It's hard to tell from the way he words it, but his main point is that he wants more content in each world, regardless of how many worlds end up being in the game.
You are a child's PLAY THING! And here's a bonus: Spoiler
Edited OP with new interview snippets from IGN.
GameSpot got a chance to talk with 'Kingdom Hearts' series director, Tetsuya Nomura, during D23 to talk about certain aspects of 'Kingdom Hearts III'. One of those things was the development time, which for many fans, felt a bit too long, in which Nomura states: Nomura then talks about wanting to reveal all Disney worlds in KH3 prior to the game's release (something that has been done for every previous game in the series), saying: Nomura also gets to talk about potential DLC, stating: Finally, Nomura mentions how the worlds will have more to them than in previous entries, saying:
Welcome to KHV! Read and follow the rules, ask the staff if you have any quedtions just like Heart said, and enjoy the ride!
Feels suitable after today's KH3 news :3

Guys, Plums said that the staff is aiming to condense the category list, not make it worse... hehe, let me join in the fun! Most Shocking Roleplay Moment (yeah, I know there's a "Most Memorable", but memorable doesn't necessarily mean shocking)
View attachment 47498 With Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour- concluding with its final show in Osaka, Japan recently, Famitsu got to interview both the series director, Tetsuya Nomura, and the series composer, Yoko Shimomura, together. Check out a partially translated interview below courtesy of Saken from KHInsider: The full translation will be added when available.
~Clemont's and Bonnie's Home~ Bonnie and her Dedenne silently watched as Clemont was impatiently waiting for Hiccup to answer his call. "Grr.... he's not picking up!" Clemont exclaimed after Hiccup didn't answer his call, trying to call Manon instead, "Maybe Manon might answer." And almost immediately, Manon answered Clemont's call, much to his relief... "Clemont?" Manon answered her phone. "Manon, I'm watching what's happening on TV," Clemont replied, "What's going on?! And where's Hiccup?!" "I really don't know... everyone's panicking right now... and Hiccup just ran off," Manon answered, with Clemont able to hear her despite all the commotion happening around her. "He might've gotten to a safe spot outside the palace. I suggest you do the same," Clemont told Manon. "Got it! I'll text you once Harry and I get out," Manon replied as she hung up. "Well, Manon's okay. And Hiccup... might be," Clemont told Bonnie, wondering why Hiccup wouldn't answer if he got to a safe spot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Vermilion City Gym~ As Adéwalé and Aveline joined Lt. Surge in watching the live coverage of what was happening with Chernabog, Finnick breathed a sigh of relief after IF replied to his text, telling the others, "IF's fine, thankfully." "Oh, thank goodness," Aveline replied while Lt. Surge was relieved as well to hear his daughter was fine. Finnick then proceeded to text his sister once more: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace~ Spoiler: BGM "Yes! Hahaha!" Goldar exclaimed as he grew to the size of a giant, telling Chernabog, "Guess I'm gonna be helping you out!" Once the Power Rangers appeared with their Zords, Goldar commented, "Well, well, well... the puny Power Rangers wanna battle? Then let's show them!" Taking out his sword, Goldar slashed the Megazord, Dragonzord, and Tigerzord, while Chernabog roared and threw Flame Bullets towards the Dragonzord and Tigerzord, and then summoning a Wall of Flame to attack the Megazord. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace (again)~ As Will and Carlton were running to catch up with their family on the run, the two accidentally tripped on chairs, struggling to get up. "Oh no!" Vivian cried as she turned and noticed what happened. Seeing what happened to Will and Carlton, Geoffrey told the others, "All of you keep going! I'll go help them out!" "Thanks, Geoffrey," Ashley thanked her butler as she, Hilary, Philip, and Vivian continued their escape while Geoffrey ran towards Will and Carlton. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace - Exit~ "Keep going, keep going!" Officer Jenny and Don Eppes instructed individuals as they were running outside... "Is everyone in your group with you?" Jenny questioned Phil and the others as they were heading to the exit. "Most of us, I believe," Coulson answered. "But Yen Sid's still on stage trying to get as many students as he could to safety," Victor Sullivan added, "And I think I saw Setsuna run off, so I hope she's okay." "Alright, we'll try to see what we can do," Eppes told the group of teachers. "In the meantime, get to safety, now!" Jenny added as the teachers did as they were told, while the ground was shaking from the battle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace - Stairs~ While those in the Imperial Palace escaped through the exits, Harold Saxon and Harriet Jones took a different route, trying to head to the rooftop of the building. "You sure this is a good idea?" Jones questioned Saxon as they quickly went up the stairs while the building shook. "Don't worry!" Saxon tried to assure Jones, "A military helicopter is on its way. We'll be escorted out of here safely and soundly!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace (again x2)~ "Rei? Rei!" Grandpa Hino called out to Rei as she ran off with the other Scouts, "Where did she run off to?" "Piplup..." Chad replied, feeling just as confused as Grandpa was as they tried to find an exit in the midst of the panic. "Excuse me, sir. Looking for a way out?" Sunset Shimmer asked as she quickly approached Grandpa Hino and Chad... "Umm, yeah. But more importantly, my granddaughter is missing," Grandpa replied. "She's probably outside," Sunset said, "Follow me!" Nodding, Grandpa and Chad followed Sunset Shimmer as she led them to an exit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace (again x3)~ "There you guys are!" Trixie exclaimed after Xehanort and Gaston rejoined her, "Now let's get out of here!" "Right!" Gaston concurred. "You two go on ahead. I'll catch up later," Xehanort told the two, much to their surprise, "There's something I need to do." "Xehanort... there are two 50-foot monsters destroying the place as we speak... what could you possibly want to do right now that doesn't involve running for your life?!" Gaston questioned. "That doesn't concern you!" Xehanort replied sternly, "Now go and save yourselves!" Upset by the way Xehanort replied, Trixie and Gaston remained silent for a while before Trixie said, "Fine. Let's get out of here, Gaston." "Right behind you," Gaston replied as they turned around and ran, trying to find an exit. Sighing, Xehanort shifted his focus back to the battle, wanting to find a safe spot to watch it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tsukino Household~ "Huh, Luna, where are you going?" Rini asked as Luna left the room, leaving Rini alone with Darien. Peeking out the room, Rini noticed Claire and the others watching what was supposed to be the concert on TV, only to gasp at the sight of the battle happening there. "... yeah, I'm watching it on TV right now!" Claire told someone she was speaking with on her phone. "And to think... we were about to go there..." Ikuko commented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Hehehe... yes... this is perfect!" Thrax commented watching the battle at the Imperial Palace through his mother's telescope, "Now let's see how the Power Rangers deal with this predicament!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace (again x4)~ "There you are Loki!" Odin called out to Loki as he rejoined his family and friends. "Now let's get out of here!" Vanellope added as she and the others ran to an exit, successfully getting out. Looking up, the group watched as Goldar and Chernabog battle the Megazord, Tigerzord, and Dragonzord. "Unbelievable..." Xion commented. "Luna!" Celestia cried as she rushed towards her sister, glad to see that she made it out safe... "Sister!" Luna replied as she and Celestia shared a hug. Looking at his family and friends before turning to look at the battle once more, Thor thought, 'I must do something... perhaps now may be a good time to use my power.' Holding out his hand, Thor waited for his hammer, Mjølnir, to fly towards him all the way from his home. "Thor... what are you doing?" Frigga questioned her son, hoping he wasn't doing what she thinks he was going to do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Imperial Palace (again x5)~ Spoiler: BGM Flying high above the Imperial Palace on Toothless's back, Hiccup (in his Rider form) watched as the battle raged on. "We gotta help them!" Hiccup commented, "Let's go, bud!" Nodding, Toothless flew towards Chernabog, ready to blast the monster with plasma blasts. However, before the dragon could even attack, Hiccup and Toothless were attacked by a powerful fireball on the right, sending them crashing onto the rooftop of the Imperial Palace. "Ugh, what was that?" Hiccup wondered out loud as he and Toothless slowly got up. "Hey there... miss me?" Vanitas (in his Rider form) asked Hiccup as he landed across from him and Toothless... Vanitas ~The Boy in the Mask~ "You!" Hiccup exclaimed, remembering the mysterious Rider from their last battle. "Look at it... beautiful, isn't it?" Vanitas commented as he pointed to the battle happening. "Has the Crystal Order been planning this?!" Hiccup questioned the Rider whose identity he still didn't know. "I won't confirm or deny it," Vanitas replied, "But know this... everything has been leading up to this moment. And from this point on... NOTHING will be the same again." "Sorry, not a big fan of riddles," Hiccup said as he summoned his Banaspear. "Hmph, then how's this for a non-riddle..." Vanitas replied as he summoned his rapier, "The era of Zordon's warriors is coming to an end." Hiccup and Vanitas then charged at each other, both swinging their weapons against the other, and both masterfully blocking the other's attack. As for Toothless, the dragon continuously attempted to either lunge at Vanitas or shoot him with plasma blasts, with the evil Rider either teleporting out of the way or blocking the attack with his rapier. "I'm impressed, you're a lot better than when we last battled," Vanitas commented as he and Hiccup battled. "What do you mean by the era of Zordon's warriors is coming to an end?!" Hiccup questioned. "Wouldn't wanna spoil it for ya," Vanitas replied as he hit Hiccup and Toothless with a Dark Thundaga attack, "But don't worry, you'll know soon enough." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ "Another one, huh?" Alpha replied to Go after noticing his Mach Driver, "Really wish these were better circumstances so that we'd properly introduce ourselves." "Good luck, Rangers, and may the power protect you," Zordon told the Power Rangers as they left to battle Goldar and Chernabog. Watching the events of the battle on the Viewing Globe, Alpha cried, "Aye-yi-yi! Be careful Rangers!"
As KH fans know by now, there will definitely be some KH3 news next week during D23. Last month's trailer confirmed two things we'll be getting. A new world and a new trailer longer than the last one. However, it appears that some KH fans may be expecting a bit too much from D23 next week, and the series director, Tetsuya Nomura, took note of that, giving a message to fans during a Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour- concert in Osaka: By "normal new KH3 info", what we should expect from D23 is exactly what was promised in the last trailer, a new world and a new trailer. Anything else would simply be raising expectations too high. So don't expect a release date, an additional new world or two, or a confirmation by Utada to perform a new song. Source: @RedMakuzawa
