Yet again more minor news of these two upcoming games. Here is a scan showing a little gameplay and the platform of Re:Coded. Below is an interview with Tetsuya Normura during the recent E3 Expo revealing the composer for Kingdom Hearts 3D.
OSV: Do you involve yourself heavily in the audio direction of your games, or do you give the composer more free reign to compose?
Nomura: Well, I myself don’t write music, and I won’t go into the composing field of game development since I lack the musical skills. I have written lyrics for numerous songs however for the Advent Children movie. As for my interaction with the composers, I actually make alot of requests to them. I have a very specific and clear vision of what emotions and atmosphere I want to portray from the characters and locations so it’s very common that I send the music back and request a lot of changes.
OSV: You seem to have a preference in using Yoko Shimomura to do the soundtrack for your games. What is it that draws you to her music?
Nomura: Shimomura is a great person and obviously I think her music is amazing. But I find that she takes too long to finish the music, and I have to ask her to speed up the process (laughs).
OSV: Will she return to compose for the new Kingdom Hearts 3DS?
Nomura: You can be assured that Shimomura will indeed come back to score Kingdom Hearts 3DS. Other than that I can’t share any details about the game yet.
