Kingdom Hearts 2: Der Countdown beginnt...

[Laharl]

So,wie es aussieht hat es auch ein FF6 Charakter in KH2 geschafft.Hmm was werden wir wohl noch zu sehen bekommen?
Terra?
Oder sogar jemanden aus FF4 (passend zum GBA Remake)?

Ich finds auf jeden fall saucool,zumal ich Setzer recht gerne mag

[Master]

Na toll jetzt hast den Überraschungsmoment verdorben.^^

Setzer... ich habe es selbst nicht so recht geglaubt als ich vor einigen Tagen irgendwelche Spekulationen über ihn in den Gamefaqs Boards gelesen hab. Doch eben vor über eine Stunde sah ich den Scan.^^

Aber hey es ist cool das es ein FFVI Charakter in KHII geschafft hat und dann auch noch Setzer.^^ Allerdings erinnert mich seine Frisur leicht an die von Axel*lol^^

[Riku]

Hab die ganzen News schon bei diversen KH2 Seiten gelesen und ich kann nur sagen:
Gehirn-Überlastung ... zu viele Informationen o_o. Ich muss dieses Spiel unbedingt haben, nur noch 2 Wochen, Z W E I Wochen. *muss durchhalten* Und der Sora der in dem Twilight Town Zug sitzt, ist angeblich Die Kindversion von Sora O_O

[Holystar]

Whoa... Setzer... das ist ja ne coole Sache. Ueberhaupt hab ich langsam das Gefühl, dass KH2 irgendwie den 3-fachen Umfang verglichen mit KH1 haben wird.... sooo viel Dinge, die SE da unterbringt. Wunderbar...


Und, noch besser ist, dass jetzt scheinbar doch non-Amano Charas vorkommen "dürfen" (und vorkommen werden).

[Rabs]

WAHHH, ich will endlich den Trailer sehen! Bilder daraus sind zwar fein und nett aber der komplette Trailer wär doch schonmal ein prima, vorzeitiges, Weihnachtsgeschenkk^^.

*deutet auf Bild 2* Ein Wiedersehen zwischen Kairi und Sora ^^ Auch wenns Klischee pur ist, ich mag sowas irgendwie, außer es entpumpt sich als gemeiner Plottwist ... wehe Square-Enix.

Edit: Ich hab mir grad noch mal ein paar Ansem Reports durchgelesen. Below is all of the Ansem Reports that you can collect in both Kingdom Hearts and Final Mix. They add depth to the Kingdom Hearts series and in the later reports mention some of the ideas which are developed in KH: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2.

Ansem Report 11 - Defeat Kurt Zisa in Agrabah

In opening the door that stores a world's hearts, the wall around that world is broken down. We see this as a shooting star. Through this, I have been able to understand the reason why the material known as Gummi Blocks has the ability to allow travel to other worlds.

The cause of a world's wall collapsing is the appearance of the Heartless, but finding a world's door takes time. And robbing a world of its heart is a similar case.

If the door has been closed by the key known as the Keyblade, you probably cannot reach that world's heart again. Before the one with the Keyblade appears in this world, I must take measures to do something.

Supposing that there is a close relationship between the Princesses and the Keyblade, it seems likely that they will resonate with each other...

I have chosen one special girl. I do not know if she possesses a power like that of the Princesses. But, there is a chance, and this is an experiment. She may lead me to the place where the one holding the key is...

I shall send her off to the ocean of other worlds.

Dieses spezielle Mädchen ist imho Kairi, da in einer Charakterbeschreibung steht, sie kam auf Destiny Island an, als es einen Sternenschauer gab und verlor ihr Gedächtnis. Zudem war sie auch ein wichtiger Faktor mit den Prinzessinen.

[Gogeta-X]

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetzer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111 >_________<

Nur mag ich den KH look bei ihm absolut nicht... :-/ Hätte imho mehr in Richtung Barbarossa aus Fluch der Karibik gehen müssen imho. Viel zu kurze Haare... ^^

Aber ist schön zu sehen wie die schier unmögliche Anzahl an Charas wächst und Wächst. ^^ Die dt. Synchronisation wird wohl aufwendiger denn je werden. ^^

[Virginie]

Jemand abergläubisch?
Nein?
Gut, dann stört es wohl auch niemanden, dass es nur noch
13 (lumpige) Tage sind

Oh man, so bekommt die FF-Welt tatsächlich ein völig neues Gewicht! (Setzer! *jubilier*)
Und Aeris durfte sich offensichtlich auch umziehen

[Master]

Die Welle der Neuigkeiten ebbt nicht ab, zu dem ist endlich der Trailer aufgetaucht!

Kingdom Hearts 2 - New Details from mystery mag! [08 Dec 2005] [Cow]

Hey everyone,

THERE IS NO INTERVIEW. 2/2/06 is a BS date.

Also:

- They spoke about the tutorial
- You do start with BHK and he can Drive, and in the tutorial as well
- The Tutorial is like KH1 yet different.
- The battles are described as very fast paced.

Thanks to KH-2.net for the info about the release!

PS: For those of you that don't know I have a zip file that is supposed to be the new trailer, unfortunately it is encrypted and I do not know the password. I'll keep you posted if anything comes up!

Ziemlich viel und ich glaub das war heute noch nicht alles...O.o

[Rabs]

JUHUU! Endlich der neue Trailer ... zwar nur ein Teil davon aber NEUER TRAILER!!

Also ich finde Kairi hat sich vom Optischen ganz schön zu ihrem besseren verändert ... und dass Ansem wieder auftaucht ... und dass Sora, als er noch jung war, auch schon in Twilightown gewesen ist (vermute ich einfach mal, weil Sora in der Szene, wo er aus dem Fenster des Zuges hinauslugt, extrem jung aussieht, oder zumindest jünger als in KH) ... uiuiui, ich hoffe der 22. kommt schnell^^.

[Riku]

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...topic=25038323

Schaut euch den Link an. OMFG! 150+ Stunden voraussichtliche Spielzeit Allein 3 Stunden die Awakening Szene! 3 STUNDEN lang BHK YIPPIE. Und jede Welt soll ca. 8 Stunden dauern. *faint collapse* Du verfluchter 22. Dezember mach das du endlich da bist, auch wenn ich meine Version voraussichtlich erst Januar bekomme (non-Express-Versand), will ich die ersten Eindrücke und massive Spoiler der Cracks lesen. JA ich lese gern Spoiler, damit ich weiß auf was ich mich besonders freuen kann.

[Sabina]

Ich warte auch schon gespannt (auch nur Standardversand, immerhin brauchte ich dringend die neue Thundercats-DVD). Freund von Spoiler bin ich leider auch nicht (also bitte die Spoilerkästen nicht vergessen )

Ansonsten sehen die ganzen Screens und Movies einfach nur zum Anbeißen aus.

Noch 12 Tage und dennoch ist die News Welle nicht vorbei.

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Even More Ultimania News [09 Dec 2005] [Cow]

Hey everyone,

Thanks goes to Andrel for translating


-Kairi speaking (Destiny Islands): Even if we're far apart, I know we'll meet again.
-BHK: It's probably fate
-(Right after the line above in the trailer) Order Member to BHK: Do you sense Sora?
-Apparently Demyx is no good at fighting
-Luxord has a gambler persona
-In order to activate the move where Sora bounces off the wall after an attack, you need the Ability 'Air Recovery'
-There are places where Sora is in Twilight Town, but the key is that Sora and BHK are never in the same places
-While using BHK, the command menu simply has 'Attack', the rest are '?', and he has no Drive Gauge
-The rules of the struggle battle are: one-on-one, pick up all the balls your opponent drops.
-BHK: I'm just thinking about what's gonna happen to me now.
-Sora and co. in front of the abandoned house with BHK's' friends. One of the friends says: They say that some really awful characters come in and out of this house.
-Sora: So you guys are all Kairi's friends too. (to BHK'S friends)
-Part-time job event with BHK: Mail Delivery and Poster Placing (you get more munny from both the faster you do the job.)
-5 letters, 20 posters (some places you can put up to three at a time, while mailing letters, you're on the skateboard)
-Quote by Nomura: I tried to create a game where both veterans and and new players would start off at around the same level. That's what I had intended, but it didn't go at all as planned.
-Nomura: The town is quite large. Just being large would be no fun, so I started adding Minigames and such.
-The reason I put on Setzer is because I wanted to see him rendered in 3-D. FFVII's Rufus was such a candidate too
-Orette's Character bio: Looks after Heine and the others.


RUMOR
Namine' supposedly begins to wipe out people's memories of Sora and move them to BHK. So BHK is living within false memories Namine' made (that witch!)

Kingdom Hearts 2 - More Ultimania News [09 Dec 2005] [Cow]

Hey everyone,

Here is some more news from the Ultimania Alpha:

-BHK has a dream about Sora which he thinks about it carefully
-Selphie is slowly starting to forget Sora
-BHK has a dream about Sora which he observes
-The Twilight Town map was released in the Ultimania Alpha
-Rumor: Apparently Sora's Keyblade is from the world of Light and Mickey's is from the World of Darkness.
-There's a scene where Sora and Heine "act" together
-There are 2 kinds of command menus for every world
-Seifer and BHK's relationship isn't very good
-You start as BHK immediately after CoM
-Immediately after the opening with the BHK, you start with Sora, while in his KH1 clothes, he takes the train out of Twilight Town and into Yensid's place. There he changes his clothes.
-Sora's Memory of Twilight Town was not his own
-Sora doesn't visit Twilight Town much
-Rumor: BHK's name may be Nechi which in Latin means "Without being someone"

---SPOILER WARNING---
The spoiling is mild, but if you don't want any spoiling don't read on.








- The Orginzation Hideout in Twilight Town(the rundown house) is not what it seems... It is hiding a High Tech facility that is a lot like Castle Oblivion. Kairi's prison anyone? The high tech room with DiZ talking to EM... Where Sora and Kairi reunite...Yeah that place. This is also where Namine' and BHK have that conversation across of the table.(Not CO) Also this maybe the place where Donald and Goofy were trapped in the TGS 2003 Trailer.(makes sense since Donald's magic couldn't get him out. )

-BHK goes to the the house and unlocks it. He walks inside and finds a picture of him with Oret, Pintz, and Heine inside.

BHK: I must go on from here, no matter what happens to me.

Thanks to kratossaurion for helping out with the translating.

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Kingdom Hearts Pro Skater? [09 Dec 2005] [Cow]

Hey everyone,

Well I've uncovered some info about the Skateboarding mini-game:

- BHK has a part-time job where he rides around town on his skateboard(prolly running errands and such so you can earn some munny)
- In the begining of the game you have 5 letters to mail and 20 posters to put up around town.(meaning posters advertising The Struggle)
- Twilight Town is big and riding the skateboard feels natural.

-Rumor: BHK's name may be Nechi which in Latin means "Without being someone"

...

"Nechi" ist kein lateinisches Wort.
"Nemo" wäre "Niemand" (oder auch "Nobody" im Englischen)

[Loxagon]

Ich frage mich nur was Malefiz (Maleficent in US) bei KH2 verloren hat...
Hat Sora die Schreckschraube nicht in Teil 1 gekillt?

Dschafar ist doch der einzigste DisneyFeind der noch leben dürfte. (In einer "gemütlichen" 1 cm² Wohnung zusammen mit einem schrägen Vogel )
aber die anderen sind doch hin... Ich freu mich zwar dass Malefiz zurückkommt (ich mag sie irgendwie) aber müssen gleich ALLE wiederkommen ?

Naja uund 150+ Spielstunden... LOL!
Ich gsage nur Grandia 1: Man soll 80+ Stunden brauchen ...

Man hats nach ca. 40 Stunden durch!

[Rabs]

Hier, für alle die wissen wollen wie Kingdom Hearts 2 anfängt und ca. die ersten 3 Stunden lang verkäuft:

- The game begins immediately after Chain of Memories ends, with an opening FMV. The FMV is a dream about Sora, which BHK is having. (He also apprantly states "I've been having these weird thoughts lately, like is any of this real, or not?", just like Sora.)

- BHK's Dive to Heart (awakening) chapter begins, and the stained glass platforms include one with Sora and the other main characters from KH1. Here you will learn the basic gameplay features, just like in the KH original. We've all seen the shots from the trailers, and know that he fights a giant Nobody (called Flailer?) instead of Darkside.

- After Dive to Heart, BHK's Twilight Town chapter begins. This is basically like Sora's Destiny Islands chapter. Twilight Town is a very large place, and as such, is filled with minigames.

- Some of the minigames, like Mail Delivery, and Poster Placing, involves BHK's part time job, with you riding a skateboard to deliver mail and post fliers throughout the town. These award you with munny, and you get more if you do it quicker. This part of the game will also have the Struggle minigame. It seems that he may also meet Axel.

- Eventually, BHK makes his way into the Order HQ - the run down chapel that was seen in the trailers, as well as CoM. He unlocks the door and inside, finds a photo of he and his friends. The HQ hides a high-tech facility with an interior similair to Castle Oblivion.

- Here, it seems that many of that many of the CO-like scene seen in trailers and screens actually take place (conversations with Naminé, DiZ). Possibly even the scene where Axel blocks BHK's path. This is also likely where Sora and the rest are actually in pods, as in CoM Reverse Rebirth, you were in the Twilight Town floor when you talked to them as Riku.

- A lot of stuff probably goes, down. At some point, BHK says, "I must go on from here, no matter what happens to me." I'm thinking at the end of the chapter.

- Right after completing the BHK Twilight Town chapter, we go into Sora's part of the game, with him awakening from the pod. He is still in his KH1 clothes, which no longer fit him very well.

- Sora doesn't spend much time in Twilight Town, and there is an emphasis on the fact that Sora and BHK aren't ever in the same place at the same time. Though, Sora does meet BHK's friends, who seem to know Kairi (?). Kairi's grandmother may also live here (???). It seems that they show him around and mention shady characters going in and out of the abandoned cathedral.

- Sora leaves on the train to go to Yensid's place, where he will gets new clothes and learns the new dynamics of the combat system, such as Drive (Yensid apparantly taught Mickey how to weild the Keyblade). It seems that the guide ends when he leaves on the train and the title screen appears.

- All of the above takes about three hours to complete.
