  1. The latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, releasing on Thursday, September 25, 2014, is to include an article about Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, containing an interview with the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. A summary of this interview has appeared online, and it covers Kingdom Hearts III, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. Some of the major points from this interview include that Kingdom Hearts III's development is on schedule, new outfits for Sora and Riku have been designed, that Kingdom Hearts III will link closely with Kingdom Hearts χ[chi], among many other things. Thanks to hokanko-alt for the original interview summary, and to translator goldpanner for translating everything into English, you can read it below. Update: Kotaku have also published a summary of the article, you can read it below. Click here to view the article
  2. Truth be told though, I won't tell ANYONE, unless they absolutely want to hear and also, I can't really say if it's fact or not but it's a theory I came up with after watching the 2nd of KH HD 2.5 Remix's Secret Movies, that might just very well explain a few things but again, unless if anyone at all wants to hear it, I won't say anything, so then is there anyone that would like to hear my hypothesis? I honestly would like to tell everyone as all of us are fellow fans of Kingdom Hearts, no more, no less :].
  3. Following a period of maintenance to Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] on October 2, 2014, Square Enix have published a maintenance report to detail the changes and additions made to the game. KH13 translator SkyKeybladeHero has translated this maintenance report, and this translation can be read below.
  4. Tetsuya Nomura has revealed, in the September 25, 2014 issue of Famitsu Weekly (which contained an in-depth interview with the Kingdom Hearts series director), that he is investigating ways to allow more people to experience Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. Currently, Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] is a Japanese-only title, and only for PC web browsers. However, with it recently being confirmed that the stories of Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] and Kingdom Hearts III are heavily tied together, it makes sense that Square Enix would like to expand the audience of the game. Nomura also confirmed that the Kingdom Hearts Re:coded HD Cinematic Story Videos in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX would contain an addition based on Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]'s "Tome of Prophecy", and that the Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] story would be continued between the release of HD 2.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts III. It is currently unknown specifically what Nomura is referring to, so leave a comment below with your thoughts! Do you think Nomura could be planning to release the game in English, or do you think that they might be considering porting the game to other consoles or platforms? The full interview is available here, with translations thanks to goldpanner.

  19. Okay, so I've been over-analyzing things AGAIN, and it seems that the Light and Darkness plot of Kingdom Hearts is starting to rattle me a bit. Some have of the characters in this game believe that Light is good and Darkness is completely bad. ( Master Eraqus) Some folks believe that neither Light nor Darkness are sufficient. (Xemnas) And then there's the people who believe that Light and Darkness are a balance, and that neither is more important than the other. (The Fairy from Cinderella) Okay, so whose right? Here's the things I don't get: 1. Kairi's grandmother tells of a time when all the worlds were connected and everyone lived in the light, and they all loved it.... This statement alone implies that Light is more preferable. If Light and Darkness are both a balance, then why did everyone only prefer living in the Light? 2. But people began to fight over the Light.....if it was available to everybody, what was the need for fighting over it? Isn't that like starting a war over oxygen? 3.The Light was then swallowed up by Darkness, and now rests deeply inside it...You would think that this means Darkness is bad because it hid the precious Light, but Darkness isn't always evil is it? 4.In BBS, the Fairy Godmother told Aqua she can't fight Darkness with Light, which is exactly what Sora has been doing since the beginning 5.If Darkness isn't evil, then why does it have so many hostile beings living inside it? 6.Everyone has a good and dark side. If Darkness isn't bad, why are the dark sides automatically evil? (Vanitus for example) 7. Why are some people unable to control their dark sides? (Terra) 8. What exactly are the dark sides of us made of? Is it mean thoughts, attitudes, etc.? Ventus was stripped of his dark side, and he was still a little mean towards Aqua. 9. How is it possible for someone to be made of complete Light? Wouldn't that make the Princess unable to do any wrong? (Mary sues?) 10.If you're not supposed to fight the Darkness with Light, then what do you fight it with? Are you not supposed to fight it at all? Well you can' t do that, because most of the creatures of Darkness want to KILL YOU! 11. Some characters like Riku can't fully belong to Darkness or Light, but still identify with the Light. Does this make them biased, or just hypocritical? 12. Is it possible for a person to be bad without the Darkness's help? (I would assume so, because Pete was a naughty dude even before he joined Maleficent.) 13. People lose their Keyblades when they give into the Darkness, but can keep them if they return to/ or stay in the Light? What? If that's the case, then Xehanort should have lost his Keyblade too? (I have a speculation about that, but it's a whole new can of worms, so don't worry about it.) Can't have it both ways. You wanna say that Light and Darkness are equal, but the Darkness and all it's beings are constantly swallowing up worlds, destroying people's lives, etc. No wonder people prefer the Light. Maybe there's two kinds of Darkness, good and bad? I don't know.
  20. After a three hour maintenance period that occurred this past July 23rd on the Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] website, a total of 14 new cards were added to the card roster. This new set of cards is part of the Raise Draw Set. Raise Draw are special black tickets that players can obtain through completing missions on the game or purchasing them with real money. For those of you who are not familiarized with the game, attack cards are part of the battle system used to defeat Heartless in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. Each card can perform an attack animation and inflict damage according to its level and stats. The special part of the Raise Draw set is that these cards will have a powerful multiplier boost on their attack and defense stats, that will last until August 6. You can see the new Birth by Sleep cards below, in our gallery.
  21. Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] is celebrating their 1st anniversary, and they are treating the players with new events, cards and even an autographed postcard by Tetsuya Nomura himself. To be awarded one of the autographed postcards, a Hall of Fame ranking was created for the players. The lucky winners of these rare postcards will be the ones who ranked 1st place in different categories like most Lux (light points) collected, most raid bosses defeated, and most treasure chests opened, among others categories. If you started playing Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] in the past but then stopped for any given reason, right now is the time to come back, as the website is also doing a comeback campaign. Any players that have not logged in for over a month and log in during the 1st Anniversary events will be able to obtain many free items like new cards, potions, ether, and Moogle medals (these are coins used in the game to buy other items). To help with the celebrations, Donald and Goofy have appeared for the first time in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. They can be found in a special area of Daybreak Town. Our favorite sidekicks arrived here and now need our help gathering gummi pieces that can be obtained by defeating certain heartless in the game. The gathered gummi pieces can also be exchanged for new cards and items at the Moogle Trade. Among the things you can buy with your gummi blocks are new sets of clothes that are themed after our favorite gummi ship engineers, Chip and Dale. Another special treat for players was the release of the 1st Anniversary Premium boxes. These can only be purchased with real money, each being 10,000 yen (approximately US$98.20). They are filled with great items, but the main attraction is a special attack card that commemorates the game's 1st Anniversary and comes with a multiplier boost of x5 in its attack and defense points. Lastly, the game is also awarding new cards to everyone who logs in every week during the 1st Anniversary events and offers a x2 multiplier on experience gained from fighting enemies and card synthesis. These events and celebrations will end once the maintenance on August 14th starts. Here is Nomura's postcard, as well as some other images released to promote the event:
  22. The connection between Kingdom Hearts χ and Kingdom Hearts III is believed to have been touched upon in the latest update for Kingdom Hearts χ, via the Fortuneteller's Script. goldpanner has translated this script via KHInsider, and it can be read below. Chirithy: You've really shaped up as a Keyblade Wielder, haven't you. Uh-huh, you're looking really fine, too! I think it's time to tell you, then. Before my master, He who created me, disappeared, He bestowed His six followers with new names, and gave five of them a tome of prophecy. These five followers, who were to become the Foretellers, read the future written in the tome. Apparently a passage written on the last page shocked them. "The war in that place will lead to the defeat and destruction of the Light. The World will be enveloped in eternal Darkness." In order to save the future World, the five Foretellers thought to use the power hidden in the tome of prophecy. That's the power you are all using now. Through the cards, you are using the power of the future to try and protect the light from the darkness, and avert the future enveloped in darkness. Also, as you know, even though the five Foretellers share the same goal, they by no means share the same will. So, you mustn't lose sight of it yourself.

With collectible items to obtain, this title is looking like something that will be fun to play for a long time. The standard game is free-to-play, with charges for purchasable items. ◆STORY◆ Far, far away, in a fairy-tale realm... The realm was filled with light. That light gave birth to many worlds, enveloping them. The source of the light, Kingdom Hearts, and the key that protected it, the χblade... As long as they existed, it was believed that the realm would be in eternal light. However, just as strong light will form a shadow, darkness was born. The darkness called up fear, unease and craving. Darkness, hidden deep in hearts, began to spread throughout the realm as chaos. In order to drive back the spreading darkness, those who wished for light created Keyblades in imitation of the χblade, and embarked on adventures that spanned the realm. In addition to the familiar Disney World investigation and exhilarating battle of the Kingdom Hearts series, you can enjoy new types of gameplay such as raiding with friends in co-operative boss battles and gathering and enhancing cards! ◆Adopting original avatars for the player character! Explore Disney World settings original to this title! Before embarking on their journey, players may create their own avatars. Enjoy the various customisations sich as selectable gender, hairdo, skin tone, accessories etc. From original designs to Disney character motifs, many variations are available. Every Disney World that appears in this adventure has been created afresh for this title and fleshes out the world of Disney even more. Also, there are additional action components and gimmicks on the map, which you can enjoy by investigating strategically! ◆Simple action in clicking! Simple battling in a barrage of clicks! Control movements easily using only the mouse! Field gimmicks too! Move acrobatically by simply clicking on the intended destination. Also, attacks begin automatically by clicking on enemies during a battle. Enjoy battling consecutive enemies and walking on the field to obtain the treasure and materials from the map with simple crisp clicks! ◆Collect cards to turn out techniques! Co-operate with friends for even rarer rewards! Defeat the enemies in the worlds and obtain cards to get stronger! Your goal is to defeat the many enemies infesting the worlds and collect 'Lux'. By collecting Battle Cards available in-game, you will become able to turn out many techniques. Also, co-operate with your friends to defeat the raid bosses that appear several times a day! With the ability to execute special moves and abilities depending on the cards you are holding, active players will receive special rewards. ◆Synthesise cards and enhance your Keyblade You can form decks from the cards you obtain during your adventure to use strategically to give yourself more advantage during battle. Players still getting used to things are able to form decks easily by clicking the 'entrust' button. In order to effectively use cards that have become unnecessary, there is of course a card synthesis function for reinforcing, evolving and raising stronger cards! Also, by synthesising the materials available to collect in each world, you can strengthen the abilities of your weapon, the Keyblade! There are also many other fun factors planned for inclusion, so please look forward to it!
  24. The latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, releasing on December 26, 2013, has contained an interview with the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. Here, Nomura reveals new information regarding Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts χ. hokanko-alt have published a summary of this interview, and staff translator goldpanner has translated it. Thanks to her, it can be read below. > Game Information - Final Mix version as base, plus Japanese voices - Re:Coded has been fully remade as a movie, with new scenes > Interview Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX - KH2.5 was created by the same team as 1.5, the Osaka Team. However, as the HD-ifying process had already been established, it went a lot more smoothly than 1.5 did - A release time frame is in sight but they still aren't at a stage where they can announce a date - They didn't have to change as much this time as they did for KH1.5, but the volume was equivalent - Re:Coded isn't as long as 358/2 days, and most of the main story was already in cutscene form, which means they are applying new cutscenes to things that happened in Disney Worlds. Those require new voicing work, and last week they carried out the voice recording for Alice's world - They are also adding battle scenes and a just little more to the scenario - There's a scene connecting from Re:Coded to KH3D - The reason for the HD remasters is to recap the story that leads to KH3, and since a) it's sad to think of just one title getting left out of being in HD and b) KH3D is a vital part in laying out KHIII, he knows he has to think of something Kingdom Hearts χ - He is currently being conscious of putting in mysteries and twists for the story. There's an episode of KHχ added that begins with a simple conversation with Chirithy, but then another Chirithy appears in the scene. - The Guilt System had the working title of 'Orb', but they changed it. Perhaps you could expand on imagining collecting the sins (guilt) of the Heartless -There is a natural predetermined meshing if he writes the scenarios himself, but as the goal approaches, he is becoming less convinced of that answer. He's exploring solutions to the question of how to surprise himself - He thinks the KHχ scenario will actually be a surprise. An episode dedicated to the Foretellers will reveal, written in a tome of prophecy, events that are to happen in the future - The last passage in the tome of prophecy is something shocking that connects to KH3 - As KHχ is online, it is by nature difficult to establish an ending to the story, but he has thought of a tentative conclusion. He's also currently thinking of online components for KH3, so he's hoping he can link them nicely, but he still doesn't know Kingdom Hearts III - He was happy that the KH3 promo released in October had such a massive reception, but there is still way way not enough on the development side - 'Attraction Flow', which allows the selection of techniques that respond to enemies and locations, has techniques particularly rich in individuality during boss battles. It's one of the core gameplay elements of KH3, evolved from KH3D's Flowmotion - Other than the gun form, there are some out-of-this-world transformations for the Keyblade. When the staff told me it would become a [redacted] I burst out laughing - I hope to use all sorts of gimmicks on the suggestion of the planning department - KH3 and KH2.5 are both by the Osaka Team; they are being worked on side by side - Nomura is currently rewriting the scenario for KH3 Update 1: Famitsu.com have posted a preview scan of the article concerning HD 2.5 ReMIX. You can view it below. Update 2: SQEX.INFO have done a full translation of Nomura's interview, and thanks to them, this can be read below. Today we’re speaking with Kingdom Hearts series creator Tetsuya Nomura about KH2.5 and KHX, as well as the latest title KH3 announced for PS4 and XB1. Get the inside scoop about what Nomura has in store for the undoubtedly amazing story! - First off, I’d like to ask about Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix. Did development start right after Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix was finished? Nomura: That’s right. Just like KH1.5, KH2.5 is being handled by the Osaka team. Programmers established the system for making things HD with KH1.5, so this time it’s progressing even smoother than that. - So it’s not as difficult this time around? Nomura: I think I mentioned this before, but it was more difficult with KH 1.5 since there was no remaining data to go off of. (wry laugh) This time Birth by Sleep is included in the compilation and originally the Osaka team worked on that, so they have the know how and there haven’t been any problems so far. - KH2.5 was recently exhibited at Jump Festa 2014. If development is going so well, is the release date close at hand? Nomura: The release period is in sight, but I can’t say yet. - Alright, let’s talk about content. For KH1.5, there were changes made to KH’s technical specifications to make it closer to KH2, what about this time? Nomura: There haven’t been any changes so far. Nonetheless, we are not only making an HD version of KH2, but BBS and the Final Mix parts as well, and of course we’re implementing trophies, so it has considerable volume and I think it’s something players can enjoy thoroughly. - Scenes from KH Recoded are also included in the compilation. How much footage from it will be included? And are voiced scenes being recorded? Nomura: The scenarios of Recoded itself are rather short within the series, so it’s not as abundant as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days was in KH1.5. But in accordance with the length of Days, scenes from it were structured mainly around the story involving Roxas and the series’ original characters. This time around, Recoded isn’t as long as Days, so most of the main story from the original has been converted to movie cutscenes. The events that took place in the Disney worlds have been newly made into movie cutscenes as well. Of course that means there will be new scenes that need voice recordings. Just last week they were recording the voices for events in the Alice in Wonderland world. - That’s good news for Disney fans! Nomura: After that we’re including battle scenes that we couldn’t put in at the time of Days and though they are few, we’ll be adding new scenarios too. - Scenes that didn’t take place during the game version? Nomura: Yes. Chronologically, Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance takes place after Recoded, so there will be scenes that fill in that gap. - Speaking of which, KH3D isn’t getting an HD remake. Nomura: The HD remastered versions are meant to recap the story leading to KH3. While we’re remaking the series, it’s a shame that only one won’t be in HD, but KH3 picks up where KH3D leaves off so it’s an important title to the series, you can’t forget about it. Side Note: According to Famitsu’s data as of 2013/12/8, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is the 2nd best selling HD title, behind Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. from Capcom. It sold 131,940 copies in it’s first week and has sold 222,995 total. - KH1.5 remains the 2nd best selling HD remaster title in Japan’s history. Even though the final mix remake came out before the HD version, the HD version is selling. What do you think the main factor for this is? Nomura: Well, probably because it’s in HD and it’s easier to play. (laughs) - I think that’s the case too. (laughs) I think there are many people who want to play it on the high def screen and reaffirm the mysterious story. Nomura: I keep it in mind when I put mysterious and captivating parts into the story. That way fans can imagine how things might turn out. For example, the other day a new episode was added to KHX and it has the first conversation with Chirishi. A scene where another Chirishi appears is added there, but the rest is left to your imagination. It’s established even if you only finish the conversation, I tweaked it a little bit, so it has some meaning. - I see. Since it’s a scene you participated in, we’ll want to check it out. The new system in KHX involving “guilt” seems significant too. Nomura: That too. At first in development they were called “orbs”, but the name has changed to “guilt” which has to do with “sin.” About the act of “gathering guilt from Heartless”, I think fans of the series will remember the connection it has. And then your imagination goes from there. - Certainly we’ll pay attention and imagine something from there. But I doubt that we’ll be absolutely correct. How do you always think this stuff up? Nomura: When I’m writing the scenarios on my own, it’s a combination of stuff coming naturally and the pre-established harmony. It’s because I keep writing towards my original goal. It becomes impossible to understand just by the visible answers. I want to be able to betray myself, by myself. From there I ask, “How can I surprise myself?” And then I begin to grope for a different answer. I also put thorough consideration into the fans viewpoint, wondering what might happen if this happened, etc. - I see. Doing it like that, no one would be able to guess what’s coming, moreover a configuration with integrity is made. We will no doubt be surprised every time. Nomura: I think that the scenarios of KHX from here on out will be surprising as well. In the episode concerning the clairvoyant, the prophesied events occurring in the future written by the clairvoyant will be revealed. - By “the future”, what point of time do you mean? Nomura: As for that, you’ll have to see for yourself. At any rate, the last verse of the clairvoyant is a major shocker. It’s something that connects to KH3. - That’s a must see then! By the way, is there an ending to the story of KHX? Nomura: As far as online characteristics go, it’s the hard part, but I am tentatively thinking about the conclusion. I’m also thinking about online elements for KH3, so if I could link them somehow that’d be cool, but I don’t know about that yet. - At an event in October of this year a new KH3 trailer was premiered. How was the response? Nomura: Everyone was really happy to see it, so that was good. But from the development side, only we knew what point it’s progress was at, and we showed something that still has a long way to go, something “insufficient.” - But it looked immediately playable… Anyways in the trailer, we saw Attraction Flow, the system based on theme park attractions like Jet Coaster, etc. Are those kind of features going to be abundant? Nomura: With Attraction Flow, you can choose techniques corresponding to the place, enemy, etc., so especially in boss fights you’ll be able to use techniques as abundantly as you like. It’s an evolution of KH3D’s Flowmotion and is one of the systems central to KH3. - Speaking of new systems, we saw Sora’s Keyblade do a full on transformation. Nomura: In the trailer, it became gun shaped, but it has unexpected transformations as well. The other day when I was doing a check up, a staff member said to me, “It turns into ___”, and I blurted out, “Are you serious!?” (laughs) - What!? So already it’s not just a weapon? (laughs) After all, it was a vehicle in BBS… Nomura: The planning side has suggested it should be used for some kind of feature. There are infinite possibilities with the Keyblade. (laughs) - I’m sure we’ll be surprised. By the way, the Osaka team is also working on KH3, so does that mean they’ve stopped development to work on KH2.5 in the meantime? Nomura: They’re working alongside one another. - What are you currently working on? Nomura: I’m working on KH3’s scenarios. Writing and editing, writing and editing. - KH2.5 comes first huh. Lastly, I’d like to ask about the other titles that you’re involved with. How is Final Fantasy XV coming along? Nomura: Right now we’re centralizing development. I hope you can wait until the time we can put out subsequent information. - Alright well the other day it was announced that you are in charge of the character design for the arcade version of Puzzle & Dragons Battle Tournament. I’d like to ask about the details regarding that. Nomura: I had the request for Gunslingers Stratos 2 and then a request from Producer Nobuki Kadoi, so I thought, “Me again?” (laughs) I was happy to hear there was a request from Gungho. At first they requested character designs with shorter body proportions, but I was being selfish and made them a little taller. I listened to the requests from the voice cast as well, and I think that the character casting came out pretty well. - Sounds like there was a good collaboration effect going on. Lastly, is it challenging when you have those kind of jobs? Nomura: I thought so with Gunslingers Stratos 2. It had been a long time since I designed characters for a new title and I was drawing freshly, so I thought that if I get the opportunity again, I’ll definitely go for it… Well, that’s how I felt anyways. We were able to talk about a lot of things this time. This old soldier is grateful for that. Update 3: Famitsu.com have updated with an online companion article to the magazine article, containing many screenshots from HD 2.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts χ. These can all be seen below, in our gallery. 4Gamer.net have also updated with some screenshots, including one extra that Famitsu did not. This is also included below.
  25. http://sqex-bridge.jp/guest/information/3891 so basicly what guilt is is the sin of heartless i'm guessing its what they did before they turned into one or something like that, and its used to help kill raid bosses. but they are only found in certain heartless. also what did Chirishi say what he gives it to you and the other one?
