Kingdom Hearts III

It's interesting to see the differences between English and Japanese trailers, in terms of dialogue.

"This power... so you're Elsa" sayeth Sora in Japanese. "That's amazin! You can control ice" in English.

Well, it makes more sense in Japanese, since she recoils when he says her name. Huh. I wonder how many more apparently arbitrary changes like this there'll be.

The Japanese line also makes more sense in that Sora can cast all kinds of magic (including Blizzard/Blizzara/Blizzaga), so it's kind of strange for him to be all taken aback by Elsa's ice powers. :monster:

Sweet Shiva! I didn't think Port Royal actually had a chance to return for KH3! I was kinda hoping but I didn't think it would actually be a reality! Confusing on why it's set during "At World's End" and they haven't gone to Dead Man's Chest. Oh well, at least it's still here.

Now that POTC's third story is in KH3, they HAVE to bring Agrabah back because the King of Thieves is the third and final story of the Aladdin trilogy! Please Nomura, make it happen!

James Arnold Taylor voiced Jack Sparrow in KHII. Maybe he perfected his voice?

I can't imagine they'd get Johnny Depp. I doubt even Disney is going to be willing to shill out that kind of money.

Not to mention isn't he still sorta not doing so hot after the drinking issues and the whole beating Amber Heard thing?

James might've. Plus, I don't think Johnny Depp would even have time to get into Kingdom Hearts as he's busy with movie roles as of this moment.

Who voiced Kairi? I couldn’t tell if it was Alyson Stoner or not.

If it is Alyson Stoner, then there goes my hopes for Hayden Panettiere to return for KH3. Only Hayden can do justice with Kairi and I had hoped she would return for KH3 given her roles in KH1 and KH2, and even in Birth By Sleep. Not to mention her role as Xion in Dream Drop Distance.

But looks like Alyson is Kairi's permament role now and she voiced her in Chain of Memories and 0.2: A Fragmentary Passage while her main role was for Xion.

I think the recording was done while she was dealing with post natal depression, so they probably just left her alone for that reason. That's why she wasn't in 0.2.

That, and also that she's probably too busy with the TV series Nashville since she plays one of the main characters.

So apparently KH III was set to release in Japan this year (hence 2018) but later on everywhere else. But they delayed the release of the Japanese version to get a more world wide release.... that's why it's not coming out in 2018... which... if THAT'S the reason, I'm perfectly fine with that

Huh, if that’s true, maybe that explains why Marluxia was in the Japanese version of the Pirates focused trailer but not the English version? That there’s still a lot of English voice recording and other localization stuff to do?

EDIT: From reading the rest of the article, apparently their financial/marketing team didn’t think the original date (presumably October to December-ish) would be good for Western markets? Is there just to much competition with other titles releasing during that period in the West, even with holiday shopping boosts?

Thanks for that. It sounds like it was going to be out worldwide but they were told that they date they had was a bad time to release it? The wording is a little confusing.
