Multiplayer interviews Tetsuya Nomura, discusses Kingdom Hearts III at E3 2015 & potential appearance at Tokyo Game Show

Recommended Posts

Multiplayer, an Italian website got the opportunity to interview Tetsuya Nomura, director of the Kingdom Hearts series and asked him questions. During the interview they mainly discuss Kingdom Hearts III at E3 2015 as well as the future for Kingdom Hearts III. Multiplayer also asked Nomura if Kingdom Hearts III will appear at the Tokyo Game Show 2015. He stated that he cannot say for sure, giving the possibility of Kingdom Hearts III news at the Tokyo Game Show 2015. Below you can read a translation of the interview thanks to KH13 Archives Team member Everglow.

Q: Kingdom Hearts III has been officially announced two years ago, what has changed in the game development since E3 2013?

 

Nomura: That trailer was actually a prototype running on a different graphic engine. The "definitive" version is what was shown at this year's E3, with a lot of graphic features greatly improved like special effects and maps size.

 

Q: How is going to be the game in terms of structure? Can we expect a better integration between technical elements?

 

Nomura: Even if the structure is not comparable to open world titles, it is definitely a lot bigger and more sophisticated than the previous Kingdom Hearts titles. To begin with, loading times will be reduced; in the previous games, when reaching the end of a specific area, a black transition screen used to show up so it could load the next area. Now, everything is much more fluid and integrated, as we can see in the trailer when Sora jumps off the mountain. There will be much more interaction with the scenario. For instance, when using magic, the area surrounding Sora - like grass and other elements - will be influenced by the air movements.

 

 

Q: Usually, how do you choose the worlds to be implemented in Kingdom Hearts?

 

Nomura: In some cases we receive suggestions from Disney themselves, but the priority is given to the staff since they have to implement the game mechanics and the world itself, along with all the difficulties and adaptations. However, we have such a big list of worlds and elements to choose... it gives us headache. [laughs]

 

 

Q: Alright... how long do we have to wait for new info or gameplay? will there be something at the Tokyo Game Show?

 

Nomura: I can't say that, but we'll show new worlds very soon. We'll be at D23 and there will be new info.

Would you like Kingdom Hearts III to appear at the Tokyo Game Show 2015? Let us know in the comments below!

I swear, they're asking the same questions.

 

Different reporters coincidentally end up having similar/same questions.

 

I'm personally playing it safe and expecting it not to be present for the Tokyo Game Show.

A week ago, I was confident the next bit of info would come out of D23 Japan Expo in November, but now? Nomura keeps saying things like "very soon", and how he was shocked by how soon Disney wanted to reveal the next world. Besides a random magazine reveal, the next potential event would be D23 at California in August, could he be talking about that? Last California D23 (in 2013), they didn't have anything for KH3, but they did have a couple of televisions set up for people to try  a HD 1.5 ReMix demo (which hadn't come out by that point). I don't know why, but it seems like Disney is getting really involved in KH3, unlike the non-numbered titles.Could we really get something in August!?!?!?!? O.o

If the marketing leader for Disney and Walt Disney Animation Studios Producer Roy Conli (who produced Tangled, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Treasure Planet and Big Hero 6) were willing to get involved with the E3 reveal for Kingdom Hearts 3: it has a good possibility of appearing for America's D23!

I'm willing to bet that Nomura's definition of "very soon" is way different than ours.

Come to think about it... you're probably right  :sad: Nomura-san probably lives in a different dimension of time in which probably goes 2 years slower than ours.  :lol:

Why is he even saying very soon if he's going to reveal new info at D23 Japan? I need more new info now!! I need to know if we're returning to the World that Never Was or Castle Oblivion! Edited by KeybladeLordSora

I'm going to be the obscure company and state that The End Of The World from Kingdom Hearts will return in for the third official instalment. I can see it as a response to Xehanort inadvertently destroying the Disney worlds involves in Kingdom Hearts 3 in achieving the hearts of the Disney worlds.

Now that I think about it, how about all three of them return?!

Why not, Tetsuya Nomura can easily find a way to weave all of them into the game (with his convoluted imagination).
