Is that a picture of Twilight Thorn in Traverse Town?
I think this game will be awesome!
Who will voice the younger Sora, though?

we have no clue who will yes that is a nobody.--[[User:ZACH|ZACH]] 03:23, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

In recent games, like Re: Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days, Osment has continued to voice younger Sora, despite his older voice. Whether this will carry over or not has yet to be seen. 
So, at the moment, I think that Osment will continue to voice Sora, but it's still too early to tell. [[User:Tamroc7|Tamroc7]] 03:28, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Just a question, If it's for the 3ds (which I've never heard of) would it work on a normal DS as well? --[[Special:Contributions/173.64.12.25|173.64.12.25]] 22:11, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

{{AxelLivesOn|time=22:17, June 16, 2010 (UTC)|text= Well, the new 3DS (March-April 2011) Is specially designed to make 3D images without glasses. And I bet that the game will be made for that specific format so that it can be 3D without anything. So, I believe that it will not work on a regular DS. (But, that's my opinion & research...)}}

i'm hoping that it will be playable on the normal ds, it just wont have the 3d effects to it. or maybe they'll make two versions of the game, but considering this game is being made for the 3ds it probably won't.--[[User:Soul reaper magnum|Soul reaper magnum]] 09:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

{{One-Winged Angel|time=14:59 June 18, 2010|zexion=Check this out!: [http://ds.ign.com/articles/109/1094930p2.html] If you can turn off the 3D effects on a 3DS, doesn't that hint that KH3D can be playable on a regular DS as it would be as if it was on a 3DS with th 3D off? This reminds me of how B&W GBoy games had ''some'' color when played on a GBoy Color. My point is, I believe it's not the game itself that is programmed to be 3D, but something in the console. So KH3D will be playable on a regular DS, it just won't ''be'' 3D because of the missing component.}}

i hope that's how it is, and i think that the 3d effects being optional is a great idea. especially for people like me that don't like 3d effects in games.--[[User:Soul reaper magnum|Soul reaper magnum]] 03:28, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

The 3DS is entirely different hardware. It's not just the 3D effects that separate it from the DS. The game won't be playable on the (soon to be outdated) DS. [[Special:Contributions/98.245.249.137|98.245.249.137]] 05:53, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

In case you guys may be confused, Kingdom Hearts on the 3DS is not a 3d version of RE:Coded. It is an entirely different game (which is Awesome!) If you want some proof you can follow this link....

== Original Title ==
Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto has confirmed that KH3D is an original title, not another rehash.
http://www.khinsider.com/latest/kingdom-hearts-3d-at-e3-2010.html

I don't want to take anything from the demo trailer too seriously, but Sora having a dream about Twilight Thorn is pretty out there. After reading the trailer summary, the only missing piece is a description of Sora after he wakes up. Is it still KH1 Sora or is it KH2 Sora? If it's KH1 Sora then I don't know what to think, but if it's KH2 Sora then 3D is probably the sequel to Coded/ Re:coded. It will be the game about the "pieces laying where they fell" and Sora "picking up the pieces" and the "boy who is connected to everyone/thing" and "returning to the Darkness to free those who are crippled" and all of that.--[[User:XYZach|XYZ.]] 16:07, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Well here's my opinion, and its only speculation and what I WANT to have happen rather than what the game really may be, but my guess is that this game is like what's going on inside Sora's head while he was spending a year in hibernation after CoM. I don't think that the series is quite ready for the point where Sora is "picking up the pieces where they fell", because he's still in his KH1 clothing and appearance, and if what happens after coded is supposed to come after KHII he would have the older appearance and new clothes right? But it seems like it would make sense that this may be a dream world for Sora because if you think about it, the appearance of the Twilight Thorn might coincide with Roxas fighting the Twilight Thorn in KHII and the fact that its going on with Roxas would explain why its going on in Sora's head. Once again, this is just a guess of mine and no one really has to take it seriously, but I don't want another huge sequel that involves a bunch of Soras falling from the sky and him looking like he did in KH1. I suppose we'll find out soon enough though. [[User:Axel&#39;s Sentiment|Axel&#39;s Sentiment]] 19:10, June 17, 2010 (UTC)Axel's Sentiment
::If it's because of the fight with Roxas and the Twilight Thorn, then the Twilight Thorn would have to be the final boss, and I don't think they would show us him this early.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 20:58, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

No I'm not entirely sure of that, although you make a good point, but I'm just making the point that it might show the link between Sora and Roxas. And as for Riku, his story might be the story of what he does while Sora is asleep, or something like that. [[User:Axel&#39;s Sentiment|Axel&#39;s Sentiment]] 21:37, June 17, 2010 (UTC)Axel's Sentiment
:We've already seen what Riku did while Sora was asleep. And if the "appearance of the Twilight Thorn coincides with Roxas fighting the Twilight Thorn", then it would have to be Sora's final boss, because that was Roxas's second to last day, as I recall.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 00:12, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, if we go by the logic of "if Sora's dream relates to Roxa's actions," then the final boss of the game would have to be Axel, because he is the last enemy faced in Roxas's story. [[User:Tamroc7|Tamroc7]] 00:27, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


Here's more information:

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/06/18/nomura_on_kh_3ds/

Here's the gist of it:
*Kingdom Hearts 3D's development started with Square Enix hearing the general details of the 3DS system from Nintendo. They wanted to make a quick demo. Nomura already had a general framework for some gameplay systems and a story that he felt would match the 3DS's visual expression. Thus began the Kingdom Hearts 3D project.

*While the name "Kingdom Hearts 3D" isn't a final name, it does have something to do with the final name. The "3D" in this placeholder title does not stand for "3 Dimension," said Nomura, but is an abbreviation for the game's subtitle.

*Famitsu noted that while the game's E3 demo shows Sora and Riku as they appear in the first Kingdom Hearts game, they're presented in some situations that would be impossible for the first game. Replied Nomura to this, "This is because it's not a remake, but a completely original game. This time, Sora and Riku are the two main characters. We're currently in the process of selecting new worlds."

*Nomura said that the story would be something unexpected, something that to a certain extent breaks the developments that have taken place according to fan expectation. However, he did say that Re: Coded, the upcoming DS remake of Coded, would have some hints.

Not very revealing, but I'm pretty sure this is a sequel to Coded. A game about Sora's memories returning while he sleeps in the Memory Pod would be an uh interesting twist, I guess, but that could also be disastrous. Overall, it would be entirely pointless. Not to mention Nomura stated he's picking new worlds. That pretty much rules out a dream game. --[[User:XYZach|XYZ.]] 02:40, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
::::Soooooo it's time travel. Apparently Sora is "reconnecting" everything by going back and keeping the bad things from happening.
::::It does have precedent in the series (Timeless River), and it would fit exactly with "breaks the developments that have taken place", as well as following directly from coded's ending, and explains why there would be new worlds that should be impossible for Sora to have gone to.
::::I betcha. I betcha.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 03:43, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

If you recall, before Sora and co. enter the door to Timeless River, Merlin warns them not to succumb to dark influences. I'm pretty sure that meddling with events that already occurred to alter the timeline and course of the KH universe's history is what he meant by dark. And now that you got me started on a total rant, Nomura has suggested that once a Heartless has been destroyed and the Heart returns to Kingdom Hearts, and the matching Nobody fades away, the Heart and Body can reunite in Kingdom Hearts and the complete being can be reborn. Although that has yet to happen, it totally ruins the idea of permanence within the series. And then to add Sora going back in time to alter history would just flat out ruin the series.--[[User:XYZach|XYZ.]] 03:58, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
::You are completely right. A time-traveling based game would likely be the final nail in the coffin, or at least another huge step downwards.
::I still think that's what he's hinting at.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 05:22, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


"'''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.''" -Tetsuya Nomura

From what Nomura has told us, KH3D will be N3DS exclusive.--[[User:XYZach|ΧƳƵach.]] 17:06, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Nintendo just wants to sell more versions of the Ds, and they apparently want KH3D to be a special game. --[[File:Axel with chakrams ~ chain of memories.gif]][[User:AxelLivesOn|<sup><font face="Forte" color="red" size=4>Axel</font face></sup>]] [[User talk:AxelLivesOn|<font face="Forte" color="orange" size=3>Lives</font face>]] [[Special:Contributions/AxelLivesOn|<sub><font face="Forte" color="gold" size=4>On</font face></sub>]] [[File:Axel-ChOfMem.png|42px]]

The N3DS will most likely serve as the NDS' successor. The NDS is already the 2nd best selling console in the history of ever, right after PS2, so now try to imagine how well it will sell with 3D effect graphics and all of the features of the different models put together, but mostly with the 3D effect graphics. KH3DS is not a special game, have you read any of Nomura's interviews about it? Well I guess there is only one. What happened was he heard about the magic of the N3DS and threw some material together for a Demo. I doubt Nintendo is complaining about getting one of the better selling franchises onto their system, but Nomura actually went to them about it this time.--[[User:XYZach|ΧƳƵach.]] 17:16, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

All of the articles about the N3DS state it as backward compatible with both NDS game and NDSi Ware. This would insinuate the N3DS games beings N3DS exclusive.--[[User:XYZach|ΧƳƵach.]] 17:22, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

True. I mean, 3D with no special glasses!?!? That's pretty cool. It says that the game will link up the recent KH games: 
#Coded
#358/2 Days
#Birth by Sleep   
And that they will also have new worlds in the game, but both Destiny Islands & Traverse Town have been seen. --[[File:Axel with chakrams ~ chain of memories.gif]][[User:AxelLivesOn|<sup><font face="Forte" color="red" size=4>Axel</font face></sup>]] [[User talk:AxelLivesOn|<font face="Forte" color="orange" size=3>Lives</font face>]] [[Special:Contributions/AxelLivesOn|<sub><font face="Forte" color="gold" size=4>On</font face></sub>]] [[File:Axel-ChOfMem.png|42px]]

== New KH 3D information. ==

From an interview with Nomura from Dengeki magazine:

*KH3D was created after Nintendo approached Tetsuya Nomura. Nomura has a unique idea for this game. 
*KH3D will occur in the same timeline as current games. 
*The two main characters will be Sora and Riku. Throughout the game, the two appear to be "alternating", creating a system of two people. 
*This story is full of mystery, and will be beyond expectations. Due to the timeline, players will have to think hard about the idea, as to not *be fooled. 
*The player will realise the scenario in time, but for the meanwhile it will be a mystery twist. 
*Nomura cannot reveal more information at this time. 
*The 3D system will be taken advantage of, but more cannot be said at this time. 
*The theme of the game is "trust".

It's not much, but we can't ask for too much because Re:Coded still has to come out. And it does provide proof that KH3D occurs in the same timeline as current games. So until more information is out, enjoy what we now know. [[User:Tamroc7|Tamroc7]] 21:47, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

My favorite line in that interview (which is not in your summary and i'm too lazy to find a link to,) Is that Nomura wants "A Riku that flies, and a Sora that falls."
Which is also the lamest multiple language pun I'd have expected from him.[[Special:Contributions/204.211.185.107|204.211.185.107]] 19:16, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

==Fill in the blanks==

Okay, IO read in the Ansem reports the other day that there are four unexplained asences in the series: Xehanort befor HKI, Roxas between CoM and KHII, Mickey after KHII, and Riku before some other instance (sorry, it's a miracle I remembered the other three. Maybe Namine's messin' with my head?) The first three are already explained in BBS, 358/2 days, and :Coded. Anyone who agrees this one'll account for Rikus absencem say aye!

These ''are'' explained! Hello!? Xehanort before KHI is Terra, Roxas between CoM&KHII is 358/2 Days, Mickey after KHII is Coded! Pay attention to the series! --[[User:One-Winged Angel|One-Winged Angel]] 01:55, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

:Sorry! I was just stating that every other absence WAS  explained (even though the page said unexplained)But if you read other comments on this page, I think my theory is slightly more sound. Sorry for typos and I know they were explained. Do you agree or not?

Oops. I'm...Sorry. I'm developing a bad habit of partially reading things so I didn't see you say they were explained. I think part of it is that I'm confused on how you seem to say Roxas, Mickey, and Riku are mentioned in the A. Reports? --[[User:One-Winged Angel|One-Winged Angel]] 02:08, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

:Yeah, check the Riku page. I checked again and it said in the Ansen Reports, every other ansence but Riku's durring KHI (We've got no idea how he got the the other side of Kingdom Hearts door). And it's alright. I just hope someone agrees.

::My mistake. It was the Directors Report No. XIII. Sorry 'bout that.
::No, it said "The period of Mickey's absence", which refers to either Mickey obtaining the Keyblade or what he did between CoM and KH2, neither of which have been really covered.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 02:17, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

THANK YOU!!! Now that we've got that cleared up, Nomura already stated KH3D was one of the three unconfirmed games. He specifically stated re:Coded was not one of those games. Finally, he said KHIII WAS one of those games, but it's still in conceptual stages. that being said, THERE'S STILL ONE MORE GAME TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!!

::No, he specifically clarified in the GameInformer interview that he had been mistranslated by fansites, and that KH3 was "''not even'' in the conceptual stages", and that there were absolutely no plans to do it as of now - like the situation for Birth by Sleep right after KH1 came out. It will probably be released, but no one, at all, is thinking about it right now. He also pretty heavily implicated that Re:Coded was one of the two upcoming games, as he said it was a special treat for North America. So, we pretty much know already what the hinted games are.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 02:47, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


<blockquote>"Translations of your interview in the Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Ultimania seem to confirm that Kingdom Hearts III is coming along with two other games." / Tetsuya Nomura: "Kingdom Hearts III is not a confirmed title. I actually phrased my answer for the Ultimania "two titles other than III" to avoid speculation that we were working on Kingdom Hearts III." / Bryan Vore: "Are there any hints you can provide about these games?" / Tetsuya Nomura: "Hints would give away too much, and for Kingdom Hearts we're contractually obligated to keep any information that has not been officially released under wraps. However, I can say one of the two projects mentioned above came into existence because we wanted to do something for the North American fans, so we'll be announcing it at E3."</blockquote>

::Okay. I was reading off wikipedia, so I guess it was wrong. But I've got a question. Does anyone think this'll explain Riku's absence or not!?!

The problem is: what Mickey was doing between BbS and KHI? OK, he was in the Realm of Darkness, finding Kingdom Key D. But he took ten years to do that? And he didin't met with Aqua? I guess he did something else in the mid time.

:He was probably still training with Yen Sid. But this thread isn't about mickey or translations. It's about Riku! Do ''any'' of you guys even think my theory ''might'' be correct or not? I mean, c'mon. I read the other theories and they just don't make much sense to me. Is my idea THAT outrageous?--[[User:Wh!te$tar|Wh!te$tar]] 00:08, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I think the "period of Riku's absence" that Nomura was referring to is the period between CoM and KHII, which was partly explained during 358/2 Days. Sure, we don't know EVERYTHING that he did or the inexplicable aging mere days after the events of CoM, but you do see an overall view of just what Riku was doing while working for DiZ. 

So I'm not jumping to any conclusions on what 3D is about, but I think that Riku's story has been told already.[[User:Tamroc7|Tamroc7]] 13:18, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

:Sorry, but i still disagree. Sorry, but so far everyone's just been saying they ''think'' Riku's story is over. And it is a pretty big deal to me. I mean, can you honestly say you don't care about how Riku got intO Kingdom Hearts a mere few days after Xehanort's Heartless took over him. Secondly how did he escape Kingdom Hearts and get to Castle Oblivion? It's a plot hole you could drive a truck through!--[[User:Wh!te$tar|Wh!te$tar]] 21:07, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

== Why on earth is every characters 'Kingdom Hearts 3D' Story part in Other Appearances? ==
{{Rucario|time=09:12, September 3, 2010 (UTC)|text=Nomura has already stated in an interview (Be smart and use Google to find it) that Kingdom Hearts 3D is part of the continuity, not some what-if-scenario/non-canon-spinoff/completely-different-game, so why is it listed in 'Other Appearances' for Riku, Sora, and any other character I've missed?}}
It's not that we don't think it's part of the canon, it's just that we don't know HOW it fits in with the rest of the story. No one knows how and when it takes place just yet, and the fact that Sora and Riku are presented in their KHI incarnations doesn't help us. So until we get a solid definition of when this takes place, it's in the "Other Appearances" section.

Besides, it was a demo. There's a chance that Nomura may make the final product look entirely different. [[User:Tamroc7|Tamroc7]] 13:12, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

== Speculation about the storyline ==

{{Webuiltthecross|text=First off, to clear everything up, this will NOT be able to be played on the DS, only the 3DS. Here's an analogy to help the small-minded and children: 3DS is to DS/DSi/DSlite as GBA is to GBC. The games will be exclusive to the 3DS and it's predecessors will not be forward compatible. The problem isn't really the 3D aspect of it so much as the extra controls (analog) and the extensively improved graphics. Anyways, onto what I really came here for. I was thinking today, would it be possible that Kingdom Hearts 3D takes place directly after Chain of Memories and it's a dream while Namine is messing with Sora's memories? Some problems are that Riku is not sleeping yet he is still a playable character and there will be new worlds which could not be part of Sora's memories. |time=01:33, September 12, 2010 (UTC)}}

Sadly, there won't be a playable demo. The 3rd Birthday, Dissidia 2, and Re:Coded have that honor. However, they may show the E3 Trailer here, and maybe some details will be shown.

Of course, the 3DS may not even be there, but only time will tell. [[User:Tamroc7|Tamroc7]] 02:47, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

== Super Special Awesome Dream Theory ==

Could KH3D be a prequel to KH1 and be more dreams like the one at the beginning of 1. They could be weird dream/reality things. This would also explain why in KH1 Sora says "another weird dream" (probs completely miss quoted but it was something like that) emphasis on the another. He could have been having more weird dreams before that one. Oh and so could Riku.

i could be wrong but i dont think sora said anything about another weird dream.  I am pretty sure the one at the beginning of KH1 is the only weird dream

In the opening to KHI, he talks about having these "weird thoughts," not dreams. So no, I don't think that's the idea, but it's still a good thought. [[User:Tamroc7|Tamroc7]] 03:46, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

== OK, feel free to call me stupid, because this idea is just that. ==

Maybe this game alternates between you playing as sora and riku, but the rest of the plot stays the same around it and it is not actually sora/riku, but xion because she has taken both of their appearances.  ok i know its crazy and does not resolve the timeline issue, but it is certainly insane enough for square and TN.

{{ST|text=it would definitely be something completely unexpected, so yea that makes sense, and it would be realllt cool}}

== Famitsu interview ==

The next issue of Famitsu Weekly will include an interview with the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. Heartsation has translated a summary of this interview and at the bottom 3D was mentioned:
- The next title is Kingdom Hearts 3D. The story takes place after Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded. Now that Re:Coded is over the Osaka team is meeting up and beginning development.

It also includes "3" which implies that this may be the third iteration of Kingdom Hearts. You'll be able to see what kind of game it will be like from this tentative name. With the encounters, and the contacts with others as the game's theme, you will grow with the character, with the characters in the game. But it's not Sora, whom you are familiar with. This time, you will realize growth by the effects of someone else. It's a unique, and more than a bit of a strange system, that we are trying to build this time. There are limits on the things that we can do in the universe of Kingdom Hearts, but the things we cannot do, we'd like to try them in other software.

* KH3D will occur in the same timeline as the current games.
* The Two main characters will be Sora and Riku. Throughout the game the two appear to be "alternating", creating a system of two people.

Xabryn, It's a pun. because "Sora" is the japanese word for sky, and "Riku" is the japanese
word for land. so, a "Flying land" and "Falling sky" implies, among other things, that their usual positions would be reversed. Also, I can't help but think that the part in the
