| ===Pre-order goods===
| |
| Depending on what store the game was pre-ordered, customers could get a CD containing tracks from the game or a playing card set adorned with ''Kingdom Hearts'' characters and symbols. Also at some stores in Japan they were giving away a dual Keyblade embroidered necklace with a reserved copy.
| |
| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' Platinum Limited===
| |
| ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' Platinum Limited came in a box containing the game case, a sheet of eight ''Kingdom Hearts'' stickers; a postcard calendar featuring Tetsuya Nomura artwork and-- contained in a CD case-- a block figure of Sora, part of Square's Minimum Collection; and three can badges. The set costs 8,800 yen.
| |
| | |
| ==Changes==
| |
| ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' features changes from the original version, including bosses present in the English version, but not in the original Japanese version. Other changes include recoloring [[Heartless]] and introducing new Heartless, new weapons, new enemies, new abilities, new cutscenes, [[Gummi Ship]] missions, new [[Ansem Report]]s, and a new secret movie.
| |
| | |
| The start screen was replaced with another drawing of Sora, hooded and holding a flag. On the start screen, a trailer for ''Final Fantasy X-2'' is accessible, labeled as a "Special Movie" as a third option after "New Game" and "Load Game". The game has three difficultly levels, the first being Final Mix: Beginner. Final Mix: Beginner gives the player a [[Ribbon]], an [[EXP Chain]], 8 [[Power Up]]s, 8 [[Defense Up|Guard Up]]s and 4 [[AP Up]]s at the start, and neither of the secret movies can be seen. The Drill Gummi's Attack Power is 9,999, instead of 35. The second difficulty is simply "Final Mix", analogous to Standard from the previous game, but not the exact same. The [[Gummi Ship]] takes double the damage from the original version and damage inflicted by the player is cut by a third. The last option is Final Mix: Proud, a greater challenge than Expert from the original game. The Gummi Ship's attack is reduced further to a half, and damage is four times. A "Battle Report" is shown at the end.
| |
| | |
| Another new feature includes an Event Skip option, allowing the player to skip cutscenes already seen. Sora is modified to become transparent when camera situations force.
| |
| | |
| ===Bosses===
| |
|
| |

| |
| The new bosses included "'''[[Xemnas|Unknown]]'''", who was introduced with no context and later revealed to be [[Xemnas]], leader of [[Organization XIII]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Also added were "palette swap" bosses for the [[Olympus Coliseum]]: [[Destroyed Behemoth]], [[Arch Behemoth]], [[Red Armor]], and [[Sneak Army]]. New to the Japanese were bosses included in the English version: [[Sephiroth]], [[Ice Titan]], and [[Kurt Zisa]].

| ==Cutscenes==
| |
| Several new cutscenes were added. The first, shown after [[Sora]] ends up in [[Traverse Town]], has [[Riku]] lost in [[Hollow Bastion]], calling out for his friends and [[Maleficent]] looking on. Another, played after [[Sora]] speaks to [[Kairi]] in the underground waterway in Traverse Town, showed [[Riku]] lost in the [[realm of darkness]] after [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] took his body. There, he is assisted by [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] who reveals that he has the realm's [[Keyblade]]. An optional cutscene was a confrontation between [[Cloud]] and Sephiroth, seen after the player defeats Sephiroth. Cutscenes were provided for [[Xemnas|Unknown]], using spliced voice acting for Sora and Goofy, but shaking text on a black screen for Unknown.
| |
| | |
| A minor cutscene was also added near the start of the game on the second day on Destiny Islands, where it is revealed that the lucky charm Kairi makes out of thalassa shells is the Oathkeeper charm she later gives to Sora.
| |
| | |
| These new cutscenes connect to the story in the Kingdom Hearts Novels more accurately.
