Tetsuya Nomura comments on gaming and Kingdom Hearts

The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation has included an interview with 55 game creators. Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, was one of these creators, and he has shared his thoughts on gaming and Kingdom Hearts in 5 interview questions.
SQEX.INFO have translated this portion of the interview, and thanks to them, this can be read below.
Q1. What titles have left an impression on you, outside of your own works? Nomura: Titanfall.
Q2. What about it left an impression?
Nomura: The high presence, realistic battles utilizing extraordinary, giant robots.
Q3. Do you have a message regarding memories of your works and plans for upcoming titles?
Nomura: Mainly that Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix came out this year, and I tried participating proactively in an overseas event, but I was even more pleased to experience the fan’s excitement for myself. Here as well at D23 Expo Japan, I got to stand in front of fans again after such a long absence, and was happy that the fan’s fervor wasn’t outdone by the overseas experience. We are still preparing to release Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix next year, but we’ll continue working our hardest on Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 as well.
Q4. Besides games, what are you most interested in next year and why?
Nomura: Obviously, I think there will be a trend towards new hardware systems. You can’t predict what players will think until they’ve used the new systems, so once we know, I expect that the player’s opinions will partly influence the titles currently being developed.
Q5. What are your thoughts on the 2013 gaming market and prospects regarding the future?
Nomura: I think that the current gen will push the social market trend for another year and next year onward the future of the consumer market will be decided by the next generation hardware. I have a multifunctional hybrid market in mind, something that interacts with other devices, etc.

Official KH13 Tumblr relaunched

We have relaunched the official Tumblr for KH13.com, to go along with our existing Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts. Here, will we repost any Kingdom Hearts news, and often update with interesting Kingdom Hearts-related images-- whether it be fan-art, screens from the game, or something completely different. We hope you enjoy this.
Official KH13 Tumblr
Even if you were following the old KH13 Tumblr (which has now been moved here), you will have to follow the new one again. This is because we had to completely remake the Tumblr, as the old one was set up as a primary blog, and we needed a secondary blog so that we could have multiple staff members running it-- which brings us to our next announcement.
Both RoxSoxKH and Xeveemon from KH13 will initially be in charge of the Tumblr, so make sure to thank them for all of their hard work!

Disney confirms that "Kingdom Hearts Online" is being worked on

Earlier in the year, we reported that South Korean publication INews24 had announced that a South Korean game studio, "Studio EX", was working on something that they referred to as "Kingdom Hearts online game"-- an official Kingdom Hearts title for both smartphones and the web.
At the time, we assumed that this was referring to the then upcoming Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. However, Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] was later confirmed to be developed by Success Corporation in Japan. So, what is the "Kingdom Hearts online game" developed by Studio EX? Today, departing Disney executive John Pleasants had an interview with WSJ, confirming the game's existance.
John Pleasants: We have a studio in Seoul working on “Kingdom Hearts Online.” Looks like this title is different to Kingdom Hearts χ[chi], and is still in development!

Nomura interviewed by Famitsu, discusses Kingdom Hearts III & Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX

The latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, releasing on October 24, 2013, has contained an interview with the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. Here, Nomura discusses both Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, revealing new details about the upcoming titles.
Although the full interview has not yet appeared online, @aibo_ac7 has been supplying major details from the interview, and SQEX.INFO have translated these details. This can be read below.
- We’re doing our best to brush up Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 as much as possible, even more than 1.5. - The Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer showed in game footage, but it’s not in a condition where viewers can fully grasp it. We’re going to improve the quality much more still.
- In the trailer you see 3 of Sora’s new moves, and they demonstrate the 2 attack systems. First is Keyblade transformation, and second is the Disney attraction inspired moves.
- The Keyblade transformations will vary for each different Keyblade, their styles as well.
- Attractions are an evolution of KH3D’s Flowmotion. You can choose which move you want to use against enemies on the spot.
- Even during an enemy outbreak, Sora’s attacks perform naturally. These new actions are just a fraction of Kingdom Hearts 3‘s new components.
Update: SQEX.INFO have translated the full interview segment, and this translation can be read below.
It’s a privilege to be apart of today’s event, the first D23 Expo Japan. The last time I stood in front of fans was for the premier presentation of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, so it’s been a long time. I was moved by everyone’s excited response. If I have the chance I’d like to do this sort of thing again. I wanted to put out the information for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 and Kingdom Hearts 3 quickly for those who couldn’t attend, so we made the trailers public online. Since they’re both still in production, the trailers are short, but I hope that fans enjoy them. We are brushing up Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 even more that 1.5, even the staff is doing their best to improve it as much as possible.
Also, this is the first time that KH3 was shown using in-engine footage, but it’s not in a condition where viewers can fully grasp it. We’re going to improve the quality much more still after this. In the trailer you see 3 of Sora’s new moves, and they demonstrate the 2 attack systems, the first being Keyblade transformation. The Keyblade transformation is different for each Keyblade, and the battle style changes as well.
The second is the Disney attraction inspired Attraction Flow. Attraction Flow is an evolution of Kingdom Hearts 3D’s Flowmotion. With Attraction Flow, you can choose which move you want to use against which enemies on the spot, and even during an enemy outbreak you control Sora’s attacks. These new actions are just a fraction of Kingdom Hearts 3′s new components, so please wait for information hereafter.
