Kingdom Hearts in Famitsu Weekly, scans uploaded


DChiuch

We finally have high quality scans of the Kingdom Hearts article in the July 28 issue of Famitsu Weekly. I'm sure you've already read about the Tetsuya Nomura interview, where he reveals Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance details (all of this is below, please check it out), so I'll get right onto the scans. These were uploaded by our staff member, sqexgal, and can be seen below in our gallery thanks to her. Enjoy!

- Whether we’ll release an HD remake or not is another story, however we are considering doing an HD upgraded version of one of the past titles.

 

That's gotta be BbS. With the new line of PSP HD remasterings, it's gotta be.

 

Then that will make BBS the most worked on KH game, but I have no problem with that. I at least expected KH1, KH2, and BBS to be remastered.

That was not as much as I expected.

 

But it's better than nothing.

 

I can tell this game will be confusing becasue I couldn't even understand this interview.

 

There will be "????" it the sky at Traverse Town?

- The current Xehanort saga will end in KH3. There are tentative plot ideas for after that too. The main character won’t change, it’ll be Sora.

I would prefer another hero to start a new journey with. Sora can't be the only person one to save the worlds all the time. It makes me worry about the VA for him too. We don't know if Haley Osment is dedicated enough to stick with being Sora's VA after the Xehanort saga. It wouldn't be the same with someone else.

- Traverse Town with “????” and “????” are shown, showing a character raising steadily from the top of a building.

Can't wait to get the scans of this ^^

I hope maybe after KH3, Sora will be older? And there will be a totally new type of plot? C:

 

Um, that's what happens when there is a new saga.

Yeah, I'm taking this off of KHInsider, but they have literal translations that have some interesting info.

Here's a bit of the interview with Nomura:

 

Were there any adjustments to the story for international players?

 

Nomura: I believe that if something's interesting enough people will accept it, so we didn't pay conscious attention to specific regions. But Disney did tell us it had a "Japanese feeling", which I guess you could call an "Oriental way of thinking" (laughs). Also, in terms of storyline, I was thinking of making it simpler and clearer, but Sakaguchi-san (Hironobu Sakaguchi) gave me a single piece of advice for the KH series. That was, "If you don't make it a little more complex, like FF, you won't be able to compete." I prefer to leave the players scope for imagination and guessing, so I decided to develop the game in that way.

 

Will 3D also have an enigmatic storyline?

 

Nomura: It's quite difficult to understand. Right now we're putting the story into the Disney scenarios, and it seems like once through won't be enough to understand it. As for the individual mysteries, they'll explain some of the reasons and connections with the game's scenario. We also need approval from overseas, so we're putting in localisation along the way, which is hard work. But there are those on the Disney side who love KH too, and they have a detailed understanding of the scenario, and have been following closely.

 

---

 

At the moment, how far along is development of 3D?

 

Nomura: About 40~50%. Soon we'll start recording voices. The theme this time is "bold action", but I also want to seriously consider the pacing of the story. From this survey I can see that the storyline is a highly anticipated part of the game, but I don't want it to be too drawn-out.

 

So will you be reducing the number of game events?

 

Nomura: It's not like that. Just that when something happens, if you explain everything from square one you weaken the pacing. So we're introducing a new system to avoid that. In FF Versus XIII we've removed the cutscenes, letting players continue playing through game events, and here we're going in a different direction again. Also, in 3D Sora fights alongside some strange companions. We're planning to put together a secret movie, so look forward to that.

The "Sora fights alongside some strange companions" is interesting. I wonder if that's tied with the two XXXX figures.

I meant like.. older. xD 18 or older.

 

I think they would want to keep Sora as young as possible. A year after KH3.

I'm just saying.. it be cool if ???? and ???? were some combination of Roxas/Xion and Ven/Aqua. My bet is Roxas and Xion.

 

They said it would be new chracters.

You sure..? I haven't seen that anywhere.

 

I believe I read it somewhere in this site that they are not yet introduced characters.

I was happy to read people at Disney love this series, lucky them that they get to know the storyline before anyone else. xD

"I was able to play a little of the demo version. You can play in the familiar Traverse Town world. Two characters whose names aren’t revealed yet are there. The bright bursts from the battles are even more illuminating than before. You’ll be able to climb up buildings. The battle system is large scale and has a flashy action style, it has a fun feeling. I’m surprised that the party members will be characters who haven’t appeared before. I think it seems the [main] battle opponent won’t be Heartless or Nobody."

 

:'o ... It's... it's beautiful! :'D

 

So the party members are new characters?! Sweet! The battle system is on a large scale, and it has action and fun?! Even more sweet! The new enemy ISN'T a Heartless or a Nobody! ULTRA SWEET~!

lol I thought you read the whole entire article.

 

Lol yeah I usually skip over them... however, I actually did read this bit. However I interpreted "havent been revealed yet", as, simply that their names have not yet been revealed.. not that it's an actual new character, if you understand me.
