It's May 1st in Japan, which means Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Ultimania is now officially released! Thanks to FF Reunion, we now have a bit of information from the interview that may pique your interests.

Nomura says that there is no plan for a Final Mix for Kingdom Hearts 3D at the current time, and that there will be an announcement for Kingdom Hearts in the near future!

Update: aibo_ac7 of FF Reunion has also provided more information from the interview found on 2ch!

Does the secret message you unlock mean Kingdom Hearts 3?

Nomura: Use your imagination. You will eventually find the answer."

Volume 2 of Birth by Sleep? Continuation of Birth by Sleep?

Nomura: That is to say the story for BBS vol. 2 exists but that story has been cut off. There is potential for a sequel to Birth by Sleep, but there are no plans for it right now.

The series producer also mentions that he wishes to see Pixar films in the Kingdom Hearts series.

Update 2: bKvEBVAvUq provided a summary of the interview, of which said that multiple titles are in production by the Osaka team who made Birth By Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 3D.

Update 3: The lovely goldpanner has translated the short summary from FF-Reunion:

There's an interview with Tetsuya Nomura in the KH3D Ultimania that went on sale today! From the interview: They don't have any plans for BBSv2 right now, trust your imagination with the ****** message, there's no plans for an FM for this title, the mystery kh project is stopped because they did kh3d, please look forward to whether the * ****** are those * people, lots of things have already started happening for a new title in the kh series, and he thinks they will be able to make some kind of announcement in a relatively short time.

(The blanked out parts are only blanked out by this blog because of spoilers, they aren't blanked in the actual interview. Goldpanner thinks the words are 'secret message' and 'whether the 7 lights are those 7 people'

There you go! In the interview there's also 'impressions upon seeing the 3DS, the way we brought in free flow action, the title 3D, choosing which worlds to use, about the new black coated people in organisation xiii' etc. I also really really recommend 'Ask Mr Tetsu everything! Scenario Mysteries' for Nomura's detailed commentary! KH3D's Ultimania is pretty big, very much worth reading, go and buy it for sure!

Update 4: A member of 2ch has reported that there are a number of familiar characters hidden amongst the black coats in Where Nothing Gathers.
