Kingdom Hearts II

[Dark Sora]

I think the other one died, so I'm going to make this, to start informing people about what's new.

To start it off, there's a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts II. In this trailer, you actually get to finally see Kairi's new face. To me, she seems like a pretty hot school girl XD

Click nyaw (http://www.kh2.co.uk/forums/dl/dl.php?ad=jf05) for it

And here's a couple of screen shots that I found to be awesome:

I'll post some more screen shots later. Just from those screen shots, Kingdom Hearts II looks awesome.Tetsuya Nomura (director and artist) did a great job, from what I see. But because he had a really bad flu, last year, Kingdom Hearts II had the huge delay. It is said that Kingdom Hearts II might come out at the begining of 2006. But lets just hope that the trailer was right, and it come out later this year. Would be awesome if it came out durring the summer.

This game, Final Fantasy XII and the new Zelda are going to make the tail-end of this console era one to remember.

I've only just started getting geared-up for this again. Mainly due to the release of Chain of Memories here in the UK.

[Dark Sora]

I've been waiting for this for this game for like 2 years o.O

[AngelMina]

~Hey kingdom hearts 2 looks really kool~
Cant wait to get the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zero ex]

The game seems cool, its sees that it will be alot better than the first kingdom hearts.

[Dark Sora]

Here's some other really cool screen shots:

Omg. The attacks you can do with Auron are freakin awesome! Hope you can do more attacks.

http://www.kh2.co.uk/assets/images/52.jpg

What could Herc be doing with Hades? He looks kinda sad. Looks like Hades is putting his moves on him XD

http://www.kh2.co.uk/assets/images/54.jpg

I'm guessing Hades said something to get Herc to help him! Dun Dun Dunnnn

[Arcanine]

I'm guessing Hades said something to get Herc to help him! Dun Dun DunnnnWho wants to bet it has something to do with Meg? XD


Anyway I can't wait for Kingdom Hearts two. I was happy to see a new trailer of it (who do you think gave Kevin the link to it? XD). I really hope KH 2 comes out this year. I will die it it comes out next year.

[Shinin]

You can find translations for those pics on some sites (like Sora's Domain probably).

[Dark Sora]

Who wants to bet it has something to do with Meg? XD

Maybe he said "You better help me, or I'll talk about how fat and ugly your mother is" XD

[Zero ex]

Do you now if cloud is going to appear in this game?

[Arcanine]

Kevin: Well his momma wasn't that fat. But she was kind of big. XD
But I don't think old hot head would say stuff like that. XD

Zero ex: Most likely not. Since he was on KH and that will most likely be it for Cloud.

[Zero ex]

oo i want to see clud in the game, but sill the game will be extremly cool.

[Magma Member Jacob]

I cannot wait until KH2 either!!!! It is an awesome game. (Auron looks weird without his glassesXD)

[Shiranui]

Wow, KH2 looks like it's gonna be really good, much better than the original. I can't wait 'till it's released!

[Brendon]

Yeah this is gonna be so cool!!!!!!!!I wonder when its gonna come out

[Dark Sora]

Okay. I found out something new about Kingdom Hearts II. It's both good and bad.

The release date is:


December 31, 2005

Good: It's not 2006
Bad: It's pretty darn close to 2006

I don't think that's been confirmed, but here's worst news about KHII- It's not for PSIII

Really, they had two great choices here:
A. Work on it faster and get it released far before PSIII
B. Wait for PSIII to be released, and then make it

Instead they went with:
C. Release it for PS2 during PS3's era

Well that's like what happened with CoM. KH: CoM should have been out on the DS. But they went with the GBA.
I think the reason why it comes out on the PS2 (I never really thought about it going out on the PS3) because everyone has a PS2 (I got two). When the PS3 comes out, it might cost a lot, not everyone will go for it right off the bat etc. So they they put it on the PS2 and get more people getting the game.

[Shinin]

Dark Sora, where did you get that release date?

[Dark Sora]

A magician never tells his secrets XD

I got it from the Electronic Gaming Monthly website

www.egmmag.com

[Latioscatcher]

DUDE tHey just changed the release date of kh 2 to LASt day of the year!! oh no

[Latioscatcher]

Did anyone preordered Kingdom Hearts 2 yet?? I did 10 doller i gave so i can pay less :)
and whats the release date for Kingdom hearts 2?

[Shinin]

They didn't change it, they made it. There never was a set release date until now.

[Dark Sora]

Actually, first it was set as March 15, but then they changed it to September, and then to December 31. So they did change it.

[Arcanine]

I just hope they get it our sooner then the end of the year. Being on the last day of the year sucks, a lot.

[Dark Sora]

It's most likely gonna be December, or maybe even in 2006. Tetsuya Nomura said that Kingdom Hearts II is going to come out after Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. AC is coming out September 14. So Kingdom Hearts II will most likely come out either October or November. So it'll take a while for it to come to the US.

[Brendon]

Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!whyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dark Sora]

Because you spammed and didnt follow the Four-Word Rule

[Tsukasa]

lol that was a good one dark sora but yea that is messed up i am dying fro this gam i cant wait till it comes out

[Arcanine]

Brendon please read the PC rules. It has rules about spamming and the 4 word limit.

All I know is that KH 2 will come out after 12 and 12 will come out after AC.
WHAT?!!! FFVII: AC comes out in September? Is that Japan or the US?

[Shinin]

They said that either FFXII or KHII would be released in 2005 in USA, not both.

[Dark Sora]

Nah. Said it'll come out after Advent Children. I think it'll be in Japan. But it might come out in both Japan and the US

[Latioscatcher]

JAPAN gettin it sept 14. both ac and ffxii thats what i herd

[Brittany]

Nope, that's the Japanese date for Advent Children. They've gotten 95% of the rendering finished, they just need time to record and rerecord, and then synch before the release.

For the English speaking version, I think they'll be recreating lip movements and such, and then start recording- which means once Japan get's their release, we'll probably be having this wait all over again. I don't even think they have hired all of the voice artists for the US yet...

Ohh... I wonder what the new command on top is... りゅうせい　"Ryusei"? Meteor?

[Dark Sora]

Whatever it is, it definately sounds cool.

[Latioscatcher]

KINGdoM hearts 2 isnt namine a witch? and BHK a creation of her or something and THERSE TWO KEYHOLES Per world i heard And i heard a limited version of kh 2
Kev did you preorer the game yet

[Dark Sora]

KINGdoM hearts 2 isnt namine a witch? and BHK a creation of her or something and THERSE TWO KEYHOLES Per world i heard And i heard a limited version of kh 2
Kev did you preorer the game yet

Pre-order it where? o.O And Namine is more like a hot b*tch. I like girls that can corrupt a person's memory

[Shinin]

There's only 1 keyhole per world, and BHK was NOT created by Namine.

[Sesshomaru]

i heard it is comming out like on november 11 this year

[Shinin]

There's no set release date yet. No one knows it. And December 31st 2005 isn't real either.

[Dark Sora]

December 31 is real. Anyone who doesnt think it's real is stupid. Everyone knows that we always experience December 31, once a year, so that proves it's real. XD

I think it'll either come out in December or early 2006.

[Latioscatcher]

Preorder It At Game Stop i did

[Brittany]

December 31 is real. Anyone who doesnt think it's real is stupid. Everyone knows that we always experience December 31, once a year, so that proves it's real. XD

I think it'll either come out in December or early 2006.
And why would they release it right after the holidays?

[Arcanine]

Brit has a point, to make a lot more money they will have it before the holidays. Because you have little kids begging their parents for Kingdom Hearts 2 because they want it sooooooo bad. So the parents get it and Square makes a lot of money. The kids are happy, the stores are happy, Square is happy and the parents are happy that the game is making the kid shut up about gifts. XD
It will most likely end up after the first of the year (maybe even Feb of next year).

[Dark Sora]

Brit does have a point... Well, I said I think it'll come out somwhere in December, or either 2006.

Wait a minute. I think I know why they would release it after the holidays! Being that alot of kids get money from some people, they can use that money to buy Kingdom Hearts II! It's brilliant XD

[Arcanine]

I thought of that too. But look at it this way. Not everyone gets a ton of cash for the holidays. And you got to get at least 60 dollars (I really don't think there is a 20% tax anywhere in the US but I'll toss out a 60 to be on the safe side XD). And not everyone will get that much (just a bunch of stinking old clothes with little ducks and stuff on it XD), sure they might get a good many sales from it. But if they toss the game out before holidays they get lots of sales. And after the holidays (the little kids with 60 bucks in their hand) they get more sales. So they would throw it out before all the holiday shopping starts.

Edit: I might as well post it here since everyone has been talking about FFVII: AC.

According to Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/12/news_6124327.html), Square-Enix is making an international release on September 14th of this year for the highly anticipated sequel to Final Fantasy VII. Earlier reports by various sites did say that Square may have been pondering that idea, although no reliable sources to back it up. Slashdot (http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/13/0445257&from=rss), and IGN (http://psp.ign.com/articles/612/612434p1.html) are also supporting the news about the worldwide release. There has been no mention of Europe as of yet, nor has there been any news on if Advent Children will be released onto UMD Format for the PSP. We will keep you posted on news concerning Advent Children as it comes in.

[Dark Sora]

Andy, we only talked about Advent Children in like 3 posts XD

Anyways, I'm not sure if I'll pre-order Kingdom Hearts II

[Kratos]

Did you know you fight the Hydra in Kingdom Hearts 2?

[Dark Sora]

Hydra? I seem to have forgotten what that is.

[Kratos]

The Hydra is the creature that has one Head to begin with but with every Head cut off Two more heads take it's place.

[Dark Sora]

Ah...Sounds cool. It would be awesome to fight it.

[Kratos]

Originally the Hydra was suppose to 9 heads. 8 of the heads could be killed with cutting off it's heads. There was one Head of the Hydra that was suppose to be Invicible! If you want to know when Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out just ask me. I should probably add you to my friend list. Do you want to know about some Worlds in Kingdom Hearts 2?

[Arcanine]

Andy, we only talked about Advent Children in like 3 posts XD

Anyways, I'm not sure if I'll pre-order Kingdom Hearts II
So? You want me to go off and post a new thread that will die within a day? (I wish FH was still up, that poor forum died XD) XD

And if any of you are wondering what Hydra looks like then here is it (it's from the movie that came out a long long time ago XD).

Hm. I thought that might be Hydra, but I wasnt sure.

Also, maybe we should remake FH.

[Shinin]

Dark Sora, the release date in your sig isn't real. There have been no official relase date yet. Unofficial ones shouldn't be called real, since they're all fake unless it's a coincidance.

And what's FH?

[Kratos]

That is not true I have search on a bunch of websites and most of them say the Release date that Dark Sora has. So that release date is right.

[Dark Sora]

Like ghost person said, there's a bunch of sites that say it's December 31. Also, why do you think I put that the release date might change?


FH = Final Hearts. It's a forum that Andy, Brittany and I made (though Brit didnt do anything there).

[Arcanine]

Hm. I thought that might be Hydra, but I wasnt sure.

Also, maybe we should remake FH.
I think not. Unless you got some idea on how to bring in tons of members so it doesn't die in a week. XD


In addition, during the conference it was confirmed that KH2 will come out Winter 2005 in North America, woo!
Well looks like it's confirmed we will be getting KH2 this year.

[Dark Sora]

Muahahaha! So I was right about the date! XP

[Arcanine]

The funny thing is I haven't heard anything about KH 2 yet. Just some new Organization member from a pic IGN took.
I've downloaded a FFVII movie thing testing out the power of the PS3 (it was sweet). A FFXII trailer (now that one was sweet, the graps looked better then the PS3 FFVII trailer). And a FFVII: AC Trailer (the best of all three).

[Dark Sora]

Well Then I guess we're gonna have to wait till we hear something about Kingdom Hearts II

EDIT: Being that I'm starting to check my e-mail at least once every 3 weeks, I found an email from Playstation Underground. And look at what they gave me a link to XD

http://e3.playstation.com/video/index.aspx?vid=/fla/coverage/v_0516_e3c_02_l.swf

Watch the SCEA Confrence and everything else on E3. Everything should be up by tomorrow. I'm so happy they're having a live webcam.

[Brittany]

I can't wait to play in the Pirates of the Carribean world- now that will be nice!

FH was fun for a little while, until fatty scared them all away :(

[Dark Sora]

Well here's a kickass new trailer:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/campbell5/kh2e3clip.mov

Very short, but shows amazing stuff!

Also, you dont get to fight Axel as BHK and there's very little chance of playing as Riku


[NOTE: Info from www.kh2.co.uk and www.gamespot.com]

[Brittany]

Which trailer is this? *ish too lazy to download*

[Kratos]

I don't know if this is true but I also heard in Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora can fuse with Donald and Goofy. ASlso you can dual wield two Keyblades.I love that idea.

[Brittany]

I don't know if this is true but I also heard in Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora can fuse with Donald and Goofy. ASlso you can dual wield two Keyblades.I love that idea.
Yes it is true. When he fuses with Goofy, his clothes turn red, he gains more strength and speed, and he dual weilds. It's called Brave. He can't use magic in this stage.

When he fuses with Donald, his clothes turn blue, but the effects are unknown, probably more MP and stronger spells though. This fusion's name is unknown.

Another cool thing is that you can perform dual attacks with another party member(or atleast Auron). And a couple seconds after that, you still have the option to make Auron continue using special attacks like Bushido and Shooting Star by using the wild button. Now thats hot.

[Dark Sora]

From what I've heard, the fusion with Donald lets you do better and stronger magic. Or maybe I heard wrong.

Brit, the trailer is the newest trailer o.O

[Kratos]

Wow thanks. I didn't know what it was called when you fuse with Goofy. I also heard that a new summon is Pegasus.

[Brittany]

From what I've heard, the fusion with Donald lets you do better and stronger magic. Or maybe I heard wrong.

Brit, the trailer is the newest trailer o.O
Question was more directed to asking what's in it =P

I could have already d/led and watched it :P

[Dark Sora]

It shows Sora doing the kickass combos with Auron. And Sora fighting the big heartless in Mulan's world and Cerebus.

[Arcanine]

I liked that new trailer (I downloaded it a few mins after it came out). It was short but showed some good things. I think the trailer is longer, I mean why would they cut it out right before Sora uses some big move. O_o

[Brittany]

Oh yes, I've seen it.

I still wish KH2 was going to be released on PS3 though... I think KH2's graphics are amazing, and are really testing the limits of the PS2, but a sub-par PS3 game would look better, probably lag less, offer more options and worlds, etc.

[Dark Sora]

I liked that new trailer (I downloaded it a few mins after it came out). It was short but showed some good things. I think the trailer is longer, I mean why would they cut it out right before Sora uses some big move. O_o

True...And the song didnt even finish XD

[Brittany]

Who do you think will replace Sephiroth as the crazy insane(well atleast the first time around) boss?

[Arcanine]

Brit: But then we would be waiting longer for KH2. I think we waited long enough (if they put it off and put off and put it off then it would tick off a lot of people).

Kevin: Yea them dang Q-E people didn't let the song get done (good thing I have it on my PSP XD).

[Kratos]

I heard Sephiroth is in Kingdom Hearts 2. So he won't be replaced.

[Brittany]

Brit: But then we would be waiting longer for KH2. I think we waited long enough (if they put it off and put off and put it off then it would tick off a lot of people).

Kevin: Yea them dang Q-E people didn't let the song get done (good thing I have it on my PSP XD).
They can always release two versions O_O

[Arcanine]

Well they could do like Final Mix for the PS3 one. But having more or less the same game on the PS2 and 3 wouldn't be all that good. O_o

[Brittany]

Well they could do like Final Mix for the PS3 one. But having more or less the same game on the PS2 and 3 wouldn't be all that good. O_o
O_o
I'd rather have a remake for the PS3 than a remake for the PS2 XD
If nothing else, the PS3 version could have more realistic character models and slight improvements on the worlds. Not only that, but if they ever decided to create a PSP KH game, they could wirelessly link PS3 to PSP. Now thats hot.

[Arcanine]

Well you might get what you want. They might make a KH3. O_o

[Kratos]

I think Square-Enix will make a Kingdom Hearts 3.

[Dark Sora]

Though almost all third parts of a game aren't as good as the first two, I think Square Enix can make it ten times better. They did it with Final Fantasy, and now they can do it with Kingdom Hearts. It's almost impossible to make it better, so is they do make a Kingdom Hearts III which is better than Kingdom Hearts II, it'll be so good, even people who hate Kingdom Hearts will end up loving it. *imagines Sora having to fight BHK in Kingdom Hearts II* If that happens, then I dont know how they would make it better in a Kingdom Hearts III.


Anyways, here's some new videos:

http://www.e3insider.com/floored.aspx?articleID=B2JLMSPI5V&productID=T8STNOPNOM

and

http://www.ansemreport.com/vids/e3trailer-high.avi


Ansem Report doesnt seem to up, right now. So just wait until their back up, so download their trialer

[Arcanine]

Kevin is the second link a KH Trailer (like a real trailer), or just something like G4 reporting on it, or someone using a camcorder to rec what's going on?
That is if you done downloaded it (because 60MB on dial-up isn't pretty).

[Dark Sora]

This is a trailer. I'm not sure if it's someone recording it at E3, or if it's the real thing. AR is still down, so I cant download it yet.

[Arcanine]

I just downloaded a part of it (I didn't get much because it's way too large for me). And it's like a camdorder thing like I thought.

[Shinin]

KHIII will probably be the last, to make it (technically) a trilogy. (CoM was never planned to exist)

[Dark Sora]

Andy, you should've tried to get the whole thing. It's awesome. And the song finishes XD

Here's where it now is:

http://ruliwebfile.dreamwiz.com/mpeg3/e3_2005/ps2/kh2_e3.wmv

EDIT: Great news, for me! I might get Final Mix XD All I have to do is download the Swap Magic thingy, burn it on CD, then use it to play imported games.

[Arcanine]

I downloaded it. But it wasn't anything "shocking". But I put it in my KH 2 folder. XD

[Latioscatcher]

Did anyone saw the pic with the hydra i did only one head

[Arcanine]

Did anyone saw the pic with the hydra i did only one head
You mean this pic?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Black_Dragon_Clan/48.jpg

Yea I saw the pic some time ago.

[Dark Sora]

I saw that picture long time ago. Actally, I'm getting tired of seing that picture over and over again. I need new screen shots XD

[Shinin]

Look at this animation.
http://sd.cubicnetwork.net/marc/green%20tallests%20analysis%20of%20jf.gif

[Brittany]

Disney's side on the project has already said that if S-E is willing, they would like to make enough KH games to match up with FF...

But, not only is S-E the one calling the shots on future production, but they already commented that KH2 will be Sora's last role in the line of KH games. So if we see KHIII, we probably won't be seeing Sora, unless it's like an extended remake...

*great idea comes to mind*
Square-Enix should get really smart and rehash KH1 and KH2 for PS3! Keep everything except for the character models the same, unless there are any huge flaws. And then render the character models near-humanly, and PS3 would pwn.

Disclaimer: By the statements I just made I am not suggesting that I have any control over the future of Kingdom Hearts games, nor do I imply that I am somehow in control of Square-Enix.

[Dark Sora]

Here's an AWESOME new game play clip of the battle with the wind dragon and Cerebus

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/campbell5/gcclip5.mov

EDIT: Here's a new interview from E3 with Tetsuya Nomura:

http://e3.playstation.com/video/index.aspx?vid=/fla/coverage/v_0522_e3c_06_l.swf


It shows that Kingdom Hearts II will be rated Teen! Sweeet!

[Arcanine]

Well maybe they will make it better since the rating is T. I mean I like T rated games better since it fights more, more actions etc.

[Dark Sora]

I cant wait till it comes out. Just from seeing that it's rated Teen, it shows that it'll be much better than we origonally though it would. They have done the impossible.

EDIT: As I was looking at pics of the characters from the first Kingdom Hearts, I noticed that Sora's new outfit loks like a mixture of most of the characters' clothing.

1- Sora's new belt cross over thingy looks like a mix of Squall aka Leon's and Cloud's belt.

2- The cross over thingy on Sora's new glove thingy looks little like the design on Leon's glove

3- Sora seems to have 'shoulder pad' looking things similar to Cloud's

4- Sora's pants look similar to Wakka's pants. Except Sora's pants are a different color and doesnt have that 'X' thingy

5- The huge red 'pocket' type thing on the left and right side of Sora's pants are similar to Tidus' thingy.

o.O If everyone has already noticed that, then I'm stupid XD

[Arcanine]

Well I didn't know that till you said it Kevin. XD


Oh and I was looking at ToysRUs.com and they say the release date of Kingdom Hearts 2 is December 15, 2005. ToysRUs.com does get most of their release dates right. So we might get KH2 before the end of the year.

[Dark Sora]

Well I dont really like ToysRUs anymore, so I cant trust them. I had a little situation with them, with my reserved Grand Tourismo 3, when it came out. Ever since then, I never trusted them XD

Well, it's happy to know I'm not stupid, for just now noticing the similarities in Sora's new clothing and everyone elses clothing.
