So with Nomura at E3 and the announcement of Kingdom Hearts 3D of course somebody would snag him for an interview! So he sat down and talked about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D game and here's what we now know:
- Kingdom Hearts 3D does not stand for "Kingdom Hearts 3 Dimension", 3D is a acronym of the title... Like how we call Birth by Sleep BBS for short.
- Quoth Nomura: "...it's not a remake, but a completely original game. This time, Sora and Riku are the two main characters."
- New worlds will be introduced in KH3D
- Quoth Nomura: "'KH3D' will be a title that enters a new step to follow the three games whose production was announced simultaneously, '358/2 Days, Birth by Sleep, and Coded."
- As for the story itself its suppose to be something unexpected, something that to a certain extent breaks the developments that have taken place according to fan expectation.
- Also: Expect Nomura back at E3 next year with MORE Kingdom Hearts titles
What does this all mean... I HAVE NO IDEA! Here's what I'm thinking though: All of the Kingdom Hearts games have a deep focus on friendship. So maybe a rift between Riku and Sora? There was a rather big rift during the first game so maybe...? I dunno! If I knew where this game stood in the time line I'd have some better ideas as to what the story could be about but as is... DAMN YOU NOMURA! Looking forward to getting to play as Riku again though.
(Oh yeah.... totally predicted that Riku would be a main character in one of the new games: HA)
