According to those who attended the Kingdom Hearts Second Breath concert in Tokyo last night, series creator Tetsuya Nomura appeared on stage and mentioned that something happened after the 20th-anniversary event that "determined the direction" of the series.Last night in Tokyo, the final showings for the Kingdom Hearts Second Breath took place, giving fans of the series who were lucky enough to get tickets one last chance to hear orchestrated music from games live, including a listen to a song from Kingdom Hearts 4, Reality in the Dark. It also featured a conversation between Tetsuya Nomura and Yoko Shimomura that has got fans talking.According to Twitter user aibo_ac7, Tetsuya Nomura appeared on stage after the Second Breath concert and mentioned to one of the series' main composers, Yoko Shimomura, that something had happened after the 20th-anniversary event that "determined the direction" of the whole series, although he didn't go into further detail on what that meant.
Shimomura reportedly then seemed quite surprised at what Nomura had said, asking what had happened and if everything was okay now. Nomura then said he'd explain behind the scenes when the concert was over, leaving every Kingdom Hearts fan on the edge of their seats as we try and figure out what could have possibly happened.
It seems that whatever happened might not have been a good thing, however, as aibo_ac7 pointed out that their expressions indicated that something "terrible" had seemingly happened, while also noting that they seemed okay at the time. A comment underneath a video from The Gamers Joint about the incident coming from someone who was there pointed out that Nomura actually seemed quite happy when talking about the incident. With a few different interpretations of what was said and the tone, we'll have to wait and see what ends up happening.
Although most Kingdom Hearts fans are likely feeling pretty nervous about the series right now, it's worth noting that Missing Link seems to have had some good progress made on its development, so it's not something that's negatively impacting the whole series. Let's try and think positively and hope that a High School Musical world for Kingdom Hearts 4 has just started development.
