KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

This past Friday, the long awaited finale to 'Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road' was finally released, and to celebrate the release, Square-Enix released a Q&A (see Tweet above) with director, Tetsuya Nomura, where he answers 13 questions (yes, seriously) on the game's finale and its connection to other games in the series. The translated Q&A can be read below (credit to KH13's @RyujiBlades for the translations). Be aware, the Q&A contains massive spoilers for 'Dark Road', so read only after completing the game:

After around 4 months of waiting, Square-Enix has finally released a video recapping events from the Kingdom Hearts Anniversary Event that took place back in April, which you can view below:

In addition, a specific release date for the finale of 'Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road' has finally been announced, with the long awaited conclusion to that story releasing August 26th!

Sad news to report today, as it has been announced that Pat Carroll, the voice of Ursula, has sadly passed away at her home at the age of 95. Pat has indicated that Ursula was one of her favorite roles, reprising the role multiple times after the release of 'The Little Mermaid', including in three Kingdom Hearts games (KH1, KH2, and KH3D).

RIP Pat Carroll

GameInformer recently got a chance to chat with series director Tetsuya Nomura to discuss Kingdom Hearts IV (and the series in general as well). Topics discussed include the reasoning behind the lack of Final Fantasy cameos recently, expanding on Quadratum's role in KH4, and how Nomura was hesitant at first in allowing Sora to join the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. Check out the interview below:

Hey everyone, today we're releasing the first batch of Kingdom Hearts III cutscenes in 4K / 60FPS, at Max PC Settings.

You'll definitely need a beefy hard drive to fit these, as this set alone is nearly 40 GB, and KH3 as a whole will probably be around 130 GB once it's done! As you can imagine though, the quality is stunning; it looks nearly identical to playing the game in real-time on a high-end PC. I understand this isn't feasible for everyone, so we'll be uploading them to a YouTube Playlist as well. The quality won't be quite as good, but for those who want the next-best thing, it's there.

Going with our recent trend, these scenes have 2 audio tracks, one with background music and one without. And thanks to the USMToolkit made by Rikux3, even most pre-rendered scenes can have their music turned off. Those pre-rendered scenes have a few caveats on the music-less tracks: it uses mono audio, so no panning effects, and a lot of sound effects are missing due to how the 5.1 surround was divided up. But dialog is all good: think of it as a cool bonus ;)

This set goes from the start of the game to Kingdom of Corona. I'm doing it in parts because of how much space the raw capture files take up. If I did everything in one go it would fill up my hard drive haha, so I'm moving them to an external drive every now and then. Plus I figured it's better to give people access as soon as possible, what with how long this takes. Hopefully the next part will come out a bit faster.
