Square Enix will be releasing three 15-second commercial sometime on Friday, December 21st (JST). Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura didn't provide an exact time on his tweet back on December 7th. Please note that this could change.

This is the 2nd wave of commercials that Nomura has shown over the past week. A 30-second cinematic commercial was shown for Japanese movie theaters back on the 16th and the Final Battle trailer was revealed on the 17th. 

We will keep you updated. 

UPDATE [Dec 21, 2018]: The commercials have been released!

The commercials were privatized before being made public again due to some unintentional content present in the third commercial. As per our spoiler policy, we will not be reporting on the specifics of the removed content.

We have also included translations to Kingdom Hearts III director Tetsuya Nomura's tweets [1, 2, 3], thanks to Goldpanner.

The first commercial has been dubbed as the "Friend" version.

Quote

[CM1] Evening. We are about to post the 3 different TV commercials. If I paste the links into one post only one video will show, so I hope you don't mind me posting them separately. First is the "Friend" version. -Nomura

 

 

The second commercial is the "Battle" version.

Quote

[CM2] Next is the "Battle" version. These 3 commercials will begin airing on broadcast TV from early January next year, but on Dlife they will be showing up from midnight. -Nomura

 

The third commercial is the "Story" version.

Quote

[CM3] Last is "Story". WRT CMs, on top of the 30s & 3x 15s there is now suddenly 1 more coming, though editing hasn't started. More info is coming, so please wait for various upcoming official announcements. Ok, see you various upcoming times. -Nomura

 

According to Nomura's last tweet, another promotional video for Kingdom Hearts III is planned for release! According to the wording of the tweet, it seems this will be another commercial.

UPDATE [Dec 23, 2018]: We now have translations for some new lines from the three commercials! Thanks go to KH13 Staff @Mio-chan and Solis, and @aitaikimochii, who translated the lines from "Story"!

IKR ! Yep. Yep he does.  If they referenced this fact by having them both do it at the same time, I'd die happy!

I think they might just do that.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm really psyched for this game but I'm strangely going to miss waiting with everyone and seeing everybody's reactions to the trailers

Oh yeah, definitely! A huge part of what has made the hype for Kingdom Hearts III as insane as it's been is the wait and the excitement and the speculation and trailers and interviews and whatnot! I have followed this game's development since it was announced back in 2013, and it has been one hell of a ride! Now, we'll finally see the culmination of Nomura's work on the Xehanort Saga! It all ends here!

Kairi: "This battle will be different than the others."

 

that line  coming from Kairi just feels so wrong.

They are preparing for a war after all, which hits hard even more.

Yeah I get that but wouldn’t I be more fitting coming from a charafter who actually had reason to say it like  Riku and not someone whose been a damsel like twice already and didn’t even fight before?

True. I just thought you meant it in a way like it made you sad she was saying it. My bad.
