The wait is over. Kingdom Hearts III is coming, and it's the next game in the series.
How do I know? The answer is simple.
During the end credits of Dream Drop Distance, an interactive portion begins that gives you control of Sora as he dives through names of the fine folks at Square Enix who created the game. However, certain letters in the names are colored differently. As you take pains to dive through the special letters, a message on the bottom of the screen is formed:
"Secret Message Unlocked"
After this interactive sequence, the credits continue as normal, but a variety of characters appear in the background as names roll down the screen. Large letters appear, one-by-one, alongside these characters. The letters?
"T H I S L E A D S T O K I N G D O M H E A R T S"
THIS LEADS TO KINGDOM HEARTS
The flow of letters halts there, but what happens next? A few more characters cycle through, then three distinct musical notes are heard as the Dream Drop Distance logo appears to end the credits.
If you managed to snag all the letters during the interactive dive sequence, a new Glossary entry is added to Reports. The entry, simple titled "Secret Message", reads:
The past will be reawakened
as a new number
in never-before-seen detail
Prepare yourself for the awakening
of the next number
To me, the meaning of this message is as clear as day. "The past will be reawakened . . . in never-before-seen detail"... HD Collection.
An HD collection that will be used to...
"Prepare yourself for the awakening of the next number"
Kingdom Hearts III.
That's right, folks. Square Enix has confirmed, through the credits of Dream Drop Distance, that Kingdom Hearts III will be the next installment in the series, AND will more than likely be preceded by an HD collection of the entire series. No more spin-offs. No more side stories. Kingdom Hearts III is real, and it's coming.
OMG U GUYS. An HD Kingdom Hearts collection is coming.
Please, please let BBS be in there. I hate playing it on my PSP.

GOOD LORD.
I will be more than 7 years late but I WILL complete KH 2 before both of these are out. Unless they plan on putting the HD Collection out first.
An even bigger question lies tho, Will the Collection be multi-platform? Both main KH entries have been on Playstation and only a few from the entire series have deviated off.

Probably not, since it originated from the PS2 and the only systems outside of Sony's platform and handhelds were Nintendo's handheld, mostly since Nintendo was literally the biggest handheld marketer when they began their multitude of spinoffs and side stories. At least, maybe the Wii U, but I'm doubting the 360...
ok so, i loved Kingdom Hearts 3D (old news probably but whatever), the gameplay was so good, a little hard to control at some points but good nonetheless and the Birth By Sleep battle system is top notch they really need to keep that next time. the story itself was a little...stupid. like after you get through everything and you realize that the whole series is just one interconnected loop of headaches you're just like "what the..." and yeah.
personally, the world selection could've been better, but i just loved the fact that they finally put Hunchback of Notre Dame in a KH game. i wanted it so much.
i heard news that Kingdom Hearts III was the next installment immediately, and they were going to start production as soon as Final Fantasy Versus XIII was done. can anyone like update me if i seem to be missing any info, i'm trying to stay as up to date as i can be.
sure the game may be abit boring at time but IV is no one's trash.
**** YES this is what I've been WAITING FOR!
