Crap

I'm okay with that really... Looking at their development stage atleast they gave us a teaser trailer. But still I wanted to see more stuff!

First FFXV, now this?What's next? 

Maybe they are lying

What was the point of releasing a teaser trailer only a few days before the biggest gaming convention of the year? Pointless.

Square Enix, y u do this to us?

Oh well, the KH3 teaser at the end of the 2.5 trailer was enough for me for now.

First FFXV, now this?What's next? 

 

Same interview actually.

Jokes aside, I'm only slightly disappointed. I didn't really expect any KHIII news and unless SE is lying, which I doubt, the only disappointing thing is how late the 2.5 release date is, and that only because it could have been sooner, but I'm not complaining.

Doggone it, Square Enix! I almost thought that you would show more T.T.

I'm pretty sure that they will have some KH3 info next year. I was hoping it might come out next year, since that would be its 13th anniversary, but with with the release of FFXV being probably some time late next year, that is now an impossibility. However, they will almost certainly have info about it at next year's E3.

I don't care. The teaser trailer is enough for me

 

 

Besides I have lots of collecting/Playing/watching to do with both kh and other series to keep me busy

Great to finally get another teaser... but no new footage for E3? I mean, I don't mean to sound greedy, but it has been a year since the game was revealed, you'd think they'd have made just a little progress in that time?

Frankly I'm not surprised. In one of the previous interviews Nomaru did say that the announcement was pre-mature. They only did it to build up the hype for the new console generation. Hopefully we might get a bit more info later in the year. For now I'm perfectly happy with the mysterious teaser. We haven't had one of those in years.

There goes the change to be a 13th anniversary release.

Guess they will do this for DDD then or a Theatrhythm.

At least this probably means we'll have more time to save up for a PS4... (Not that I'm getting one. I don't think...)

Smfh its bad enough we get a late release date on kh2.5 but to make it even worse it's not even a simultaneous release. I mean I don't understand the last time there was a final mix no other country got it but Japan so im positive the countries who've only seen the videos online will definitely be anticipating this game alot more. And that trailor was nothing great. They took scenes from the original games and gave them english voices oh wow. Id say the only work they put into the game that's original were the re coded cutscenes and that teaser which was pretty weak in my opinion. Its like square is preparing kh3 as a spin off based off of the master of master xehanort and master ariqus. Wheres the gameplay we've been waiting a year to see? Hopefully Tetsuya has something up his sleeves the way he was telling us to be excited for e3 late last year and early this year because a collectors edition of games we've already seen before and random dialogue doesn't really do much to impress me.

They might be holding back until TGS in September or some other gaming event after E3

Kinda bummed by the news, but at least we got a teaser trailer.
