Here's the thing guys, video game making is not as clear cut as you think. I know you'd LOVE to believe that the moment Versus XIII is over Nomura will just snap his fingers and KH3 will begin development. It doesn't work that way.
Additionally, shut up about Versus holding up KH3. Why? Because it's an EXCUSE.
Square Enix clearly doesn't want to make KH3 yet, so they applied a false limitation on themselves to 'explain' why they 'couldn't'
That is, they blamed Versus. You might say "Oh, the KH team is busy making Versus, they can't make KH3!" But that's really REALLY misleading. First of all, there's no reason why people can't work on two games at once. Additionally, there's no reason why a new team, or a previous team, can't make KH3.
And Versus XIII being canceled or finished, does NOTHING to guarantee KH3 will start. I know you interpreted Nomura's words as saying that, but you need to realize that Nomura's words do not transform into reality. Square Enix has to ALLOW his projects. And KH3 is clearly going to be profitable, so I doubt they will deny it, but you know what they might do? Delay it. Create MORE hype for the game. Drive the sales right up. And all Nomura has to say is "We WANT to make KH3, but right now we're tied up making Final Fantasy Fantasy Electric XIII Boogaloo." And you guys would go right along with that.
What's the moral of this story?
KH3 will happen when it HAPPENS. No sooner, no later, and there's nothing to be done about it.
So just enjoy the ride before then, I mean, we've got plenty of other great games to play. Right?
