KH3: The Return of Sora? + Scans

Posted under 358/2 Days, Birth by Sleep, Coded, Interviews, Kingdom Hearts, Scan by Olivia on May 27th, 2009

The issue of Dengeki PS going on sale this weekend contains an interview with Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura and apparently it Kingdom Hearts 3! Thanks to FF7AC Reunion for the tip! Here are some quotes from the interview:

ff7ac1532

  • “Once all three currently announced Kingdom Hearts titles are complete, maybe Sora’s turn will come.”
  • “It was said that Coded is made through Disney.”
  • “Birth by Sleep is in a terrible state of affairs schedule-wise, but [we] will give up our holiday aiming to make it by the end of the year.”*
  • “Of the three new titles, Birth by Sleep has the most volume and full voice acting.”
  • And there is also talk of “Birth by Sleep being a prelude to Kingdom Hearts 3.”
  • New chapters of Coded begin releasing June 3rd 2009.

Lastly, the Weekly Famitsu issue releasing May 29th features Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days on the cover, with the Famitsu mascot cosplaying as Roxas! It’s an entertaining image to say the least; you can check it out to below.

    Ah! I remember a similar image of Axel and Sora on that same magazine from last year. Hysterical. :D I wonder if the ‘It’ll be Sora’s turn’ eludes to a Kingdom Hearts III.

    Thanks again, Olivia! I’ll look over these scans tonight!

    Um…Maybe it’s just me, but on the last Famitsu scan (with Goofy and Donald) you can see two screenshots with Xemnas (top left screenshots). On the bottom one you can see Xemnas’s icon with normal hair (screenshot with Twilight Town). But on the first one you can see Xemnas with different hairstyle… Like Xehanort’s Heartless hairstyle…
    Saix’s new sword is cool. New picture of Coded is nice. Thanks, Olivia.

    Thanks Olivia
    Most of the Scans just rehash what we already know and have seen but the news on Sora’s return is promising.Bbs is starting to get me hyped. Hope it isn’t too rushed with all the Days commotion

    This is some of the best news i’ve heard in a long time! I really want them to bring Sora back for KH3, and lord knows i’ll buy a playstation to play it

    Sora FTW!

    Nomura said forever and ever ago that the main titles would be Sora’s story, so it’s not like this is surprising. >_>

    But hey, at least it’s another reassurance.

    As for BbS and it’s scheduling issues… well, the end of the year honestly seemed really soon, given how little we’ve heard about it! I guess that makes sense, even though I didn’t expect it. Hrm.

    ^ wait i don’t understand.. does this mean that BBS is in a bad position and might come/release very very late? or does it mean that nomura&crew are going to work their asses off to have it release during like christmas or end of the year holidays? or does it mean that they use to aim at releasing it near christmas but they’re giving up that aim because they’re behind and are going to release it in 2010? gahh..sorry i don’t understand that sentence at all -__-

    yay, im so happy there’s going to be more BBS news and that BBS will be the longest! ;D

    this is like the best news iv heard all year.

    I’m loving that new artwork of Coded on the second-to-last page… I’d probably never get that game (358/2 Days all the way!), but a wallpaper or something of that art sure would be amazing.
