--- So Terra's clothes are red, Ven's are yellow, and Aqua's are blue. These are similar colors to what we saw in KHII with Sora's Form changes. Do these indicate similar fighting styles? Nomura: No, nothing like that. We just matched colors to each element that is in their names, Earth, Wind, and Water, so their "image color" ended up being red, yellow, and blue respectively. Regardless of their name element attacks, much like the earth named Terra has power based moves, we've made each of their abilties with a specific image in mind.
--- How do they actually get to other worlds? Nomura: There are no Gummi Ships, they do have a special way of getting there. It's something like the Corridor of Darkness that Organization XIII uses.
--- This is a story set even before the first game in the series, will some of the same worlds be appearing in this game? Nomura: Yes, of course. Even though it's the same world, however, since the time and the place will have changed it will feel new.
--- Do you think it's best to watch the original movies of the new worlds that will be appearing in this game? Nomura: No, I don't think it's necessary. Although, "Experiment 221" in Stitch's world, also named Sparky, can only be seen in the sequal. In that case I think it will be more enjoyable if you've already seen the original.
--- In "KH Birth by Sleep" will there be more new mysteries, or more previous mysteries being answered for us? Nomura: Hmm, I wonder. Well I haven't counted them so I don't know the exact number, but there will be a lot of mysteries answered. But there will also be many mysteries that will deepen, so because of that perhaps you could say they've increased. We've already given you plenty of hints in previous games, so people with good sense will probably already understand.
--- I see. Of course, people who start the series with "KH Birth by Sleep" will be able to enjoy it with no problems, right? Nomura: Of course. Just like "KH 358/2 Days", it has a different main character from Sora, so I think it would be easy to get into. If "KH Birth by Sleep" is your first game, I'd like you to go on after that to play the first KH game.
--- So, when will the release date be? Nomura: Well, we had to balance it with the release date of "FFXIII", so once that was decided, we decided on January 2010 for BbS. We are still trying to figure out what day it will be.
--- Will you be able to use the same data with both multiplayer and single player? Yasue: Multiplayer and single player are completely linked together, so all the items, commands, and character growth you receive in one will go over into the other.
