Kingdom Hearts II, FFXII first look

Square Enix has officially confirmed the existence of Kingdom Hearts II for PS2, along with a new GBA adventure dubbed Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Although frustratingly few details have emerged so far, we do know that Sora will return as the hero of Kingdom Hearts II, with Donald Duck, Goofy and Mickey Mouse amongst his companions. The Magic Box has scanned shots of both games, so go here for PS2 and here for GBA.

TBM also reveals that Squenix will not be unveiling Final Fantasy XII (note: 12, rather than X-2) properly TGS, but will instead hold a press conference at Tokyo's Virgin Cinema on November 19th. Happily for us though, Squenix has already erected FF12.com complete with an exquisitely detailed teaser image for the game. You should check that one out with all possible haste...
