Kingdom Hearts 3 to Include a Story Recap

Though Just an Outline of the Story so Far, It’s Going to Be a Few Hours Long

Rejoice, those of you who haven’t dedicated half of your life to the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Tetsuya Nomura, Director for Kingdom Hearts 3, confirmed that there will be a series of videos posted online that explains Kingdom Hearts’ story so far.

Whenever a new Kingdom Hearts game is coming out, I always ask people who haven’t played it why they’ve never dipped their toes into the Final Fantasy/Disney extravaganza, and they always give me the same answer: ‘I haven’t played the others.’

Whilst that’s an incredibly understandable reason, with the original game clocking in at just under thirty hours for a regular play-through, it shouldn’t be a problem any more, thanks to the recent announcement that we’ll be getting a story recap Kingdom Hearts 3.

This comes from the mouth of the Game Director for Kingdom Hearts 3, Tetsuya Nomura. It seems he may finally be aware of the gargantuan story they’ve created throughout the years, and wants to make an easier way for newer players to join along.

A tweet from Twitter user DKHF tells us that the recap will be broken into 5 videos/episodes, and could very well be released online (in Japan) sometime this month!

If anyone out there really wants to pick up Kingdom Hearts 3 after the E3 trailer, and didn’t dedicate their entire childhood to this series like I did, then this should pave the way for you to understand just why Mickey Mouse is duking it out with Final Fantasy’s Sephiroth.
