The Light in the Chaos managed to type up a great summary of everything in the scan, due to the text being too blurry for us to see.

1. The Organization XIII mushrooms indeed have abilities similar to that of the Organzation XIII members.

2. The former abilities of the other forms, can be used by the Limit Form, and each of Limit Form's special abilities comes with a reaction command that leads to a stronger attack. (Just like Kingdom Hearts I did, just with the triangle button this time)
-Strike Raid leads to Judgement
-Ragnarok leads to Giga Impact
-Dodgeroll leads to a counter offensive, this last one is by speculation. However these moves are more powerful then how they were in Kingdom Hearts 1.

3. The scene where the unknown Organization member is talking to the knight in the Jump Festa trailer is known as the "White Room". It's unknown though if we will actually be visiting this room or not.

4. There is a new area where a new Organization battle is added (Roxas?). The command window is changed with a Nobody mark instead.

5. Marluxia is alot stronger in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix than he is in Chain of Memories(and possibly Re:CoM).

6. Marluxia VS Sora

7. The reaction command for Marluxia is Ariel Strike --> Rob Scythe.

(More coming soon)

It should be noted that this is probably for Japan only, though we don't know if we'll have the same privilege, however for those in Japan that managed to reserve Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ will be given a hard cover book known as "Kingdom Hearts - Another Report" It talks about the outline of the visuals of the game, goes into more detailed information about the character, spells, and worlds. In ways the game could not teach us.

Also 3 Higher Quality images, from scans have appeared on the net, in decent size too.

A new Kingdom Hearts II FM+ Scan has appeared over the net.

Scan
Scan 2

Edit: Short Summary

Edit 2: We managed to find the second scan thanks to VideoGamerX!

The Limit Form is able to Dodge Roll, Ragnarök, and the Marluxia Reaction Command is called "Rob Size"

The images that we have seen, including a place called "White Place" are all newly added areas.


Also to add on, Nomura has been thinking about giving a Reservation privilege to those wanting Kingdom Hearts II FM+, as shown in the scan here Short interview

And finally, a Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ Fan book, is said to be in the making, for those unsure. Fan book does not mean it's made by a fan, but as other games releasing fan books, it's basically information on characters, and things in the game that were never revealed, or were just too obliviously hinted.

Note: Upon discussing this with tomo from KH-2.net we have been able to determine the real name of his reaction command being either "Rob Scythe" or "Lob Scythe" Lob meaning smacking the Scythe back and forward as Lob is used in Tennis matches. There will need to me more clerification as to what the reaction command does, since we only know it causes Sora to throw the scythe back at Marluxia.

Okay. First things first, here's some re-records of Kingdom Hearts that I threw together today:

1. Traverse Town: Second Visit ... [player=25FoILKTLr4]Stream[/player] | Download
2. Agrabah ... [player=EhAfmIFDZ_Y]Stream[/player] | Download
3. Monstro ... [player=q6lRltZs-KY]Stream[/player] | Download
4. Atlantica ... [player=OMNHEOdkEKM]Stream[/player] | Download
5. Halloween Town ... [player=keMFk5YZMDA]Stream[/player] | Download

These are only a very small amount of what I've re-recorded. It's just that I haven't had much time to work on the videos because I've been making major renovations to the site that you'll be seeing in the upcoming weeks. This brings me to my next point.

The first of these things is a very small update, but it's necesary for future development. We've started the usage of the reputation system, for the purpose of users gaining access to premium accounts. A user who earns 50 rep. points or has 1,000 posts becomes a Premium User. Premium users have the advantage of receiving new videos two days before every other user. This will come in advantage during the release of KHII: Final Mix+, where you will be able to see these videos before thousands and thousands of people. This update is available now, and I suggest you start using it to reap benefits later.
Click here is you want to learn more about the reputation system.

Our second upcoming site update is the introduction of a full-fledged community based environment. Users will be able to have their own blogs, share pictures and videos, set up friends lists, etc.... It's highly customizable.

The third upcoming update is the introduction of a download manager to manage all of the site's official videos. It's a lot more organized and feature-filled than our current HTML-based videos pages. In about a month's time also, we will be undergoing huge server maintainance in which we will be running five servers giving off 5 TBs of bandwidth each. At that time, we are going to be moving all videos from FileFront and host them directly on KH-Vids for your convenience.

The final and biggest update is a complete site rennovation. New layout, new style, many extra features, etc... It's jam-packed with cool stuff.

Look forward to next month everyone.
