A petition has begun on Change.org to motivate Square Enix to bring Kingdom Hearts 3 to the Wii U. It appears to be aimed towards Senior PR Manager of Square Enix David Yang.
“Kingdom Hearts 3 needs to come to the Wii U. Not only because it would be a good fit and get the Wii U more sales, but because I don’t feel like dropping nearly $400-$500 to get a console that will be getting the game.”
Despite needing 100 signatures, the petition is currently stuck on 50 signatures overall. What a change 100 signatures will make.
On the flip side, series producer Yoshinori Kitase has talked to Digital Spy about whether elements and mechanics from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII would be seen in Final Fantasy 15. “The next Final Fantasy game in the series, XV, was announced last year, so you’ve heard about that. That’s actually been developed by a different team to our one here, myself and Abe-san here, who made Lightning Returns. They’re probably going to be doing something quite different and using completely different systems in their game.
“From our point of view, the team we’re involved with, for our next game – it’s quite difficult to say really but no, we’re probably going to be doing something quite a bit different. Maybe some influences somewhere but I don’t think we’ll be using exactly the same systems and the ideas in the same way.”
We know that FF15 will have it’s own unique battle system and share some mythological links to FFXIII. Both Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 will release for the Xbox One and PS4 in the coming years.
