Tetsuya Nomura, the creator of Kingdom Hearts, was interviewed in the latest edition of Famitsu. We’ve posted details from the interview below.

- The first design of Sora was of him being a lion with a tail, Nomura wanted him to be like a Disney character
- Idea of having the chainsaw as a weapon came before the keyblade idea
- Sora’s tail was drop during the development of FFVIII
- Sora’s shoes and pants were added when Nomura was discussing the character with Disney
- Sora will be in future games
- Nomura isn’t sure what the future work will be
- Nomura believes Birth By Sleep shows that the Kingdom Hearts Osaka dev team has similar ability to create a quality KH title
- Kingdom Hearts 3 will be implemented as soon as possible

A hint at KH3 being developed by the Osaka studio? I'd say that's very likely, considering that:

1) the main team is busy

2) Birth by Sleep is considered the best KH game ever by people who imported.

3) PSP and Wii development isnt that much different.
