By Pia Z.

"Kingdom Hearts 3" or "KH 3" is undeniably one of the most anticipated games for 2017. Fans and loyal players of Square Enix's popular franchise are very excited to see the game's protagonist, Sora, set out for all new adventures in another world or setting.

Although "Kingdom Hearts 3" release date remains to be announced, game series director, Tetsuyu Nomura, is very open to interviews to give the players an update every now and then. According to Gaming Bolt, Tetsuyu Nomura recently talked about the game's protagonist, Sora, revealing that in a general sense, the game's hero is just a normal boy. "I say that "Sora is a normal boy," but there are surely people who feel uneasy about that statement," Nomura said. While Sora may seem and look a like a normal boy on the outside, his ability and special skills make him an extraordinary boy with extraordinary powers.

"By putting it simply, surely everyone lives while feeling the emotions in someone else's heart, and they should all be on their own adventure. With that in mind, Sora is just like any other boy," Nomura added. Will there be a twist in Sora's fate and his existing abilities in "Kingdom Hearts 3?" Is Nomura hinting at something new in the game?

With regards to "Kingdom Hearts 3" release date, Tetsuyu Nomura remains coy about the details, simply saying that the game development is already underway. It also seems like the game developers are in no rush to finish "KH 3" as Nomura said that they are making sure that their pace will not compromise the quality of the game.

Meanwhile, Polygon reports that Square Enix release a teaser for "Kingdom Hearts 3" via Twitter. However, a lot of fans were disappointed with the said teaser because it only revealed very little details about the upcoming game. Further, the said "KH 3" teaser was tagged primarily as a tribute to "Final Fantasy 7," which celebrated its 20^th year anniversary last Jan. 31, 2017.
