The next issue of Famitsu Weekly will include an interview with the director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. Here, Nomura gives details for the upcoming releases of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. In particular, Nomura lists how Final Mix differs from the original, and discusses the secret movies of both games. Lastly, Nomura makes mention of Kingdom Hearts 3D. Thanks to HEARTSTATION.ORG, a summary of the interview can be read below.
- Besides, compared to the Final Mixes up until now, there aren’t as many added elements so a number of additional bosses were added.
- The armored character from the end of the Tokyo Game Show trailer can be fought in the Mirage Arena. What his existence is, if you saw his name it’d be easy to understand. He’s even stronger than the man in the Organization coat.
- You can fight the armored character, though it’s very difficult. When Director Nomura played against it, he lost every time.
- It can be challenged playing one-player, but its strength is even greater than the man in the Organization coat. During development, it was called the strongest enemy of all the additional bosses.
- Among other additions, they include the choice to play on the most difficult Critical Mode, Megaflare is weakened, and the facial models of young Sora, Riku, and Kairi have been upgraded to higher quality models.
- Also the Secret Episode was added. As for the additional Secret movie, it’s still secret. The contents are being prepared. The requirements to see the new Secret movie are simple.
- At first we were thinking that the path crossing system areas would pile up to 100 levels, but now it seems something good happens when 100 levels are cleared.
- There are 800 Avatar Kingdom parts, including rare items and items that can be redistributed in the path crossing areas.
- The synthesis system has been made easier to understand and a help menu was added.
- You need to acquire 20 trophies in order to see the Secret addition. It seems the secret scene will be a short cutscene, but the conversation is very important.
- The next title is Kingdom Hearts 3D. The story takes place after Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded. Now that Re:Coded is over the Osaka team is meeting up and beginning development.
