Nomura talks Kingdom Hearts & unannounced title in Famitsu

The May 10, 2012 issue of Famitsu Weekly magazine has included an on article on Kingdom Hearts, containing an interview with the director of the series, Tetsuya Nomura. Here, Nomura discusses both Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] and a future, currently unannounced title in the Kingdom Hearts series. Thanks to Sokuho@Hokanko, who typed up a summary of the interview, and to sqexgal for translating the summary, you can read this below.

Kingdom Hearts 3D

Since the Kingdom Hearts 3D-related part of the interview contains some spoilers for the game, we will not put it on the front page-- instead, click here if you don't mind spoilers.

Kingdom Hearts series & future

- “Regarding the title’s concepts, during Kingdom Hearts there hadn’t been anything past KH2 and Chain of Memories, then after that I thought of 358/2 Days, Coded, and Birth by Sleep. Thus conceiving the ideas for titles occurs through gradual stages.”

- “Since I decided to make KH3D rather suddenly, the story I presented was rushed since it was still being planned.”

- The fragmentary texts that appear in the secret movie are tied to the story of Kingdom Hearts, however there is no telling whether it will be explored hereafter. (He avoids saying whether or not it relates to the secret movie of Birth by Sleep Final Mix.)

- (Will the next title finally be KH3?) “I’ll leave that up to you.”

- (The next title…) “Maybe it’ll be something unexpected akin to a ‘fast ball’.”

- It’ll be something “lightweight”, but he is refraining to divulge the unannounced title.

I think Kingdom Hearts is being re released because of the secret message in KH3D. I don't think there's going to be a BBS2 because I can't imagine with who we would play with and what story there would be... Also Nomura could give more clear answers, and he always says it will be revealed soon but it's usually not.

 

Coded didn't have much going for it and it got an updated ds version. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bbsv2.

We could play as Mickey and see how he got the Kingdom Key D, or play as Aqua as she travels through the Realm of Darkness and finds more lost people there.

So, Sora's just a normal boy.

Who just so happens to be able to

harbor 3 hearts without becoming emotionally unbalanced,

supply both a Nobody and Replica with power simultaneously without weakening,

contain the memories of 4 people without going insane

repeatedly forgive people who have tried to kill him and put his friends and the girl he loves in danger

and is basically connected with everyone in the KH, FF, Disney and now TWEWY universes

all with a smile on his face and a bounce in his step?!

Right.

How much you wanna bet Nomura is gonna pull another Joshua on us and tell us Sora IS Kingdom Hearts?

Remember that Director's Secret report XIII that was in the KH 2 Ultimania (i think) towards the end he mentioned 4 untold stories; Xehanort's past (BBS) Roxas' time in the Organization (358/2 Days)... that makes 2 of those stories that have been told, the remaining two stories are 'The period of Mikey's absense' (which was kinda teased in the ending of Aqua's secret episode) and 'The period of Riku's absense'; so, If nomura is preparing more KH games then i'm willing to bet that he plans to tell those two untold stories.

"Is it time for KH3?"

"I'll leave that up to everyone's imagination. Though it may be a curve ball."

WTF is that supposed to mean?! Just tell us if KH3 is the next f#$%&@ game!!!! D:

I am glad that there was some talk of character development and not just game mechanics.

There's many way you can take what he had said about the "curve ball" part.,

Some people think they're still gonna make KH 3. Others have thought of the term "lightweight" as in something that will not be depressing like some people said. I highly doubt there's gonna be another mobile game but we'll just have to see. When I think of what he said about the term "curve ball " I wonder if it could be something in the future. An aftermath of the events that occured in KH 3. You might think its impossible but when you think about it, it could be true. The term curve ball would be going around KH 3 if you're thinking literally. ( By that I mean if you're thinking about a literally curve ball) Or he could mean another story that isn't depressing like the past games ( sad endings ) 358/2, BBS, DDD. But we all know for sure that sooner or later, the epic conclusion will come. For all we know he could even mean KH doesn't end in 3 but with four. We will just have to find out in the future.

P.S Really happy that Lea (Axel) is a keyblade wielder.
