E3 2013: Kingdom Hearts
So it seems Nomura has been keeping up with Disney's expansion. Sound like he has some worlds in mind.
My money is on anything from Studio Ghibli. Hayao Miyazaki always struck me as being a japanese Walt Disney.
With news that Disney now owns the rights do these various companies and their respective properties, of course Nomura would get interested and begin imagining the possibilities for those new characters and worlds inside of the Kingdom Hearts universe. In an E3 interview with IGN, he explained, “Whenever I hear of the news, I always say, ‘woah…they’ve done it again.’”
“The first thing I do when I find out this news is contact Disney and see if it’s something I can use [in Kingdom Hearts].”
We followed up by asking him if Disney had ever answered with a yes, to which he replied, “Disney’s companies are all very different. Sometimes the answer is ‘absolutely no,’ and sometimes the answer is, ‘…hmm, we don’t know...’”
