Hasegawa on Kingdom Hearts 3 + Updates

Posted under 358/2 Days, Interviews, Kingdom Hearts, Scan by Olivia on April 24th, 2009

I’ve started translating the interview with Nomura and Hasegawa in the Nintendo Dream issue. Here is the last question posed to them mentioning Kingdom Hearts 3.

?? Hasegawa-san, Nomura-san, you created the series together. Is there ever the feeling that there won’t be a next installment?

Hasegawa: There surely will be. I really can’t think of any reason why not, if everyone’s heated support continues. When it is said "Nomura will do III," I can’t say we haven’t thought of anything.

I wonder what they’ve thought of so far? As for the translations I know many people are anticipating them, but I can’t promise to have it all done in a short amount of time. It’s by far the longest interview I’ve dealt with and on top of that, it’s finals week. Obviously school is my top priority, but I’ll try and update a little bit each day.

The official box art for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has been posted on the Square Enix E-Store, you can see it to the right. It’s just as many people anticipated it would look, featuring the latest illustration from Tetsuya Nomura. By the way, you can also see it has a CERO rating of A, which means the title has been assessed to be suitable for gamers of all ages.

The official Japanese website for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days updated with two more new videos under the ‘System’ section. One of them featuring the Limit Break feature and the other is a character introduction of Axel featuring his weapon use. I’d begun translating the other two videos the site updated with earlier, but along with these they’re going to have to wait until I finish other things.

Square Enix Members Japan updated their Downloads section with two new Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days wallpapers featuring calenders of the month of May with the 30th marked. I uploaded them to HEARTSTATION.ORG so viewers can download them.

And lastly, by request from a HEARTSTATION.ORG visitor, I took close up scans of the illustrations of Roxas and Xion / Roxas and Axel featured in the Nintendo Dream issue. You can check them out below.

    I really like the cover for the DS case. It’s one of my favourite illustrations so far. Can’t wait for my copy! Thanks for sharing and translating parts of the interview so far, Olivia! Even though you’re busy you’re still sharing stuff with us, so we all appreciate it. ^_^ *hearts*

    I hope they start KH III soon after Birth by Sleep. Of course they have lots of support!

    ‘And finally, thanks for posting the wallpapers and posting higher qualities of the illustrations. They’re very pretty! Must save when I get home. XD
