Kingdom Hearts fans now have more developer interviews to enjoy. Aside from the recent interview with character designer Tetsuya Nomura about Square Enix‘s Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, Nomura also held another interview with Famitsu, this time about Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PSP.

Nomura said that each main character in Birth by Sleep will have an important mystery tied to them. This blogger believes that the origins of Terra and Ven’s names (earth and wind, respectively) may be a hint. As for other characters, Nomura wasn’t able to elaborate more about the old man Xehanort, and whether or not he is related to Kingdom Heart 2’s Xehanort from Organization XIII.

There will be new kinds of enemies in Birth by Sleep, which belongs neither to the Heartless nor to the Nobodies, and the battle system will be entirely revamped as well (notice that there’s no MP bar in Ven’s battle screenshots?), so we can expect a totally new game for the PSP courtesy of the Kingdom Hearts team.

There are a lot of other tidbits mentioned in the interview, and it’s best to check out the translated transcript in the Read link below.
