KH Union 162: The Episode BEFORE Kingdom Hearts 3 Releases Jan 15, 2019

Show notes

Kingdom Hearts 3 is so close now, we can almost touch it and that's why we've got a super long episode as a precursor to the biggest release in the franchise's history!

Even though we're so close though, there's still plenty of room for speculation around what we will see within the final product. But before any of that happens, there's also talk about how Nomura has decided to fight back against those who are trying to play leaked copies of the game... what exactly that means for in the wider context!

It makes for an action-packed episode... and we hope it helps to tide you over until the release of Kingdom Hearts 3!

Show notes

Happy New Year everyone! To kick things off, we thought it would be rather interesting to dive into the mystery that is... Hiroyuki Ito!

In the earlier days of the franchise, Hiroyuki Ito was one of the stars of the company, having a prominent hand in the majority of Final Fantasy games that released. However, in recent years, Ito has been missing from the limelight. But why?

We run-through everything this legendary game designer has done for the franchise, before speculating around what he's actually up to and why.
