.........Or an extemly kind Gotwooter who will tell us in a month (looks at Psyke)....

I think all the hardcore KH guys here will get the news earlier than me. I don't think I will get the Jap version, but rather I'll get the same US version as you guys.

We'll, yeah. But it is better to get verifaction for claims. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
I guess Psyke wants to suffer with us. Now thats a TRUE friend!!

Heres a big update on the new battle system. This answered a lot of questions for me.
This info came from here


Kingdom Hearts II's gameplay's most striking innovation is the Drive system, as you defeat enemies they will drop yellow balls that will fill up the Drive Gauge. Once it reaches its maximum, Sora will go through a short transformation sequence which is in fact a sort of fusion, throughout the game Sora will gain the ability to fuse with various other party members.

However, this mode will only last for so long. After you merge, the drive gauge will become grey with a 5 next to it. The gauge will gradually decrease until reaching 0, upon which Sora will regain his classic appearance. But while in Drive mode, if you continue getting the yellow balls it will add to your decreasing drive bar so important to be fighting within Drive.

Standard Form

- Standard black costume
- No harmful side effects

Valor Form

Changes
- You change into a red costume
- You wield 2 Keyblades
- You can choose which Keyblades you use (Default: Kingdom Key, Oathkeeper)

Pros
- More attacks in each combo
- Speed increases
- Strength increases
- Attack animations are different
- When merged, you can give damage to Goofy instead of Sora

Cons
- When merged with Goofy, he is no longer in your party
- You cannot use Magic when in Valor Form

Wisdom Form

Changes
- You change into a blue costume
- Your Keyblade length increases. You carry it behind you
- The command menu changes from Attack to Shoot
- Shoot allows your Keyblade to fire a Magic white bullet at an enemy
- Instead of running, you glide along the floor

Pros
- The strength of your Magic increases
- Different Magic attacks can be combined to make bigger combos
- Magic can be used in rapid succession

Cons
- When merged with Donald, he is no longer in your party

*reads post* Whoa!! This is good info. Thanks Phoenix.

Second, It is called Sin Harvest because he clearly says "Sin Harvest" while casting.

Well, I'm not saying that you're right, or that I'm right, but there are a couple of things that point to it being Descend Heartless Angel.

-In FF7, Sephiroth has a technique called Heartless Angel. This attack reduces your party's HP to 1.
-If you listen VERY closely, you can hear Sephiroth say something before "Sin" and after "Harvest."

There's a lot of controversy about this over at Gamefaqs forums. Only the developers and Lance can tell us.

[Phoenix20578]

Thanks Bud. That was truly a treat for me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

That is a torrent for the trailer that was posted earlier in the thread, only now, Keep translated it all [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

[Enderz]

omg thanks bud have been waiting for a trailer to come

[ChaosK]

question, how many people finished CoM??

[Dezalanel]

I did. Its a pretty easy game once you figure out the fighting scheme.

[Phoenix20578]

I finished it, both as Sora and as Riku.

[ChaosK]

is axel in the game? i swear the guy with red hair is axel.

[Phoenix20578]

Yeah, he's one of the bosses in the game. You fight him twice. The fight time, he's a pussy, but the second
time is both fun and challenging.

[ChaosK]

i meant in KH2 the trailer, i think that guy with red hair looks like axel.

[Phoenix20578]

I didnt see Axel anywhere in the recent trailer, but he is in the older one from ign.com

[ChaosK]

i went to the ebgame site with their screenshots they have axel in there. i guess i should finish CoM. also, isnt that larxane in the new trailer? (well she's from CoM not sure if i got her name right)

[ChaosK]

Check it out its a site with some info on KH2.

edit: sheiz double posted, my bad.

Larxene = Dead. Killed by Sora in CoM.

[ChaosK]

oh okay thanks, i never completely finished CoM (something i'm doing right now with VBA)

[Tofu #2]

Who the fuck are Axel and Larxane? I haven't played CoM due to lack of Gameboy, so anybody care to elaborate?
