Well, the Kingdom Hearts group discussion thread died, pretty much, and I'd revive it and such, but I'd much rather post a shiny new thread. So. Here we go.
If you haven't already heard, Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ will be released in Japan on March 29, 2007. It's basically like an extended edition of the game, with the English voice track (for the Japanese audience). They did it with the first game, but this time, they're packaging a remake of Chain of Memories along with it. So, I'll list a few of the changes and additions that have been made so far.
Final Mix +
Re: Chain of Memories
There are a lot of magazine scans already, so I'll just share the latest ones because they happen to be my favourites and cover...most of what I've mentioned here. :x
Page 1 - This one doesn't have much. Just the pretty new art for both games and near the bottom, an example of the transition from 2D to 3D for COM with Axel.
Page 2 - Pretty much just showing off Sora's new Santa outfit.
Page 3 - Screens from the Sora/Roxas fight. The reaction command is Duel Bout, same as the Samurai nobodies that Roxas controls. He's apparently as hard as he can get for a mandatory boss. :x
Page 4 - ORGANIZATION MUSHROOMS. Aren't they cute? xD And it would seem the Organization is having a little meeting on their ridiculous chairs in the bottom screens. I'd translate, but the kanji is blurry and I'm lazy. o_o; They're talking about Axel and Sora, though.
Page 5 - *ahem* MARLUXIA. FINALLY SOME IN-GAME SCREENS OF MARLUXIA. Sorry, had to get that out. These are some screens from COM. Riku up above, Sora and Riku talking about Namine, Marluxia telling Axel to "Rid us of our traitor" (♥!), Axel and Marluxia, Zexion with two eyes, and some basement scenes with Lexaeus and Zexion.
Page 6 - More in-game from COM. You can see the lack of voice acting in the Disney worlds, but it still looks nice.
Page 7 - More COM. Looks like the room selection is more advanced here. Looks like it ranks how many Heartless will appear and how big the room will be? (The stars, I mean, with three slots. :x)
Page 8 - And...even more COM. XD; Here we can see some of the Riku vs. Zexion fight. (Zexion seems to have Riku's Souleater weapon, but Nomura says he has his own weapon that's yet to be revealed.) Also shows more fight scenes.
Now, this doesn't have any release date outside of Japan, nor is it even known if it will even be released outside of Japan. The first Final Mix wasn't, but since this clearly has a lot more than the original FM (an entire game remake bundled in), there could be a chance of it coming here. Plus, Nomura has shown interest in having it here so...fingers crossed?
Anyway, shutting up now. Discuss? :D

Final Mix +
- A new drive form for Sora. It apparently resembles his clothes from first KH game.
- Christmas outfits for Sora & Co. in Christmas Town
- Organization XIII members are in the Coliseum, including COM members. The Marluxia battle apparently looks really cool and has a lot of reaction commands. :DDD
- The fight between Sora and Roxas (in TWTNW) is PLAYABLE now. Roxas has a lot of HP.
- New mushroom heartless. Their appearance is based of the cloak design of Organization XIII.
- New scenes, including more appearances of Organization XIII (they have a meeting! xD) and more scenes featuring Roxas.
- Maps have been altered. Some places have extra places and apparently there's a new (albeit very small) world on the map. Castle Oblivion, perhaps? :x (I don't remember if that's a rumour or truth. XD)
Re: Chain of Memories
- A total revamp of the game--it'll be on PS2 and in 3D.
- New cards, new scenes
- Voice acting in the scenes in-between floors. So basically, all the scenes that have Organization members will more or less be voiced. (Not sure about the on-floor things like in Twilight Town on Sora's side with Vexen and such...but I really hope that's voiced because it's SUCH a cool scene. :x)
- It's more like KHII than KH, such as using reaction commands.
- We FINALLY learn Zexion's weapon. Nomura promised. D< His fight versus Riku is also playable.
- Linkable to FM+. Both games will have extras available if you have save points (presumably at certain levels of completion) from the other game on the same memory card.
