Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue still set for 2016 release in North America, Europe, and Japan accrding to Square Enix's Results Briefing Session for Fiscal Year 2016

There where people who doubted?

Yes, because the Japanese Trailer said releasing 2016 while the English Trailer said "Now in Development."  People were worried that it meant II.8 was getting a 2017 launch, meaning most likely KHIII in 2018.  I got a tad worried when people pointed it out, but then I remembered that we were promised it in 2016 so I stopped worrying.GRANTED, we were ALSO promised a new KH game every year, and only Japan got KHUX last year, N.A. did not.  But then again, I've come to realize that MOST of Square's announcements concerning KH are directed at their Japanese fanbase with the rest of the world being a passing glance.  They're getting better at including the rest of the world, but not always.Annnnnyyy way, I'm still hoping for a KHIII 2017 release.  I've kind of given up on the idea that it'll release this year (still hoping Square will surprise us though).  I firmly believe we'll get KHIII Third Quarter/Holiday season 2017 and if NOT I don't see it going past March 2018.  These are just my thoughts and feelings on it though.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 could be the series first simultaneous release.  Crossing my fingers hard for this to happen.  

Pokémon and Kingdom Hearts does always release in the same time.

They are connected .
