#KH13MeetUp for Los Angeles Concerts!

Some of the KH13 team are attending the "Kingdom Hearts Orchestra - World Tour -" concert in Los Angeles on the 10th & 11th of June. And after the success in London, we thought this would be another great opportunity to meet up with fans before the concert begins!
 




 
We will be meeting at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday the 10th from 5:30pm and Sunday the 11th of June from 12:30pm.
 
We'll be in a public space so even if you're going to the concert the next night or are an eager fan, feel free to pop round! We welcome all! We may also meet up with fans on other concert nights; we'll keep you posted!
 
As well as a meet up, KH13 have created a 2nd booklet to give to Yoko Shimomura (composer of Kingdom Hearts soundtrack) after the concert to show our appreciation of her musical talents in the franchise.
 
Fans who meet us at the concert hall beforehand and write a small compliment/message within the booklet, will receive an exclusive KH13 sticker! We will have 3 choices, but they will be limited!
 
Few things to note before writing in booklet:
Maybe write it out beforehand so you can just copy it in booklet on the day; we want to reduce the amount of spelling errors or mistakes as much as we can.

We’ll ask that you write in capital letters so it’s easier to understand/translate for Yoko Shimomura.
We will also be creating another short film of the meet up before the concert of what we got up to on the day! We will be taking general shots of group, but it will also let you show off cosplays and let you say why you love the franchise. Of course if you don't want to be a part of this, you can just tell us on the day. The film will hopefully be created and uploaded within the following week!
 
If you take any pics with us be sure tweet about them using the hashtag #KH13MeetUp Look forward to seeing you all there!

Addressing rumors: New Kingdom Hearts III trailer at E3 2017 and apparent release deadline set for 2018

On May 8, 2017, Twitter user José Álamo (@Jose_Strife), a reporter for the website Koi-nya, claimed to have apparent leaked information coming straight from the development team of Kingdom Hearts III (the Osaka Team). The information he provided, in a series of tweets, has been translated as follows.
 
Please keep in mind that these are unconfirmed and lack solid evidence, and have therefore been classified as rumors until proven otherwise.
 
 
He also added:
 
 
Today, he tweeted some clarifications in English due to some people being confused by his statements because of mistranslations.
 
 
KH13.com has contacted José Álamo for further clarifications.
 
José Álamo’s rumors on Kingdom Hearts III go way back to January 30, 2017, where he stated the following:
 
 
He added: “Obviously, this perfectionism from Nomura assures certain quality standards and the finished parts from the game look really good. In that sense we shouldn’t be worried. Slow, but safe.”
 
On March 16, 2017, Álamo also talked about a cancelled presentation for Kingdom Hearts III, (which has also been classified as a rumor):
 
 
José Álamo is known for having leaked a few things in the past, such as the reveal for The Last of Us Part II a week before its official announcement at PlayStation Experience 2016, and a new Fire Emblem game releasing for Nintendo Switch before the end of 2018.
He also has some other unconfirmed rumors, such as a Pokémon announcement being delayed, a new Assassin’s Creed game announcement coming up on the week of May 15, 2017, a new Animal Crossing and a new Metroid (Prime-style) games coming to the Switch before the end of 2018, and Square Enix internally discussing The World Ends With You IP.
 
It is also worth noting that in June 2016, there were some leaks in 4chan about the plot and overall game of Final Fantasy XV. Álamo stated that an inside source of his had confirmed that all those leaks were fake, but when the game released, all of those leaks turned out to be true.
 
With all this in mind, we advise our readers to take what they just read with a grain of salt, as they are all rumors at this point in time that could eventually be proven wrong.
