Fans have been waiting for Kingdom Hearts III for a very long time, and over the last year or so, a 2018 release date has been a shining beacon of hope.

Uh huh
When are we realistically expecting Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III to launch? We mean like, realistically.

Or Kingdom Hearts III
It's time to drag those dreams into reality: Final Fantasy VII Remake probably isn't launching this year.
