Hey guys, here is a heck load of Info for KHII:FM and the remake of CoM.

KHII:FM Info

Speculation as of Sep13 2006
- The latest issue of the Japanese magazine WEEKLY JUMP has published two screenshots & information regarding the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix. Although not much information was given about the game, it will feature English dubbed voices, plus a whole variety of new content (e.g. cutscenes).

Features Speculation:
- New Secret Movie? (Ref: 1ST Screenshot)
- KH: CoM 3D Minigame? (Ref: 2ND Screenshot)
- Possibility of Mushroom Heartless (Ref: KH2 Ultimania)
- Possibility of KH:CoM Org. Member Battles (Ref: KH2 Ultimania & 1ST Screenshot)
- Possible Reveal of Zexions Weapon (Ref: KH2 Ultimania)
- Possible Reveal of Mickey's Letter Contents (Ref: KH2 Ultimania)

CoM based mini game

Speculation as of Sep22 2006
Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+
- Comes bundled with RE: Chain of Memories
- Spring 2007 release
- Various new Cutscenes, Battle Upgrades, Map Additions
- There is the "+" at the end of the title, probably to show that it is more than just a special edition
- Lot more story about Roxas
- According to Square they are not even mentioning if it will come to the US or not. As they always do with special editions. (avoiding the issue? way to go!)

Bonus Roxas fight?

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

http://www.kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=kh2/fm/scans/scn0011.jpg

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,

There are a couple of interesting rumors about what is going to be shown at Jump Festa 2007 this weekend in the KH2: FM+ trailer. Well hears hoping that they're real!

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

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

Speical info on playing: Please bear in mind, this release of the game is only compatible with Japanese version of the Playstation 2. If you wish to play it on your American/European etc. console, then make sure you have Swap Magic, which allows you to play imported games.

Additional info: thank you Xaldin from KH-vids.net
Link to KH2: Final Mix site http://www.jp.playstation.c...825.html

Final Mix

• Picture #1 Summary Translation: Sora vs. Roxas' battle is possible. The battle is playable that exist only in the event scene in Final Mix. The candescent battle can be easily felt.



• Picture #2 Summary Translation: The new truth obvious: in the new additional cutscene. The event that supplements the story that's not explained in the original version. An individual story that is drawn more clearly, and is more finished than its original version.



• Picture #3 Summary Translation: New secret movie is added in. The secret movie of the original version is added into the work now. The truth is clarified by the additional movie. Moreover, what kind of impact does the new content hold? It is a must see clearer movie than the original version.

Re:CoM

Nothing new here either. 2-D-->3-D CoM. Uses Japanese voices. Doesn't change the story at all. Etc., etc.



• Picture #1 Summary Translation: In the process of making the GBA game to 3-D, more expressive character formation were added in. The power of expression in the characters greatly improve the same cutscenes from GBA to PS2. They are drawn delicately so when they are played out along with the voices, the scenes join in unison. Also, a new impression can be discovered by the 3-D characters' facial expressions.



• Picture #2 Summary Translation: Two or more new elements are added in. Of course, the "Riku chapter" is possible to be playable after Sora's volume has ended too. In addition, two or more elements have been added in now with the battle with the Organization XIII that were fought in the original GBA version. It's been occassionally developed. Moreover, KH2 "reaction commands" are able to be used to attack in addition to the familiar "stock techniques" that are generated by combining cards. The strategy improves greatly. Also, there's a hidden element that'll help influence both "Final Remix" and "Re:CoM" so please expect it by all means.



• Picture #3 Summary Translation: Battle scene to which, the action heats up! Since becoming 3-D, the battle field has become enlarged, and the guide is developed through a basic battle system (action that uses the card) which is the same as in the original CoM. Moreover, because of a lot of new cards added in, the battle has become bigger.

((I don't know if some of this is already covered, but there's one other thing that you should look at. You have to go to the kingdom hearts movie looms topic...))

Our friends at KH2.co.uk have kindly translated an exciting interview that Tetsuya Nomura has given Famitsu. Here it is:

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+

Famitsu: Anyway, let’s start with the news of this “new project” which appeared at the end of the latest trailer. Boy, were we surprised!
Nomura: Thanks to everyone Kingdom Hearts has gained phenomenal popularity worldwide. That is why next year the series will be taking a new stepÂ… although for the moment I canÂ’t be any more concrete.

Famitsu: If only you could do something about that (laugh). Is it something Disney specializes in? Or is a game?
Nomura: It’s complicated. It is one thing but “project” doesn’t quite encompass it. Right now we’re in the midst of talks with Disney’s side and while there is something they have contributed there is also something we [Square-Enix] have contributed. At the moment we’re talking about how to realise it. Please be patient until we can be more precise.

Famitsu: Will there be a hint in KHII FMÂ’s secret movie?
Nomura: WellÂ… there will beÂ… a little. But also something elseÂ…

Famitsu: Something else?!
Square-EnixÂ’s PR Department: ItÂ’s probably something you have never would have imagined. (laugh)
Nomura: So a lotÂ’s going on but please look forward to it.

Famitsu: We will! Now, regarding the new information thatÂ’s been released, first thereÂ’s that new costume for Sora. Is it for Halloween Town?
Nomura: Actually itÂ’s something for Christmas Town. It was suggested in an interview so I thought that since I had the chanceÂ…

Famitsu: So thereÂ’s no difference in Halloween Town but when in Christmas Town it will change?
Nomura: Yes. There are basically two costumes for that world.

Famitsu: Will these new changes in costumes also mean changes in the story?
Nomura: No, the story wonÂ’t change so there will only be a difference in the visuals. I thought that might be fun. The reason it isnÂ’t red is because it would then be the same colour as JackÂ’s and so the story would get complicated. By the way, Donald and GoofyÂ’s appearances will also change.

Famitsu: What is the new Drive Form looking like?
Nomura: The colours are very similar to SoraÂ’s KH costume.

Famitsu: Speaking of the latest trailer, it seems there was a new stageÂ… one where there were battles with Marluxia and Lexaeus. They disappear in CoM right? SoÂ…
Nomura: In KHII FM you will be able to fight all the members of Organization XIII. To do that we had to create a new place. Those members who arenÂ’t related to the story will be very difficult to defeat.

Famitsu: More than Sephiroth?
Nomura: Yes. This is a special edition so theyÂ’ll be very hard indeed.

Famitsu: We also saw that the fight against Roxas that was a cut scene in KHII is now playable.
Nomura: Yes. WeÂ’re doing our best to make it great.

Famitsu: In the latest releases it also seemed like he had a very small number of HP bars. (laugh)
Nomura: Well he is also a Keyblade Wielder so he packs quite a punch. However, unlike Sephiroth, his is a fight that is compulsory to the story so we couldnÂ’t make him too powerful either. It was all about finding the correct balance.

Famitsu: There were quite a few screens where he was in the air but will this be a mostly airborne battle?
Nomura: Not really, but it will definitely be a very lively battle.

Famitsu: There seems to be a Reaction Command called Duel Bout. WasnÂ’t this one that could be used with the Samurai Nobodies?
Nomura: Yes. Samurai Nobodies are supposed to be under RoxasÂ’ command so it makes sense that Roxas can use the Command as well. Of course, RoxasÂ’ is a lot better.

Famitsu: As well as these new fights against Organization XIII and Roxas, fights against new mushroom Heartless were also shown.
Nomura: I actually donÂ’t like shiitake (MorsÂ’ Note; a popular edible mushroom in Japan) but came to like mushroom Heartless. (laugh) I had thought of great gimmicks to put them into KHII but it didnÂ’t make it. I had to insist a bit but they finally are included. This time theyÂ’re quite strong.

Famitsu: There was a screen where mushroom Heartless were striking a pose. What was that about?!
Nomura: It means there are several of them. (laugh)

Famitsu: Several?!
Nomura: They each have their own specialities and are of different sizes as well.

Famitsu: Will we be able to tell them apart?
Nomura: They are all ranked and you can tell what their number is.

Famitsu: In recent screens there was a score counter as well as a timer. Are they going to be fought like minigames?
Nomura: Yes. They come up as challenges and, as before, each have their own way of being solved.

Famitsu: We’re looking forward to it. Also, in the latest trailer there was a character who said “It’s been a while, my friend.”. Who was this being said to?
Nomura: At present I cannot say.

Famitsu: You said that none of the iron-clad characters of the secret movie were Roxas or Sora.
Nomura: That is correct. However they are related to one or more characters we have already introduced. Please speculate and look forward to it as well as the new project.

Kingdom Hearts - Re:Chain of Memories

Famitsu: With the addition of voice acted scenes, it is like seeing some members of the Organization anew.
Nomura: Individuals worlds will only have text but all the scenes within the Castle with the Organization will be voiced.

Famitsu: The quality of it is also amazing.
Nomura: The Organization of KHII was done so accurately and well that we were determined to do just as good with KH: Re:CoM. They stick perfectly with their image.

Famitsu: In a screen where we fight with Riku, we see Zexion holding a Soul Eater. Does that mean he has the ability to imitate othersÂ’ weapons?
Nomura: Yes. However, each and every member of Organization XIII has both a special attribute and a specific weapon. Zexion also has his own weapon.

Famitsu: And what seems like the ability to clone himself?
Nomura: ZexionÂ’s element is that of illusion so he will make use of it in battle.

Famitsu: What are the changes to the battle system?
Nomura: There a lot more Stock techniques. There are many new combinations that produce techniques than previously. There also some techniques that are connected to the Reaction Command brought over from KHII. However, the input of the Reaction Commands is a bit more difficult than in KHII.

Famitsu: Button mashing wonÂ’t do?
Nomura: Indeed. In Re:CoM you get to use them during Stock techniques so that would have been too easy. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ve tried to make the timing more severe.

Famitsu: There has been talks that you were thinking about giving a nice bonus if the saves of KHII: FM and KH Re:CoM were to be transferred around.
Nomura: Yes IÂ’m making it so that they will affect one another, something if KHII: FM data can be found when playing Re:CoM and vice versa. Transferring that of Re: CoM to KHII: FM will have a great effect I included thinking of all the fans so please look forward to it.

New Kingdom Hearts Projects!
December 21st, 2006

After Jump Festa, we were lead to assume that it would be likely that there would be new Kingdom Hearts projects in 2007. In the latest edition of the magnificent Famitsu magazine, however, Square Enix have actually confirmed that they will be working on new Kingdom Hearts projects!.

That’s right, Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed there will be news surrounding the future of the series in mid-2007. So can we expect KH3 to be announced? We suspect Kingdom Hearts 3 to be announced in May or June time, with a long build-up likely. As well as expecting Kingdom Hearts III, it has been hinted that there will be a ‘non-game’ project, which could quite possibly be a movie.

((and I got this info from www.kingdomhearts3.net))

and did anyone catch the statement that the armored people related to a couple of charaters that we do know? nd they are not related to sora or riku! You can find this right before they go on the subject of khre:com...

I got this info from KH insider

(MK stands for Midnight Kindom, Im not really sure who this is)
(This is all RE:CoM)
Sora's Chapter: Halloween Town
-You start off in a strange room.
-Some cutscenes appear.
-There's a new cutscene.
-There's a new gimmick that's hard to beat. (?)
-The fountain in the town's square bats at Sora just like in KH2.
-Also, the water fountain jets out water when you approach it.
-Very dangerous when trying not to get hit by the fountain.
-The guillotine bats around at Sora too.
-Just like in KH2, the guillotine's blade slices down. It slices when Sora's being knocked against it. ( Fire ---> Gravity". It doesn't deal with the enemy who just appeared but it can attack at a wide range. It might be a unit's technique.

A new map card is confirmed:
-It's called "Bottomless in the Dark" or the "The Bottomless Dark".
-The card has a jet black illustration (hence its name).
-The card category is red.
-It is a dark pitch-dark room. The battlefield is also pitch-dark. Only a shadow heartless appeared in the battlefield so far.
-The amount of enemies who appear in this room are significant, thus, MK believes that the enemy card rate is also increased. (Good for the people who need certain number cards, eh?)
-MK rated the place three stars for both amount of enemy and the area itself.

The roulette room:
-It appears when a red, green, and blue card are drawn.
-MK's card category is red.
-It is a room where the "Roulette prize" is dropped when an enemy is defeated.
-There are chances where the item isn't dropped so easily.
-When the "Roulette prize" is picked up, you are able to select the map card obtained after the battle with the roulette.
-The map card is random so its numerical value can be chosen from each battle.
-MK forgot about the appearance rate of the enemies and the area.

Stock technique:
-If you use "Fire Burst!", the attack starts off with a launch (throw) of the keyblade at the heartless, then there's this burst off fire that comes down raining, and the fire attacks the heartless.
-The movement condition is "Fire ---> Fire ---> Gravity". It doesn't deal with the enemy who just appeared but it can attack at a wide range. It might be a unit's technique

MK Personal Notes:
-MK notes that Sora's in his Halloween Town outfit while Donald and Goofy are in the friend card modes but also don their Halloween Town costumes.
-The Oogie Boogie boss battle has been smoothly cleared by MK.
-The destruction of Oogie's dice takes some time to destroy.
-"Lovely.." is being called repeatedly to Sora (from MK?) for obtaining the Oogie Boogie card at the end.

Riku's Chapter: Vexen boss battle
-The cutscene addition comes with voice and a battle.
-It almost omits the fact that there was a CoM for the GBA because it's all the same.
-Riku did not find a new technique yet, even with Vexen. (The shock technique cannot be used normally.)
-"Slide Hit" - Ice is used in such an execution that it's hold up like a large sword and attacks.
-The movement condition is "Magic card --> Magic card --> Attack card" -Although, "freeze" isn't a new technique, it destroys the opposing group with good execution.
-MK felt, to be honest, that the boss battle was considerably hard. He/she thought it was scary but has managed to clear it. -It would definitely be easy only if you're able to gaurd Vexen's attack and hit the attack back at Vexen.
-MK felt that Riku's Dark mode is strong. About half of Riku's HP bar was decreased by the time, Riku's dark-mode kicked into action.
-Riku's expression after obtaining Vexen's card is...........saucy? What!?
-MK ends the report with "It is good." =]

-Sig credit goes to PhilXZ. The pic of Kairi's head was cropped by Rathalos9. Apparently no one else can crop Kairi's head...

MORE SCANS!!!

http://kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=img/uporg720590.jpg
http://kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=img/uporg720594.jpg

Here's a quick summary of what these scans tell us;

- On a new map in the depths of Hollow Bastion, we are given the opportunity to fight each and every member of Organization XIII independently to the story. Of course, they are all absurdly powered up.

- There is a new secret enemy who is difficult to defeat even if you know how. He was built with the critics who said that Sephiroth was too easy in mind. On top of that, his demise is necessary for unlocking the new Secret Movie and the completion of Jimminy's Journal.

- The most notable effect of going from 2D to 3D in Re:COM has been that the maps are all different from their GBA counterparts and you will actually have to look for the doors to next rooms.

- In the brief blurbs from the Animation Director and the Art Director, they both admit having first thought that KHII FM+ would require minimal work. In the end however, both animation teams from Tokyo and Osaka had to be called upon to assist with the project and detail was so finely looked at that some textures had to be redone.

- The recommended order of play is Re:COM (with the Sora then Riku story arcs) then KHII:FM. Not only does this make the most sense story-wise, Nomura mentions a bonus you get to carry over from Re:CoM to KHII:FM. The ending of Re:COM has been added on to on the basis that both the CoM and KHII stories are being sold together (so presumably there is less need for a deeply mysterious scene but rather one that answers some questions).

Ok Krill, im not sure where you saw the super hard boss but it looks to be a point system in the second and third picture of the first scan. Second one shows a Mortal Kombat type HUD and the third one shows the number 29 as if it popped up when he got hit.


The North American Version of Kingdom Hearts II is finally getting it's re-release in Japan. It's New Features are:

.English Voice Cast
.New Explorable Areas as well as redesigned navigation maps
.A new "Serious Mode" Difficulty
.New scenes that were featured in the japanese manga have been added to the game
.New boss battles against the mysterious Orginization XIII
.A fight that was a cutscene in the original is now playable
.The censored parts of the game are no longer censored
.All Difficulty modes have been tweaked up

The game also contains a second disc which features a remake of the GBA game: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, which is titled Kingdom Hearts: RE: Chain of memories. This Game's features are:

.Rendered in fully 3D
.KHII's Reaction commands system
.New Cards and boss battles
.New scenes and previous scenes are fully voiced in Japanese
.Save data affects Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix

Basically wat this means is that we can play the jappanese version while understanding the story line but not the CoM.


Several independent sources state that a release in North America will occur in Fall 2007[16] with no confirmation from Square Enix.
-This is from wikipedia (So there for dont take it as fact)

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

According to the pages of US video game magazine EGM, Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, once thought to be a Japanese only release, is to get a North American release.

Final Mix offers a revamped version of Kingdom Hearts II, plus a full 3D remake of the GBA sequel/spin-off Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. This remake has been dubbed re:Chain of Memories and, together with a significant visual overhaul, will benefit from a number of gameplay tweaks.
