KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

News has been a little slow of late, and in hopes of increasing some activity, I've been permitted by staff to see if site members would like to see the return of "KHV's Top 10." For those who don't know, the Top 10 was a countdown of several Kingdom Hearts related subjects from the votes of site members. The reason it was discontinued was due to a lack of votes, which caused a weak consensus to go on.

So in hopes of reviving these editorial pieces, I'd like to see how many members would pose interest in seeing the return of these fun little countdowns. Subjects can relate to recent news on upcoming titles, and any graphic artists can have their hand at volunteering to produce visuals. So if you would like to see a return of this, please post your interest below, or like the thread.

The initial thread with a link to all previous countdowns can be found here!

Recently, an internal Square-Enix Europe document (pictured below) has been circulating on the internet, containing information about their soon-to-be-released titles (like Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII) and titles still in development (notably Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III).


No doubt in impatience for said titles, The Game Inquirer took the change from a TBC release date to 2014 as confirmation that the game may out sooner than anticipated. Square replied to these rumors shortly after:
Suffice to say, Kingdom Hearts 3 won't be hitting the shelves anytime soon. From interviews and appearances, it's safe to say that the final chapter of the Xehanort Saga is still in very early development -- it's far too early to consider a release date, but that won't stop us from speculating! Anyone have predictions for a more realistic time frame?
