"not just as a temporary party member in the worlds, but also as summons."

Kim Possible again becomes...possible

(also, if she really end up with Ron after their dating stage, wouldn't she be Kim Stoppable? lol)

Ron would take Kim's name, obviously!

I edited a picture of the autograph Zephyr received from Nomura at the roundtable chat into the OP

I think it's awesome how versatile each of the respective sites are: Kingdom Hearts Destiny has such a beautiful website and it's french, Kingdom Hearts Union has podcasts, KH 13 has the best video library, and Destiny Islands has the best game walkthroughs.

You confused Disney Examiner with Destiny Islands xD

Again, this was not a formal interview, so we could not press for "secret information". It was a very casual meet-and-greet with fansite staff.

It also has absolutely nothing to do with my earlier post 8D

oh now I understand that makes sense actually tho it was very good interview and hope you guys do a another like this one of these days

 

[Nazo]

Hopefully we get to see what the more realistic or not-Disney shaders look like soon. I'm very curious.

 

[robvandam111]

Sitting is a way to put it!

Yeah, I'm really excited to see what will come of Disney's involvement because this really feels like the first game in the series besides KH1 where it feels substantial.

secretly hoping this paves the way for adorable KH tsumtsums and Disney Infinity figures and a reference in WIR2



I think the teacups are much more iconic in the states than they are outside of the states, so that might be why xD

The teacups beg to be rode when you are at Disneyland/Disney World because you HAVE to.



It wasn't like we didn't have bigger questions to ask, but we didn't want to risk asking him something he would not be able to answer and waste a question.



Was it in Florida or in Disney California?

I think it'd be even riskier hitting him with a toy keyblade; knocking him unconscious and running away with his mobile device to retrieve the data that we need to solve our questions lol.

I'm surprised you're working on psychology, you & Cecily would be GREAT Journalists.

As for the Tea Cups, my sister was just telling me I should go for some chili dogs from Casey's Corner, Disney's very own popcorn with butter and some frozen bars with a full stomach going into the Tea Cups to see the end result hehe. I came out of Crystal Palace years ago with a full stomach and went on it with my cousin, she drove that Tea Cup wildly fast and I some how managed to survive.

We'd have loved to, but since it wasn't a formal interview and more of just a meet-n-greet, we had to be really careful about not pressing for information, haha. So we just chose the ones that we felt would be safe for him to answer, but also that other sites might not have asked.

I'm very happy we got Chirithy's pronunciation out of that though~

You guys have a lot fun over there

which reminds me what questions were you guys not allowed to talk about beside the game development ? I am just wondering that all

 

[Anagram]

--In Kingdom Hearts I & II we were used to have a Disney character joining our party in each new world Sora and his friends visit. Will this mechanic be present in Kingdom Hearts 3?

Nomura: Right, the idea of having a Disney character joining your party was an important part of KH 1 & 2, so, yes you will be able to have Disney characters joining your team across the game, not just as a temporary party member in the worlds, but also as summons.

Finally something I'm interested to hear. Soras new look being something I was glad to see.

 

[Chaser]

Bless Chirithy.

Goldpanner was right all along!

*Drowns in the wave of Nomura interviews...

Man, guess it was a bad time to be away from the internet for a whole weekend. So many new Nomura interviews waiting to be read.... It is really good to get new info after such long and empty wait.

Really cool that you managed to talk with him. Some really interesting stuff was revealed.
How does these things usually work? Do you ask Square for permission to interview him? And if this was a more formal interview, how would things be different? Maybe one day somebody will ask him about the chamber and who Xemans talked to... That would end my sleepless nights.

Also it is good to know that the ATB things aren`t possible for KH. Aslo Nomura looked little nervous in the interview session.

Man, I really hope I would get something like this one day. Well, a man can dream.

SPEAKING OF WHICH-

I don't buy the reason why they can't give ATRs for Kingdom Hearts. How is Kingdom Hearts more precious in regards to spoilers than any other game? It hasn't stopped Square for ruining the plots of the previous games with their trailers.

I think it is more that Disney is super strict about how things get revealed. If we thought SE was serious about marketing schedules, Disney is probably the king of sticking to the plan and punishing those who stray from it. If it was just Disney or just Square Enix doing it, I'm certain it'd be easy to do streams like ATR or Letters from the Producer but there is a matter of having to go between each other to get approval and Disney might have plans that don't align with Square Enix's plans...If one reveals something before the other wanted it to be revealed, then it causes a huge bureaucratic issue.

Essentially it seems like Disney has gotten more involved than they were in the past and it is easier to avoid a mess by not doing this at all.

I personally just want to see more Messages from the Kingdom even if they are just blog posts about being tired/a silly story/food posts/staff's thoughts on merchandise or stuff they did in the past.

This must be it, Disney's involvement, at least from a publicity level, is much larger now so this makes sense. I hope we don't get a vignette before they announce every world though. I like being surprised by the trailers and jump scans.

Umm, I know, I'll look like a dummy now, but...
What is ATB anyway?

Active Time Battle

Battle System - The Final Fantasy Wiki - 10 years of having more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research!

But if you are referring to the other ATB, it's streaming that SE does for FFXIV and FFXV adn other games, that's mostly where we get how the games play.
