Kingdom Hearts II The Worlds

I know there were new worlds added, like TWTNW, Twilight Town, Pride Lands, and the extension of Christmas Town in Halloween Town, Port Royal, etc. I was just wondering, some of the world's features have been changed around, like Halloween Town in KH didn't look like it did now, and Wonderland and so on were missing. How come they took out most of the worlds? Was it because they wanted to have less worlds and harder battles?

 

I think it's becuase you visit them twice.

 

Maybe they didn't find those worlds as fun to play a second time...due to a more serious story line.

 

I think it was 'cause they were trying to go bigger. The other Words had limited potential and they wanted change things up a bit.
It only ended up making the worlds too linear though. One of the few gripes I had with KHII.

 

Yeah, but couldn't they have kept the old worlds and just added new bosses to them?

 

...

 

it's cause if you played the same worlds as in the first game you're just basically playing the same game again with cooler skills...

 

Most of them would just be a waste of space. The only world worthy of returning would've been Neverland, since they had tons to add to that storyline. They coulda had the forest with the Lost Boys, the mermaids cove, and ACTUAL Neverland..

Meh, maybe it would've been too bothersome to add all that, or maybe they just wanted to knock 'em off 'cos they weren't that good. I personally hated all of the worlds that never made a return.

Countless reasons, lots of theories.
