More From Nomura In Dengeki
TheWertle translated yet more of the stuff in Dengeki PS Magazine (shown on FF13Vids). I’ll put a summary here of the most important points from this and other interviews:
- Nomura has stated in the past that the “New Project” MAY be a “Non-game project” and that it WILL NOT have “Kingdom Hearts” in the title.
- Nomura has now stated that this project may be an interesting side-story focusing on characters other than Sora, although Sora still has a big role.
- He should be explaining “Birth By Sleep” a bit more, what Mickey did in the World of Darkness, and how Mickey got his Keyblade.
- He’ll want to work on developing Roxas the most. He thinks it’s interesting that his birth and disappearance have both been drawn within a year.
- He wants to make this “New Project” slightly different from the Kingdom Hearts series including slight changes in the system.
- The armoured figures in the “Birth By Sleep” video are connected to Xemnas/Xehanort. There may be elaboration on this.
- Nomura has previously confirmed that after the Final Fantasy XIII games, he will be concentrating on the story of Kingdom Hearts.
- Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ was confirmed to be Nomura’s final PlayStation 2 game, and therefore any future Kingdom Hearts games will only be on PlayStation 3 or possibly other gaming systems.
- The “New Project” should be announced soon, although Nomura wants to keep the title a secret for awhile and tell us at just the right time.
- Multi-developing makes Nomura want to put the “New Project” on another system. If he does, he wants to decide whether to make it for PSP, Nintendo DS or mobile phones.
- Square-Enix are currently working on three projects in total. One of them is confirmed to be Final Fantasy Versus XIII, but it’s unknown what the other two are. They’re unrelated to eachother though.
- Yoko Shimomura will be attending the Square-Enix Party 2007. She’s looking forward to meeting people and asks everyone to wait patiently.

Mickey just got there. Don’t you see his expression? He’s about to kick some ass… Or not.

I was just thinking, but you know how Ven looks alot like Roxas and remember how in kh2 in one of the parts when Roxas met with Namine and she asked him “Do you remember your true name?” I think that maybe Roxas’s true name is Ven and Ven isn’t some Sora/Roxas look alike maybe it really is Roxas. but i was just thinking and it is possible. right????

Roxas’s true name is Sora. Naminé’s true name is Kairi. It can’t be that Roxas is Ven because it’s established that Roxas is Sora. (I think that Ven looks like the lovechild of Roxas and Cloud, myself, and I’m not going to go into the details of that. O,o)
The Old Man wants to kill Ven because he’s the enemy. So is Terra. So is Aqua. He wants them all dead and out of his way so he can do whatever. Simple as that. (And really, the practical reason that Ven looks like Roxas is because Ven is tied to wind, and Roxas is tied to Sora who is tied to Sky. Not to mention that each of them have hair corresponding to their element; blonde/yellow for wind (green would be the only really applicable color), blue for water, and brown for earth.)
Yeah, Mickey seems to have just gotten there. Too little too late, though, I’m afraid…Ven was already down, and Aqua seemed to have used up a lot of her MP in that fight (look at how she’s panting after casting that Reflega. Granted, she just took a nasty fall, but she looks really worn out, and all she’s done is cast magic.)

interesting…hey dose anyone know why Terra’s eyes turned somewhat golden towards the end, the looked a lot like xehanort’s

If Terra represents Twilight, it could be him opening his heart to more Darkness as he tries to gain more strength.
…Has anyone given thought to the idea that Light, Twilight, Darkness and Dawn aren’t set paths, but instead a cycle? Riku fell into Twilight when he opened himself to Darkness, and is slowly recovering himself on the path of Dawn. Eventually, he will return to Light…but what about the others?
Is it possible that these things shift over time? A constant cycle? Periods of Darkness, periods of Light, and intermittent times between where it transitions?
Sorry, just me putting ideas out there.
