Nomura: The Gummi Ship Will Return in Kingdom Hearts 3

Details

This afternoon Gameinformer spoke with Tetsuya Nomura, Series Director of Kingdom Hearts, about whether or not the Gummi Ship will return in Kingdom Hearts 3:

“In terms of the Gummi Ship making its return, I can confirm on that, but how it is or what has become of it, we’re not able to reveal it at this point,” Nomura said. “We ask you to stay tuned for more information.”

The ship, which has only been featured in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2, made a very brief reappearance at the end of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue as Sora captained it towards Olympus Coliseum.

“The staff members on our development team always want to try something new, so even with previously introduced mechanics, they always try to make it their own or tweak it. Even if it is small or minor, we customize it so that it’s for Kingdom Hearts III.”

Square Enix unveiled a world based on Pixar's Toy Story for Kingdom Hearts 3 earlier today. The Gummi Ship was not shown off, but after viewing the mechanics for fighting using the Gigas, it seems that any changes to the Gummi Ship mini-games will be refeshing.

Oh god, please tell me this means missions. KH2's Gummi Missions were fanfuckingtastic and I really want that to return in KH3. Dropping in KH3D was fun as fuck, but it felt much more like KH1 Gummi traveling and thus was still inferior to KH2's.

But I'll be happy with some form of traveling gameplay, seeing as how only 3/4 main games have actually had it, therefore there is still that 1/4 of a chance that the Gummi Ship is just there for decoration like Keyblade Riding.

I was always hoping KH3 would have an off rails space like area to explore and travel through to get to different worlds. The KH2 Gummi ship missions were a huge step in the right direction! I will continue to dream until something is revealed.

I'm curious to see how the Gummi ship works in KH3. The way that Sora and the gang entered Andy's room was different from the usual teleportation.

I like the Gummi Ship missions in both KH1 and KH2 so I'd like a nice hybrid or expansion of those. I enjoy the immersive feeling of battling through the space between worlds.

That was expected, can't be a numbered title without it.

Please. ;A; Not everybody is good at flying things.

I would rather be rewarded in-game for playing Gummi Ship missions rather than get trophies for it.

Question: rewards that matters for other Gummi missions or for Sora's main journey?
For example, should we get a Keyblade for completing all Gummi missions, kinda like Divewing?

Open-world Gummi Ship flying would be a pretty interesting take, but I think it would be too massive of an idea. Maybe divide the open-world for every three worlds?

After seeing the night sky at the Mysterious Tower, I'm sure most would agree open world Gummi Ship segments would be verrrry intriguing ;)

The Gummiship in KH1 was frustrating. And I hate the Gummission.

I can't take the PS4 Platinum just for them.

Anyone shoot down the Gummishi* !!

Joking,
anyway, I would have prefer a mode fast or atleast fun to changing World....

Wait, what if by "open-world", you could for a brief moment traverse through space in the Gummi Ship, and as you approach the world, you can travel through the sky of the world destroying enemy ships, and you can select to "drop" from some pre-determined locations?

I hope it's mostly like it worked in KH2. That was fun. I prefer it to Dive from 3D.

Glad to hear that. With all the improvements to the worlds, I'm hoping flying the gummi ship will be much more advanced.

Imagine, you have to actually pick a star than fly to it to find a new world all the while enemy heartless ships attack you along the way.

Open world galaxy would be awesome! Or at least some exploration. I feel like they can do a lot now with the gummi ship than in previous games. Really make it interesting rather than just transporting from point A to B.

Open-world reminds me of World of Final Fantasy airship travels. The only thing I wonder about is how warping would work.
