KH3D Interview with Nomura!

Chevalier · Mar 25, 2011

So, here's another piece of interesting news. Apparently we're late to the punch, but eh. Better late than never, right?

So, Famitsu interviewed Tetsuya Nomura regarding KH3D, and while he was pretty vague, there's some interesting stuff to note.

Nomura explains Dream Drop Distance as the "distance you fall in your dreams" / how deeply you fall.

[*]While the English isn't grammatically correct, the team wanted to focus on how the name sounds/reads.

[*]The three words separately have a number of meanings, for example "Drop" is a fairly important aspect in the gameplay.

[*]Nomura believes that the main/numbered entries should have "proper and orthodox" evolutions, but the team do want to experiment and "try bold things" for the non-numbered games like Kingdom Hearts for 3DS.

[*]Tells the story of Sora and Riku in their Mask of Mastery test that sees the two protagonist turn into Keyblade Masters.

[*]Only some portions of the game will cover the test.

[*]Players will switch between Sora and Riku, but this won't be optional. It could even be when simply walking through town, or even in the middle of a battle.

[*]Character switching usually takes place in key moments in most games, however Nomura notes that the switches here won't have anything to do with story progression.

[*]Different stories for each, with different bosses, actions and even control schemes - linked in with a currently undisclosed system.

[*]There are a number of secrets within the "Drop Gauge" (shown in a recent trailer).

[*]Number of new Disney worlds will be available in the game, including the "bell tower" inspired world shown in the trailer.

While the team is hard at work, KH3D isn't at a stage where a release date can be announced, lamentably. I'm sure we were all hoping for KH3D's date to be announced soon, specially since the 3DS is so close now.

So, what can we make of all this? It's pretty clear that KH3D will be something very unique. With fast-paced combat, character switching, and new worlds.

Suddenly, because of that, I was struck with the thought that this game could be one of those "review" games. As in, KH1 (though not exactly) all over again... As if we haven't had enough of that already... Just sharing.

It isn't. Nomura is looking into giving them new outfits for the second half of the game to avoid this misconception. This seems closer to CoM, where it isn't quite a numbered game but is still necessary to the overall story and bridges us into KH3. (Well, more directly than the other games have)

Nomura actually hasn't drawn any specific drawings for Kingdom Hearts 3D yet. He's actually looking into an idea of changing Sora and Riku's clothing. One of the reasons for this is that if the characters appear in the same clothing, some people might think that KH3D is a remake.

I think i have reached this point that i just don't care anymore. Sure, it seems interesting as any other KH but i am tired of this multi platform thing. I am not buying a 3DS just to get KH3D. No, maybe some time in the future, but i guess for the first time i will skip a KH title at least for some time.

Ah, and with the launch of the new 3DS, i'd like to see when this game will turn out.

Omg!

that would be awesome if they made ANY of those worlds in the game. i've thought of what Sora would look like in Pochahontas (is that how you spell it?) anyway, i thought of his Keyblade more like an axe, and for him to have those skirt-ish looking pants the indians wore in Pochahontas, and also those awesome boots they wore. and for him to be topless. hehe :D what ALL Sora fan girls would want to see! like in Atlantica. :D
