3 New Kingdom Hearts Games in Development, Including KH3!!!!!

Nomura... Confirms!

Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the Kingdom Hearts franchise of games has confirmed that 3 new Kingdom Hearts games are planned, after Birth by Sleep releases.

Inthe"Birth by Sleep Ultimania"that contains an interview with Nomura, he had the following to say -

"About the next title, Kingdom Hearts 3 depends on Final Fantasy XIII Versus, but development of the next title is already underway. There are two titles other than Kingdom Hearts 3 in conception, and I think I'll release one within this year."

"As from next year, I want to put out a title with multiple main characters."

"The series won't end in Kingdom Hearts 3, more like the conclusion of the Xehanort saga."

"It's not the case that when Sora's story is over another hero's story will begin; Sora will be the hero until the end."

And on theWestern version of KH: BBS -

"We added the Critical degree of difficulty, more cutscenes, more songs to the Rhythmic Ice Cream mini game, more Keyblades, more types of enemies and altered battle balance. I still can't say we'll release a Final Mix, but we can't give it the generous treatment like with Re: Chain of Memories."

Thanks for the translation (and news!) goes to HeartStation.org

Anyway... Let the seemingly contantdebates over where KH3 will end up, commence.

This is a shame... :(

So they will milk KH like hell ==;.

I liked the first two, don't know if I'll ever play any other games in the series. People really seem to like Disney and FF characters though.

GENEROUS??? That was Generous!? We asked for Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2! not Re: Chain of Memories! (well some did but I had already gotten Chain of Memories for the GBA) The only thing Re: Chain of Memories did for us was see the cutscenes in full motion and hear what the other members of the Organization were like! other than that it was the same!

Cool. I will definitely get them if they are good.

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"] How so? My understanding is that the other 2 titles purposes are to fill in plot holes...I really dont see how any of this is negative news...Its not like its "Kingdom Karts"....

I guess its different here FF = different worlds + stories but KH its the same world + story so stretching it too far will make it sux.

There is such thing as having a story that is too short to have a impact, and there is such thing as having a story drag out so long that the quality greatly deteriorates.

Kingdom Hearts told a story, and that story is done, what their doing is adding useless things to it to get more profit. Just like how Naruto has 14-16 pages per chapter and over 600 chapters, it's all about cash.

Not really, this is more a case of main line selling more than spin off. Not that KH3 will be on the Wii but its not that the PS brand is stronger for the title lol. Reverse the titles and the sales would reverse as well.

Its essentially KH0. Its basically mainline. I mean you can argue technicality if you want, I won't fight you on it but in terms of importance, development and treatment, it was a mainline game.

Unlease you mean the quality of both games again 358/2 was on DS and probably thats DS limit and the same going to happen if you consider PS3 and Wii.

(this was supposed to be added to the previous post :P but you replied too fast so I couldnt edit it lol).

[QUOTE="Yandere"]

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]You think the quality will suffer over time? Sure if the series starts overstaying its welcome, fine, end it. But, thats not whats happening. 358/2 got great reviews and many are saying that BBS is the best KH yet...wolverine4262

The storyline was about some preteen hoping from Disney world to Disney world to save some annoying girl, Square is slowly moving away from that concept. It's seems to be turning into some sort of Soap Opera for example:

"Oh no _____ happened in the storyline, what will Square Enix do?"

A.) Don't tell the players why it happened

B.) Give the players a small idea of what happened

C.) Trick the players into what happened

Now whatever Square Enix chooses they could put that plot device into a sequel to give some false sense of literary depth or just to extend the story.

I'm just rambling now but you might get what I'm saying.

Just for the sake of being clear, I don't want KH3 on the Wii. I want it on the PS3 for sure. I'm just saying that BBS was the more serious project of the 2 and the marketing and treatment reflected that. Not so much the actual platform. Though I still insist BBS was basically mainline.

Well what you are saying might be true and some how I agree with BBS was the serious project.

So.........is this becoming Square Enix next FF?

That's terrible.:(I wanted the series to be simply a trilogy: KH1, KH2, KH3. After I saw that they were making one game for each handheld I still didn't think it was too bad but this is beginning to get ridiculous. Next thing you know this will become the next FFVII with millions of spin-offs (and remakes).

Kingdom Hearts I and II final mix collection on the PS3 would be so awesome!

Well, my interest in the series died with BBS sleep so you can count me out.

Not sure how I feel about this. As long as the games actually have new storylines I see no problem. My only fear is Nomura continuing to run with the "Guess who's Sora's clone is now?" theme.

Is this the new trend now, where they work on three games for the same series?

Nomura all i want from you dont make one of my fav series of all time bad milkage and end it sometime soon.and my day has been made with the confirmation on Sora being the hero till the end:D
