Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 3 - News, Images, Videos

A new Weekly Famitsu issue has been released featuring Sora on the cover as well as a new Tetsuya Nomura interview!

Tomogirl from Gamefaqs Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep message board has kindly translated the interview:

- First design of Sora was him being like a lion with a tail. (You know... "that artwork".) The reason for this is because Nomura wanted to design him as close to a Disney character as possible.

- The chainsaw was the first idea for a weapon before a keyblade.

- In the middle of working on "FFVIII", because there was a character in "FFIX", that had a tail, the tail was dropped from Sora's design.

- Then, when it came to the time of exchanging opinions with the staff on the Disney side, Nomura added corrections to Sora such as the shoes and pants. Where should the straight lines and the curves be. Then, it took him all night to put in the finishing touches to get the Sora, we know today.

- Nomura believes that the re-appearance of Sora, in the BbS Secret Movie, is highly anticipated. He says that, from now on, we should look forward to Sora's activities in the future.

- Nomura says that it's not possible to declare what that future work will be (for now).

- Nomura wants us to wait for that future development, because he thinks this (Birth By Sleep) is proof that the same KH Osaka team, who is currently working on "FFVersusXIII", has the same ability (/quality) to put it into the next KH game.

- Nomura wants all the fans, and everyone else to know, who are still demanding for a "III", that it'll be implemented as soon as possible.

What kind of existence is the Keyblade? I think the mysteries involving that part are rapidly deepening!
