I don't think late 2015 is out of the question, but we can't really guess until we see their progress.

Some people did. I don't know who but they probably float around the KH FB or in the darker regions of the internet
Let us believe in Hazama, in the hopes that Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts is currently in the making to fill that gap.
This is what I was gonna say Theatrhtyhm Kingdom Hearts next year would be wonderful.
I firmly believe this was yet another concept meant for KH that was used for FF instead. No one can tell me otherwise because Rhythm Parade exists and preceded Theatrhythm by like 2 years. No way that is merely a coincidence considering how similar they are.
Facebook and Youtube, the darker half of the fanbase lol.I'm really happily surprised at the maturity regarding KH3 on this forum, as on the Facebook page people seem very impatient about it.
TLDRAL: KH3 is coming out in `15 get over it and stop being pessimistic.
TLDR: they won't take a year 'off' because its not in the pattern and too many people want this game, and they won't release anything else.
I was saying that as a joke... should have used the sarcasm font, sorry.Please, go on about how right you are and how wrong everyone else is. You clearly are a guru of the games industry...
By creating a pattern like that, it's pretty much a guarantee. And while I know it isn't 100%, they've never failed before, why start now? They don't want to let down the hype that's been building and will skyrocket after this year's E3. This plus what I said before are the reasons I think they'll keep to this pattern.Just for information, this one-game-per-year thing has never been a promise nor a commitment. It's just that Nomura would like that to happen, but it's not a must. Ergo, there is no pressure on their side to have to perpetually conform with the existing pattern.

A LOT of people, self-included, assumed that Nomura's game-per-year thing meant until the development of KH3. They're not going to rush a game to be out before it's ready just to commit to a game-a-year pattern. The casual fanbase you speak of has been dissapointed for the past 10 years waiting for a KH3. Hype isn't a real incentive for a group of people to rush out a game.
Besides the already stated fact that the pattern isn't necessarily a golden rule, keep in mind that the every game that has followed that rule was either a handheld or a port; a brand new console game would clearly need more care, attention, and work.TLDR: they won't take a year 'off' because its not in the pattern and too many people want this game, and they won't release anything else.
Complications with production and distribution, primarily. Production-wise, KH is a series that relies on its voice actors; big-name ones especially, such as Jesse McCartney and Haley Joel Osment. Naturally, there's going to be a lot of scheduling conflicts. Distribution-wise, it's still a AAA title, and one owned by Disney of all corporations. Remember the problems that Utada had with them? Needless to say, it's going to be complicated.TLDR: International Release because ynot
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Square in general seemed to have been nothing but busy, what with all of the other FFs, smaller KH titles, and whatnot. Square is in a unique position where they have strong presences in both sides of the globe that they have to maintain; I'm still wondering if Nomura is still having conflicts trying to raise a family at the same time.3. I think you'd be surprised with how much can be accomplished under a single mindset. A team of people working solely on KH3 means that it is going to be able to be created much faster than other projects. KH3's story is mapped out. What's going to happen is already almost completely set in stone, since they've had so much time doing nothing else.
When KH3 was revealed at E3, it wasn't anywhere near any real development; the interviews made it pretty clear that the demos were primarily meant to raise a little hype. If production was moving in full gear during the E3 reveal, then a Holiday 2015 release would've been more realistic.Holiday 2015 is already 2.5 years after E3, at which point KH3 was already in its beginning stages of being developed. While I agree that it was probably shown too soon, it was probably already a couple of months into development at that point, which means that KH3 will have been in development for probably three years. Once 2.5 is released later this year, (release date to be announced at E3) the whole team will be together to finish kh3.
TLDR: They're working hard and will have more than enough time.
I like to think that media coverage of a game pre-release is proportionate to the game itself. If anything, KH3 has a lot more potential for interviews and trailers than any of other titles after KH2; space it out just fine, and you'll keep your fanbase well-fed until release.4. As I stated earlier, but am now going to make a stronger point for, they don't want to let down the hype and disappoint the fanbase. If they push the release off to 2016 without Re:3D (or even if they do) or especially 2017, the 'casual' fanbase is going to be extremely disappointed.
TLDR: KH3 has a ton of hype right now, and they don't want to ruin it by not releasing it until 2017.
All of the coverage on KH3 up until this point has pretty much said otherwise; a couple demos and teasers are far from what I would call a reflection of any real production.I think that these reasons offer a strong case for KH3 coming out in 2015. While I know many of you want it to be pushed out so that they don't feel rushed, I can almost assure you that they already do. They've already known and started planning since they were developing KH3D, and have been working on it since the release of 1.5 and the (almost) release of 2.5.
You can't argue against how the opposite is far less often true, though.Let me remind you that taking extra time doesn't mean that it won't be less crappy.
I definitely think KH3 is coming out in Holiday 2015.
The reason I think this is for a couple of reasons.
1. KH has released game every single year, only taking a gap year after the release of a 'numbered' title. To violate this would be silly, unless...
Furthermore, I don't think they'll release Re:3D because Nomura has said before he wouldn't. Source: Tetsuya Nomura Expects New Kingdom Hearts Announcement Soon -- Andriasang.com
TLDR: they won't take a year 'off' because its not in the pattern and too many people want this game, and they won't release anything else.
Pokémon released X/Y at the same time all around the globe, to huge effect. Since it came out at the same time, it meant that people weren't importing them which made more money for overseas departments. While Kingdom Hearts is no where near as big as Pokémon, it's still a huge series. Companies are slowly moving towards international releases, and what better title for square to use to do so?
I'd argue that KH is bigger than FF. Most 'casuals' play KH because of its ties to Disney, and don't play FF as much because of its convolution. I hear much more hype about KH than FF, on various other video game forums.

Facebook and Youtube, the majority half of the fanbase lol.
I'm willing to bet that KH3 will release at a reasonable time, by our standards...and then everyone else will bitch about how unfairly long it took for KH3 to come out. It's almost as if barely anything's changed since KH3's reveal; everyone's bitching about the wait.
The casual fanbase you speak of has been dissapointed for the past 10 years waiting for a KH3. Hype isn't a real incentive for a group of people to rush out a game.
