Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Ultimania, the official guidebook for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], released today in Japan. Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Ultimania is said to contain a lot of information and secrets about both Kingdom Hearts 3D and the future of the Kingdom Hearts series. We will keep updating this post with more information about the book as it appears.

Update 1: A post on 2ch.net has revealed some details about the interview. Thanks to FF-Reunion for the tip, Sky from KH13 has translated the details below for you.

-- Does the "Secret Message Unlocked" in KH3D hint at KHIII?

Nomura: About that, I'll leave it to your imagination. Well, you'll get the answer for that later.

-- Does the last light from the credits form "III"?

Nomura: I can't tell the details. I made that out as a way of giving my secret message.

-- KH3D FM?

Nomura: Maybe in a few years, but no plans for it right now. The Osaka team is really busy. ＼(^o^)／

-- Is BbS Volume 2 = BbS2?

Nomura: I used "A Fragmentary Passage" without regard to its context. What I mean is, there's a story for Volume Two, without using that scene. I can't say there isn't a possibility of making it, but there are no plans for it right now.

-- The Mysterious KH = 3D?

Nomura: We interrupted titles in 3D, and we haven't reopened that discussion yet.

Update 2: Another post on 2ch.net has revealed even more details. Sky from KH13 has translated this below.

- There are lots of familiar characters among those hidden by the black coat on the seats at "Where Nothing Gathers".

- There are hopes of using Pixar titles.

- Can't talk about time, but the new KH Series Title is already being worked on. There may be a possibility of announcements of some sort shortly.

- *KH3D spoilers, click here to view*

Update 3: bKvEBVAvUq has provided more details about what is revealed. Sky from KH13 has translated this below.

The mysterious KH: No plans about producing it. Bbs vol.2: No plans about producing it at present. Team Osaka: Currently busy with some titles. New Title for KH: Can be announced shortly.

Update 4: goldpanner has translated the summary of the Tetsuya Nomura interview from FF-Reunion. You can read this translation below.

There's an interview with Tetsuya Nomura in the KH3D Ultimania that went on sale today! From the interview:

They don't have any plans for BBSV2 right now, trust your imagination with the Secret Message, there's no plans for an FM for this title, the mystery KH project is stopped because they did KH3D, please look forward to whether the 7 lights are those 7 people, lots of things have already started happening for a new title in the KH series, and he thinks they will be able to make some kind of announcement in a relatively short time.

There you go! In the interview there's also 'impressions upon seeing the 3DS, the way we brought in free flow action, the title 3D, choosing which worlds to use, about the new black-coated people in Organisation XIII' etc. I also really really recommend 'Ask Mr Tetsu everything! Scenario Mysteries' for Nomura's detailed commentary! KH3D's Ultimania is pretty big, very much worth reading, go and buy it for sure!

Update 5: bKvEBVAvUq has provided even more details about what is revealed. Sky from KH13 has translated this below.

- Regarding the Dream Eaters' growing system: "I thought about a system where you defeat enemies and make them your allies. But instead of thinking they were enemies before, I'd rather you to love them as if you raised them from their very birth."

Why do people want BBSv2?

 

Just have Mickey explain why he did what he did in the third game. I'd rather not wait another year just to play another prequel.

 

It's time to roll out KH3. We've waited enough. I wan't another console Kingdom hearts.

 

Nomura has already said that they can't make KHIII while they don't finish Final Fantasy Versus XIII because it's the "Kingdom Hearts team" who will make KHIII, and they are busy with FFvs.XIII. Besides, if KHIII will finish the Xehanort Saga, then it makes no sense to release it AFTER KHIII, since it could very likely introduce new characters or plot points that could conflict with KHIII.

In example, Aqua meets someone else in the Realm of Darkness, and this person has not appeared in any other game before, not even KHIII. Since KHIII is going to be about saving those who are in pain, then it would be pointless to make a whole game about saving people and not saving that person. Whatever the new game may be, I'm sure it's not KHIII. Not yet.

 

When is the interview going to be translated? Do you guys already have the whole interview?

    Or they could just not ever create a new character and we can just have Mickey explain what happened with Aqua and him in the realm of darkness with a five minute cutscene.

    oh my god, yes. I wish they would just put aside Vs.13 and work on KH3. And honestly I do not and I will not buy a ps vita just to play KH (just a guess, but you know it would happen).

    The thing is, Nomura already confirmed the story exists, so I can't see him neglecting to tell it in a game, and you can't have a game with just two characters. Well, actually you can, but it wouldn't work for KH.

    And why would they do that? Final Fantasy is more popular than Kingdom Hearts, so they will priorize that.

    I said I "I wish", meaning it's extremely unlikely to happen, I just hope want it to, even though it most likely never would.

    Agree with you on Mickey, not as interested there. But I want to know what Aqua did in the realm of darkness, don't you? Especially with her seeing the castle of dreams there and all that. That's what I want to see, what happened there. How did Axel and Lea actually get accepted into the castle, what happened in Radiant Garden that awoke Xehanort's memories. This is definitely worth seeing as a game or movie, one of the two.

    I see your point, I'm just getting tired of these diversions and would like the series to end on a high note instead of being strung along for even longer.

     

    That and I'm tired of shelving out money to buy a new handheld console each time, they're getting very expensive.

    For that matter, I want to know why Terra-Xehanort stole Ansem's name and why it seems like having Eraqus' heart didn't do crap for Terra.

    So...might be a little early to ask this (all things considered), but does the Ultimania talk about the rejected ending?
