Some new scans came up featuring a special interview with Nomura. None of the images are new, but the information is.

[​IMG] [​IMG]

• The Organization XIII battles exist because there was a lot of demand from the fans.
• Quote: "KHII:FM - There is a member who didn't appear before that seems to be weak upon first impressions, and will die easily because his appearance was in the first stage."
• Because it's impossible to make all the Organization members appear to fight in a part not related to the story, the strongest version of the Org. member will be in their re-battle.
• Quote: "Please, feel the true strength while playing."
• Interviewer: What's been said isn't fully clear...
• The re-battles against Organization XIII is for the people who wanted to play on a different battlefield. So, when they try to fight against all the Org. members, it's not easy to win in power. The feelings of the equipment and the abilities have changed, other parties' action patterns are remembered, and the player is more capable of having more trial and errors if he/she has trouble winning.
• Zexion is one of the members that can easily be knocked down.
• The recovery item disappears even if Sora's HP bar is decreased below half. Although, Zexion's attack pattern can be easily remembered thanks to Nomura's direct guidance. See, it is necessary to correspond to every case because the attack pattern changes and the HP bar is decreasing, etc.
• Quote: "When fighting against the Org. XIII in Standard and Proud modes, you get the feeling that they are weak modes. I want you, by all means, to fight in Critical mode because it is the only mode that strengthens the experience further."
• The Organization XIII Mushroom Heartless were to originally appear in KHII. Nomura feels that the capture method of beating the Mushrooms resembles the capture method of the Org. XIII corresponding to the number that each member has. They have no relation with the actual Org. XIII, though.
• The new Secret Movie becomes a continuation of the Secret Movie from the original KHII. However, the conditions to see it are hard to accomplish.
• Quote: "I want you to challenge that condition by all means, because the impact upon seeing it is very important."
• Because Re:CoM became a game in three-dimensional space, the action became more intense. My feelings are that I tried to make them almost complete.
• The action is high. In addition, there is an element of editing your deck too, etc. There are feelings to which, the length of the game has extended. When a continuous technique continues too much, it becomes easy in the difficulty because the technique that originally wasn't in CoM was added, although, there are reaction commands too. The timing was changed and it is now very balanced.
• There are a lot of parts where the re-arrangement of the deck, like the battle with a boss, is needed, and the game's strategy has risen considerably. I want you to not give up on it because the re-arrangement of the deck is interesting. The difficulty setting for the smart player is applied here.
• The number of cards and the stock techniques have increased as additional elements in Re:CoM. The turning words have been changed by the voices now existing in a 3-D environment. It is likely to become enlightening for the different things in the system or the scenario.
• Because they are three bookstands, so to speak, I think that it's possible to play for a very long time. Goodness occurs in every corner that's played. Because within the range where any player waits with happiness, I think he/she will be pleased. I want you to play [the game] by all means.
• There are five mini-games for 100 Acre Wood.
• Possibly in Riku's chapter, there is another method of calling the King out besides using the MM miracle.

Title: Organization XIII Tribute

Hope you enjoy them all, and keep submitting! Maybe your video will show up here next Sunday!
Well, I was really bored and decided to get back into fiddling with codes in Kingdom Hearts II. EvilMan_89, our neighborhood code master, pointed something out that I found very interesting. So, naturally I made a video. Check this out:



You get led to an area called "Villain's Vale". Some of you may recognize this as the area that Pete and Maleficent have their little chats.

So, I bet you're all wondering how to get to this area yourself. First off, a cheating device is required. I'm going to show you how to do it with Action Replay MAX.

1. The Easy Way
I've saved all of you guys the trouble of getting to this point by creating a save for ARMAX that you simply need to put on your MAX Memory stick, load onto your Memory Card, then enter Hollow Bastion. Simple.
Download the Save...

2. The Relatively Easy Way
First off, make sure you're at the point in the game where you just finished Twilight Town: Second Visit and you're about to enter Hollow Bastion: Third Visit. This glitch will only work at this point in the game.
Second, go into ARMAX and enter this code:

AKQR-U436-65D7P
W8K2-VB2F-3UH7F
YHBV-B4DW-ZR68G
WAT1-A37E-P02KX
HPZ1-EGJ5-U5FWT
BHZ6-76XW-0RUKX
9Y7H-9VDG-W3W5G

It's an All Worlds Unlocked code, but for some reason it lands you in Villain's Vale when you attempt to land in Hollow Bastion: Third Visit. Keep in mind to use this code on a save that you do not want, because once you use it it'll make it so you always land in that area, and you can't get out of it. This is purely for fun and exploration.
New information!
We got a good analysis of the scans up. Some of the info's old, some of it's new:

XIII Organization Battles
1. Demyx has 13 bars of health. You'll also have to defeat double the amount of water Nobodies.
2. Xigbar's HP is unknown for now, but the battle begins with a special attack.
3. Xemnas' battle seems to have a slightly different amount of reaction commands. His HP bar is unknown for now.
4. All we know about Axel is that he has 16 bars of health.

There is an image of Xehanort's Heartless grabbing Roxas by the throat, and a new scene featuring DiZ is added:
DiZ: Feelings do not exist in Nobodies.
DiZ: Did you say Sora would hate you?
Riku: I can do nothing, but believe in DiZ.

100 Acre Wood Mini-games
A few more mini-games have been revealed. Besides "Vegetable Panic", there are two others; "Balloon Glider" and a "Tigger Bounce" mini-game.

Balloon Glider:

Basically, you need to get to the top of the tree while avoiding wasps. You mainly need to use the X button during this, in order to descend and ascend. It's been adjusted so you won't smack into the tree branches with wasps so easily. Once you get to the top, a prize awaits you. You have about 3 balloons to try this with. It's noted that this is a remake of a mini-game in Chain of Memories.

Vegetable Panic:

Here are some extra tidbits for it.
1. You can start the match by talking to Rabbit.
2. You strike to the right with the Square button, and strike to the left with the Circle button.
3. You can fail this mini-game if you miss too much.
4. There are times when Pooh will be rolling as well.

Tigger Hop:

1. This mini-game can be failed if you mess up even once.
2. The mini-game is started by talking to (You guessed it!) Tigger.
3. You basically need to hop in the same order Tiger does.
4. You can use all four PS2 buttons (Circle, X, Triangle, Square) for this mini-game.
5. You basically have to jump 25 times.

Re:COM Stuff
Card Stock: There's a new Stock move called "Wild Crusher", which can be used with a Donald and Goofy card.

Magnet Spiral
: Sora brings all the enemies close to him, then blasts them away with a spiral. It's best to use this against two or more enemies.

Fire Burst
: Sora blasts out a fire that can damage any enemies nearby.
There is a Roulette wheel mini-game for cards.

Interview Notes
- Nomura was not able to add voices in every cutscene. However, he hopes the players will understand. Although normally there is a balloon note displayed, the dialog's only shown as subtitles.
- The novels and mangas are moreover a side-story of Kingdom Hearts II, which is going to be added into KH2FM+ (So. basically if you've read the Novels you will know most of the scenes that are going to happen in KH2FM+).
- Surroundings such as barrels and buildings are destroyable.
Nomura considers Xemnas, Xaldin and Roxas to be a few of the strongest in the Organization.
-Nomura notes that it will be hard to defeat Demyx in KH2FM+ when it was revealed that double the water Nobodies need to be defeated. But, he has given off a big hint by showing that Wisdom form was used during this match. He expects a lot of players to get a game over in this battle.
- Uses of Forms and equipment will and can provide great help to the player now.
- Nomura lets everyone know that it will be hard work to get to the area where all the Organization battles are.
- Nomura wishes everyone luck on Critical Mode.
- "Roulette Wheel" was added for sheer fun.
- The story of Riku has a big role in the game.
- Nomura mainly wants Organization XIII to be a good challenge after leveling up a bit and getting good equipment.
- The new difficulty is mainly for those that thought Sephiroth to be weak.

A new scan has appeared over the net. Close to the bottom there are new images of interest; DiZ talking to an Organization member (Who is possibly Riku/Xehanort, as these are probably the scenes that use to only be dialogue by Riku/Xehanort and DiZ), and a new area where you can re-fight all of the members of Organization XIII.
Note: The Demyx battle in this area gives you the same amount of time to defeat double the amount of water Nobodies he normally summons, making it a much more difficult fight. There is also a new interview.

[​IMG] [​IMG]

Here are some short highlights of the interview, which talks a little about a mysterious hidden enemy:

1. He/she is stronger then all the Organization members. If you do not defeat this secret enemy, then the secret ending will not be made available.
2. Even if you know the method to actually hurt this enemy, it causes very minimal damage.
3. Nomura mainly referred to this secret boss as the "Strongest Enemy".

He also said that there is a new Kingdom Hearts project coming soon.
