''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' features improved graphics and a completely re-orchestrated soundtrack. All cutscenes, including those that were created for the original Japanese version of the game, are voiced in English. The [[Absent Silhouette]]s and their respective [[Organization XIII's Replica Data|Replica Data]] now use English grunts, laughs, and battle cries, while Roxas's have received more drastic changes to incorporate those of his ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' incarnation, and even some of Ventus's from ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. In [[Jiminy's Journal]], the "Combo Attacks" section is renamed to "Limits". While the English localization of the game retained most of the censorship from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', an attack animation remained uncensored. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' version, Xigbar twirled his arrowguns around, and shot at Sora with a single gun, while he held the other at his side.  In the ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'' version, Xigbar combines his two hand-held guns to create a sniper rifle, which is used to shoot the player's party during the telescoping sight sequence.
''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' features improved graphics and a completely re-orchestrated soundtrack. All cutscenes exclusive to the original Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' are now dubbed in English. In the English version, the [[Absent Silhouette]]s and their respective [[Organization XIII's Replica Data|Replica Data]]'s grunts and laughs are now provided by their English voice actors from ''Kingdom hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', while Roxas's battle grunts incorporate those of his ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' incarnation and some of Ventus's voice clips from ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. In [[Jiminy's Journal]], the "Combo Attacks" section is renamed to "Limits". While the English localization of the game retained most of the censorship from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Xigbar's ability to merge his Arrowguns into a sniper rifle to snipe at Sora and company (which was replaced in the international versions of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' by Xigbar sniping at the party with one gun while using the other to steady his aim) was uncensored.

''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'' features improved graphics, and its controls have been adjusted for the game's transition from the PlayStation Portable to the PlayStation 3. For instance, the camera can now be controlled using the right analog stick, rather than {{button|shoulderl}} and {{button|shoulderr}}. The various environments the player visits over the course of the game are more detailed in appearance, and new sound effects have been added to these areas, as well.

In the final cutscene in Terra's scenario, the [[Lingering Will]] sprouts a cape to maintain continuity between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'' and its later appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''. The Mirage Arena no longer has multiplayer capabilities, meaning that Mirage Arena D-Links cannot be used. The events and battles in the Arena have been tweaked, and additional challenges are present. Due to the lack of multiplayer, the [[Taunt]] command has been replaced with [[Victory Pose]] in all appearances, and [[Group Esuna]] has been completely removed. While the entire soundtrack of ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' has been re-orchestrated, only the pieces "Keyblade Graveyard Horizon," "Dismiss," and "It's a Small World" have been re-orchestrated in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix''.

The stars emitted from the [[Master's Defender]] change from lavender blue stars resembling shuriken to golden ones bearing [[Terra's Mark]]. The cutscenes in the [[Secret Episode]] have also been dubbed in English, while they featured Japanese voice acting in the original release.
