KHII Final Mix information galore!!! NOTE!!!! THE FM SECRET ENDING HAS BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC!!! READ HERE!

sorry for the double post but i couldnt show both on one post so heres the second keyblade



the mushroom keyblade

The names of the female knight and young male knight (B.H.S) are Aqua and Ven respectively.

source at : www.khinsider.com

found the new keyblade stats and a walkthrough of the cavern of rememberance:
Mushroom Heartless Keyblade: (Note: Not the real name)
Attack: 5
Magic: 7
Equipped Ability: EXP 0 (Disables gain of experience and levelling up)

Roxas' Keyblade: (Note: Not the real name.)
Attack: 5
Magic: 4
Equipped Ability: Raises chances of driving into Anti Form.

For Comparing:
Ultima Weapon:
Attack: 6
Magic: 4

Also, the new area in Hollow Bastion is reached by the second save point near the laboratory.
You go in a hole in the mountain, and drop down, and reach Cavern of Rememberance. The music playing on the official KH2FM+ website, is the battle song in this area. They aren't joking when they say be around lvl 99. These heartless are deadly.

Once you get to the end, you find the Cavern of Rememberance: Mine Shaft. You have to use platforming insticts to reach a secret area of this cave, and progress. There are many confusing routes and passages in these caves. After a lot of platforming and clever use of abilities, you reach the Engine Room. This leads you back outside. Seems to be a hidden place outside the mountains in Hollow Bastion.

Once out of here, you lead to a white looking area with a new looking command menu. It's called Transport to Rememberance. Passing through this area with many strong nobodies, you reach the Garden of Assemblage, which is where the Organization Data Portals rest. Go down the steps, and through the door at the bottom, and you reach the Restoration Area which is connected to the Bailey.

Statement

As a lot of you know [now], I made contact with Neil, the guy responsible for those replies we get from the Support address [at the Square Enix Website]. He wanted to explain the KH2FM+ situation to me. You can see those emails here. we made arrangements to talk today via phone, and I’ve just finished talking with him.

I’m enlightened and thrilled.

”The List”
The list (Monkey Note: Square Enix Support began to ask people if they wanted their name added to a list for any "further announcements on KH2: FM+) was put together by Neil for interest, to gather names. For whatever reason, this wasn’t going to work.

North America and the Mixes
The first game was not brought over because they believed that selling the American version to North America again was pointless. True, KH2 FM isn’t much different from the first, but it’s Re:COM that’s giving it the best shot of being brought over.

He thinks that KH2FM+ should come, and he says that all his coworkers and higher ups all want it to come too. So they’re in the same boat as us, really.

This Campaign
...Oh ho. They walk among us, people. They just aren’t allowed to reply.

They’ve been getting huge numbers of email - he described it as “Extravagant”, and while the figures I’ve been told before - 150k - were off, he says there’s no true way to track the sheer number of emails that have been sent. Shortly put, yes, it is in demand. Great demand.

And it’s all going to the Marketing Department, and is going to be shipped off to Japan. They are currently waiting for the reply from Japan, but he made this very, very clear to me:

While there is no definite “yes” [yet], there IS NO SOLID NO YET.

Square-Enix is still considering this, and there has been no final decision on whether it’s leaving Japan or not.

(And the hold music is freakin’ sweet)

Support
...I promise we’re in good hands!

He said that some people on board mentioned that it’s a prewritten response (Monkey Note: It is generally the belief among many that the replies Square-Enix Support sends back to users is a prewritten message.) from Support - they are generally NOT prewritten. They have a basic mail and then he tailors the reply to the individual. He has no way of typing out every single email - “my fingers would fall off” but he does try. Neil is there for customer support, five days a week, can tell us anything. He wants to make his replies more personal, though, to cater to the people writing.

That said, he said I shouldn’t discourage you guys from writing, but we probably shouldn’t be spamming. Don’t spam, guys.

Conclusion
Cheer, yippee, hurrah, and cross your fingers, my dears Spread the word, if you please - we're not done this yet, and there's still hope. They're always hope.

Much much much much MUCH thanks to our hero, Neil. It means the world!

Not sure if this has been said yet...

Square Enix Japan, via Studio BentStuff (their official book publisher in Japan) have today released the cover for the Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ Ultimania.

The book itself is to be released on May 2nd for the price of 1700 yen and will measure in at a whopping 512 pages.

Information provided by KHinsider, which was tranlated from Kingdom Hearts 2:Final Mix Ultimania.

Awesome new info about KH3 is here!! Source: www.kingdomhearts3.net

((The E.S. soldiers name is Terra! (why is guy named Terra?)))

TheWertle has struck again! This time with an excellent interview with Tetsuya Nomura from Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Ultimania called “Scenario Mysteries”, in which he confirms the Enigmatic Soldier’s name as Terra!

In Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+, many mysteries are answered but many new mysteries are also born.

In this version, things relating to additional scenes are included, but during the story there are some questions that pop up, so we’ll see if Nomura can point us in the right direction.

Question: In the original Kingdom Hearts, the King searches for a Keyblade in the Realm of Darkness, but when he meets Ansem the Wise, is the Realm of Light Keyblade he has the one that Sora is currently using?

Nomura: No. The King has the ability to use Keyblades from both the Realms of Darkness and of Light. This is an important point - There isn’t just one Keyblade from each world, but just as many as there are people with qualified hearts.

Question: During the meetings, the members of Organization XIII are sitting in chairs. Is the height of these chairs determined by things like their skills and abilities?

Nomura: No. The height of the chairs is not fixated - They move. That is to say that the height is up to each person. The leader, Xemnas, is always the highest, and to be at the same height as him would give that member a pretty bad feeling, so the other members wouldn’t do that. *Laughs*

Question: At the end of Sora and Riku’s stories in Re: Chain of Memories, Roxas looks back while Hayner and the rest are walking and eating ice-cream, and without seeming to care, Hayner and the others continue walking. Is this because they can’t see Roxas?

Nomura: Well it’s just because they don’t know Roxas that they don’t notice him, not because they can’t see him. At that time, right after Xemnas explains Roxas’ name, Axel says to leave things to him. Then, Roxas seems jealous of how Hayner and the others are enjoying themselves while eating ice-cream, and Axel interprets this as him wanting some ice-cream, so he is obliged to go buy him some.

Question: In the real Twilight Town, didn’t Roxas cross paths with Hayner and the others and make aquaintances with them?

Nomura: I suppose. You can think whatever you want about that.

Question: What triggered Roxas’ separation from the Organization?

Nomura: As he kept having recurring dreams of Sora, someone he didn’t know, he felt he needed to leave the Organization to find out who these people he didn’t know were. As Axel didn’t want him to go, he didn’t tell Sora about Roxas in Castle Oblivion, did he?

Question: In Riku’s ending in Re: Chain of Memories, could you tell us the meaning of the scene where the King and Riku are walking together and Riku suddenly plops down.

Nomura: That’s because Riku realized he couldn’t completely get rid of the Darkness inside of him. The King mentioned in Kingdom Hearts II that as Riku held Xehanort’s Heartless in his heart, he disappeared from the King’s sight. It’s a sort of foreshadowing. In this scene, the King’s face looks worried for a moment because he felt that Riku might eventually no longer be there. Riku headed towards DiZ in order to restore Sora’s memories to normal, but in the end, his departure from the King was so that he wouldn’t show his preparations to use the Darkness.

Question: Could you tell us at what point Riku covered his eyes?

Nomura: When he departed from the King. You don’t know after the scene, but in Riku’s ending in Re: Chain of Memories, when he comes to wherever DiZ is, he’s already covered his eyes.

Question: Please confirm some things about Castle Oblivion. In the additional event “The Truth about the Chamber of Sleep”, you can gather from Xigbar and Zexion’s conversation that Castle Oblivion existed in the Inbetween Realm before the birth of the Organization. The Organization then found it and used it for experiments about memories and to look for the Chamber of Awakening, right?

Nomura: Yes. Since their conversation was about Marluxia’s entry, they discovered the Castle before that. In fact, its use, according to Secret Ansem Report 7, was for only 13 Organization Members. Naminé awoke in Castle Oblivion, but as she and Roxas were born at the same time, half of the Organization moved to the Castle.

Question: In the additional event “To Put an End to Everything”, Sora says “It should have been easy to say thanks to Naminé, but I couldn’t say it”. At this point in time, does Sora remember the things that happened with Naminé?

Nomura: If he remembers, it’s because Naminé’s existence was made possible by Sora, and when Naminé and Roxas return to Kairi and Sora, many things were connected. Since Sora never got to say thanks to Naminé, please think of that as a hint.

Question: In the additional event “Farewell to a Friend”, there’s a scene where Axel tells Roxas “You really do have a heart, don’t you”. What is the actual case here?

Nomura: In this scene, it ends bringing up more mysteries about Roxas, so for the answer, maybe take care to follow your hunches well. It’s also related to Xehanort’s memories, but I can’t give any specifics now.

Question: We’d like to inquire about the new secret movie “Birth By Sleep”. In the new event “The Truth about the Chamber of Sleep”, Xigbar mentions a “group that wields Keyblades”. Is he talking about the 3 armored people in the movie?

Nomura: Yes, Xigbar witnessed them when he was a disciple to Ansem the Wise.

Question: The Lingering Sentiment (Enigmatic Soldier) is the same as the armored youth in the movie, but when he fights Sora he mentions “Aqua” and “Ven”. Are those the names of the other 2?

Nomura: Yes, the blue haired girl is Aqua.

Question: What is the armored youth’s name?

Nomura: His name appeared once in code in the 2006 Tokyo Game Show Promotional Video. Also, Ven is actually a nickname, but his real name is a little bit longer. Sora, Riku, and Kairi’s names can be seen as “Sky, Land, and Sea” respectively. The 3 armored people’s names take the shape of different properties of the world, “Water, Wind, and Earth”.

Statement: Ven looks an awful lot like Roxas…

Nomura: I can’t give any specifics about that. He may just resemble him, and if there is a connection, Sora may be related too. What I can say right now is that these mysteries are all connected to the story.

Question: In the beginning, the armored youth’s eyes are blue, but at the end they change to gold. Is this revealing a change in him?

Nomura: I can’t give specifics about this either… I think everyone’s imaginations are pretty capable so please try and anticipate a lot of things.

Translated by TheWertle. I edited and corrected spelling and grammar.

In the photo below, it shows a screenshot of the code that flowed across the screen for a moment during the Promotional Video at the Tokyo Game Show 2006. It has been decoded as:
“Master Xehanort’s Avenger, his name is Terra.”

“Not yet awakened, he is connected to those two.”

The reason his name is Terra, terra is Spanish for Earth. Let me try something.

Sora- Sky Riku- Land Kairi- Ocean

Ven- Wind Terra- Earth Aqua- Water

It's a little something I found somewhere.

Hello again! Some nice tidbits today I think. From an anonymous source, (I honestly do not know where this information was pulled from) KHV's Xaldin has uncovered a nice translation of a "Future Kingdom Hearts Project" Trailer shown at the Square Enix Party. The trailer provides some clues as to what may be in store.

Square Enix Party Trailer Translations:
-Dialouge/Words:
Their wounds cannot be healed. [I have to go heal their wounds]...
If you get lost in the darkness, join your hands together like before!
I am counting the days since my birth.
Has the number of days been recorded?
I do not want to forget what has happened since my birth.
With whose heart does the next story lay?
-Sora, Roxas, and The Enigmatic Soldier/Terra, appear in the background.
-Scenes from the Final Mix secret movie Birth By Sleep appear with a remix of "The Other Promise" (Song) playing in the background.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alsop khinsider seems to have gotten from the media that final mix+ WILL come out in the west, most likely in Autumn of this year!

Here's the qoute from khinsider: "But Final Mix won't be out in the West until late Autumn 2007, so you'll have to be patient."

P.s. I underlined until...

Doesn't really have to do with FM, but the first volume of KH2 manga has hit North America.

You can purchase it online here

What will the next series of Kingdom Hearts bring us?

A new title that will be announced at TGS, which Dakota will be attending. One thing is for sure; whatever the next game brings, it’ll be a classic.

The characters so far have already been announced.

* Terra- The “Enigmatic Soldier” is what he was called until Nomura announced his true name. He seems to be the leader of the three.
* Aqua- The only female soldier at present. After getting knocked down she shoots a blast and stops the hurricane of keyblades. Is there something between her and Ven?
* Ven- The somewhat youngest of the three. He trys to attack the old man, but failing to do so gets caught in a trap. As the old man drops him down the canyon he turns him to solid ice before letting go. Aqua catches him. Was that his eye moving before the camera moves?

The new series will be announced in Septemeber. What it brings us no one but Nomura knows..

((Sorry for the double post, but theirs a new interview with Tetsuya now!))

Well, a new interview has been released to the public, this time discussing the details of the next Kingdom Hearts game! Unfortunatley, if you've read most of the already released interviews, nothing new is presented. But, for the new readers, enjoy and bask in the new information!

Credit goes to WingsofaButterfly202's friend and WingsofaButterfly202 for translating it and posting it. Also, credit to Tomogirl for posting it on Kingdom Hearts Network.

The Interview

Interviewer: About the new KH title that will be announced after summer this year (2007), will that be a direct sequel?

Nomura: Hmm...I'm not sure how much I can say (laughs). I'll start of by saying that it's not Kingdom Hearts 3.

Interviewer: So this game will be a side story?

Nomura: That's right. My own feelings are that I would like to give Sora a break from large adventures for a little while. So I'm thinking of making the next game's story focus on other characters.

Interviewer: So by a little while, do you mean that Sora's journey from Kingdom Hearts 2 hasn't finished?

Nomura: Yes. If you're talking about the mysteries that started from Kingdom Hearts 1, then those were all revealed. In the ending of Kingdom Hearts II, there was a scene where Sora received a letter from the King; for Sora, I would like you to consider this as a new beginning. The truth is, until the very end, I was considering whether or not to include a scene showing them setting off on a journey after reading the letter.

Interviewer: So, let's talk about this new story, which doesn't have Sora as the main character. What sort of story will it be?

Nomura: Well, I need to start with the story depicted in a Birth by Sleep. Aside from that, there's the story of how the King found his keyblade in the world of darkness and other things like that. Myself, one of the things I most want to do is to give Roxas more of a role to play. I think it would be interesting to flesh out more of the year he spent between his birth and disappearance. Or making Riku the main character, and writing about his desperate fight while Sora was asleep, and things like that. You get the impression that Riku summoned Roxas to a place of shadows, and that Riku is a master of shadows, so I would like to give him more exploration in the game.

Interviewer: Will there be anything different in the game system?

Nomura: I'd like to try something a little different to the previous games in the KH series. I'm not just talking about the next game, more about the next project, so I can't say that it will just be one game (laughs). For the Kingdom Hearts series, being made with our company and Disney, both companies have things in mind that we would like to make reality, so there's always at least two things we want to do.

Interviwer: What platform does it look like the next game will be released on?

Nomura: Hmm... Probably a hand-held platform. Right now we're working on titles for the PSP (FFVII Crisis Core), Nintendo DS (This Wonderful World) and for mobile phones (MONOTONE), so I wouldn't be surprised if it were on any of those platforms.

Interviewer: Is there any chance that this game may be released on multiple platforms?

Nomura: We haven't considered that in the development. If possible, I would like to make a system that suits the platform. But in contrast, in terms of ideas, I would want ideas that could be released on any platform.

Interviewer: The more I hear about the next game, the more exciting it sounds, but for the fans the first thing to do is to see KH2 Final Mix's secret movie isn't it?

Nomura: Yes. I'm worried that we made the conditions for getting the secret movie too hard, but through reading this guide, I hope the readers will be able to see the secret movie. Finding a way to defeat (the new boss) is tough, but I've seen it done, so I know it's not impossible (laughs). If you're able to see the new secret movie and turn your thoughts to the next Kingdom Hearts, I'd be very happy.

Just to let you all know, theres a KH2 Final Mix forum now.
