There hasn't been any new info on KH2 since the announcement that there would indeed
be one.....Until Now!! The june issue of the Official Playstation Magazine had an article on Kingdom Hearts 2. It wasn't the
biggest article but any news is good news. Here is a summary of what was said in the article:
- Kingdom Hearts 2 has been in development for a while

So we can expect some great things from Kingdom Hearts. If you would like to read this
article. It is in issue 69...June 2003....Page 45
PSM finally reveals what the
secret ending is for
FINALLY!! This February's
issue of Playstation Magazine mentioned what the secret ending was about and that there will be a KH2........They said
that the secret ending was for Kingdom Hearts 2 and that square and Disney are apparently working on the sequel....So it is
official..the secret ending was for KH2 and KH2 is in the works as we speak! Kingdom hearts got the number 6 spot for the
top 10 video games of the year! The column that has this information is on page 52. If you do not subscribe to PSM here is
what the column said:
What's great about this game?
Admit it: nobody's better at creating captivating fantasy worlds filled with compelling
characters than square and Disney...no one. In the hands of Square's master game designers, the Disney Characters blend almost
seamlessly into a classically-styled RPG quest that is epic in scale, but which still possesses an intimate, deeply personal
story line. The action-orientated battle system was also quite unique and innovative while still maintaining a level of depth
that we've come to expect from square. Apparently, a sequel to this soon-to-be-classic RPG is already in the works, so we
couldn't be happier.
Our favorite moment
The closing movie (accompanied by Utada Hikaru's "Simple and Clean") and especially the
credit sequence that follows it. Best closing credits to a game EVER. Watch the game's "special" ending and you'll
see why we're excited about the sequel. Oh, we also have to mention Halloween Town. Being able to walk through
Jack Skellington's world was an absolute pleasure in itself.
Creator's thoughts
Tetsuya Nomura, Director
" On behalf of the Kingdom Hearts team, we'd like to thank PSM and the readers
for choosing our game as one of the best of 2002. We are all very excited with the success of this title in the states.
We faced many challenges with Kingdom Hearts but our goal remained the same---to create a truly unique action RPG.
Our efforts proved successful in the welcome reception that we saw with its release in the US. Being selected as one of the
top 10 games in 2002 is a great encouragement for our future projects to come.

KINGDOM HEARTS 2, DOOR TO THE LIGHT
A lot of you have been asking, "What's the deal with Kingdom Hearts 2?" Well there
hasn't been much talk about it from the producers except that they have officially announced that there will be a second Kingdom
Hearts and that we shouldn't expect to see it out until at least 2005. The name of the second one is rumored
to be Kingdom Hearts, Door to the Light and there has been rumors that Riku will star in the second one. KH2 Door to
the light is supposibly going to be placed either 4 or 10 years after the first one but nothing official has been said about
this. I will keep every one posted on new news and details regarding Kingdom Hearts 2.

KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX PLANTINUM EDITION?
~Written By Shar ~
Previously believed to have been a port of the English version of Kingdom Hearts, Square
has announced that Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix will include new extras not found in the English version of the game. A
limited edition version of Final Mix, with the long-winded name of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix ~Platinum Edition~, will also
be released. The Platinum Editon will feature a set of postcards, a freakish Sora action figure, a sheet of stickers, and
a set of three pins.
~Spoilers ahead. Tread carefully~
Major additions to Final Mix include a new character named Unknown, who will also
appear in a new FMV sequence, and possibly some flashback scenes featuring Sora and Riku. Also, fanboys can rejoice for new
cutscenes featuring (highlight for spoilers) a showdown between the Kingdom Hearts incarnations of Cloud
and Sephiroth. All additions made in the English version of Kingdom Hearts (such as extra bosses and the Expert Mode)
will be included in Final Mix as well. The estimated retail price for the Platinum Edition is 8800 yen (approximately $70
USD). There are no plans for a Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix release outside of Japan.
