| Former Site Staff  |  Now that Final Mix+ and Re:CoM have been released in Japan, I have decided that an update was imminent. Hopefully this will help to clear up some misunderstandings. Final Mix will not be released in the US or Europe, and this is Japan-only. There is an unsubstantiated rumor that it will be, but none of the major gaming organizations recognize this as being verifiable, nor from a competent source. This has also not ever yet been confirmed by SE, so don't get your panties in a bunch. The new project is supposedly being announced next year. Don't think I'm getting soft, because this is purely a convenience thing. Some videos will be uploaded. I am not posting the videos of new game events, since those are not readily available. KHVids has a large amount of content for Re:CoM (plotwise and bosses), in fact, I am watching some of them right now! You can find these stitched together by a little searching. Secret ending with audio (no dialogue, if there is any): Dead link. Text translated: Dead link. Original trailer for FM+ and Re:CoM (promotional): Dead link. Trailer Translated: OMG CLICK ME PLZ The original Secret ending, not Final Mix (introduction of the armored warriors): Click, and be enlightened! And these two videoes made me orgasm, like seriously (LOL Xigbar): I hate you Utawarezen. Why did you private those videos? Now I watch boring-ass level 1 challenge, and no damage videos. I want blood, damnit. As far as the plot goes, nothing has been confirmed, either. However, it does seem that the ending scene in FM+ points to the characters depicted as not being after, but rather, before the KH series time line. Nomura has not yet confirmed a KHIII, but has been planning another KH game; this could be a prequel or spin-off. Keep the discussions civil, intelligent (LOL like I'm gonna find that here), and friendly. There is NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE INCONTROVERTIBLE PROOF ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF THE GAME. Leave the makers to the making, and let the consumers do the buying. As for my official opinion, I do not actually think that Grom Hellscream will wind up killing everyone (even though he damn well should), I believe that the warriors are ancestors, or somehow involved with the main characters. What this relation is, I do not know, nor profess to know. This Keyblade War was likely not to be an epic battle of the armies versus the armies, but champions versus champions. The enemy is most likely not Xehanort (his face and bodily proportions are too dissimilar). He could be an avatar, or an inspiration, or even his teacher. In the fight, he defeats a Roxas looking person. This can easily be attributed to Nomura making all of his characters looking alike. The last guy (whose face is panned in on at the last seconds) is probably not Sora, and if anything, reminds me of Vayne. If there is a new breed of enemy, it will have something to do with the Soul. This is do believe, because the previous enemies have been related to a lack, or failure of some part of the three things that constitue a person. The Heart, the Body, and the Soul. When the Heart grows weak, a person becomes a Heartless; when the Body and Soul are left behind like a shell, this is a failure of the body to disseminate from the universe, and its existence is neither real nor possible. In the battle, after BHK Mark II is defeated, you can see the enemy forcing a line from him to an orb in his hand. Orbs are often the play things of a spellcaster, especially dangerous, Soul stealing ones. Though this theory is mostly unsupported, it seems the most likely, as the Soul has not been discussed highly, or considered a great part of the KH universe. All Yen Sid simply says in KHII, is that when the Soul is gone, life yields to death. But what if the Heart and the Body were forced from the Soul, as in the Soul were moving too fast for either one? This would create a phenomenon which is neither living nor dead. Traditionally, the Body is too damaged (natural or foul play), and the Soul must leave before it too is consumed. The Heart is the existence of, without it, the Soul is nothing, but when ripped apart before it should be to its Will to do as it needs, it becomes something else. I am loathe to say undead, but this will hopefully explain my use of the name Arthas. These are all of the changes to FM compared to the NTSC version, per The Fonz. More updates to come soon.

| Former Site Staff | You can check using the game, which lists the ingredients in the Recipes section of your local Moogle. Our Synthesis section is also fully operational and live, in the Site Staff section. I'll venture a guess that it is Crystals, not Stones, but this is from memory. |

| Former Site Staff | This'll probably be the last update before this I have de-stickied. Thus far, EoFF has an almost complete front-site section for coverage of Kingdom Hearts II. The information was written mostly by yours truly; however, that does not mean that there is still room for improvement. If you find an error or an inconsistency, please say so. There is no reason why you should hold back. As such, it is necessary to take a time-out to make sure that you have noticed that Spatvark and eternalshiva have worked for long amounts of time (although Spatvark doesn't seem to have a problem coding things in about five seconds) in writing the code for the front-site. If you want to check up on the section's progress, visit this link. To contribute or volunteer a section that has not already been written, take a look at this thread. As we leave the past, we should look on toward the future. As it stands thus far, there are a myriad of Kingdom Hearts games to be released sometime in the near future. Unfortunately, I'm dirt poor, seventeen, and could care less about new games until they actually come out, so if I am unable to provide with information (actually, I'll fail on every account), please learn more about the series at Wikipedia for the common man; it was even a featured article, recently. Furthermore, there is the Tokyo Game Show thread, which has a lively discussion about the new games (I think; this is like, the first time I've visited these parts of the forums in two months). If you have a particular interest in hacked KHII videos, visit Smartguy's and Biskit's YouTube pages. I'd tell you to visit Xaldin (of KHVids), or apulapul2000, but they seem to have not updated any time recently. So as long as I'm here, I might as well do something important. ... ... ... I can't think of anything. However, I would like to amend my first post, as some of the information is greviously outdated. As far as the Unknown Soldiers go, I have seen the full secret video KHII FM+, translated. Personally, I find it very difficult to believe that Xehanort is the bald dude. His demeanor leads me to believe that he is another random baddie, whose origins will be revealed in the future spin-off games. I still don't think Final Mix+ is coming out over here, though. And I still don't think that the Soldiers' names are Aqua, Ven, or Terra. Either way, let flowers bloom, eh? So, there you have it. If you want to contribute to this thread, or the front-site, just post in the thread. When the front-site section for Kingdom Hearts II is released, a moderator can go ahead and unsticky this. |
