During today's fifth Dissidia Final Fantasy livestream showing off the latest information about Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: All-Star Carnival, Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura briefly discussed the latest progress for some of the titles he is working on.
Nomura confirmed that voice recording is currently underway for Kingdom Hearts, although he did not specify if it was Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue or Kingdom Hearts III. Voice recording is also underway for Final Fantasy VII Remake and Dissidia Final Fantasy, which would include the arcade game and the upcoming mobile game Opera Omnia.
Nomura also confirmed during the stream that Sora will not be featured in Dissidia Final Fantasy.

iwould think it for kingdom hearts 3 because 2.8 va got to be done and they only va for 2.8 would be like to redo lines and stuff like willa was brougth back for
Hmmmm... It seems unlikely that the voice recording is for KH3. Isn't voice recording one of the last aspects completed for a game? KH3 is still at least a year away if not more. To me, it seems more likely that he's referring to the final voice recording sessions for KH2.8. It just makes more sense because 2.8 is less than 4 months from release.

"...because they are working on a Dissidia-like Kingdom Hearts game."
IS THAT REALLY TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR, NOMURA-SAN? PLEASE.
why are you creating these super-tension thread titles just say type "sora will not be featured in ff dissida" and dont break our hearts Dx
Aside with the jokes, I really hope there'll be a KH: Dissidia one day.

Well, Sora can't be included in Dissidia Final Fantasy because he's a character owned by Disney. Remember, all characters original to Kingdom Hearts are copyright to Disney. I highly doubt Disney would be approving Sora cameoing in a game like Dissidia.

Ironically, Dissidia started out as a Kingdom Hearts project before it got shifted as a Final Fnatasy project.

Depends on the game. Some games record first then do pick ups later on if the script changes.
In the past for Kingdom Hearts, it has been the last thing. For KH3, it appears they've been doing recordings on and off for the last two years for trailers and who knows what else. For example Jim Cummings said he recorded for KH3 for Pooh and Tigger but lol 100 Acre Woods isn't confirmed for KH3 and it shouldn't appear in BC or 0.2. So what else could it have been for but KH3?
RUMOR: Winnie the Pooh & Tigger to be featured in Kingdom Hearts 3? - News - Kingdom Hearts Insider
So it could be for KH3, especially since we are getting new info this winter. If we are getting any kind of footage that is from the game and isn't gameplay, they'd need voice work for it lol

Oh, I'm pretty certain if Disney believed it'd turn out as a blockbuster title we'd get it sooner than we could say "copyright issues". :)

yeah to redline and stuff and like willah was brought back for but i dont think it that do
Jeez man. At least try to use proper grammar, spelling, syntax, and capitalization. I have no idea what you're saying.
But I will say that we in fact DON'T know for sure that all the voice recording is done for 2.8. We only know that enough of it is done to do the trailers we've seen.
Aside with the jokes, I really hope there'll be a KH: Dissidia one day.
You had KH mod :wink:

It's also worth noting what the significance is to mention that voice recording is underway for KH, while also mentioning that it's in-progress for FF7R. It's rather pointless to even bring up if it only pertains to 2.8; the game was all set to release in December and the trailers and demos are enough proof that they've been recording.

That's a good point. I guess I was wrong. I guess it wouldn't have been mentioned if it was about 2.8 because we already know that. Plus, we're getting more KH3 news in December and we may get some scenes with voice acting in there. If that's the case I guess they would do at least a little bit of the KH3 voice recording sessions this early.

I mean I totally just said that in my post and even provided you an example of a person who reported they recorded lol

Ah cool, thought you might have missed it (I often miss posts and restate something somebody said so I thought it was one of those situations XD )

[insert cool video here]
I never knew I needed a game like that but I really need a game like that. That looks so coool and pretty much how I always imagined KH pvp would be.
we just wait for december for the annocments like maybe jump festa or playstation experince wonder which one it will be

And Disney again was the cause of the shift.
Since they were so opposed in Dissidia being KH in the first place, perhaps we'll never get one.
Or maybe, when the roster will be vast enough we will.

They didn't oppose it. Nomura never pitched the idea to them because he thought they wouldn't want their characters to be depicted in a violent manner. What nobody knew was that Disney had a fighting game in development before they shelved it.

Ok, my source put that differently and hid Nomura's part.
Interesting. I guess by KH Nomura means 2.8. I don´t think they would have started recording for III yet. The comment about recording voices for the VII remake makes me wonder how far they are on the development.

why would nomura mean 2.8 when we know 2.8 been voice acording he talking about kh3 like for the trailers in december
Aah we know that recording for 2.8 has seemed to start already, but have we gotten an confirmation about this from Nomura? Maybe this was the first time when he said it. Of course it is very possible that he means III and the future trailer in December like you say.
it for the winter news that coming up in december likely kh 3 trailer and stuff

Start?
The game was originally to release in about 2.5 months from now. That's not where voice recording starts, that's actually where it should be finished imo.
I really hope that this means we'll finally be getting a story trailer this winter! Eep!
Anyway, I really truly think that Kingdom Hearts III is much farther along than Square Enix wants us to think.
Granted, I doubt that they're in post-production. And I even doubt that they have the master copy of the game complete yet, but I'd like to imagine that they're at least getting somewhere close to that.
They've been working on this game for three years (if not a bit longer than that, because I imagine that they were working on III for a small bit before they announced it... Though switching from Luminous to Unreal Engine 4 probably did cost them some of their work), and that's how long it took them to make both Kingdom Hearts I and Kingdom Hearts II, IIRC. And it looks like they're going to be working on the game for one more year, at least. And I do think four years is a considerable amount of time to get things done in.
I know that KHIII's a much more ambitious title than any of the others in this franchise, though, and that this is really the Osaka team's first time making a game for consoles (as Re:Chain of Memories was just a remake of an already existing game), so that should be taken into consideration. I'm not going to deny that.
But I still think they have a lot more done than they're showing, which is why they keep showing older builds of the game (i.e. the Jump Festa KHIII trailer, I mean)--because they want to surprise everyone when they have a huge news blowout that shows how much of the game they really have completed.
But there is just too much going on for me not to believe this: Final Fantasy XV wrapping up production (where afterwards, the Tokyo team will help even more to get KHIII out the door)... Nomura saying that he has a lot of anniversary surprises lined up for us next year (which a lot of us took to mean that one of them is KHIII releasing at the end of next year)... the two Sora figures... different people saying they've done voice work for KHIII now... Square Enix hiring for post-production when it comes to KHIII (though I imagine they probably hire people for that early)... the fact that they've had a whole year where they've done nothing but work on this game, and haven't even had any press about it... and now this.
So until proven otherwise, I'm going to believe that this game's development is going steadily and that we may get it sooner that what we're thinking right now.
Maybe not by much (and tbh, the II.8 delay might have set it back some), but I do still believe that this game is at least somewhat more complete than we've been led to believe. Just how much that is, however, is yet to be seen.

Am I alone in thinking that we won't be getting news of KH3 this December since it was explicitly stated that they were waiting to give KH3 news until after 2.8 was released? 2.8 pushed back, would imply KH3 news pushed back.

All that was said was that there'd be KH3 news this winter. Winter lasts well past January when 2.8 comes out.

no not really just becuase 2.8 was pushed back doesnt mean the new was moved back espially there two event in decmber to show kh3 stuff
It's not unreasonable to be concerned. The main reason why SE's been holding back on KH3 news is to keep 2.8 up front and in the spotlight. 2.8 was supposed to be released in December, and the KH3 news would drop after that. Now that it's been pushed back, it's not out of the question that the news drop will be delayed as well.

they could still 2.8 and kingdom hearts 3 at the same though like maybe at jump festa or at the playstation experince
You're missing the point they're trying to convey.
If they dropped news about both titles at the same time, KH3 would completely overshadow 2.8.
It's got to be voice recording for Kingdom Hearts III he's talking about. It looks like the recording for 2.8 was finished with a long time ago. I've got a funny feel that our KH III will have a surprisingly fast release. A lot sooner than we all think. It just seems like something Square Enix would do. "Right! I'm good with that!" Data Sora

yeah true but i think they movie 3 news just 2,8 was pushed back
2.8 was pushed back to January and winter lasts from December to February. They'd still be making their winter "promise" with February.

Though to be fair, none of us thought that KHIII would be announced until I.5 and II.5 were out--because we thought that III would overshadow them--and we all remember what happened during that one landmark E3, so who really knows?:)
(And there have been other instances of Square putting slight III stuff behind a Remix trailer, and seeming not to worry about III overshadowing it then.)
But tbh, I do think you guys are right in that we won't be getting anything for III until after II.8's out, and I believe that Nomura's even hinted at that.
Though wasn't that before the delay happened? So maybe his plans might have changed since then? ...With whatever that ends up entailing?
Of course, a lot of it might not even be up to Nomura-san. It's all probably Square Enix's marketing team's ideas, I would think.

what event in feburay though chaser?
Does there have to be an event?
Does there have to be an event?
yesah how else he supose to show the new stuff to us and talk about it
Youtube, interviews, twitter, development reports, Message to the Kingdom etc.
Not to mention, Square's not above making their own events. I half expected them to announce a KH event this December to coincide with the world tour.
Not to mention a 2.8 launch event. That'd be a great way to reveal KH3 news, and work something out with Disney so it can be live streamed because we don't need anymore 2.5 Launch Event & D23 Japan stuff happening where fans get bitter rather than hyped.
I feel that KH III may have a more "solid" script, so they're recording piece-by-piece because the lines are not subject to change? We know that Tigger and Pooh were recorded for, and they're definitely not showing up in 2.8, so maybe for a spot in the upcoming KH III trailer?
well playstation experince was just annouced dec 3-4 so let wait and see what happens

I think they'll unveil KH3 news either a week or two after II.8's release. It's the final ReMix, so it'd make sense for SE to make any KH3 announcement after the game that re-compiles the last bit of plot we need to know of. Although I don't they they'll make a big, live event like the Uncovered for FFXV, but maybe they'll do something smaller and livestream it that could last an hour or so. To make it long they can talk about development process, unveil the game's official song, announce any possible cross-media promotion, show a trailer or two with the release date, announce a limited edition KH3 themed PS4, with our without the other three ReMixes, poster, cards, plushies, or even just a bundle of the ReMixes and III.
---
Overall, I honestly don't care what they do, all I need is a solid confirmation of where they stand with KH3. xD
well playstation experince was just annouced dec 3-4 so let wait and see what happens
the only problem i see with this 2.8 is not worldwide release any more so it wouldn't be fair for japan to see the launch event on the 24
Which is why I said they should stream it.
Also they can do a launch event earlier than the release date. 2.5's was like a few days before release, almost a week in fact.

That's plausible. They can hype KH3 and the hype will die down in a day or two and turn into II.8 hype xD

didn't that Dissidia KH get not made because Disney didn't want their characters fighting.

No, Nomura never pitched the idea because he thought they wouldn't want to see their characters fighting. Disney in fact had fighting game projects on and off over the years. Disney characters could fight each other in a brawl-like manner in Disney Infinity, too.
i hope the the trailer will be great one with the new outfits of kairi and riku
master spockanort wouldn't make sense to do the kh3 stuff playstation experince instead at jump festa becuase we would talking about the kh 3 stuff for while until the 2.8 comes out this way when jump festa starts they could show the final 2.8 trailer have talk about that the game comes out
Why would they promote KH3 at PSX when 2.8 releases soon? If they were to promote anything at PSX, it'd be 2.8 because they need to sell that game to their target audience. Not to mention 2.8 is the PS4 exclusive title.
Despite all of that, I find it unlikely we'll see anything new for Kingdom Hearts period at PSX and all that will be there is the demo.
JF is closer to 2.8's release and at least at that point it'd be more acceptable to promote KH3 if this is the course of action they plan to take.

there lead the problem if they promote kh3 at the jump festa then the new kh3 will overtake 2.8 stuff wont it and people wont get hype for 2.8 to buy it and the only solution left is lauch event at the point to show kh3 stuff with 2.8 lauching which i doubt will happen right now
They could throw a teaser trailer into 2.8 as a 100% completion award. It would make sense as a lot of Kingdom Hearts games have them and most of the secret endings are hints towards the next game. Since Back Cover and .2 are both "new" we should have a secret ending for each.

I doubt we'll be getting anymore secret endings, but then II.5 came and gave us two - Young Xehanort speaking with Braig; and Maleficent with Pete.
