Alright! Any news is good news. I'm looking forward to see more of KH2, BbS, and Re:coded in the full splendour of HD... especially BbS.
Thanks for the information!
Ah, I've already gotten more information about KH3 than I expected so I'm fine with that.
More hyped for KH 2.5 right now since it's so close *O*
Oh, look, the OP is updated!
What do you think the odds are of a March Japan release date for 2.5 being announced at Jump Festa?
i scream
u scream
we all scream
for BBSHD
I hope they give the Japanese release date for 2.5 at Jump Festa. But hey, I'm totally stoked for the new trailer too. Being on Jump Festa!
Oh dang it. I just remembered that on the 21st and 22nd, I will be away for most of the day. Are there words yet on the time the event is scheduled to take place?
I don't think so, though, since if there were, it would have been mentioned in the OP...
(lol those "new" screenshots aren't even 3DS quality)
Yay! Demo! Oh my god. We're going to get to know how the camera for BBS is ;A; I can't wait!

They no doubt will. They announced the 1.5 release date there.

If it's anything like KH1.5's camera then *shakes fist*

High imho. If they already have playable content, I think they are well on track for March...maybe April since it'd probably be good to start off their new financial year with KH rather than ending with it like they've done two years in a row.

Plus, unless I am mistaken they don't have anything coming out in Japan in March so it would make sense there (Lightning Returns is already out for them and Feb. for us, while FFX/X2 is out later this month for them and March for us). If that is the case then it would probably follow that we would see it in September 2014 like 1.5 was this year.
Oh man oh man. I am feeling the hype.
I really need to bumrush those extra Re:CoM playthroughs so my inner Trophy hunter is ready for this.
I`m really looking forward to see how BBS plays out in the PS3. Ah, hd Aqua and I can finally play the secret episode. :)
I forget, when was 1.5's English release date revealed? Was it simultaneous with the Japanese release date reveal, or was it not? If it wasn't, then probably 2.5's English release date won't be announced at JF and we'll need to wait as well.
Geez, I sure hope the gap between 2.5's Japanese and English releases won't be as long as 1.5's, but I'll take it anyway. Anything if they can polish the games even more than what they have done in 1.5.
1.5's release date in western territories was announced on May 7th via the Playstation blog and Square Enix social networks. For the sake of reference, the game was announced for and released in Japan on December 21st and March 14th respectively.

The gap for 1.5 wasn't even really...used for anything. The game was already localized by June considering it was the full game at E3 2013. They didn't fix any glitches (if anything they made more considering the awful audio issues) and didn't do lipsync for Days. I am not mad since the Osaka programmers probably needed to move on to 2.5...
But yeah...we'll see~
The gap was so weird. I wonder what the reason was for pushing it back until September considering how packed that month was for game releases.
hmmm idk why but shouldnt say 2013 ? becouse december of next year is a verry long ways to wait o.o

The dating for Jump Festa has always been like this. Nevertheless, Jump Festa 2014 is taking place from December 21-22, 2013.
Because Jump Festa is right at the end of the year, it advertises games for the next year and beyond. Since the expo is at the end of 2013, it's called "Jump Festa 2014".
Last year in 2012, it was Jump Festa 2013.
Hoping beyond hope here, but what about the box art for 2.5 being revealed? Huh? No? Okay...
The box art for 1.5 wasn't announced till January 25th. Before then, it was old concept art from KHFM.
Hell yeah :D
I am really excited about what awaits us and what new Features Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and BBS FM will have.
Thats gonna be awesome.

Strictly speaking, I don't think there's going to be anything that's entirely new content-wise. It's extremely likely that what's inside those games is exactly the same as the original KH2FM and BbSFM, albeit ported in HD.
The new things will probably be in the form of remastered soundtrack for KH2FM (which I am so looking forward to), tweaks on camera controls, and / or possibly a revamp of Mirage Arena in KH2FM.
I really hope they show another KH III trailer or at least FF XV and maybe a release date/window.
If not, I don't care, unless they announce english X/chi but I don't think they'd do that at Jump Fiesta

I know that, with new features i meant better camera controls and a overworked reaction command system.
I really hope we get more information about the Mirage Arena. It has so much potential to succeed.
Good to know Square is developing 2.5 with haste :D
Maybe they'll give us a release date ?

This.
I'm also very curious how they're gonna treat BBS overall. The original didn't feel like a console game, although it came very close. Stuff like gameplay animation needs to be refined here and there in order to truly feel like a proper console game and not just an upscaled PSP game. Another thing I'm curious about is whether or not they're gonna make any adjustments on the areas. The portable games always have smaller areas to run through, to save space so I wonder if they're gonna tweak that at all. And of course, the framerate issues (when things get a bit too busy) need to be solved.
I'm not expecting too much changes in KH 2 FM, aside from the added FM content, of course.
Anyways, really excited to finally see this thing in action!
KH 2.5 is going to be amazing! I really loved BBS and Kh2 is going to be really fun, too. I can't wait, actually I can, but I want it so bad! :D

Good world choices for BBS. Castle of Dreams is Ven's best world, imho; Enchanted Domain sets up Terra's story; and while Radiant Garden isn't Aqua's best world, it gives you a good vertical slice of the central plot, and also a fight with Vanitas, which I think was probably why it was chosen heads and above the rest.
Beast's Castle has a pretty good first trip as the KHII worlds go. Halloween Town was probably chosen because it has the most obvious Final Mix changes: new music and costumes in Christmas Town. Nope, I can't fault the marketing team with these five demos.
Ah can't wait to see how BBS looks on the PS3! Like others have said I really hope we don't have such a big gap between the release dates again.
I think the only changes to BBSFM will be new models, changing the camera from shoulder buttons to stick, and fixing the framerate issue.
I feel like the Osaka Team may go all out with BBS, considering it's their baby and all~
I really hope we get more information about the Mirage Arena. It has so much potential to succeed.
This is the major change I'm looking forward to for BBS. We might finally get a true online multiplayer experience for kH.

As do I. Hoping they expand on it as I'd love to see it in later titles. (preferably as replacement to Olympus)
Oooh, definitely looking forward to seeing this! It's too bad Square probably won't release a 2.5 demo on PSN, from the looks of 1.5, but whatevs, I guess...

Whoops, was referring to Kingdom Hearts specifically :/

Well to be fair, in the kingdom hearts regard, they did release a demo for DDD.

You totally set me up for failure there lol I was chanting "Ice Cream Beat" at the end, not BbSHD...although BbSHD is definitely better.

This.
I'm not expecting too much KH3 news if any from Jump Festa since they clearly want to spotlight KH2.5 so I'm most excited to see footage of BbS and Re:Coded in HD and I'm really curious about Mirage Arena, mainly if it's online, that's all I need, good graphics be darned.

Excuse me?!?!? The lack of KH2 Atlantica clearly shows that the marketing team knows nothing about their own game [/sarcasm]
As the world wait for December 21st (Japan Time) to roll around, waves of fans begin to chant from their collective spots in this vast world chanting "Online Mirage Arena," until it became the only sound heard in the entire world.
[strike]and then we don't get online Mirage Arena and cry enough to make Venice sink...[/strike]
(i would buy all the dlc for online mirage arena)
don't let square enix know
I already told them that only Terra's story should be on the disc, and Ventus' and Aqua's stories are now DLC.
[strike]and then we don't get online Mirage Arena and cry enough to make Venice sink...[/strike]
No jinxing, now... that chanting is a good idea and we don't want it to yield nothing.
I'd pay for Mirage Arena DLC, too... but I just hope, I really do, that they don't make us pay for those BbSFM-exclusive arena matches.

They wouldn't. Besides it being highly unethical, the additional stuff isn't worth splitting out of the game to make it DLC anyways. 8D
^ Me as well. Seeing Christmas town and hearing that good ol christmas town theme is one of things I actually look forward to most in kh2fm.

Exactly. If anything, keeping those in game would be good to "wet our appetite" for future releases since they are quite fun.
I can't believe I didn't realise this before but, now that BBS is gonna be on a more powerful system, does that mean we can have capes, or has everyone gotten used to not having capes? :'(
"Please, Square."
"No."
"But the Lingering Sentiment got a cape!"
"He's special."
"How so?"
"He's Secret Boss material."
"Dammit!"
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but some people here seem to have gotten used to not having capes. Personally, I don't see capes making it into BbSFM, although I don't mind either way.
Capes may happen, they may not happen, and we can only wait and see.
I don't mind that they removed the capes, tbh. Just made them look like some kind of comic-book superheroes anyways.
Anyways, totally forgot about the remastered music (*gasp*). Looking forward to that as well (KH 2 needs it soo bad)
I don't want capes. I think they were cool and the PS3 could definitely render them just fine (the PSP could render them just fine as well. They removed them because of the Mirage Arena and the chugging framerate it created, and we all know MA had a lot of framerate issues) but I like how things turned out without the capes. They look futuristic rather than superhero-y, and I prefer the futuristic look to it.
(secretly everybody prefers no capes so we can stare at that form-fitting armor)
I don't particularly care whether they include or exclude them, personally.
Oh god, I forgot about the capes
Give us the caaaaaaaaaaaaapeees!!
In all seriousness, I kinda like the superhero thing, I can't explain why but you knew they were fighting against darkness, against evil, and it looked really cool. Wouldn't really affect me (too much) if they didn't include it, though.
I'm kind of ambivalent on capes, sure they look awesome, I'd be lying if jumping around with capes wasn't awesome, but when you think about it, capes are kind of...well, pointless. They can get tangled in airplane turbines, rockets, elevator shafts, sink holes, vortexs in the ocean, etc. and can kill you.

Sans Aqua's disproportionate birthing-hip armor.
SO excited for BBS (& 2.5s) appearance! 8D

This^ I've never understood the fascination with capes. (didn't even like them before bbs came out)
I can't look at them without seeing terra as a batman wanna be when in his armor. =P

My point exactly ;) but yes, I was quoting Incredibles...just saw it recently and I still want it in KH for that exact reason <_<
Can't wait for 2.5, hope they get to show some stuff that wasn't in the original!
I hope they use Fate of the Unknown as BGM in the trailer~

Kind of torn between this and orchestrated Passion. The former is a beauty of a piece of music, alright, but the latter needs more love.
I HIGHLY doubt this, but you think there's a chance they might slip in a KH3 tidbit into Jump Festa? Again, doubtful since KH 2.5 will be the centerpiece (which I'm very glad about), but I of course wouldn't mind a teeny tiny morsel of info about KH3.
I just want Arendelle confirmed as a world in KH3, basically.

Um...50-50, really. Which is more like "probably not but we can dream"

I didn't even think about the Unversed! See? That movie is too damn perfect to NOT be in KH3. It just works so well.
I can't wait! im mostly excited for The new trailler and to watch some of the gameplay of the demo! :D i pray to god they surprise us with more KH news like if Utada is back! :biggrin:

IMO, it's pretty impossible to tell. On the one hand, the new president of Square is probably the only reason we got a KH3 trailer AND an FFXV trailer at E3, so he might be doing whatever he can to promote highly anticipated games. On the other hand, Nomura's even said that it was such an early reveal. We don't know how much they've accomplished or how significant what they've accomplished is. Plus, we've gotten pretty good KH3 hype this year, what with D23, so the president might relent a little, knowing you can't push out too much and make the team half-ass the game because of rushing or something.
I was thinking... since the games in 2.5 were in the credits of 1.5 then KH3 should appear in the credits of 2.5 am I right?

While I think that'd be nice, it isn't necessarily needed. 1.5 and 2.5 are linked since together they make a collection of all the HD remastered games thus far (minus DDD pending on IDK what's happening with that) but KH3 isn't part of that collection since it isn't a remaster nor an HD upgrade, so I would understand if it doesn't appear too.

I feel like there'll be something in 2.5. Whether it's a hint at DDD remastered or KH3, I don't know. But I have a feeling.

Yeah, I could see them doing something like they did in DDD where Sora and Riku walked into the light making 3, but IDK if it'd be anything overtly huge about KH3. Whether or not they do put something in, I'm fine regardless, since even if they included a new trailer for KH3 I'd still be more hype of BbS HD at this time :P
I think it's fair to say that a teaser for KH3 will be included in one form or another.
They could surprise us with a secret ending.
A secret ending could very well happen. After all, no more Remixes will be coming, right? 2.5 is the only thing standing in front of 3.
I would be thrilled for a secret ending (plus I just like having more side objectives to complete to gain them; huzzah to more gameplay!)

There's no telling for certain whether or not 2.5 is the only thing between 1.5 and KH3. It might be, if KH3 is set for a 2015 release date, but if it is to be released in 2016 instead, something else can take the spot to keep the one-game-per-year thing going. Re:DDD perhaps?

I wouldn't know how to feel about that, honestly. On the one hand, yay more Kingdom Hearts (DDD was defs enjoyable; a close second to BBS in my book)! On the other hand, wow that's a lot of remixes in a row. But I guess only time, and hopefully the release of 2.5, will tell.

That's my guess honestly. Judging by the way things seem to be moving along at Square, I'd wager that FFXV will be coming out in 2015 which would set KH3 on track for 2016. And a remastering of DDD could fill the void, although I have a feeling that if there is no remastering of DDD, then we may very well go through 2015 without any KH game at all.
Considering that Nomura wants to bring new players and veterans who either couldn't or didn't want to follow the side games (screw the latter group :P) up to speed on the story, it would be a bit weird to leave DDD completely out of it since it is not only the direct Prelude to KH III itself, it's also the title that connects the three handheld stories (Days, BBS and Re: Coded) together into one and builds the bridge to the end of KH II.
It's practically a "hub" storywise, so instead of KH III stuff I would rather expect something concerning DDD at the end of KH 2.5.
Also considering how early in development KH III is, I would say that Nomura and co. should lay low on KH III-info for a while anyways and fully focus on 2.5 until it is released.
We have already been pampered with info for KH III anyways, as we got much more for this early stage in development than we ever got for KH I or II.
(if we got KH3D HD for PS3 I would not be surprised at all. Resident Evil has HD 3DS games on PS3...and um I think Konami has plans for Castlevania...)

I wonder, what could the ideas for the new contents in this as-of-now hypothetical Re:DDD or DDDFM could be. I'm still hoping for online Flick Rush.

It's entirely plausible for them to make DDD all cutscenes and put it in with KH3 like they kept the FFXIII synopsis for FFXIII-2. I mean, they could do a DDD remake as well, give it another year to get "older" so to speak, but given all the other games were part of the HD Remix line, would this one be KH 3.5 HD Remix lol (jk I know it couldn't since 3.5 is after 3).

I don't know if they'd do that, considering this is the solid KH3 title, and nothing like that happened for KH1 or 2. At this point, I think I'm starting to agree there might be a remix. All the other handhelds have their remixes now, so it could happen :O

New secret bosses, keyblades, dream eaters, there's so much they could add. ;A;

Ehh I can see this as possibility. Tbh I'm fine with either.
I can't see a DDD remaster. I just can't. Sure, other handheld games are being remastered but those are coming along with the main titles.
Not like I'd be against that idea, I haven't played DDD yet myself since I don't own a 3DS, but it doesn't seem very likely even if there's a 2 year gap between the release of KH 2.5 and KH3.

The question is really if there even would be new content at all anyways. So far none of the remastered titles got anything extra added that wasn't there before, except maybe the Days-Keyblades in Re: CoM, but that feature was also already there, just for KH II FM before.

It would probably depend on whether they decide to simply give it the Re: treatment (or leave it as it was, considering the vanilla DDD is already of a quality on par with KH2) or go with the FM one. Judging from past FM titles, it seems quite likely that if they end up making DDDFM, extra contents will be added.

The most likely treatment they would give it is probably just to do a "simple" port of the game from N3DS to PS3/PS4 and buff it up a little in terms of graphics and HD, not a Re: and certainly not another Final Mix.
The main aim of these Remasters in the first place is to bring the saga together in a more convenient way (although the one console-approach Nomura spoke of once has already been thrown out of the window with KH III being slated for PS4 and no real backwards compatibility for PS3 games) so more people can catch up with the story for the saga-finale and experience the KH series entirely on a home console, not to add or change even more things.
I'm no expert but I would also assume that porting a N3DS-game to a Sony console (regardless if PS3 or 4) is a quite more difficult task than doing it with a PS2- or PSP-game.
The time issue is one reason why they do not port Days and Re:Coded, instead opting for cutscenes.
I could imagine though that together with the console version of DDD there might come another collection of cutscenes, involving BBS v2 where a story is there but no actual game being planned.
I think if they were to remaster or remake DDD for the PS3/4, they'd have to add something new (or a lot of things new). DDD is just too darn new having only come out last year, so IF it came out again in 2015, that would only be 3 years difference, Re:CoM at least had 4 but that was a complete overhaul from 2D to 3D, this one would be as big given DDD was already 3D.
Not to mention the 3DS is one of the best selling systems out now, I'm sure many people would just pick the game up on 3DS if they haven't already since the game would be significantly cheaper by then and it wouldn't be as jarring as Re:CoM to CoM where you are going down a whole dimension.
So if they do plan on re-releasing DDD, I assume they'll have to include something for people to buy it.
I feel like DDD is most probably getting remade into cutscenes (which, honestly, I don't mind... many gameplay elements were annoying). The thing is, there's too many touchscreen-exclusive features. It seems kind of hard to smoothy transfer features like training dream eaters, using reality shifts, or playing flick rush to the PS3. If anything, they *MIGHT* try to make a remake for PS4, since the controller has the touchpad, but I highly doubt it since the 3DS's touchscreen had video showing what you were slicing (reality shifts, mainly).
Also, there's still the whole 3D thing. Yes, they could just say this was for "Dream Drop Distance," but that seems stupid IMO, and I'd think most people would relate 3D to actually being 3D. Anyway, not everybody has a 3D TV, not to mention 3D TVs seem annoying: like, they can't get 3D right like the 3DS did.
I mainly loved KH3D for it's cutscenes anyway. Sure, flowmotion was amazing, but the entirety of The World That Never Was was freaking god-tier. Not to mention the composers pretty much went all out on the music, so most cutscenes were amazing anyway (From Tron dying to pretty much anything in Sora's side of Country of the Musketeers). It would be a shame not being able to fight to some of the battle themes, though, I have to admit.
^ Can agree with this a little, unlike older games where it's largely a matter of sprucing up and porting DDD is different. It's entire system is based around the 3ds which would be hard, and very lengthy, to put into ps3 or 4.
With that in mind, I'd rather take the shorter option, and go with the notion that someone posted earlier about DDD being handled like FF13 was in 13-2.
There was a option at the start menu that let you recap the story and get the basis for what is happening, which would work rather well for DDD.
Being a handheld title there wouldn't be nearly as much to condense into a recap as there was in FF13.
What if there was a kh3 demo inside this game
the sales would be....mhhmm

If only that were actually possible. Man, the game would sell as well as people are expecting KH3 to sell.
That would have been wonderful, yeah... but if it were possible, would the demo do the game justice? Given that KH3 is a PS4 game, I'm afraid that it wouldn't, thanks to PS3's limitations.
Why would a demo for a PS4 game be inside a PS3 game? That's going backwards lol

It'll be included with a nice note "don't worry, it only gets better ;)" jk
If anything I see a trailer, but definitely no demo.

I... think that'd just enrage the players, haha.

I honestly can't picture a full-blown trailer, but probably snippets of scenes that are going to take place in KH3 would work. Or perhaps a secret-ending style movie.

Same, which those alone would be plenty enough get attention for 2.5

All the more reason to go through 2.5 on Critical. I know for a fact if i go through on standard or proud, I will be on KHI 3 days after its release with a thread explaining that in order to receive KH3 Secret movie you will have to complete on critical or fill jimmy's journal on any other difficulty. Nope not doing it! Not taking that Risk! If there is one, it will be on Youtube pretty quickly though ill bust though 2.5 quickly as well. I don't want to wait besides why watch it on YT when you can watch it on you own console
If there will be a new secret ending or anything, we'll release word of it before 2.5 releases in Japan and you can plan your game accordingly ;)

I keep forgetting about the Japanese release, It doesn't feel brand new when you know that somewhere in the world someone has played though it months prior. It better to stay away from gameplay and cut-scenes until played for yourself. Watching again doesn't have the same feel y'know

I agree, that's why, maybe it's just a dream, but if KH3 was released everywhere on the same day I could just about go bonkers. I know the recent Pokemon did it, COME ON SE!!!! Please oh please...just this once. I don't mind the remixes given I've already played those games here and back so it's not like there are any terrible spoilers there :P
If Kingdom Hearts III got a global release date, I would run laps around my house in giddy excitement like I did when the game was announced at E3.
OR at least a shorter localization period. FF-13, all three games had like a one to two month gap between all releases

What? FFXIII took three months to come out of Japan. XIII-2 was one. LRFF is three. Shorter than normal, but lol LRFF is the worst by far because the game's localization is already done and they are sitting on the game.
What MS said when it comes to LRFF. It's just that with a game as hyped as KH3, IF they take even 3 months to release it worldwide, the spoilers will be EVERYWHERE. It's one of those games where it will be so hard to avoid spoilers because so many fans who don't plan on picking up 3 or can't wait any longer will just bum rush the story and post spoilers everywhere.

Yeah, it's pretty much true. That's the reason why I always try to avoid going to parts of the Internet where I can get spoiled violently when a new game comes up; it all boils down to self-control.
However, if, and that might be quite big an if, KH3 gets a concurrent global release, whoa... that would be awesome. And since DLC is already a thing, bugs that they might have slipped under the radar during the initial release could be patched easily, just like Pokemon XY's Lumiose problem.
What time is Jump Festa? Since Japan is half a day ahead of us, it should happen sometime tomorrow in the late evening. Anyone know exactly when?
From 9 am till 5 pm Japan time.
From 9 am till 5 pm Japan time.
So, tomorrow at 7pm Central then?
I dunno. If you have an iPhone you can add a clock for Japan's time.
Japan time is GMT+9, for your reference.
oh god this is like a horrible repeat of tgs
May I suggest the installation of a real-time clock showing PST, GMT, and JST on the main page? :P
Really though, it shouldn't be too hard to convert time zones. I believe US Central Time is currently GMT-6, and whatever time zone NYC is in is GMT-5, and Las Vegas is GMT-8. You can do the math, lol.

We've tried and it's failed. It doesn't work for some reason.

Or if you have an iPhone you could add a clock for Japan to the clock app. Or just keep googling "Time in Tokyo Japan".
Central time? CT? uh...5PM CT? WAIT IDK. Just use an iPhone and add Japan lol
Lol, you guys. 9am JST means 12am GMT and 6pm CT, albeit on Friday instead of Saturday.
Yes, but instead of constantly doing the maths and knowing what the time zones are, we're providing an alternative and easier solution to just add the clock on the iphone or google what the time is in Japan. Much faster and more efficient.
Other than that, watch the front page of KHI for our updates.
The moral of this story is, take 5 seconds out of your life to find a time converter online.
Also don't complain if there's no news every hour and act as if the world is ending.
All I know is that Japan is 14 hours ahead of the Central time zone. So, 9am on their Saturday would be 7pm on our Friday.
But I'll Google it anyway xP
Edit: Make that FIFTEEN hours ahead, not 14. So, it'll be 6pm Central time then.
You are all confusing me now. I feel like I don't even know what time it is anymore!

I already know the time, though. From my iPhone :P Since last week. I was just saying you all are making me confused on the time with all of the GMT +9 -6 etc stuff.
Looks like the 2.5 trailer will be screened from 12:45-14:25 on Saturday and 11:30-12:55 on Sunday JPN time through NND.
They'll no doubt be on loop on SE's official stream as well, but if you want to use NND you will need an account, just a heads up.
A one-and-a-half-hour trailer? WOW. Now I'm truly excited.

LOL yes, a one and a half hour trailer. That is really just 3-5 minutes looped over and over until our eyes bleed out
oh god this is like a horrible repeat of tgs
Every year. Every year.
So, people. This might blow your minds.
That has got to be the best invention on the Internet. So passive-aggressive. I love it.

And being played in the background while Nomura is being interviewed.
Probably they will present the playable demo as well? You know, just like LRFF a few weeks back... that would explain the length of the screening.

Is Nomura going to be there in person at Jump Festa?
Nothing's been said about attendees, but if he is, expect him to be hidden away in the SE booth.
Is Nomura going to be there in person at Jump Festa?
He never says if he is or not, mainly because Jump Festa is less an industry event and more of a fan event for the Japanese entertainment sector. Sometimes he goes and just stays in the back doing interviews. Sometimes he stays at Square Enix doing interviews and working on a game.
I believe one year he just randomly showed up for a few hours, left, and then commented afterwards just to say he was there.
In any case, whether he is or isn't doesn't particularly make a difference.
Ahh never been so happy to see Aqua in the demo booths. ;A; Can't wait to see how BBSFM looks like in HD.

Um I don't think the whole time will be spent just on KH 2.5. I think it just means the trailer will either be shown sometime in that time frame or it will play over and over and over.
Is Nomura going to be there in person at Jump Festa?
He probably is, watching a camera of all the people's faces to gauge their reactions to the video. Heck, I bet he's watching us watch the live stream now...brb, gotta go get my hair did for Nomura!
