– According to Tesuya Nomura, if you take Kingdom Hearts as a base and evolve it like Final Fantasy, you get Final Fantasy Versus XIII; evolve the Kingdom Hearts qualities further to get Kingdom Hearts 3D
– Versus XIII forms a pair with Kingdom Hearts 3D in and the future Kingdom Hearts series in terms of gameplay

– Nomura thinks numbered Kingdom Hearts games should have proper and orthodox evolutions
– Team wants to try bold elements for non-numbered games, including KH3D
– KH3D to be bolder than Birth by Sleep
– Nomura: “By playing this, you will probably understand how Kingdom Hearts III will evolve”
– The Mark of Mastery test will only be in some parts of the game

– Numerous secrets to the Drop Gauge
– Nomura says you should think of the character switches as something like a countdown event always taking place

– Nomura: “Also, there are still titles that were not announced this time”
Bethesda’s Pete Hines was recently asked if the company is looking into the 3DS…
“Again, we don’t have DS titles in development. So, if we were to announce or to do DS stuff, then I would guess they would be looked at for whatever title that might be developed. But that’s purely hypothetical. We don’t have anything for DS.”
Given the fact that the 3DS was referred to as the DS throughout the response, I’d say that Bethesda won’t be making any 3DS games soon. Although, it probably isn’t a huge loss, as Bethesda’s never really had much in the works for the DS.
“The thing that we’ve learned is that there are some games that you want to battle head to head, but you don’t want to necessarily want that other player to have full access to the space. Probably the best example is something like ‘Animal Crossing.’ We may want to trade items in ‘Animal Crossing,’ but do I really want the potential for you to come into my town and maybe disrupt it in some way? That’s what Friend Codes are all about. There are certain games where Friend Codes are important. There are other games where, because of the head to head nature of the gameplay, it really isn’t necessary.”
“In terms of what happens if you lose your system, in terms of digital content, as we’ve announced, there’s the ability to transfer digital content on to a new system, because we’ll have the ability to go back and see what your account was and what you had purchased. In terms of what else you might have lost, that’s really tough to answer in a hypothetical.”
“Essentially if you want to communicate to others what you’re playing, what you’ve done for a particular game, that’s now going to be possible through things like Street Pass.”
“People are aware that video games, music and movies make massive contributions to the economies of countries. They need to make sure they start protecting those things. I think perhaps there’s been a ‘heyday of piracy’ and we’ve now seen a lot of rules come in to stop it.” – Marketing manager James Honeywell
I believe that the 3DS has a feature with it that allows automatic downloads of updates and patches to your device that cannot be stopped. This would allow a complete destruction of piracy… at least until hackers find a way to turn off the auto-download thing.
Most of you won’t be able to understand what’s being said, but proceed with caution if you’re worried about spoilers!
