While this news isn't strictly Kingdom Hearts-related, we feel that it is significant enough to discuss. Recently, several interviews with Naoki Yoshida, the producer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI, were shared via countless outlets. Of those interviews, two stand out in correlation to Kingdom Hearts. Firstly, Washington Post's interview with Yoshida shared the following statements: Additionally, Japanese publication Game Watch conducted an interview providing a notable Kingdom Hearts-centric response: Thanks to our team's Ryuji for translating the aforementioned passage. This news is quite thrilling as Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind's boss design was phenomenal. The Limit Cut Data battles and Yozora fight are genuinely remarkable, and knowing that that talent is fueling Final Fantasy XVI can only be a stellar sign. What are your thoughts on Naoki Yoshida's statements?
