The September 25th issue of Famitsu will contain an interview with Kingdom Hearts director, Tetsuya Nomura, along with a special feature on the upcoming Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX on the PS3. Along with the interview, you can expect impressions of the game from Famitsu itself, along with brand new screenshots.
You can check out a small preview of the feature here below, and keen eyes might notice a screenshot which might resemble Lea from Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, which has yet to receive any HD remaster at all.
Goldpanner has fortunately taken time to translate the text on Famitsu's website which further details what we can expect from this issue, check out her translations here below:

That probably is from the new cutscenes in the Re:Coded HD part. I'm very curious as to what they're going to show us there.
Only problem is this scene isn't new as it takes place around halfway through Dream Drop Distance.
Could be them just mentioning KH3D, how it's the only game left to be remastered and they picked this random photo of Lea ... Or something.

Maybe they put some of the cutscenes from 3D in the Re:Coded part or something? I don't know.
I wish that this scan were higher res to be able to read something about it. Why are these first scans so low res to begin with?

My thoughts exactly!

It's a teaser Fami puts out in order to get people in Japan to buy their magazines.
What if they will show us Axel's/Lea's point of view during Dream Drop Distance? Like we get to see to see him train and stuff?
:wink: Happy news! 9 days...
Wow, we haven't had a Nomura interview in quite a long time. Gonna be interesting to see what he has to say.
Is the thing in the Re:Coded screenshot Sora's Heartless? It's hard for me to tell with such a small scan.
Been quite a while since there's been a Nomura interview. Can't wait to see what he said.
I hope this whole fiasco is put to rest and Nomura says something along the lines of "Yeah me and Square are still baes"

Yep. It's in it's Corrupted Darkside form.
Wonder if the interview took place before or after the leave of XV though. If we get some insight as to what's going on that'd be nice but either way an actual interview with Nomura is a treat as well.
Even if Nomura doesn't discuss XV, I'm just happy to hear from him. So exciting! I hope that Lea screenshot means some HD DDD is on the horizon...
Soooooooooooo, that screenshot...any bets that we're going to have a Dream Drop Distance HD Remaster or something?
Anyways, I can only wonder if this interview will address the whole XV issue or not. Hopefully, we'll hear something from Nomura himself as to just what's been going on.
We've been wondering about a HD DDD for quite sometime.
I'd die for a KH3D HD. I'd love to play it on a big screen since it is so hard to really enjoy how large the worlds are on a tiny screen.
Still holding out for a KH 'Ultimate Anthology Remix Premium Holy Diddly' package next year for PS4 with 1.5, 2.5, and hopefully DDD to some extent, whether it be playable or just a cutscene. A guy can dream...

The saddest thing is that I would buy that. Even though I own every single entry released in NA including 1.5 and soon 2.5... I would still get that.

Right! I've been holding out, and if it doesn't get announced by at least next June looks like I'll be buying back a ps3 since I haven't been able to play either Remixes. Gotta platinum!

Oh no. :c That sucks, it's not looking very likely that 1.5 or 2.5 will ever be available on the PSN either.

Why is it sad? A new game + a visual upgrade (which will hopefully include a higher frame-rate option). Sounds good to me.

Shhhhh, Taochan is an addict.
Nothing to see here...

It's sad because I wouldn't hesitate to spend more money on games I will already have owned twice. xD
HD KH3D wouldn't be too far off if they started already to go with the "game release every year" ideal. I really don't see KH3 making it's way into 2015, so it could be an option. Of course, I suppose they could do something else as well to fill the gap. /hopless-optimism

So would I. We have a sickness.

Don't feel alone...I'd buy it too...and feel not the slightest regrets~ 8D

Just imagined Christopher Walken saying, "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more KH!"
The struggle is real, and Gram gets it. We all in this together!
So, what do you imagine Nomura will talk about in his Famitsu Interview? How he's going full-steam ahead with KH3?

Comrades in addiction, why kick the habit when you can just play it and enjoy it more~

I'm more curious what his reactions to the FFV ordeal will be cause you all know he's gonna get asked.

Do we know for a fact the interview took place recently? Like after the events of the TGS announcement? If so I'm sure we're all in agreement on what we want to know about, but it'd be nice to even just have him say something about 2.5 and his involvement in 3.

Eh, I don't think it's likely. Besides the fact it is very possible SE would probably disallow that, it is also more likely that Famitsu won't bother asking it because their primary focus would be on discussing 2.5 and Nomura's work with the series as a whole. Japanese press is much more respectful than western press in that regard.

It was definitely recent. We won't know if it was before or after TGS until the interview comes out, but we all know that he'd be asked about KH3 regardless of the news from TGS. It's the current big project of Osaka and Nomura's the man with the answers.

Respectful press....such a thing exists? 0,o
Hopefully we get a hint or two too 2.5's new secret vid then.

The relationship between Famitsu and other Japanese gaming mags and Kingdom Hearts is totally different than, say Kotaku or IGN. In some cases information given in interviews has even been redacted.
Tinny provides a great example. There's so much trust between developers and Japanese press that they aren't afraid to reveal information that can't be released to the public at the current time, because they know that they will cover it up.
Whereas in the west, if you accidentally leak something, it's all on your head and you'd be insanely lucky if they're willing to remove your statement, no matter how politely you ask.
It's also worth noting that most of the time the interviewer is given a set of questions to ask, or given a note saying what questions are off limits. I'm not sure how real journalism works in Japan, but I know this is true for videogames.

Yeah. Japanese press and game developers is a lot different there. It is because of their respectful and trustworthy relationship that you find that developers are much more comfortable talking to them about secret information and know that they won't reveal it.

Which is always funny like when Nomura was talking about Lea and they kept having the black spots but everybody knew who it was anyways just by guessing.

Definitely not as true with Japanese press. They are likely given guidelines, of course, but they are much more informal with their questioning and let the conversation flow and edit post-interview.
I was actually thinking of some of the ultimania interviews. Some of them seem to have been chosen specific.y because nomura had an answer to it. But I was mistaken In regards to famitsu I apologize.
Edit: I was thinking of something Kojima said. He said he preferred the the overseas gaming press to the Japanese gaming press in regards to interviews. I forgot the reason why though. That's probably why I got that idea.

That's a bit different. The Ultimania interviews are specifically meant to deliver informative information to fans. They would have to be very specific questions or they'd fail at their duty.
And I thought Kojima was talking about Western developers, not press?
So, what do you imagine Nomura will talk about in his Famitsu Interview? How he's going full-steam ahead with KH3?
EDIT: Oh wait, it's up.
I sincerely believe Nomura will reveal news that there is indeed a Re:DDD in the making......[SIZE=1].a Japan exclusive only *laughs*[/SIZE]
