Sora's JP VA Miyu Irino to go on Hiatus 2017
They wouldn't delay an entire game (especially a big budget AAA game) that comes out in many regions just because a VA of one region is going on a hiatus, especially considering the business perspective of it. Obviously we have no idea when the game will release and what sort of VA work has been done, but I would definitely imagine that he would have talked to Square before announcing this (I am sure there is some contractual agreement with them). Either they have set up a plan to make sure he does his VA work (whether it be before or after his hiatus) or they decided that his hiatus interrupts the development schedule and are looking elsewhere. Replacing a VA is a very common practice and a lot of the time they are able to find someone who can imitate a voice very well (I personally had no idea they had switched Ansem the Wise's VA til someone brought it up). Rest assured this has no impact on the development of KH3

Favorite version of Simple and Clean?
Dead tie between KH1 intro and Ray of Hope, but I will give the slight edge to the KH1 intro simply for the nostalgia factor.

Square Enix Not Attending PSX 2016
Not surprising, their western studios have nothing to show currently, and besides FFVIIR and KH3, their Japanese studios don't have anything mainstream to show. Unless they are going for the element of surprise for the keynote, it is not surprising in the slightest that they won't be their this year.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX announced for the PlayStation 4, releasing in 2017
Holy Moley! Sora in World of FInal Fantasy, 0.2 Opening film, 1.5+2.5 on PS4 at 60fps, the FFXV Omen Trailer, the FFXV DLC announcements...Square Enix just made PGW the most relevant game show of the year!

Which is your favorite Tomb Raider game?
I've played a majority of them, and I have to say that 2013 has been my favorite. While Rise of the Tomb Raider is obviously more refined, seeing Lara 's start was an amazing thing to experience. It was a beautiful contrast to how we had seen her prior to that game. Also, I loved using the bow and arrow, barely even touched the guns.

Which non-Kingdom Hearts video game music composed by Yoko Shimomura is your favorite?
Final Fantasy XV, I listen to the Abbey Road performances daily and will pre-order the crap out of the soundtrack when Square puts it up. Although shout outs to Xenoblade & Mana, both of which have exceptional soundtracks. Shimomura is a god-sent to the world of music!

To celebrate the 18th anniversary, who is your go-to starter in Pokémon Red/Blue?
It is weird for me, because I like them all best depending on what stage they are in. As far as the starters themselves, Squirtle wins by a mile! (opinion may or may not be influenced by the tv show). As far as the "mid evolution" goes, I have always really liked Ivysaur since his evolution seems the most logical of the 3 (also really dig the design) And as far as the final form, it is hard to argue that Charizard completely knocks it out of the park (even his mega evolutions are top notch)

December: The Ultimate Month For Kingdom Hearts News?
I think people have confused things. The E3 trailer said announcements "coming winter". There is no mention of December, it was just assumed it would be because of the 2.8 release. We may very well be seeing KH3 news around January or February (or even wait till March like Nomura has hinted).

Which dormant Japanese game franchise would you like to see at TGS?
Chrono would be nice but I doubt they would ever touch that series again. Chrono Cross is an exceptional game and even that game gets pretty bashed because of the name it bears. That being said, I would lose my freaking mind if Sony would finally smart up and make another Legend of Dragoon game! That game is begging to be a franchise and could have easily surpassed Final Fantasy.

Playstation 4 pro
I will be getting one even though my current ps4 is just fine. I do have an 4K tv and I would like to get the most out of it as I can. Plus the fact that FFXV will have Pro support, I want to play that game (and many others) in their absolute best form, which this will provide.

Possible Kingdom Hearts appearances in upcoming events
I would not expect anything from the Playstation meeting. This isn't going to be an E3 or PSX type of conference: this meeting is going to be almost all about new PS tech (Slim, Neo, possible new handheld, and PSVR) with few game announcements (most likely showing existing games running better on Neo and some launch announcements for the handheld). At most Square would only be present to show something developed for the handheld and/or to show how FFXV will improve on Neo. Plus with the confirmation that no news on KH3 till winter and that 2.8 is getting a new trailer at TGS, KH will have nothing to show.

When do you think we will get a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2.8?
TGS, it's the halfway mark between E3 and release, so it is the logical place to reveal anything new (including a date).

Will you be playing the original Final Fantasy VII with the remake coming later?
I bought it as soon as it came to PS4 and got a decent ways in, but randomly stopped. It's one of my goals to beat all mainline FF games before the year ends (minus XI and XIV for obvious reasons, and I just delayed XII to save it for the remaster). Currently playing through III, so it will be a little while before I get to it, but it will happen.

What was your favorite E3 conference?
Sony reinvented the conference this year. I went into wanting the exact format as last year, and they gave me so much more. Game after game, surprise after surprise, minimal talking. Sony had so much to live up to after last year, and needless to say that they met, if not exceeded, expectations.

How long will "0.2: A Fragmentary Passage" be?
1-2 on average, probably 2-3 (max 4) to complete everything.
