Re:Riplai was a special ‘mook’ (book magazine) released by Square Enix through Famitsu Publishing company at the end of 2008 which contained numerous articles and interviews with developers working on the company’s latest titles, including all three new Kingdom Hearts titles. These interviews came directly from my own copy. Please do not repost without crediting to Heartstation.
