Only the first animated video produced for Disney’s briefing will be released at the venue
Regarding the appearance of the main character of the game, at the beginning, in order to match the Disney style, I wanted to use a demi-human style. As for the later change to pure human, Director Nomura said, “Fortunately, there have been changes. If it were not human, the story would not be what it is now.” In addition, from the early stage of the project, there was a special emphasis on the content of the sea. This is because Director Nomura is a child who grew up by the sea.
The game type will choose an action role-playing game because I want to make a role-playing game that allows players to move freely. Special attention was paid during development to make it easy for people who are not good at action games, including Director Nomura, to enjoy the game.
At this time, Director Nomura also publicly stated that because he can do whatever he wants, he doesn’t really like the too fantastical worldview. But on the other hand, it’s boring to follow reality directly, so I want to provide players with a sense of excitement that is a little bit different from reality.
After the performance, the composer Yoko Shimomura, who was in charge of the selection and arrangement, came on stage and said, “Because I hope to create a repertoire suitable for the 20th anniversary of the series, I chose the chamber music arrangement that was used for the first time in the series.” , and in terms of song selection, we also choose songs from each series as evenly as possible, choosing songs that are absolutely impossible not to choose, or songs that are loved by many fans.
Shimomura-sensei also looked back on the past 20 years and revealed on the stage, “Although there are many happy and sad things, it is great to have the opportunity to see your supporters directly like this.” .
Director Tetsuya Nomura answers player questions
There is also a section where director Nomura answers questions from players. Some of the questions mentioned below are answered in this way as they will be described in the development of the series, including the new work that will be released on the day.
Who the hell is Demix?
In Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross]”, after the player melted the heart of Saiyanote (ゼアノート), has he been in Saiyanote all the time?
In Kingdom Hearts 2, Rick gave the keyblade to Kaili, but where did he get the keyblade?
In Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross]”Finally, has Phimeira discovered the true meaning of the player?
When was the scar on Aiza’s face, and by whom?
Master “Sayanote” (マスターゼアノート) should have stronger powers when he was young, so why didn’t he activate it when he was young?
To the question “Who drew the mark of the Invisible (ノーバディ)”, the answer is “Although he is born with it, he does not have it in the human-shaped Invisible.”
As for the question “Did you find any inspiration from Hikaru Utada’s songs?”, the answer is that every time I start thinking about the opening animation after the opening theme song is completed, I have always looked for inspiration from it.
Regarding “When did Naminie (ナミネ) and the sage Ansem (アンセム) meet?”, it means that in the XIII agency, Rick and Sora all left the city of oblivion, leaving Naminie alone when. Because I think players will notice it during the game, I deliberately don’t describe it.
“The reason why Rick cut his hair in “Kingdom Hearts 3D” is because many players expressed their desire to cut “Rick’s hair”. And said that there are many places like this that they don’t know what to do, and they will adopt the opinions of players. For example, the resurrection of Roxas and Theon is the same.
To the question “What is the “※” of the world of “※” that the great teacher (マスターオブマスター) intends to make him disappear”, the answer is “hidden word”. Because it is clearly written in the script, people who are sensitive enough should be able to think of it;
“What is the difference between “falling into the darkness and becoming a mindless one (ハートレス) (creating the invisible one)””, it means that the former’s heart has fallen into the darkness, but the heart still remains, while the latter is that the heart has been Get out of the body.
The Kingdom Hearts series in the eyes of the voice cast and sound director
Regarding the first audition, although Irano Yuji can’t remember much, but because Uchida Risa likes the sea very much, she is still very impressed with the scene related to Destiny Island (デスティニーアイランド) in the audition.
The famous lines of Sora and Kelly were also introduced with a video at the venue. Irino Jiro confessed that because of his growth, it was difficult to make the same voice as before, so he was always asked to repeat it when recording, and he also praised his inner voice. Tian Lisha’s voice has not changed.
He also said that although he tried to be objective in his recording work, when Keiji Fujiwara, who played Axel, recorded the line “No matter how many times you run away, I will always bring you back!” Very impressed to hear.
Director Nomura mentioned that Sora looks more like a real person, saying “this is a unique way of expressing that world”, and mentioned that the same Sora will appear in the game as before.
The art setting picture mentioned at the beginning of the report was posted again at the exit of the venue. Under the part that was originally covered by the 20th anniversary commemorative pattern is Sora of Kingdom Hearts 4.
