Next Kingdom Hearts title to be something small.

[King Chaser]

Hey everyone!
Some small, but exciting news tonight.

Thanks to Gematsu, we have some information from Tetsuya Nomura about the next Kingdom Hearts title:

He received the opinion that the storyline was difficult to understand.
There are other worlds closed by sleep, but that doesn’t mean where they’ll be going has been decided. They were guided by two members of Organization XIII to The World That Never Was.

Since it was known that the figure in the brown robe has dived into other words previously, it’s within reason to assume he guided Organization XIII but this may not be the case.

If there wasn’t a battle at the end of the game it would have felt anticlimactic, so an unplanned boss battle was added hastily.

Riku experiences his troubles and grows from it very much like an old fashioned “Square” main character. Riku’s character was made to be an unlikely hero type.

The timing when the worlds’ logos appeared indicates the boundary between reality and the dream.

“I figured since Lea had returned to his human form, it’d be no good if he didn’t have any power to bring back the person he wants, so I thought he should become a Keyblade Wielder.”

Since the place that the Mysterious Tower resides in is unknown, you enter via King Mickey’s world. Thanks to Merlin and the Fairies, time flows differently there.

“I worried about making Lea appear again, but I think sequentially he became a key character.”

“Regarding the title’s concepts, during Kingdom Hearts there hadn’t been anything past KH2 and Chain of Memories, then after that I thought of 358/2 Days, Coded, and Birth by Sleep. Thus conceiving the ideas for titles occurs through gradual stages.”

“Since I decided to make KH3D rather suddenly, the story I presented was rushed since it was still being planned.”

The fragmentary texts that appear in the secret movie are tied to the story of Kingdom Hearts, however there is no telling whether it will be explored hereafter. (He avoids saying whether or not it relates to the secret movie of Birth by Sleep Final Mix.)

(Will the next title finally be KH3?) “I’ll leave that up to you.”

(The next title…) “Maybe it’ll be something unexpected akin to a ‘fast ball’.”

It’ll be something “lightweight”, but he is refraining to divulge the unannounced title.

Perhaps this will be the IOS game he talked about in the June edition of GameInformer. Come to our forums to discuss this new development!

This "fastball" better not be an ios game :(

Kingdom Karts .

[crash13]

Maybe this will be about the stories we expected from BBSv2 but all on an ios game. lol

[King Chaser]

Kingdom Karts .

I can dig it.

If it does turn out to be an IOS game, I do hope it's not too expensive.

Fortune Street featuring Mario, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts.

Yeah i can't see anything else other than a IOs game after GameInformer's interview and about the "I will leave that up to you" first things first they forgot the *laughs* xD

Secondly and personally i think Osaka is on the job until the rest people come and join the party.

Other than that i am pretty sure TGS is the event we are waiting now for KH announcements etc etc

[King Chaser]

first things first they forgot the *laughs* xD

Or they just decided to not include it.

[devilsTrinity]

That line "I'll leave that up to you" rubs me the wrong way. It's like come on already. No one wants an iOS game. Just give us 3 already. I'm a diehard KH fan and I love all the games but it's time for a numbered title.

And you're the one making the game Nomura not us! You don't leave anything up to us ha

[kingjustink]

A little disappointed if the next game is in fact 'lightweight', and on the IOS. IMHO this 'small' game sounds like a desperate move to fill that 'one game per year' quota, and tide the fans over...

[sora4sky]

Or they just decided to not include it.

Or that....he's been laughing a lot lately. xD

I forgot in my previous post though that i wonder if we're going to see something Kingdom Hearts related to E3 other than KH3D.

and of course there is the HD collection. If you think about it....a "fastball" game coming next year say, and HD collection coming the year after and then KH3 makes sense i think.

He keeps his every year = 1 game and there is a lot of time in-between for KH3 to be finished. Of course until then we'll probably have PS4/720 coming so it makes you wonder not to say that anything could happen.

Ex: Versus, other games, problems in development, pressure etc

[Sephiroth0812]

I find it somewhat funny that Nomura says on one hand that he's concerned about the widespread console stuff and then comes up with some Iphone crap. lol.

It's abundantly clear however that it can't be KH3 since Versus still isn't finished and the final chapter of the saga also needs some serious allowed development time for something decent to come out of it.
There is no "KH3 already" since it cannot possibly exist in that short period of time.

So, there will be a possibility a KH game in IOS?
Hopefully, a new KH title will be announced soon >.>
