In the latest issues of Famitsu Weekly and Dengeki PlayStation, Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the Kingdom Hearts series has talked about the plot for Kingdom Hearts III. Nomura confirmed he is still deciding on the ending and Secret Movie for the game, and also re-confirmed that Kingdom Hearts III will finish the fight with Xehanort, but will not be the end of the Kingdom Hearts series.

 

Thanks to @htmk73 for the interview summary, and to goldpanner for translating this interview summary into English, Nomura's comments can be read below:

[Asked about the game scenario]

 

Nomura: Since KH3 was to settle the final confrontation with Xehanort the general framework was already decided, but it's not the end of the KH series.

 

Nomura: I'm worrying over how to bring KH3 to a close. I have already decided on my plans for the directions of the characters fans care about. I don't want to make something too short that only settles the main dispute.

 

[Asked about the development stage]

 

Nomura: It's moving along steadily. I'm currently deciding what to do about the ending and secret movies and such.

What do you expect for the end of Kingdom Hearts III, and the future of the series? Will the game's Secret Movie provide a hint at a future title, or will it just bring more closure to the game's plot? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Definitely a new game, Sora is still gonna be the protagonist moving forward, the Xehanort saga is just ending

Ugh......... InB4 i see the whole Final Fansty line up in the next saga. :I

So no ending decided yet ? I thought he said in 2014 that he'd finished writing KHIII plot.

Oh, dear, more unanswered questions...

Maybe the Secret Ending will be hinting some new information about the sixth apprentice and his legacy.

So no ending decided yet ? I thought he said in 2014 that he'd finished writing KHIII plot.

It did say that he was still deciding the ending. It's possible that he wrote a lot of ways to end KH3, and is deciding which one would be best,

Don't toy with us, Nomura. Don't pull any 'heroic sacrifice' stuff and (thinks of Terra, Ven, Aqua, Roxas, Xion, and Namine) don't mess with any of our babies. DON'T DO IT.

Nomura , you'd better find the secret ending soon ...

Gosh darn it Nomura.

I hope he kills everyone that wasnt in Kingdom Hearts 1 lol

OMG, I can't wait to see what happens in the end. I'm hoping for something like the KH2FM Secret Ending. A battle scene with completely new characters that is going to make people ask: "WHAT IS GOING ON!?"

Anything short of MX either ending up trapped in some "torment" of his own or dying a completely broken man will make me finally rage-quit the series for good.

So no ending decided yet ? I thought he said in 2014 that he'd finished writing KHIII plot.

A plot is basically a synopsis of a series main points. How much it's fleshed out will vary. 

Mickey sending them a letter please no :tongue:.

I'm just wondering if KH3 is not the end, how far they'll create KH series?

I am hoping for some hints of the new enemy during the journey of KHIII, secret boss related to that enemy and a secret ending having more information about that enemy to let people start guessing.

Come on, we all know that KHIII won't be the end of KH series so we obviously gonna face a new enemy after Xehanort's saga and such idea will be brilliant to make in KHIII.

I hope he kills everyone that wasnt in Kingdom Hearts 1 lol

thats more then half the cast o.o

Hopefully the secret ending gives us a glimpse of the villain in the next Saga. 

He better not make alternative secret endings or alternative endings as DLC like FFXIII-2....

Nomura is so Skittsoul, teasing and teasing until we can't take it anymore and then BOOM.

 

No on ecna unorgasm themselves when them trailers come out.

Yep, it's time to move on, especially since there's now nothing left to like about MX (At least Leonard Nimoy gave him cool lines and screentime.).

I have already decided on my plans for the directions of the characters fans care about. 

 

You better not mess with my waifu, Nomura. Treat her good u hear ◕ ‿ ◕✿

And don't let aqua suffer

Oh God....oh good God....oh frickin frackin yes!!!!  We've got a secret movie confirmed, since Nomura said that he's working on it!  Gahhh, I'm so psyched!  I wonder how Nomura will end up writing the ending and secret movie of the game, though?  Ooh, this is going to be good!  I don't even know what to expect!  Nomura, you sly fox, I know you'll surprise us with whatever you have cooked up in that marvelous brain of yours! :')
