Use google...
there are about 2-3 KH game coming out.

Fore information go here:.
http://www.kingdomhearts2.net/info/releasedates.shtml
Kingdom Hearts 2
USA: December 2004/January 2005
Japan: ???
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
USA: 2004
i just cant wait for KH2 to come out, time for rikku to kick butt
One of the most expected games of the year. Anyone have any information on it such as it's release, storyline, etc?
Nope. None.
But there are a lot of theories about the PS2 sequel. You can find them at:
http://www.ansemreport.com
ooh i saw that website a while ago, they epent waaaaaay too much time analyzing the ending in my opinion....
anyhow i heard late 2004-early 2005 for US release (i'm probably wrong though, however marketing would probably release it mid-December, christmas season, y'know)

Gamespot's KH2 gamespace (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/kingdomhearts2) is also a good place for updates, checkout their KH2 screenshots (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/kingdomhearts2/screenindex.html) section.
i got Sora's level maxed out and i cant even beat the colliseum's monsters :hmm:
heard Rikku's gonna be the lead character for KH2.

2004-02-29, 09:00
nah rikku isnt the lead character, its still gonna be sora
and u cant beat sephirot??? it was pretty hard but u should be able to beat him, its not impossible
cant beat the ice giant ... sigh ... whats the high level use for when i cant beat it ...
cant beat the ice giant ... sigh ... whats the high level use for when i cant beat it ...
hah, ice giant isn't hard, just very repetative. The time you spend killing him is worth the xp you get though.
hmm. sephiroth is still beyond me.... i've gotten him down to below half, but i did it only once and i can't repeat it.... but sora's only 88, so.....maybe that's my problem.... final boss is so much easier than sephiroth.
as for the ice giant.... hit the huge chunks of ice with the blade, don't just dodge. it's easy once you know how. time attack on the last chain was a pain, took 5 tries...
and hoping the 2nd's as good as the first....

Beat Sephy at lvl 52 or so, KH Final Mix on Proud difficulty. Had to since I needed One Winged Angel keyblade, Ultima Weapon is a bitch to synthesize in Final Mix --;; (I think when I went through the US ver months before, I needed to be at level 70 or so...)
Sephy was nothing - battling Unknown, now THAT was hard. That damn roulette attack still takes me down sometimes...

Um, I'm not sure what you're asking. Unknown is the figure in a black outfit whose face you can't see. (One of those KH2 screenshots shows 5 of them...) He's a hidden boss you can only confront in Final Mix.

i thought u're talking about the roulette in another world
StarCreator
2004-03-01, 16:50
The roulette attack used against you by Unknown causes the command list to change to randomly selected occurances of "Shock" or "Release". Release only shows up for a quick moment before disappearing, and you have to be quick to select it, as it's the only way out of the attack. Shock causes damage to you. While the attack is active, you cannot attack or use items or magic. (Your party members can still use items, but they can't attack or use magic either.) It also slowly drains your health until you die.
So if you can't pick "Release" (which is often very difficult), you either die from the slow damage or from picking Shock too many times. >.>
Final mix, no wonder i dun have that unknown to play with, i play the japanese version

I can't get close to beating Sephiroth.I'm at level 65 or so and I can't even get 3 hits on him.I still have to beat the Hades cup with the time limit though.But KH2 is supposed to be coming out Late this year or early next.if you got the special ending unlike me in KH you see part of the opening sceen of KH2 with double keyblades.But Whinne the pooh will have his own level this time,or so I hear.Thats all the info I have but go to Site (www.ffvision.ffgon.com/forums) ,then go the Kingdom Hearts and they have a thread.Later.

one thing that i hope is that the theme song will be better than utada hikaru's hikari, man that song was awesome, that was why i like this game so much

Man freaking the Chameleon was hard.
Where Sora, Goofy, and Donald were weak. Donald was useless.... Tarzan and Peter pan were the only NPCs I used....
StarCreator

Donald was my most valued NPC... he did almost all the group healing (I tend to concentrate only on myself). Donald's MP would literally have wrapped circles around mine.
Goofy hits hard too if you equip the right abilities.
And of course, both their effectivenesses can only come out if you tweak their settings properly. The defaults completely suck.

Yeah this is my most dreaded part of the game because you don't get the heal ability untill after you beat this guy.

i bought tonnes of healing potions and set donald and goofy to use them as when as needed so there aint a problem of whacking the chamleon..
This game was pretty much easy for me. I beat it at like level 56 or so. I only rented the game, so I didn't have enough time to level up to try and to beat Sephiroth(he was hard). I thought that Jack(that skeleton-guy from "The Nightmare Before Christmas") was cool. Donald sucks, but I think Goofy is good.

Donald and Goofy are just for entertaining people like me who still haven forgot about disney
Donald sucks in the beginning. Goofy is good throughout.
Donald > Goofy later though.
later all goofy needs to do is use MP gift. everything eles who cares. just let donald blast them with magic.
O yea I used Beast too. NPC invaulable. without him i had to keep running away from everyone.
StarCreator
2004-03-05, 03:22
For that one section of story, yeah, Beast is absolutely invaluable. Literally impossible to make it without him. =P
After that, I found him too slow to be useful - he can't really dodge attacks very well, and that often gets him killed before he gets a hit in, unless you're commanding him to attack manually (and he hasn't run out of MP).

yes, he's so important when sora just got a wooden sword
i used him to kick maleficent butt
hay guys and gals can some one tell me how to beat the phantom at the clock tower? please.
StarCreator
2004-03-30, 13:19
That one's a toughie.
First of all, it's important to keep casting Stop on one of the clock's hands. Phantom has a spell that will permanently take out one of your teammates if you let time run out - casting Stop halts the countdown for a minute or two.
As for damaging him, you need to attack him depending on what color the orb is - if it's red, you attack with fire, if it's blue, attack with ice, if it's white, use physical attack, etc...
You basically need to get used to his pattern so you aren't hit so often. I had a hard time choosing between Donald and Goofy for this fight (since you have to take Peter Pan with you to get there), but I chose Goofy for his MP Gift ability, because you do run out of MP quickly during this fight. I think I loaded up everyone's inventory with Ethers, too...

So which new Disney characters/settings do you wanna see this time around?
First they need to can the damn Gummi Ship.
After that, Sora busting into the world of Tron would be awesome. Tifa needs to show up, Rinoa too...maybe some of the folks from random Square games like Aya Brea and the folks from the Bouncer.
They're probably going to have a Jungle Book level this time around. So who all are you looking forward to seeing?

I want to see Cecil/Terra/Kain/Celes The oldschool FFs.
I imagine we'll be seeing more of Squall and quite possible vivi or Zidane.
As for Disney....
Hmmm... I want to run around in france and kill Quasi. Then go to China and kill Mulan. Finally Fly all the way to American and Kill John Smith.
I hope there's more FF worlds though.
Who wouldn't want to fight Kuja again? He can go into trance mode and become super Kuja
I heard that in the next installment there will definetly be less disney. So i imagine they are probably still going to use the same characters that were in the first Kingdom Hearts.
i wana see vivi, hes the best also the gummy ship is ok. i guess.
i like building them sometimes i have the best gummy ship. so haha.
Also i want the to be a jungle book level, that would be kool!
Id like there to be FFX stuff in there to.
wana now a way to get money easly an quick?
sure u do
go to traverse town after the monstes all get stronger(near the end)then u go to 3rd district and fight the defenders then go out and goto 'cids' shop and heal in the save point then go back and fight again. You get lie 500 gold each time. :)

Me too. But one thing I'd like to see in this game, is that Cloud would actually be on your team. He'd make a powerful ally. Though, I doubt that'll ever happen.

Did anyone notice how Lance Bass from N'Sync did the voice acting for sephiroth? first of all, Lance Bass' voice does not match sephiroth one bit. Second of all, why would someone pay a big celebrity to do like 2 lines total? i mean sephiroth doesn't really say much at all other than "ugh"

Yeah, well the only voice overs I liked that portrayed the FF characters, were from Cloud, Leon, Aeris & Yuffie. Cuz they were what made the story keep on going, and that they helped Sora. Which I think David Boreanaz (Angel) did Leon.
StarCreator
2004-04-03, 05:45
Lance had more than two lines. It was mostly corny stuff like "I shall take you to the promised land!" and "Dodge this!" though...
I don't care much about who voices the character, since he isn't even part of the story (and the extra Cloud/Sephy scene in Final Mix isn't voice-acted). Another way to look at it - it made beating the pulp out of Sephy that much more fun. =P

some of you people here seem to have defeated sephiroth, but what difficulty was it on, i still cantbeat him on the hardest difficulty level at with sora at Lvl 100, so i had to resort to using a cheat, but has anyone beaten him on hardest?
StarCreator
2004-04-04, 14:28
US ver, beat him at ~lvl71.
Final Mix (Proud difficulty), beat him probably around lvl53 or so.
He's not hard. Anything he can do that actually kills you is easily avoided once you know how.
what FF/Disney characters do you want to see in KH2?
SåßrêStrïké

Rikku, Paine, Quasimoto (Hunchback of Notre Dame), Pokahontas, Brother, Kimahri, Seymore, and definitely Auron.

i know for a fact that Auron is going to be in this game but i would like to see seymore as a boss in this game for i hated him in ffx and cant wait to kick his ass all over again :heh:
would be cool if there was an ff world like a disney world... but uh, maybe not the whole world, but like midgar or balamb etc. and we get to take control of an ff character. yea... the only ones we can control r disney characters! no fair! but i must say, the beast is powerful.

Use the block technique and reflect the ice shards back at him. After a while he'll fall down being stunned and during that time you attack him normally with your Keyblade. Do this multiple times until he's defected.
Other tips:
1. If you can use Firage on him. It works well especially if your magic's powerful.
2. When he's down use Ragnorok. Works well if you can use it and have high magic.
3. Use curage when needed. It will help a lot.
Your reward for regular: 5000 experience points + the 2000 you get from deflecting all of his shards (24 experience points for each shard.)
In Final mix: Al that Experience and a new Keyblade (Diamond Dust). It has ice power element in the Keyblade.
For Sephiroth:
I beated him without healing even once. I just got him strategy down that fast. It helps to use Ars Actrum multiple times if you have 16 MP.
Lowest lever: Lv.62 on Expert mode.
Beaing him is an automatic level up. I think he give 18000 experience points if I am correct.
On Final mix you get that and a new Keyblade (One Winged Angel). It has fire power element in the Keyblade.
does any one know where i can get the kingdom hearts font?

Nice suit :P ! I appreciate the link to the opening, very cool. It kinda explained a few things from the GBA title... I got bored at about 10 hours or something in it. I couldnt stand the "walking around" part, it just felt like a dungeon crawler type thing. Simplistic and could have been done much better. Anyways, I might get bored some day and beat it :P . So, back on KH2... I still can't wait for this game! Ever since I beat the game a few years back I've wished for the sequel, when it was announced... I really excited. Two looks amazing, updated visuals, new areas, and a new part to the story!! Also, Auron as an ally?! Awesomeness ^^
Can't wait till we get the English release.

Currently playing KH2...
New lead character, plays the same as old KH so far, can ride skateboard, if played final mix or CoM you know who unknown are and they are messing around with the new lead. New lead seems to be tapping into Sora's memories in his dreams. Unknowns are making some kind of progress on a machine experiment with Sora at the center... am on Day 3, unknown's progress at 28% and our day 2's train ride was wrecked by unknown stealing our money ahhhhhhh back to game addicted hahahah
Day 1 tutorial, target, talking, fighting.
Day 2 had to work for cash, deliver mail on skateboard, move garbage, do tricks with a ball (think hitting the mushroom guys only easier). Train ride...
Day 3 still playing...

Interesting, I'm assuming your playing the Japanese version right? I thought it was out tommorow.
God bless the internerd.
Playing in japanese, my kanji and hiragana recognition sucks, my ear for language + a damn good intiutiveness is my only saving grace for hoping to understand what's going on...
Story thus far,
Blond hair kid is part of a group of kids living in Twilight Town. They have a beef with another group of kids led by FF8's Seifer so they challenge them to a fight. Blond hair kid is having weird dreams related to Sora and his experiences. Unknown is hanging around with a guy in red doing some stuff on a computer with Sora's likeness on it. Progress is moving along on the computer, unknown is observing the blond kid. The computer experiment is linked to the blond kid, Sora's memories. Unknown is making sure the target stays in the vicinity so when the they made cash for a train ride out of the town, unknown stole the cash. The blond kid knows about a keyblade, some of sora's memories, but has yet to piece anything together... Unknown is also invisible to everyone else...
updates as I progress through the game..

Ansem report has just launched there new site.
It is a wiki page that will let members add information on the game and keep up to date on all kingdom hearts info.
http://ansemreport.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Once you get seph's attack pattern down just keep throwing your key blade. Thats the trick to beating him easily on any difficulty.
As for KH2 i really cant wait. They should make a movie for this game.
Its a bit too wacky to be a movie. Though I believe the script writters may make some poor decisions.
I got bored waiting for KH2 so I beat it on Hard and Slow leveling till I got to level 100 and unlocked every secret...
Then I did the same thing to Final Mix...
CoM makes sense now...
Sephiroth is pretty easy, I had him beat at around lvl 65 on hard.
It's a simple pattern, aeroga, heal, hit, get hit...
To get in a hit, jump in. A light jump in to sephiroth goes over his initial hit and you are free to combo. Heck I can do ragnarok or ars arcanum to him on a regular basis.
Once he's taken enough damage, he'll run off and do a sin harvest. Easy counter is to hit him. Re-target after the teleport and run/dodge roll/fly to him. Rinse and repeat step 1, (don't do ars arcanum or ragnarok now, very dangerous).
Once you hurt him enough, he'll do some whack sword attacks, cast some meteors etc. Does damage, but nothing aeroga and a heal can't fix. Also does teleport swipes.
You just keep running to him and pounding him. Dodge the meteors, take the sword hits. Heal. He'll be dead eventually.
Just a note I've had sephiroth cast a sin harvest after a meteor shower randomly. Would suck to get hit by that now because he follows it up with that crazy never ending sword attack.
Keys to victory. MP Rage, MP Haste, anything AP that gives you back magic. Pack some elixirs for the dim hope if you get hit by sin harvest you can use an elixir.
The higher your level, the quicker the fight goes... on hard and slow level up mode, he gives 18000 exp. Each victory = 1 level up for sora.
Unknown is a bitch to fight against...

btw where did kiera(?) go after? did she go back to the island?
I don't think he means that Sephiroth is the final boss in KH2. Just back again as an optional boss.
And the first game has been recapped in one of the many Kingdom Hearts fanpages out there. Go look for one yourself.

Im too tempted to play the JAP version even if I dont understand most of it. People are just playing it, those who don't understand it, for beating it and not understanding the story at all.

I would have thought the grown up Kairi scene is obvious... speaking of spoilers, IceAlchemy you spoiled a bunch from 1 for those that haven't completed it yet.
it's obvious that if you haven't finished one you should come to a thread that is talking about it's squel
Well, I'm pretty sure people have already seen/know about this, but I'm quite ecstatic about the announcement (which I just found out today), so I kinda felt I had to make a post about it. The NA release date of KHII has finally been set...for March 28th. Whoo...only 37 days to go! There was also some news about the VAs.

^Never knew that, I agree it doesn't really match
I've never been able to beat Seiphiroth, only tried twice at lvl 55, then got frustrated and skipped all sidequests and beat the game:D . After that I've never played it, but I am think of trying to play it again and beating that damn Seiphiroth. I remember on Gamefaqs someone had tried to get to lvl 99 in the beginning where you fight Tidus, Waku, and Selphie. That's crazy!!!
At first when I read about KH1, I disliked the idea and grew to not even thinking about getting the game. Then the idea of Disney/Squaresoft eventually grew on me and I caved in on buying it (only $25 on eBAy lol)
As more and more info comes through for KH2 I grow more and more eager to play one of the most anticipated game of the year to me, aside from the Zelda game for GC which has been delayed time after time.

I can't wait for this game to come out. I've been anticipating it ever since I saw the trailers for the game. I'm glad I've been watching anime for so long because it helped me understand the majority of what was being said in the trailers when it didn't have any subtitles.
The intro for the game looks amazing...
I don't know if I should put this in a spoiler tag but rather safe than sorry. I don't know how many people here have seen it. So anyways...it's mainly a recap of the first kingdom hearts game and for the Chain of Memories game. But I love the music...and I also like the effect of when Sora is lying on the beach and then Roxas (BHK) seems to fall out of him and into the water. See a parallel to him and the way Sora "fell" in the intro for Kingdom Hearts. I really want to see how the two of them are connected.
And yay! It comes out in March. That is so close to being here...but the thing is...I think it comes out around the time my exams start...phooey...but I'll still get it and play it between studying I suppose. So excited for this game. I haven't played Chain of Memories...does anybody think that will take away from the KH2 experience? Because I'm really hoping it won't. I basically know what happened in CoM though...and hopefully that will be enough...
I played CoM. Playing as Riku really helped open up his character. I though he was kinda inaccessible, since he spent most of the first game being jealous and manipulated. Since he's by himself for a big chunk of his run-thrpugh, you get to see how he think a bit better. If you can get a GBA and the game for cheap, I say play it.

I was thinking of getting it. My brother has a Nintendo DS and apparently you can play GBA games on it. The game costs around $20-30 the last time I checked I think. Not sure. I'm interested in playing it because you get to play as Sora and as Riku...if I'm correct. I saw the ending clips of the game because I got curious...and I never thought I would get the chance to play it.
But I am interested in getting to know Riku better...so now that you've told me that...I probably will end up getting the game...thanks Veritas :)

That's not Riku...
Also, with the cast revealed for FFVII: AC (like Tifa's Rachael Leigh Cook & Mena Suvari's Aerith). We could also be getting the same actor to do Cid & Sephiroth as well for KH2.

Really I'm not joking, he did a really fine job grunting and taking hits. I'm sure he'll do fine, and he sounds like a Bishi Sephy.

but I never played KH1, would I understand the story? lolz -_-

:heh: Uh, I don't think you got what I was putting down. What I meant was. We would probably get the same actors that did Cid and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
Sephiroth was voiced by George Newbern. And like with the FFVII: AC movie. We might get the same actor for Sephiroth in KH2. For Cid, it's also possible that we could get Chris Edgerly.

Well, you'll definitely be confused by certain aspects of the game if you decide to skip the first one, since KHII is a [somewhat] direct sequel to KH (in a manner of speaking...KH: CoM is the direct sequel, but you don't have to have played CoM to be able to enjoy KHII apparently). You could just read about the stuff off some fansites, and it'll probably give you enough to go on that you can play KHII without a perpetual question mark above your head as to what's going on, but imho, nothing can replace playing through the game yourself and watching the plot unfold.
And yeah, the intro is amazing. I've watched it a good dozen times already probably (at least)...and I'll probably be watching it more and more as the release date creeps closer. I just recently got KH: CoM for $29.99 CDN, so it's a pretty decent price. Still not that far into it due to work and...work (fansubbing). Hopefully I can finish it before KHII comes out, lol.

So you don't need to play CoM to understand what's going on? Yea, I already did go to this KH site that has clips of the CoM game on it. I already know basically what took place in it. But I agree that it is so much better to actually play the game and see what happens yourself.
I watched the intro over and over again too. Also watched some the trailers a lot too. Yea...I thought it would be around that price. The thing is...I'm going to have to find a way to steal my brother's DS so I can buy the game and play it...although I'll probably end up playing it after I've played KHII....lol
And I don't know if anybody else mentioned this yet but apparently the voice actor for Roxas is going to be Jesse McCartney (interesting....)
You should just download a GBA emulator and the CoM rom and play it that way. Saves loads of time, and money.

Wow. Bless your heart. Seriously. Good for you. I applaud those who've resisted the temptation of simply playing that game on an emulator.
but if your computers memory is all that's stoping you then I wouldn't worry about it. Both the emulator and the rom shouldn't take up more than 15mb combined. (I forgot how large the CoM rom is.)
Anyways, that's all I've got to say. I suppose borrowing someone elses DS or GBA is a plausible resort. Just don't go out and purchase a DS or GBA for this game alone because as decent as this game is, it's not worth all that money.

Well on CoM, I have it and played around 6 hours and got tired of it. It was really boring to me. But since KH2's coming in a month or so I might as well give it another go..
Did anyone notice how Lance Bass from N'Sync did the voice acting for sephiroth? first of all, Lance Bass' voice does not match sephiroth one bit. Second of all, why would someone pay a big celebrity to do like 2 lines total? i mean sephiroth doesn't really say much at all other than "ugh"
And why are you judging Lance Bass after only "ughs"? I don't even know what's the big deal with Bass doing the voice anyways. You're just hating on him because he was from N' Sync. You don't even know how much he was paid for doing the voice acting. They could easily payed the guy that does Brock's voice on Pokemon. And you wouldn't know his name and could care less.
Just because he was in N' Sync doesn't mean he's not a good voice actor. Look at Mark Hammil. He played Joker to perfection in Batman's animated series.

Actually it doesn't sound like he was saying Lance is a bad voice actor... just that he was a bad choice for Sephiroth...
Anime Fans complaign about poor english dubbing all the time... the only difference between the dubbing in KH and the dubbing in otther games and anime series is that we actually know the name of the voice actor...
why would someone pay a big celebrity to do like 2 lines total?
That's a real no brainer... celebrities sell better
It's a fact of modern life...

I don't really think any of the voice actors for Kingdom Hearts was poorly done at all. The voices matched the characters in my opinion (which I guess wouldn't be hard since the majority of them were disney characters and Disney of course wouldn't let those voices get screwed up).
And true Slayerx, celebraties sell better...but I very much doubt people would buy the game just to hear Lance Bass go "ugh"...not that I have anything against Lance Bass...I didn't even know that he was a voice actor in the game until recently...I was only mainly interested in the voices of the main characters....which I assume most people would be since you hear them talk the most...

one thing that i hope is that the theme song will be better than utada hikaru's hikari, man that song was awesome, that was why i like this game so much
Passion has been looping (opening, single, after battle, and orchestral versions) on my comp for a few days now. IMO it's better than the first, both English and Japanese versions, but that might be just because it is newer... Nobody's commented on it yet, though the song is online, and the music video (not for the game) is pretty good, too. (video.google)
I agree with the voices being done well, but it still pisses some of us off having Aerith and Sephiroth done by pop stars... Well, make that American pop stars, since I would not mind Maaya Sakamoto playing Aerith. ^^
Planning on buying and replaying the first one to 100% completion, though CoM I quickly got tired of. :/
Planning on buying and replaying the first one to 100% completion, though CoM I quickly got tired of. :/
I'm actually considering replaying through KH as well, though with the amount of unfinished games I have sitting around, and my lack of time to play them, I'm not sure if I should. I'm somewhere between 3 and a half to 4 hours through CoM, and I'm getting bored of the card mechanics. I mean, it's nice and all to try to give some strategic value to the game by using different numbered cards and having card breaks, sleights, and 0 valued cards breaking all other cards when used at the right time, but even at the point where I am, it's become a button-mash fest. Honestly, it seems like they should've just not used cards and just had it as an A button = Attack kinda thing, like in KH. Well, that's just me anyways, I still want to get through the game just to find out what happens (I somehow managed to keep from reading spoilers about the game).
And I'd have to agree. As much as I love KH, I wouldn't advocate buying a GBA or DS just for CoM...actually, I'm not sure if I'd advocate buying any system just for one game. But yeah...got my preorder for KHII ready...though the guy working at EB told me they have the game listed for the 30th instead of the 28th... ;-;

Oh, yes. The delays: What made me stop giving a shit about the game.
For me, they've come too late for me to care again. They worked on stupid side-projects instead of working on what people actually gave a crap about. I could've imported it, but by then, I stopped caring 9 months ago. I'm staying away from that over-delayed piece of crap.
If you wnt it, then buy it. If anyone wants me, I'm going to play 9th style by the time you get your precious Kingdom Hearts 2, that is, IF IT ISN'T DELAYED AGAIN. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
-_-' Incase you guys haven't read the Square Enix Press Release on the North American side. Then you would've read that the game is on track for March 28th, 2006. And, just for the record. The game was never delayed. But it was given a spring 2006 release since way back in November 2005. When Square Enix opened the U.S site of Kingdom Hearts II.
I dunno, but to me. This shows that you don't have faith in what Square Enix is capable of doing.

Play and Amazon tend to be rather...optimistic on their release dates. Eurogamer has it down as a second quarter release, so it looks like
Squeenix Europe haven't announced a date yet. It'll probably be a Oct/Nov release with a half-assed conversion to PAL as per usual :eyebrow:

They need to keep some of the old songs like Simple and Clean. :heh:
I need that song on my iPod. :heh:
Well I picked up my copy today and I although I feel bad for starting this game without beating the first it seems to do a little bit of recaping in fragments. I've put in about two hours and since the reviews I've read said the game was pretty easy I set the game on the hardest difficulty which hasn't given me too much problems as of yet but I've only played 2 hours.
The Story is starting out pretty strong and already has me hooked! So far the gameplay has pretty much just consisted of mashing the same button over and over to do a 3 hit attack combo but of course I've only put 2 hours in so things should hopefully open up soon.
and I've already run into my first square character cameo!
It was Vivi from FFIX, and I might add that vivi looks pretty cool with PS2 graphics!
I haven't been following this game much. I saw the commercial for it today and it made me want to buy it sooo bad. It looks extremely fun.
I just got the game a few days ago...
Aeris' voice is definitely not what I had hoped for T^T It was so much better in the first game... Cid sounds like a 60 year old man .___.
I'd say everyone else is alright... and Yuffie's voice is great ^____^
AND THE OPENING IS SOOOO PRETTY! *dies* I much prefer Passions to Sanctuary though... so much more.. authentic XD;;
^^did you know that the lyrics for sanctuary were actually created before the lyrcis for passion? I guess that would technically make santuary the authentic version :heh:
But I do understand how you feel. Afterall, I heard passion first, and grew accustomed to hearing it first. Sanctuary feels rather awkward to listen to at the moment.

Just completed it. Not exactly a classic title like Terranigma or Chrno Trigger, but it's definitely a highly enjoyable series.
There's technical flaws here and there, such as a slightly unbalanced pace, lack of villian development, over-compressed worlds, a bit of knowledge lost without playing Final Mix and Chain of Memories, but it's all great.
My only complaint is one thing that could've made the game better on a grander scale. It's technically spoiler, but no one who never played the game's first 3 to 5 hours can't tell what it is anyway.
<rant>KH II should've been done in a dual-perspective.</endrant>
It'd would've made more sense on why the Sora that was able to match Xemnas in KH I was weaker in II other than just drowsiness and muscle mass loss, it'd would've allowed further development of the less developed Jyuusankikan rather than just a bunch of humanlike Nobodies, it'd make for an epic Roxas vs Sora battle somewhere later in the game, it'd allow Roxas to be more developed as he regains his memories bit by bit rather than just a 3 hour angst machine, it'd would've allowed different interactions with established Disney/HB worlds rather than just reunions, ETC ETC ETC

Haven't been following up with the discussion, but I'll say one thing:
The game rocked. Everything. Storyline, gameplay and plot.
Although I haven't kept up with Chain of Memories and other storyline sources, the story seems to leave everything in place at the end.
How long is this game? I know the first one was pretty long.

O RLY?
I'm not exactly happy though. Aside from Journal entries, they never explained why the hell is
Jyuusankikan's members cut by half in KH II, Sora's relationship to Namine, how Riku and the King knew each other and became close comrades, the Xenohart within Riku, Sora's memories of when he's in Castle Oblivion, Sora's dissapeared thanks towards Namine, Riku's mix of light and dark, why he donned XIII robes, etc etc etc.
Not to mention Sora NEVER thanked Namine. Namine's true feelings were supposed to be meant for Sora, not Roxas. I was so looking forward to Sora recovering his CoM memories and thanking Namine, but it's like they decided to change it and make it Roxas and Namine instead, when they barely knew each other.
The tease at the end of CoM of Sora's immersed hidden memories returning to light never helped one bit.
Despite my rants, it's still a great game. It's not what it'd could've been, but still good.
How long is this game? I know the first one was pretty long.
25 to 30 hours for the story game alone. 10 for all those extras, me thinks. Some of those mini-game requirements are pretty tough.
It could've been like 10 hours longer for the story, had Square Enix not decide to tone down the movie stories of Disney though. I was dissapointed at the way they handled the Pride Lands story. The emotional impact of the movie totally dissapeared. It doesn't help the movie's greatest scenes were toned down to an oblivion.

Yep, but everyone heard Passion before Sanctuary so that's why people are more use ta the sound of it and Passion also has background vocals and stuff that aren't in Sanctuary's mix which gives it a different feeling.
I for one though like both versions of the song cause I find it nice when the singer of the song can do them in other languages and actually come out understandable, and well the KH series was what got me into Utada Hikaru so I love just about anything she does.
As for the game it was awesome and I beat it in 3 days..lol.

Even if I hadn't heard Passion first, Sanctuary would have still sounded horrible.
I should know, Utada Hikaru -can- and -has- put out bad music before.
Sanctuary has a lot of problems with having to over-stretch or over-repeat syllables of the lyrics to match the melody. The poor singing quality, trying to copy Passion's melody too much without doing the same voice manipulations, just doesn't work.

Equip Elixirs. And always keep Curaga and Elixirs ready to use. ANYTIME. Especially during the HP/MP 1 technique.
Evade his firewall technique with speed and distance. If you're lucky, try to score one or 2 hits, but anymore isn't worth getting flamed.
It's better if you have Ultima Weapon.
Get ready to react to his multi-hit fast strike. Those are vital to get a lot of damage into his opening.
And GET READY TO AIR COMBO him everytime he tries to air combo you. That's a difference maker in half of your life.
Last but not least, luck. You'll need it. I beat him on the 3rd try, with all my elixirs depleted. Sure wasn't easy.

YA RLY :P
It's like I said, I haven't kept with the story, but just by playing halfway through the first one and beating the second one, I can tell that pretty much what happens "behind scenes" is never mentioned in the game.
We learn that Riku transformed into Ansem to use the power of darkness and help Sora after his loss to Roxas. Though they talk about it, I can't remember any insight into why and how this happens. You know it's happened but you have no idea how.
Still, I must say that since Ocarina of Time, which I beat over 5 years ago, I had never spent more than 40 minutes playing a game on my consoles. In the case of Kingdom Hearts, I spent 2 days playing for over 13 hours.

I hated the US-version of the song, and I think anyone who likes to be faithful to anime/games didn't like it as well.
By the way, I have a few questions for you guys. I have a research paper due the end of this month, and I'm planning on doing it on stereotyping over games and anime. We all know that some of us will not buy/do something that we might have heard has something we dislike, right? Well, this is where KH enters. Personally I was very skeptical about the game because it had Disney characters in it. Same thing with Rozen Maiden: it's an anime about dolls. Still, both series surprised me a lot in how things came out. KH has an awesome storyline (IMO, of course.) that blends in with the stories I don't really like from Disney. And RM is dramatic and really brings the dolls to a more-than-alive level.
So, my question is, did you feel not very interested in Kingdom Hearts because of its Disney-blended storyline, or anything like that?
Beat the game two days ago on Proud Mode. All I have to say is this game rocks and the hints toward the next games really get you thinking. LOVE IT!! :love: The artwork is wonderful both the concept art and the 3D modeling was really well done for this game.
I've beaten Sephiroth who was tough but not unbeatable and as for the mini-games I'm at 97% completion.
Question: How do you unlock the last two Paradox Tournements in the Coliseum? For some reason they won't open for me.
As for Utada's new song, I like it. I haven't heard the orginal yet so I can't compare it. But still it's great.
So what does everybody think of the secret movie? Rather interesting isn't it. Wonder what's going to happen next. With the official ending and the secret movie it looks as if there will be two games in the works.

You have to level up ALL of your drive modes and summon up to level 7. It's pretty time consuming because each drive has different requirements to level up:(

Thank you for the info. :) Luckily I already have all the Forms leveled all the way up. Those are so much fun. It wasn't too hard to level them once you figure it out. Love that Final Form of his. :D
But the Summon's level being 7 too? Ah jeez that's the one I use the least, lol. Well that means I'll be using Stitch and Genie a lot more for a while. My summons are currently at level 2. :heh:

I belive some people thought that the Secret ending of KH1 didn't have much to do with the current game either.
Still, some speculate about KH3 (What else could we think with such scene?), but that's another story and something I don't wanna talk about now. (Hell, only two weeks after it was released in the US. It might take some time for a third one to come out.)

I belive some people thought that the Secret ending of KH1 didn't have much to do with the current game either.
Still, some speculate about KH3 (What else could we think with such scene?), but that's another story and something I don't wanna talk about now. (Hell, only two weeks after it was released in the US. It might take some time for a third one to come out.)
The difference in opinions lie in the fact that most fans believe that Sora's story is "over" in KH II. Every question posed in KH I was eventually solved, and left it with a somewhat "feel good" ending, minus that letter in the end.
And some don't like the idea that...Sora, Riku and argubly Kairi are dressed in suits of armour like Judges along with the fact that the weilder of the Keyblade are no longer "special", since war surely involves more than a few dozen people. In the whole KH, only Sora, Roxas, Riku, Mickey and argubly the Princesses are able to weild the Keyblade.
And you and I differ in our opinion of KH II having a good story is probably because I played the KH saga in it's entirety, like Final Mix and CoM. CoM raised the standard of story-telling and questions that should've been answered in KH II, but all KH II did imo was dealing with KH I's questions.
Meh, I probably have too high of a standard of stories, since stories are my Holy Grail in everything from anime to games. (( Which is the only reason why I even bothered to tolerate playing Drakengard 2 for it's 3 endings. ))

what i can think of from the secret video is Judge from FF12 ( its realy looks the same you know! )
and F/S N UBW (again~ rip off~) :p
it would be totally cool to have this kind of keyblade in KH2 :cool:

Just completed the game, and let me sya that it was awesome, heck although I find it more interesting playing it without playing Chain of Memories because it gets you thinking what happens. BTW, the looks of the preview after the ending of KH II suggests that it focuses on the Keyblade itself, something that is not talked about much in KH I and II.
currently level 85 snd beat the game once but..
Im still desperately completing that crappy jimmy journal for the secret video.... >_>
what level did you guys completed the proud mode? was there realy a big different from normal mode ?
I leveled all the way up to 99 on Proud Mode. I did that for one, to max everything out and two to beat Sephiroth on a level that would stand a chance against him. No matter what he's still tough to beat. And the only big difference like the others have said is how to get the secret ending and also the enemies are a little stronger.
Currently I'm working on the last Paradox Tournament, got all the way up to round 43 and ended up losing. Man, the enemies get tougher as the tournament drags on.
Yeah it was obvious that it was those three especially since Kairi was able to wield that Keyblade that Riku gave to her. I have no issue that's those three I like those three characters. I would like to see them older and to see their journey continue. It's interesting to see that it's much further into the future and it's more of a war between the Keyblade bearers. What I believe they are also hinting at is that somewhere along the lines there will be a full explanation of how the Keyblade came to be. Especially with the line of "birth by sleep". It does seem it will focus on the keyblade's history but hopefully it won't stray from the main characters. Curious how KH3 is going to turn out, can't wait. :)

So, my brother and sister got the game. I have noticed something: This game is almost begging to be MSTed. With sure voices and dialogue, it'd be hard not to make fun of the cinemas. One of the people for Organization XIII sounds like he's really high, puberty kicked Sora in the throat with no mercy, and other stuff, y'know? *snicker*
I would play it, but the epilogue turns me off. I don't want to play as Roxas. He's such a faggy-boy and I want him to burn in hell. There's another reason: my sister threatened me to leave the PS2 at home instead of taking it to my dad's overnight.

I actually found Sora's voice to fit the character pretty well (US version, that is. Haven't played the JP), specially since in the game's timeline it's passed a year since the first game.

Mind you, Sora's voice is still Haley Joel Osment, so I guess it's equally as fitting that seeing as Sora aged, so did Haley Joel.

I would have preferred they actually hired an actor that has already had a voice change rather than Osment - if I recall, the JP voices never changed, as Sora already had a post-pubescent voice. Osment sounds almost exactly like him now, too - but I wish he had always sounded like that.

ouch when riku got hit on the side from ansem.
i hope there is a kh3.. =
in spoiler tags just in case....an actual interview with nomura.
After the ending, there's a secret movie this time, too. What exactly is the movie trying to tell?
I actually have a solid idea on what the movie's setting will be in my head. In the previous game's secret movie, I wasn't even sure if I would be making a sequel or not, so some parts of it were quite vague. But this time I already have an idea my head where I think "This is it."
Around the end there was a scene where a character that's not Sora (Kairi) held a keyblade, so does that mean they have the nature to be a Chosen One?
I wonder? There are still more backgrounds of the keyblade that haven't been revealed. I'm still going around that, so I can't say anything much about it. But it's true that scene is hinting something.
The secret movie had something to do with keyblades, too.
Yes. I wanted to hide the faces of the people who showed up in there.
Did that scene happen in the future or in the past?
I would at least say it's an episode in the past, but.... Hmm, how should I say this? It's in the past but you can also think it's in the future, something like that.
Does that mean the players know of these people?
I just haven't drawn their faces. (laugh) I can't hide their faces with black hoods like in KH:FM's secret movie, too. Who knows what kind of grudges I'll invite if I just change the hood's colour. (laugh) That's why I chose armours. First I only drew the atmosphere and the rest is done by the staff. But FF12 has Judge in armour so I made a more heroic design for them.
Who are the 3 armoured people? (In a More Recent Interview)
Those 3 are completely new people who haven't shown up at all. In fact, I've already thought of their names. Back when I was making that movie, I only had their settings but now I've even drawn their faces to give myself a clearer image of them.
The king, Sora and Riku's keyblades were there, too.
It's to show that those three armoured people aren't them but that doesn't mean they don't have connections. The words "Keyblade War" that showed up in the middle were to implicate that there were fights between Keyblades. Most of the puzzles in the first KH have been solved in KHII but there are many things about the Keyblade that haven't been revealed yet. A line from the previous game's Ansem Report #8 appeared in the movie but that is to say "It means this but it's not explained yet."
Does that mean you already have a plot for KHIII?
Hmm... I have an idea but it can't be helped because my team are planning to work on our next different title. So we're not working on KHIII now and we're not planning to work on it for some time, too. I have a plot in my head but I'm not sure if it'll be released to the world or just stay in there.
Hey...I just started playing KH2 tonight and I need an answer about the difficulty levels.
I'm not sure whether to stick with hard or switch to normal.
I played the original KH on hard but never finished it....I got stuck around the point where Beast fights with you...it just got to the point where tons of leveling seemed necessary...that or uncanny playing skill. So I don't want a difficulty that will prevent me from playing the game.
That said, I've heard a lot of reviewers saying that KH2 is too easy. In fact, one review talked about how they button-mashed on normal without looking at the screen and often found that they'd won fights. I like some challenge and don't mind some leveling. I play most games on hard and breeze through them....as I've heard some say, "hard is the new normal."
It would seem I should just go with hard, right? Thing is (swallow pride), I'm having some difficulty with the first boss on hard (pride mode). Now...the game doesn't give any opportunities to really level before this, so my guess is that future difficulties can be eased with some leveling. Still, should I stick with hard if I'm having difficulties here? Is normal as easy as reviewers say?
MODS: I'd put this in the KH2 thread, but it reeks of spoilers....even stuff that isn't in spoiler boxes.

Having trouble with the first boss even on Proud?
Even though Sora's somewhat easier to use compared to Roxas, I'd say you're better off playing Easy or Normal. While this game does indeed need less of a levelling compared to KH, it all boils down to how good you are with action games and your reaction time.
And the only reason this game looks somewhat easier is due to Forms and Single button reactions. If this game has multi-button reactions, it'd be way harder.
hmm.....nevermind...I just realized that you could make enemies respawn by leaving the area. after 5-10 minutes of leveling, he was nothing.
Mods...I guess you can close this....sorry for the bother

Earth day, Day one, Razer's log:
Due to my laziness to use a mod to play IIDX, I played KH2 for three hours. I am not past the part of playing Roxas, or as my siblings and I dubbed him, "Faggy boy". I am grateful for being done playing Faggy boy, and perhaps the game will go uphill from this point onward. There are too many cinemas throughout the game, and I am forever grateful
for the "Skip scene" option, for it has saved me much time.
The new Gummi Ship challanges are quite fun this time around instead of annoying. I am amazed by the work they put into traveling from world-to-world for the sequel. I am greatly impressed by the improvement.

Just Finished the game. Thoughts:
1) Like the reviews online have stated, the battles have losed a bit of their spark from the first KH1. I'm not exactly sure why, there's alot more going on screen, more abilities (less magic and summons though, but i didn't use them much in no.1 anyway), enemies are not as "push over" as the reviews suggest (not hard though). I think for hardcore fans (i.e me and I guess everyone else here) this small thing won't matter, like, it's not as if the battles sucked. I'm also not sure about the whole camera issue, In both 1 and 2, i'd never needed to adjust the camera. Ever.
2) AWESOME, I repeat, AWESOME story. This alone kept me going late into the night. It was well worth the initial confusion to continue and beat the game.
3) Animations. In game was probably just a step foward, Opening and Ending were pretty giant leaps. Thumbs up.
4) Gummi ship is ALOT better than before.
5) Liked how the characters "grew" and not just Sora (i.e Cloud).
The awesome and the very intriguing plot alone made this game one of my favourites ever. But it didn't go as high up on my list as i would have hoped, that's because of the battle system and the linear way in which the game plays (alot more linear than in Kh1 and that was linear too).
Still, I have no regrets pouring 27 or so hours into the game (I did most of the side quest stuff, but not every single one) and would happily do it again.
Sadly I didn't get the secret ending (so i have no idea what the last few pages of posts are on about). But, I hope there is a KH3, because it's such a great idea (disney vs square-enix) and it'd give the makers a chance to get everything perfect, not to mention how awesome it'd be on PS3.
This game is still not out yet in the Netherlands. I believe we have to wait till the end of october. I want to play it so bad.

Seriously, having to go through the entire scenes when you die just SUCK. Example is When you're in Ravine Trail, fighting that guy with the guitar and the water clones. It's like, 5 minutes of chatting between Sora and Mickey..

I personally thought battles were -more- dynamic than before - there's a level of interactivity that wasn't there before. In the first game, battles were little more than mashing the X (or O for imports) key - even the added specials in Final Mix were little more than randomly-activating tack-ons to standard combos. KH2 had a much larger degree of variety - not only with the interactivity prompts, but with the ability to use different attacks within combos - I had fun coming up with custom strings, alternating between the X (O) and Square keys to keep things from getting boring.

Yeah, agree 100%. I got bored of playing KH1 pretty fast. However, with KH2 it's another story. Even in low levels Sora manages to get some pretty lenghty combos, and the skills to throw your opponent in the air and CONTINUE with an air combo were just awesome. Even the shortcuts. In KH1 you could only add spells to the shortcuts, but in Kh2 you can also add items, which helps a lot if you're on a pinch.

It does. Yet I heard that the Hades cup was terrible. 50 fights, 49 are hard-medium and yet the last one (Against Hades) was pretty easy.
@Tia. Nice Riku avatar guessing you like him to Yay another Riku fan ^^
Aw thanks, I love my avy too. :) Yes, I am a first and foremost a Riku fan then Sora. He's so cool and his character background and story are nicely thought out. He's a character who welcomed his darkness and is coping and controling it and is winning. He has great friends (especially Sora, Kairi and Mikey) that care for him deeply so he won't slip into the depths of evil. Sorry, had a moment. :p
Still working on the Paradox Hades Cup Lvl. 99. Argh that's a pain. Now currently playing KH:COM on the GBA. Just got it actually. I wanted to see exactly how the rest of Orginization XIII got dropped down to half it's members, plus I want to battle them. That and I hear there's a nice spoiler about Riku in it too.
Oh also I don't know if anyone heard or not but Nomura will be having something special happening about KHIII and KH in general at E3 06 in May. Curious what's going to happen. Read that at Gamespot.

My comment was more the fact that the combat (to me) lost sparkle because:
1) Till Kh1 i hadn't played many action-rpg's before, so the constant battle system was new to me. The original shock that it wasn't turn based really made KH1 special to me. Obviously over time and after playing more games like this (Devil May Cry and God of War which both have much deeper combat) the initial Impact is kind of gone now.
2) If you take the essential combat attacks required to beat the game, then your basically stuck to the button X and the occasional triangle for reaction. The other combat tricks are just what they are, tricks. It's not that they lack depth or anything, it's just that since they are never a requirement to beat the game, most players wouldn't take the time to use them. The reason I like this combat system in kh2 less than Kh1 (though i really like both) is because Kh1 had bosses which required certain combat skills (like magic).
But yeah, like i said before, I think this game is great. In some aspects much better than the first and other aspects not as good. But because the first was the first (so i got the initial wow factor with the fusion of disney and FF characters. Aswell as the combat system) and the not-so linear aspect of the worlds, I like KH1 more.

Razer's log. Day 5.
My total gameplay hours are above 17, but however, due to the garage work, I have spent over 5 of those hours pausing.
I just completed Port Town (or whatever it's called). Once again, some close calls, but an overall easy battle. I could not help but notice that the worlds are shorter and the bosses are easier. Even on Proud mode I have yet to get an ass-kicking. The many world's that came back infuriate me because it seems lazy at times. There are plenty more Disney movies that they could base worlds off of. They could've used Snow White or The Sword and the Stone. Hell, even The Black Cauldron would make the game feel newer and more original than the first. Instead, we get Treasure Island and movies named "NOT The Emperor's New Groove". Although, I will have to forgive them since the world's have more detail and story behind them that you have to go back for (which is pretty sweet).
By the way, the battle system kicks some ass and takes some names.
End transmission.
P.S. After playing for three days, my IIDX skills have gone down a bit. Now I am having trouble beating Spica 7K again and now I can only C Quasar 7K instead of a high B. I was so damn close to an A.

and seal all the keyholes or you can do standard and complete all of jimminy's journal. On easy you can't get it. also if you want the final form you need to first beat memory's skyscraper and then you will randomly turn into it and obtain it.

I dunno- I am playing on Proud mode; the game got WAY easier after the first couple of hours. I never die at this point (just got to the TRON world) and I almost wish it was a tad bit tougher.
I've been completing the extra challenges as I go- they really don't seem that bad, and I very much enjoy the colloseum. If you think they're that bad, I'm guessing they get harder later in the game? At this point, I'm definitely aiming for 100% completion.

Yet that adds to the game, gives it a replay value. Since most people will play it on standard the first time around, alot will attempt to finish the journal to get the Secret Ending. Personally, the game doesn't really have any replay value other then completing the journal, because 1) the prelude is... MMMMM... to do over again, 2) once you know what's going on, it's not fun to go through it all over again.

U can't go past lvl 99 but heres a tip that i got from a friend
Have alot of elixers and if you can get the ultima wepon it helps.
Also be ready for the move where he says"Sin..Heartless angel!"
That is when sephorith flys in the air and also on proud mode it is very
easy to get the secret ending like you said. Thats all i got on sephiroth sorry...
I have a heads up for everyone that can;t get to Sephrioth when he does that attack. LEVEL UP YOUR MASTER AND VALOR FORM. That way you will obtain the High Jump abilities. You will reach Sephrioth and prevent him from making that attack. It is very helpful to fight him with the Ultima Weapon, and also it is very helpful to have the ability "Beserk" and counterguard. But itf you got that far, I am sure you all have that.
If anyone has any further questions about defeating sephrioth, I might be able to help. However I have a question of my own. How do you obtain the secret ending? Do you have to complete all of Jummy's Journal??

You can't get it on easy mode you must do standard or proud.
If you do standard you have to seal all holes and complete Jimminy's journal.
although may i recommend proud mode where all you have to do to get the secret ending is beat the game.
Hope i helped!:D
aww that sucks, well thank you so much anyways.

Yeah it was obvious that it was those three especially since Kairi was able to wield that Keyblade that Riku gave to her. I have no issue that's those three I like those three characters. I would like to see them older and to see their journey continue. It's interesting to see that it's much further into the future and it's more of a war between the Keyblade bearers. What I believe they are also hinting at is that somewhere along the lines there will be a full explanation of how the Keyblade came to be. Especially with the line of "birth by sleep". It does seem it will focus on the keyblade's history but hopefully it won't stray from the main characters. Curious how KH3 is going to turn out, can't wait. :)
The difference in opinions lie in the fact that most fans believe that Sora's story is "over" in KH II. Every question posed in KH I was eventually solved, and left it with a somewhat "feel good" ending, minus that letter in the end.
And some don't like the idea that...Sora, Riku and argubly Kairi are dressed in suits of armour like Judges along with the fact that the weilder of the Keyblade are no longer "special", since war surely involves more than a few dozen people. In the whole KH, only Sora, Roxas, Riku, Mickey and argubly the Princesses are able to weild the Keyblade.

The next game may not be KH3. I can't claim that I know what is happening for sure, but Tetsuya Nomura did state that he has ideas for KH3 in his head, but that him and the staff are tied up with "a different game." It's possible (and probable) that said game is the game related to the secret ending.
KH3 will continue the story of Sora/Riku/Kairi, regardless of if there is another game/what the other game is about. Tetsuya Nomura stated that "Kingdom Hearts" is a story about Sora, specifically about Sora (and not the keyblade, etc, etc).
It seems to me that the next game will be largely related to Xehanort, what happened to him *before* Ansem found him, and the keyblade. I've seen some pretty interesting theories floating around about the secret ending to KH2.
Hopefully I didn't post anything that's already been said; and if I did, feel free to hit me over the head with Ultima Weapon D:
Lastly...
At TWTNW, when you fight Luxord and Saïx, you will notice Zexion's "grave" is smashed where it shows his weapon. Tetsuya Nomura said that this would be a spoiler...Well...
I'm willing to bet it's a keyblade! If this is so, then maybe, just maybe..."memories of xehanort" really means "memories of another" and Nomura did this to through us off.

I thought beating sephiroth was easy :O One way is to spam Break command like crazy (least that worked for me) Break is in the Trinity Limit, and get a bunch of stuff lvlved as high possibly can. Of course you can just do it the hard way which is heal hit and run like crazy :O. You know his sin harvest angel thingie? where he gets your hp to one and mana to zero? well, you can either A) use elixer B) or use Curaga right as the Sin Angel thing goes off, your mana is zero but you retain your health.

I promise at the very least, that it's not THAT bad. Give it a chance. You might like it. Many gameplay scenes are used, but only the more cinematic parts of gameplay. Anyways, if you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. :p
All footage was captured/ripped by me. No trailer footage was used AT ALL.
I said to myself I wasn't going to look at any spoilers but now I wish I had. I have just completed it but i never got the ultima weapon or the final form. :(
Just got a mesage in a bottle from the king. And Kairi is hot. :p
Completion of Jimmy's journal only 90%
Gummi routes 9%!
Antiform 3 times.
Most used summon = Stitch. :D
Guess I better do it again...
