Kingdom Hearts 2

Kingdom Hearts 2! My all-time favourite game! I'll never get bored playing this game, man! Why? Because it is FUN! And the graphics are AWESOME! This game is only playable on PS2 i think.. PS1 won't be able to play it and PS3 won't be able to play it too. Why? Don't ask, I don't know..I just got the info from somewhere. So, too bad..haha! Anyway, Kingdom Hearts 2 is the continuation of Kingdom Hearts. The storyline is about Sora who is also known as the Keyblade wielder. "The Keyblade's chosen one."

This game begins with you controlling Roxas. "Who's Roxas?" You'll find out later in the game. Oh forget it.. I'll tell you.. Roxas is actually Sora's NOBODY. This NOBODY is something that is created from a person's heart. Unfortunately for Sora, his NOBODY was created....errr...I think it was the part where he stabbed himself with the Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts. He stabbed himself because he wanted to save his childhood friend, Kairi. You'll understand better if you play the game. Here's a picture of Roxas.




The three main characters in the game are Sora, a 15-year-old boy who was chosen as master of the Keyblade, a mystical key-shaped weapon with the power to combat darkness; Donald Duck, the court magician of Disney Castle; and Goofy, the captain of the Disney Castle guard.^[9] Both Donald and Goofy were ordered to find and stay with the "key",^[15] which was revealed to be the Keyblade. They befriended Sora during their journey in Kingdom Hearts and draw strength from this friendship. Other original characters include Riku and Kairi, Sora's friends from his home world, Destiny Islands; Roxas, a mysterious boy who can also wield the Keyblade; and DiZ, a man in red robes with a vendetta against Organization XIII.This are the pictures of all the MAIN characters in Kingdom Hearts 2.

Did I mention anything about Riku? Oh, maybe not.. Riku is Sora's best friend and is also a Keyblade wielder. But he's Keyblade is the Blade of Darkness. Here's Riku. I call him, the BIG BAD BOY. mwahaha!

It's not that clear..sorry..something wrong with the resolution..haa~

ANYWAY...

As in the previous games, there are numerous appearances of characters from both Disney and Square Enix works. While some make a return from Kingdom Hearts, new characters from Disney fiction are also introduced, such as Scar from The Lion King and Scrooge McDuck. Pete appears as a persistent enemy who works with the resurrected Maleficent. Nearly twenty characters from Final Fantasy games appear, notably, Auron of Final Fantasy X and the return of Squall Leonhart, Cloud Strife, and Sephiroth. It was stated that although the first game strictly stuck to characters Tetsuya Nomura designed, this time around they were going to "take some risks", implying that characters not directly designed by Nomura might make an appearance.^[16] Other new characters to series are Vivi of Final Fantasy IX, the Moogles from several Final Fantasy games, and Setzer of Final Fantasy VI.

The various worlds that Sora explores often have an optional party character from the film on which the world is based. Such party members include Fa Mulan, the woman who passes as a man in order to take her ailing father's place in the army; Jack Sparrow, a pirate who seeks to reclaim his ship, the Black Pearl; Simba, the self-exiled lion who is the rightful king of the Pride Land; and Tron, a security program in Hollow Bastion's computer network who seeks to end the dictatorship of the Master Control Program.^[9]

Organization XIII, a group of beings without hearts, was established as the main antagonists early on. Organization XIII controls the Nobodies, the bodies left over when a person with a strong heart is turned into a Heartless. Villains unique to the worlds are still prevalent and are often presented as challenges that Sora must overcome. This is the Organization team.. All 13 of them.. But the one's that you'll find and fight in Kingdom Hearts 2 is Axel, Demyx, Xigbar, Xaldin, Luxord, Saiix and Xemnas.

The others are in Final Mix.. Go and check out more on Final Mix. It's really cool! And before you do so, just to tell you before you get disappointed.. Final Mix is ONLY for PS3. And the wordings are ALL in Japanese.. I'm not sure whether the Full English translation of Final Mix is out or not. So, yeah..that's about it on Kingdom Hearts 2. This is sequence for the whole series..

Kingdom Hearts - PS2

Birth By Sleep - PSP

Chain of Memories - PS2

358/2 Days - Nintendo DS

Kingdom Hearts 2 -PS2

Final Mix - PS3

The above chronology is 80% right.. Because I'm not ENTIRELY sure that it is the correct sequence. I'm not sure whether Birth By sleep is before or after Kingdom Hearts. So, that's all for the intro about Kingdom Hearts 2. More to come, " Basics on Kingdom Hearts 2", "Battle System", Secrets and etc.. mwahaha! Tune in next time! ^-^
