol. I'm sure you'll all post something soon after you find the news out. Should be interesting.
Luckily this is not like your typical expo. People are not so frantic, and the crowds are not as packed as say SDCC or Anime Expo. I too have been pushed by over exuberant fanboys and it is not a fun experience. I'm glad I reigned myself in to not punch the twerp...
But yeah. D23 is a lot more calm in that aspect. It helps that Disney is pretty much intolerant of behavior like that so people are liable to be kicked out if they are caught being aggressive.
I'm wondering about the special guests. Maybe this will be the chance Tai Yasue gets to be on stage speaking to a primarily English-speaking audience presenting new, big information about the game for the first time. I feel like as a co-director he is still in Nomura's shadow and watching the plastering of questions Nomura got during the E3 SE presents panel with Yasue sitting there quietly for most of it, was a shame. But maybe both will turn up again and it will still be epic. Is there any reason for Nomura to be present at this when we know full well he will be at the one in Japan in November?
From that quote about using your favorite character. It's possible that you could end up seeing DLC where you may use these characters to replace Sora in he story campaign with some exclusive abilities.
