Far from the danger of another news drought, the exact opposite is taking place! Thanks to Sqexgal, we just learned that yet another interview with Series Director Tetsuya Nomura will be in this week's Dengeki Playstation! Continuing on from last week, this interview includes the following pieces of information:
- The decision to make HD remasters of KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX and KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories was decided upon prior to that of FINAL FANTASY X HD
- The HD achievements on KINGDOM HEARTS 1.5 HD ReMIX was accomplished thanks to two programmers on the Osaka team (KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep, KINGDOM HEARTS 3D [Dream Drop Distance]). The team itself remains relatively unchanged, and 1.5 is in its final stages of development.
- The HD scenes from KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days in total come to about two-three hours worth.
- The camera has been changed to be similar to that of KINGDOM HEARTS II.
- There will not be a new secret movie.
Nomura also makes a remark on THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU, saying that it's a personal favorite title of his, and he expresses that he'd like to expand the series, but for now he wishes that everyone would please enjoy Solo Remix.
We'll have more information for you shortly when the interview in full surfaces later this week. Until then!
Edit: Thanks to Hokanko and Goldpanner, we have some more translations!
Interview with Tetsuya Nomura, Director of Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX-
Sections from an interview with series director Mr Tetsuya Nomura.
- Plans for HD remaster were around before the FFX one. They consulted with the Osaka Team over whether they could do something to make best use of the PS3's performance.
- Actual development was kickstarted because one, the KH series had been spread over several consoles and two, in the series 10th year it had become difficult for new gamers to join in.
- HD remastering was very difficult, but two programmers from the Osaka Team spent close to a year on this and that and it came to fruition
- What he said he was researching in a previous interview was HD remastering for KH. The clips that have been released are thanks to the Osaka Team
- The programmers that handled the HD remastering were merged in from a team that hadn't been involved in the KH series up until now
- There are KH staff in the Tokyo Team too but there have been drastic changes, you could say that the basically unchanging lineup of the Osaka Team forms the true present staff for the series. The series is able to continue because of them
- Development for HD is basically in the final stages. He thought about perhaps remaking 358/2 Days as a game, but it would have taken over a year so he decided to give priority to the new title and instead have Days, necessary for inclusion, as a video volume
- You can select Days straight away after starting the game
- Some of Sora and the other's models have been replaced with the latest ones
- There is trophy support. He himself hasn't had much to do with the trophy feature, so he is still researching now as to what sort of content to include. Discussion over whether or not you'd need them for clearing worlds and first obtaining Keyblades etc is still underway
- The game controls have been adjusted a little to make them easier to use than they had been. Special commands display for the △ button, and camera controls have been made closer to the base ones in KHII. There aren't really any big additions. He'd like you to think of HD remastering and trophy support as all the additional components.
- There's no new secret movie
- He hasn't thought about making a bundle edition
- It would be unnatural to make 1.5 but not 2.5
- Work is entering the final stages and development is doing well, so it's planned for 2013 but he wants to deliver as soon as possible
- Browser will be a typical browser game. Controls will be simple and using cards, content not strong on action (?). Co-operating with several people is also a feature
- Fundamentally it's for one person
- Development is not by the Osaka Team, it's somewhere else
- It will be a spin-off title, completely removed from the story of the main series. Because of the nature of a browser game, they couldn't put in any grand set up for the story
- There are new characters, but he won't say whether they will be involved in the main series
- The Xehanort Chronicle is formally called the 'Seeker of Darkness Chronicle*'. He definitely wants to prepare us before the conclusion of this.
There is also a comment from composer Ms Yoko Shimomura.
*Translation note: In past interviews and summaries this has been written in katakana, but here it is written in English letters exactly as 'Dark Seeker'. I'm not sure whether this is Nomura's own choice or hokanko's choice. Also, I'm not sure whether to take that with a grain of salt anyway, seeing as early magazines did first publish the 'Unversed' in BBS spelled in English letters as 'Unbirths' which turned out to have been either changed or a mistake. Seeker of Darkness is already a key term in the series so I'm going with that in my translations until localised information is released! The word I translated as 'chronicle' is still in Japanese, though, and it may be localised as something different such as 'saga' or 'series'. I think the word chronicle is the best translation though so I will be using that until a localised term is released.

whats the camera thing is it when you rotate
Haha, what a coincidence! Sorry for the inconvenience roku! I spent too long trying to make it look pretty.
Can the Osaka team just make every KH game now? xD
It's no big deal.
Yes have them make kh3.
He also says new Versus info soon, and his involvement in Lightning returns is complete
.
Excuse me while I flip a bit. KH HD was planned before FFX HD? OH MAN. That means Nomura has been laughing at us pining after this for two years now xD
Also, YES OSAKA I LOVE YOU. They seriously need to just make KH forever. They get more done than PD1, at least. And it is always enjoyable to play the games they have a hand in. ;A;
NOMURA AND TWEWY <3
whats the camera thing is it when you rotate
Yes, the camera is when you "rotate" the image on the screen. *pretends this question never existed*
This is great news. I was expecting Days to be pushing just past an hour for it's Theater Mode, but 2-3 hours is very impressive. They'll really do that game's story justice with that.
Also, KH1 is going to be so smooth in this collection what with assigning special commands to triangle and an actual functioning camera. Unfortunately I won't be able to blame the game's controls for my failure anymore...
Excited for the new interview! I can't believe Days is getting 2-3 hours of cutscenes.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Osaka was doing prelim KH3 stuff. They're quite capable of it now. Shibuya/Shinjuku PD1 is currently neck-deep in FFXIV, then Versus. (Lightning Returns is probably largely a outsourced tri-Ace/Marvelous AQL affair like XIII-2.)

Hmm. Your probably right on all accounts.
FINAL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT~? How about a January 1st release for Japan and then the next day it's released everywhere else. XD
I seriously cant wait for all of this to just be bestowed upon us. Either a Kingdom Hearts HD Collection or Final Fantasy X HD Remake is extremely efficient for me, whichever comes first.
Hmm. Your probably right on all accounts.
My reasoning is that Osaka will have two KH HD projects under its belt by the time Kingdom Hearts III would roll into development, and they've proven themselves as a studio.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a huge undertaking -- as the game is pretty much being rebuilt from the ground up and on a very very demanding schedule. 750 people are on it (300 from PD1 and 450 outsourced, which is absolutely massive). Versus likely being the next big project, they'll get shifted to that. It could probably be out in Japan by holiday 2013, but I'm just speculating optimistically.
Lightning Returns will need some PD1 manpower but probably not nearly as much since a lot of the gruntwork is likely being handled by outsourcing to tri-Ace and Marvelous AQL. Basically the same situation as Final Fantasy XIII-2. No really, watch the credits and you'll see them all over the place. ;p

And that's why I agree with you. Your very knowledgeable about these kind of things.
What wonderful news.
2-3 hours, geez there better be free popcorn given with the game, am I right? I'm right.
Anyways, sounds good. And I would like Osaka to make KH 3.
I mean come on, BBS, 3D, 2 HD collections, and Re:CoM.
That's 5 titles.
2-3 hours sound really nice.
I'm also totally okay with the camera change even though I wouldn't have minded if it stayed the same.
A bit disappointed there won't be a new secret ending, but I can admit it's unnecessary and all the changes are enough.
Two to three hours of 358/2 Days? Sounds awesome.
I was really hoping there would be a new secret video, but fixed camera in KH is awesome enough.
Two-Three hours. Seems enough for days.
Final Development.... Another trailer we might see I bet?
The decision to make HD remasters of KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX and KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories was decided upon prior to that of FINAL FANTASY X HD
That will keep the haters quiet.
The HD scenes from KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days in total come to about two-three hours worth.
Yay!
There will not be a new secret movie.
Awww...
I think no secret movie is reasonable since we're getting 2-3 hours of Days. And if they include new information in Days... well then 8D
I think no secret movie is reasonable since we're getting 2-3 hours of Days. And if they include new information in Days... well then 8D
I guess you're right. Since we already know KH2.5 is coming.
Otherwise it's always the secret movie that keeps us on our edge for more news. But yeah...
He says no secret ending, but will that stop Nomura from doing a teaser to 2.5 in 1.5? 8D
He says no secret ending, but will that stop Nomura from doing a teaser to 2.5 in 1.5? 8D
Bingo, that would be very Nomura-ish. ;P
He's pretty busy these months giving interviews, huh?
Nearly everything I hear makes me more excited for a western release though.
2 to 3 hours watching the story of Days, In HD...and finally get to play Re: CoM and the Final Mix.
I can already say that once I kicked Sephiroth's butt I will have Sora equipped with the One-Winged-Angel Keyblade most times, lol.
Out
He says no secret ending, but will that stop Nomura from doing a teaser to 2.5 in 1.5? 8D
Like the teaser in Solo Remix?
Like the teaser in Solo Remix?
Something to that effect, yeah. Maybe not a still, though. Something more like a really short trailer/commercial like thing.

Xemnas says hi...
I doubt the One-Winged-Angel Keyblade is more powerfull than Ultima Weapon though.
The One Winged Angel Keyblade is +8 strenght, -2 mp and the Ultima Weapon is +14 strength in FM, +2 MP, so yes, Ultima is better to have equipt :D
Xemnas says hi...
I doubt the One-Winged-Angel Keyblade is more powerfull than Ultima Weapon though.
Ah yes, almost forgot the unknown.
Stat-wise it is not, as it even reduces your amount of MP, but in return it has an increased chance for more powerful critical hits which allow it to rival the Ultima in power.
Something to that effect, yeah. Maybe not a still, though. Something more like a really short trailer/commercial like thing.
Okay, something that shows a character moving or standimg in a HD scene and before you see their face, a quote from them appears.
Say KH2 Kairi was the teaser and her line
'Maybe, waiting isn't good enough'
Is in a black screen. Newcomers would wonder, 'who is this girl who looks like Kairi and why is waiting not enough'
Sounds better, right?
Nomura-san Y U NO LAUGH!!! D:
Srsly though! Got me excited again! He pretty much confirmed HD Remix coming early in 2013 since its in final stages. So i expect a March release for Japan. He confirmed Snow for 13-3 lol and he said Versus is progressing and we could expect a follow up report! Yaaaay!
Well 2-3 hours for days sounds really nice. KH2 camera YES!!! Thank you Nomura-san + Osaka team
Nomura-san Y U NO LAUGH!!! D:
Because he will laugh in the full interview.
Because he will laugh in the full interview.
Sneaky Nomura-san is sneaky! Only laughing in full intereviews! :3
Playing KHFM with KH2 camera will feel so much better, trophies, adjustments to kh2 hud/control, HD. This collection MUST be bought. Hopefully we hear a ENG release date during Jump festa or i might even get the Jap ver just to have it
If one hasn't been posted, here is a hokanko summary translation!

((are you serious, saw that and though that website was saying things we already knew, god damn it I'm worst staff ever urg pee'd off with myself))
Thanks Goldpanner, I'll add that in now! :)
*pets Chaser*
Stress less, petal! I always post it here anyway :3

Hehe, thank you. Nah, just annoyed at myself cause google translate did it's crap job and I looked at it and it didn't look like anything new x_x
(stuff about TWEWY and FF that I can translate later if anyone likes)
Ok off to make dinner~
Nomura finished new designs for Lightning and Snow for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII -- the extent of his involvement with the game.
He wants to expand the universe of TWEWY at some point in the future, but wants people to enjoy the iOS version for now.
"Please wait for more Versus information."
Final Fantasy XIV PS3 has a hotbar configuration where you can easily activate abilities by holding the shoulder buttons.
^Yep, and there was also this about KH, which I didn't see:

Ok now to make dinner for real how did it get 9:30pm already
Wow, final stages. I expect it to release by Feb/Mar at the latest.
Nice that all this occurs exactly when I'm in bed. This is great news, and great translations as well :D
So this game could be out in japan by early 2013. Nice. Then 2.5 could follow winter of that year. Wow 3 hours of cutsceanes, its kinda like a kh movie, [SIZE=2]I think khinsider should have a viewing party and watch it together.[/SIZE]
That could be arranged.

I always thought that Days' story would sever better in a more straight foreword media and I think this is the closest we'll ever get to a "KH movie" which is satisfactory.
Yes, let's have a party viewing, I'm all up for it. :3
I like the idea. It would be a great stream.

Yes it is. If this has real 1080p, 5.1 DD, and 720p Stereo 3D support then it's a win for me. I'll just wait for someone to fix the widescreen problem if Square doesn't do it themselves

You're not going to stop are you? Get over it about it.
Fack yeah I'm so stoked for this!! A bit disappointed that there will not be a secret movie, but hey, they did answer our prayers for HD remakes so that is good enough for me.
Yes it is. If this has real 1080p, 5.1 DD, and 720p Stereo 3D support then it's a win for me. I'll just wait for someone to fix the widescreen problem if Square doesn't do it themselves
I fucking told you to keep the cropping crap in the thread you made. Stop now.
I can't say I'm surprised that there won't be a new secret movie, if anything that should be saved for after KH2.5HD Remix. Now I am getting kind of nervous that SE will release some super awesome bundle with both KH1.5HD and KH2.5HD and all this extra stuff like a collector's edition when KH2.5HD comes out <___< and then I'll have to sell my KH1.5 and buy that...does anyone think that is likely?
Oh nice that the camera will be set to the right analog like in KHII.:biggrin:
2-3 hours of Days.
Camera is now KHII-style.
No new secret ending.
That could be arranged.
Yay lets hold this idea for the upcoming year!!!
Oh nice that the camera will be set to the right analog like in KHII.:biggrin:
I don't have KH1 anymore... Can someone please remind me what was wrong with the camera in KH1?
I don't have KH1 anymore... Can someone please remind me what was wrong with the camera in KH1?
It is rather... restrictive. You could only move the camera left or right with the L2 and R2 buttons instead of the free camera movement you get with the analog stick in KH2.
This is such exciting news.
Anyone else think that Final Fantasy X HD was announced a year before KHHD to divert fans attention so that Nomura could come out like "BOOM! We have KHHD, already in its final stages, ready for release early 2013" maybe to change our mindset that SE doesn't take forever to release a game after its announced? Just saying since FFXHD hasn't had any new updates since TGS 2011. lol
Well, besides the point. Next year may prove to be one of the best for SE fans. KHHD, FFXHD, Lightning Returns: FFXIII, and maybe a release date for Versus XIII. It's like after all this waiting they're like "Here are your rewards for remaining loyal SE fans."
Anyway, I'm most excited for the camera update and the revised battle command menu. We'll be able to look in places in Kingdom Hearts 1 we've never seen before!
Do ya'll think that KH2's camera will be used for Re:CoM as well? I've heard it's not the same as KH2's. I like it though. I wouldn't want it changed but then again Re:Chain of Memories is my favorite in the series in terms of gameplay.
FFX HD feel into the awful trap of being announced too early.
They did the right thing with KH HD by announcing it when it's almost finished.
Wait wait wait did I read right? Kingdom Hearts FINAL MIX will be redone?!?! Will I finally be able to play it?
Wait wait wait did I read right? Kingdom Hearts FINAL MIX will be redone?!?! Will I finally be able to play it?
Yes, you read right. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix is being remastered for the PS3.
Heck YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
This is why I like Nomura. This could have easily been a lazy HD port with no changes (See also,the DMC HD collection ), but the model swaps and the controls being tweaked/improved (not to mention the Days' stuff) really shows that there's some thought being put into it. I like when HD collections go above and beyond like this.

exactly this! this could easily become the best HD collection out there.
please, please re-render the CGI cutscenes in HD (and keep the aspect ratio intact)!! :cool:
Adding these things is amazing. The only other HD port I can think of that added stuff to gameplay was Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. They added A LOT of stuff for that one. Most of the other HD ports are lazy. i.e.: God of War, Sonic Adventure 1+2, Devil May Cry, ect.

The Sonic Adventure 1/2 port were the gamecube version, there was nothing to change it drastically and it was just a simple port to put on PSN, not lazy. Sora4sky might add what I said. The game was even announces to be just a port. I don't know about the others, anyone have those.

I think that's because Square Enix cares for their games. I really wonder what they'll do with FFX.
Hopefully fix Blitzball. I could never understand how to play that mini game, and when ever I took a good shot at goals it was blocked /rage

What's wrong with Blitzball? Lol, I loved that mini game in the original FF X (FF X-2 not so much). If I remember correctly I never managed to win higher than 8 to 0 though, *ggg*.
Everything was wrong with Blitzball :(
Everything was wrong with Blitzball :(
Lemme guess, you didn't really knew how to effectively play it?
Had not Tidus' special shot or Wakka as a player? *ggg*
Everything was wrong with Blitzball :(
I actually liked it. I was better at it than I was at the game itself... :(
Bugged the hell out of me you couldn't get any practice in until the big storyline match. I felt sabotaged.

Yep, that I remember as well. And the fact that you had to scout for some better players around Spira and train their stats before you could muster a winning team because the initial aurochs are less than average to work with.

only blitzscrubs hate blitzball
Hm, I wonder if they'll redo the old secret endings and update the models in it.
Really hope days will be more like a movie then a bunch of cutsceenes. It would be nice if the whole thing had a little more flow to it.

Yeah, if it's just a bunch of cutscenes with no flow, I'll be disappointed. If there's no flow, I'm pretty sure people unfamiliar with Days will be uninterested.
derp apparently there was some confusion
this interview is actually in dengeki haha

I'm sure it will have a good enough flow, since they're making new and remaking old ones. Plus, Nomura's directed a film before. He has to know what he's doing.
2-3 hours of Days scenes? It appears as though we are getting a KH movie. XD
I am going to try and watch it like one at least.
And glad to hear it is in its final stages!
^then prepare your imagination.....
For possible missing boss fights.
^then prepare your imagination.....

They might include a montage of the major bosses in each world really quickly, but I doubt they'll have all of them. Which is fine since I don't see how some detract from the overall story.

If it flows like a movie, I certainly hope that it's better than Advent Children. :/
^then prepare your imagination.....
For possible missing boss fights.
That's not much of a problem. Creating a good fight scene would probably waste good time anyways. Most the Disney stuff isn't even related to the main plot anyways.
^I was more thinking of the important/final battles, but hey, I agree.
^I was more thinking of the important/final battles, but hey, I agree.
The only necessary boss fights I can think of:
-Roxas + Xion vs. Darkside
-Roxas vs. Riku (when Roxas is chasing him)
-Roxas vs. Xion (when they think each other are Heartless)
-Roxas vs. Saix
-Roxas vs. Xion (real final boss)
-Roxas vs. Riku (final final boss)
I think they can do all of those. But, now thinking of it, I wonder how they will present these fights. Will it be a somewhat drawn out battle, like you'd see in a movie? That'd be interesting, seeing 5-ish minute battles. Every time there's been fighting in a KH cutscene, it's only lasted for a few seconds, but with three hours, it doesn't sound outside the realm of possibility that they'd be long.
I kind of want to see the Roxas vs. Xion when they think they're heartless from Xion's perspective. I mean, I'm pretty sure they both looked like Invisibles to each other, but I still would think it would be cool...or to see it from Axel's perspective to see what he saw (them fighting).
i guess hes saving the secret ending for 2.5
i guess hes saving the secret ending for 2.5
There hasn't been any secret ending confirmed. In a way, you could even think of the BBS secret ending as the one leading to KH3, not just DDD. We've also already got a secret ending from DDD itself so it's not like we're in any shortage of them.
Nothing we didn't already know. Just release the game already. Every developer says they have been working on the game for years.

The ddd one was kinda lame compared to previous since it was somthing most knew for years. 2.5 is a chanc for a real teaser and hopefully back in cgi for epicness
Just heard about the HD collection, and dudes I'm exploding with excitement! I hope it gets released in North America. Then I'll finally have a reason to get a PS3.
I'd be very surprised if it didn't release in NA.

it would pretty unlikely considering kh sells reasonably well stateside, so you don't have much to worry about

I would fear an internet rage storm if they announced that the HD remix was a Japan-exclusive xP
