The new interview with Nomura from last week’s Famitsu has been completely translated and released online!
The interview is very mysterious, suggesting that the new project(s) that are going to be announced next year are more than we could have ever imagined!
Thanks to Dengeki Online and Famitsu Weekly, the release date and price of Kingdom Hearts 2 – Final Mix+ has been officially announced!
Date: March 29, 2007
Price: 7980 Yen ($67 US)
Also, a new article from Famitsu has revealed that the Kingdom Hearts series has sold approximately 10 million units – these numbers have been calculated from the sales of the current three installments of the game.
Well, finally the scans from the recent Nomura interview have turned up – great work to the scannee! These high quality pics reveal some new areas and scenes not seen in previous scans.
For those not in the know, this is the Nomura interview that we have posted information from over the past week. Most of the stuff in here was new as of Jump Festa, so enjoy!

Once again, more info from the recent Tetsuya Nomura interview with Famitsu regarding the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 2 – Final Mix+.
Also, sadly, the scene at the end of the recent trailer showing an Organization member with the knight from the Sunset Horizons secret movie may be removed from the final game because it may confuse people too much…
Another new scan today, courtesy of G-Zone. Unfortunately this doesn’t reveal anything really important, but it looks good nevertheless.
Basically, the only thing of any real interest mentioned here is that Hollow Bastion and Twilight Town have been expanded to ‘realise their full potential’. Hopefully this means there’s been big changes, not just a few extra areas.
More translations have been done on the recent Famitsu article in which Nomura revealed the existance of other Kingdom Hearts projects.
The article basically delves into some more points regarding Final Mix+, specifically RE:Chain of Memories. Nothing too big, but most of it was new anyways. Following is a list of new information that was talked about:
Also, I’ve forgotten to mention in recent news Sora’s new Drive Form exclusive to KH2′s Final Mix – basically, it resembles his original KH1/CoM costume, with some slight alterations, yet it is very powerful! More news as we have it.
As I reported yesterday, a new scan has shown up with more scenes from the Roxas battle in The World That Never Was. Unfortunately, the strange manga insert I mentioned is still present.
If a version without the manga shows up, you’ll be the first to know!
The scan also reveals an interesting piece of info regarding Roxas himself – it seems he only has one extra bar of health, while strangely, in the recent trailer he had heaps, in the realm of Sephiroth’s amount. The trailer was probably made when the developers were messing around with the battle and it hadn’t been completed yet.
In other news, Disney have opened up their official teaser site for Final Mix+, which doesn’t really include anything new yet. If anything else becomes available, we’ll tell you.
Nomura’s apparently spilled the beans as of yesterday, after months of silence, speaking up on new Kingdom Hearts projects in Famitsu. Note: Plural.
Word is that in a new interview with Famitsu Weekly Nomura said that in “mid-2007″ he would reveal new Kingdom Hearts projects. Not one, but multiple. He also states that there’s more than video games to be announced – does this mean the rumoured anime is going ahead?
Along with this, he talks of “big movements” in the Kingdom Hearts series at the moment – perhaps Square and Disney have finally signed and sealed the deal on Kingdom Hearts 3?
(Apparently scans will be available soon, until then check the article out on 1UP for proof and more info.)
In other news, IGN have recently revealed that readers have voted Kingdom Hearts 2 their game of the year. Surprise aside, Kingdom Hearts 2 actually won first place in the Top 10 PS2 Readers’ Picks of 2006, beating out Final Fantasy 12. It was award second in the Top 10 PS2 Sellers of the Year!
Lastly, a new scan has been found online with some new shots from the Roxas vs. Sora battle, but the only copy I can find has some shoddy manga pic paste on to it (don’t ask me why…). I’ll search for a real version of the scan, if I can’t find one by tomorrow I’ll just use this one instead for the time being.
