In a way it's not all that surprising, but 3D was always the game that's supposed to lead up to KH III, so many might have imagined Nomura wouldn't drag it further.
In the last issue of Famitsu, Nomura had this to say about the next title in the franchise
It apparantly might have to do with an iSO game that Nomura mentioned in the June issue of GameInformer. (Not that I was aware)Originally Posted by http://www.khinsider.com/
Of course it's not a certainty, but it definitely sounds like we can expect yet another game that isn't KHIII. I hope it's still something good, but I've experienced good titles that made sense in the whole picture so far, so I'm not bothered, even though I did lean towards the next title maybe being KHIII.
The bothersome part is the iOS thing... And is it a story-related game or more something like KH Mobile? He say "lightweighted" after all. Interesting o.o
