•The keywords and ambition for 2018

FF 30th Anniversary’s conclusion, and take a new leap!

 

In 2018, I will finally celebrate my 60th birthday! Year of the dog, year of the youth! It feels like a rupture. I will continue to do my best in the future.

 

I think that more and more main titles will pile up. I am looking forward to E3 2018.

Thanks to @aibo_ac7 for the tip!

Thanks for letting us know about this, Aquaberry!

 

Hmm, so Mr. Hashimoto is pretty excited for next year, huh? That sounds promising! It seems that there may be a big update regarding FFVII Remake! Wow, and 60 years? Way to go, Shinji! Here's to many more years for ya, you old scallywag!

 

And seeing as though he's excited as heck for next year's E3, it gives me the vibe that we might get either a July, September or November release of Kingdom Hearts III!

I’m sure he is excited with so many projects of his. Hopefully he is referring to KH3, but that’s February.

November at best i think.

November at best i think.

 

Realistically speaking, I also believe November to be the most likely release month for Kingdom Hearts III! It would be awesome if we could get it on July or September, but November seems more likely!

Yeah.

Yeah.

 

The most likely way we'll find out whether November will be the release month or not is either next month's D23 or on E3 in June.
