Hi everyone, during the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra that began during March 2017 in Japan, the voice actor of Kairi and Xion Risa Uchida came out on stage and read lines that explained back story to Kingdom Hearts III. As you may recall these we're then recorded through a video for the world tour with English subtitles. Well during a recent interview with Famitsu Nomura explained that the lines for Kairi read are actually from the script of Kingdom Hearts III itself! That's right Kairi will actually say these exact same lines to Sora in KH3 through an emotional letter. 

---In a scene, we see Lea with Kairi, who are training to become Keyblade Wielders, at a particular place. Can you tell us where this is?

Nomura: You won’t be able to go there as part of a world, but that scene is in a new location.　As the story progresses, there will be scenes weaved in showing how the both of them are doing in a sort of “Meanwhile…” style. In some of the past Orchestra concerts, we were able to hear Kairi talk about how her training was getting along. This exact monologue will be included in a scene in-game.

This gets me really excited because I can't believe we actually heard dialogue from KH3 all the way back in March 2017 even before KH3 started it's big promotional kick during E3 that year! That's quite amazing to know that we've heard this and we weren't even aware the lines would be in the game! This also means that we could potentially here Xion lines too that Risa also read. Here are both of the monologues performed as an English fan-dub by 'ohmiyamoto' as a refresher and to get the full effect!

 

             

 

             

 

An interesting bit of information is that Nomura confirmed you will get your new KH3 clothes from Yen Sid and the three fairies 

---What about Riku and Kairi's outfits?

Nomura: The tastes are partially made to align with Sora. Since Sora's main colors are red and black, I went with a blue base for Riku, with a yellow accent on his shoulder, and Kairi is mainly pink. These color schemes follow their usual designs. In this title, all the characters including Mickey get their new outfits from Yen Sid. Well, of course it's the three fairies who actually make them, as always. Because of this, I wanted some kind of element that was shared among all of their outfits - so I went with the chequered pattern.

Also Nomura confirmed that we will be hearing Elsa sing 'Let it Go' from the movie 

---It sounds like a complex situation. Now, let us ask about the trailer and new information revealed. You finally confirmed Frozen as a new world, didn't you?

Nomura: It follows the same timeline as the film, so scenes from the film play out right in front of you. "Let it Go" is going to play, too. Anna and Elsa aren't going to join the party during battle, but Marshmallow, who Elsa created with magic, will lend a hand. There's also of course a section where you must explore a maze of ice created by Larxene in the snowy mountains.

This may be unwanted by some fans but... this gives me hope that we will also see this beautiful scene unfold before our very eyes. This would be a magical moment in KH3...

 

           

 

Thanks to GoldPanner and KHInsider for the translations and information. (I posted this here because I enjoy kh13 and I found this information extremely exciting to keep quiet!) Thanks for reading!

It's so cool this scene (or scenes probably) are to be included in the game! For the Let it go part I do want to see the scene but from another perspective, that would give depth. For the Tangled scene, as much as I love that one, I'd rather have the place and moment for a fight like they did with the Ballroom in Beast's Castle.

I think Kairi reminds Lea of xion even though she may be forgotten Kairi’s light might be able to save her and aqua’s life.

It's gonna be....weird having "let it go" in there. Like is it gonna be like a mini game or is it just gonna be a cut scene? I dunno they're gonna have to do something to sell me on that world cause it's kinda a bummer we don't have any party members and I don't like mazes (how did Larxene make a maze anyway?). Like I'm sure I'll enjoy it anyway but so far it's gotta be one of the Disney worlds I'm least looking forward too. I can't wait for Larxene though.  :biggrin: 

 

Now that I'm done ranting about things nobody wants to read I'm really excited about Kairi and Lea's storyline. So even if we don't play as either of them it's nice to know they won't be completely out of the game. I'm still hoping for Kairi being playable, even if it's later in the game. I'm pretty sure Xion will be back in some way. I'm curious about what role she could potentially play.  

Oh dang, this is some exciting stuff indeed! Thanks for sharing this with us, Snow!

 

OMG, THE DIALOGUE IS GONNA BE IN THE GAME!? Now this puts exciting hype into an all new perspective! That's just crazy! Now I'm looking forward to seeing these scenes play out even more!

 

And I find that it's pretty awesome that everyone's new duds will be designed by the three fairies! They seriously have some neat fashion sense, for coming from a world that's medieval in design!

 

OOH, AND I SEE THE LIGHT WOULD BE PERFECT IN KINGDOM HEARTS III!

That's great that the dialogue is from KH3, it means they've had a lot down for a loooooong while now and what they're working on now is probably already quite solid. I want them to take their time, and it seems like they are. I can sleep easy tonight, lol.

Nomura really likes to spoil things I would rather see this happen in game, same as the Aqua reveal. The maze sounds like a really cool idea though. Idk how I feel about “let it go” though, like??? Is there any NEED for it to be in game?
