Tetsuya Nomura Interviewed by Famitsu

Heart ❤ · Jun 15, 2017

Last night, series creator, Tetsuya Nomura, appeared at the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra event in Los Angeles and reveled the new Kingdom Hearts III trailer.

During this event, Famitsu magazine spoke with him about the Kingdom Hearts III trailer that was released and a few other things as well, including the fact that there will in fact be another trailer at D23, which will contain new features/scenes, and that tomorrow's upcoming patch of Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 ReMIX will include NEW cutscenes for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (strangely enough!)

What do you think about new scenes being added for Days? Let us know your thoughts down below and we'll be sure to give you the full interview once a translation is available.

EDIT:

Here is the fully translated interview (courtesy of KH13):

The concert was amazing. How was it from the side of the scene ?

Nomura : I mentioned it while I was on stage but, the images and the music were made so that they would perfectly fit and I thought it was amazing while I was watching. Also Shimomura became better at playing the piano during the concert in each countries until Los Angeles ( laugh ). At the final event in Osaka she will be perfect don't you think ? ( laugh )

There is a lot of pressure on Shimomura ( laugh ). Everyone was cheering you when you started your speech.

Nomura : On stage I wanted to speak about the fixes and updates for Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD Remix but I was overwhelmed by the voices of everyone cheering and I forgot what I was supposed to say (sarcastic laugh)

What is the content of the update.

Nomura : The addition of the theater mode for KH and of a few cutscenes in KH 358/2 Days. I wanted to add it sooner but it needed more time and the timing met up with this event.　

The reception of the new promotional video was amazing too. Because is didn't seem that there was going to be a trailer or an announcement about Kingdom Hearts III at E3, this was a pleasant surprise for the fan.

Nomura : There is a lot of misunderstanding about it. The choice to show or not to show something is up to the ones making the conferences. We just used the timing of the concert being at the same time as E3 to announce it.

Considering that the informations are going really fast during the conference, it seems better to announce it that way for the fans. The battle felt rich with all the Keyblade transformations, there was a lot of action and we could see the different worlds.

Nomura : But this battle scene was only in the Hercules world.

Was it ? There was so much thing that I thought it was from various worlds.

Nomura: Also, the next trailer will have a Japanese version and a North american version but the battle scenes were from an actual gameplay footage so we couldn't make them exactly the same. It will look the same but if you compare them you will be able to see the differences. So I would like the core fans to look at both trailers.

At last, the D23 Expo 2017 occur next month.

Nomura : The editing of the D23 trailer is being finalized right now but I think that not only it will be longer than the orchestra trailer, it will also show some new elements that should meet everyone's expectations.

I hope these scenes are the battles that were originally skipped. However, knowing Nomura, they're probably going to be scenes that further connect to the overarching plot (like the two extra scenes added for Re:coded's cinematics), which I'll be happy to have, but still... I really wish we got the Days battles as cutscenes (the final Xion battle would look amazing!)

Wait, we're getting more cutscenes for Days? Guess I'll have to pop the game in tomorrow and watch them. And I agree with Roxam, I'd really love to see the final fight with Xion as a cinematic. It'd look awesome

I hope he pops up for the NY portion of the tour. ^.^ It'd be really cool to see him in person.

Two versions of the trailer. That means English voice acting. That's it. I'm gonna cry.
