| :* Dialogue in Port Royal was also edited: when Barbossa tells Elizabeth of their curse, he mentions lust and women, which is removed in the English version and replaced by "pleasurable company," this is, however, the line used in the movie. | | :* Dialogue in Port Royal was also edited: when Barbossa tells Elizabeth of their curse, he mentions lust and women, which is removed in the English version and replaced by "pleasurable company," this is, however, the line used in the movie. |

| ==Characters==
| | FAIL |
| ===Key Characters===
| |
| Most of the key characters from ''Kingdom Hearts'' return, particularly heroes Sora, Riku, and Kairi, as well as constant party members Donald and Goofy. [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] also returns, having a much larger role in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' than his cameo at the end of the first game. Old foes also return, most notably Maleficent.
| |
| | |
| A number of characters first featured in ''Chain of Memories'' also make comebacks in ''Kingdom Hearts II''; most prominently involved are Naminé and DiZ. [[Axel]] of Organization XIII also makes a return appearance, the only member to appear in both games; the Organization members featured in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' are all new to the series. Also new to the series is the mysterious Roxas, and Maleficent's new lackey, [[Pete]].
| |
| | |
| ===Disney Characters===
| |
| In addition to the Disney characters that return from ''Kingdom Hearts'', there are also characters from several Disney features making their ''Kingdom Hearts'' debut, most notably characters from the previously unexplored worlds of ''Mulan'', ''Pirates of the Caribbean'', and ''Tron'', as well as a world dedicated to Disney's older black-and-white works, [[Timeless River]]. New but familiar characters have also been added to all of the returning worlds.
| |
| | |
| Other characters make prominent appearances in the original Kingdom Hearts worlds of Twilight Town and Hollow Bastion. Yen Sid the sorcerer, Mickey's master in the movie ''Fantasia'', makes an appearance, inhabiting a mysterious tower. [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]] from ''Sleeping Beauty'' give Sora his new outfit. [[Scrooge McDuck]] also has taken residence in Hollow Bastion trying to recreate a "salty flavored ice cream". Merlin returns to Hollow Bastion, now allied with several familiar faces from [[Traverse Town]] in the original game.
| |
| | |
| ===Final Fantasy characters===
| |
| Seventeen characters from six of the ''Final Fantasy'' games make appearances in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Along with returning characters from ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]'', ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VIII|Final Fantasy VIII]]'', and ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]'', characters from ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]'', ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy IX|Final Fantasy IX]]'', and ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X-2|Final Fantasy X-2]]'' debut for the first time.
| |
| | |
| It had been stated by game designer [[wikipedia:Tetsuya Nomura|Tetsuya Nomura]] that, although the first game strictly stuck to characters Nomura designed, this time around they were going to "take some risks", allowing characters from ''Final Fantasy'' games without involvement from Nomura to make appearances. The involvement of characters from ''VI'' and ''IX'' are the result.
| |
| | |
| The omnipresent [[Moogle]]s, featured in many different Final Fantasy titles, return in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' as both the keepers of Item Synthesis, and also as shopkeepers at various places in worlds. However, because of the dangers of the world, they only appear as holograms, with the exception of the Moogles in Hollow Bastion and Twilight Town. Other constant ''Final Fantasy'' reference include [[finalfantasy:Biggs and Wedge|Biggs and Wedge]], who make appearances as shopkeepers, references to the ''Final Fantasy'' job classes in the names of the Nobodies, and the names of various Gummi Ship blueprints.
| |
| | |
| ===Nobodies===
| |
| Nobodies are the main enemies here, appearing alongside [[Heartless]]. They are creatures without hearts, born from the body and soul of a living being who has lost its heart. [[Organization XIII]] are Nobodies who have retained their human forms, albeit a bit changed from their original appearance. Another difference between the Nobodies and Heartless are that the Nobodies attack more tactically, and often together, unlike the instinctive nature of the Heartless. Many of the different kinds of Nobodies are named after [[finalfantasy:Job system|job classes]] from the ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]] series.''
| |
| | |
| ===Summons===
| |
| Like the previous game, Sora can summon a Disney character to aid him in battle when attaining each of their respective items. As summons use the Drive Gauge instead of the MP bar, Sora cannot Drive and summon at the same time. The character will replace the two computer-controlled characters and fight alongside Sora for as long as the Drive Gauge allows. Instead of the summoned character being limited to only one action, the summoned character now has a menu of his own to perform multiple actions, some solo actions and some cooperative actions with Sora. There are four summons total in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', [[Chicken Little]], [[Genie]], [[Stitch]], and [[Peter Pan]] with additional help from [[Tinker Bell]].
| |
| | |
| ===World Party Members and Assistance===
| |
| World-specific party members appear in almost every world in the game; there are nine in total, offering a huge leap from the original game's six. Notable among them are [[Auron]], the first ''Final Fantasy'' character to be a party member, and Sora's best friend Riku. Also notable are assistance characters, who are not part of the party, but can fight alongside of it; they usually appear during key battles and plot moments.
