He first talked more about the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts III. While he did not mention the release date and the platform of choice, he did however hint its current development status.
"About the next title, Kingdom Hearts 3 depends on Final Fantasy XIII Versus, but development of the next title is already underway. There are two titles other than Kingdom Hearts 3 in conception, and I think I’ll release one within this year." He continues saying, "The series won’t end in Kingdom Hearts 3, more like the conclusion of the Xehanort saga."
He then talked a bit about the original Kingdom Hearts protagonist, Sora. He had this to say about the character’s future.
"It’s not the case that when Sora’s story is over another hero’s story will begin; Sora will be the hero until the end. As from next year, I want to put out a title with multiple main characters."
Finally, he talked about the English language version of the PSP title, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, emphasising on the exclusive new features it will have.
"We added the Critical degree of difficulty, more cutscenes, more songs to the Rhythmic Ice Cream mini game, more Keyblades, more types of enemies and altered battle balance. I still can’t say we’ll release a Final Mix, but we can’t give it the generous treatment like with Re:Chain of Memories."
So there you have it folks, Tetsuya Nomura clearly has the Kingdom Hearts series on his mind, and one can count on seeing Kingdom Hearts III at some point.
