Was Axel Talking about KH Here?

Doesn't the "perfect little script ... forgot the sequel" line kinda ring eerily close to the actual KH story?
Like, I almost feel like a disgruntled translator is behind this

 

What do you mean?

KH got a sequel.
So a sequel regarding what?

 

Even the kingdom hearts characters know about the long awaited kh3

 

They made a sequel
but they forgot to write it

 

still not following (long day, really tired)

 

Probably regarding KHIII. XD

 

but they haven't even written the game yet.
and he said sequel to KH.

 

Oh yeah... I'm an idiot... XD I'm not even sure what hatok is talking about now then.

 

Maybe he's saying it wasn't planned?

 

It's probably a joke referring to how they have this story planned out to span past 3 games, but they've forgotten the 3rd game.

 

No, the joke is that they made KH, but everything went into crazy fanfic territory after that, almost as if they weren't expecting to make a sequel, and thus forgot to write one

 

Me understands now. The answer is maybe.

 

Amusing. But the joke was mostly ruined for me due to Nomura's interview:

— Speaking of the previous titles, about when do you start thinking of the ‘next title’?
Nomura: It’s a gradual process. When Kingdom Hearts was in production, I was considering ideas for Kingdom Hearts II and Chain of Memories. And when those two were in production, I was thinking of ideas for the next three, 358/2 Days, Coded, and Birth by Sleep.

 

Naw, there's no way KH is planned ahead. In fact, that proves my point. They play this a sequel at a time. They don't really think in the long term at all, hence the new organization, and such

 

Why would Nomura lie about that though? Lol. And obviously he had ideas for Re:CoM and KH2 while making KH1, because of the "Another Side, Another Story" secret ending.. lol.

 

I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't/didn't forget about the last game of the series (at least last game of the main storyline). It's a rediculous concept to think that they haven't been planning on it since or before the release of KH2. I'm sure Nomura and the rest are catching enough crap from aggravated fans because they haven't gotten their "fix" yet. It's called patience. The game will be released before you even know it.

 

This is getting hard to watch

The bottom line is it was an awkward joke and everyone's taking it way too literally

Nomura's been fumbling the ball since the first game, and his strategy of only thinking a few games ahead is a pretty clear indicator of why that is. When you're writing a series, you write the whole thing at once, period. If you don't, the pieces don't fit; overarching themes are juggled or outright tossed aside, disproportionate numbers of characters from any one installment may get more of the spotlight than they really should, and the plot becomes hard to handle. That said, if you asked me 3D picked the ball back up and ran it straight to the goal. It responded to all those themes, characters, and dangling plot threads in a way that made them look as if they're all telling the same story. 'Bout time, too; KHIII needed something solid to back it up. II definitely was not that something solid, Days and BbS were good but also prequels, Coded is hardly worth the mention, and all the others were just ports.

 

Ah, I see.

My bad.
