Kingdom Hearts 2 is all but officially confirmed by Square. If you gather all 99 Dalmations, complete '100 Acres' (Pooh) and beat the Olympia Colesseum (Hades Cup), you'll obtain a secret ending which indicates that a sequel is indeed in the works. Seems that either Riku or Kairi will be the main character in the upcoming new installment (and, I must say, a fair bit of chance that Tifa will show up in the sequel - see the secret ending and you'll know what I mean).

btw Prof: how's the game? Listening to Disney characters (esp. Goofy - ugh!) speaking in Japanese/Engrish/whatever really freaked me out. (>_<);

I'm trying to collect all the Doggies as I play through the game. Damn, they're too cute. It's a crewl joke that someone would hide them in treasure chests in the oddest places of the worlds.

Right now, I'm "under the sea". Sebastian looks delicious. I would be playing it more, had it not been for the weird camera angles. I get motionsick quite easily.

I've heard about the alt' ending and that it suggests a sequel. I haven't heard anything about Tifa though- can you tell me using the spoiler option?

Goofy in Japanese was still OK. Jack Skellington, however... hummmggnnnhhh.....

Thanks for clearing that up Prof. I was wondering about how bad Disney/Nightmare Before Christmas characters would sound in Japanese.

Seeing how I only have Japanese PS2, guess only way I'd get KH now is if they ever release it in Korea (where most of PS2 games released are in English while they are coded as NTSC/J).

The Japanese voices actually fit the characters pretty well. They have an almost identical tone to the English voices from Disney Animations, which is really amazing.

Yet, the game just doesn't have the same (I can't believe I'm saying this) Disney Magic, unless you hear it in English. So yes, I suggest you get the English version for sure.

<<pretty spoiler free for all>>

There's a girl in the 'secret ending' dressed in a red dress and has black hair - she does resembles Tifa *a bit*. And considering the fact that all FFVII characters that made an appearance in Kingdom Hearts were in Ehrgeiz as well (namely Cloud, Yuffie - Square also reused their Ehrgeiz voice actors for KH), there's a good chance Tifa will appear in the upcoming installment (Tifa appeared in Ehrgeiz as well).

btw Prof, if Minazuki is a piece of bull, then which JPN game sites do you recommend?

Humn, I'll have to do harder to find the rest of the puppies then, thanks.

I wouldn't say Minazuki is a peice of bull, but there's definitely lots of better sites, imo.

CCB's Game News Online hosts well updated news in a similar short-style format. It might seem a bit confusing since it's split up by consoles, but it's pretty good. Another good site is the Namae no nai Heya which I recently credited for two pieces of interesting news. And of course- last but not least, 2ch for about.. well, almost anything, as long as oyu can tell what's real and fake.

First of all, the secret ending is uncertain if it's really hinting a sequel, or if it's merely a parody joke by Square.
Although I would like to think it's hinting a sequel. :)
It's premature to say "KH2 in works!".
you gotta take it with grain of salt, pepper, and chilli.

And the girl that kinda looks like Tifa is most likely Kairi grown up, judging from the content and the quotes that fly by.

Well seeing as how many it will probaly sell will be enough alone to warrant a sequel.

So far, it's already sold almost half a million in the first week.
When the game hits US and Europe, I estimate the final sales will be well above 2 million.
Huge seller for a non-FF Square title.

I estimated KH sales to be 400,000 in the first week of its sale, and the number was 460,000 and growing. I initially estimated US sales to be about 300,000~400,000, but I think I may need to up that number a bit. =)
