―Is there a connection in 358/2 Days between Birth by Sleep and Coded? [b]Nomura:[/b] At the moment Coded does not have any connections with 358/2 Days, but Birth by Sleep is deeply linked. Birth by Sleep has connections to all the games in the series.
―As for Coded, Chapter 2 will be distributing.
[b]Nomura:[/b] From Chapter 2, the story becomes progressively longer. The story of Chapter 1 had the nuance of a tutorial, but from Chapter 2 item synthesizing increases, and after a stage is cleared, other side quests become available. Since linkage with Avatar Kingdom also becomes full-scale, please look forward to it.
―How is the development status of Birth by Sleep?
[b]Nomura:[/b] It’s doing alright. You could say it’s becoming a confident title. I’ve kept you waiting, but I think some new information will be sent out during summer. Since the plan is to present a trailer showing off the game’s fighting spirit at Tokyo Game Show, look forward to it.

FF7AC reunion have obtained a copy of the book, and have posted an extract of the interview on their website, in Japanese. HEARTSTATION.ORG have translated this extract into English, and thanks to them, you can read it below.
“We initially proposed 3 separate titles.” “Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep from within the company, 358/2 Days from Nintendo, and Coded from Disney.”
“I wrote the lines of 358/2 Days myself. Since it was troublesome when I worked at it, once it was finished I thought ‘I don’t want to do it anymore.’”
“Kanemaki-san thought up Xion’s name.”
“The meaning of 358/2 Days refers to the passing of 358 days of 2 people. I wanted people to imagine it’s meaning in various ways.”
“Does KH3 come from those surroundings? Right now I’m busy with Birth by Sleep and FF13: Versus, let’s think about the future plans of Kingdom Hearts slowly.”
“But the next Kingdom Hearts is not restricted to Kingdom Hearts 3. However it won’t be a side story, but an authentic addition.”
“Separate from that, I’m thinking on the things of Kingdom Hearts 3.”
