For those of you who care, the official website has opened. Of course, it's in Japanese. At the main screen, it says "Hajimemashite! Onamae wa nandeshouka?" and a bunch more stuff I can't read (cuz of the lack of Kanji knowledge) but it translates to "Pleased to meet you! What is your name?" In the grey box, it says "Koko ni nyuryokushite ne" or "imput it [your name] here" Put your name in, and click the red button, and you're in.
And from the new trailer on the website, it looks to be amazing insane.

And so you can get around:

No date as of yet; my guess is that the silver-haired guy in the special movie at the end of the first game is Riku; and yes, Kairi is cute, lol.
@Muerte: It will be.
Also!
"In an interview with Japanese publication Dorimaga Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura talked about his current projects. With Square Enix opening the official Japanese website for the highly anticipated sequel of its 2002 action RPG Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II for PlayStation 2, Nomura explained that his team was currently putting the finishing touches on the game's main story. The scenario and voice acting were also pretty much done by now. He also commented on the length of the sequel, saying the volume of the story was 2.5 times as long as in the original game. Nomura however also acknowledged that Square Enix might have announced the game too early in its development cycle, leaving fans wondering whether development had been hit by any delays. In fact, there had been no delays and slowly but surely the release date was coming into sight."

It's also on the trailer for the game (it's a flash movie, but he's in there).

Probably me. But they only have a little to do with development. THey just license their characters to SE to use. _________________

I think you needed to find all the secret tidbits to view that. It's always good to get a reward in games for your hard work... _________________

Yep. You have to get all 99 puppies, win the hades cup at the coliseum, and seal all the keyholes to all the worlds, including the Hundred Acre Woods.

New info, yo.
From RPGFan.com:
Quote: | At Square Enix's booth, fans swarmed around the Kingdom Hearts II display to get a chance to play one of the many playable demos available. RPGFan had the chance to speak with Square Enix and play the upcoming title. Here's what we learned.
Kingdom Hearts II features many of the same characters from the previous games, along with their authentic voice actors. Haley Joel Osmond returns to do voices for Sora, James Woods voices Hades, Ming Na voices Mulan, etc. The world of Mulan is one of many new worlds in Kingdom Hearts II; another new area will be made to incorporate characters from Pirates of the Caribbean.
The playable demo featured gameplay with Sora, Goofy, Donald, and, as previously announced, Auron. For battles, Sora has a "dual tech" ability with Auron called "Bushido", which happens real-time despite its looking like a "cutscene" attack. We were told that it is "likely" that other playable characters will have dual tech abilities, though in the playable demo, Mulan did not have one with Sora.
Battling has also had a major facelift from the first game. One new feature, currently being called the "situational action" feature, allows Sora to have unique interactions with different enemies and bosses. Above the "attack" option in the lower-left hand menu, there is a "commands" menu: when the option to perform a situational action happens, the name of the action will appear in the commands menu, and hitting triangle allows the action to be performed. This helps tremendously in doing away with the "hack and slash" feel of the previous Kingdom Hearts games.
Also new to gameplay is the "drive" feature, which allows Sora to fight with two keyblades and maneuver much more quickly. The "drive gauge" is filled by defeating enemies, and using the drive takes either Goofy or Donald off of the field. Once switching to "drive" mode, the gauge slowly decreases over time, much like Riku's "dark mode" from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for GBA.
Graphically, the game looks much smoother and less "jagged" in terms of polygons.
Little was revealed regarding the game's plot, though trailers have indicated that the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories will hold significant relevance in Kingdom Hearts II.
Square Enix still has yet to solidify a release date for Kingdom Hearts II, but US fans can expect to have it before the year is out. RPGFan will continue to cover this title as details are released over the next few months. |
Means I gotta beat Chain of Memories... _________________
