    Hey guys, it seems the Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ Ultimania may have been released early!? As ff13vids managed to read off a bit of it, and had this comment to say about the "New Project"

    A much more accurate translation coming soon.

    Edit: TheWertle managed to help with smoothing out some parts of the post making it more accurate, as well as more understandable.

    - The Following about the "New Project"

    - It is not Kingdom Hearts III, but it is a Anecdote work! (Anecdote means a short story / biography that is interesting or amusing) Because I think Sora has a big role to fill! So let's draw other characters other then Sora for the following work now. (Does this mean Sora will have a new look?)

    - I could do nothing but talk about "Birth of Sleep" also I want to explain what Mickey did in the World of Darkness, and also how he got his keyblade.

    - I have a feeling I want to work on developing Roxas the most. It is interesting to draw in one year, the birth of him, and then next the disappearance of him

    - I want to make this slightly different from the Kingdom Hearts series, and change the system a little.

    - The Multi developing makes me want to put it on something else, without thinking. If we follow this idea, it would be hard to choose if to make it for the "PSP", "NDS" or the Cellular Phone.

    - Secrets in Kingdom Hearts Games. (Secrets as in little extras revealed)
    - The exact time line of COM (Such as What Riku was doing, while Sora was doing this ect)
    - And much more!

    He's also going to be picking up the FM+ Ultimania, so be sure to check back a bit after May 2nd for a lot of interesting content!

    Kingdom Hearts Secrets - Scenario

    [​IMG]

    1. If you go to Neverland, before doing Monstro, a scene will occur with Riku that you should have seen when in Monstro, when you arrive there.

    2. If you complete Deep Jungle before you do Alice in Wonderland the same scene with the villains are shown at "Villain Vale" however instead Snowhite will appear instead of Alice.

    3. For the scene within Hollow Bastion when Belle and Beast are reunited, the scene will change depending on which door you entered through in the library.

    4. If you defeat Malificent in Hollow Bastion before you take on Cerberus in the Coliseum, the last scene featuring Hades will not include Malificent.

    5. It's okay for you to lose the following matches. Cloud in the Coliseum, Leon in Traverse Town, and Sabor in Deep Jungle. It's also safe to lose against DarkSide in the first two fights.

    6. You are not able to create potions in the Deep Jungle camp, until Donald is with you again. Also if you do it with Tarzan on your side, there will be a slight change.

    7. If you didn't do certain things, there are scenes to help point you out. An example if you talk to Leon after defeating Guard Armor, he'll advice for you to help out Pongo and Perdy. They'll be at the cafe bar in district 1.

    8. You can find Pinocchio in the accessory shop after Cid gives you the Comet Gummi.

    9. Kairi will be in a small house, after you lock Hollow Bastion's door.
    10. If you do 100 wins, and 100 loses against Riku, the game will allow you to challenge Riku, but the game will stop counting.

    11. In the cave on Destiny Island, you can find a picture of Donald and a Chocobo drawn together on the wall.

    12. The Inn keeper will comment if you ring the bell 3 times he will say "No vacancies", and also will say "Aren't the painting nices" if you look at the two paintings instead Or if you look at the paintings and then hit the bell, he will instead say "Aren't the paintings nice but if you do stay over, try hitting that clock."

    13. If you make pooh fall into the river water, he will get his head stuck in a pot of honey.

    14. If you go to the rabbit's house, the letter in his mail box will change. The mailbox will change as you get each page. The letters are as following, the first one says "I sure would like to eat some honey from the honey tree, love pooh." The second letter says "Would it be okay if I jump around your field to my hearts content? Love Tigger". The third is "The Swing sure is fun, I flew really far. Love Pooh" The fourth is "Won't you come jump with me and Tigger? Love Roo" and the final is "Lets all go play Hide-and-Seek. Of course Sora will play with us. Love Pooh"

    15. After you find Eeyore's tail he'll build his house somewhere else, you can actually break this house, and he'll make it in a new place. The order is as following. "At the swings, big field with the log, next to Pooh's House, next to the honey tree, next to Rabbit's house" and afterwards it goes through 3 and 5 in a repeating fashion.

    16. Finally Pooh will be at different places after completing the Mini game, first he will be in bed after the honey tree. After Rabbit's house it will look like he's dancing inside his house. After finding Eeyore's tail he'll be sitting on the log in front of the fire, and you can light the fire to get some extra scenes with him. After Tigger's giant pot he'll be inside at his window.

    Here's a preview of what's to come next~

    Hey guys! It seems as though an interview has popped up recently and thanks to TheWertle we have a translation of it!


    Q: Your debut as director was with KH, What was the process of bringing that out like?

    Nomura: With the designs of KH, I had a plot around the time that FF7 was in production, and by the time of FF8, I had full out designs. But at that point the disney characters hadn't completely appeared. Hashimoto came up with the idea of a story with Disney. Since at that time Mr. Disney was in the same building, Hashimoto would sometimes talk with him on the elevator. And I guess they worked something out.

    Q: Were you the director at that time?

    Nomura: No, I was polishing up the KH designs, and was thinking of what the next line of development would be, and someone else was appointed as the director for this "Disney game". I think until then the things I did were often pretty useless. But the KH team told me "We want you to participate with us Tetsu-san, no one else would make a better director", and so they pushed for that afterwards.

    It seems Mors of KHU has translated all of the Axel / Roxas novels!


    Roxas - Somewhere in Time.

    Having just awoken from his sleep, his line of vision spread into a hazed world. Though he felt hazy in his dreams too, in this castle in the world-in-between, Roxas felt there wasn't that much difference.

    He had been having dreams for several days. However, he didn't remember much of their contents. He felt they were fun, yet he felt they were painful as well. He only remembered that every night he has been having a dream. On the other hand, those memories were so weak they could be forgotten in a few busy days.

    The dreams were losing him sleep and he felt absent-minded. As he was about to get out of bed, he realised a face was peering very closely over him. He sat up and his head collided with his observer's.

    "Ouch!"

    The red-haired man grasped his face and crouched in agony. Roxas sighed and said:

    "This is what happens when you stick your head out all of a sudden, Axel."

    "No mercy at all?"

    The red-haired man, Axel, complained as he stood up. He looked down at Roxas who was still sitting on his bed.

    "Why should I be merciful? It's your fault for sticking your head out when I'm waking up."

    "Is that any way to talk to a friend who just got back from a long mission?"

    "I don't remember being friends with you."

    Roxas got out of bed and, as if to ignore Axel, turned his back to him and donned a black coat.

    Axel had said they were "friends". In spite of this, it is an act that that can only be played by the realm of humans. It is a connection that cannot exist in Nobodies because they do not have hearts. Then again, Roxas was not sure what to call this particular closeness he had with Axel...No...This closeness was just stronger than that which he had with the other members.

    "So, what do you want?"

    "Xemnas is calling," answered Axel, sitting on Roxas' bed.

    "What about Marluxia and the others?"

    Axel hung his head slightly as Roxas asked.

    "Didn't they come back with you?"

    Axel slowly looked up at Roxas, who kept enquiring, and stared at him. Roxas began to feel uncomfortable and looked away.

    It had been a few months since Axel had been called to a place called Castle Oblivion on a mission. A handful of other members of the Organization, headed by Marluxia, had also gone there. In that castle's network of white rooms the Organization had conducted research. Roxas had no idea what had been researched, nor was he supposed to. Did Axel's return mean something had happened at Castle Oblivion?

    "So anyway, we have to go see Xemnas?"

    "Right," answered Axel as he stood up and yawned.

    As Roxas followed suit, Axel put his hand on his shoulder.

    "When that's done, why don't we have some ice-cream in Twilight Town?"

    "That's not a bad idea."

    Roxas looked up at Axel beside him and smiled. Eating ice-cream in that town is not bad at all.

    As the sun was setting in Twilight Town, the sound of playing children could be heard. Ice-cream in hand, the two walked towards the station.

    "We're going there, right?"

    "Yep."

    Roxas nibbled his ice-cream.

    "Hey, don't you start eating that yet," complained Axel.

    A ball rolled to a halt at Roxas' feet.

    "Sorry!" yelled a boy.

    "Damn Hayner!" shouted a girl from behind him, with another, slightly chubby boy trailing her.

    Roxas picked up the ball and threw it to them. The three thanked him, took the ball and ran off.

    "....They seem about your age."

    "What?"

    Axel looked away.

    "Nothing."

    Roxas looked puzzled for a moment before walking forward again. He gazed at a flock of birds which took off into the sky ahead of him.

    The castle in which the Organization had taken residence felt like a bird's cage. He spent the days at a loss about everything and he had been given a role he knew nothing about....

    Yes.... never told anything.

    Am I really supposed to be here?

    "Don't just stand there. Sit down."

    "What? Oh, right."

    The two had arrived at the clock-tower above the station. From there it was possible to look out onto the whole town. It was an important place for Roxas and Axel; it was where they had eaten ice-cream on the day they first met.

    "Your ice-cream's gonna melt."

    Roxas hurriedly put his ice-cream in his mouth.

    "I didn't quite understand that mission..."

    "Yeah..." replied Roxas, dimly.

    "I wonder what that crow was?"

    "Yeah..."

    Faced with nothing but short, glum answers, Axel let out a sigh.

    "Don't tell me you're still worried about what Xigbar said?"

    "Not really..."

    As Roxas rubbed his nose, a flock of birds flew past.

    "I suppose it must be fun, being able to fly like that."

    "...It certainly looks like it," said Axel as he had some more of his ice-cream.

    "I wonder how long we can stay like this..."

    As Roxas spoke, Axel looked up at him. Roxas probably felt like all he had to do, day after day, was missions to defeat Heartless. To be fair, all the missions that were given to him were precisely nothing but Heartless extermination. However, Axel felt this couldn't be helped. Roxas was special, both in the eyes of the Organization as well as his own. In the same way the Organization didn't want to tell Roxas anything, he didn't want to tell Roxas anything either.

    Is this the same as betraying Roxas?

    "We might not always be together."

    "What?"

    This time, Axel's sudden words surprised Roxas, who looked at him.

    "Hey, don't look at me like that."

    Axel turned away from Roxas and took a bite out of his ice-cream. Roxas didn't know of Axel's dilemma. Axel didn't know of Roxas' dilemma.

    "....We may not always be together... huh..." said Roxas.

    "We've got to make lots of memories," laughed Axel.

    "What are you on about?" asked Roxas, laughing along.

    Can beings without hearts have memories?

    "Nah, it's just..."

    It's just.... it's just that, even though Axel didn't have a heart, he felt something in his chest when he thought that Roxas might be going away.

    "Memories... huh..." mumbled Roxas to himself as he gazed at the setting sun.

    Next to him, Axel took a bite out of his ice-cream and he too stared into the sunset.


    Roxas and Axel walked through the castle that was falling into ruin.

    "I wonder what there is around here."

    At that moment, there was a sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere.

    "...Heartless."

    Two Keyblades appeared in Roxas' hands. As if interpreting it as a signal, Heartless surrounded them.

    "What a bore..."

    Setting himself back to back with Roxas, Axel's Chakrams appeared in his hands.

    "Don't tell me our mission consists of eliminating this lot?"

    "Don't ask me!"

    As Roxas answered Axel, he gave a Keyblade a swing. Axel looked impressed and whistled.

    "Alright Roxas!"

    "Don't waste your breath. Give me a hand!"

    "Yeah, yeah."

    Axel charged forward and struck. In no time at all, the two defeated all their foes and the castle was silent once more, void of any presence.

    "This actually might have been what our mission was..."

    As Axel tilted his head there was a fluttering of wings above them.

    "What's that?"

    Roxas craned his neck upwards and noticed a single bird-cage suspended from the ceiling. It seemed to be the source of the fluttering sound.

    "Shall we let it go?"

    Axel responded to Roxas' question by throwing a Chakram upwards which brought the cage down. A single crow flew out of its broken prison.

    "Well then, shall we get going?"

    "...Yeah," replied Roxas, as he glanced at the crow flying off into the distance before staring at the broken cage.

    Sitting on his marble chair, Roxas listened to Xemnas. He was saying five members including Marluxia had been eradicated by the Keyblade Wielder.

    "So the Keyblade Wielder has stopped...."

    Xaldin folded his arms.

    "The loss of Namine is a blow. How do you intend to take responsibility for it, Axel?" demanded Saix.

    "I fled back here on the verge of defeat! How am I supposed to be responsible?" retorted Axel.

    "Well, never mind. Perhaps we should ask the opinion of our own Keyblade bearer?" said Xigbar as he gazed at Roxas.

    "Well, I...."

    He didn�t have an opinion. Keyblade....the key to the worlds.

    All he knew was that he had the same power as him, no more, no less. He was with the Organization because he had nowhere else to go and wasn�t even certain he wanted to retrieve his lost heart.

    "Sora."

    Roxas looked up at Xigbar's unprovoked call.

    Sora?

    He felt he�d heard that name before.

    "What on earth�s that?" asked Demyx.

    "Haha� I see, you don�t know anything," chuckled Xigbar.

    Saix snorted, Axel frowned and Demyx tilted his head. Luxord, Xaldin and Xemnas remained impassive.

    Their individual reactions were worrisome.

    "The fact that the Keyblade Wielder has gone into sleep matters not," said Xemnas, easing the tension that had built up at Xigbar's words. "Axel, you will take Roxas to Hollow Bastion. It appears something is afoot around the Keyhole."

    "But I just got back!" replied Axel indignantly at Xemnas' order.

    "It is your punishment for letting Namine escape."

    As soon as he finished talking, Xemnas disappeared.

    In the darkness in between, Axel and Roxas headed towards Hollow Bastion. This ability to traverse the corridors of Darkness connected to various places in various worlds was another one specific to Organization XIII.

    "Man.... Give me a break!"

    Roxas quietly trailed after an irritable Axel with his hood up.

    Sora... Keyblade.... How confusing....

    "When this is over we'll definitely get some ice-cream! Got it memorized?"

    Axel turned on his heels and faced Roxas.

    ".... Sora."

    As Roxas pronounced that name, Axel sulked.

    "Don�t worry about anything Xigbar says."

    "It's not like I want to worry but... it�s just nagging me..." replied Roxas, who stopped.

    "Axel.... you know Sora, right?"

    Axel looked troubled for a moment and then gazed into Roxas� face.

    "I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

    "Why?"

    ".... Because you don't need to know."

    Axel turned his back to Roxas. There was no need for Roxas to know of the connection between Roxas and Sora... No, he didn�t want him to know.

    Roxas, the special Nobody... and the Keyblade Wielder...

    Axel wondered how long he would have to continue to lie to Xemnas.

    He wondered how long he would have to continue to lie to Roxas.

    "Axel!"

    "What?"

    "I want to know."

    "What?"

    "....I don't know."

    Roxas looked bewildered again.

    He had nothing... He understood nothing. He felt uneasy because something seemed to be happening to do with a part of himself he didn't know of.

    "Why does the Organization exist?"

    "To gather hearts."

    Axel answered Roxas' question so fast he had probably been preparing for it. Roxas remained perplex.

    "Hey, there's no point thinking about that sort of thing... Let's go. We'll have some ice-cream when we're done."

    Axel put a hand on Roxas' shoulder and looked ahead.

    That Darkness ahead of them gave out onto Hollow Bastion.

    Ok guys it's time for Chain of Memories. I also forgot completly about Saix, so he's been added in, best of all he has TWO face renders, in Berserker (Which was always so freaking hard to see since it was only in-game battle. And his Normal face.

    Hey guys, with the Another Report now done, it's time we moved on to other things, of course keeping everything said with Another Report now done. So instead of mindlessly scrambling renders on every now and then, it's going to be a daily update with certain types of Renders. For today we're doing everything that relates to someone wearing an Organization XIII Coat!

    These are exclusive renders of KHV and if you wish to use them, please credit us. As there have been a few sites who've lacked to do that. And I don't plan on watermarking these, even if you don't credit KHV however there might be a blacklist...and you wouldn't like that. You can do whatever you wish with these models, make a sig, make a wallpaper. As these images will all be in .png format, making the background easily edible to your liking! Also note the program to use this is not KHV exclusive, but is Yaz0r's program.


    Edit: If the Organizations are colored weirdly do not fret, as when you click on them they will return to normal!

    Well, here's the rest of it. Hope everyone has enjoyed it ^_^ Alot of thanks to The Wertle for translating all of this!

    Once again to read reports I-XIII click Here

    XII - Of the people that appear in the new secret movie "Birth By Sleep" that was added to KHII:FM, several names and figures are recognizable and must be extremely meaningful. Giving specifics is likely impossible, but could you give us a hint? Furthermore, do the 3 armored figures that appear there and the similar looking armored figure in the Last Battle have some relation to Xemnas?

    For the recognizable figures and the recognizable faces, reaching the secret this time is extremely difficult, but I think the video is fairly spectacular and will stir you imaginations. The armored figures have a connection to Xemnas but after all I can't give any specifics at the present stage. But, the video this time has a foreboding opening and please think of the figures ahead as having reason and a hinting connection.


    XIII - Lastly, has Sora's journey come to an end this time? Before you told us "I have the end of Kingdom Hearts in my head", but does this mean that Sora won't be there? There seem to be new developments with the Kingdom Hearts Series, so can you please tell us within the present limits any hints?

    Without recalling too much about the mysteries and problems of the outline remaining for KH series thus far, I don't think that Sora's journey is over. If you get to see the ending of KHII I think you will be able to sense some new premonitions. About what I said about the "end" of KH, of course I won't be able to say anything about that yet, but if the numbering of KH were to go to "III", I doubt that Sora would have no relation to it. And even if I wrap up Kingdom Hearts, I don't think that Sora will be irrelevant.


    Also, there are many new developments. I think that the news will be able to satisfy the widely supportive KH fans everywhere. Because there is still more to say about this "new" thing, please dare to think with a different flow, rather than just going with what's mainstream. I will give you a hint about the contents of one of the numerous developments. In the freshly added secret movie a phrase comes out, "Fate doesn't happen by accident, there is necessity".

    In the near future, when you experience the new Kingdom Hearts, please see about opening this book. I think surely some of these points will tie together. And also at that time, it would be very fortunate if all the fans everywhere have a good time with it. Until an announcement comes, please have your fill of fun with this game and look forward to the next.

    Hey guys, KairiLi, a KH Fanatic~ a great one at that. Managed to come back from Night in Fantasia concert, which featured various game music, including Kingdom Hearts!

    -Kingdom Hearts II - Fantasia Alla Marcle for Piano, Chorus was very well performed by both chorus and orchestra, however, being a major KH2 fan I had some nitpicks.

    A: The piano kept getting overshadowed by orchestra in alot of places where the main motif was being played by the piano, particularly when we got to Deep Dive's "Another Side " track, I can barely hear it.

    B: When Destati was sung, the chorus sung "Ahs" and not the lyrics, which was a little disappointing as this was a highlight of the suite and KH in general. Ah well.

    Destati! Tendi la mano Awaken! Extend your hand
    E' giunta l'ora, destati The time has come: wake up
    Le porte verranno schiuse The doors will open again

    Su rimembra tu trepida Come on, remember, anxious one
    Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda Come on, wake up! Remember

    Destati, destati Awaken, awaken
    Forza, tendi la mano Here, extend your hand
    Destati, destati Awaken, awaken
    E' giunta l'ora The time has come

    E ancora una volta And once again
    Apriranno le porte They will open the door

    (repeat)

    Eh? Come? Non lo vuoi? Huh? What? Don't you want it?
    Tuttavia t'appartiene But it belongs to you
    Cio che hai perduto That which you have lost
    Diventera uno!
    Despite the above, it was still an amazing experience to hear this live, and the ending note was so damn epic, powerful, emotional and just plain awesome.



    -Yoko was surprised and seemed impressed when I asked her to sign the complete 9 disk KH OST set. I told her that what she did for KH was amazing and its probably my fav game music ever.
    Everyone else like Otani and Mitsuda san were all very nice. And they all looked awesome too. Shiina and Mitsuda's hair stood out
    And to wrap it all up, KairiLi sent me an image of the Kingdom Hearts Complete OST with Yoko Shimoura's Autograph!

    Hey guys, Part XI is now up! Only two more left. Once again to view all that we have so far click Here.

    XI - Concerning the keyword Keyblade War, could you be a little more specific about that? Could it be related to the "Fairytale of Children and Light" that Kairi's Grandmother told?(footnote: In Kingdom Heats, Sora experienced Kairi's memories. It was the scene when Kairi's Grandmother told her an old story when she was still young. It was about when worlds were swallowed by darkness, children used the power of fragments of light to rebuild worlds.)

    To tell the story about the Keyblade War we need the capacity of hi-spec hardware and we need to accumulate all of our knowledge on this hardware. And in telling this story, we will need to tell it in seperate episodes, and how specifically to tell it has yet to be figured out.

    As for the fairytale that Kairi heard, for everyone to feel like such and old fairytale is real, I think we need a little more time. That is to say, to talk specifically about either this soon might perhaps be irrelevant.

    Next Time: XII - Of the people that appear in the new secret movie "Birth By Sleep" that was added to KHII:FM, several names faces and figures are recognizable and must be extremely meaningful. Giving specifics is likely impossible, but could you give us a hint? Furthermore, do the 3 armored figures that appear there and the similar looking armored figure in the Last Battle have some relation to Xemnas?

    Hey guys, the tenth part of the report is now out! Meaning we have 3 more parts to go after this one! To view all of the latest reports Here.

    X - KH's Ansem (Xehanort) seems to have thoroughly gotten rid of his own heart, but Xemnas (Xehanort) commanding Organization XIII is seeking a fresh heart. If I understand that in becoming a heartless and a nobody, they became 2 different people, would their minds then as well become seperate? Also, the original Xehanort should have some memory loss but in the additional scenes this time there seem to be some questionable parts. Have his memories returned, or perhaps the memory loss itself was a lie?

    In essence, the two are the same. However, they function under seperate minds. Xehanort most certainly got rid of his heart, and at that time it's assumed a Nobody was born. The means of obtaining their goal is different due to the nature of Heartless and Nobodies. However. I think for both of them the desire "to become a complete existence" is the same. This time the new mysterious keyword "Xehanort's memories" is left behind. In the "Secret Ansem Report" that Ansem the Wise wrote and mysteriously left behind, there is a hidden secret that will have a big influence on KH. As for the contents of his memories and the present condition of them, I cannot reveal that just yet.

    Next Time: About the Keyblade War, and other further developments of KH

    XI - Concerning the keyword Keyblade War, could you be a little more specific about that? Could it be related to the "Fairytale of Children and Light" that Kairi's Grandmother told?(footnote: In Kingdom Heats, Sora experienced Kairi's memories. It was the scene when Kairi's Grandmother told her an old story when she was still young. It was about when worlds were swallowed by darkness, children used the power of fragments of light to rebuild worlds.)
