But I do think that that situation probably changed this time and that we are allowed to do it. I assume that there were some reasons within Disney that did not allow us to do this, but I don't know what they were. Tetsuya Nomura: I've always wanted to have a Pixar world within Kingdom Hearts, it's just that Disney has always returned to me and said that it will be difficult to make it happen. Was it because the PS2 wasn't powerful enough to give you the results you wanted? I'm curious to know why they get more emphasis here, but not as much emphasis in, for example, Kingdom Hearts 2. Pixar films feature prominently in Kingdom Hearts 3. But other than that I'm just more relieved that I was able to tell the full story. Once I think about that, it makes me a little sad. Although I do feel a little sad when I think some characters will probably never appear ever again. I'm not really happy, I'm not really sad. It does come to an end, but I'm not fully swayed to one emotion. Are you happy? Are you a little sad that it's finally coming to an end? Tell me what it means to you to finally finish this story. Kingdom Hearts 3 finally brings the Dark Seeker Saga to a close after more than 15 years. I sat down to ask Nomura about what it's like to finally put a bow on a 16-year-old saga, his desire to bring back Pirates of the Caribbean, and of course, the Gummi Ship. "I think that whenever we would bring our previous titles, a lot of people at Disney, and this is my assumption, but I do assume that they probably didn't know what Kingdom Hearts was," he says.īut after five long years of development and 12 years of anticipation, Kingdom Hearts 3 is finally almost done. He talks about how much easier it was before Kingdom Hearts became an international success. Nomura offers hints on his own as he talks about the lengthy prep time, the desire to include as many styles of gameplay as possible, and the lengthy approvals process from Disney. It's tempting to bluntly ask, "What took so long?" But that's not really necessary. He's there to answer questions about Kingdom Hearts 3, a game that has been rumored and obsessed over for more than a decade.
