Anyway, I'm just curious... that's all since this thread managed to get up so far and then died out.

To bad AltaVista wasn't 100% accurate... oh well But I'm already getting psyched for Wednesday... and might even do a bit of calling around tomorrow to make sure it's not available on anyone's store shelves.

Originally Posted By jasmine7 I picked it up yesterday, and I am absolutely loving it. The animation is so wonderful, the voices (thus far) are spot on, and it's just so neat to see little cameos by Disney characters that aren't in the main story. I've got to go pick up the guide today, heh, to help me along.

That will giving you access to another entrance to the Queen's castle and you will be on the other side of the hedge for the other treasure chest.
Originally Posted By LordNiekon Many of those chests that are "out of range" will not be accessible until later in the game when you've learned Glide. I know that there are at least 2 chests in Wonderland in that situation... and so far I've come across a few in Agrabah that are like that. BTW: strong recommendation, complete Deep Jungle before trying to take on Cerberus in Olympus Coliseum.
Originally Posted By Santa Monica Thanks for all the tips. I got just about everything. Things are a lot easier with Glide. I'm having a blast with this game. I hope they'll be a Kingdom Hearts 2.
Originally Posted By LordNiekon ok... really didn't want to say this but if you finish the game with all Trinity Marks done, found all the Dalmatians, won all the tournament cups, and whatever other mini-games there might be... basically completed 100% of the game, you will be treated to a special ending video that seems to hint at the possibilty of KH2. But, while KH2 might have been hinted at, this project is still at least 2 years off as KH director Tetsuya Nomura works on another yet-to-be-named project set for release sometime in 2004 (and no, it's not FF XII... that's already just about completed). Then there is the interesting question of whether Disney is going to try to exploit the popularity of this game. Rumors are flying about what Disney might do with this possibly very lucrative franchise... movies? cartoons? No one is really sure at this point in time... though it would be funny to see inflatable Keyblades for sale in the Emporium or at Star Traders... but I'm pretty sure that Disney will not try to make a move without chatting with Nomura first, even if Disney does happen to own Sora, Riku, Kairi, and the Heartless (don't ask... I think Square got screwed on that deal).

And this means of course that you will be able to beat Cerberus in a lot less time and fewer hits than with the original keyblade. I've noticed a vast difference in fighting the Heartless with the 2 different keyblades... and once you complete Agrabah you will get another add-on to transform it once again (but by then you'll also be able to access the Synthesis Shop by then if I recall correctly... along with get access to the Green Trinity marks).
