Besides giving us a good look at Kingdom Hearts III's gameplay, Sunil also talked about some new details about the game.
Sunil started out by talking about the Toy Box world and the fact that this was the first title in the series on Xbox.
After showing off the transformation for the Tangled Keyblade, Mirage Staff, Sunil commented on the number of Keyblade transformations in the game.
Sunil also commented on world-specific bosses and whether we'll find out about them before launch.
When using a Gigas for the first time, Sunil commented on the number of tutorials and user accessibility.
One of the most exciting bits of information from this interview came when Sunil went into detail about the purpose of Hidden Mickeys within the game.
The demo then ended after the battle against the Gigas, with Sunil finishing up by talking about how excited he and Square Enix are about finally releasing Kingdom Hearts III.

In regards to his approach in directing Kingdom Hearts III, Nomura said he hasn't changed much, not unlike in his previous interview with Donaldson back in 2013.
Nomura also spoke about seeing the positives of working with Disney's restrictions.
Infact, the Pixar team working on Kingdom Hearts III had a lot of praise for Kingdom Hearts III's development team during the Kingdom Hearts III Premiere Event. Tasha Sounart, the Associate Creative Director at Pixar Animation Studios, and the Pixar Story Supervisor Jason Katz, spoke about the success of Toy Story's and Monsters, Inc.'s representation in the game being owed to the efforts spent in the back and forth between the studio and Square Enix.
When Nomura was asked about what Kingdom Hearts III would have been like it had it been developed for the previous generation of consoles, Nomura replied that he hadn't given it any thought. He simply talked about how the development team worked to make new players and those who have forgotten the series' previous experience catch up to the story in Kingdom Hearts III. He stated that recap videos will be added at the start of the game, along with other elements throughout the game to further players' understanding of the story.
Nomura said that the quality, size, and depth of each world is prioritized over the overall world count, and that was greatly achieved through expanding them vertically. It is still not possible to make a simple comparison between the size of Kingdom Hearts III's worlds to the previous games' ones.
Nomura also referred to Gummi Ships to have "symbolic significance" in the series, and restated that Gummi Ship levels in Kingdom Hearts III will have a higher resemblance to an RPG world map and include exploration and detailed customization.
Nomura concluded the interview by acknowledging that fans have a lot to expect and look out for in the final instalment of the Xehanort saga.

The event will start at 6:30 PM JST (5:30 AM EDT) and will be live-streamed.
There is a possibility that Kingdom Hearts III will make an appearance during the event. If a new trailer is revealed, then it could be Big Hero 6, as Nomura said in an interview in June that Big Hero 6 could be the next reveal in a future trailer.
Could this be the place where we will see a new trailer? Let us know in the comments below!

Lucca Comics & Games attendees will be able to access to two playable demos on a floor space located in Villa Bottini, which already featured the presence of other Square Enix showcases in the past editions, featuring a boss battle against the Rock Titan from Hercules and the Toy Box world from Toy Story alongside Woody and Buzz.
Visitors can also take part in multiple activities in the surrounding park, including picture opportunities with a giant Keyblade, although it is still not confirmed if it will feature the same Andy's room (Toy Story) setting, which will be instead available at Gamescom 2018.
