KH2 Preview from a while ago?

[Tervenaq]

What Happened to these "confirmed" abilities?

One cool thing about Kingdom Hearts 2 Nomura revealed to Dengeki Magazine was that you'll have the ability to fight huge armies that confront you. Though Nomura did not give away too many details, Nomura stated that there will still of course be 1-on-1 fighting but there will also be a way to fight large armies, mainly associated with the triangle button (as you read above).

Below is a list of the abilities that we have heard about and seen through magazine scans and screenshots:

Teleport
Air Juggle
Zeus' Thunder
Herc's Might
Hermes' Tail
Safe Landing
Full Swing
Mawarikomu (sp?)
Wall Kick
Some magic spells from Kingdom Hearts have been modified, while others have been thrown out and replaced with new ones. Two noteable ones is one called "Magnet" which creates a sphere that slowly sucks in enemies. Another one is called "Reflect", which causes a large shield to form around Sora for a very short amount of time, then crack and send out sharp shards a limited distance.

I really wanted Wall Kick...

Wall Kick is just what people used to call Aeriel Recovery because they thought it was him kicking off of the wall.

I also recall that originally there were supposed to be grades on how well you did in completing a Disney world, and depending on how well you did you would get a specific ability. So, like, completing Olympus particularly fast with killing a lot of enemies, maybe you would get a "Zeus' Thunder" ability, if you did less good you might get "Herc's Might" or "Hermes Tail" as alternatives.

^I remember that too. I think that was either just a rumour or they removed it from the game (obviously).
They changed a lot of things. I remember the Twilight Town train was going to be like a second Gummi Ship and you could use it to go to other worlds. But then KH2 came around and it was limited to just Yen Sid's Tower, which is technically in the same world.

yeah that reminds me, how come they took out that part of Hollow Bastion? and why did they take the Wyverns and Behemoths out of the Battle of 1,000 Heartless battle? that made it suk soooo much worse!!!

and on an unrelated note: has anyone watched "Rosario + Vampire"? MAN that show is awesome!!!

[Crimson Soul]

Yah when I got to the fight I was like wtf. It would have been way better if it stayed orginally how it was.

[Snow Candy]

I don't know what happened to those ablities....I want to say it's changed or I don't know...

[Noo Monkey]

Looks like it's a good thing I knew nothing about KH2 except the fact we got it last.
I might have thought even less of it.

[.:Raz:.]

They also said that each world would have three giant, distinct areas to explore. For example:

Beast's Castle
Forest
Village

Olympus Coliseum
Thebes
The Underworld

etc, etc...

Me too. I really needed that in Agrabah where it was first shown too.

Behold one of the very few members that remembers anything from before TGS 06.

There was also a pic of the dope ass Disney train going to CO, but you see how THAT worked out.
