Kingdom Hearts Discussion (1, CoM, 2, and *possible 3*)

Here are a bunch of animated face pictures, from CoM. I figured since I was making them for http://www.kh2.co.uk/forums, that I'd share them with those who like KH here. Smile

(I like putting them in quote boxes, makes it easier to pick out the one you want Wink )

I played a little bit of Kingdom Hearts at my friend's house. It was fun, I thought! ^__^

I do have some Rikus:



Not all of them, and I have a Sora or two:

Square Enix has announced the release of 6 high quality Kingdom Hearts statues.
The PVC statues will be released on 15 April 2005 and will costs 780 Yen each (819 incl. tax)

Apparently they'll come in 2 different versions, full color and monotone (silver or clear?)

More info can be found on the official Kingdom Hearts Formation Arts store. (Japanese)

Click on the pictures below for a larger version.

Sora


Donald Duck


Jack Skellington


Maleficent


Hades


Heartless/Shadow


Yes, I know the question on everyone's mind "Where's Riku?!", well maybe they'll make more I dunno.

If I had money I'd buy them for sure. Btw,
780.00 JPY=7.61177 USD

1 JPY = 0.00975868 USD-----------1 USD = 102.473 JPY

So I think that's like under $10! Shocked
Volt 01-12-2005 11:01 PM
That Donald statue is the SHNIZZLE. I need one of those. It looks like it just may usurp my Halo 2 Brute action figure's reign over the top of my computer monitor. A KH2 Sora one would be awesome (he's too annoying and short looking in KH and CoM), and even though it's a long shot, an Axel statue would just be uber.

???: Do you sense Sora?
Kairi: Riku, I, and that boy, we were playing happily on that island. But, his voice... It's left me.

Sweet! Mickey looks awesome, and rightfully so. Knowing what he says there makes it even cooler. I'm going to need to get me a better pic of him from that scene for my avatar.

Wow, Stitch, that was a shocker. My dad happens to be a big fan of that movie, so I plan on showing it to him.
R.Smith 11-16-2005 11:16 AM
The new trailer is now on the Official KH2 Website (last link on the main menu, then first camera icon), being able to see it clearly shows just how awesome a trailer it is. Big Grin

V-Jump Scans
New scans have emerged showing off a new Order member, Sora in yellow form, Vivi, in addition to Seifer, Raijin and Fujin.




Here are a few quick translations:
  • The yellow drive form is called "Master Form"
  • The keychain from Master Form represents CoM
  • The name of the revealed organization member is "Xigbal"
  • Fuujin is called "Fuu" instead
  • Raijin is called "Rai" instead
  • Vivi and Seifers names remain the same
  • Pete and Maleficient are to meet
  • Vivi helps Seifer
  • Seifer says: "Why is it that I can't stand the sight of you?"

NA News
Square Enix President Yochi Wada announced that the overseas(North American) version of Kingdom Hearts 2 should be ready next March!

Also Cory Burton will be playing the role of Yesnid and Captain Hook(Neverland still unconfirmed) and Hedy Buress has been confirmed to have a role in Kingdom Hearts 2 as well.... meaning Yuna.



Figured since I've brought this topic back, I might as well keep it up to date. Big Grin

Weekly Famitsu & V-Jump Scan
The latest issue of Famitsu has now been scanned and includes several new images of Cid, Yuffie, Squall and Merlin. In addition, there is also a clear scan of the new V-Jump.




Yuffie [Image 1]: I had a feeling I would meet up with you again!
Merlin [Image 2]: I trust I can leave the rest up to you?
Seifer [Image 3]: Why is it that I can't stand the sight of you?
Vivi [Image 4]: Don't mock me.
Rai [Image 5]: We/I won't forgive you.
Xigbal [Image 6]: Whozzat?!
Cid [Image 7]: Your magic seems too complicated to use, gramps.

The rest is old and the big black aside at the bottom of both pages is just a brief overview of the characteristics of the 3 games.
BTW; any suspicion as to these FF characters' locations should fade: they are in Hollow Bastion. Period.

Rest is non-committing but for the fact that in Master form, the keyblade that should be held in the left hand is at a slight distance from the palm. (not both, as it has been suggested).

Passion music and video
In very exciting news, the official theme song of Kingdom Hearts 2 by Utada Hikaru (called "Passion") has now been leaked onto the internet, along with the Music Video. Below you can get downloads of both:

[SONG - Click Here To Download] [4.2mb] [4.30min]
[VIDEO - Click Here To Download] [27.1mb]

Credit goes to my friend Ido for encoding the music video.

It's a beautiful song and I feel will suit KH2 perfectly Smile


Rough translation (note that this is a very rough version, plus most japanese emotional songs don't make sense when directly translated):

Thinking about it far, far back
The future was shining everywhere
Beneath a beautiful blue sky
We were only afraid slightly.

The window is dyed in a familiar colour.

If we keep heading forwards will we meet again?
The future continues to infinity
Beneath the big signboard,
We were looking at the changes of our era.

To the people we'll never meet again there
We'll open a window.

Thinking about it far, far back
The future was shining everywhere.
And beneath a beautiful blue sky
We were sleeping forever.

Those people we loved long ago
It looks like a child will be born in winter
Those things that were certain long ago
We would like to question them.
Those things we could never forget
Are like mementos attached to a photograph.
Those things we couldn't do,
I will remember them fondly.

Snippets of info from 2ch

New bits of info, possibly from the Dengeki issue we've being waiting for, have emerged:
  • You use the circle, square and triangle buttons during summons and use up your drive gauge.
  • Stitch's commands are; Circle: Shot - Square: Ukulele
  • A screen with an effeminate Order member was seen
  • Fuu: Tournament. Go!
  • Pooh hasen't only forgotten Sora but his other Hundred Acre wood companions as well.


According to the interview:
  • Tron is the last "surprise" world.
  • There are Light Cycles
  • Given that the computer is an oldish style one, it will make noises accordingly.
  • The development of the story in Atlantica is like a musical where the player can participate now and then.
  • If, during this participation, you succeed, a "good" scene will show, should you fail, a "bad" one will. The outcomes of these participations do not influence the general story development.
  • Given that there were complaints as to the playability of the world in the previous instalment the world was to be played as a musical.
  • Though "Master" Form sounds quite conclusive, there are at least 2 other slightly hidden Forms in the game.
  • Vivi was included because of the number of requests.


Also:
  • There is a town within Hollow Bastion. Moogles will also make an appearance.
  • Xigbal is no.2 in the XIII Order




quote:
Degeki PS Effeminate Order Member
Found a shot from Dengeki PS that shows the "effeminate Order member" in Hollow Bastion.

NOTE: We do NOT know if the person shown is a female!
Translation: ???: I'm sayin' that perhaps you should be reminded how powerful your opponent is.

Latest Famitsu Details Reviewed
According to a japanese blog, the latest Famitsu holds the following details:
  • The new Order member is Xighar, not Xigbald.
  • Xighar: "No, you weren't a good child."
  • Sora gets to be airborne for a very long time in Master Form
    It also looks as though he has to fight alone.
  • Donaflare goes as Rocketflare (missiles appear and target enemies around you) and Mega Donaflare (same but with a massive explosion range and power)
  • KnockRush goes as Knock Rush (Goofy throws his shields at Sora who flings it at enemies with his Keyblade), Twin Raid (Sora and Goofy fling each other's weapons and fling them at enemies.) and Cosmo Boost (Goofy rushes and deals damage).
  • Reprogram goes as Cluster Code (Sora uses the spirit of the data to deal damage), Burst Pulse (Ditto but with Tron) and Reprogram (Summons a huge spirit of data to damage enemies)
  • Gopher and Kanga are to appear in the Hundred Acre Wood.
    In one of the minigames, Pooh rides on Sora's back while Sora fills up the honey pot Pooh is holding while avoiding obstacles and objects such as snowballs.
  • Stitch's thrid summon skill, activated by the triangle Button, is called Finish
  • During a summon, the Drive gauge becomes a Summon gauge
  • The infamous war scene does not happen in Hollow Bastion? (I doubt this is news or even information as the writer seems doubtful as well)
