...Sora looks capable of being huggled. o.o
The question is, how will Sora handle his keyblade when he has no opposable thumb?
~Neo
they pushed it back again?!
i'm all for a great game, and i know they have to take time so it isn't crappy, but really isn't it about time they released it?

Mouth.
Yea, I figured he's used his mouth a while back when I saw scans of it (although they were kinda hard to see, but I managed to barely make it out).

The keyblade will probably be embedded with his paws.
Claw action! 😀
First Twilight Princess is pushed back, now THIS? I'm gonna be sick x__x;; I cant freaking wait anymore
WHAT are you guys talking about? It can't be pushed back it no date was ever set! If Square-Enix is guilty of anything, it's releasing info about this game TOO EARLY. Hence the now legendary wait since the official unveiling at TGS 2003.
The first OFFICIAL release date ever given for Kingdom Hearts II was and still is the current release date: December 22, 2005. In Japan. The only official date we have for North America is TBA 2006, as was uncovered recently. Currently, most store databases are showing a release sometime in March, but realize that these dates, as of now, are NOT OFFICIAL. They're estimates, at best.
^__^@ Pirates of the Carribean world
That looks so cool.
Nuff said.
Holy Crap, that's awesome. Pete Lion, complete with with the big chin! He looks like Scar's fatter, older cousin or something.
~Neo
...
When I close my eyes, I CAN STILL SEE HIM.
This game just keeps on pouring out new things that make people sit up....
Dual keyblades...
That other Sora guy...
The unknowns...
Pirates of the Carribean World is realistic...
More and more FF characters...
Sora as a lion...
and now PETE as well?
...
I just hope that theres more stuff we DONT already know about when it finally arrives. It'd be a shame if this brilliant and innovtive game arrives and it's already old news...
<3 @ Pegleg Pete.
Looks like he'll be a reoccuring villain throughout the game if he has a Lion King form and a "Disney World" form.
His absence really hurt the original game, here's hoping we get lots of Pete killing action!
New KHII Trailer AVI format (DiVX) 18.6MB 2:30 <- VERY nice quality
This one's been making the rounds in video game stores in Japan. Someone's already in the process of translating the dialogue.
EDIT:
Namine: You're... you're not meant to exist, really.
DiZ: So you came... the Keyblade's Chosen One.
BHK: Who are you saying that to? Me? Sora?
DiZ: What I need is a person who flies within the world of light and destroys the XIII Order.
Minnie: Welcome back!
Donald: This is Sora. He's our friend!
Sora: Mushu! It's been a while!
Sora: I'm called Sora!
Genie: I just loooove making people's eyes pop out in amazement!
Jack: Hey Barbossa! Give me my Black Pearl back!
Oogie Boogie: I appreciate this.
(mulan badguy): It's over!
Squall: Can we do it? Against that?
Cloud: It might be difficult if there was just one more of them.
Sora: The XIII Order!
??? (Beast?): What is he?
Sora: The Thriteenth Order... There's a thing called Nobodies that is created when a person with a strong heart becomes a Heartless. Those who control the Nobody are the XIII Order.
Xaldin: Once we obtain Kingdom Hearts we will become complete beings!
Unknown: The Keyblade... A truly wonderful power. The problem is the wielder...
Bah, I cant stand Engrish translations....
Still, it shows very little...
And the big question is still aunanswered, and personall I hope it remains unanswered right UP TO the release so we can all have a nice surprise...
The big question, the largest thing plaguing this game right from the start. We havent seen a single picture of him since the Deep Dive Trailer, and we're not even 100% sure that was him, it just looked remarkably simmilar...
And what is the ultimate question?
SPOILERS, I guess, since I don't know how to do the fricking tag.
Actually, in the newest trailer there's someone in an Organization cloak with the hood up holding Riku's Soul Eater, and at the end of CoM, Riku inexplicably got an Org cloak. So, yeah. =P

Since the site claims to have gotten the list from SE themselves, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It's just nice to know we'll get to hear more of that devilishly evil voice from Billy.
I'd still be wary of that info. People also claim info from IMDB comes from official sources, but we know how that goes...
First off video stuff: Steamboat Willie episode + video = AWESOME!!!
Cloud is in his Advent Children gear o.o
Big Hair Kid is playable?! I didn't realise this. *has not been keeping up to date*
ANOTHER Keyblade?!
Riku being a Nobody? Kind of depressing after he decided to walk the path between good and evil, he's just a glorified Heartless now.
Pirates of Carribean looks pretty darn cool against all expectation 
The "Helms Deep" attack is an actual event, when I saw cutscenes I thought it was a cinematic event, how the hell are you supposed to defeat a horde THAT big?!
Gummi Ship stuff looks improved, but it's still there 
I hate the Gummi Ship
Was Mushu's fire cell-shaded? o.o
AURON!!!
MICKEY IS A NOBODY?! I know he was with Riku at the... ah screw it, I'll buy Chain of Memories.
Either way, it looks good and I hate it for looking good. I've started to see KH1 for the awful storied pile of fan-service it is (not that I disagree with such tactics, with Advent Children it's proved that Square are gifted in milking us for money with prettiness), I don't want to have to enjoy KH2 
Secondly. The cast:
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST CAST ^______^! As my favourite Disney movie, I encourage Cogsworth being in it *DANCE*
The Pirates cast is back?! Thank you Square, I love you! But it's TOO good to believe, if they can get Depp, Bloom and Knightly in, how comes they don't have the proper celebrity voices for the Disney characters and instead got their syndicated series counterparts. Danny DeVito for Phil!
Wait... Ansem?
What the hell is with Kingdom Hearts and characters not dying? I killed them, Mr. Anderson, I watched them die (with a certain sense of satisfaction, I might add). How comes they're all back?
-
In closing: This game will make me a happy fanboy. Perhaps saving me from needing Zelda.
Quote:

Heh. BHK is Blonde Haired Kid, mind you. Even if he's only pseudo-blonde.
Quote:

Nah, he just has one of the Organization's cloaks. How he got one is anyone's guess. Likely has something to do with the Twilight rather than the Nobody. I wouldn't put it past Riku to pretend he's an Organization member to mess with Sora's head, though.
Quote:

Likely a timed battle.
Quote:

Yeah, my first thought was "They Wind Waker'd the smoke!"
Quote:
MICKEY IS A NOBODY?! I know he was with Riku at the... ah screw it, I'll buy Chain of Memories.
Good idea. =P
Quote:
Wait... Ansem?
Or maybe not really Ansem. Play CoM and the muddle that is Ansem's fate becomes a bit clearer.
*Nodnod* That's my Christmas present to myself then, a Nintendo DS, Sonic Rush and Chain of Memories 
Warning, i can never get spoiler tags to work anyway but here goes:
<Spoiler>Ansem's survival is akin to Liquid Snake's survival, where he lived on in an arm... Only Squaresoft at least didnt give us the rubbish about an arm, no, in Kingdom Hearts it's DARKNESS that rocks their boat so Ansem lives on in Rikku's DARKNESS...</spoiler>
| Spoilers (Select To Read) That makes more sense than the arm, though. Ansem POSSESSED Riku. Damn. Now I need to play Kingdom Hearts again to work out when Ansem left his body and how Riku ended up in Kingdom Hearts. But, it does make more sense, even if it is a stupid plot device. |
so when is the new release date?
December 22nd for Japan, TBA for America.
There is no other release date. Those other gaming sites, even GameFAQs, are wrong and get their info from the same source as EBgames and Gamestop, apparently.

">Direct linking doesn't work 🙁
Upload the file somewhere, if Tron world IS in KH2, I have even more reason than before to swoon and think it'll be the greatest game ever constructed in the history of anything ever.
Direct linking. Does not work. IE. Cannot link to the file, nor can you show it. You'll need to save it and upload to your own filespace to share, or give us a link to the html page where the picture is acquired.
Craig are you sure you computer is working right? I can see the picture and the link work for me. The site I found it is call rpgamer.com
edit-
Here Craig another site has a pic
www.gamesarefun.com/games...h2scan.jpg
*In total awe* They even managed to get the dated 80's retro look to the graphics!

Rpgamer has a firewall that prevents direct-linking. You can see it fine anywhere off the site because of your comp's cache. Anyone else wouldn't be able to view it unless they've been to that page before.
omg TRON
Tron. Need to see that film.
But the game is looking better. By the day.
Tron, it's a Disney film I haven't seen, so I better find that movie sometime and watch it so I'll basically know the gist of the whole story.
Interesting that both Yuffie and Cloud have their Advent Children outfit, but Cid is still stuck in his normal KH wear. Cid gets no wuv.
~Neo
Tron is basically the story of a computer game programmer who is zapped into a game he wrote and he has to go through the code to get back, fighting the evil red side while playing discus, motorbikes and so forth.
It's alot cooler than it sounds. One of my favourite childhood movies, if only for the retro neon style.
Thanks for the summary, Craig. I still wanna see it, people keep saying it's a good film, so that's the main reason, plus I really would love to see it more to better understand the Tron world in KH2. I guess I'm like that, I suppose.
~Neo
Let's see if this one works.
After seeing that outfit since yesterday, I have the powerful urge to draw Tron Sora, the outfit design is just plain awesome. *bows to Tetsuya Nomura, forever my idol*
~Neo
Funny story: you know how back in the days of VHS, they'd sometimes show trailers AFTER the credits? Well, I remember watching this one advertising Mary Poppins... except it had what I PRESUME was Tron mixed in, making me think that at some point in Mary Poppins they go all techno-y and futuristic and so on. Obviously, no such thing happened, but MAN that used to turn me off of Poppins.
Admit it, though, it'd be kinda funny if that DID happen.

Which....is why they're called "trailers". Duh?
Let's be honest, though, nobody shows trailers AFTER the credits nowadays...
Personally, I think Tron Sora looks like MegaMan.EXE. o_o
Maybe... needs more Protoman, though.
So, what? Riku shows up in a red suit and Sora has all this angst about Riku playing for the opposing team?
...Not to mention Riku mysteriously getting a laser sword and sunvisor.
Come on, now...don't sully the name of Tron by mentioning the abominable MegaMan Battle Network.
