This is what Nomura had to say about the game in a recent interview:
That seems interesting...playing as Xemnas seems awesome. What do you guys think about all of this?
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (Nintendo DS)
Interviewer: Does the 14th member fight? What kind of weapon does she use?
Nomura: We’ve already decided, but we can’t tell you right now.
Interviewer: Is the battle system the same in this game as it was in other games? I’m curious because there is no command menu there.
Nomura: The actions of the characters and the controls are different from the past games. This is because of the screen size, however there is no need to worry. For now there is no command menu, but we may decide to add one.
Interviewer: If there is no command menu, would it be because each action is added to a different button for the DS?
Nomura: Yes, but how the controls feel is different. The method is still being thought on.
Interviewer: Will there be a function where you can use the stylus, with the lower screen?
Nomura: For now, there is no function where you can use the DS Touch Screen. If we do that, the entire feeling of Kingdom Hearts may be ruined. The top screen will mostly be used for the story telling, when the lower screen isn't available. However, there will be some points where both screens will be used. Who knows, maybe later on we'll have a surprise for ourselves, and for our audience!
About Multiplayer Mode
Nomura: Here’s an interesting feature. Whenever you complete a mission, the Organization Member's chair will rise. Also the lowest ranking member's chair will lower more. *Laughs* I wonder what will happen if you lose with Xemnas? *Laughs* (Note: This highly suggests that Xemnas will be playable.) The strength and game play of certain members have also been altered. Such as: Xigbar's attacks have a high range, but he has slow reloading time. Lexaeus has slow movement, but very high attack power. There is still one mysterious character though.
Interviewer: Is it Zexion?
Nomura: Yes, because he uses a book as a weapon. We’re aiming to have Zexion absorb other enemies attacks, and use their own attacks against them.
