KIngdom Hearts three is finally coming

[The Majestic]

If you guys dont already know kingdom hearts three is coming very soon. I heard that its going to be a keyblade war kind of game. and I also heard its going to be the first kingdom hearts game with a multiplayer option. So who is going to get the game when it comes out ( which I think its going to be this year or next year. ).

[kikimm]

This goes here!

[The Majestic]

oh okay thanks I get what your saying. :D

[Markus. D]

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix is the one you are looking to refer to ;)

[No.78]

No, Final Mix is the remixed version of Kingdom Hearts 2. It's still the same game but with some extra stuff.

[Mr Amazing]

KHIII isn't comin soon... Nomura distinctly said they were concentrating on FFXIII first.

[Markus. D]

No, Final Mix is the remixed version of Kingdom Hearts 2. It's still the same game but with some extra stuff.

exactly.

but Final Mix is coming soon.

not KH3.

[Tavrobel]

KHIII hasn't been announced. If by soon, you mean, within twenty years, then yes, it will be coming out soon. This seems an inevitability, but if by soon, you mean within five years, the no, it won't be coming out.

Do your research, and don't come around making claims without proof.

[Hazzard]

Easy now, Tavrobel--twenty years seems a bit too prolonged. Maybe around 8-12 years and then were talking, and I'm sure that there are like a dozen threads similar to this subject.

[Ashley Schovitz]

No, Final Mix is the remixed version of Kingdom Hearts 2. It's still the same game but with some extra stuff.

It's not only that it also has a 3-d version of Chain of Memories added in.

[Fonzie]

KHIII hasn't been announced. If by soon, you mean, within twenty years, then yes, it will be coming out soon. This seems an inevitability, but if by soon, you mean within five years, the no, it won't be coming out.

Quoted for truth.

[Laddy]

While Final Mix has a cornocopia of new content, other than the new Kingdom Hearts game for the Wii, don't expect too much more Kingdom Hearts games for a while. However, the Manga series could tide you over.

[MOMO]

Yeah, cause everybody loves spending $5-$10 on books they read in five minutes. I'm sure there's a better way to spend your disposable income. Oh, wait. It's called video games!

[Alsray]

it may not be coming soon. but a friend of mine knows someone who is Betatesting KH3 right now, the father work in prgraming i believe.

it is a Multiplayer game, an MMO to be xact.

you creat your own character and keyblade, so i've heard.

[Tavrobel]

I like how people don't know what a Beta version is. You need a development team before you can have a Beta. Before you get your development team, you need a plan, and before the plan, you need an announcement. Before you get an announcement, however, you get n00bs.

And thus, the circle of life is complete. How glad I am to be amongst people that don't lie, stretch the truth, or have no idea what they are talking about because they believe everything they hear. I do believe that the internet has met it's match: n00bs.

[The Majestic]

okay I am admiting that I was wrong. here is something I read while researching.


Kingdom Hearts 3 is yet to be a confirmed title by Square-Enix or Disney. It is therefore clear that there is no release date yet for the game. We have simply added this page in anticipation of there being an eventual title, and this will be the page to confirm a Kingdom Hearts 3 release date.

and I came up on another thing. Its a really cool trailer of the extended version of kindom hearts three. When you see the trailer of kh3 after beating kh2 it doesent show you all of it. Go see it the site is watch its kind of cool its basically what happens after you see the three guys in armor with the really big keyblades take out sora's ,riku's and mickey's keyblade off the ground. See it there is a small fight scene in it. Enjoy :D

You say that as if we don't already know all about it.

[The Majestic]

Well I was just explaining it just in case you dident know. oh well I guess its a good thing that you know. :D

[Ashi]

Well I was just explaining it just in case you dident know. oh well I guess its a good thing that you know. :D

Thanks Ultimate Cloud. I didn't know about this trailer. I kind of wish I'd waited till I played it but I still enjoyed the clip. :)

[Alsray]

i've said it once, and i'll say it again

The Trailer is not for Kingdom Hearts 3!!!!

this is confirmed by Nomura.

the trailer is for another game SERIES in the continuity, a prequel series to be exact.

[The Majestic]

Well from what I saw there was roxas in it and plus I think I read the fact that it was the hidden trailer for kh3

[Ouch!]

Well from what I saw there was roxas in it and plus I think I read the fact that it was the hidden trailer for kh3
As the video can easily be placed as occuring some time before the events of Kingdom Hearts (perhaps before Sora was even born), it is very easy to deduce that the character shown in the trailer is not Roxas. Chalk it up to all of Nomura's characters starting to look like each other as series go on.

Also, as said, there is no such thing as Kingdom Hearts III. Nomura made a point of saying calling the next game a new series. I wouldn't go as far as saying it'll get a name other than Kingdom Hearts, but it's quite possible.

[The Majestic]

well actually there is a kingdom hearts three its just that they havent announced a release date. I have done some research

[Tavrobel]

Your "research" is without a shred of significant proof. So far, you have come here, and spouted your lies. Also, not only has it gone without proof, it has already been de-bunked by, not people in this thread, but by the game company itself. You can't possibly have a release date without without a game in proiduction, so I fail whatto see what it is you are trying to prove, as it would seem that what you think you are to prove, isn't even able to be shown in a constructive way.

I've done some research too. Comrade Ogilvy exists. You do not exist. That's the exact equivalent of how much proof you've offered to us. The only difference is, is that Big Brother is a reliable source, and you are not.

[The Majestic]

Wow big words. Ill take that to thought maybe my research might be a failure and I actually wanted to change the title to " What do you think of Kingdom hearts three " because of my false research. SO think of this thread now as a what do you think of kingdom hearts three. Thanks for your opinions :D

[Hazzard]

You guys need to stop having a go at him for invalid information, it shouldn't be condoned as 'lies', that is far too harsh. Just next time, U.C, get your facts right because certain people don't like to hear crap that is falsely stated.

[The Majestic]

TITLE CHANGE: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF KINGDOM HEARTS THREE



No problem but im good with taking peoples opinions its all okay Its my fault to begin with so like I said before think of this as A what do you think of kingdom hearts three thread.

[Ouch!]

I think you've missed the point.

Either way, what do I think about the new series spawned from Kingdom Hearts? I think that it's a damn good idea to go in a different direction instead of limiting oneself by forcing in another chapter in a story that was already closed in a satisfying manner.

I expect that by insisting that the next game will begin a new series, it frees up many limitations imposed by the first two games. I imagine it means that Disney may not have such a significant role. Perhaps we'll see some characters from SE games other than Final Fantasy. Hopefully we'll see more original worlds ('cause let's face it, the best worlds in both games are the ones not based on Disney movies).

I think a keyblade war is a pretty good idea, and not entirely out of the blue. We've been hearing the legend of the keyblade masters since the first game, so delving into that legend is not a significant stretch of the mind. Seeing Xehanort as the main character might be pretty cool, too, although we know what happens to him in the end.

That's what I think of the new series.

[The Majestic]

wouldent it be cool if they can travel not only to disney worlds but anime worlds such as naruto and many more. That would be awesome if they found new worlds with new keyblades. That would be cool dont you think :D

[Ouch!]

The legal process of actually procuring the rights to use characters from different shows would be an absolute nightmare for Square-Enix, so one should not expect involvement of any characters not already owned by Disney or Square-Enix.

That being said, I think it would be stiffling to add more crossovers into the Kingdom Hearts universe. There's more than enough material between Disney and Square-Enix to make use of, so I don't see a reason to throw more stuff in.

If Disney is going to play a big role again, I'm hoping that there won't be any reappearing worlds from Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. The worlds that returned in Kingdom Hearts 2 already stretched the plots thin (or completely did away with them in some cases). I think SE would be beating a dead horse (excuse the cliche) if Agrabah or Halloween Town were to make a third appearance. The only world that is worth bringing back is Disney Castle, and that's 'cause there isn't a pre-established plot going along with it.

[Tavrobel]

I agree with you, but just to be completely fair:

Mulan has a Mulan 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulan_II)
Beauty and the Beast has its spinoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast:_The_Enchanted_Christmas).
Hercules has a boatload of mythology to go along with him (assuming they can depict endless rape by Zeus as child-appropriate)
Tarzan has a sequel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan_%26_Jane)
Aladdin and the King of Thieves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_and_the_King_of_Thieves)
Halloween Town is used up, but there are a series of other movies of the same animation type
Atlantica with two (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_II:_Return_to_the_Sea) sequels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_III)
100 Acre Wood (LOL like you could use up the stories in this series)
Port Royal and its two sequels (as though I have to link this)
Pride Rock has multiple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timon_%26_Pumbaa_%28TV_series%29) spinoffs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_King_II:_Simba%27s_Pride) and sequels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_King_1%C2%BD)
Tron would most likely be unaccessed in KHIII or its spinoffs
Alice in Wonderland was dropped

Also, Disney != Japanese anime such as Naruto or Samurai X. To even obtain those rights of use would be a massive investment, and also smacks of personal ignorance that you might even fathom it. Also, Kenshin would totally own Sora any day, and he would never be a Heartless or Nobody, since he's got his own thing going on (Battosai and Saito).

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I know! In the next game they should have it so that you get to make your own reality TV show called "Atlantica Idol"! :O

*is being sarcastic*

As for continuity, the idea of a Keyblade War would be rather interesting. The secret ending to KHII:FM+ that if it was referring to a future game that Mickey would be most likely present, though it almost seemed to me that it was a younger version of him. Something along of the lines of pre-KH timeline would be interesting. Maybe eventually something about when the first Keyblade appeared would be cool too.

Besides that maybe some more FF cameos would be nice, better yet they could always have one the worlds be one of the actual FF worlds, though that might be strenuous on said world's original plot. As for Disney worlds, Sword in the Stone would be neat, or Robin Hood.

[Ouch!]

I agree with you, but just to be completely fair:

Mulan has a Mulan 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulan_II)
Beauty and the Beast has its spinoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast:_The_Enchanted_Christmas).
Hercules has a boatload of mythology to go along with him (assuming they can depict endless rape by Zeus as child-appropriate)

Aladdin and the King of Thieves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_and_the_King_of_Thieves)
Halloween Town is used up, but there are a series of other movies of the same animation type
Atlantica with two (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_II:_Return_to_the_Sea) sequels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_III)
100 Acre Wood (LOL like you could use up the stories in this series)
Port Royal and its two sequels (as though I have to link this)

Tron would most likely be unaccessed in KHIII or its spinoffs
Alice in Wonderland was dropped.
And I would argue that almost everyone one of those examples falls under my stretching the plot thin complaint. I'll concede on the 100 Acre Woods; they'll never run out of that.

I never said Disney was above stretching plots to make crappy sequels. As we've seen from the Final Fantasy VII franchise, neither is Square-Enix. Definitely not looking good.

[Tavrobel]

I would assert that King of Thieves had a plot, so does Pirates, and even Simba's Pride, which was quite the income, even for a direct-to-video. But yes, I do recognize that Disney isn't exactly the biggest fan of sequels for the entertainment value. Then again, SE also leaves lots of questions unanswered, while Disney is all about the little children.

[Aerisfanatic]

i would definteley get it, but i dont know about it coming out this year or next year... especialy to north america, imean look at how long it took them to make a kh2 after kh1 came out, so it would proboly be longer than you think

[The Majestic]

well We will just have to wait and see how great it will be.

[Fonzie]

I'll revive this thread when it comes out in 2010 :p

[The Majestic]

yes please do :) LOL

[Alex151]

I wouldn't mind seing then them throw in their own worlds for the mojority of the game, it would be an all around new experience for everyone.

[The Mog Ninja]

I hope it is an MMO, that's some of the rumours I've been hearing. That'd be good.

[eternalshiva]

More on Crisis Core, Less on Kingdom Hearts

Update by: Azar. Thursday March 8, 2007 at 01:01 PM.

To quickly get the Kingdom Hearts news (or lack thereof) out of the way first: Tetsuya Nomura has stated that Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ will be his last Playstation 2 title. The new events added to the game will also not feature English voice acting, and for those of you who were hoping for a Kingdom Hearts III announcement at this year's Square Enix party in May, prepare to be disappointed: you'll have to wait a bit longer to hear anything about KHIII.

Straight off the front site ;/

[Tavrobel]

Well, at least our duped little friend [Ultimate Cloud] here isn't poaching any baby seals.

[Alsray]

lol to [Ultimate Cloud]

Cheese and Wine in his Absence!

[Mercen-X]

As the video can easily be placed as occuring some time before the events of Kingdom Hearts (perhaps before Sora was even born)Where do get these facts?

it is very easy to deduce that the character shown in the trailer is not Roxas.Well, I guess if they're pulling the same shat as in X with Lenne and Shuyin looking twinly to Yuna and Tidus, then yeah. But this guy looks way in the hell too much like Roxas and that damned Mickey looks a little battle-hardened to me. Not like he did when we first saw him Kingdom Hearts helping Sora and Riku close that giant set of doors. Also, that other big knight kinda "reminded" me of Axel.

I just can't wait to fight out who the hell that spawned masked character is (the lightning speedster)


Mulan has a Mulan 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulan_II) I don't think 2 is worth delving into.
Beauty and the Beast has its spinoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast:_The_Enchanted_Christmas). I would rather the Beast eat me alive.
Hercules. He also had a TV series (animated and live action) I'll always accept Hercules, but I think he should be a summoned character
Tarzan has a sequel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan_%26_Jane). It also has a prequel (unless that's what you mean) and an entire TV series, I don't care to revisit that world though
Aladdin and the King of Thieves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_and_the_King_of_Thieves) This one actually interests me.
Halloween Town is used up, but there are a series of other movies of the same animation type Ooooh, Corpse Bride
Atlantica with two (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_II:_Return_to_the_Sea) sequels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_III) If they were gonna do something about the sequels, they should've done at least one in II. Going back to the original was just lame.
100 Acre Wood God slay me.
Port Royal God yes! I await this with a swelling in my nether regions... by the way, they could combine both sequels into one KH side story, since the first one kinda left you hanging.
Pride Rock I'd rather be torn apart by ravished lions
Tron I'd love to revisit Tron
Alice in Wonderland was dropped. There is a god.

Damned Pixar is the reason we can't see Toy Story or the Incredibles. And I don't care what you say, turning into a vehicle in the Cars world would be awesome. Or how about turning into a monster at Monsters Inc.

I think Bridge to Terabithia offers some nice concepts, though the movie itself I hold in distain.

Peter Pan's world has yet to be fully explored (we haven't even met any of the lost boys) and Cinderella III throws in a lot more adventure that would make it a more relevant addition to the game.

Personally, I'd prefer to see a world for Sleeping Beauty. I'm damned tired of waiting.

I would of said that it's the ugly man's duplicate, or clone. Who knows, the guy's some powerful son of a bitch.

[The Majestic]

Ya he is. And when the bald guy appears and the evil armored one comes out. Im guessing its the bald ones duplicate.

[Ouch!]

As the video can easily be placed as occuring some time before the events of Kingdom Hearts (perhaps before Sora was even born)Where do get these facts?
From the translation of a scene featuring a conversation between Vexen, Xigbar, and Zexion during which they discuss many things about Xehanort. For your viewing pleasure:


People with the blade of keys started to appear and fought great battles. When they were gone, a man who had lost his memories appeared. Xemnas... no... Xehanort was taken in by Ansem around that time, was he not?
Making connections isn't much of a stretch of the imagination at that point. Nomura made it fairly obvious that what we witnessed in Sunset Horizons and its continuation was out of the keyblade wars, which Xigbar is undoubtedly referring to here. That would mean the scene had to take place some time before Xehanort lost his memories, which would place it significantly before the events of Kingdom Hearts, as I said. Since we don't know how long Xehanort studied under Ansem before betraying him, the bit about the scene taking place before Sora was born was only speculation, as I made clear.

As I said, that would rule out the blonde haired knight being Roxas. As you suggested, though, that doesn't mean there isn't some sort of relation to Sora (I'm not buying into the parents thing).


Damned Pixar is the reason we can't see Toy Story or the Incredibles. And I don't care what you say, turning into a vehicle in the cars world would be awesome.
Didn't Disney buy out Pixar somewhat recently? I assume that means Pixar movies are now fair game.

[Tavrobel]

I just can't wait to fight out who the hell that spawned masked character is (the lightning speedster)


It's Jim Raynor on crack. He's looking for Sarah Kerrigan.

[Alex151]

and that damned Mickey looks a little battle-hardened to me


He didn't look any different to me, just pissed off

[Hazzard]

What I think is: That you see in the end of KH2 that Mickey sends the group a letter of Xehanort's memory returning, so that might imply that they all visit him, and he recalls the whole story about Kingdom Hearts and the past. So you play from his perspective of view, and his history, also it might mean that you will control him as an protagonist. You may actually be a bad guy for once...But I don't know, it's just a theory.

This may be what will happen in the next KH, and I think it's a good chance this could be the plan.

[Mercen-X]

and that damned Mickey looks a little battle-hardened to me


He didn't look any different to me, just pissed off

Well, yeah I guess BH is the wrong choice of words. In KH, when you first see Mickey . . . he's just good-ol' regular Mickey in those red shorts and no shirt and wields his trusty regular-ol' Keyblade. In the video, he's much more . . . battle-ready, what with actually being dressed and also wielding that Star Seeker.

[Albel]

It would be awsome if we where a bad guy and I nearly cryed when I saw mickey. I thought 'This looks soo coo...oh wait, king crappy mickey is still in it'.

[Ouch!]

If the main character is Xehanort, I think he'll probably be a good guy. He did, after all, lose his memories. That would mean he doesn't have to be anything like what he eventually becomes. I don't know about you, but I assume losing all of ones memories suddenly would cause a significant personality shift.

[Hazzard]

Aaaah, so everyone's starting to drift to my theory, it works, huh?

[Proxy]

thus far, from what interviews have said that the only thing in common this "new series" has with kingdom hearts, are the keyblades. and let's leave it at that.
"new worlds like Naruto" give me a fucking break. I wish I could stab you in the neck.

[Mercen-X]

Careful. That's bannable.

Anyway, I'd think the main character'd be a Keybearer. Xehanort/Xemnas/Ansem, whoever he was never gave any hint at ever being one.

[The Majestic]

Okay I think I should delete this thread. Some things are getting a bit over hand. unless you have more opinions. Just keep it clean please.

[Ouch!]

Anyway, I'd think the main character'd be a Keybearer. Xehanort/Xemnas/Ansem, whoever he was never gave any hint at ever being one.
Xehanort could have been anything. The only reason he never gave a hint of being one is because he doesn't remember anything from his life before his arrival in Radiant Garden.

Although perhaps insignificant, I'm wondering how much exactly Organization did know about other keyblade masters. I vaguely remember Xigbar telling Sora that the previous keyblade masters were much more impressive, but I was under the impression that there hadn't been a keyblade master in a while. It's quite possible that Xigbar was referring to the people who participated in the keyblade war, but he didn't seem to be an active part of that.

Anyway, it's all wild speculation. It's much easier to say what won't happen than what will as there's very little proof to support anything and loads to crush it. Fun stuff.

[The Majestic]

hey guys look what I found on google.
