To Osment, it's an element of the series that's always been prominent, even near the very beginning of when it all began to unravel. In the almost years since its debut, Kingdom Hearts has cultivated a fandom unlike most. For as long as I can remember on the internet, Kingdom Hearts-centered fan communities have persisted; enlivened by fanfiction and any information on Kingdom Hearts 3 , by memories of grinding for the Ultima keyblade and gearing up for the secret bosses of Sephiroth.
It's a community that's not only passionate, but is alive and well, never faltering—even with long gaps between mainline releases and its side releases.
The most recent, if it's to be counted, is Kingdom Hearts 0. Kingdom Hearts 3 may arrive just two years after that chapter, but it's also a solid seven years since the last major title: the Nintendo 3DS game Dream Drop Distance.
Long before that Kingdom Hearts 2, the last numbered entry, released back in While still spinoffs, Kingdom Hearts differentiates itself from most games with many, many different non-numbered entries: everything's canon, so everything is pretty much essential.
That's daunting for any player. I wish I could, but they're too, they're too much fun now, and it requires a lot of hours of your time," says Osment with a laugh.
Though, he tells me, he did find some free time due to a bout of the flu over the summer where he played through a Legend of Zelda game on the Nintendo 64, but he didn't specify which one. My guess is the obvious: Ocarina of Time. So we piece it together as we go along, but the directors that are always there with me leading the vocal sessions are really excellent and we always know at least in every scene what the beats are, what the emotions are, and what's come before there.
And we're always on the phone simultaneously with Japan so that the entire creative team is advising us on decisions and everything. Looking back on his time with the Kingdom Hearts series, one specific memory rises above his late high school-era recordings for Kingdom Hearts 2.
It's a memory that doesn't sound like a complete surprise when considering Osment's admiration for improv—because it's the most improv-friendly thing a strictly-animated video game can muster. That is, recording the game's action sounds.
But the first time we did that, back in like , that was like the culminating session for that and they had all the producers and [director Tetsuya] Nomura-san was there. And that was a pretty memorable session, the first time I was like doing this action thing in the studio. And there's so much. It feels like dozens, if not hundreds of different sounds for each of the things that you have to hit. But I've been an action movie and video game fan for most of my life so it's the 9-year-old in you.
It's not difficult for that to come out when it's time to fill in those actions sounds. While Kingdom Hearts 3 is perceived to be the end, at least of the Xehanort Saga as Nomura describes it , it is an end of sorts to at least the Kingdom Hearts that we know and love. Ever since the end teaser for Kingdom Hearts 2, despite the finality of its first ending, fans have been clamoring for whatever Kingdom Hearts 3 would eventually bring.
