And now here comes the beautiful report from FFXIII vids who spoked about Kingdom Hearts II FM+

It's unknown if rather these are from an interview or something else, but the site says that in an interview Nomura supposedly has said what he wanted to add and will add to JF2007

Like said, these are rumors
- You will play as Riku, and you DO get to fight Zexion
- Sora now has a Christmas Costume as well as the Halloween Costume for transition between "Halloween Town, and Christmas Town"
- Sora vs Roxas will be happening
- Roxas Wristbands will be at JF2006
- Mushroom Type Heartless will be in the game however they will also have a new apperance resembling to that of Organization XIII (Resembling, not looking exactly like)
- Zexion's weapons is said to be revealed at JF2006's trailer.

Oh yeah here's the bad news due to the map location, japanese bloggers believe for it to be in "Closed Theatres"

And to top it all off, here's a Merry Xmas from Square-Enix
