Better late than never! Famitsu's interview with Tetsuya Nomura, which released just after the concert in Los Angeles last month where a brand new Kingdom Hearts III trailer premiered, has been translated thanks to Goldpanner!
--The audience was super pumped up at the concert, right? What was it like watching from the wings?
Nomura: I said this up on stage too, but the performance was designed so that the music matched the cinematics down to the scene transitions, and I was just watching while being blown away by how perfectly they pulled it off. I also thought that Ms Shimomura's piano performance has only been getting better and better with every country we perform at. We are in Los Angeles now, by the final performance in Osaka I bet she will be flawless! (Laughs.)
--That's a lot of pressure on Ms Shimomura (laughs). When you went on stage, everyone cheered even louder, didn't they?
Nomura: I'd planned on talking about the update and content patches for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX while I was up on stage, but I got overwhelmed by all the cheering and skipped it accidentally (dry laugh).
--What is in the content patch?
Nomura: We have added theatre mode to KH, and added a bit of cutscene to KH 358/2 Days. We had been working on those for a while, but it took a little time to finish, which is how it ended up being timed with this.
--The reaction to the trailer you released was amazing, too, wasn't it? I heard that you won't be any new trailers or announcements regarding KH3 at E3 this year, so it was a nice surprise for Kingdom Hearts fans to see before then.
Nomura: I think a lot of people have misunderstood. Whether or not we use the conferences for each platform to release information depends on what we want to do with the game itself, and since the concert in Los Angeles was going to be around the same time we decided to have it debut there instead.
--I think this way was really nice for fans, much better than having it debut among a lot of other rapid-fire presentations at a conference. The battle clips were loaded with more keyblade transformations and action sequences than we have seen so far, and I was left with the impression that the worlds were rich and varied.
Nomura: But, this time we only showed battle clips from the Hercules world.
--Oh, really? It looked rich in variety, so I guess I thought it was scenes from various worlds.
Nomura: Also, there's a Japanese version and a North American version of this trailer, and the battle scenes were taken from actual play videos of each, so they're actually not the same footage. We used similar scenes, but if you watch them side by side you'll see the difference. I think hardcore fans will get a kick out of checking it out.
--Also, D23 Expo 2017 is coming up next month, isn't it?
Nomura: We've already finished editing the clip we plan to unveil at D23. It's even longer than the one we just released, and on top of that, nearly everything it features is new, so please look forward to it.
Lastly, we were able to talk with Nomura a little about the information he is going to have debut at D23. I was like, "NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was losing my mind, there in Hollywood deep in the evening. It's amazing. Super amazing, everyone! I am not exaggerating!! Yeah, this is set to be a god among games. I'm sorry to be all smug like this, but of course I can't write about it here. But, I did receive permission to write about my own reaction, so there you have it! Maybe I actually just made things more confusing. Well, make sure you pay attention to the KH3 news releasing at D23!! When it's been officially announced, we here at Famitsu dot com will of course report on it right away, so for more details, look forward to the Weekly Famitsu published around that time!
If you enjoy Goldpanners translations, please considering buying her a cup of coffee sometime!

tow things that come to mind with the last sentance a big ip or reveal year
(thank you goldpanner for the translations you do here)
I wish I could have gone to D23 but it was just too expensive (just ask Spockanort or Sign about my frantic crying about money and travelling halfway across the world). Famitsu better be right with their hype, because I'm so so so ready for brand new footage.
There's only three things I can think of that would garner that reaction:
1. Star Wars world
2. Marvel world
3. Release date much sooner than we think, within 12ish months.
any other ideas? Frozen is just too obvious to get pumped up like that.
If nothing else, we are getting you to E3 next year, Chaser

I'll soon have my second bachelor's degree so hopefully I can land a job and save some cash for E3 :)
yeah i would like see picture of your face chaser iseen everybody expect for couple people one of them is you chaser
God bless that reporter lol. Him getting so excited over the information has gotten me even more excited! I can't wait to see what Nomura has planned for us next weekend!
Thank you again Sam for the translations! Can't wait for the new trailer soon.
Kinda looking forward to it. Seeing as how I actually had a reaction to just the quote of the last trailer, I might actually have emotion in this next trailer so probably will record my reaction this time. ( Though I won't post it on youtube until a future date...)
Wow. Talk about a reaction from the interviewer. o_0
I actually read all of you guys' comments first--before reading the interview itself--so I knew that the interviewer was apparently hyping up D23, but I had no idea it would be like that.
In fact, that might be the biggest reaction I've ever read from a company that's supposed to try and remain professional and impartial.
I seriously wonder what this could be now. My first thought was Toy Story, since fans have been wanting it for so long, but I don't know if it would warrant such amazement. But I could be wrong.
Maybe Wreck-It-Ralph? Because all the video game jokes, and things that Square Enix could do with it (like putting Dragon Quest characters in Grand Central Station, like Gameexplain came up with) could be awe-inspiring?
In any case, I'm even more excited for D23 now. And I didn't even think that was possible.
And thank you so much for the translation, Goldpanner!^^
You know... The interviewer's mood reminds me a bit of when Famitsu saw Neku in a DDD trailer, but they didn't mention his name in the interview and kept it a secret at the time. But only ever so slightly. That response was much more subdued compared to THIS!:)
Do not worry, lads. The wait is almost over. We will know soon enough~

This month went by pretty quickly!
Fingers crossed we get a release window. I still find it kinda weird that KH3 is getting this much attention.
Thanks for the translations GoldPanner.

Yo, I totally called it.
Please please please mean simultaneous release

I think it is more than likely going to be simultaneous :)

i would like to be out same time as use but isnt japan a day of us so can it be same time relase
It can.
If something releases July 11th in Japan and July 10th in America, there's a few hours of exclusivity but ultimately it'd be a same day release.
I'm pretty certain they are aiming for worldwide same day/week. They know that leaving a gap between regions for highly anticipated titles is a thing of the past. As a flagship title, their resources should definitely be going good into simultaneously localizing this game.

The CEO of Square Enix, Yosuke Mitsuda stressed simultaneous worldwide releases for their flagship titles, and that they will try and publish a blockbuster flagship title each year. Final Fantasy XV already took the 2016 slot, Dragon Quest XI is taking the 2017 slot, and a lot of signs are pointing to Kingdom Hearts having the 2018 slot.
Plus, Square Enix would be jeapordising sales by seperating the release date with Japan and the rest of the world.
Nomura came out at the Osaka concert tonight. Reaffirmed that the news coming in a week will make everyone super happy.

master spockanort it was mispoken at the concert
https://twitter.com/MysticDistance/status/883665112611139584
Thank you!
Thank you!
So we're getting normal info that caused a reporter to get that excited? Or did Nomura say that just so people wouldn't get way too excited? Or did they take out some of what they were going to originally show?
Sorry. That statement confuses me. Especially when we have an account of someone who knows what is being shown.
lol it oculd still come out in 2018 as a release year dont expect a date being annoced there i do think we get a window annocment at the end
Now in development :wink:
basically he said so people don't get way to exicted menaing dont expect a relase date of some sort relase window is still possible but not date
RIP 2018 Release Date ! KH3 is coming to Ps5
Now in development :wink:
Stop being such a debbie downer. I get the whole "keep your expectations low" mentality, but this is just taking the Mickey (no Disney pun intended).
I don't think Debbie is the correct name. I think it's.... Larxene!
basically he said so people don't get way to exicted menaing dont expect a relase date of some sort relase window is still possible but not date
Nomura was the same person who said at the July 14th show that if the trailer released excited them, then the new trailer was going to make them even more excited.
I'm sure he's just trying to lower hype so fans don't get overhyped like they did about the winter news lol but man, he actually started the hype train this time.

To me, it seems like the trailer is what will get us really excited, while the accompanying information will just be fairly standard, with a release window and/or more information about the new world we'll be seeing, perhaps.
The only thing that would get me as excited as the reporter is a release window. Maybe they saw Star Wars I doubt it. I don't really want that world or to see all the worlds before the game comes out. Hopefully they finally show off the big hero 6 world it's been a while.

Hes just talking about the release date. When he was hyping up the new trailer, he knew it's going to be much more exciting for the content because it's going to have stuff we haven't seen. But people took that hype and thought it meant release date or window so now he's trying to correct the misguided hype back to the content itself. I guess release window is still possible, but I doubt it because he came out and said this. Won't be shocked if we get now in development or just another date for the next info.

I just want a release year.
The person conducting the interview sure seems excited! I am very curious of what is going to be the new world they reveal. An older Disney movie that has not been in the past games yet would be nice.

it could be big ip that we never expexted to be in kh
I probably sound like a downer, but I do hope that it won't be Marvel or Star Wars stuff.
i am sorry i opened the pandora's box

I mean, I don't want it either but I'm not against references or easter eggs.
With Star Wars, they could have a random lightsaber or model Death Star hiding away in a corner of some broom closet or toys in a Toy Story based world if that happens. Silly downloadable costumes to celebrate the release of Episode VIII haha. Shit like that is innocuous and fairly common. We see it happen in all sorts of crossover campaigns all of the time with games, too.
Same kind of deal with Marvel. Weapon or costume DLC. It's not harmful. The worst it can do is make people start nagging for actual worlds but I think as long as it is clearly defined as references or campaign stuff, then it doesn't hurt anybody to have it in.

I would be all right with small stuff like this. Also I think it might have been you or someone else who played around with the idea of some Star Was-themed enemy Gummi ships during the possible Gummi ship sections of KHIII. That would be fine with me too.
Or, san fransokyo could act as an open world city with a main story and various side quests. The main story obviously being that of big hero 6, but the side quests could be other marvel super heros needing assistance and the occasional citizen needing saving. Like the Lego marvel super hero game. You can go to the story points, or do odd quests around the city. It would give variance to the gameplay and give a place to contain the marvel characters without having to recreate New York City (which I would love. Honestly, I'm in board for a "marvel" world based on NYC). Just a way to add cameos and content
I also don't want Star Wars and/or Marvel in KH, like, ever
I've always felt Big Hero 6 is enough as a nod to Marvel even though it's not really Marvel? The Marvel universe has lots of characters, it's pretty much like opening Pandora's box, and you'd have to fight/decide over which one deserves a cameo.
The person conducting the interview sure seems excited! I am very curious of what is going to be the new world they reveal. An older Disney movie that has not been in the past games yet would be nice.
Judging by his reaction I'd be shocked if it isn't Star Wars marvel or Pixar.

I mean... not really? Does one movie being included make this game "a god among games"?
Even if so, it's completely up to opinions. The person might as well be a big fan of, say, Pocahontas, and freaked out when he saw/heard about the footage.

Not that I'm saying I want this to happen or expect it to happen, but if they were going to have a cameo they would likely default to Spider-Man. Unlike Iron Man, Captain America, and the rest, Spider-Man has always seemed to have mass audience appeal and was certainly the most popular Marvel hero to people for years.
Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and the rest had their varying levels of popularity but they weren't as well known as Spider-Man until first Iron Man film paved the way for the MCU.
Judging by his reaction I'd be shocked if it isn't Star Wars marvel or Pixar.
To this day, I think any Star Wars world would be too much and way too on the nose for a series that is extremely inspired by Star Wars.

yeah true it rally what depends on everone taste
Mm, but you have to consider they are calling it a god among games. That sort of sets a certain precedent for expectations, too lol
I'm a guy who wanted a Power Rangers worlds back when Disney still owned that show. Star Wars seems downright mudane by comparison.

That hype though.. I'm seriously itching to find out what is so god like about the reveal. The only things I can surmise that would possibly reach those levels of hype is a totally out-of-left-field new World, or possibly yet another game mechanic.
Only seven days leffffft....
During the KH orchestra concert in Osaka, Japan, Nomura said that he ended up raising expectations for the D23 trailer, and that the info there would just be "normal" info.
Time to start lowering expectations, people.
Unless the interviewer was just massively over-hyping the content of the trailer, I'm getting the feeling that a huge, unexpected IP is going to be revealed. Marvel and Star Wars seem to be way too obvious to garner that sort of reaction, but there's another huge, Disney-owned IP that nobody has really discussed yet: What about Indiana Jones? There's a new movie coming out in 2019, and if KH3 is coming out at around the same time, then it would make for a great tie-in. Honestly, if Indiana Jones was the world announced next week, then it would be such an unexpected surprise, I know I'd be shook!
Also, I know this is a common trope in fiction, but doesn't the Adventurer Heartless from UX have a bit of an Indy theme going on?
if moana get reveal at d23 i will flip out
nomura be like
"the next trailer will be hype af, it'll be great. awesome. god, good godly game. be hyped. be hyped now for the trailer."
nomura ~one week later be like
"don't expect too much, keep hype low. normal info"
nomura be like
"the next trailer will be hype af, it'll be great. awesome. god, good godly game. be hyped. be hyped now for the trailer."
nomura ~one week later be like

Well all Nomura ever said was "trailer will be mostly new, new world, make u happy"
The fanbase, mostly the US fanbase and the Famitsu interviewer were all like "FINAL INFORMATION, GODLY GAME, HYPE HYPE HYPE, CALENDER HINTS AT RELEASE DATE"
I'm sure were all curious what KH3 has in store its nice that new worlds, new forms, etc. But I feel that were forgetting the Disney Classics. Like for example I would like to see Atlantis, or Emperors New Groove and the Jungle Book.

Yeah, that's what we've been taking about for two pages now lol
what about a star wars rebel world that could work yeah it main movie star wars but it oculd fit in kh and also what world could make the person freak out so much
No. That sounds like a bad idea.

!!! THAT WOULD BE SO COOL. I never even thought of Indiana Jones tbh. Now I wish there was extended Indiana Jones media like an animated series.

Nomura forgot how much power words have. Say "you will be excited" and we all think we are getting a free 14k solid gold brick with our copy of KH3.

To be fair, it's been like a whole year since we got new information and all of the hurdles that were keeping Nomura from revealing new news are out of the way.

Nobody's forgotten them at all. It's just more that they expect us to be surprised and those three wouldn't be as surprising as something just completely unthinkable.
god dame 7 more but days 6 for master spockanort, sign,churro and dandlion i cant wait im dying to know what this world is also i wonder if nomura have to leave japan soon

It's kinda sad that when Nomura can finally talk about the new info, his words get misinterpreted simply because he didn't word his sentences correctly or something like that. I already know how this will all end.
The casual fanbase's overblown expectations will not be met, they'll get pissed off at Nomura, more stupid release date jokes, "10 years", "HE TAKES TOO LONG", "WHAT ABOUT THE FINAL INFORMATION YOU HACK"
I mean, yeah, this literally is his fault though? He started the hype train, come on, let's be real. Even back then when they showed the Orchestra Trailer, he hyped up the next trailer and info.
I unno.

Maybe its taking too long because hes trying to satisfy everyones needs and expectations but not everyone is gonna be happy with it. I feel we should give him credit for coming this far you know? This is all of our childhood games. He means well. I wouldn't doubt Nomura too quickly. I still got hope. ^___^
to be fair i sont nomura meant to hype the next news like this i think we wanted to make exticted but it got way out of hand
Dude...
"Final information at D23"
"If this month's announcements made you happy, next month's will make you even happier."
He was hyping it up. And then there are other tweets that were hyping it up.

Actually, I was at that show and while the translator said "final", he didn't say that in Japanese.
While I understand the "I don't expect anything anymore" stance might come off as obnoxious and destructive for the sake of it, I feel that's literally the way to go in these situations.
I watch this roller coaster unfolding and my feelings towards the next trailer haven't changed one bit. I'll just watch it and be done with it.
I'd kill for a National Treasure world, tbh... I know no one else in their right mind wants that. Because it'd just be so awkward; and how would it work, when KH has always been careful not to make the worlds the countries they're based on?
...But I think they could potentially make it work decently (at least as well as Pirates did. And way better with the graphics now), and that it'd just be really fun playing some of the stuff from the films in gameplay and having a more puzzle-y section in KH again.
Really, what I think I want is a good National Treasure video game. But since I know that'll never happen, getting it in KH is probably the most I can hope for.
And maybe something like this is popular and unexpected enough to get such a reaction out of the reporter? ...Ehh. Probably not.
I also really want Enchanted as the new Hundred Acre Wood, or something. But I so know that's not what the interviewer is talking about here. Haha.
Edit: Or, you know, speaking of Pirates... Maybe it's Dead Man's Chest. I could see that getting such a response, maybe--if we have some great Davy Jones and his crew animations, as well as Sora fighting the Kraken (and Sora and the crew actually blending in with the film some for once).
I honestly wouldn't mind a national treasure world. Its just a simple case of there being more fitting alternatives ya know?
Hell, frankenweenie would be more fitting...
Also enchanted is apparently getting a sequel, surprisingly.
I'm hoping for Star Wars.
EA gonna destroy my hopes and dreams again though.
I feel like it'll be Treasure Planet, going from the design of that transformation in the D23 still.
We know Roy Conli is working with the team for multiple worlds, and he's only been a part of a handful of movies, so...

If any new live-action property is going to make it for Kingdom Hearts, I have a good feeling that Oz, The Great and Powerful would be the top contender. It's a fantasy world, it's live-action, and it was a financial success for Disney.
six more days eveboy but five for the people going on the the whole three days what world made the editor freaked out so much

I agree, even in Europe, generally speaking, the old Spider Man series were and are widely-known and appreciated, as far as I observed. Spidey is also the closest to a pure children-friendly character, while the other superheroes have... various things in their character.
Like, my fav superhero is Iron Man but in all seriousness I can't possibly imagine him having a serious conversation with a spiky-haired kiddo who runs around with a giant duck and dog and key, at last.
Spidey would really be the best (and safest) choice regarding what new superhero/Marvel/whatyouwant character one may include in the KH universe.

"don't expect too much, keep hype low. normal info"
"""It's even longer than the one we just released, and on top of that, nearly everything it features is new""""
this line, translated into a gif:
so still, Nomura saying this is undeniably fangasm material no matter how you take it
he can't de-hype what is made of hype
^ I mean yeah, that post was mainly me joking (since i posted that in a messenger group and just copy pasted).
Still thoughhh, first saying that this is "final info", aka, something special, and then "normal"..? I dunnooo. I'm still really hyped for the trailer
If any new live-action property is going to make it for Kingdom Hearts, I have a good feeling that Oz, The Great and Powerful would be the top contender. It's a fantasy world, it's live-action, and it was a financial success for Disney.
I'd kill for a Return to Oz world in KH one day - it's my favourite Oz movie, even more so than the original :) Imagine being able to explore Princess Mombi's Castle with the hall of her severed heads, and the Nome King's Mountain? It'll never happen, but I can dream, right?
Unless the interviewer was just massively over-hyping the content of the trailer, I'm getting the feeling that a huge, unexpected IP is going to be revealed. Marvel and Star Wars seem to be way too obvious to garner that sort of reaction, but there's another huge, Disney-owned IP that nobody has really discussed yet: What about Indiana Jones? There's a new movie coming out in 2019, and if KH3 is coming out at around the same time, then it would make for a great tie-in. Honestly, if Indiana Jones was the world announced next week, then it would be such an unexpected surprise, I know I'd be shook!
Also, I know this is a common trope in fiction, but doesn't the Adventurer Heartless from UX have a bit of an Indy theme going on?
*Then again, maybe the money bag is hinting towards a Kool-Aid world? lollollol
This Heartless reminds me more of DuckTales the movie. Of course, the opening scene is meant to be similar to Indiana Jones, too, but there's something about the money bag* and the shape of the sword that makes me lean towards DuckTales. I have no nostalgia for Jones or Star Wars. Thank God Disney doesn’t own James Bond.
*Then again, maybe the money bag is hinting towards a Kool-Aid world? lollollol
You know, Ducktales never even occurred to me, but now that you mention it, yeah I can see it :)
I really wouldn't mind either way, an Indiana Jones or a Ducktales world would be freaking awesome!
DuckTales! I would love something about it in KH3, the show is part of the biiig golden heart of Disney childhood
though basically we already got Donald's nephews and Scrooge McDuck in the series, not in a separate world with plot on its own but their presence in different titles till now does suffice, so I doubt an actual DuckTales world would appear...
@The_Echo I'm still leaning towards the Keyblade transformation being about Atlantis: The Lost Empire, because it looks like one of the drills from that movie.
But we'll see what ends up happening, I guess:)
Though I can't imagine the interviewer would be so hyped for that world... Or a Treasure Planet one, to be honest. Unless they're just a super big fan of them, for some reason.
But what about The Jungle Book, guys? They've been trying to get that world into KH for forever. Well, what if they finally did it, and it's the awesome new liveaction one?
And has anyone considered that the interviewer's reaction might be about something related to KH's main story? Maybe we see a clip of TVA all saved--and getting ready to work with SRK, Lea, and MDG, and that's what's gotten them so hyped? I'd like to believe something like this wouldn't be in so early a trailer, but you never know.

I don't think it will be Atlantis or Treasure Planet, simply because I think Disney would prefer to show off a more popular franchise at their own event. I think realistically, it's going to be either Frozen, Star Wars, Toy Story, or Wreck-it-Ralph.
I do really want an Atlantis and Treasure Planet world in KH3 though, they've been some of my most wanted worlds for a long time :)

If this movie was able to make it as a Kingdom Hearts world...
Then anything made by Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures and Disney Animation is possible. Honestly, you would have to really dig the bottom of the Disney treasure trove to even consider a Direct-to-DVD property as a contender for a Kingdom Hearts world.

Personally, this Heartless gives me Treasure Planet and The Emperor's New Groove vibes. Treasure Planet itself is filled with coins, and look to be where this Heartless derives from.

But then again, with the Aztec theme of Emperor's New Groove, I can see this Heartless coming from that world too.

"Final information" was not something Nomura said, but was what the translator decided to use.
I'm still holding hope deep in my heart we'll get an Oz world. I know Oz isn't huge for Disney these days, but a world based on Return to Oz has been on my wishlist since KH2 became a reality.
Wheeler and Nome Heartless....it just makes me so excited. I'd be satisfied with some references at least.
five days left until the kh3 news i thinking it going be a popular ip

Yay, I'm so happy to see someone other than me who wants Return to Oz in Kingdom Hearts! *high fives*

Disney has like a million popular IPs. You're gonna have to be more specific lol
It will have to be an popular ip that enables bold and flashy action. xD

lol sorry either toy story or Star Wars worst case is frozen
I'm sorry, why is Frozen "the worst case scenario"? Is it because of Tai Yasue's hypothetical idea of it being a musical world?

i mean i could see the marbel being in the middle becase they have a ot games to cover plus happing kh3 give nomura more time to abou stuff before he shows trailer
Or Marvel can close the show with Insomniac's Spider-Man, just like they did with the Sony show <3.
There's three IP's on display, correct? Star Wars, Marvel, and Kingdom Hearts. In an ideal world, they'd all get 20 minutes but you know which one of these will get shafted in order for a more extended look at other games *cough*Star Wars*/cough*. Nomura doesn't even need to talk about anything on stage either. He always saves info for the interviews after. They just need Kaori to go out there with Hashimoto, introduce the trailer, then discuss how the new world fits into Kingdom Hearts 3's plot.

i really don't think spider-man game will there if it is i will be surprise sine it a sony ip more then marvel after all. As for star wars yeah will get shafted for sure since kh 3 got shafted last time at d23 plus i think nomura going to introduce the world and trailer sine he said he going to be there plus i think he go to talk about more then the trailer and the world
When Nomura says "I'm going to be there", very very very rarely does that translate to "I'll be on stage". He's no doubt going to be back stage and doing interviews with the press and that's it.
What other Marvel games are out there? TellTale's "Guardian's of the Galaxy"? Some cheap mobile games? The Square Enix game is still 5 months away from re-reveal so what else can they show?

If they introduce an Incredibles world I don't need to see anymore . Kingdom hearts 3 will be a 10 for me if that happens.
I'm hyped for the D23 trailer, should be a good one! Can't wait to see what worlds and scene they're going to show us.

That's nigh on impossible. They already have a superhero themed world in an urban setting, two would be overkill.
Especially announcing another one back to back.
At least reveal a few unrelated worlds first before you announce another similar themed one.
