Hello Kingdom Hearts fans and welcome to another show of KHU; your one stop shop for all things Kingdom Hearts! This week, Branden is joined by the lovely Lauren and the even lovelier Churro. After the intros and greetings, the trio jumps straight into the news which deals with the KH music album release date, the sales figures for KH3D, and what Square Enix have announced they will be showcasing at TGS.

They discuss a little and then move onto the Burning Question. After reading through your answers from the previous show, they give out the new question which is "How long of a gap do you think will be reasonable between the announcement and release of Kingdom Hearts 3?" Get your answers in!

And then, the group goes to your questions and this time there are some great ones. Listen in as they discuss which KH enemy types they want in KH3, what issues are holding the KH franchise back, and whether or not Max Goof should make an appearance. But don't turn the podcast off yet because there is a great remix from KH 358/2! Get your fix for KH here and get ready for TGS!

Great podcast and i agree with you, its a shame SE doesnt advertise the series more, where i live the only KH game i saw being advertised on TV was KH2, and that 358/2 days final battle remix was awesome .

Burning question: the question is a bit hard to answer since it depends if they do like Versus, announce the game and release it 10 years later , but if they announce the game shortly after starting working on it, i would say 3 years, since it will use the same engine as Versus (and if we are lucky most likely Nomura already has the whole game in his mind) so it might not take that long, when its going to be released i would say in 6-8 years, since doesnt look like Versus will be complete any time soon.

Great episode. I especially enjoyed the discussion of the Disney aspects near the end of the show.

Burning question: I don't know what the average wait time is between announcement and release for a triple A game but I feel like to appease the fans they'll have to keep the wait comparatively short because Kingdom Hearts 3 has been hotly anticipated pretty much since the release of Kingdom Hearts 2.

burning question: I would say that since you guys mentioned the Osaka team working on something what if they are starting to make kingdom hearts 3 then after versus comes out Nomura's team will finish the setup and Kingdom hearts 3 will come out a few months to a year later because the Osaka team already was starting to work on it so maybe we'll see it around 2015-2016

Max Goof! Finally, someone feels the way I do lol I want to see Max because I don't just love those movies but Jason Marsden plays as him and he's my favorite voice actor! I want to see Max so bad!

Great podcast as always. About the burning question I feel in appropriate wait would be 2-3 years since they hopefully would be using the Versus engine that they have in place so that would cut down time, also i would hope that Nomura already has a story idea in place or a rough outline of one and just have to flesh it out. 2-3 years i believe would give them enough time to get the voice actors in decide on worlds make the game suitable for the engine and have all the things polished and ready to go. Also I would hope that it would be a PS3 title because i could see it taking a whole lot longer if it is moved to the PS4

Burning question: It has to be a 2-3 years window. I think that Square could use either the Versus Engine, or more likely the Luminous engine. That said I'm assuming that 2 years would put it squarely on track to be a launch title for either the PS4 or XBOX 720, I can see that being huge for whichever console lands it. So what I figure happens is that Square will announce KH3 as a launch title whenever PS4 or XBox is announced. I think this would be excellent and totally acceptable.

I'd say 3 years, and unfortunately, probably on one of the next gen consoles. I'm slowly starting to accept the fact that the PS3 will not be graced by Kingdom Heart's presence.

I say three years so the story can be absolutely perfect! As much as I enjoyed KH3D, the narration and the stories for each world should have been better.

I believe Brandon's accent is getting stronger in every episode. Either that, or I'm just noticing it more. I'm not sure which.
