Nomura is harnessing his burning anger into Kingdom Hearts III

Tetsuya Nomura has a message for fans who pick up a copy of the Kingdom Hearts Memorial Ultimania, which saw its release in Japan today. The message, which has been translated here in English, paints perhaps a troubling picture of the director, who likely did not leave his position on Final Fantasy XV on the best of terms. Based on his comments, it can also be assumed that Kingdom Hearts III won’t be the last title in the series.

“If I had to pick, I am a person more on the dark side like Xehanort and co., I harness the burning anger in my heart into what I create,” said Nomura. “Kingdom Hearts III’s current development explodes very much in this sense. Each time, it’s a battle with Sora and co. who are the exact opposite of myself, it’s been over 10 years and yet we haven’t reached a conclusion.

“This battle will surely last longer.

“In Kingdom Hearts III as well, I am scheming many challenges that Sora and his friends must overcome, because I myself cannot lose either. And in preparation for the great battle that lies ahead, we have this one book that looks back on their entire journey.”

The rest of his message can be read at SQEX.info, who has taken the time to translate the message in full.
