    Kingdom Hearts: chain of memories was orignally supposed to be Kingdom Hearts: Lost Memories

    Kurt Zisa (the secret boss that you fight in agraba from Kh1) is named after a real life person who won a contest

    Bahamut from FF was going to be a summon but was removed for Mushu

    Marluxia was originally intended to be a female Organization Member.

    Luxord is Nomura's favourite Org. Member because of his "glossy" appeal and demeanour.

    Contract Issues with Disney led to Mickey only being allowed to be used in a single scene in the first Kingdom Hearts Game.

    The only reason Tron ever appeared in Kingdom Hearts was because Nomura was on a trip to Disney in th USA and saw someone working on something for Tron and liked it so much that he decided to put it in.

    Maleficent was to be the original main/final boss of KHI. 'Ansem' was an almost literal last-minute addition

    Nice title nonetheless, would make for a good manga.

    I actually was just looking at the KH1 manual and saw the "name in game contest winner Kurt Zisa" in the special thanks section, I completely forgot where I fought him now I remember it's Agrabah.

    Bahamut for Mushu?! Oh come on XD

    Oh how cute...gotta love Marluxia, even if he is pretty feminine.

    I like Luxord too, his weapon being cards is unique, I like his demenor and the way he talks...slickkkk^^

    Good thing those contract issues were resolved for KH2, we all love Mickey, besides he is important to the story since he's the King and all.

    Well I'm glad they added Ansem in instead of Malificent, don't get me wrong, she was a good character to fight as well in the game, but just not as good as a final boss as Ansem was.

    Some more fun facts from me:

    1. Xigbar says during the boss-fight: "Arms, reload!" Though he says it so quickly that many have misheard him saying: "R, reload!" R is used for reloading guns in many Firstshooter-games :P

    2. In FM+ Organization Silhouettes are introduced and explained actually by Demyx. :D

    3. Xemnas´ voiceactor isnt credited by his real name and Xemnas is mentioned pretty low in the cast.

    4. In the japanese version of KH2 after Axel makes his suicide attack he lays on the ground BURNING. In the other versions the flames are oddly removed.

    5. Zexion is the youngest of Ansem the Wise´s apprentices.

    6. Jiminy Cricket travels in Sora´s hair, but is rarely seen outside ;D

    7. Riku calls Sora "stupid" in Kingdom Hearts 1 while they are at Neverland.

    8. You dont need to visit Winnie the Pooh´s world in KH1, but in KH2 Sora is friends with Winnie the Pooh.

    9. In KH2 Captain Barbossa has an Australian accent, while the real actor from the movies is actually Swedish.

    10. Pete´s zipper looks painfully tight wrapping around his entire body.

    11. 'Yen Sid' backwards is 'diSneY'

    12. Zexion is never seen to die.

    13. In original Chain of Memories Vexen is shot by Axel, so Vexen never knew who killed him, but in Re:Chain of Memories Axel introduces himself before he kills Vexen.

    14. Xemnas´ Japanese voiceactor is 65-year-old.

    Poor Xemnas, he was an important character too, I don't know why they would mention him so low in the credits.

    Poor Axel, at least he died HOTT.

    I bet it's because it's warm in there XD

    OMGEEE he said a BAD WORD!

    Clever clever clever, I knew this fact already but it is cool that the name worked out well like that.


    "Goodbye." *snap*

    > A mistake many players make when fighting Clayton is trying to take out Stealth Sneak first, to deal with Clayton later. This’ll only make the boss fight harder, since when Clayton is defeated, you wn the bos fight, wether the Stealth Sneak is still alive or not.

    > Jack Sparrow’s Japanese voice actor, Hiroaki Hirata, seems to have quite a repetation in voicing pirate characters. Aside from Jack Sparrow, he also had a contract for Balthier from Final Fantasy XII and Sanji, the strawhead pirate from the anime ‘One Piece’.

    > Jack Sparrow is, together with Leon and Riku, capable of wielding the Keyblade for a short time before reappearing in Sora’s hands again. It’s obvious with Riku, he was the originally intended Keyblade Master, but why Jack Sparrow and Leon are capable of it is unknown.

    > Auron fights with one arm in Kingdom Hearts II. In Final Fantasy X, he put his arm out of his jacket when fighting.

    > Hewey, Dewey, and Louie are missing the black stripes on their caps.

    -The reason Rikku, Yuna and Paine appear as fairies in Kingdom Hearts II is because Nomura always wanted to take one of his previously made characters and turn them into a form that was "not of a human" and so, the YRP Fairies were put into KH2.

    - Sora's victory poses in the olympus colleseum in kh1 are based off of Cloud, Squall and Zell's victory poses. Tidus Wakka and Selphie have the same victory poses as their games

    - The Pride Lands was originally planned to be in KH1, but it was scrapped coz the games program couldn't handle having the controllable character on 4 legs at the time.


    - Maleficent was brought back in KH II due to popular demands

    - Stitch was a summon in KH II because he is the 2nd faveorite Disney character in Japan.

    - Riku was originally supposed to be the main character of Kingdom Hearts.

    - Roxas was originally an agent working for DiZ and fought againist the Organization.

    - Chicken Little was put into KH2 as a summon to help promote the movie for the Japanese.

    - There is a drawing in the secret place of a Mickey head and an 'M' with a star next to it.

    - Originally the final boss for KH2 was going to be this massive Nobody monster called "King"

    Some more from me:

    1. Vexen believes that an Organization member's number is equivalant to their rank in authority. This assumption is wrong and might be just some wishful thinking concerning a fact that Vexen actually has the lowest throne in the Organization´s meeting place.

    2. Saïx is ranked the second in command though he was only the 7th to join the Organization.

    3. Axel has been thought to be Riku´s nobody disregard the fact that the two look nothing alike.

    4. Zexion´s weapon, Lexicon, has two pictures on its pages. First one features Zexion himself, but the second picture has two unrecognizeable midgets.

    5. Creeper nobodies have no known master-nobodies.

    6. Sora can actually tri-wield keyblades when fighting Roxas in FM+.

    7. Merlin can travel through worlds with ease using magic.

    8. First Kingdom Hearts game had only 4 original characters not including the heartless. These were Sora, Riku, Kairi and Ansem.

    9. Ansem´s anagram is 'names'. Could be due to a fact that the name 'Ansem' is used by several characters in the series: Ansem the Wise, Xehanort´s heartless, Riku...

    10. Lexaeus´ and Vexen´s weapons can be equiped to Donald & Goofy in FM+

    11. Larxene is the only original evil female character, asides from Xion who is still at unknown side.

    12. In the secret ending of FM Xemnas arrives to meet Roxas, but in KH2 the case was the opposite.

    13. Sora has only cried for Riku, but not Kairi. Furthermore Sora doesnt show much emotion with Kairi. This encourages the Soriku fans ;D

    14. In Re:CoM Larxene grabs Axel´s chin.

    15. In the japanese version of KH2 Sora actually swears to KILL the Organization, not aknowledging the inviduals might be at his side.

    Only because Axel is best friends to Roxas like Sora is best friends to Riku.

    Never thought of that before, a good thought, although, at first, I did get confused with the many names of Ansem.

    Soriku? *shot* What will they think of next?

    Nononono Axel is mineeee, I actually stomped my foot at that scene in Re:CoM

    Death Threat? Better get out the Death Note *gets out Death Note* XD

    -Originally, Wakka was not intended to be in Kingdom Hearts, his role was supposed to be filled by Final Fantasy 8's Irvine

    - Disney Castle was originally gonna be playable in the first KH

    - When the heartless first appear on DI in KH1, trying to hit them with the wooden sword has no effect at all. However, when Sora uses it in Hollow Bastion, it does.

    - Despite Trickmaster appearing to be one of the largest Heartless Sora fought, in reality he was roughly the size of Donald Duck; Sora battled him while they were small.

    - When Sora and company arrive in Port Royle, they say that the world feels kinda different. This is a joke pointing out that everything in it is more real, being based on a live action movie

    - Larxene's voice actor does the Wendy's commercials

    LOL! :D

    Here is some more from me:

    1. Marluxia and Xemnas both have only the number '1' in their ranks, this might be due to the fact the both are leaders.

    2. Only Organization Member in CoM who didnt betray someone was Lexaeus. Marluxia, Zexion & Larxene betraying Xemnas, Axel & Vexen betraying Marluxia.

    3. Diz has darker skin than Ansem the Wise. At the moment when DiZ removes his mask in KH2, a tan smoke can be seen to leave his face.

    4. There´s a funny irony with Xemnas saying to AtW: "Only a fool would be your apprentice", due to the fact that Xemnas was one of AtW´s apprentices.

    5. Roxas is never physically in a real world during the timeline of KH2.

    6. Terra never seems to care about the 'Dark Soldier' in the secret ending of FM+, but the 'Dark Soldier' attacks Terra two times damaging his armor. Furthermore Aqua never hits anything with her keyblade.

    7. 'Xemnas' anagram is 'manseX'

    8. Vexen is the only Organization member in CoM who fought both Sora and Riku.

    9. Riku says nothing to Kairi during the whole timeline of KH2 except for the line "Take this." when giving Kairi a keyblade. ;D

    10. Xemnas obviously has the power to turn Organization members into a lesser nobodies due to the fact that he forced Axel to kill Roxas by threatening him and due to Axel saying Roxas later from that: "Sure, but Im not going to be turned into a dusk for.."

    11. In the original KH2 Xaldin is never seen talking to any of the other organization members.

    12. Demyx´ laughter is the loudest when the whole remaining Organization laughs at Sora, but this is weird when Demyx is most obviously the most coward of the Organization :)

    13. Larxene was never seen hooded, but her concept art has the hooded one.

    14. Lexaues seems to be Xigbar´s minion due to the fact that Xigbar actually put his duty to be done by Lexaeus. ;D

    15. Lexaeus is titled 'Silent Hero' for a totally unknown reason

    It is actually TRUE, you know..

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0906696/

    Check out his latest assignment. It´s for the 358/2 Days :P

    He was born in 18 October 1945. I believe it was his voice lend to Master Xehanort in KH:BbS trailer. Master Xehanort appears something like 65-year-old, so this could be true.

    p.s.
    Woah.. Just realized that he is the japanese voiceactor of Cell in the games and series of Dragonball Z/GT :o

    With me, I had 4/5 hours on the Xigbar, whilst killing xemnas in one go...

    so for me - Xigbar was most hard (issat his name maybe?)

    btw- [cool, xemnas is yoshimitsu in SC ^^]

    Anyone got SC IV ? (i know it's a side-question, so get lost)

    Some more fun facts from me:

    1. None of the Organization Cloaked characters possess anything what you can call a butt :D

    2. Vexen is the tallest of the Organization while Jiminy Cricket´s nobody is obviously the shortest LOL forget what I just said :P psssst, he lives in roxas hair :>

    3. Sephiroth´s sword is longer in KH´s than in the FFVII´s.

    4. Demyx is the only Organization member to NOT mention Sora´s name.

    5. Sora has blue eyes, Riku has green-blue eyes, Kairi has purple-blue eyes. Then again Xehanort has brown eyes, Xemnas has brown-orange eyes and Ansem has orange eyes.

    6. Both the smallest and largest weapons in the Organization are Luxord´s cards xD

    7. While living at Hollow Bastion, Maleficent had given Riku his own room to live in. This is stated in Re:CoM R/R..

    8. Vexen needs only fight the person he wants to replicate long enough, though the actual process of making the replica is still unclear.

    9. Only nobody to have not expressed any emotion on his face is Saïx.

    10. Nobodies who have made tears: Namine, Axel.

    15. Sora basically cuts Roxas in half with the Keyblade. Ouch...

    16. Riku never cried.

    17. Maybe size DOES matter, since all of the most powerful keyblades are also the largest ones.

    18. Roxas forehair in secret ending is bent left while the final Roxas´ forehair is bent to right. They say that forehair bent to right means GAY lol.. :P

    19. There is an irony with Repliku calling Riku a liar, when Riku says he doesnt fear the dark. Repliku says he fears nothing, but when he dies he fears what happens to his heart.

    20. Axel is a ***** in CoM..
