Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix

4 Difficulties:

- Beginner
- Standard
- Proud
- Critical

New Modes:

- Theatre Mode
- Piece Collection Mode

Theatre Mode includes cutscenes in both Japanese and English and is only unlocked after the completion of both Re: Chain of Memories and Final Mix.

Piece Collection Mode includes 6 pieces of Tetsuya Nomura Artwork. They’re like jigsaw puzzles, and the pieces are collected through the Crown Quest. So far, a 48 piece puzzle and a 12 piece puzzle have been seen, which means there could be over 100 pieces to collect in all.

The Crown Quest includes crown tokens to be found in many different worlds. Sora has been seen wearing a crown which is confirmed as a new accessory, which could be the prize for completing the quest.

New Weapons

Goofy has been seen with Vexen’s Shield which is presumably a prize for defeating Vexen. Sora has been seen with an unusual-looking Keyblade which could also be received from the Vexen battle. There will most likely be many more extra weapons.

New Items and Accessories

Although nothing has been said about an update to the Synthesis system, there will be new items and accessories in the game.

New Scenes (in no particular order)

- Roxas and Axel in Twilight Town

New Battles (in no particular order)

- Sora VS. Lexaeus
- Sora VS. Zexion (who’s weapon is the ‘Mirage Book’)
- Sora VS. Saïx
- Sora VS. Marluxia
- Sora VS. Larxene
- Sora VS. Enigmatic Soldier (Secret Boss – According to Nomura, it’s the hardest Kingdom Hearts Boss ever - He has 17 Health Bars)

All of the other Organization Members can be battled optionally too, as well as compulsorily during the game.

New Areas

There are new areas in Hollow Bastion to access the Organization Battle Arena – These new areas can only be accessed through a series of puzzles and Glide is needed.

There is also a new area to battle the Enigmatic Soldier.

New Costumes

Sora will be wearing a new Halloween costume in Christmas Town, possibly along with Donald and Goofy.

New Enemies

There will be new types of Heartless, although it’s unknown whether there will be more types of Nobodies.

The 13 Organization Mushroom Heartless are included in the game seen in multiple locations, but they are altogether in Hollow Bastion. It is still unknown exactly what needs to be done when you encounter them, but they apparently have features related to the 13 Organization Members.

New Form and Abilities ‘Limit Form’ will now be available at some point during the game, which resembles Sora’s outfit from the original Kingdom Hearts and features the abilities ‘Dodge Roll’, ‘Strike Raid’, and ‘Ragnarok’.

“Another Reportâ€

People who preordered the game will get “Another Report†which is a small book in Japanese. Little is known about what’s in it although there may be an interview about the project later in the year.
