    Hey guys ever since KH2FM+ it seems interviews have been coming left and right, however this time it's from a magazine! Here we go!

    Nomura Interview

    - A Part of the latest secret movie is related to the new series.

    - You will have EXP 0 at the beginning of Critical Mode, it's for those that might find Critical Mode too easy. It will be seriously bad for you though if yo accidentally equip it.

    - At the top of Pridelands there use to be exactly 144 heartless there, however this time they have become one body. (Eh? Well so much for you EXP Hoggers)

    - Making the E.S an Optional Boss Fight was a staff member's Idea.

    - As for the battle against the XIIIth Order they have changed alot.

    - At a new scene, when Zexion is walking, he suddenly stops as though he's thinking of something. It's up to the player to think of why Zexion stopped.

    - The XIII Mushroom was an idea from the staff ever since Kingdom Hearts II Was developed. Though back then it was too big to put into the game, therefore it was added as a Sidequest for this one.

    - For the Roxas battle and new element. At first Nomura WAS going to put the Roxas fight in Kingdom Hearts II but due to the time consumption in the end he took the fight out. He also wanted to add an additional bit to that event, and a new form. He was thinking about the abilities that could reside around Kingdom Hearts I.

    - The Music of the battle against Roxas after the battle, was meant to value the event completly. When Nomura did the battle against Roxas, he wanted to convince the people about how emotional the battle was, therefore created an event after the battle. The battle music he saw as "Different" for when he had Sora face up against Roxas.

    - There are some changes in the game the staff made that even "I" don't know about. (That's what I call putting trust in staff members)

    - re:COM was made more from a less justifying view first. It seemed as Nomura wanted to make the camera like Kingdom Hearts, but it would be hard for the team to fully do this, so he changed it around.

    - The team also did a couple of changes for the Last Boss against Sora. I took charge for this battle. It seemed to be *** of **** of Sora. (Yes the *** were censored in the magazine)

    - All he can say is that it has to do with Marluxia and it is a very very painful attack.

    - The New series is not Kingdom Hearts III (Nomura wants to make sure you remember that.)

    Interview with Shimomura
    - For re:COM she and the team worked day in, and day out, though this was only for the battle music. She wanted to have different feelings such as "Happy Battle" "Sad Battle" and a "Terrible Music". There also something about a "Third Form" added to the Last boss. (Confused me there slightly)

    - Yoko Shimomura put ALL her work and effort in the Roxas battle music. He was pushed to his limit. The battle is meant to be very very emotional. Nomura believed Shimomura already met the standards, but Shimomura wanted to push herself further.

    Extra

    There are two versions of the XIII Organization fights. The first one is scattered throughout the Worlds, and Nomura stated no one at all should have any trouble with these. However for the re-fights in the new area. They will have to at least be level 99 if they want to stand a chance.

      Although, if you want, you could just clear all worlds in critical mode. But because you wanna do this in standard/proud, I am assuming you think critical would be to hard for you?


      I mean, you even get "Mp Haste" as soon as you start the game in critical! Just equip that (be careful, don't equip "Exp 0"), and use cure when needed.

      No. There is always a small chance that it may happen, but it's highly doubtful.

      The reasons have been stated before.

      Not selling good, Nomura with no intentions/plans, etc.

      By not selling good, I mean because it's a remake. Someone had a nice article on why it wouldn't work in America.

      Juro
      Name

      since we all know that the next Kingdom Hearts will not be named Kingdom Hearts 3, I think it's safe to assume it'd be something like

      • Kingdom Hearts: Chasers
      • Kingdom Hearts: Chaser War
      • Kingdom Hearts: Genesis of The Keyblade (KH: GoTK)
      • Just a few ideas

      I have to disagree with you, because it was clearly stated that out've the 300,000 Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+s sold the majority were American and Europeans. So if that was the result in Japan alone, what makes you think that in America, where the most sells of Kingdom Hearts 2 were wouldn't make any? I mean it's not just a remake of Kingdom Hearst 2, it's also a remake of Chain of Memories. So it's two games in one. Believe me, if it is released then Nomura made a good decision.

      i'm glad someone else was thinking the same as me, because i saw a few people kinda spazzing out because the next one wont be kh3. i figured they'd do something similar to CoM and maybe release the next in the series on DS maybe. and hell, the secret ending might not have anything to do with the next game, since the secret ending in kh1 directly related to a scene in kh2, so it might just have to do with kh3 and yeah i'm going to stop babbling now 8Dv

      Geez.

      There was a very good article on why it wouldn't be released and how it wouldn't sell to well because it's a remake.

      Not only that, but if you're still persistent, Nomura said he has no intention/plans of releasing it here.

      Only extreme fans will buy it in America, along with some little kids. That's it. Everyone else would leave it. There's hardly any profit.

      I am not arguing, it's over.

      On topic:

      About it not being Kingdom Hearts III, I just hope it's still a good game, we still have the old characters, and it's not on the Wii/Ps3/Psp.

      ^_^

      And maybe the return of good old Axel. O_~

      It most definitely shows that she put 110% into the scene with Roxas. It was amazingly executed.
      Not KH: III eh? When I first learned that the main characters might not be in it, I was a bit upset, But now I see this could become something even better!
