Man, you are quicker than bittermeats/Olivia. I'm so glad! I'll REP you!
The interview talks a lot more about Xion and the side-games' development, and god, has it have everything stick 'in-the-face'.
Looking out for more interviews and translated works!

And speaking about BBS, there will be some KH original characters we've seen before coming in. Oh ho ho, I wonder who it will be.
*Hope it's Axel and Saix in human form in BBS*

*cough*Braig/Xigbar*cough*

I'm happy and all, but, wtf!??!?! Is it just because I haven't slept yet (and it's 9 in the morning over here) that I swear they said that the future after these three next games may not be KHIII???!!!!???!!?!?!

I wonder if Leon/Squall and the gang will make an appearance? I have a feeling Ole Man Ansem will be showing up. And we already know Riku and Sora appear.

Oh, I forgot him.
Maybe Kairi and her grandmother will appear too.

I'm pretty sure Disney didn't like the idea of their characters beating the heck out of each other. Organization XIII can get away with it because they don't have a reputation to uphold in Disney's eyes.

Anyone else hope that the new not-KH3 game follows Riku, like Nomura suggested as a possible plot alongside the 358/2 Days, Coded, and BBS concepts? ^_^

-- So is it possible that there will be another game connecting BbS and KH1? And might that be KH3...?

Nomura: Who knows? I already have ideas for the next installment. But since Birth by Sleep isn’t even out yet, I don’t have to think about it until awhile from now. Recently everyone kepts asking me when I’m planning on coming out with KH3. Even though I’m currently busy with Final Fantasy versus XIII, I’m also thinking that it’s almost time to start thinking about it seriously. Though it’s entirely possible that the next game in the series won’t be KH3.

-- So what will it be?

Nomura: I can’t say that quite yet, but it will be more “offical” than a side story. I actually told the producer this recently, and he said “...what?” It’s the mystery KH. (laugh) Of course, I am also thinking about KH3.

So it's pretty much confirmed that there's another KH game to go before KH3.

Nomura said he can't say what it is yet. "Yet" as in they're already in the process of making this non-KH3 game. It's just like when he said that the next game in the series wouldn't be KH3 and announced a "new project."

But... it's not a side game? It's more "official"?
What could that be?
Most of the bases are covered on the games' storylines.

BbS, KH1, CoM, Days, KH2, coded.

The only areas of the storyline that haven't been depicted are before BbS, between BbS and KH1, and after coded.

A prequel to BbS is a big no. BbS IS the prequel, we don't need another.
Between BbS and KH1, not much happened, and we have the Ansem Reports anyway.
And I figured after coded would be saved for KH3.

Still, I guess I could see a procession of coded, then another KH game, and then KH3.
But how can this game be official rather than a side story if it's not the next numbered installment?

There's always the potential of a KH1/KH2 remake for the Wii/PS3 I guess. Yet... it sounds like he's talking about a new game.

Now, come to think of it...

Presently there are 4 main untold stories to consider. "The period of the King's absence", "The period of Riku's absence", "Roxas' time in Organization XIII" and "Xehanort's past". In this case, The story of "The period of the King's absence" is set in the realm of darkness. I am examining a way to tell these 4 stories so I might be able to find a way to tell them soon.

"Roxas' time in Organization XIII" = Days
"Xehanort's past" = BbS
"The period of the King's absence" = coded
"The period of Riku's absence" = coded (?)

Now hold up on that last one. We know Nomura says concerning coded that "questions will be answered too, such as where the King had gone, and also what Riku has been doing."
So we'd assume that this is what he meant by the period of the King's and Riku's absence.

But what if he meant the period of Riku's absence in KH2?
Think about it.
We only got to truly see him at the end (beside the cameo in Land of the Dragons). Even Mickey had more screen time.

So, maybe this next game is a "Reverse Rebirth" for KH2. I personally think it would be a lame idea, though we'd probably get the answer to how he gets that second keyblade.

I think it sounds rather lame, too. I mean, what would the point of the story be? But, I suppose it could be interesting if Riku did what he did in LoD in other worlds, too. Like, talking to the world leaders and stuff.
