No one trusts Nomura when he says things like that, haha. He said in a Versus interview that Kingdom Hearts was "so bright that [he] almost got blinded," which... yeah. It's possible that Nomura's baseline is so dark that a series as bent on crushing its protagonists as KH is could be blindingly bright to him (in which case, Versus's darkness would go Beyond The Impossible), but given the existence of Type-0-like Moogles and Nomura's own comments in Versus interviews (eg. "The story contains pain, but that is a realistic part of the expression between the characters and the hero as part of friendship. The story tells of companions who spend time together and the happiness they share each day as well as the heavy responsibilities they carry," "We can look back on when we were students, and remember enjoying horsing around with our peers with no particular aim in mind," etc.), I'm more inclined to think he exaggerates. =P
