  1. Xaldin ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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.

      Nomura didn't even beat T.E.S. yet. T_T

      Thanks Xaldin.

      Yes, there is a 3rd form to Marluxia.

      Graceful Assasin - Regular Form
      Scythe of Petals - When he enters that Nobody combination form.
      Lord of The Castle - 3rd fight. Lord might come before Scythe - maybe even Graceful.

      I know the songs because I now have the complete soundtrack.

      All 200 something songs that are taking a lot of space up. T_T
    15. Shadows Of Oblivion
      Shadows Of Oblivion
      Just wondering... in another thread it said one of the conditions for getting the secret movie in Standard and Proud was beating all OXIII members...

      Does that mean we have to beat them in both optional battles to get the secret movie?

      Haven't you been listening around the internet about Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix? It says that they will release in the United States later this year in the fall. So don't worry. They'll give us a piece of japenese pie, unlike KH1 Final Mix. That annoyed me because I've played every single game when it was released in the U.S. The first reason I got Kingdom Hearts was because it had Disney characters in it and I was little.I was only about eight years old at the time. When I started playing I was so anxious to get to Donald and Goofy, but I had no idea what to do. I asked my father to sell it, and I regreted it because Chain Of Memories came out in 2004, and I avoided it for as long as I could. Until my friends constantly used to tell me that its a fun game, so I went out and bought it. I was staring at my gameboy in disgust! The card system was the worst thing they added in that game. If they remade it into a regular game, I would BUY it, but I sold it. Then Kingdom Hearts 2 came out. I rushed and rented it to see if it was good, and well... IT WAS AMAZING! I bought it and played endless hours into the game, saving the money for Kingdom Hearts, and I was able to play into it very easily. I felt like such a ****** when I recalled when I sold it. I hopefully won't do that with any other Square-Enix game ever again.

      Men...the battle against Roxas must be amazing.....I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT!!!!


      Nope, you just have to beat in Standart or in Proud you don't need to do the 2 of them.

      Playgame38
      I had no idea that alot of FM+ was staff created!!

      Thanks Xaldin

      No, it is not coming out. Haven't you been listening?

      That was a rumor from a fan magazine. Square Enix & Nomura have nothing to do with it. Nomura already stated he has no plans to release it here. You just have to get in Japanese.

      For getting the secret ending on proud/standard, they do mean clear all Organization battles.

      I know because, you can't skip any of the regular battles with them, and it's the entire organization, so it means the data of the thirteenth order.

      Yes, yes you do Desmonic.

      Cool, I shot down two members in one post.
