Kingdom Hearts 2

i fear i might not get to see the ending because i am fighting Ansem on the home island from the beginning and i'm fighting him for the second time there in that purplish glowing crater in the middle of the island and i've got him down to the pink/red bar and it shows a little of the orange bar from where i've depleted some of the pink/red bar. But it's stuck. It's like the bar won't go down any further. I've been battle for at least 15 mins-30mins. and it won't budge. Everytime i hit him, it'll do a little jump back but jump back to where it was. So is it just not possible for me to beat him. is this a glitch or something which I just won't be able to complete the game. The same thing happened with that giant robot in agrabah that you can go back and fight if you want. I just gave up on him since his bar wouldn't move anymore either. And Ansem's bar and his bar are stuck in the same exact place with the same exact colors. What is this?

And that's just for the many cinematic cut-scenes that are woven into Sora, Donald and Goofy's new adventure.

Yes. Cinematic cut scenes, which the first one so greatly lacked.

is it comprehensible.....

Square-Enix has just officially announced the release date for Kingdom Hearts to be March 28th, 2006.

The following is an excerpt from the official press release delivered by Square-Enix:

Square Enix, Inc. (Square Enix), the publisher of Square Enix interactive entertainment products in North America, and Buena Vista Games, Inc. (BVG), the interactive entertainment arm of The Walt Disney Company announced today the all-star voice cast and North American release date for KINGDOM HEARTS II, the highly-anticipated action role-playing game (RPG) exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. KINGDOM HEARTS II is the sequel to KINGDOM HEARTS, one of the top 10 best-selling PlayStation 2 titles of all time in North America.

....

KINGDOM HEARTS II will ship to North American retailers on March 28, 2006. Since its release in September 2002, the original KINGDOM HEARTS for the PlayStation 2 has shipped more than 2.6 million units in North America. Bridging the gap between the original and the sequel, KINGDOM HEARTS: CHAIN OF MEMORIES followed in December 2004 for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance system. With the release of the Japanese version of KINGDOM HEARTS II in December 2005 (1 million units shipped during only three days after the release date), the series has shipped in excess of 7.5 million units worldwide.

WHAT!?!!?

I'm glad Yuna, Riku, and Paine will be in this one.

Yes, the enlarge picture of the cover is big. Bigger than the actual game.

Looks like they got a new voice for Aerith. And did Robin Williams do the voice for Genie in the first game?

is it comprehensible.....

At least the FFX characters have the same voice actors as they did from the FF games.

Christopher Lee..............................................DiZ

Is that Christopher Lee as in Count Dooku/Saruman?

Sweeeet 😂

Yep! The Christopher Lee is voicing in the game 😄

I don't recall if Williams did the genie in KH1... but I'm surprised they replaced Aerith's voice (and not surprised at the same time).. it'll be interesting to see if they stick with Lance Bass for Sephiroth, or if a completely different voice actor will be him for KH2, and possibly Advent Children. Then again... this new girl Mena Suvari... might she be Aerith's Advent Children voice? 😱 😛

I'm going to be playing the game and picturing Dooku 😆 😱

I don't know if i'm getting this game, b/c i am unable to finish number 1 b/c of a bug.

is it comprehensible.....

can anyone give the full cast list of the the first KH

..and this one SOUNDS awesome... christopher lee 😄

Voice actor interviews for Kingdom Hearts II, about a minute in length each, including in-game footage from the English version 😄

Well I can't wait to play it. There is going to be a Kingdom harts 3 as well, but I do not know much about it. I just know that is what they lead yo to think at the end of KH2.

Yup, a KH3 teaser was rumored just like a KH2 teaser was attached to KH1.

I've gone and made a video capture with my new video card of the Roxas vs. Axel battle where you wield dual keyblades. Is anyone interested in an upload of that? I'll upload if there's interest. 🙂

Upload 😛

Dual keyblades....hehe....reminds me of Star Wars 😂

Alrighty! Uploaded to YouSendIt in two different versions, DivX and WMV. The DivX version looks a bit better to me, but for compatability, I uploaded both. The original MPG was about 200 megs, so forgive the compression.

WMV: http://s58.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0MCS56KN6LSOH2XJZEBAOQSBZ6

I've also uploaded a YouTube link as well, for anyone who wants to see it streaming, for any reason.

It is like it. The reason I know is b/c I saw it when I did not mean to. I was looking for the preview clip for the second game and got the one for the 3rd game.

Seifer is in the game right? Yay! Hopefully they do him justice....
