According to Famitsu’s interview with Nomura:

>In the Frozen world, in a FFVII fashion, you can slide down the mountains when there will be some battles there and challenge yourself to get scores once you finish the world

>it was a challenge to work on the graphics, with characters like the trinity trio and Luxord having details on their models, Jack and the other characters are still in progress

>Luxord’s model has to be changed for the sake of Pirates of the Caribbean, since when put in another world it looks out of place

>Look forward to Big Hero Six’s world since it is yet to be shown

>the skates you’ll get in the Frozen world you can slide anywhere and have quick melee attacks

>In the Pirates’s world, you can be able to fly toward an enemy with Chute Rock to ride on them. Also in that world you can sail a ship and explore an uncharted island

>Nomura wanted Sora to have a greater sense of activeness and going to be involved in more dynamic action

>For haircuts, Riku understands the process and details and cutting his hair, for Kairi’s case Nomura thinks having an image change would bring something fresh to her. In of outfits the trio matches with Sora’s plaid, also saying at this time everyone got their new clothes from Yensid

>The changes for the trinity trio for the Monsters Inc. world are based on Pixar designer’s intentions and (for Toy Story) had time to design the characters in a pixel art style then adjusted the realism to created the toy like models

>The world Lea and Kairi are in their cutscene at the trailer the player cannot access to, however the speech Kair made at the KH Orchestra last year will be used in the scene in the game

>Nomura is glad they switched to the Unreal Engine 4 due to the liberties they can do

>Nomura did not give any directions when Utada made Chikai, for the synopsis (which could be the theme for the song) “the answers will come out to each character that had various issues”

>He can’t really give the percentage of how complete the game is, but the main issue they’re having is running out of space due to the different spaces for cutscenes. Only other issue is the voice acting for the lip syncing

>Due to the issues of space they plans to make DLC’s for updates, more of things to expand the game and will be released in packages and not in seasonal es. No final mix is under consideration
