Kingdom Hearts III

[Jäger-Rose]

You might have heard of it before: HD 1.5 ReMIX dropped the existing German and French dub of the first game. Also there weren't new dubs since 2006 which is a pretty bad indicator in my opinion.

So, in order to enjoy 1.5, 2.5 and 3 in German, French and Spanish (besides Japan and English of course) I put up this petition site with the help of some friends: www.savedisney.de/kh3/?sprache=en

Please notice that the original texts were written in German and only google-translated by now. If anyone wants to help and translate the content with some... sense you're welcome!

Until then I'd be happy if many of you sign in and share it with friends all over the world. It was pretty much hard work to put up this whole site - I hope it will be rewarded by Square, Disney, and the fans.

Always loved that image. Shows theoretically what the Kingdom Shader is capable of.

Ooh i thought up another ideal world, Dick Tracy.

Al Pacino can return as Big Boy Caprice's voice and the city would be called Big City since it's an unknown city name for the comics of DT. Imagine having a Detective keyblade.

'Kingdom Hearts 3' Release Date Delayed: Tetsuya Nomura Admits Final World List Is Still Undecided
http://www.latintimes.com/articles/8323 ... kDj4T_6eGk

"Kingdom Hearts 3" fans I sincerely apologize, but it looks like the next installment in this series is still years away. For those who have been following "Kingdom Hearts" since its debut in 2002, this wait must seem unbearable, but despite the games achingly slow progress, franchise creator and game director, Tetsuya Nomura, is providing some new information regarding the highly anticipated video game. Fans hopes for "Kingdom Hearts 3" are at an all-time high, the franchise has lost some of its initial zeal due to multiple disappointing spin-offs and long delays between significant installment releases. KH3 will be a return to the original game series, which we have not seen since 2005, that's a long wait to keep fans interested. And unfortunately, may have lost interest, but dedicated fans of the series are expecting great things. "Fan expectation for 'Kingdom Hearts 3′ is extremely high," Nomura told the LA Times, "To respond to those expectations, I have to provide something really good."

Nomura did provide fans a tiny spoiler, "Kingdom Hearts 3" will conclude the Dark Seeker saga, however that characters and locations included in the final saga installment is still undecided. Nomura admitted that there have been no definite decisions regarding the obstacles that Sora & Co. will face along their journey to their final encounter with Master Xehanort. While it seems a lot of question regarding "Kingdom Hearst 3" still remain, Nomura stated the Disney-Square Enix relationship should not be questioned. "The counterpart that I've been working with at Disney the past 10 years is the same person," said the Kingdom Hearts 3 game director, adding, "We have very heated discussions about this franchise, and we've done that for the past 10 years, but we have a steady relationship." The rumored souring relationship between Disney and Square-Einx has been attributed to the delay in game release, however, the delay in release is being cause by "Final Fantasy XV."

Nomura has committed his impressive talents to serve as game director for both "Kingdom Hearts 3" and "Final Fantasy XV". Unfortunately, Nomura does not spilt his time between the two games, instead in the recent months he has solely focused on "Final Fantasy XV" indicating that "Kingdom Hearts 3" could be facing a substantial release date delay. In an interview with IGN, Nomura himself confirmed the delayed release of the game and discussed the slow development process, saying that Kingdom Hearts 3 "is still pretty early in development." With the "Final Fantasy" series seemingly taking precedent, "Kingdom Hearts 3" producer Shinji Hashimoto is urging fans to have patience. "A lot of people have wondered for the last couple of years if Square Enix has actually been working on Kingdom Hearts III; that's why we announced it at E3 this year," the Kingdom Hearts 3 producer told IGN, adding, "But please, we need you all to understand that there's a lot to do."

So I wonder what how long "years away" is.

Freaking typical.

What I'm curious about is will the main enemies be Heartless again or will it be something else? In addition to both main KH games (1 and 2), both Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days had Heartless as the enemies. But in Birth By Sleep and 3D, there were different kinds of enemies. In BBS, the enemies were called Unversed, and in 3D, they were called Dream Eaters.

[disneyboy20022]

Freaking typical.

Actually there now might be more of a reason behind the delay than we thought. Apparently there are money problems within Square Enix and there are rumors they may have to cancel development for Kingdom Hearts 3


Kingdom Hearts 3 Hopes Dim As Cashflow Problems Arising
http://www.tekrieg.com/news/kingdom-hea ... g/1005134/

osuke Matsuda has spoken up about Square Enix and the financial troubles that have beset the company responsible for releasing the upcoming games Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3.

Dual Shockers said on 4th October that the president has said “delay from development” was down to factors behind losses.

Gamers from all around the world have been talking about the release data for Kingdom Hearts 3 for the Xbox One and this has left some people wondering whether the Square Enix team would get together with Microsoft and release a version of the game for the next gen consoles.

The developer is working on some exclusive content for the PlayStation, gamers are now wondering if the titles will also be seen on the PS4.

Kingdom Hearts 3 comes from Square Enix along with Disney Interactive Studios, who are responsible for dealing with the distribution over at the Osaka branch.

There are rumours going around that say Square Enix may have to cancel Kingdom Hearts 3 development.

“Fan expectation for ‘Kingdom Hearts 3′ is extremely high,” Nomura said during an interview. “To respond to those expectations, I have to provide something really good.”

However there are some people who think that Square Enix will move forwards and release the game as they are desperate to do so.

“Nope, Square Enix needs money. Kingdom Hearts 3 is potential money. Square Enix will make Kingdom Hearts 3 to make money,” the source told Society and Religion.

"Conversations with Creators" video to have new KHIII footage?
http://www.khinsider.com/news/-Conversa ... otage-3438

You may remember that series creator Tetsuya Nomura was announced to take part in a series of webvideos for Playstation. These videos are titled "Conversations with Creators"(detailed here), and they are exactly that - a conversation with the creators of games for the Playstation 4. While the video for the Kingdom Hearts III interview hasn't been released yet, bKvEBVAvUq has shared an image of what appears to be an email about the forthcoming video.

Hello everyone!! Play Community Admin here.

Conversations with Creators is a video series in which we interview the creators of the PlayStation 4 titles that have been revealed so far. Before the video goes public on the Play Community blog, just our Play Community registered members get the next new info early!

The next episode of Conversations with Creators is, once again, Tetsuya Nomura, director of Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts III! He gave us a perspective on the PS4 and on this title that was different yet again from his Final Fantasy XV video that went up the other day.

He gave us a comment especially for the members of Play Community to see before the video releases. Take a look.

I still don't have much information on KHIII that I can release to the public, but I spoke to the extent I was able. Please enjoy the interview, along with part of the new clip that will be released at the event this month.

We hope you enjoyed this new info, please look forward to the interview video!

It appears that there will be a new clip from Kingdom Hearts III that will be at D23 Expo Japan this weekend! What do you think they will show? A story clip? A new world? Gameplay?

[ajmrowland]

2015 is the release date, i can't wait man it should be awesome as hell.

Whoever thinks it will come in 2015 has no idea what they are talking about. We still don't have a release date for XV, let alone KH3.

The E3 reveal was basically fanservice, nothing more. Square has already said that they announced it too early, and considering that's coming from Square (Final Fantasy XV 2005-2013+), it's saying a lot.

Th announcement was more or less just them saying they were really getting around to it full speed.

But yeah, there is no confirmed release date . Still, I'm confident it wasn't inhumanely early as FFXVs announcement was.

[disneyboy20022]

Watching the trailer, the heartless resemble the Zombies piling up in World War Z

[disneyboy20022]

The New Clip will be on October 14th through the D23 in Japan.

12:10 PM - Walt Disney Company CEO - Bob Iger - gave a lecture at the event with Kingdom Hearts as one of the topics. Mentions the announcement to be made on the 14th

For once, Disney's greediness might actually cause some good. Sounds like their pressure on SE will get KH3 released more quickly.

And if Sqaure Enix is having money issues developing it, Disney most likely will help back it

I don't think Disney is remotely interested in backing up any videogame. They didn't care enough to back up Lucas Arts, their own, inherited studio. They don't know how to handle the console-videogame market.

[thelittleursula]

Plus like Square- Enix are like..... mega- rich from the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean Games, and Dragon Quest games. I doubt SE are going to have issues with cash anytime soon.

[ajmrowland]

And even if they did, it wouldn't hurt KH3 much as an investment. It's one of literally their two most anticipated titles of the coming decade.

[disneyprincess11]

Well, we have our first world...Disneyland

Found this on Tumblr:

The new KH3 trailer shows something like attractions, a train summon like the electrical parade? Also fighting the Rock titan.
- Movements on screen are really dynamic. Just as beautiful as expected for the PS4.

- I also noticed a scene where it looked like a Keyblade variation where Sora dual shooting 2 guns.

- Sora’s new attack! Disney attractions! In the new trailer, you see the pirate ship from Peter Pan, but it’s lit up like in the Electrical Parade!

- Fighting Heartless and the Rock Titan in Traverse Town. Sora is in front of the electrical parade attraction like boat, attacking. The Rock Titan line gradually appears in front of the electric parade coaster. It seems to attack by spinning around the Titan.

- They already said that KH3 uses an exclusive tool called Kingdom Shader, but seeing it, it’s really amazing! Sora’s hair sways naturally, his expression is soft and realistic, his caricature is portrayed beautifully. I want this trailer to be released immediately!

- On the scene where Sora wields 2 guns, it seems that the guns are related to an attraction with the little green men. リトルグリーンメン is what the little green men in Toy Story are called officially in Japanese, so maybe we have Toy Story confirmed. Maybe.

- It goes without saying that the action is great, but even flames appear really realistic! I can’t wait to see what the magic will look like from here on out!

- The special attraction attack used against Rock Titan is the Electric Parade like roller coaster you can ride! It looks a lot like the Big Thunder Mountain attraction from Disneyland. Donald and Goofy are secured by the safety bar, lol.

- Also, there was a scene where the Keyblade transformed into 2 guns.

- Then the scene changes and we see Sora operating a boat like in an amusement park. Probably Peter Pan. It looks like the night version of the float that Peter Pan rides in the Disneyland Jubilation parade.

- The next scene looks like Big Thunder Mountain from Disneyland. You attack while riding on top of a shining coaster as the tracks surround Rock Titan, sending him spinning. Finally, Sora and co get off the coaster as it crashes into the Titan.

So Pixar is confirmed to finally appear. Expected it tbh.

So they're basing some of the weapons/worlds in some of the Parks? Isn't that a bit...odd?

I mean I can understand if basing worlds/summons off elements from the parks that aren't part of the movies (It's a Small World, Haunted Mansion) but imagine Peter Pan's Flight appearing in contrast to the original Peter Pan who's been part of the games since forever.

It's just soo weird! Next thing, Sora will visit Walt's statue with Mickey!

[DisneyJedi]

What? Are you kidding me?! Don't get me wrong, I love Disneyland. I had a great time when I went there with my folks last year, but isn't that a little too much?

I'm still hoping to see the worlds we want in the game, really.
