KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

This seems interesting, at the Tokyo Game Show 2007, when there was a lack of public KH trailers to show, Xplay took it on themselves to review the currently, and probably will always be JP version of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+. They are a bit off on somethings, but you can't expect them to beat everything in the game. So without further to do.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ Review

Thanks to the 'DOS-embedded tipster, QBasic for messaging me this.

Hey everyone, it seems that today Oricon has put up their results for the top vocaled theme songs in video games. What they search for mainly is the content of the song, and how it works with the video game.

In first place came Real Emotion from Final Fantasy X-2, this is due to how the game seemed to have focused a bit more on the light hearted side, also Pop Music has been really famous for the past generation and having it incorporated into a game giving the song meaning of the story as well mixes together for a great result. Even if the game wasn't that good.

In second place came Kingdom Heart's "Hikari" (Not to be mistaken with simple and clean) in which the reason why this song came in second is due to just listening to the song, you are able to understand the meaning of the game, as well as the feelings and emotions the game will bring.


In third place is Final Fantasy VIII's Eyes on Me, this is due to how beautiful the peace sounds, and how much emotion in packs for the scene it is played in, the music focuses around Squall and Rinoa, and this track was the perfect way to show it.


In fourth place was Tales of the Abyss "Karma" This is mainly to do with the lyrics fitting the point of the game very good, giving off the same feel the game was meant to give off.


Final Fantasy XII's "Kiss me Goodbye" snagged fifth place, however it is not given it's own description.

Hey everyone, a new scan as surfaced, well not really a scan as it is a preview, but it features the Kingdom Hearts ~New Project~ collection. With these a few new images as well as old ones can be shown, since some of them are hard to view I'll explain the second coded image. The second Coded picture of Sora, Donald, and Goofy shows Pluto meaning that like I said in the previous update, this will show what Pluto was doing. Also the very bottom image is a very first look at Coded's Online Multiplayer.

Hey everyone, it seemed all that came at the beginning of this year, was a High Quality scan of 358/2 days which wouldn't really count as something new, then it was a higher quality of something we saw last year.


However now we've got some really nice new information concerning about the three games! Some are things we already know, as others are pretty new and at the same time are interesting. It's about time we got something like this considering lately Square-Enix has been in the dark.


Coded
- The scene of Riku in Neverland is to show what Riku was thinking before he kidnapped Kairi.
- The scene showing Traverse Town where Sora meets Donald and Goofy will be focusing on what Pluto did during that time.
- Sora can glide in Coded.
- The heartless have invaded the data, however they are not bugs.
- High-Speed Mode makes Sora run really fast, as Crash Mode turns the game into a sidescroller action!
- Debugs have a certain timelimit, if you fail to eliminate the bug then you can attempt again with other debugging methods.
- Upgrade Points (VP) can be used to help Sora become stronger, and these are done by bug eliminatin and heartless destroyed. Each heartless is worth 10 points.
- KH Coded's Online play can be used to join in and help other players in the game. However the system changes when in the other player's world, can you escape it? By the way the player's other then the one that joined will be shown as a shadow Sora to prevent confusions.


358/2 Days
- The 14th member is not revealed yet.
- Roxas' gameplay in single player mode has been changed slightly to give a more Kingdom Hearts feel.
- Roxas' must collect hearts everyday, in Organization XIII Saix tells Roxas to be more careful next time.
- The game will be moving throughout from Kingdom Hearts 1 - Kingdom Hearts 2.
- Items obtained in Single Player Mode, can be used in Multiplayer Mode. Also the screen below is mostly used to display the map and target, however it is not complete.
- The new gauge LP Mode has not been fully revealed, but is hinted to be used for powerful techniques.
- In single player mode the arrow is under the right corner of the screen, when in multi player it's under the left. They didn't say if this mysterious arrow (Not the arrow showing where your character is) can be used by the touchpad or not.
- There is a type of missions called "Hologram Missions" that can be used in single and multiplayer mode. These missions are not part of the main storyline at all. This is also how the Organization members trained.
- When doing missions you'll be graded with either a "G" or a "N" The "G" means you did good, and your chair will begin to rotate and rise. If you get an "N" the chair will begin to descend, as you either swayed away from your mission or did a bad job.
- The ability of Dodge roll gives more of a KH1 feel then it does KH2FM+
- Some returning enemies from KH1 will be back, however they have been revamped and there are a few other surprises in the game.
- This game is considered to be a mix of the normal Kingdom Hearts feel, as well as a dark feel to it.
- The Organization character's personalities will be fully revealed in this game, this way you can follow the cutscenes better, and the conversations between them can become more interesting.
- This game features an interesting twist in the battle system where you can chain your attacks together! You can attack, use dodgerolling, glide and more into just a single combination!
- The actions and defenses of each Organization member is new, and they all have their own special ability! Xigbar was able to use stronger attacks for a short while.

Birth by Sleep
- The scene of Cinderalla and Ven, is that Cinderalla is rushing towards the castle while Ven is staring at it, what could have caused this scenario?
- There is a possibility of event limitations within the game.
- Donald and Goofy watch as Yensid trains with Mickey in order for Mickey to become a stronger Keyblade warrior. What is his purpose to gain this power?
- Terra and Malificent are working together, Terra's smile is hinting to a connection but Nomura won't say what.
- Nomura hints that not all three Keybladers are connected to the three heroes of Kingdom Hearts II, however this game will explain the original conflict of the Kingdom Hearts series.
- The new enemies names are not announced still...
