We know for a fact that Kingdom Hearts III is still in development. That much is true. What I meant was that for Bill Farmer to be right, Square Enix would have to have been lying over the last year and a half as to where Kingdom Hearts III would be in the development stage; in other words, Kingdom Hearts III would have to be farther in development than they've been leading us to believe. The problem with this argument is that Square Enix has no reason to lie about the game's development status. I mean, they want people to save up money to buy the game; it'd be inconvenient for them to spring the game out all of a sudden like this. Even so, it doesn't rule out that Kingdom Hearts III could be announced for 2015.

As for the voice actor not knowing what they're recording for, that's true for all voice actors, and here's why: Square Enix, and other companies, make them sign contracts saying they can't talk about what they're recording for. They know that voice actors like Bill Farmer are more likely to be pressed by fans about their roles in any upcoming games, and these companies would rather have control over when they release information. I don't know if you recall, but two years ago during the development of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, Jesse McCartney, voice actor for Roxas, posted on Twitter that he had been recording the next chapter of Kingdom Hearts. At the time, however, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX had been announced purely for Japan; there were no official announcement for a release to the United States and the West, yet. Square Enix had the Tweets taken down, and announced the game's release to the West a month later. For Jesse McCartney, however, he had to see videos of the game to know how to voice Roxas, and he somehow was able to record that. That isn't necessarily true for other works, even for other Kingdom Hearts games, at least that's what's been mentioned. The best example is Bejamin Diskin, how voices the younger Master Xehanort. He expressed to Kingdom Hearts Insider that he believed he was recording for Kingdom Hearts III until he got to the recording studio. The reality is that they keep voice actors in the black for their own safety. If it weren't for that, fans would always be bugging Bill Farmer, Bret Iwan, Haley Joel Osment, and all the other voice actors for information.
