New scans and interview! Kingdom Hearts: Coded
New scans have appeared online from the latest Famitsu, and they feature the game in action! Let me be the first to say, the PSP and DS iterations look fantastic! This third article will quickly deal with new info regarding Coded.
Nothing particularly new in the scans – the game is as expected, an action/puzzle game that takes place literally after KH2, but inside Jiminy’s Journal, revealing unknown secrets. The interview is what should get the majority of you interested – surprise, surprise, Nomura is designing the game so that it can go overseas! He also reinforces that all three of these titles will be leading to a new, major Kingdom Hearts title “sooner or later”.
Rather than explain myself, I’ll let FF7AC Reunion’s great translation of the recent interview do the talking. Click ‘Read the article’ to read the new interview!
Prepare for more info on all these three titles very soon!
Sources: KH Vids, FF7AC Reunion and Spira’s Destiny.
Interviewer: “The Screen is Horizontal, even though the game is for the cellphone, why is this?”
Nomura: This is not just the length screen but also a model screen specification for the most recent cellphones. It is what we assume the game to look like when it’s released to the public. The method for the horizontal screen has already been talked about, it is a basic horizontal screen size.
Interviewer: Is the screen in 3D incase of Pseudo (?)
Nomura: The Background is 3D, and the characters are 2D. The Development of this game is still in progress, and we plan to have the game both 3D, and 2D. The reason is so that we can have the game available to a range of cellphones. The reason we developed this idea, is because we wish to send this game overseas.
Interviewer: What shape will the delivery form take?
Nomura: Unlike the situations in larger game development, we always thought the world of Kingdom Hearts could be made mobile. For instance, there is a huge amusement park, and the main attraction is KHc (Kingdom Hearts Coded). It can be like an entrance to an Amusement park, free of charge, allowing you to visit each world. That is the delivery plan of KHc. We plan on taking full advantage for the mobile phone.
Interviewer: Will the storyline be based on Sora’s adventures in Kingdom Hearts?
Nomura: The timeline is based on after Kingdom Hearts II, Jiminy’s Journal is analyzed, and the adventure will take place in that. Therefore data of Sora will appear, not Sora. The world that was shown was a stage, though this was through the time of COM, and re:COM over the memory of Sora.
Interviewer: What will this game be able to do?
Nomura: This is going to be a puzzle game, mixed with action. Data is being displayed, and there are some bugs in Jiminy’s book. The area must be analyzed in order to find the bug that is violating the data, and then you need to remove the bug. However some may get a bit more confusing as there will be ladders Sora will use to get to higher areas.
Interviewer: When do you think this game will be released?
Nomura: You may have to wait a while, as there are still some problems with the specs of cellphones for now. However we are not asking you to wait for 2, or 3 years. (Possibly this means around a year or so)
Interviewer: Will these works be connected with the “New” KH game?
Nomura: KHc features Sora, however the DS, and PSP both are completely different stories, though I cannot say what they are yet. I can say these titles are not the last of the series, and all three will connect to a New Kingdom Hearts Game sooner or later.
o_O A new game!?!?! You mean it’s certain there’s gonna be one?
It seems these games will lead up to a new kingdom Hearts game sooner or later.I wonder what the game will be called or when it will be released or maybe even what system it will be for?This new Kingdom Hearts game news will definitly stir up a lot of questions.
This game in itself is raising questions, didnt he also say that he was thinking of creating the game to work overseas? is so, what is gonna be played on?
I’m curious about that one as well. I doubt it’ll be for the PS3. It wouldn’t seem right.
I hope it’s not..
Say wha?
defintly not ps3 material right there, waste of money to do that, maybe a download on the ps3 though…from its online store, that, actually sounds pretty reasonable, anyone else agree?
that or from the virtual console wii option. I dont think it will be made into a full game, maybe like a pc game if were even lucky enough to get it.
If its not gonna be downloadable from the ps3 network, i agree with luna, and it wont be released as a full game, maybe released with BBS or 358/2 on that handheld, or maybe even something downloadable from the kh site or the square site.
I love it how its not even certain if the game is coming to america and were already talking on how there gonna produce it
It’s for mobiles… that’s what he means, he’s making the game so that it uses less specs that what the Japanese mobile phones use, so that it can be playable on US mobiles.
This game has nothing to do with Sony or Nintendo, therefore Square are unlikely to pay the money to get this little thing published on Wii’s virtual console or the PSN.
Yeah but if the japanese phpones are a lot more advance than ours, then there is gonna be a lot of revamping, am i right?
I want a Japanese phone.
i agree with you reza.
No no no, he’s making the game less advanced so that overseas games can play it too.
Oh alright, i get ya loud and clear now, hes gonna make it that way the first time rather than revamping it, alrgiht, makes sense now
I just want to play the game…and i agree Tempest, I also want a japanese phone if its more advanced and if i can play KH on it!So Reza…do you think it KH will come out for the PS3! I also agree with organization XIII…if it comes out for the PS3, it wont be the same!
this coded game, its not gonna be on the main system, its a filler game, nothing more. It be on our cells, if not something downloadable
Awesome! that sounds awesome!
But remember y’all, this game, as was stated in the article above ( ;) Golden lol) is AFTER KH2. Which means that this game will likely end with Mickey writing the letter he sent to Destiny Islands in the bottle.
I just whatched that on u tupe{i think i spelled it wrong}just to refresh my memory…its been alittle while ago when I beat # 2. It made want to know what the note said? Is it another mission,telling about new evil,calling for soras help? It could be so many things!
For one thing, it’s definitely not about the nobodies. Maybe it’s those disoul creatures I mentioned once before?
There no wrong awnsers until you play the game.
Could be anything..I’m opting that it’s something about the chasers.
Heheh, thanks for the quote Tempest.
But yeah, I had a thought – if the game isn’t able to be released to the US anyway because it just doesn’t work out for Square, I’m sure the amount of important story points overall would be quite small, so they’d probably just have some fill-in scene near the beginning of any games taking place after it timeline-wise.
Probably easier for Square to do than try and find providers for the game in the US, I’d say.
You got a point Golden
I thought I wrote something on here too. Uh, oh well.
It ok tempest
I know. lol
So…
Kingdom Hearts Coded is confusing.
Never mind I understand the story now.
ok?
