Ah, maybe I got my wires crossed then
True. Though it'll honestly be jarring if we don't get a BBS/DDD level spinoff before KH4 imo

Kingdom Hearts 4 was revealed at the KH 20th Anniversary Event Game set in Quadratum (Verum Rex). No platforms announced.
- Thread starter Helix
- Start date
If they go MCU they should go hard and have it involve the Multiverse so it can be legit canon in both series. Sora teams up with Doctor Strange, everything is canon now. Or do a What If? style thing. Though I suppose with the multiverse basically anything MCU adjacent can now be considered 'canon.'
I'd imagine they'd be more open with Moana nowadays. If they're the same with Encanto I don't think it could get as screwed up as Frozen did, just based on how the stories differ.

There is a part of me that's a little afraid that if Nomura tries to get the MCU into KHIV that we end up with Kevin Feige turning his gaze over at Kingdom Hearts and that starts a weird chain reaction with Disney finally taking control and Feige somehow ends up steering the series.
Nightmare shit!
Nightmare shit!
I suppose, though I think KH4 as of now has TOO much to cover, and a game focusing on the BBS Trio, Lea, Isa and the mystery girl or something would be welcome while 4 deals with Quadratum, Verum Rex or whatever.
Are the 4 development teams fully accounted for now?
Ehhh, I still really want a Yozora focused game without Sora. Hopefully it happens at some point.
I think so. And I just don't think Square can really fire out a full console spinoff at the same alacrity they could do so for portable games. A spinoff on consoles would take as long to make as KH4 itself.
yeah this is where we definitely feel the loss of dedicated portable systems
It'd have to be like MOM where the gameplay is a completely different genre/justifies asset reuse
I suppose that's where the mobile games fit in now instead.

Translating to Kingdom Hearts 3 is at 6.7 million as of September 2021.
It will most likely happen. Nomura just chose to do this first before Verum Rex.
Please god let this not just be a coincidence. Let's get another World of game.
Console spin offs are done. Hand held spinoffs were doable because smaller scale less high res assets required so less work overall. But now your min effort is Switch in that department and people would expect KH3 level from that. Mobile games are the new spin offs sadly which means MTX riddled bullshit. I really wish we got an MMO Spin off after they saw how successful FF14 was.
Yeah he said he had the choice of doing a Verum Rex game or a Sora game and chose the latter.
You know what now that I think about it - no, console spin-offs shouldn't be dead.
Look at final fantasy. It recieves a variety of them. Stuff in a different art style/gameplay system like WoFF (Hell they could basically make a UX remake like this). Outsourced projects like Stranger of Paradise. All of that still comes to consoles. I don't see why the same can't be done of KH.

This site has good summary of all the things that was talked during the event.I suppose that's where the mobile games fit in now instead.

Nomura does confirm Sora's look is like this because he is in Quadratum (everyone knows but I think there might be some who think his look will be like that the whole game)
One word: Disney. From what I've heard, Disney does not want ANY KH projects done without Nomura's direct oversight. I don't think they'd be willing to greenlight an outsourced KH game.
Well there's no reason he couldn't right? Similar to how Sakamoto still directed the two most recent Metroid games despite them being outsourced to MercurySteam
It's possible but I guess they seems to be more strict? I think KH remaster collections were done internally, when most other remasters from SE are outsourced.
I mean, we've had outsourced KH games before. Jupiter did Chain of Memories, h.a.n.d did 358/2 Days and Re:Coded, indieszero did Melody of Memory...
All of those had Tetsuya Nomura involved.
Lately, Tai Yasue ( The Co-director of the Kingdom Hearts Franchise!) Is involved in any project too
Still can't believe this actually happened... I was expecting thirteen spin-offs between KH3 and KH4, but instead we're already getting it after... what, two? Melody of Memory and then Missing Link. Man, this is wild. And the craziest part is we didn't just get some cinematic tease, we got gameplay too!
Very excited to see Strelitzia show up! So that means Sora really is dead, though I wonder if it's because of what Yozora did to him... or just a result of all the heart-hopping he did to save Kairi. Either way, this gives me hope that Strelitzia can be reunited with her brother eventually!

That's kind of my point. If having spin offs farmed to outside developers with Nomura still directly in charge as recent as last year wasn't a problem before, why would it be now?
Because those games took far less effort to be made than games today. Additionally Nomura is working on multiple projects he wasnt actively working on KH3 while working on those main side games.
Nomura said he had to choose between KH4 and Verum Rex because he couldn't do 2 console titles at the same time, which I think means he doesn't really want to outsource a big console KH games. with the age on no real handheld systems, the only option seems to be Switch or Mobile game for smaller spinoffs, and I guess they went with mobile in Missing-Link.
Either that or having them look like employees at the parks with costumes.
But the peak form of this joke would be getting one of the Lion King characters looking like their stage musical counterparts.
Leeness!? Is that you!? Wow I haven't seen you in forever lol
Hi!! I've been around haha, though maybe more in EtcEra. Still post in gaming for KH, Xeno, and FF haha.
How are you?!
Where did he say that?
Nomura said he put Donald and Goofy scene at the end of the trailer to say the usual KH visual style Sora will be still there.
I'm chill! Thanks for asking! It's great to see you. Last time I remember seeing you was when FFXV released LOL
seems like he said it during the event
it was mentioned in one of Japanese media's summary of the event.
