Interview: Realising the Absurd Volume -- How did the Osaka development team get the chance to make 'Birth by Sleep'? Yoichi Yoshimoto: It started around the end of June 2005, when Nomura (Tetsuya, creator of 'Kingdom Hearts') said "Let's get the Osaka team to make a new 'Kingdom Hearts' game." Tai Yasue: At that time we hadn't decided what kind of 'Kingdom Hearts' title to make, so we were feeling our way while playing 'KHII'. Yoshimoto: At first there was a period when we planned to develop it for the Playstation 2. Yasue: We were making something very different to 'Birth by Sleep', with Sora as the prototype for the lead role. Then Nomura started writing the "Birth by Sleep" plans, so we worked on making our plans fit with his. -- After that, you were asked to manage 'Re: Chain of Memories', right? Yoshimoto: Yes. About half a year into making 'Birth by Sleep', Nomura asked us, "Could you make 'Re: Chain of Memories'?" There was less than a year until the development deadline. Yasue: That's right (laughs). But it was a really good experience. We learned that the development process was very different in the Osaka and Tokyo teams, and came to understand the high level of quality required for making a Disney title. So yes, BBS was put on hold because of Re: CoM, but that was in 2006, not in 2002. About the first trailer and changes: Happened also with KH1. When you watch the announcement trailer of it you will notice several changes, like Disney Town being playable, the logo of Kingdom Hearts, or the original name being "Kingdom of Hearts". So I wouldn't call that "development hell", just simple and common gathering of ideas and scrapping/changing stuff in the early phase. Also happened with KH2, like the Behemoths that were supposed to appear in the 1000 Heartless battle as can be seen in the announcement trailer.

He da master of wind, he knows wat doing

Yeah, the end screen

I was sick of it before I have even played it

Dragon Maleficent, simply because back when I was a little child it took me ages to beat her, and when I finally managed to do so I was so happy! I was also quite surprised, cause back then I have always believed Maleficent was the final boss of KH

Hmm... Actually I'd only want for the Pureblood Heartless to return (Shadow, Neoshadow, Invisible etc.). I wanna see as many new Heartless as possible so the less reused ones the better

They also used the gameplay of The World Ends With You as inspiration, doesn't mean though that the end product is any similar to its origin. Otherwise the card system wouldn't be the least liked and the command system the most liked (at least that's what I gather from comments etc.) So yeah, being its origin doesn't make it any good to me The card system got changed to the point that it might as well doesn't even exist anymore

With that mindset you can also say the command system is the same as the original KH1 and KH2 gameplay. Both have buttons for normal attacks, and the combo/magic attacks just got turned into commands. Doesn't change the fact though that they're completey different, gameplay-wise. Same goes for the card system and the command system. You can't combine any commands in mid-battle to create new ones. You don't have to have a specific number in order for the attack to even get executed, like in Chain of Memories, and the existence of a normal attack button makes that gameplay totally different. IMO the biggest problems are the repetitive rooms and the constant encounters. Not to mention that the story in the rooms was boring af, in my personal opinion. The best part of CoM was the story with the Organization 13, which unfortunately only got progressed inbetween the rooms.

They most likely announce something during D23 Expo Japan, which will be held from the 10th to the 12th of February. But since no one knows yet if it well be streamed or even made public we can't know for sure when we're really getting the new infos. Hopefully soon though.

Great to hear you're feeling better!

Sora's best facial expression.

There are no dodongos in the Fire Temple You're thinking of Dodongo's Cavern.

Yesterday my nephews meant I should become a Let’s Player cause I am so good at video games. 5 minutes later they laughed at me because I died in the game. Best fans ever

Friendship. That is so predictable that it is already unpredictable :rolleyes:

Cool! I’ve also played the 3DS version once, really enjoyed it. Currently playing the original on GameCube and just got the Mastersword That game is sooo nostalgic to me.

First time was in September 2016, without the bottle of water. Second time was in January 2017 for 2.8’s release, with the water as Aqua. Here the one from 2016: They did it actually twice already. The first time was similar, just without the bottle of water which stands for Aqua. They also do this several times for other games, anime etc. (Like FFXV, BotW, or One Piece) so the possibilities of them doing it again for KH3 aren’t that low. I’d say the KH3 logo, cause it stands for KH3

@Justin “even though there was only a few lines he said” that’s why it was better
