==''Final Mix''==
==Features==
''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' expands on the original ''Kingdom Hearts II'' with new features and plot elements.
===Bonuses===
 
===Initial previews and announcements===
Scans of magazine articles and preview videos appeared on numerous websites in the weeks leading up to the game's release. They included additional scenes involving the three mysterious armored knights at the end of the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' secret ending. Later screenshots showed one of these three knights in combat with [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]]. [[Lingering Will|The being]] serves as a secret boss with incredible power and an enormous amount of HP, much like [[Xemnas|the Enigmatic Man]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. The preview videos also showed that battling [[Roxas]] would be possible as opposed to the cutscene in the original game. Square also revealed that data replicas of each member of [[Organization XIII]] could be challenged in a secret area at [[Hollow Bastion]] and fought independently of the storyline.
 
Voice-acting on ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' was announced to be mostly in English, with Japanese subtitles, like ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', but the new scenes used Japanese voice-acting when viewed in Theater Mode and were voiceless in-game with Japanese subtitles. This is most likely due to the new scenes featuring Organization XIII members from ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', who did not yet have English voice actors.
