Hello everyone! FF and KH blog FF-Reunion has posted up the details of Nomura's latest interview with Famitsu, where he drops details about changes that might be made in the Western release of Birth by Sleep, as well as hints into the future of the Kingdom Hearts series:

-- Now we can't help but think on what the next game in the series is going to be like.

Nomura: First we have to get "Birth by Sleep" to the West (laugh) Everything with that has already bee decided for the most part. We are thinking about added a Critical Mode, and making bosses we thought were a bit weak stronger. And since Megaflare was too strong, we'll have to adjust that. Some of the event scenes we're going to change back to the way they were, and we'll adjust some scenes so that the story is more easily understandable.

-- Since you'll be changing so much, does that mean we can expect a Final Mix?

Nomura: Well, first we'll have to see just how much it becomes different from the domestically released version. But we'd really like to be able to release one "Kingdom Hearts" game a year. We don't want several years to go by without there being anything.

Nomura: No no, we're going to keep that one a secret (laugh). Like I said before, we still have to release "Mystery" game that will connect the series.

-- Can you currently say whether the series will end with the third game, or anything else about it?

Nomura: "Kingdom Hearts" is Sora's story, but the series that we're developing now is also the story of one other person. You could say that it is a series where that person is the core.

-- The series you're developing now!?

Nomura: I can't say anything more than that (laugh).
