Kingdom Hearts 3 Previewed in January Game Informer

Posted by Misty : Dec 19, 2013 at 12:46 AM ( 22 , 5,292 )

Amidst a relatively slow news cycle, Kingdom Hearts III recently appeared in the new issue of Game Informer. Its feature was merely part of their "Previews" section, so it's no in-depth look at the title. Still, Nomura drops some interesting details about the gameplay in the title, the focus of the story, and the future of the series, while continuing to play it close to the vest.

You can read the full text below, or if you prefer, check out the attached scan.

Kingdom Hearts III
Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Style: 1-Player Action/Role-Playing
Publisher: Square-Enix
Developer: Square-Enix
Release Date: TBA

After finally announcing the official development of Kingdom Hearts III at E3, Square Enix gave us a taste of what's cooking in a new trailer revealed at Disney's D2 event in Japan. The teaser showed off some gameplay additions, and we had the chance to ask creator Tetsuya Nomura about these new features and his plans for Kingdom Hearts III.

Dream Drop Distance left us with a revelation: Seven Keyblade wielders must be gathered to take on Xehanort. Kingdom Hearts III's main story concludes Xehanort's arc, and Nomura says it picks up "immediately after the events of Dream Drop Distance."

Nomura also reveals some main plot points. "The process of the wielders coming together will be the main storyline, but one of the highlights of the climax is going to be who is part of the seven lights and thirteen darkness when they get to the final battle," he says. "Would it be as everyone expected, or will there be unexpected members added to the mix? That is something to look forward to."

The plot isn't the only thing to anticipate, though, as the trailer reveals Sora's Keyblade can now transform into different weapons. The trailer shows Sora wielding dual guns mid-battle. "All Keyblades transform, and in many different ways," Nomura says. "Through the series, various other skilled Keyblade wielders had transformed their weapon; it may serve as a hint to see what they transformed their Keyblades into, in order to understand the different ways in which they changed their form."

The biggest revelation is that attractions are now a part of Sora's arsenal as special attacks. One of these is Big Magic Mountain, where Sora rides a train through the sky, going upside down and taking twists and turns to damage a towering golem [the Rock Titan]. Nomura confirms it's not tied to the Keyblade abilities, but instead the enemy you're up against. "When the appropriate attack becomes available, the player can activate it," he says. This is by far the most exciting innovation we've seen for the new installment.

We have to wait to learn more details about Kingdom Hearts III, but Nomura gives some insight into his vision. "It will be a summation of everything accumulated up to this point, in terms of both story and game mechanics," he says. "I'm sure that those who've followed the series up to now are very eager to see what's next, but I think it's also important to create wonder and awe, much like when the first game in the series came out."

He leaves us with one last interesting tease. "The end also means a new beginning, and I'm certain that as this story arc ends, players will be able to look forward -- carrying this excitement -- for something new and different, never-before-seen in the series," he says. Where Kingdom Hearts III will lead us is anyone's guess, but it's far from the end of the franchise, and that's a good thing for dedicated fans. Kimberley Wallace

Nomura interview with Degenki Playstation

Posted by Krowley : Nov 30, 2013 at 12:15 PM ( 1 , 1,198 )

As part of a 5 set questionnaire, Nomura, along with 54 other game creators gave their replies to Degenki's questions regarding future titles and projects. The 5 questions and Nomura's answers have been translated by Sqex.Info and can be read below.

Q1. What titles have left an impression on you, outside of your own works?

Nomura: Titanfall.

Q2. What about it left an impression?

Nomura: The high presence, realistic battles utilizing extraordinary, giant robots.

Q3. Do you have a message regarding memories of your works and plans for upcoming titles?

Nomura: Mainly that Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix came out this year, and I tried participating proactively in an overseas event, but I was even more pleased to experience the fan’s excitement for myself. Here as well at D23 Expo Japan, I got to stand in front of fans again after such a long absence, and was happy that the fan’s fervor wasn’t outdone by the overseas experience. We are still preparing to release Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix next year, but we’ll continue working our hardest on Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 as well.

Q4. Besides games, what are you most interested in next year and why?

Nomura: Obviously, I think there will be a trend towards new hardware systems. You can’t predict what players will think until they’ve used the new systems, so once we know, I expect that the player’s opinions will partly influence the titles currently being developed.

Q5. What are your thoughts on the 2013 gaming market and prospects regarding the future?

Nomura: I think that the current gen will push the social market trend for another year and next year onward the future of the consumer market will be decided by the next generation hardware. I have a multifunctional hybrid market in mind, something that interacts with other devices, etc.
