Speculation as of Sep23 2006 Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+
PARTIAL TRAILER SUMMARY:
~*~Sanctuary plays in the background~*~
- You see the letters S-O-R-A whoosh around Roxas and form R-O-X-A-S.
Roxas: Roxas...
Xemnas: This is your new name.
- ??? Organization Member: This brat is way to young to be wielding the keyblade! Ladies and gentlemen the Keyblade master is begining to awaken once again. We must be sure to block his path.
- Roxas (black coat and dual wielding) versus Riku (black coat and blindfolded) in The World That Never Was:
Roxas: I am me!
Roxas attacks Riku and knocks him down.
Riku: No matter how many times we do this the outcome is already decided!
Riku: Looks like I must resort to this...
Roxas: What?
Riku: The power that resides in my heart... the power that I surpressed within my heart... even if I will no longer be me!
Riku is englufed with darkness.
- Axel, Namine, and "Rikunort" are at the Sunset hill in Twilight Town.
Axel: You have nowhere to go to, right? Of course you have nowhere to return to either.
Namine: I might not have anywhere I can go to but I do have a place I wish to go to. There are people I want to meet.
Namine looks at her sketch of Roxas and Sora.
- On top of the Twilight Town Clocktower:
- Roxas (with seasalt ice cream) walks out to the ledge and sits down
Axel: So you've finally awakened. (Axel appears)
Roxas: Axel...
Axel: No... It might not have been related to your sleep.
Roxas: I'm returning to my original form...
Axel: I've been thinking for a while. Namine has been saying it too. Roxas, maybe you do have a heart.
*holds icecream in one hand*
Roxas: I'm not really sure about that myself...
Roxas: Sora will find the answer.
-After all the Chain of Memories stuff is shown you see a keyblade weilder from the Sunset Horizons smacked with a keyblade, knocking him to the ground, and smashing his visor. He then get's back up quickly. He comes to attack, glares at the camera.
Info as of Sep28 2006 Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
-Possible new form
-New enemies such as Heartless that didn't appear in KH2
-A fight with "The highly demanded Organazation member"(Roxas?)
-A new enemy that is even more powerful then Sephiroth(Keyblader)
Re:Chain of Memories
-Save data integration with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
-A considerable ammount of new content
Speculation as of Sep29 2006 KHII:FM
- Roxas' new scenes are supposed to help dip deeper into his character
- They're adding places when you can make us of all your abilities, and they're rework maps so that you get more of a sense of fun exploring that you did in KHII or even KH
- His 'favourite Heartless' is going to be included
- A battle against one of the Org. XIII, which was only a movie in the original ver. and he was sad to have cut, will be playable this time
- Looks like there's going to be some parts not related to the story, where you might have the chance to fight 'an Org. XIII member you didn't get to fight in COM'
- New Reaction Commands
- A new difficulty, and since some people said that even Sephiroth on Proud mode was a walkover, there might be an even stronger enemy added
- They're trying to include all the stuff in the game they couldn't before
- The secret movie has been completely remade, it's not just the original with new bits added
- He wouldn't say anything about who the secret movie character with the broken mask is (since it's a 'secret' movie) when asked if it was someone we know
- They haven't decided if they're going to change the requirements to get the secret ending, since they usually decide that later on in the development

Speculation as of Sep30 2006
- Most of the new cutscenes are of Roxas but that doesn't mean you get more playtime as him.
- When Nomura was doing the editorial supervising for the KH2 novels (so the new scenes in the novels are a part of the story), he realized that he should have expanded some scenes so the new cutscenes are going to be there to explain some things that weren't explained in the original game. These scenes take place prior to and subsequent to the timeline in KHII. There will also be some scenes that will raise more questions.
- There will be new areas when you revisit some worlds. There will also be a completely new place for you to play in that wasn't in the original game but it's not as big as one whole world.
- Nomura didn't really confirm it but he was explaining that if Marluxia from CoM shows up in KH2FM, then he'll have to change the battle system for him (since you don't fight him with cards anymore) and he intends to add a little enjoyment on that part. "This is just an example, though. (laughs)"
Rumors as of Oct8 2006 Hey everyone,
As the title suggests I'm here to inform you of some of the latest Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ rumours that are flying around Japanese message boards at the moment.
They are that if you clear Re:Chain of Memories you can access a special world in which has doors labelled 1 through to 13, and by clearing Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 9th and 13th doors will open up, and by finishing Re:Chain of Memories doors 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12 are opened.
Judging by the numbers on the doors we presume that behind each door will lay a dungeon, and the boss will be an Organization XIII member corresponding to the number on the door. In addition, they also say that the 1st door will be openned once you've defeated all the Organization members from 2 to 13, behind this door Sora will have the chance to fight the Final Mix version of Xemnas.
Please consider that at this point in time, the information above remains as unconfirmed.
Rumors as of Dec12 2006 Hey everyone,

CoM remake info Speculation as of Sep20 2006 - Just as I said last week, the latest issue of Japanese magazine V-JUMP has provided us with a bunch of new information regarding Kingdom Hearts.
Firstly, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories will be remade in 3D for the Playstation 2 [Bundled with KH2: Final Mix] and feature voiceovers alongside a variety of other content..
CoM Axel KH:CoM PS2 Party pic Going through a door Fighting mag article Speculation as of Sep22 2006 RE: Chain of Memories
- There is a really big poster, It may be the box art
- Japanese Voiceovers
- Demo on site at TGS
- New Cutscenes
- You can get or win some sort of prize when you play the demo at TGS
- A reaction system has been added (more triangle button!!!)
- Reverse Rebirth is still in it
Speculation as of Sep23 2006 DEMO REPORT:
- The demo levels are:
~~Traverse Town
~~Olympus Colesium (with Hades boss fight)
- The game doesn't really differ from the GBA version other than controlling the camera
- Start menu uses the KH: CoM artwork from the big poster
- Controls:
Map Movement
Left Stick: Move
Right Stick: Camera Move
X: Jump
O: Check/Open Doors/Swing Keyblade
Select: Simplified World Map
Start: Pause/Skip Event
Battle
O: Use Card
Triangle: Stock/Use Stocked Cards
Square: Dodge Roll
R1/L1: Cycle Through Cards
R2: Lock On
TRAILER INFO:
- Zexion speaks to his with other Organization buddies,and he senses something. (in the begining of Reverse Rebirth, he smelled/sensed Riku, and compared him to the Superior.)
- Zexion is said to sound sort of like Gaara from the Japanese version of Naruto
-Marluxia shows of his flower petals more
-Sora vs. Larxene
-Larxene antenna looking hair moves around a lot
-Lexaus has a very fitting voice
- The trailer is set to the KH1 theme "Hikari"
Speculation as of Sep29 2006 Re:COM, which is being made by the Osaka team who made Musashi, at first they started off talking about a 2D port but then they decided to make it 3D
- After arguing about making it closer to KH or KHII, they decided on KHII and it's Reaction Commands
- The Tokyo team (who made KH and KHII) are handling the voiced cutscenes, and while they're using materials from KH they're also remaking the textures and such with KHII's improved technology
- They're adding some new game stuff unique to Re:COM
- There'll be quite a lot of new cards
- They're increasing the action element in Re:COM, and there'll be enemies with have some tricky attacks. With Marluxia and the like, it's kind of like "were they always this strong?"
- More stuff you can interact with and destroy in the field screens. Like in the coliseum, you can knock down a pillar and it'll smash into another one like a domino, and you can get onto the top of the pillars
- Some of the wording on the lines might be different since they're adding voices, but there's no additions to the story at the moment
- It's not fully voiced, only the original bits on floors in between worlds are. Disney worlds don't have voices
- They're working on something that's influenced by both of the games, so like if you have save data for both games... Something like that
- As for the price, they're thinking of the people who already bought KHII, and aren't going to make it the price of two games
- He is puzzling over what to do about North American fans, but mentions that he'd like it if they had the chance to be exposed to the Japanese voice casts as well
