4 big Kingdom Hearts 4 details emerge in new interview

digitaltrends.com:

In Kingdom Hearts 4, our Keyblade hero Sora has a brand new look that finally makes him resemble a realistic-looking Final Fantasy character and a swanky new apartment to go with it. It’s an impressive feat for a 15-year-old, assuming he didn’t time skip a few years after leaving Donald Duck, Goofy, and all of his friends at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. According to series creator Tetsuya Nomura, however, Sora’s new makeover and pad may not last as long as we thought it would.

In a recent interview with Famitsu (with translation courtesy of VGC), Nomura divulged some new details about Kingdom Hearts 4, which he suddenly announced at the Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary event in Tokyo last Sunday — and on Palm Sunday, no less. He shares the new world that Sora will be roaming around in for most of the game and demystified any misconceptions fans may have about the world of Quadratum. Here are some important revelations from the interview.

When the trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 dropped, fans were shocked to see that Sora switched over from the Disney animated world to the real world, trading his clown shoes for what looks like Vans and taming his hairdo to make it less spiky. But Nomura says that the realism Quadratum gave Sora and the people living in it is all about perspective. In other words, Quadratum is a version of reality that is completely different than the reality Sora came from and vice versa.

“From Sora’s perspective, Quadratum is an underworld, a fictional world that is different from reality,” Nomura said. “But from the point of view of the inhabitants on the Quadratum side, the world of Quadratum is reality, and the world where Sora and the others were is the other side, the fictional world.”
