Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media, Kingdom Hearts news. Kingdom Hearts discussion, cutscenes, cheats, and more!

Sup guys, turns out more information of the interview has appeared over the internet. I won't put any repeat information unless they've been told in new detail!

1. The only reason why there is a Santa Sora, is because Nomura wanted to try it out, Goofy and Donald have also been given Christmas clothing.
2. The COM battles against the Organization have nothing to do with KH2FM+'s storyline. (In other words non-canon) However they are very very hard to beat.
3. The Roxas boss battle is meant to be very tough, the Duel Bout is a more intensed version of the Samurai's reaction command. The beginning of this battle is suppose to be very grand!
4. There are 2 or more, individual types of mushrooms that will appear in this game, there are numbers on the Org clothed Mushrooms.
5. The reaction commands on re:COM will be more difficult to pull off, then the ones in KHIIFM+
6. It is not at all easy to defeat the mushroom heartless.
7. As for talk about a new difficulty (Which he called serious mode) it hasn't even been touched yet.
8. It is the Chain of Memory Org battles in KHIIFM+ that are stronger then Sephiroth.
9. Because of how mysterious the last scene shown in the Jump Festa Promotional Video was, they decided to take it out.

Page Facelift
All content pages have been given a facelift to fit the style of the site much better than it did before. The new video player that's used to stream cutscenes, boss battles and gameplay videos has also made it much easier for me to keep videos up to date with the use of a new PHP code. Hope you like it!
There's some more information on what is in the Famitsu scan, as well as a full scan that was seen in 4 different parts earlier:
New Scan

KH2:FM

• Xemnas in the Castle (in TWTNW): "Axel shook the mind of Sora."
• Luxord (?): "Axel bets the one that doesn't exist so.... Existence by yourself might be a bet and something to be obtained."
• Saix: "The fellow was weak."
• The character study became more detailed because of the addition of that event, too.
• In Roxas' battle, in some screenshots that's before "Dual Battle", immediately after "Dual Battle", and the one where the technique is being used are actualy two pieces.
• Light is falling from the sky like the arrow. The blog user feels the need to show some manga sweat because the battle looks scary. Also, he/she notes that an HP bar is down to a half. That HP bar isn't too clear as to whose it belongs to.
• Mushroom type heartless that put on the black org. coat. The score and the time are displayed on the left hand side. It is a mystery whether there are 13 org. mushrooms although the length is different.
• Hollow Bastion and Twilight Town have been extended to go the full out in terms of their development (?).

Re:CoM
• The battle between Riku and Zexion come in two parts. Riku vs. Zexion and Riku vs. Zexion's phantoms (or clones, whichever you prefer).
• Zexion: "Ehh.. Meeting? Is it [possible that we] can meet?"
• Zexion: "It is the destiny of the hostility. Certainly with you who is bearing the darkness in your mind."
• In other screenshots...
• Roxas: "The brave man has defeated Vexen but is still being ruled by Namine."
• Zexion: "Do not live because he says [so] and he erases it."
• Only Riku (replica) in Degenki PS is published: "Whether forgetting 'I in reality'"
• Riku (replica): "Namine, the face of whom you want to see the most."
• Marluxia: "Put the betrayer in order."
• Axel: "When Sora disappears, the Organziation's plan is risky."
• Normal display in the upper part of the room creation screen. It seems easy for the person who played CoM first to confirm this attribute. Must make sure of this though and try not to think without being written ahead either.
• The battle is another field (or part).
How does the status on the bonus acquistition screen become an improvement after selecting the bonus status of the present, and the experience value until the raising of the next level is displayed? The bonus of 300 HP in level 1 Sora that can be acquired is the same as in the GBA version?
• The stock technique is alive and well.
• An additional input by the reaction command can be done according to the technique.
• Sonic Grave (?) and Strike Shield are able to be reflected.
• The reaction command, Sonic Grave (?), is confirmed.

Nomura-san Famitsu interview
Note: Some repeated info ahead.
• There are a number of black Organization mushroom type heartless. They have no connection with Organization XIII at all. They are just mimicking them. By the way, Nomura is not good at making the mushroom great.
• Because the voice actors of the Organization XIII in KH2 was considerably good, the voice actors of Organziation XIII of Re:CoM was made to defeat the cast of the KHII VAs.
• It is confirmed that there is a map gimmick such as the guillotine stand that is put in Halloween Town's room in the Jump Festa screenshot of Re:CoM.
• The stock technique of Re:CoM has increased considerably. The reaction command makes timing severe a little so it doesn't become veresatile too much.
• Nomura wants to challenge variety of having two or more projects. Yadda yadda yadda. We know this already.
• Some of the data, that KH2:FM has, influences some parts of Re:CoM. There is a big beginning that's put out thanks to you, fans, but there are not a lot of elements that Re:CoM can give back to KH2:FM.
• There is a scene where the black Org. mushroom form a line (?). Of course, it is necessary to devise a plan to capture it. There is considerable power only because these enemies are the new additions other than the bosses.
• (Been said already too, but ah well.) Roxas gives out a lot of physical strength in attack power with various moves. However his battle is related to the progress of the story, therefore, he isn't as strong as Sephiroth.
• The new character of the new Secret Movie isn't Sora and Roxas. Of course, it isn't possible to say now who it is although this new character relates to a certain person who has shown up recently.
• Zexion attacks by using his arms and copying himself with visions because he has the attribute that is known as "Phantom".
• In addition to the reason why the KH staff left out dodge roll, they noticed that there was a "high demand" for it from you, fans.

The Light in Chaos managed to add a more indepth interview with Nomura, although instead of just restating old points, I'll add all the new and additional ones.

1. The Organization Heartless are unique and are not easy to defeat. (Wow you actually have to fight them unlike the others)
2. The reason why Dodge Roll has been added was because last time it was not really needed in the game. However, when they decided to add a new form, they gave it the Dodge Roll technique.
3. The mushrooms are a unique enemy and like all the others seek entertainment. Apparently, this time, entertainment in beating you down.
4. The organization members that you fight in a certain area (Possibly the coliseum) will be set to be stronger than Sephiroth.
5. Due to the chance of increased confusion in the last scene in the Jump Festa, trailer he might take it out of the game.
6. Zexion's real weapon was not revealed in the scan or trailer, but will be revealed in a scene in the game.
