Bloggers have begun to post some new information on how Jump Festa has gone, including more detailed coverage on the trailers! There are also some new pictures as well! Please take a look below, and if you'd like to see everything that went down in the trailers, click read more!



These are all directly from Maiki's Live Journal, and from Kowaiki Live Journal. If either wishes for these to be removed, do tell me!

Blogger Maiki on Kingdom Hearts at Jump Festa:

Kingdom Hearts: Re CoM:
-Showed more cutscenes, even up to Sora meeting Namine at Destiny Island. Sora was going "I've fought all this way just to meet you!" and was happily shaking Namine's hand but Namine replied, "I'm happy that you came all the way here for me, Sora, but... I... I'm not the one that's in your heart" (paraphrased) and slowly let go of Sora's hands. It's amazing how a sad scene in a GBA game that was in 2D and voice-less can feel so much sadder once it's in 3D and voiced. ;_; - Zexy talked A LOT. XD; And I had trouble listening to what he was saying because they were like blasting "Hikari" at full volume or something but basically it's the scene where Zexion meets Riku and blabbering about darkness. Then they showed the Zexion VS Riku battle and Zexion was weapon-less at first but later he spawned out Soul Eater. Still nothing to show what's his real weapon, though. D:
-This time they showed new footages of Halloween Town (which wasn't in the TGS trailer). I didn't check out the playable demo for the game because I already tried it out at TGS but after looking at other blogs, it turns out they added Halloween Town and the Vexen battle into the demo!! DX WAAAAHHH I WOULD LOVE TO QUEUE UP FOR HOURS AGAIN FOR A BATTLE WITH VEXEEEENN *whinewhinewhine*

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix:
-Sora's Christmas costume HAHAHAHAH!! XDDD
-ORGANIZATION MUSHROOMS!! OMG THEY WERE SO CUTE AND SO MANY AND IN VARIOUS SIZES OMGGGGG XDDDD (This LJ entry already has scans of Christmas Sora and Organization Mushroom)
-NEW AREAS. One place (or two?) looked like a new area in Hollow Bastion. -SORA GOT A NEW DRIVE. He had his KH1 colour scheme and did a bunch of cool stuff on screen. (Don't ask me to describe unless you're fine with me saying stuff like "There were sparklies and sparklies and some twirling around and some coolness").
-SORA GETS TO FIGHT THE COM ORGANIZATION MEMBERS IN THE COLISEUM. Or the place looked like the coliseum, anyway. There were footages of Sora fighting Lexaeus and Marluxia (in separate battles for each). Marluxia's battle looked awesome. Marluxia was slicing away at Sora as if he's a weed! But the Reaction Command for Marluxia got Sora stealing away his scythe and slicing back at him hahahah. XDD
-There was a meeting between the Organization members and they mentioned Axel's meeting with Sora (I think they were refering to Axel's death, though) could have triggered the Roxas in Sora to wake up. That explains why the Sora VS Roxas scene, then. (I KNEW Axel's death was what triggered it!)
-Roxas VS Sora battle. Um. HOLY **** ROXAS HAD WAAAAAAAAAAYYY TOOOOOO MAAAAAANNYYYYY HP BARS!! It's either for real or the staff members decided to play around with the dummy HP bars for trailer use. >__> And I dunno if the player just sucked at the game but damn, the battle looked as hard as an optional boss battle! Sora could barely put much damage to Roxas! And Roxas has Samurai's Reaction Command "Duelbout"! (can't remember what it's called in the ENG ver >_> Since the player didn't press the command fast enough, Roxas totally pwned Sora. *_*;;
-Around the end of the trailer, an Organization member (hooded and no voice heard so we dunno who he is) entered this hidden white chamber that's full of Nobody symbols in it. He sat on this throne-like chair in the middle of the room and further away in the room someone (we could only see half of that person's body but they resembled the Sunset Horizon knights a bit) was lying on the floor. The Organization member said something to that person (I forgot what, sorry) and called him a "friend."
-And finally in the end you see a sneak peek of the Broken Masked Knight (same footage as TGS'06 trailer) and after that the "NEW PROJECT START IN 2007" text.

Maiki on Charms:
And they had these little KH charms. From left to right, from top: Sora's crown keychain, Mickey Mouse symbol, Kairi's charm, Heartless symbol, Keyblade, and Roxas' zipper. I so totally wanted to buy Roxas' zipper but each is 5,200 YEN. *heart crushes into pieces*

Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix:
-Sora will at least get one new form. I think he wears the outfit of KH. He moves too fast for me to see properly.
-Boss fight with Marluxia. He can use earth attack, it seems. Triangle reaction command allows you to throw Marluxia's scythe back at him.
-Boss fight with Roxas. He can glide, which means he moves much faster than you. He has 10+ health bars so beware of sore fingers. He also has these nobody mark shaped sword thingy protecting him. 13 of them I think.
-New enemies: Black mushrooms
-Some worlds are extended by the looks.
-Sora gets new outfit at Holloween Town - black santa clothes.
-New cutscene: Hooded person walks down a place that looks like the Castle That Never Was. The moment he sits down on a throne, nobody marks on the wall lite up.

Kingdom Hearts: Re CoM:
-Cut scene of Riku and Zexion's conversation. Riku: "If I go through this door, may be I can erase the darkness in me..."
-Dark Riku VS Xexion. Xexion can generate copies of himself to confuse you.
-Cut scene of Sora and Namine, when Sora finally found her.

That is all for now!
