The actual quote about Kingdom Hearts being on handhelds is: "It is not Kingdom Hearts III, but it is an anecdote... I want to explain what Mickey did in the World of Darkness, and also how he got his keyblade... I want to make this [new project] slightly different from the Kingdom Hearts' series, and change the system a little... The multi-developing makes me want to put it on something else... If we follow this idea, it would be hard to choose if to make the game for the "PSP", "NDS" or the cell phone." So it seemed probable that it would be made on handhelds, but not certain. I'm almost positive this isn't Kingdom Hearts 3 though, because they were very clear that Kingdom Hearts 3 development would not begin until Final Fantasy Versus XIII was completed, which won't be until the end of 2008 (in Japan). Meaning the game wouldn't even be shown until E3 2009 at the earliest. |
I think plans will change, because late 2008 is almost unrealistic for Versus. It's behind XIII in development (on purpose) but both have been hitting bumps and slowly and subtly sliding backwards in relation to when promises were made. XIII might make the end of 2008, but I wouldn't expect versus *anywhere* before 2009. I'm not sure how long Square (and Disney) are willing to wait on KH3 because PS3 development is holding them back.
