shippoyasha, KH2 will have a big side story that includes Cloud (and Squall).
Here's a piece of news from KH2.co.uk:
"
The current issue of the Dengeki Playstation features an interview with Kingdom Hearts 2 Director, Tetsuya Nomura. In one of the questions Nomura disclosed a couple more details about Cloud's side story.
-Cloud's story develops in a way that it becomes independent from the main storyline
-It has a similar theme to the main story (light vs dark)
-It's very entertaining as far as being only a side story "
So you can wait for a big side story containing a lot of Square characters (if it's as big of a side story as Nomura says, it should have at least many Final Fantasy characters, I don't think it's just Cloud and Squall)

I don't recall ever hearing II was supposed to be the last of Sora's story, in fact a couple years back they were saying that II wouldn't be if I remember a certain Gamespot TV(now known as G4's X-Play) interview with Nomura...

shippoyasha - from the demos available, Seifer, Fujin and Raijin all have roles, and Auron is your playable partner in Olympus; Hades hires him for a variety of reasons.

So.. any news on the SquareEnix character cameos? I hope we can see Crono, Squall and the like.

Delays really suck. I really wanted this for Christmas this year just like Zelda.
What is up with all these good games getting delayed?

The game delays are really so that they can post good earnings in latter fiscal quarters. Big games often hit at the beginning or end of those periods to boost overall revenue and satisfy shareholders.
Back to the pictures: It's not GAF's fault because I already found out but there's a major spoiler up here for anyone who hasn't seen Pirates of the Carribean yet--like me...
...I'm renting that movie tomorrow.

Is it just me or are Sony and Nintendo using delays of console games to throw-down the gauntlet for the handheld market? Sony is playing a dangerous game as such, but all I want for the holidays are the 2 Castlevanias and the Mega Man X Collection. Sometimes I really feel like an older gamer when most of the series I enjoy are anywhere from 10-20 years old now. But as such MS won't be able to "pander" to me... oh well, I'll have more money in pocket hopefully.

Also, note that they've revealed barely anything regarding Twilight.
It's extremely likely that we only know around the first half of the game.

wait wait, early '05 release?
Christmas really IS cancelled! this was all I was really looking for the holiday schedule that was left. I doubt it will be out in time for my birthday in January either, so eventually there will just be a ton of simultaneous releases to make my wallet and free time cry.
is it just me, or is MS the only company trying to pander to consumers for the holiday season? well, beyond the DS.

"Steamboat Willy, PotC, Beauty & The Beast, and Mulan.."
Plus there are possibly the Lion King world and at least Deep Dive. Disney Castle is also a playable level this time. AND lots of the old worlds don't seem to be 100% like in the first one, new places and stuff you know.
Of course you have to remeber that they probably won't reveal all the worlds. It's fun to get surpised when you're playing the game. Now there is ten worlds that have been confirmed, that's not even the amount of worlds in KH1 and when it has been said that the game is like at least twice as long as the original, you could assume that it will have many more worlds yet to be revealed.

kitton, this is supposed to be the last game in the KH series. That's not a promise that they won't make more, but the story is finished in KHII according to the designers.

Amazing. And it's not even on a next gen console. I can't wait to see the KH series transforms itself on the PS3.

this game looks friggen amazing, i'm blown away at the amount of talent it took to bring the disney world into 3D. This is the game i have been waiting for, for an incredible amount of time. It shall keep my busy till Zelda for sure

It's looking great! My PS2 broke and this game is the only reason I'm going to replace it.
I also hope a Final Fantasy world shows up but it's not a big deal to me if one doesn't. What I really want though is for Tifa to grace us with her presence... don't really care who else shows up though, well maybe Yuna
Yes the Gummi ship looks like it's going to be awesome this time around... and the Steamboat level, beautiful.

Aside from the fact that you sliced up all of those disney villians in the first game, I think this will be fun. I still want to know what the Squall/Cloud teamup on that one level was all about.

...I'm aware you revist worlds with new stories, dramaticfool, which is why I said I'm down with revisiting them.
But it's a new game. Playing through the same area with a new goal isn't fun when that's the large majority of the game. I had hoped more for using the old areas for gathering information, for lesser, secondary worlds, and the new worlds having more of a focus. As it stands right now, sure, there are four new worlds and... how many old worlds?
It's a new game. I don't want to spend my time poking around Atlantis and Agrabah again. I'll play the original for that.
And counting Hollow Bastian as an "FF world" is BS. It's an original creation, not an FF world. A world from Squeenix would be a recration of Midgar or the World of Balance or End of Time or Expel or something; that's what I want.

Um, we've known the gummi ships have been back for a while now. That said, the footage of them looks pretty amazing - more along the lines of a Panzer Dragoon rail-shooter.

I'm sure they wouldn't reveal ALL the worlds before the game came out, and save some as a suprise.
And if they have revealed them all...then yes, not enough new worlds/too much revisiting of old.
But I am loving the Steamboat level.

Gods I can't wait for this. #1 on my most anticipated games list, and it most likely will be until the day I've got it in my hands.

dramaticfool 10.2.2005 at 05:07:26 PM
come on, you guys, keep up... there are a few new worlds, and all of the worlds in the original are replayed with new stories... the new worlds are: Pirates, MuLan, Steamboat, and Disney Castle. And as for the FF world, logically, that would be hollow bastion, since the FF characters came from there in the original.

wolvenone 10.2.2005 at 04:42:45 PM
Oh, I expect there'll be a handful of original worlds as well. Plus some not yet revealed worlds.
Also I wouldn't fully rule out a FF derived world. Semi-unlikely but it could happen.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think there will be many new worlds...there's Steamboat Willy, PotC, Beauty & The Beast, and Mulan...so four (though you were already able to see Bell and the Beast in the first game, so that's like 3.5 ish).
No Sleeping Beauty level? (That'd be awesome, with all the thorns, sleeping town, castle...) Toy Story would have been tight if everything would have been fine with Pixar (if they even needed to get their approval). Lilo & Stitch? Uhh...what else is there...

So far it looks more like Kingdom Hearts 1.5 than a full sequel. I really hope there are more new worlds. I'm down with revisiting old worlds, but damn, you need a better balance when it comes to new and old.
Also: how disappointing if there's no Squeenix worlds this time around. I always figured they'd do a hidden Bend of Time world or something, just because... they have to.

They totally pushed the game's release date back just so they could get Keira Knightley's cleavage right.
