Tetsuya Nomura is currently attending San Diego Comic Con 2014, where he's been busy signing autographs with Hideo Kojima. There he was asked a few questions by Siliconera regarding his work on the Play Arts Kai figures.
Among those were about the similarites between Nomura's Batman design and the armours in Birth by Sleep, but according to Nomura, it was actually designed years before Kingdom Hearts was even conceived:
"Actually, to be honest, the project that never got off the ground was done before Kingdom Hearts was conceived. It might be the opposite—the design from that early project influenced Kingdom Hearts and armor design in that series."
So the infamous armours, which are now such an iconic part of the series, didn't even originate from there to begin with.
Finally, asked about which characters designed by him he would want to see figures of, he simply answered that he'd love to have Terra, Aqua and Ventus, the main characters of Birth by Sleep.
