<p><a href="http://www.khinsider.com/news/Jump-Festa-2014-Coverage-3476">Jump Festa 2014</a> is over and Square Enix has released a high quality version of the <a href="http://www.khinsider.com/news/Kingdom-Hearts-HD-2-5-ReMIX-English-Trailer-3478">Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- trailer</a>, but the news doesn't stop there. In the latest issue of Famitsu, series director Tetsuya Nomura discusses <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em>, <em>Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX</em>, <em>Kingdom Hearts </em><span><em>χ[chi]</em>, and the potential for a <em>Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]</em> high definition remaster!</span></p>
<p>Here is a brief summary of the interview and you can check out the fully translated interview bullet points below:</p>
<p>Nomura talks about how <em>Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX-</em> is being worked on by the same team as <em>-HD 1.5 ReMIX-</em> and the work has been moving much faster than when they worked on <em>-HD 1.5 ReMIX-</em>. Nomura also mentions how <em>Re:coded</em> HD Theater isn't as long as <em>358/2 Days</em> but will include new scenes from the Disney worlds. They've also begun recording and have just finished some Wonderland scenes last week. Overall, the process has been moving faster overall because the Osaka team have the <span>established system and experience from the first remaster.</span></p>
<p><span>On <em>Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]</em>, <span>Nomura added the scene in <em>KHx</em> with another Chirishii. </span>The Guilt system in <em>KHx</em> was originally meant to be "Orbs" but he changed the name to represent collecting the sin from Heartless. He also restates that even though <em>KHx</em> is an online social game, it still hold a piece of information that ties into <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em>.</span></p>

<p><span><span>The <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em> trailer at D23 Expo Japan was released for promotional reasons, and development is still in the early stages. They plan to evolve the Flowmotion system from <em>Kingdom Hearts 3D</em> to <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em>. <span id="docs-internal-guid-7b607fd9-25db-15b0-26ff-37db6e98a29a"><span>The Keyblade transformations in <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em> are insane, and we'll be surprised when we see what they can do. </span></span>Staff is currently writing the scenario for <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em>.</span></span></p>
<p><span>The most interesting thing Nomura states that the HD remasters are used to help</span> summarize the plots before Kingdom Hearts III but please do not think Kingdom Hearts 3D isn’t necessary for the storyline.</p>
<p><span>Nomura also states in the interview that they are waiting for the next opportunity to reveal information on <em>Final Fantasy XV</em> to the public.</span></p>
<p><span><span><strong>Update:</strong> Thanks to <strong>Zephyr</strong>, we have a translation of the interview bullet points. Check it out below:</span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX is being worked on the same team who did KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX and transitioning it to HD is progressing much more smoothly than KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• I have yet to announce a clear release date.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• Like KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX, there isn’t a lot of things to change but the volume is considerable.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• Re:coded isn’t as long as 358/2 Days because many of the cutscenes in Days were originally from the main story. I’ve added a new events in Disney Worlds. Also there will be new voice actors that will be appearing and we’ve just voice recorded for Alice’s world last week.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• Battle scenes and new scenarios have been added.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• <strong>There will be a scene where Re:coded leads up to KINGDOM HEARTS 3D</strong>.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• There is a sense to summarize the plots in the HD remasters for KINGDOM HEARTS III but please do not think KINGDOM HEARTS 3D isn’t necessary for the storyline.</span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span> </span></span></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• Although there is a mysterious story you should be aware. In KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi], dialogues of Chirithy have been added in episodes, there is an interesting scene where another Chirithy appears.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• The Guilt System that was originally developed with orbs have been changed. Guilt would be the drops we collect from Heartless.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• When I’m writing the scenario and connecting them together, I can no longer make sense in the answer that goal approaches. Therefore, I seek to answer how can I make this surprising.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi] scenarios have become more surprising.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• Concerning the Foreteller’s episode, events that will occur in the future will be written in the Foreteller’s Script.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• The last sentence in the Foreteller’s Script leads to KINGDOM HEARTS III.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• I think setting an end to KINGDOM HEARTS χ[chi], considering the nature of an online game, is difficult. I think KINGDOM HEARTS III may have online elements and it may be possible to link them but I currently don’t know.</span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span> </span></span></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• KINGDOM HEARTS III’s October PV was received positively but it is still insufficient development wise.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• You can choose the “Attraction Flow” ability according to the enemy and location. I’d like to mention in particular, boss battles have the richest ones. It is a system that has evolved from Flowmotion and it is a vital part of KINGDOM HEARTS III.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• There are various amazing transformations of the Keyblade such as guns.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• We’re planning it should be used as some sort of gimmick.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• Osaka’s team is working simultaneously on both KINGDOM HEARTS III and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• Nomura said he is currently writing the scenario for KINGDOM HEARTS III now.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>• FINAL FANTASY XV is still currently focused on development and I want you to wait until the timing is right to reveal more information.</span></p>
