Though the trailer was the highlight of ''Kingdom Hearts''' presence at E3, the merchandise announcements were plentiful the following day. A [[Wayfinder]] pendant, a memorial Ultimania for the entire series, new [[Play Arts Figures]], and a soundtrack for the first remaster, ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' were all announced. Several bundles were announced for the Japanese release of ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'', in which the game will be available with the Ultimania, with ''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX'', with the soundtracks, and with several other combinations.

Later that same day, at 3:30 PDT, Tai Yasue, Co-Director of ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'', held an interview as part of  a series of panels named ''Square Enix Presents''. In this interview, Mr. Yasue confirmed that the game was nearing completion and, despite it being a long-hoped-for addition to ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', there would be no multiplayer capabilities as part of the remaster. He also stated that the cutscenes for ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' had been extended to three hours, and two of those hours would be completely new.

Finally, Tai Yasue stated that they were considering releasing both ''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX'' and ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'' onto next-generation platforms, though nothing was confirmed. Still, this is a welcome sign of hope for those hoping to see the older games on PlayStation 4 or XBOX One one day!

For me, the secret ending's main weakness is the fact that it consists entirely of dialogue. Although this helps build the tension for the revelation at the end, it makes Another Guardian of Light pale in comparison to the pizazz of previous secret endings, such as [[The Gathering|<font color=FCFF33>The Gathering</font>]].
