Prior to the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX launch event for North America, Square Enix kindly offered for Kingdom Hearts fansites to interview the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. Churro attended the event on behalf of KHUltimania and KH13, and was given the chance to ask Nomura questions about HD 2.5 ReMIX in a group interview with KHInsider. With a big thanks to Square Enix for the opportunity, Churro for making it all the way to the event and asking questions, and to KHI for writing up the transcript, here is our group interview:
 
 
Update: Part 2 of Churro's interview with Tetsuya Nomura is now available. Nomura discusses the possibility of a HD remaster of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and that Kingdom Hearts Re:coded HD Cinematic Story Video connected to Kingdom Hearts χ[chi].
 
You can read it below with a big thanks to Churro, and to KHI for the transcript.
 
At the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX North American launch event at the Walt Disney Studio Lot in Burbank, California, Square Enix has shown new Kingdom Hearts III footage and revealed that they will release new information in 2015. The new footage showed concept art, new Heartless designs, a huge town titled Cable Town with Sora in a library/study room and new gun Keyblade attacks for Sora. Sora was shown in various Kingdom Hearts II outfits including Valor and Wisdom form. To expand on the gun Keyblade attacks, Sora's Keyblade transforms into dual guns and then transforms into a cannon. Chi was also written on a blackboard in the study room, this may be related to Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] but this is simply speculation. Thanks go to @churroz for the information.
 
Update: Siliconera has posted their impressions of the footage. They reveal that Yoko Shimomura, composer of the Kingdom Hearts series was also at the event and performed a couple of the series' most famous songs. They have also included what Heartless they believe were shown. You can read them below.
 
 
 
Update 2: Square Enix has told those who attended the event that the footage was only intended for those who attended the North American and European launch events and that more information will be revealed in 2015. This is likely due to the footage still being quite raw. Thanks go to @churroz for the tip.
