Nomura Interview in New Dengeki Magazine; Reveals TGS Plans

Posted by Ty : Aug 9, 2011 at 6:29 PM ( 14 , 3,473 )

Hey, guys.

Sorry I haven't been on the update tip in a few days, but I have some pretty awesome news here for you all, given to me by sectional moderator Sabby. In the upcoming issue of Dengeki PlayStation, which will be its 500th magazine, we will be given an interview Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura, as reported by Andriasang. Nomura will discuss Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, the latest with the Final Fantasy series, what we should expect from Tokyo Game Show 2011, and HD remakes of previous titles for KH's 10-year anniversary. You can read the full Andriasang below:

We know that Final Fantasy Versus XIII won't be at the Tokyo Game Show (in case you didn't know, read this story). So what will Square Enix be showing in its booth (besides Assassin's Creed Revelations)?

In this week's Dengeki PlayStation (as summed up at Sokuho@Hokanko), Tetsuya Nomura reveals that the company plans on having playable versions of Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Type-0, Kingdom Hearts 3D and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

XIII-2 was already playable at E3, and Type-0 will get a downloadable demo later this week. But TGS should end up being our first chance to get hands-on time with Kingdom Hearts 3D and Theatrhythm.

Joining the playable titles, Square Enix will have its usual Open Megatheater showing the latest game footage. Nomura hopes to release the footage from this online as soon as possible (you'll recall that they managed to do this last year, much to everyone's surprise.)

Nomura had some strong words for KH3D, saying that its quality is at the level of a console game. The motions that were shown in the game's trailers have been fully realized, right down to running on the walls. KH3D will have the flashiest motion of the series thus far, he promised.

The development schedule for KH3D has reached high pitch, Nomura said. He hopes to release it as soon as possible following the start of the new year.

The interview also touched briefly on the future of the Kingdom Hearts series. Nomura admitted that it's become difficult to get new players into the series at present. This is one thing they're hoping to address as part of the series' 10th anniversary. One part of this plan is some sort of "HD technical test" for the series.

Kingdom Hearts 3D won't be the only Nomura title that comes out early next year. Nomura also said to expect Theatrhythm, a project on which he's serving as creative producer, early in the new year. He referred to the 3DS rhythm title as the first Final Fantasy 25th anniversary title, suggesting that more could be on the way.

Correction: A previous version of this story wrote that Nomura said Kingdom Hearts 3D is his priority. Nomura did not actually say this. What he said is that he's thinking about the Kingdom Hearts franchise's 10th anniversary, but the completion of Kingdom Hearts 3D takes priority over this.

Adding to this, duckroll from NeoGAF is reporting that Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show floor. You can read his full article here:

In the big interview with Nomura, Dengeki talks to him about various developments in the current games he's involved in. They also talk about the Kingdom Hearts series. There are some interesting tidbits there. Nomura talks about how development on KH3D is progressing rapidly, but their schedule is pretty tight. He wants the game to have the quality of a console title, without compromising just because it is on a portable. He also mentions that the game is mostly up and running now, and it looks great. The motion and animation is supposed to be particularly impressive because of the various flashy moves you can do, such as Sora's wall jumping. He says the game is supposed to have the most impressive character movement in gameplay in the series so far, and honestly since it's from the BbS team, I believe him completely.

He also talks about the 10th Anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, and how their priority right now is to finish KH3D, but he is also thinking about other things. One element he is concerned about is how hard it is for new gamers to enter into the KH series. This inaccessibility for the series is something they are currently investigating, to see how they can introduce new gamers into the series in a better way. Another thing they are looking into is HD technology for the series. They are evaluating the options they have carefully.

As for when KH3D will be out, he says there is nothing to announce at the current moment, but he is definitely aiming to release the game not too far in the future. It sounds like he wants to release it by early 2012 if possible. KH3D will be playable on the TGS show floor.

That's it for now, folks! Pretty exciting, huh? We'll be sure to keep an eye out for more information on all of this as it appears.

Hey, guys!

A writer from Famitsu got their hands on a demo for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance.

Furthermore, there will be two new party members to aid Sora in Traverse Town. The person who wrote the article censored the names of the characters.

Famitsu Readers Want Square Enix PSP Remasters

Posted by Ty : Jul 27, 2011 at 5:45 PM ( 15 , 2,331 )

Along with the PlayStation Vita poll Famitsu held, another one was put up on their site to see which PSP games they would like to see remastered for the PlayStation 3. If you saw E3 in June, you'll remember that Sony announced that their Monster Hunter and God of War PSP games will be making their way to the high-selling console.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep ended up being the top-voted game in the poll, which goes along with the hopes of us fans. Also, for those who are fans of the Final Fantasy PSP titles, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core and Dissidia: Final Fantasy placed second and third in the poll.
