News has been scarce today but I've a treat for our hungry Kingdom Hearts fans. Famitsu has held its very own interview with the co. producers of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Kato and Ito, which the guys over at HEARTSTATION have translated. Take a little peek at it and view the rest on our forums!

Q. About when and how did the Re:Coded project begin?

A. We were considering the fact that there were a lot of people that who wanted to try out Coded outside of the mobile phone version, so from about October of last year we started development together with H.a.n.d. on the DS version. (Kato)

Q. Finally, any messages for the players of Re:Coded?

A. You can change your avatar's outfits using the touch pen, so you can get quite detailed. You can use the pen to add tiny parts like "Cid's toothpick" and other things make sure to check it out. (Ito)

Are you excited for the interview with Nomura?! You can bet we are! Before we go - and we don't mean to give you a sensory overload! - we have news that Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix is now available to pre-order from Amiami. The cover art still hasn't been revealed, so the image there is nothing but a tease, but please enjoy the game if you're going to invest in it!
