Too bad NA's can't play it without a JP/modded PS2...and my modded ps2 died, so unless they release it in the states I guess i'm screwed heh. Ohhhh and it's coming out next month too, damn japanese people. ;;

EDIT: Zexion gets lines! sexy!...so it's basically COM with VO's and PS2 graphics + KH2? heh.

And holy smokes @ Marluxia's scythe lol... but how is Sora fighting him in KH2 if he already died in COM?

[Charla]

Prequel/time travel? Flashback? Resurrection?

[Vandole]

this better get released in america, this looks like win doused in pwn sauce.
Oh yeah. time to download as soon as it comes out~~

[Exoduso]

Sigh, it sucks that the PS3 doesn't play the PS2 games region free... would've made this a lot easier, seeing how my PS2 is dead and so I can't even download it.

And it seems like it's a 2 CD set, one for re:COM, and one for KH2:FM, which seems to have a fuckload of new areas/scenes from this video.

I just hope they actually do release it in america, seeing how KH's larger fanbase is in the states.

[Akiyama]

Sora + Marluxia's scythe = win. Zexion is awesome too.

Also, the Sora vs Roxas fight that can be played out, now that looks like fun, unlike the Sephiroth fight of 2 which disappointed me due to it's simplicity. Either way, I use the Flip Top + Disc for my import games, I just might have to get this. >.>

[Huggo]

Region coding is the most evil shit ever concocted by man.

[Ace-o-fire]

unless theres more story, i really wouldn't care. i just want KH3 stop wasting time on these damn other game things.

edit:
Wiki- "In a Weekly Shonen Jump interview with Nomura, the Kingdom Hearts creator expressed interest in a possible international version of Kingdom Hearts II, although there were no definite plans. He said that should a "Final Mix" version arise, he has a "trump card" in mind, with such features as the Mushroom Heartless found in the first Kingdom Hearts.[13] In September 2006, Square Enix announced they would develop Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+, featuring new scenes and gameplay elements.

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ is a 2-disc set. The first disc contains Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, which added content including extra cutscenes and optional bosses to Kingdom Hearts II. The second disc contains Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, a 3D PS2 version remake of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories with Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts' graphics, extra scenes, and voiceover for particular scenes. The battle system continues the card gameplay, with the addition of using Reaction Commands.[14] The game will be released in Japan on March 29th, 2007.[15] Several independent sources state that a release in North America will occur in Fall 2007[16], with no confirmation from Square Enix."

Oh my

[Jimmayus]

He's fighting marluxia because in FM+ you get to fight all the org. members you killed in CoM, this time with KH2's battle style

[6souls]

<3 the music, the visuals are nice, too.

That doesn't make sense. The first half of the video shows Re: COM, which is the first cd in what seems to be a 2-disc set... you play through COM with PS2 graphics and VO's... the 2nd part of the video if the 2nd cd, KH2: FM, which is basically KH2 with added scenes/areas it seems (and mushrooms! zomg!)... it doesn't really make sense that he fights Marluxia as KH2 Sora (take a look at his clothes)...maybe it's some flashback, or maybe Marluxia comes back somehow who knows (or MAYBE, you can just fight all of them as many times as you want in the graveyard in TWTNW....)

Either way I think it looks like they added a crapload to KH2: FM, and I'm just praying that SE confirms a NA release date (it would only make sense because, again, most of KH's fans are based in the Americas.)

New Famitsu interview in four parts
by Tomogirl on 09 Feb 2007 @ 05:49 pm

A member from the Japanese forum, 2ch, has recorded down an interview from a recent issue of Famitsu.

Images shown: illustration, Sora's Limit Form (Strike Raid, Dodge Roll, and Ragnarok), and Sora's other forms.

Interview Part 1
• VS. Marluxia (The reaction command...), VS Lexeaus, all Org. 13, 13 mushrooms, new maps (Addition to Hollow Bastion), and additional cut-scenes (member of the Organization and the mystery man of armor)
• Nomura feels that the 10 million break-through hasn't sprung yet.
• Is the reason that KH is accepted is because it's viewed from an operation sense?
• Because a mode of a higher level of Proud is added, it will be satisfaction to anyone who wants to play through it thoroughly.
• Since the feelings of "I wanted to use the ability of the previous work" were strong, the Limit From was added in.

Interview Part 2
• It's possible to fight with the Org. member who was knocked down by this volume.
• Marluxia uses the sentence of death, and gives you full attention because he attacks Sora continuously.
• In the VS. Lexeaus' battle, it's important to be be constant, and when he collects, is discharged by the POWER gauge very quickly.

Interview Part 3
• Mushroom is happy. (laughs) (O_o)
• The color of the enemies, discolors, just like in KH:FM.
• If the abilities are not put to good use, an additional map that leads to the deepest part of the world isn't shown.
• Making an additional map becomes complicated.
• The development of the cut-scene with the man in armor is to be a surprise.
• Nomura thought that if the new Secret Movie is seen, it'll only confuse the players more, and the condition of seeing it is severe (or very important).
• Xigbar's words will give players an advance hint.
• "I think the new KH project will be shown in some form by that time that it will be announced by the end of this year."
• By the way, the time is being adjusted.
• Other published images shown: Re:CoM's Sora, Namine, Vexen, Axel, Oogie Boogie, and the new map gimmick.

Interview Part 4
• As for the gimmick, the one that's better than the first project is made.
• It might be made more powerful than the original game, and the current strategy isn't to run to the Org. member.
• "I think I'm pleased with not just the pre-order privilege but also with the fans."

I think EGM had said either this month or last that it was coming to NA.

[Exoduso]

SE never confirmed it, so whoever mentioned it(especially in a magazine...) is a retard.

[finale23]

i want to see the key blade graveyard and warriors again, and hopefully the story behind the finally cutscene of the KH2.

Looking back now, don't those 3 chars look like FF12's Judges? lol.

And after beating FF9, that guy walking towards them has these weird clothes hanging from either side of him, doesn't he look a bit like Kuja? lol.

Probably a long shot, but it's fun guessing since Nomura is keeping it all hush hush.

if memory serves, they were all in plate armors and helms. 2 guys and a gal. yea speculations' fun and all, but i am sure we want some explanations to that scene.

[Exoduso]

Just go to youtube and watch it again... after playing through FF12, they look a lot like Judge Magisters.
