A VJump scan has appeared online with Sora wearing a crown. This has been confirmed as being a new Accessory – It may be the prize for completing the Crown Quest. Click to enlarge:

Also, from today we’re doing a countdown to the release of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ which will be released on the 29th March in Japan! Special thanks go to our Design Team for creating the countdown images.

This VJump Magazine scan was recently found:

So I enlarged the screenshot:

It appears that both Sora and Roxas are sitting eating sea-salt ice-cream. The menu options are “New Game”, “Load”, and “Theatre”. I don’t know where “Piece Collection” would be based on that screenshot.

Edit: Theatre Mode may apparently be unlocked at the end of the game, and when you meet certain requirements, you get some of the cutscenes unlocked with English subtitles as well as the cutscenes with Japanese subtitles that you see during the game.

Piece Collection Mode includes multiple puzzles and is connected to Theatre Mode and possibly the Crown Quest as well.

For the Crown Quest, you have to go around the worlds and find little crown tokens, some hidden.

Referred to as “The Enigmatic Soldier” (or “T.E.S.”) in Shonen Jump, the screenshots we saw previously are much higher quality now! Click to enlarge:

I’ve attempted to enlarge the most important ones. Click any to enlarge:

To see what was posted before about this, here is the Final Mix+ Secret Boss Battle News Post.

The most recent Famitsu Issue included a lot of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ screenshots! I’ve enlarged a few found at Jeux France and posted the ones we haven’t seen before here. Hold your mouse over an image for the description and click any to enlarge:

Also there are two other minigames we don’t have screenshots for yet, nor do we know the names:

One involves wasps/bees – You have to defeat 50 of them before they attack Pooh and you can only use “Honey Cards” which are provided under a “Honey Cage”.

Edit: We have Screenshots of all of these from Famitsu now as well! – The wasps/bees minigame is called Bumble-Rumble:

The second is a falling minigame – You and Pooh have to collect Honey as you fall. You also have to avoid things my moving with the analog stick and roll dodging with the Triangle button.

There are also two more Sleights:

Stardust Blitz is a Combination Technique with Donald, in which Donald throws a fireball at Sora, and with the correct timing of hitting the Triangle button, Sora will strike the fireball, sending multiple fireballs everywhere. The cards required are: Donald Card -> Fire Card -> Attack Card.

Lethal Frame is where Sora throws his keyblade, and any enemy he hits with it will be frozen upon impact. The cards required are: Attack Card -> Attack Card -> Stop Card.

In other news, the Extended Commercial is now available! There isn’t anything particularly new though.

From the “Former Synopsis” Blog, here are some new images! Click to enlarge:

It appears that the Secret Boss is an Armored Knight, although possibly not the same as the ones from the Secret Ending. I believe it could be the one in the basement of Hollow Bastion seen in the Promotional Video, although it also looks like the armour is the same shape as the tallest one in the first screenshot from the Secret Ending.

It also looks like he’s flying while he’s fighting. He has a total of 16-17 HP Bars.
