|
| In September 2006, ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' was finally announced, along with a PlayStation 2 remake of ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', entitled ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', with full 3-D rendering and voice acting. The two would be packed together, creating ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+''; ''Re:Chain of Memories'' was later released in America as a standalone title.
| |
|
| |
| The remake was released on March 29, 2007, hitting stores all across Japan. Currently no official plans have been announced for release in the United States or other countries, despite the topic being popular across ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''-related forums. There were rumors of a fall 2008 release in EGM magazine and 1up.com, although this did not pan out. The director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura, has quoted, ''"The Final Mix games are only Japanese exclusives. In due time I may release a Final Mix into other countries, but Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix are not my choice."''

|
| |
| ==''Final Mix''==
| |
| ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' expands on the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' with new features and plot elements.
| |
|
| |
| ===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.
| |
|
| |
| ===New features===
| |
| ====Bonuses====
| |
| *Secret features can be accessed in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' by clearing ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'' first or clearing ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' first will also unlock secrets in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''.
| |
| *New features have been added, such as the ability to battle Data-versions of the [[Organization XIII]] called [[Organization XIII Replica Data]]
| |
| *New cutscenes have been added to the game. While playing the game they will be silent with Japanese-text on the bottom.
| |
| *A Theater Mode has been added to the game, which allows you to view all of the cutscenes (including Final Mix+ exclusives) in English and Japanese.
| |
| *A special boss battle which was called the Enigmatic Figure [[Lingering Will]] can be battled after completing the game and going through the mysterious portal in [[Disney Castle]].
| |
| *Special outfits have been added, including Sora's original outfit from [[Kingdom Hearts (game)]].
| |
| *A new drive form known as [[Limit Form]] has been added to the game.
| |
| *Critical Mode has been added to the game as an extra difficulty. Sora will start with [[Once More]] and a few other items and abilities.
| |
| *The censorship from the International versions of the game has been added, to keep up with Disney's "all-audiences" effect on media.

| |
|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *All of the new cutscenes are silenced and only the Japanese subtitles can allow one make out what the conversation is about. However, this is only for the initial playthrough and English audio track. All scenes have full voicing for the Japanese audio track.
| |
| *''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' were the final games Tetsuya Nomura made for the PlayStation 2.
