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.
KINGDOM HEARTS coded with Director Tetsuya Nomura
Q. It’s a matter of concern whether or not it’ll be released on a platform other than the mobile phone.
A. There are no plans to release it off the mobile at this stage. Since I want to continue introducing this specialized system on the mobile phones more in the future, I think that’s something to consider after the distribution of this title is finished.
Q. It look like it’d be fun even if you haven’t played Kingdom Hearts…
A. With this game as a start, people will become interested in the other Kingdom Hearts games.
Q. Isn’t it difficult to play an action game on the mobile phone?
A. It’s been tuned to be played by a simpler input method compared to the that of the normal Kingdom Hearts games. Additionally, this game comes preinstalled on the P-01A mobile phone, which can connect to a television with the appropriate cable, so it can be enjoyed on the big screen as well.
Q. Like with Before Crisis FFVII, can you communicate and play with other people?
A. This is different from BC, there are plans to play by an interesting communication.
