When asked about the future of the game, whose last episode has been out for a few weeks, Kato apparently confided his desire to be able to put the game to a larger audience, given that relatively few people can play coded on its current platform (NTT DoCoMo phones). Alas, it’s not easy to understand what he means by that, whether it be that he wants the the game to be more available on a real console or simply on other phone models.

There are also rumors that if KH: Coded does make it off of the phone, it will be released for the PSP, but nothing had been confirmed at all yet.  Just thought you guys might like to know.

KK out!

In my last post, I told you all how there were rumors floating around about a potential May 2010 release for Birth by Sleep in North America.  Well, according to a recent interview with Tetsuya Nomura, which you can read on KHInsider here, it looks like we might have to wait a little later (lately, I’ve been hearing rumors about August, but no promises).

Nomura also hints that the mysterious story referenced in the Secret Ending of Birth by Sleep (unofficially being dubbed “Reconnect: Kingdom Hearts”), will not be the last game in the series, but a link that connects all of the previously released games in preparation for Kingdom Hearts III, which according to Nomura, isn’t even in the works yet.

I’ll try to keep you posted with any other information I can find.  Until then, KK out.

Anyway, we hope to Destiny Islands up and running as soon as possible.  Ace and I are taking full advantage of our winter breaks from school to get as much done as we can.  Thank you for all of your support and especially for your patience.

December 30th 2009 Creator Message (Tetsuya Nomura)

Good morning.
Are you all having fun with FFXIII?
I’m Nomura, and this is my second time appearing here.

They suddenly told me that I had to write a blog entry after they’ve put up the new trailer. But I was late with it again.

So what did you think of the new trailer?
There is quite a lot of stuff we packed into it. We even included some scenes from a secret event.

This time we thought we shouldn’t put too many of the best scenes in the game in the trailer, since that would give away too much. So instead we took a little bit from a secret scene instead, as a last resort. I hope you’ll watch all of the main scenes of the game for yourself.

Also, I feel that this time we’ve created quite a good game.
How you’ve arranged your Deck Commands will play a big part in how you get through battles. So collected a lot of Commands, and try out which ones work best.

For me, the first time I had trouble was in Olympus Colosseum.
In the tournament you have to fight a series of battles under a time limit.
There is an Unversed called “Buckle Bruiser” that, well… keeps repelling your attacks.

It’s even more irritating than the “Large Body” Heartless….
Once the time limit was up, I switched around my Deck Commands and tried again.

So everyone, please watch out for the “Buckle Bruiser”.
Also, watch out for the timing on your Shoot Locks. You’ll need it.

One special feature in this game is the “Command Board”.
It’s different from the rest of the game, and will give you a nice break.
I’m really happy we put it in.

Even if you don’t win, you don’t have to reset. You can upgrade your Commands and play as many times as you want. So you can just take it easy and have fun with it.

We’ve put a lot of different elements into this game, and I really feel that we’ve made an interesting one. We only have a little longer before it releases.

So you better invite your friends while you can, since you can play on adhoc.
I’ll see you again next time, when they make me write another entry on release day.

I hope you have a good New Years.
