Message from Tetsuya Nomura

 

If I had to pick, I am a person more on the dark side like Xehanort and co., I harness the burning anger in my heart into what I create. Kingdom Hearts III’s current development explodes very much in this sense. Each time, it’s a battle with Sora and co. who are the exact opposite of myself, it’s been over 10 years and yet we haven’t reached a conclusion.

 

This battle will surely last longer.

 

In Kingdom Hearts III as well, I am scheming many challenges that Sora and his friends must overcome, because I myself cannot lose either. And in preparation for the great battle that lies ahead, we have this one book that looks back on their entire journey.

 

When I think about it, I had an explosive mindset when I made the first Kingdom Hearts as well.

 

Thus when I look back at all the material, I feel that fever again. Fans who will continue the journey so far alongside Sora and his friends will also recall their own feverish enthusiasm. With that passion, we will not lose to darkness, and Sora’s journey will continue onwards.

 

The journey still continues, but I would be overjoyed if you stuck with us until the very end.

I will stick with you 'till the end. =)

This message almost scared me in the beginning part but, after I read it all, I was moved :'D

This message is just reeking of cheese but I cant help but love it.

Oh God, this motivates me for Kingdom Hearts III even more!  THAT'S IT, NOMURA WILL BE A SECRET BOSS IN THE GAME!  HE'LL BE ONE OF THE NEW VILLAINS OF THE NEXT SAGA, I'M CALLING IT RIGHT NOW!  Lol, but wow though, this message is really inspiring.  You can tell he really has a passion for making the Kingdom Hearts games!  And all these challenges and what not that he's scheming Sora and the others to overcome...oh God, this will be frickin sweet.  Gah, I am ever more excited for Kingdom Hearts III!

Like we're going to say no? X)

Xehanort is Nomura or Nomura is Xehanort lol

Isn't "Lord Nomura-sama" a little redundant? "Sama" is already how you address your superiors in Japanese, is it not?

My reaction from the first and second sentence: "Well, darn Nomura!" LOL 

 

I'll continue loving Kingdom Hearts though. It's the reflection of my childhood after all, with all of the Disney movies I've seen, combining my interest into Final Fantasy.

Now that is a message to the fans if I've ever read one.

"The journey still continues, but I would be overjoyed if you stuck with us until the very end."

Reading the first sentence I was like "Aww hell, don't tell me he's gonna do something horrible to Kairi." 

After reading it, I'm still not sure what to think, and I'm still scared what he has in mind for the future.

awww

That's so sweet.

*COUGHS LOUDLY*

I'm kinda afraid of what that man has in mind

SEE??! Even the great Nomura himself is on the villain's side!!!

 

And ya'll called me a fool....hmph! We shall see. *Sips Orange Fanta*

That was deep!

I am a person more ont he dark side like xehanort and coThirteenth Darkness is Nomura, confirmed

Then let the Darkness win....the good guys always win. Darkness is superior.

Well it would be kinda an interesting plot twist (considering on how many letters make up his name)  

Isn't "Lord Nomura-sama" a little redundant? "Sama" is already how you address your superiors in Japanese, is it not?

"Sama" is a markedly more respectful version of "San", which is appropriate for Mr. Nomura (courtesy of this weblink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_honorifics)
