Hey guys, while we're on the wait, some people e-mailed me about certain questions, well anyways here are some pictures to answer them. Found them from a Japanese Blog Website. Cave of Rememberance Puzzle Mode Weapons Christmas Results Part 2 will feature on XIII Mushrooms Tomorrow
Ok guys, I didn't expect a Dengeki interview to literally pop-up right after the April Fools, but one did come up...some of the questions scared me but this one is legit! IGN: April 2, 2007 - With Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix + Re: Chain of Memories at last out in Japan, Tetsuya Nomura and crew can now devote all their energy to their next project. And that appears to be another Kingdom Hearts game, or at least another tie-up with Disney. But is it Kingdom Hearts III? Speaking with Japan's Gemaga and Dengeki PlayStation publications, Nomura gave a few hints on the new project, which he's previously hinted would see formal announcement later this year. Gemaga asked if the characters who appear in the new CG "secret movie" that has been added to Final Mix are from the new title. "They are people who have some relation to the new series," said the producer. "However the next title won't just be Kingdom Hearts III. If it were III, we wouldn't call it a new series." Asked if Sora and Riku would make an appearance in the new game, he said with a laugh, "I can't say." He also hinted that the new game would have something to do with Xehanort, the main villain of the Kingdom Hearts series. He was just as direct when Dengeki PlayStation asked for some details on the new title. "First, it's not Kingdom Hearts III. Of course, because we're calling it a 'new' series, it won't be KHIII. Also, it's a series, so it probably won't be just one title." Nomura once again promised an announcement of the new game, whatever it may be, some time this year. In the meanwhile, he suggested that players attempt to unlock the Final Mix secret movie and start imagining. Source: FF13Vids and IGN
Hey guys, remember that interview that was posted a while ago that was very very convincing? -Bows head apologetically- Sorry, it went way too far out of hand. I didn't expect such an article to look so real, even when it contradicted part of things Nomura said, so with that done.

Hey guys the latest Famitsu Magazine featured a rather interesting cover of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+. The image is small right now sadly but hopefully we'll get a bigger scan later. And when I say interesting I mean INTERESTINGLY ODD. Source: FF&KH Blog Important Note For those that did not see Deathspank's request topic please click Here.
Hey guys ever since KH2FM+ it seems interviews have been coming left and right, however this time it's from a magazine! Here we go! Nomura Interview - A Part of the latest secret movie is related to the new series. - You will have EXP 0 at the beginning of Critical Mode, it's for those that might find Critical Mode too easy. It will be seriously bad for you though if yo accidentally equip it. - At the top of Pridelands there use to be exactly 144 heartless there, however this time they have become one body. (Eh? Well so much for you EXP Hoggers) - Making the E.S an Optional Boss Fight was a staff member's Idea. - As for the battle against the XIIIth Order they have changed alot. - At a new scene, when Zexion is walking, he suddenly stops as though he's thinking of something. It's up to the player to think of why Zexion stopped. - The XIII Mushroom was an idea from the staff ever since Kingdom Hearts II Was developed. Though back then it was too big to put into the game, therefore it was added as a Sidequest for this one. - For the Roxas battle and new element. At first Nomura WAS going to put the Roxas fight in Kingdom Hearts II but due to the time consumption in the end he took the fight out. He also wanted to add an additional bit to that event, and a new form. He was thinking about the abilities that could reside around Kingdom Hearts I. - The Music of the battle against Roxas after the battle, was meant to value the event completly. When Nomura did the battle against Roxas, he wanted to convince the people about how emotional the battle was, therefore created an event after the battle. The battle music he saw as "Different" for when he had Sora face up against Roxas. - There are some changes in the game the staff made that even "I" don't know about. (That's what I call putting trust in staff members) - re:COM was made more from a less justifying view first. It seemed as Nomura wanted to make the camera like Kingdom Hearts, but it would be hard for the team to fully do this, so he changed it around. - The team also did a couple of changes for the Last Boss against Sora. I took charge for this battle. It seemed to be *** of **** of Sora. (Yes the *** were censored in the magazine) - All he can say is that it has to do with Marluxia and it is a very very painful attack. - The New series is not Kingdom Hearts III (Nomura wants to make sure you remember that.) Interview with Shimomura - For re:COM she and the team worked day in, and day out, though this was only for the battle music. She wanted to have different feelings such as "Happy Battle" "Sad Battle" and a "Terrible Music". There also something about a "Third Form" added to the Last boss. (Confused me there slightly) - Yoko Shimomura put ALL her work and effort in the Roxas battle music. He was pushed to his limit. The battle is meant to be very very emotional. Nomura believed Shimomura already met the standards, but Shimomura wanted to push herself further. Extra There are two versions of the XIII Organization fights. The first one is scattered throughout the Worlds, and Nomura stated no one at all should have any trouble with these. However for the re-fights in the new area. They will have to at least be level 99 if they want to stand a chance. Source: Light in the Chaos

The FF13vids blogger posted some new information regarding Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ as well as Sora's involvement in Kingdom Hearts III. Sadly we don't get to know the full questions so I will state the points. Before we start though, for those having trouble with the video with audio you can now view it below: Edit: Since alot of people wanted both endings mixed together, as well as me being curious, I did so. Here's the result Both Secret Ending Collaboration And download it Here thanks to Sephiroth's Heart - Nomura does not expect anyone to defeat the Knight first try. - Nomura hasn't even found a way to defeat the Knight yet (Laugh). - It was the battle of Roxas he wanted mostly added to the game, he set Roxas to be as strong as he could (For Roxas that is) so that no one would feel as though Roxas was too weak. - The person who appears in the armor, in the battle and secret ending is related to the new series. However the next work will not be known as "Kingdom Hearts III" - Nomura cannot say yet if Riku and Sora will be in it.. - The reason why Mickey's back is faced towards the camera was because Nomura thought it'd look cool.

Apparently according to 2ch which a later poster said it was from "ANOTHER REPORT" It gives the conditions to be viewing the secret ending, and here it is for you KH2FM+ owners! Secret Ending Beginner Mode - Impossible Standard Mode - Beat all Organization Battles. Complete All Worlds. Complete the Memo. Defeat the E.S.

Limit Form Limit form is apparently obtained when you are in Twilight Town's Second Visit. The abilities include Dodgeroll, Ragnarok, Strike Raid. You also earn "Auto Limit" at the same time. Organization XIII Heartless The Organization XIII Heartless apparently only appear in two areas. Hollow Bastion, and Twilight Town. A new keyblade is earned after defeating them all. Critical Mode details Here are the details. You earn a few extra abilities such as. "Experience 0" "Reaction Improvement" and an extra "Finish Plus" MP Haste is attached in the beginning .

Hey guys a few extra images from Another Report came, one features a short analysis of the Secret Ending we've come to know as "Deep Dive" which is nothing special, however the second one is the Menu Screen for "Reverse Rebirth"! You can also faintly see Theater Mode at the bottom. Source: FFKH Blog
Hey guys the Another Report book featured an interview with Nomura, the interview had some interesting questions asked. Question: Please can you hint us anything about the keyblade war? Answer: It is really hard to explain the high specs and capacity of the war, and the keyblades. Though it is alright to talk about the episode between those two. Question: Does Sora and the other's journey end here? I hope for more Kingdom Hearts series! Answer: I believe Sora's will needed when there is a KH3. Infact I think Sora will be needed by the end of the Kingdom Hearts Series. It should be noted that the keyword in this is "Developments". Please think of this as a new section, because it is not announced as the main line of the Kingdom Hearts series. Source: FF13vids and KH-2.net for notifying me.
These will be the final set, that we'll post for these, unless it's the instruction booklet. Anyways, the main reason why this is being done is because people are curious if the game is "Single Layered" or not. Well it's a 2 disc set of course. Here are the images to prove so. Also 2ch has put some of their impressions on Critical Mode. Some are stating that Critical Mode not only makes the enemies harder, it gives you even less experience. One died three times trying to make it up to Twilight Thorn (The first Nobody boss you fight with Roxas) Source: 2ch
