KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

Alas, there is still nothing that new to report on the title of Kingdom Hearts III, but with Japan's launch of the Playstation 4 this month, the title will be apearing alongside Final Fantasy XV in numerous magazines. Today, Sqex.Info has translated some scans from a recent Degenki article with comments from Shinji Hashimoto.

Again, nothing entirely new, but he does give some insight on the appeal of possibilities on the next gen console.

News has been a little slow of late, and in hopes of increasing some activity, I've been permitted by staff to see if site members would like to see the return of "KHV's Top 10." For those who don't know, the Top 10 was a countdown of several Kingdom Hearts related subjects from the votes of site members. The reason it was discontinued was due to a lack of votes, which caused a weak consensus to go on.

So in hopes of reviving these editorial pieces, I'd like to see how many members would pose interest in seeing the return of these fun little countdowns. Subjects can relate to recent news on upcoming titles, and any graphic artists can have their hand at volunteering to produce visuals. So if you would like to see a return of this, please post your interest below, or like the thread.

The initial thread with a link to all previous countdowns can be found here!

Recently, an internal Square-Enix Europe document (pictured below) has been circulating on the internet, containing information about their soon-to-be-released titles (like Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII) and titles still in development (notably Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III).


No doubt in impatience for said titles, The Game Inquirer took the change from a TBC release date to 2014 as confirmation that the game may out sooner than anticipated. Square replied to these rumors shortly after:
Suffice to say, Kingdom Hearts 3 won't be hitting the shelves anytime soon. From interviews and appearances, it's safe to say that the final chapter of the Xehanort Saga is still in very early development -- it's far too early to consider a release date, but that won't stop us from speculating! Anyone have predictions for a more realistic time frame?
