Tetsuya Nomura shares Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary Message + Sketch

[Oracle Spockanort]

I wonder if Lauriam will keep his long hair when his somebody reapers.

I can see him growing it out more after being inspired by Rapunzel.

Oh man I’d love to see his hair long! Or like cut short we at the top with a long ponytail…Lauriam has options tbh

Damn it Silver…now I want something I know Nomura won’t do xD

He prolly will since outside of like...MX, Dilan and Braig[for one scene], all recompleted Nobodies look just as they were.

Translation from the NA KH account

"Thank you for your messages celebrating the 20th Anniversary. Sorry I’ve not been able to prepare anything special as we’re busy with the upcoming anniversary event. I started the illustration for it, I’m nervous about whether it’ll be done in time." - Tetsuya Nomura

Do you guys think that the picture is going to go up to KH4 and show us what the main characters are going to look like in that game? Or at least give us a sneak peek of their new looks, like that one KHX anniversary art?

I'm just glad that Namine was included in the early sketches. It means that she's at least on his mind and not forgotten (like the KH3 intro).

Would love that - hope we get to see new outfits for Aqua, Ven and Terra

I think it's possible we could get Yozora and his crew at least. Even disregarding Re:MIND and KH4 they still did show up in KH3 through the Verum Rex commercial

 

[Zackarix]

Even Nomura's sketches are masterpieces. I still need an art book for this man's work.

FF7 Remake team did this for KH 20th Anniversary. Good to see it's not only KH celebrating FF7 Anniversary.

Anni artwork

 

[2 quid is good]

Xigbar looks unhinged , I love the artwork, it's fantastic. It's interesting to note who made it in and who's missing though!

I laughed at Roxas in the initial sketch being mistaken for Kairi / Xion due to it looking "bland" but I felt sad when Xaldin and Leaxaus wasn't included

As for Riku...

Them being excluded sucks more when you remember they had no dialogue in KH3, lol
