KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days: Nomura Answers Questions from NA Fans

Mike · Apr 12, 2010

Hey everyone,

Nomura has recently answered questions from members, which were asked during the release of KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days. The questions that were answered from Nomura himself can be found at the membership website for Square-Enix fans/members.

Q. What was the most challenging part of using the Nintendo DS hardware while trying to stay close to the traditional feel of the battle sequences in the traditional KINGDOM HEARTS series on the PlayStation 2? (XxAcGXx)

Nomura: The hardest thing we had to overcome was recreating the fully 3D controls from previous KINGDOM HEARTS titles given the restrictions placed on us by the hardware specs of the DS. Other challenges included incorporating features that took advantage of the DS's unique capabilities, such as a leveling up system that utilizes the tactility of the touch screen, and hassle-free wireless play.

Q. What made you decide to include some of the new functions like the panel system? (dragonboy)

Nomura: Like I said before, the DS hardware allows us to play with the idea of tactile feedback thanks to its touch screen, so we decided to add a system in which players fill in panels by trial and error to customize their character's abilities.

He doesn't just listen. He responds! Anyway I think its awesome that a guy who's so famous and probably already working towards a KH3 would take the time to answer foreign (to him) people's questions about the game. This is why he is one of the best people that I know of IMO.
