Square Enix's September 26th livestream for Tokyo Game Show online revealed that an actual chess set based on the one Young Xehanort and Eraqus were using is being made.And then there's whatever in the world the "Yozora" ending teaser implies. In a way only this series can, the defictionalization actually turns in on itself, in a meta way rarely seen: Not only is Yozora a stealth reference to the original Final Fantasy Versus XIII, he's an actual Game Within a Game character in the Toy Box.Each figure in the Trading Arts series costs about $30 to $40 USD, while the Play Arts series (meant more for hobby and collection) are over $100 USD at the known minimum. There are also figures for Final Fantasy XV, which Verum Rex is an expy of. The Dissidia Final Fantasy NT toyline in the Toy Story world is based on the figures made for the game.The announcement of Sora and company turning into action figures while visiting the world of Toy Story was made all the sweeter with the announcement of real life action figures.Cross-Dressing Voices: Lumpy is voiced by Amelia Stanger, the sister of his original actor from Pooh's Heffalump Movie and My Friends Tigger & Pooh, Kyle Stanger.After Kingdom Hearts II, Nomura flat out told Disney that he wanted to include Pixar properties ( Toy Story especially) or he wouldn't make Kingdom Hearts III, and even then, it initially took Pixar several years to get back to him with confirmation, let alone OK the designs and stories of the respective worlds.Because of this, it took over a year for Nomura to get full story approval from Disney. Nomura has stated that it was difficult to develop the worlds based on Pixar films and the more recent Disney films because the creative staffs on those movies all wanted to be involved in the writing process.In the Ultimania interview, Nomura admitted that the production staff for the game was angry with him due to the lack of Final Fantasy characters.Whether or not this will impact Kingdom Hearts in the future remains to be seen. An interview with Nomura revealed that due to the leak fiasco, it's soured his mood on worldwide physical releases, with no mention on digital releases.Nomura and other staff members regretted announcing the game at E3 2013, claiming it was too early in development for such an announcement, but they wanted to Throw the Dog a Bone and at least announce the title, even though it was still years away.These names appear when Ephemer and the ancient Keyblade wielders help Sora fight one of the bosses in the Keyblade Graveyard, a la NieR Automata. Contest Winner Cameo: In April 2018, Square Enix held a contest for players of Kingdom Hearts Union χ, where three hundred lucky players would have their characters' names included in Kingdom Hearts III in some capacity.This changed over the next few weeks as more people got a hold of early copies, most spoilers at best being gameplay until a week before release, in which spoilers went all out. Though perhaps either because only a few individuals got the copies and/or out of respect for those that wished to remain spoiler-free, most of the game wasn't spoiled. Content Leak: Copies of Kingdom Hearts III except (according to Nomura) the secret ending and the epilogue were released over a month before the official launch date.The reason for this is that, while Nomura intended for his original team to be involved in III, some members were either not working at Square Enix anymore, transferred to other parts of Square, or working on other games with Tokyo Team, the original team from both I and II either wasn't the same, or the ones who were still at that department were too busy to make III. B-Team Sequel: This game was developed by the Osaka Team, who were responsible for the non-numbered 3D titles starting with Re:Chain of Memories in 2007, instead of the Tokyo Team who were on board for Kingdom Hearts I and II.The creators of Tangled, Frozen, and Big Hero 6 have also voiced excitement for their films' inclusions in the game.
