FF7R and KH3 have been his biggest directorial things since KH3D And all of the projects he has been involved with not directing have been successes sans NEO:TWEWY. But that's on SE marketing, because the game is otherwise incredible

He's already said it's not required There's two modes, one for moving around IRL, one for if you don't want to

Like how they did new uX renders

It's because it will be the BBS model touched up

well except 2.8

Fragmented Keys was a series of concepts and proposals, it doesn't necessarily mean that had it released, it would have had those worlds in it. It was also by Disney and not Square Enix So the devs wanting to use certain worlds/concepts can't point to SE and Nomura wanting to do the same

A New Hope or Return of the Jedi are like the only movies that would even work in KH And Return of the Jedi feels much more pragmatic of an approach to adapting for a video game A New Hope has 2 planets total not including the Death Star. And one of which is only for the rebel base, and the other's only noteworthy locales are a desert wasteland and a bar Return of the Jedi, while most of it takes place on Endor, at least has much more interesting action happening on Endor, add on the Death Star and it feels a bit more fulfilling for settings in a game You can even throw in Jabba's Palace You also get a Darth Vader encounter that you can actually win without it detracting from anything Sora can't help out in the Vader fights in ANH and ESB because Obi-Wan has to die, and Luke has to lose. He doesn't have that issue in ROTJ I personally think The Force Awakens would be perfect for Kingdom Hearts if variety was the goal though, but KH doesn't like to overlap on world themes, so even with that they prolly wouldn't cover everything TFA had (Desert, Forest, Imperial Base/Snow Planet). And the idea of Light rising to counteract Darkness vibes with the themes of KH much more strongly

kh3 already has better performance on ps5 lol You basically get no framedrops anymore and it runs at stable 60 It doesn't have any sort of unique patch or anything cause it just didn't need one

My crackpot theory is that Kairi is intended to end up in Quadrataum later than Riku as a surprise MoM wasn't even going to have story so I imagine KH4 would have just started with Riku there, and flashbacks to that happening. Leaving Kairi''s whereabouts a bit of a mystery Meaning there would be a surprise during the game where she shows up more capable than before and reveals she had been training with Aqua But including story into MoM made them put those plot points first instead

Riku is going to get his ass blasted in the mid section of KH4 and Kairi will awaken the power of waking and show up to wreck shit

the 7 year old excited for VS13 would love a Verum Rex game but idk about it I'd rather the themes of V13 be explored in KH Rather than making a game thats V13 but with a different name and slightly different characters Though, If they did do a Verum Rex game (in a world where they did it before KH4) I would have loved for Kairi of all people to take on the stella role In terms of being antagonistic to Noctis/Yozora That was always an interesting part of V13's setup and I will never forgive FF15 for removing it

thinking about a world where tabata didn't direct FF15 :ShenheDead: we could have had world peace Atleast Nomura is homaging the FNC Mythos in KH Because the FNC mythos and FF13 are cool as hell

Well they are part of FNC

Also I really wish the IGN article on the Les Miserables stuff was like, an actual article :PepeHands: . I'm so convinced Nomura was joking around and they reported as serious fact
