Volume 4 was the last volume, and it was out awhile ago now I think. But there's still the Chain of Memories manga, which is only 2 vol long, and there's a Kingdom Hearts 2 manga about Roxas going on right now. I can't remember if the CoM manga is coming out here or not.

Hello! I'm new to this board. (o.k. so Asuka knows me as 'haru') You all are calling me Haru. (even though it isn't my real name.)
Getting to point : Last time I read the KH series they said the Chain of Memories was coming out. And you are saying there are two already out?! Are they in english? (I have no idea how to read japanese. But I love Kingdom Hearts!) And they are doing a KH 2 series?! How much are the books?! I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!! <------- I was over reacting........ -__-'
Anyway, Hi everybody!! I have some questions: how do create or get an avatar? I am very new to this stuff and I must know!!!!
p.s. my real name is Brittany Williams aka Vice President to Class Council! ( and that's MS. vice president to you!) <---- jk

The CoM manga is only two volumes long and it was serialized in SquareEnix's monthly magazine Shonen GanGan. I have it in magazine form, because I have a subscription to the magazine, and I have the two tankoubons. I think I heard that it was licensed, but I can't remember, if it is, then it hasn't come out in english yet. There is now a Kingdom Hearts 2 manga currently focused around Roxas being serialized right now in the same magazine. I only have a few chapters of it and the first tankoubon isn't out yet. You could probably get the CoM tanks in an online store somewhere, they'd probably be around 5 or 6 bucks plus shipping.
It's alright to over react, Kingdom Hearts 2 is a most amazing game indeed....*needs to play proud mode game*

I love Roxas! The part that you are talking about is when he becomes Sora or when he is in Orginization 13? Long time ago on the Barnes & Nobel website it said that the Kingdom Hearts manga was going to be in one of those bundle things in October. I'm thinking about getting that. Would you mind bringing that magazine? I love to see the KH story line. (I have beatten KH2 once and playing it again and I beatten the 1st one too.)
I have a hard time drawing Sora's and Roxas' eyes. Do you know a better way to draw them?
P.s. Is that Auron from KH2?

The first 3 to 4 hours of KH2, when you just play as Roxas, that's what's going on right now in the comic, I think it's at the struggle battle tournament to be exact, but I haven't been paying attention.
The KH1 manga, all 4 volumes, are being released in a boxed set soon.
Bring it where?
I've beaten KH1 in English probably more than 10 times, in Japanese once(15 hours, 8 in a row, massive speed run almost killed me), in Final Mix I'm at the final boss. With KH2, I beat it in Japanese first, and that save file now has around 124 hours on it, I'm freakishly strong in it too, and then I beat it in English once, and then haven't really played it at all since it's better in Japanese.
Um....not really, I don't really know how you draw and I draw them the same as I draw most other eyes, only really big and bright.
Auron is from Final Fantasy 10, but he was put in KH2. The figure I have is from FF10 though.

How did you play the game in japanese?! '-' ? That must have confused your brain! I have the game music for KH and KH2. Except the lyrics for the KH2 cd are all in Japanese! aaaaarrrrrggghhhh.......... How do you get Sora's Final or Anti Form? I've been having a hard time with that.
How easy is it to make a Roxas cosplay costume? (as you can see I love Roxas.) You know Sora is in Roxas right? If you rearrange the letter in R-O-X-A-S you get S-O-R-A-X but don't mind the x.

I've played a lot of games in Japanese, it's not that hard once you get used to it. In new games like KH2 especially, there's voice acting and since I can understand more Japanese than read it, I can understand probably at least half of the storyline from that. Back in the days of the Super Nintendo, and even a lot of Playstation, there wasn't voice acting, so you were on your own if you couldn't read Japanese. Besides RPG's are rather linear, the game almost always pushes you in the right direction for everything.
I bought the KH2 soundtrack when it came out in Japan. I don't really understand the problem of having Japanese lyrics for a Japanese song.
Sora's final form(the white one), is gained randomly by driving right near nobodies. You have to have the other 3 forms and have gotten to the nobodies' castle in the World that Never Was(or whatever it's called). When you get up there just get real close to nobodies and try driving, it happened to me both times without expecting it. It's an insanely powerful form, but sucks at first since it doesn't last long and takes the most drive bars to change, but if you can level it to about 5, it's awesome.
Sora's anti-form(black heartless) on the other hand, can't actually be obtained. It occurs randomly from driving too much. And while it's a lot of fun some times, it can suck if you go to drive into brave or master forms and get anti form instead right in the middle of a boss fight. Basically, if you want to see it, drive as much as you can, as fast as you can. The more bars you have the more drives it takes to get it, so basically, it's harder to drive into it at later parts in the game. I did some testing with it since there's got to be a set time limit to get it to trigger and probably if you drive 5 or 6 straight times in under 30 mins, you'll get it. I don't remember too well right now though, I haven't played KH2 since maybe June and at that time I wasn't doing anything but gummi ship missions. It might be higher like 8 times if your at the end of the game, or much lower if you don't have all the drive bars or the forms, or the forms at their max level. There's a lot of factors that go into trying to figure it out, but really, if you want to get it, just drive and drive and drive. The number you drive into anti-form shows up on the final ending screen along with a bunch of other info too.
I don't know anything about cosplay, I don't do it so yeah.
It's actually the other way around, Roxas is from Sora, the 'X' was added because Roxas was an Org member. Sora existed first and then Roxas came into being when Sora was turned in a Heartless.

Whoa hold on. So Roxas came into being when in the first game Sora plunges Riku's keyblade into him and then becomes a heartless? Where did you get that info? All I know is that Roxas is Sora's Nobody.
I have a Super Nintendo and it still works. All I play on it is The Legend of Zelda. ( which I haven't played in a while.)
Anyway I'll try that drive thing. Thanks for the info!

Yes, when Sora became a Heartless in the first game, that's when Roxas was "born". Nobodies are born when people with strong hearts become Heartless, and the only known Nobodies are the Org members including Roxas. It's revealed in the game at the end, if you didn't already know that then you must of just gotten this game and then I should have warned about spoilers.
I have a SNES too and it works, but it isn't hooked up because there isn't enough space on the floor in my new room for it to be, there's barely enough room for just my PS2, GC and Xbox. I played a lot of Japanese ROM's on my computer instead.
When I first played through KH2 in Japanese, I only got anti-form 3 or 4 times because I barely used any of the drive forms for the entire game. But when I went through it in English I drove as much as possible(mostly because I knew exactly what I was doing), but I got anti-form almost 20 times in that game.

... And I am moving this to the Games board, where this particular route of discussion will be more appropriate. 'Sides, game board needs activity.
Random conversational side note: Haru, Luciide isn't in the BAC, and, for that matter, doesn't even live on the east coast. I told you, only some of the people around here are also BAC members. In any case, the point is that she can't bring magazines in.

It's a little hard to have game board activity when I seem to really be the only one who plays video games around here.....

Hey! I play video games too! In fact I can't get enough of video games!!!! I haven't looked at the game board yet.... but I will look at it. Random side note:(Sorry about that AB. You know I'm getting used to this.) Aaackk!!! Spoilers!!!! How do you get to them? (I bet you have to get 100% on everything right?) Anyway I read that Luciide said someting about a The Lengend of Zelda manga? Did it become a manga?

The spoilers are in the game, either you don't pay enough attention or your only like 3 hours into the game. Reading the Other Ansem Reports might help too. You don't need 100% to know stuff, though I did get both games to 100%, I lurk the internet like there's no tomorrow as well, so I know a lot about a lot of stuff. Also, seriously, 124 hours on one save file, I had the game beat completely, 100%, at 72 hours. I know how to play this game.
There's a lot of Zelda mangas, one for almost every game actually. I own the Ocarina of Time(N64) manga, which is 2 vols, and a Four Swords(GC) manga that I don't know how long it is. Ocarina of Time is probably the most popular game if you weren't alive to play the first games, which were also just as good, but new gamers these days just think that if it's older than PS2 they don't need to play it. Lies....such lies......
I hate school....

Do I need to get cheat codes or is their a special way of doing things? (I'm problably at 23 hours...) How do you get the final form again?
I have played the first Zelda and beaten it. The second one I'm having a hard time with. Basically, I've played all the Zeldas' ( but not nescessarily beaten them all.) I can't really understand Majora's Mask. I don't like the whole 'day' concept. It's bother some. The Four Swords is based on A Link to the Past game on the Super NES. Most Zelda's aren't worth playing. (they're simply too boring or too easy)
I used to have a classic NES but I sold it. T.T

No, you don't need anything to get everything, just get 100% on everything and you should know everything, if you don't well then that's not my fault, look through the entire Jiminy Journal in detail. It took me 72 hours in Japanese to get 100% on my first try, it took me 54 hours in English in my second try. I said how to get the final form in a couple posts ago, just scroll up. You can't get it until the end of th game anyway.
I've played most of the Zelda's too, but I like the Zelda series, so almost all of the games are worth a play at least for fun, the main games to play though would be a Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Wind Waker, yes wind waker, that game's fun end of story. They others are mostly just fun to play for kicks.
Stupid move. They're basically impossible to find now, except maybe eBay, but I haven't checked. It's really hard to find a working sega genesis too. I should just steal my brother's one time...

On the Wind Waker game I found it funny when Link falls down on the ice on that ice island. It makes me laugh so hard. I found where Sora does that too in KH2 when you are trying to find Pooh in the cave. lol. XD
What games I could play on the NES were like Super Contra, Die Hard, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers(why?), and The Legend of Zelda. My dad used to have the first Final Fantasy and I beged him to teach me how to play it but that never happened. I wish I still had my NES. T.T
How do you know when you've reached 100% for Jiminy's Journal?
For Halloween, I'm being Sora in his Halloween Town outfit. How about you?

I did that with Sora too.
You could always find an emulator and play roms on the computer, but I'm not in the mood to tell you how to do it, so if you don't know how, I 'm not going to tell you. Go google it or something.
On the main screen of the journal, there will be a gold mickey head beside the name of the place. But it's impossible to get 100% until your at the very end of the game, there's a lot to do in it too. If your looking to get 100%, have fun fighting Sephiroth, then fighting Cloud, Tifa, Leon and Yuffie all at the same time. God that fight sucks to do the first time through, took me like 40 or 50 mins to do it after I had already been fighting in the same tournament for like 2 hours. But now I can beat all four in about 3 to 5 mins maybe, I love being freakishly strong in that game.
I don't really do Halloween anymore, it really went downhill in my old neighborhood which sucks, I used to go out to Chili's with my friend, but since she went to college and I moved out of state, that's out of the question. I'll probably just raid have the candy we buy and watch anime all night.....Or play some old games that I've been meaning to...
The KH:CoM manga vol 1 just came out here too btw....

Oo! Is it Chain of Memories? btw, is Chain of Memories a good game? I've never played it.
I can't beat flippin' Sephiroth! (well, problably cause i'm at lv. 47) What is it like to battle Tifa? Hard? Being freakishly strong is awesome in that game. Have you gotten the Ultima Weapon? I'm still trying to find the items I need to synthesize. (and I'm doing pretty well)

It's a hard game actually, and depending on how big of a KH fan you are, you may or may not even need to play it. I'm a big KH fan, so I wanted to play it. But interestingly enough, Nomura and the KH crew are making CoM into full 3-D for the release of KH2 Final Mix which is due out next spring I think. I will totally be importing it too...
I've heard many a story of people beating Sephiroth, or as it sounds in Japanese Sefiroth, around the level your at, but I wouldn't recommend it. I beat him in both games when I was in the 60ties, it's a bit easier then. And btw, when you beat Sefiroth, you get the Fenrir keyblade, which is the strongest keyblade in the game, it's not the most balanced as it has no magic I believe, but it has a strength of 7, which outdoes the Ultima weapon by at least 1 point.
I'm assuming you have the recipe to make the weapon as you won't be able to without it, but by the time your at the final boss you'll have most of everything you'll need to make it, it's a pretty lame keyblade though, I think I've used it only a couple times and most were because I was just beating the game with different keyblades at the time.
And again, the synthesis lists are part of the 100%, so yes, I have, you need to assume that I know everything, since I've done everything, in Japanese even. Imagen the entire synthesis list, the item list, even the menu, entirely in Japanese, and not simple characters either, kanji, most of the item synthesis menus are made up of kanji. Imagen that when you get to level 99, you'll have to to get 100%, your str and def will max out around the 60ties, with or without a keyblade and item, fenrir might put you in 70, but that's it. Now if you want higher stats you have to get the items to make the items to use to synthesis atk up and def up items. I have spent so much time, doing nothing but making those items that my atk and def are actually maxed out at levels 154 and 155 respectively. And then I was doing magic, but that's only at like 105 or something. Then I spent about 4 hours doing nothing but gummi ship missions, most of the time, you'll go through the whole game with at least 10% of that done, maybe more if you kicked @$$ in it, but mine is up to around 75% done. If you put your Sora in battle with my Sora, I could kill you in probably a few hits, and if I couldn't because of armor, then you wouldn't be able to kill me because of my armor.
Tifa isn't bad, JUST MAKE SURE TO STAY BEHIND HER, I'm not kidding, most frontal attacks will be worthless. And you fight her more than once, besides the first 4 tournaments that pain and panic host, hades himself hosts another 4 tournaments in his quarters in the underworld. They're a lot harder and take longer, but you fight Tifa and Yuffie and Cloud and Leon in those pairs and then in the final tournament, you have to get through 50 levels, lvl 49 is the fight with Tifa, Yuffie, Leon and Cloud, you have to fight all 50 levels at once if you want to not only beat it, but break the record to get the gold mickey head. You also have to be on lvl 99 and have all 4 drive forms lvls maxed out to even get that tournament, so it's not like you can come back when your stronger.
