Some excerpts.

"To make the game's secret boss, they had debuggers test the boss fight. If the debuggers found a way to defeat the boss, they made adjustments to remove the method. This is why the boss is so strong. Nomura admits that even he can't defeat the boss."

"We were thinking about putting in other FF characters, but we ended up putting them in another project. This is a title that has yet to be announced, so I can't say who it is."

We won't take up KH3 until we've reached a certain target with FF Versus XIII. However, production has already started on the next entry in the series. As a plan, there's one title that we believe we can release this year. Also, we'd like to release one more next year or beyond. I believe this will have multiple main characters." Nomura also gave somewhat of a hint about Kingdom Hearts 3 here, stating "By the way, the scene where XX leaves off on a journey at the end of Blank Point is set to connect to KH3." Those who've played through Birth by Sleep presumably know what he's talking about.

"Amongst the fans, it seems that there are some who expect KH3 to be the end of the series. However, including KH3, the KH series that we're building up now is being made with the idea of it being part one of a larger series. It's somewhat like, Sora is the main character of KH, but presently, for part 1, we're building up the Xehanort Volume. Since KH1, the enemy has always been Xehanort, hasn't it?" Does this mean that KH3 will be the finale for the Xehanort volume? Responded Nomura, "That's what we're thinking. However, even if the Xehanort volume ends, there's still the possibility that a new adventure will begin for Sora."

A new adventure eh? I'd still like a playable scenario for Xehanort himself though. That would be nice. As for FF, we definitely need the old timers. Kaihedgie 22:13, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
