Translated Kingdom Hearts x message reveals future connections

Posted by Krowley : Jan 24, 2014 at 4:48 AM ( 24 , 6,053 )

Set before the Keyblade war, Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] has shown us little on it's contribution to the series as a whole. The latest content update shows more enigmatic message left behind by the foretellers has some value into the future outcome of the keyblade war and possible connection to Kingdom Hearts III.

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.

Nomura's thoughts on Kingdom Hearts III and the Playstation 4

Posted by Krowley : Jan 24, 2014 at 4:33 AM ( 11 , 4,236 )

The most recent Famitsu weekly holds opinions for the Sony console by notable game developers Goichi Suda, Tetsuya Nomura and Yoshinori Ono. Kotaku has translated and posted each developers opinions on developing games for the Playstation 4, and Nomura's portion can be read below.

Looking at the PS4, I thought "they've gone too far." I wish they would just let us off the hook. For the player, having a game that's "thoroughly made" makes them excited with anticipation, but for a developer, it's a hurdle we have to overcome.

The number of things we have to do keeps increasing and if we keep trying to expand as far as it will go, we'll never be finished. I think we're going to end up being faced with the choice of what to keep and what to give up on [for Kingdom Hearts III].

I really felt the immense response to the Kingdom Hearts III announcement and so it's now my task to figure out how to satisfy all those people who are looking forward to it.

There have been a lot of different consoles in the past, but I feel that this one is the biggest mountain we've had to climb yet, in a good way.

Haley Joel Osment comments on Kingdom Hearts III

Posted by Krowley : Jan 9, 2014 at 4:09 PM ( 13 , 2,425 )

In a recent interview with Zap2it, Haley Joel Osment (English voice actor for the main protagonist; Sora) got in a few words regarding involvement in the next Kingdom Hearts game. He spoke with Square Enix following the grand reveal at E3 this year and hopes to keep voicing the optimistic boy in Kingdom Hearts III.

Transcript for the brief mention can be read below;

Zap2it: "Now, one last question. I'm going to nerd out a little on you, but you've been involved in the Kingdom Hearts franchise for a really long time, and people are excited about 'Kingdom Hearts III' finally coming out. Can you talk a little bit about that? Have you seen the script or anything?"

HJO: "I saw the announcement and then talked with them a little on the phone. I started doing ‘Kingdom Hearts’ in 2001, and we’ve done the main series and then the Game Boy one. I feel like I’ve done seven or eight installments, which is awesome but with this, they’re making it now and the recording of the dialogue is one of the last parts of the process. Probably this summer or later."

Zap2it: "But we'll have you back for Sora?"

HJO: "That’s what I hear. Sometimes Sora goes back to being a child or goes to another universe or changes into somebody else so I can never say for sure, but hopefully I’ll be back."

Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD ReMix, x[chi] and Kingdom Hearts 3 in recent Famitsu

Posted by Krowley : Dec 24, 2013 at 4:16 PM ( 17 , 3,479 )

Happy Holidays KHV! We've had some good news regarding next year's II.5 HD Remix and so the news continues!
Famitsu's latest issue holds an interview with Tetsuya Nomura on the upcoming Kingdom Hearts titles of; Kingdom Hearts 3, Kingdom Hearts χ[chi], and Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD ReMix. Below you will find his take on progress for the II.5 HD ReMix, x[chi] gameplay additions, and even the possibility of an HD remaster for Dream, Drop, Distance.

Below are the bullet points of the interview, translated by Zephyr of KHInsider.

• KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX is being worked on the same team who did KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX and transitioning it to HD is progressing much more smoothly than KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX.

• I have yet to announce a clear release date.

• Like KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX, there isn’t a lot of things to change but the volume is considerable.

• Re:coded isn’t as long as 358/2 Days because many of the cutscenes in Days were originally from the main story. I’ve added a new events in Disney Worlds. Also there will be new voice actors that will be appearing and we’ve just voice recorded for Alice’s world last week.

• Battle scenes and new scenarios have been added.

• There will be a scene where Re:coded leads up to KINGDOM HEARTS 3D.

• There is a sense to summarize the plots in the HD remasters for KINGDOM HEARTS III but please do not think KINGDOM HEARTS 3D isn’t necessary for the storyline.

• Although there is a mysterious story you should be aware. In KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi], dialogues of Chirithy have been added in episodes, there is an interesting scene where another Chirithy appears.

• The Guilt System that was originally developed with orbs have been changed. Guilt would be the drops we collect from Heartless.

• When I’m writing the scenario and connecting them together, I can no longer make sense in the answer that goal approaches. Therefore, I seek to answer how can I make this surprising.

• KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi] scenarios have become more surprising.

• Concerning the Foreteller’s episode, events that will occur in the future will be written in the Foreteller’s Script.

• The last sentence in the Foreteller’s Script leads to KINGDOM HEARTS III.

• I think setting an end to KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi], considering the nature of an online game, is difficult. I think KINGDOM HEARTS III may have online elements and it may be possible to link them but I currently don’t know.

• KINGDOM HEARTS III’s October PV was received positively but it is still insufficient development wise.

• You can choose the “Attraction Flow” ability according to the enemy and location. I’d like to mention in particular, boss battles have the richest ones. It is a system that has evolved from Flowmotion and it is a vital part of KINGDOM HEARTS III.

• There are various amazing transformations of the Keyblade such as guns.

• We’re planning it should be used as some sort of gimmick.

• Osaka’s team is working simultaneously on both KINGDOM HEARTS III and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX.

• Nomura said he is currently writing the scenario for KINGDOM HEARTS III now.

• FINAL FANTASY XV is still currently focused on development and I want you to wait until the timing is right to reveal more information.
