A new (short summary) Tetsuya Nomura interview has been translated from the Weekly Famitsu featuring Sora on the cover!
- First design of Sora was him being like a lion with a tail. (You
know... "that artwork".) The reason for this is because Nomura wanted
to design him as close to a Disney character as possible.
- The chainsaw was the first idea for a weapon before a keyblade.
-
In the middle of working on "FFVIII", because there was a character in
"FFIX", that had a tail, the tail was dropped from Sora's design.
-
Then, when it came to the time of exchanging opinions with the staff on
the Disney side, Nomura added corrections to Sora such as the shoes and
pants. Where should the straight lines and the curves be. Then, it took
him all night to put in the finishing touches to get the Sora, we know
today.
- Nomura believes that the re-appearance of Sora, in the
BbS Secret Movie, is highly anticipated. He says that, from now on, we
should look forward to Sora's activities in the future.
- Nomura says that it's not possible to declare what that future work will be (for now).
-
Nomura wants us to wait for that future development, because he thinks
this (Birth By Sleep) is proof that the same KH Osaka team, who is
currently working on "FFVersusXIII", has the same ability (/quality) to
put it into the next KH game.
- Nomura wants all the fans,
and everyone else to know, who are still demanding for a "III", that
it'll be implemented as soon as possible.
