thank you sign icant wait to see what they have in store for the event and what world will be annouce there?
I'm so excited for this. I bet this is where we're finally going to get a more substantial amount of information about KH3. And omg that Final Form figure is glorious.
time to stalk voice actor blogs for attendance confirmations
Believe in Mamoru~ He revealed himself last time <3
I'll try to keep my hype at a reasonable level. Though the closer we get the harder it shall become. Even though we only got BH6 (pfffft only) at this last D23, I think the November one shall be meaty.
Not gonna lie, I buy two of those.
A trailer and guests at D23 Japan, what else to make at least November mangable during school?
Things are moving a long very smoothly. I can't wait until we get there!
That figure looks freakin' fabulous. Too bad it'll probably be way out of my price range.
New video and new info, huh? If it's about the same as this D23, I'll be happy.
I hope they'll allow recording so everyone can watch the event! Last years special event not being able to see it just about killed me. The suspense of this game is nerve wrecking. Im glad it's in full swing though. I want to see the new original world though. Everything we've seen has been very Sora centered with some xehnort sprinkled in. I need more of the others. I'm so stuck between watching all the videos and cutting myself off so everything's a surprise when I get to play it.

I'm expecting more for the Premium Event since it's a dedicated KH event, and it takes place before D23 Japan even begins in a separate venue. There's a lot more flexibility for them to talk and present as well, so I hope it goes well.
Yeah, they have to fill an entire 1.5 hours + have enough stuff to make the reception worth sticking around for.

YASUE: and now, the international release date is-
*nomura steps on stage, motioning tai to keep a lid on it and laughs*
NOMURA: please be patient. i have been balancing my life at square enix with accordian lessons and will now give you all an exclusive concert.

I might be just as satisfied if that were to happen.
I cannot wait for this. Hopefully there's a release date. If I were to get that, I'd ignore all KH news until then because I wouldn't want to spoil much for myself.
The Final Form looks nice.
Ah, I was wondering when there would be a Final Form figure.
Anyways, this seems interesting. Anyone want to make any bets that we'll finally get a (tentative) release date during this D23?
Yeah, they have to fill an entire 1.5 hours + have enough stuff to make the reception worth sticking around for.
Oh, it's an hour and a half long? That's great. I thought it was like 45 mins or something, for some reason. Well, that should be plenty of time for news, especially since this is its own thing and they don't have to rush to make time in order to accommodate the other panels.
If they don't announce a PS4 collection or DDD HD at TGS (which they probably won't, because FFXV), I'm hoping it might happen here, since they announced 2.5 last time.

i'm hoping for this so bad. i was honestly disappointed at e3, but that's my own fault for hyping the remasters over the big III.
Ooh, an 1.5 hour show just for Kingdom Hearts. This will be really interesting. And that Final Form figurine... so cool.
How many worlds do you think they will reveal in the D23?
The least I expect is about 1-3 worlds.

honslty the best place to announce to it would been at e3 this year that want the case unless we get the kingdom hearts fan event in november it not happing
the "kingdom hearts fan event in november" is literally what we are talking about. d23 japan? kh premium theater?

Mostly likely one new world or two if we're really lucky.
Dat Final Form figure!:D
Anyway, I'm all ready getting super hyped up again by all this. I don't know what's wrong with me. But, hey: last time I got one of my questions asked at D23 in Japan, so who knows what awesomeness could happen this time?:)
Also, what do you guys think the chances are they might announce a KHIII themed PS4 at this event? It's probably too early for that type of thing, right?
Not gonna lie... it'd be cool if they announced something like that this early, though, because I'm kind of holding off on buying a PS4 until I see if there's going to be a KH-themed one, but I don't want to wait too long, either.
...Don't know why, but I'm also feeling like we might get our first story trailer at this event, in which case I'm definitely high-tailing it away from there, unfortunately (as I don't want to be spoiled for story stuff). But we'll see what happens, I guess.
As far as I'm concerned, D23 can't get here fast enough! Whatever is shown, I'm sure it'll make for an amazing early Christmas gift for us fans! ^_^
How many worlds do you think they will reveal in the D23?
The least I expect is about 1-3 worlds.
Thinking 2. 1 new 1 returning. They'll discuss the new one while the returning will just be featured in the trailer =D.
Please 0-0
I am indeed excited for this! I don't think a release date will be revealed just the new trailer and that will be it.
Lol guys, you need to think of stuff that will fit an entire 1.5 hours. I mean 1.5 hours can't just only have a world reveal and a trailer. What ELSE are you expecting? Who do you hope is there to talk about what?
What other announcements do you want because trust me unless they are going to show off a million things about KH3, it ain't the only thing we are going to be seeing.

I dreamed a dream of BBSv2.

Dream Drop Distance HD Remix announcement.
I think there is the potential for more then one world reveal though.
To play it safe I'm going to say Chi and 3. Most of the speeches will be repeats of everything we know but with awkward pauses. Perhaps people from the team might speak and Yoko will comment on the task at hand. Another Roy video, more info on Attraction Flow and Keyblade Transformations. Oh and a Chi Presentation.

they are not talking about chi when the game comes out next month
And how does that prevent them from talking about it more? They can still discuss what they planned or how they develop the game. Many developers still talk about their games weeks, months after they come out.
So far we only have a few confirmations of what's to come, I'm playing it safe so my expectations will be blown.
Just everything, tells us all Nomura!
Krhm, in a more serious note. Hmm. A HD version of Dream Drop Distance would be nice, and to add to that a HD collection bundle to the PS4. I am also keeping my fingers crossed for a KH version Theahtythm, that would be really nice also. Maybe some interviews form the voice actors of the series, it has been 13 years since the first game. And to top pf them all, Utada would announce that she will create a new theme song for KHIII.
BBS Volume 2 will be forever in our hearts. :(
they are not talking about chi when the game comes out next month
It's a social game with constant updates and relevant plot points to KH3. It will probably get mentioned at D23 in some shape or form.
Kingdom Hearts III.5 Remix
Kingdom Hearts 3 + HD Version of Dream Drop Distance.
Don't know what other KH game they could add, maybe Xchi?
Do you think it'll happen when it first releases or a few years after?

...But then...
Clips of KHIII show and new music plays. It's Utada's new song! The clips end...but wait! The song is still going! Someone's walking on stage! Oh my God, it's Utada!! *everyone cries at the awesomeness*

Perfect timing, Spockanort! I have a lot of things that could fill 1.5 hours!
1. Two different trailers- one showing off the story, such as the mystery around the "Key to Return Hearts" and the chat with Eraqus and Xehanort, and maybe showing a little something that Riku and Mickey will be doing throughout the game, trying to find past wielders.
2. Clothes for the Guardians of Light, AKA Riku, Mickey, Aqua, Ventus, and Kairi, as well as the other guardian of light that is yet to be confirmed.
3. One character reveal, as to not spoil too much. Maybe revealing another Seeker of Darkness, such as Terra, fighting one of the protagonists in a story trailer would be awesome, and having Nomura elaborate on how he was chosen as a seeker and why he is fighting them.
4. New gameplay mechanics revealed in a separate gameplay trailer, such as one of the summons present in the game, the drive forms that Nomura has talked about possibly returning, and a new attraction flow ride.
5. New Disney worlds, 2 or 3, would keep people entertained, with another Conli or other Disney exec trailer for each world, as well as having it shown off in a story or gameplay trailer, balanced out with a returning world yet to be seen, such as Radiant Garden or Destiny Islands being playable.
6. Other game mechanics being announced for Kingdom Hearts III, such as multiplayer or a new AI system and how it is applied to the game.
7. Revealing a new enemy/ returning enemy, such as showcasing the nobodies, dream eaters, unversed, or the new enemy attacking Sora in a world, with some brief subtext on them and a description of the enemy by Nomura, having him discuss their concept on stage with the crowd.
These are some of many idea I have, and I tried to keep them as general as possible to avoid making it sound like any of this was confirmed/ hyping myself up by expecting too much!
At least 80% of this will probably just repeat everything that we already know: Attraction Flow exists, Flomo is nerfed, Freerun is neat, Roy is actually Xehanort, that kind of stuff. Then they'll proceed to blow everything away by announcing a Frozen world, run a trailer of footage from both that world and Big Hero 6's, and stay as vague as ever about the release date. And maybe- just maybe- new designs get revealed for Kairi and Riku. Nomura pls.
Hey, low expectations means that if they're met or even surpassed, I'll be hyped, not disappointed.
for 1.5 hours i don't think so maybe if its was august d23 but this whole thing will have new stuff i could see utada there she good friends with nomura. i could see kairi,sora,riku and maybe roxas voice actors there showing up there new coustumes. i could see them reveal two worlds one new and one old world or two new worlds plus a trailer with a old world and i think we might get a release year there
this time they better show off sora 2D art form I mean I love,nomura drawing,that art is really good and I was really mad we didn't get any of that in this D23
In terms of surprises, I want Utada Hikaru announcing a new song for the game, more new outfits revealed, and more than one world revealed. And I want the trailer to be long, like as much if not longer than the E3 trailer.
i meant a dddhd or ps4 collection if we don't get it at the fan event then it not happing
Not really. I mean, if they announce the release date for KH3 and there's still no DDD or PS4 announcement, then yeah maybe. But if they don't announce it at D23, that doesn't really mean anything. There's still Jump Festa. And next year's E3. And so on.

i can dream
I'd kind of like to see KHX released as a picture book of sorts. The game itself kind of has a fairy tale feel to it (and the Keyblade War is a kind of in-universe fairy tale itself), so I'd like to get the story in that kind of way. Just bundle it with KHIII and I'll be happy.

Omg I would love that. When you start the game, it begins with a book opening up and showing it coming to life to tell the story. Turn that into an actual little picture/story book and I would buy the hell out of that.
Plan for Kingdom Hearts to skip TGS this year.
Why? They skipped it the last two years. I thought they were confirmed for this year.
OH MY LORD THAT SORA PLAY ARTS KAI FINAL FORM FIGURE!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SQUARE ENIX DO NOT START MAKING LIMITED EDITION KINGDOM HEARTS MERCHANDISE (I'm talking really low LE merch). LE999 is quite low honestly and I expect that figure to hit at least $200. That being said, if anyone knows anyone going to D23 who gets that raffle and would like me to pay for their ticket, that figure, and perhaps then some, I'm completely serious.
Don't take this as a nasty post, if you want to keep it, by all means it is your figure. I'm just saying if someone happens to be going and doesn't want/can't afford the figure, I can help get you in for free while helping get the figure for myself, why can't we all be happy IF circumstances permit?
I dreamed a dream of BBSv2.
When hope was high and life worth living,
I dreamed that that game would never die,
I dreamed that Nomura would be forgiving
When Aqua was young and unafraid,
And worlds were made and used and wasted,
There was no munny to be paid,
No world unexplored,
No realm wasted.

Honestly, I'd prefer if something that glorious NOT be a preorder bonus. Not because it would be bad, but just because Kingdom Hearts preorder bonuses tend to be cheaply made and not invested in highly (which makes sense, they're free after all).
Why? They skipped it the last two years. I thought they were confirmed for this year.
It's not confirmed for this year. And KH didn't skip the last two TGS's. In 2013 they had x[Chi] while 2014 had 2.5 ReMIX. Jump Festa last year was skipped because they didn't have anything to show.
Come to think of it, we still don't have an American release date for KH X Unchained, do we? Maybe that'll be announced here?

Isn't TGS more important than Jump Festa? Kingdom Heats was always present in some shape or form the last years, I would be really surprised if they skipped it, even with the D23 coming up.
Jump Festa was Nomura's favourite event and I believe last year was the first time Kingdom Hearts didn't have a presences at JF.

Hopefully they have a big show planned for Jump Festa, from the past I recall they would always tend to have the biggest announcements saved for that and TGS. Pretty sure 2FM was announced at Jump Festa too.
Still, with this taking place and having a run time of 1.5 hours, that's a lot of time to announce things.
In the meantime I'll still hold out hope of a complete package port of the ReMIXes on PS4 to right all the wrongs they left in the PS3 versions, along with the usual DDD remaster and any other potential surprise *coughbbsvol2cough*
Come to think of it, we still don't have an American release date for KH X Unchained, do we? Maybe that'll be announced here?
Nah, either they'll announce it out of the blue online or at a western event. No point revealing it to an audience it won't affect since they'd already have had Unchained for several months by then.

But in most cases, will we see any of the groups' new attires or design, when did most hit like Kairi or the Dream Eaters?
What ever we get, just what we get (Frozen either singing optional or battle world), just no death threats made after words. Internet I know never take it literally but people hold grudges deep.

Who made death threats? I never heard of any death threats connected to KH...

Can you please not mention negative/accusatory things that have nothing to do with the discussion?

Dream Eaters were revealed immediately. Iirc Kairi's reveal took a few months due to her diminished presence in KH2. Riku of course was kept in the dark until close to release for story reasons.
is anybody the khinsider staff going to the kingdom hearts fan event if not i's sure your guys will have coverge of it once it release
I just had this random idea for D23. What if the way they reveal Riku and Kairi's new outfits is by having their respective voice actors wearing a costume of them?
...I know it won't happen at all, but it was oddly something that popped into my head that I thought could be a new and exciting marketing idea, maybe.
Plus, going off of Sora's new outfit, it actually seems a bit more normal and something someone could easily wear for the most part.
Also, I'm personally still pulling for a KHIII PS4 to be revealed at the event:) [strike]Oh, that and BbSV2, but then I'm always hoping for that one.[/strike]

I WOULD DIE HAPPY
But if they do invite voice actors again, there's a high chance that Kairi's may not be there again. Compared to the boys who have thriving stage acting/voice acting/singing careers, I wonder if she's not very involved in the entertainment industry anymore? Every now and then I'll go look up her name and see what comes up and there's pretty much nothing besides KH.

We'd love it if we lucked out and managed to get a pass, but we can't just go and buy a ticket. To attend the event, you have to buy a lottery ticket for a chance to win an actual pass for the event, the winners of which they'll announce at a later date. There are no guarantees here.

There's no way Hayden will cosplay as Kairi.
There's no way Hayden will cosplay as Kairi.
Not hayden she was talking about the japanese voice actors like risa
There's no way Hayden will cosplay as Kairi.
I would assume she means their Japanese voice actors, who are certainly accustomed to wearing costumes.
Dream Eaters were revealed immediately. Iirc Kairi's reveal took a few months due to her diminished presence in KH2. Riku of course was kept in the dark until close to release for story reasons.
Kairi was weird. Her schoolgirl look was revealed straight out the gate, but they didn't' show her face until Jump Festa 2004/2005 (It's difficult because those used to happen in January.) Kairi's second look wasn't show until closer to release, and her face in that outfit wasn't shown until release month. Riku's new look was never shown to the public, no one saw it until the game came out.
So it's entirely possible that they won't show any of that until close to release, depending on the story. Though if their presences are huge, it won't be too long.
i can see risa being there and show up with kairi new outfit and along with mamoru showing riku new outfits, miyu and koki could also be there i could see yoko being there playing the dearly beloved becuase that song is probally done by now and utada is also possible being as finale after the trailer
Mamoru, Miyu and Kouki attended the last event so I don't think anyone really questions their attendance.
Yoko was there in 2013 as well but as a guest in the audience, not that it has much relevance to this discussion lol

I think we'll get to see their costumes. Riku isn't a mystery anymore and Kairi was brought to Yen Sid. Their roles aren't as purposefully mysterious as they were for KH2.
i could see risa should up there as for yoko i could see them have her perform a new kh3 music like dearly beloved there and maybe nomura ask utada there since she good friends with him
Sorry, but repeating yourself isn't going to change anyone's responses to your posts.
Nomura and Utada aren't friends so I have no idea where you got that idea from. They're acquaintances maybe? They've met a few times for KH1 and 2 to discuss the work and contract and whatnot, but that's pretty much it.

really i though they were since nomura made a cover for her album
He also gave her a music box for her birthday that plays "when you wish upon a star". Both had ties to Kingdom Hearts, it was mostly out of respect.

Nomura didn't make the cover btw. He drew art as a gift but it was more beggy and hopeful than anything.

okay thanks i did not know that either oh well it wishful think i hope she apprears there
I can see why you would hope for Utada; it would be amazing if KH3 got a new opening song to go with it. But I'm doubtful we'll be seeing her return.

never say never but if utada doesn't come back who do you want to have to do the song for kh3?
ethynort made a real good suggestion months back:[video=youtube;KWZGAExj-es]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZGAExj-es[/video]

yeah no how about jyongri she made lullaby for you she not know as utada but she has good voice

They could just do a revamped Hikari. DDD's opening is my favorite because of how well the song goes with the scenes.
yeah no
this is the most passive aggressive thing i've read all day
He also gave her a music box for her birthday that plays "when you wish upon a star". Both had ties to Kingdom Hearts, it was mostly out of respect. |
Whoa, this is really cool. When did this happen?
never say never but if utada doesn't come back who do you want to have to do the song for kh3?
Honestly, no one. It's either something new from Utada, or a remix of the two songs we already have. Anyone else would just feel weird to me. When KH starts its new arc they can look for a new artist.
I don't want a new artist at all. No Utada? Just have Shimomura make a grand theme. Or have Ishimoto do something with his band, the Death March.
Or we can have Utada, but then add Peabo Bryson (he did say he would love to do a song with Utada one day) and make KH3 have a 90s style Disney ballad theme.

Funky 90s synths included.
So really the only conclusion to this should be getting Utada back.

Jyongri hasn't made a new song in ages. Like most Korean stars that vanish into the void, she likely won't be making a comeback anytime soon.
A new composition by Yoko Shimomura will always be my first choice if Utada doesn't return.
Gonna throw out Against the Current and One Ok Rock again for new artists.

Actually, Jyongri was among the most requested possible replacements for Utada after TWEWY was released. If I remember correctly, she was also referred to as "the new Utada" when her career first hit it off, but then she fell into that "generic slow piano ballad" rut and faded into obscurity. She's not nearly as active these days and doesn't seem to have released any new music in years, but still performs every now and then and instead writes songs for other artists.
I don't want a new artist at all. No Utada? Just have Shimomura make a grand theme. Or have Ishimoto do something with his band, the Death March.
The Death March is also great but if the vocalist is SAWA again, I'm retracting my support D:
I love Utada and all, but I`m not gonna complain if she can`t return. I`ll gladly take a new song and artist over a rehash of the same damn songs. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas could make a great theme. They did the first ending to HxH which is just kick ass

I really hope it doesn't come to any of the above and that Utada comes back. They haven't said no outright for a while...

well square and disney really need decide fast on what they need do get her back whether it pay her the movie or add someone next to her like peabo bryson because preyyu soon they might annouce a release date and if utada does come she needs to know ahead to work on the song
I was joking about that haha
There is still plenty of time and we have no clue what they have done so it is best to not think about it or say SE/Disney should get on it.
I really hope it doesn't come to any of the above and that Utada comes back. They haven't said no outright for a while...
Wasn't there quarrel or somethin' between Disney and Utada?

Kind of. Utada's said in interviews that she doesn't feel comfortable coming back. Her father interjected that Disney doesn't pay enough, and Utada's said she doesn't like taking a Japanese song and reworking it in English.
I'm sure Utada will come back. One little quarrel isn't going to stop her. Especially with how's she still in tune with the KH fans on Twitter.
Yeah if Nomura want her to come back he will get to come back even if it paying him the money
I really hope she returns, if only for this one game. It just won't feel right having the conclusion of the Xehanort saga be lacking a Utada song during the opening CG cutscene. The KH1 and 2 openings are classic, and I'm really hoping for CG opening with a brand new song for KH3 to keep the feel of the numbered titles. I almost wish they had saved the DDD opening for KH3, because that one celebrated the series very nicely, although I guess they did that to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the series.

Yeah, KH3D was also the game that made all of the callbacks to past games as a way to remind people of what happened before moving into KH3. It was fitting.
KH3 should be like KH1 or BBS's opening, foreshadowing the conflict to take place in the game rather than looking back on past events.
As for Utada, I've said it before and I'll say it again...Utada's issues with Disney were so many years ago. She was at the prime of her career, working non-stop. Between that time and now, she's gone on her hiatus, travelled, done work away from music, recorded a new song for a franchise she loves, taken more time off, gotten married, had a child, and is making a new album.
She's definitely not in the same place as she was then, and I think time and distance and a new life makes problems like money and feeling stretched thin creatively change. Maybe she will still feel that way, or maybe she won't. But she knows she has a ton of fans because of Kingdom Hearts and we know for a fact Nomura wants her back for KH3 if his artwork and message for her anniversary are anything to go by.
It is truly a matter of us hoping and waiting.
could we get a kh3d hd annoucment at the kingdom fan event or no and they just want to focus on kh3 right now?
I'd kind of like to see KHX released as a picture book of sorts. The game itself kind of has a fairy tale feel to it (and the Keyblade War is a kind of in-universe fairy tale itself), so I'd like to get the story in that kind of way. Just bundle it with KHIII and I'll be happy.
Kind of. Utada's said in interviews that she doesn't feel comfortable coming back. Her father interjected that Disney doesn't pay enough, and Utada's said she doesn't like taking a Japanese song and reworking it in English.
I feel Utada should have the right to leave her songs Japanese just add subtitles and your good to go in the end KH is animeshi game that crossover with American art
Yeah, why couldn't they just leave the song Japanese? I've seen plenty of anime dubs that kept the Japanese intro.
You two; I ask you this.
Does Disney leave the songs in Japanese for their Studio Ghibli dubs? I don't THINK they do but I could be wrong, if they don't that's a good indication of why she had to go English. I hope they aren't so hardnose about it this time tho, it'd make Utada feel better I bet.
There NEEDS to be an English theme in KH3. There's no way that it won't have one. DISNEY just needs to pay Utada enough to do a Japanese and English one. Just use some of the profits from Avengers or something, geez...

Oh boy, I just love it when stuff like this gets oversimplified... I don't know anything about Disney's internal affairs or how they handle the money they make, but I'm certain that it's not that simple.
Utada herself said that she didn't like making English versions because the song's original meaning ends up lost. Between Hikari and Simple and Clean, I can see what she's talking about. The former's themes followed the game's, staying relevant to the context, while the latter was basically an out-of-context pop song. I mean, listen to its lyrics and tell me how any of that fits thematically with Kingdom Hearts. (And no, "it's about romance" does NOT count.)

as off-topic as this is i will always rock simple and clean, probably out of pure nostalgia and i still have yet to listen to the lyrics but regardless.
