Editing Port Royal

 

In the NTSC and PAL version of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' some cutscenes have been edited, such as Will not aiming a gun to his head when he is threatening to commit suicide and [[Barbossa]]'s sword is removed from Jack's chest. The medallion that Barbossa first uses to attempt to break the curse is only shown coated in blood in the respective scene, and is afterward untainted (in the original, the blood remains throughout the escapade.) Also, Barbossa's monologue with Elizabeth on the Black Pearl is edited to omit the mention of lust and women (however, the replacement, which talks of "pleasurable company" is actually the line as it appears in the original film). Gameplay wise, undead pirates do not catch fire, however, the Grim Reaper Heartless still does. The Rifle Pirates' muskets have been changed to crossbows, even though they still retain the original sound effect of a rifle shot. All of these changes carry over into the ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' build of the game. Strangely, the scene where Barbossa takes a drink from his wine bottle is kept in both versions, but this is the reason why the American version of the game is rated E+10 for alcohol use.

Port Royal is divided into three main areas: the actual town of Port Royal, the cursed Isla de Muerta, and the Ship Graveyard. Traveling between locations centers around {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Interceptor}}'''|インターセプター号|Intāseputā-gō}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Black Pearl}}'''|ブラックパール号|Burakku Pāru-gō}}, and from the Gummi Ship, Sora can only land at the location where the ships are docked. Both ships can be attacked by pirates or monsters en route, but when he needs to escape, Sora can usually retreat inside the ship where enemies will not follow. These areas, the Interceptor's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ship's Hold}}'''|船倉|Sen-sō|lit. "Hold"}} and The Black Pearl's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Captain's Stateroom}}'''|船長室|Senchō-shitsu|lit. "Captain's Cabin"}}, contain save points to quicken healing.

While fighting Barbossa, Sora and Jack must travel to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Isla de Muerta}}'''|死の島|Shi no Shima|lit. "Island of the Dead"}}, "an island that can not be found, except by those who already know where it is." Sailing the Interceptor, Sora's group first lands at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Rock Face}}'''|岸壁|Ganpeki}}, an outcropping that leads to the inner caves. From the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cave Mouth}}'''|洞窟入口|Dōkutsu Iriguchi|lit. "Cave Entrance"}}, Sora accesses the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Powder Store}}'''|火薬置場|Kayaku Okiba|lit. "Powder Yard"}}, where pirates wait in ambush behind explosive gunpowder crates. Sora must detonate these crates to create paths for the precious moonlight. Next is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Moonlight Nook}}'''|月明かりの間|Tsukiakari no Ma|lit. "Chamber of Moonlight"}}, a small area that serves as a perfect battleground due to the abundance of moonlight, making it easy to defeat pirates. The last area of Isla de Muerta is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Treasure Heap}}'''|宝の山|Takara no Yama|lit. "Treasure Mountain"}}, a cave where the pirates store all the treasure they have obtained within the years of their curse. In the center of the Treasure Heap is the stone chest containing the 882 cursed gold coins, where Sora and Jack have their final duel with Barbossa.

!Area Map in ''Kingdom Hearts II''

[[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive at Port Royal and notice something different about this world (being that the world and its citizens are based on a live action film, instead of cartoons). They find [[Pete]] talking to Captain Barbossa and fight his pirates. However, Sora and co's efforts are proven unsuccessful, as Pete hints that the pirates are vulnerable to the group's [[magic]] and moonlight. After defeating the pirates, Sora and company meet [[William Turner]]. He tells them that the Governor's daughter, [[Elizabeth Swann]], was kidnapped by Barbossa. After watching them sail away, they meet [[Jack Sparrow]] who agrees to join them to rescue Elizabeth. He only agrees so he can hear Will's name and get back his ship, the ''Black Pearl''.  

Afterward, everyone heads back to the ''Black Pearl'' and Jack's compass glows. Sora uses it to unlock another [[Gate]] to two worlds to explore, [[Agrabah]], and [[Halloween Town]].  

He recovers enough to tell them that a man in a [[black coat]] and white creatures stole the chest. Then [[Luxord]], an [[Organization XIII]] member, invades the ship and uses the [[Grim Reaper]] [[Heartless]] to attack the crew. They defeat it, but Luxord takes four Cursed Medallions and gives them to four [[Gambler]] [[Nobody|Nobodies]]. The Grim Reaper Heartless reappears and blows Sora, Donald, Goofy and Jack onto the ''Interceptor''. Luxord then fires at Interceptor with the Black Pearl's cannons.  

When Sora wakes up, he finds that Jack has been cursed and is now undead. After defeating a Gambler Nobody, they receive a [[Cursed Medallion]]. They travel around Port Royal and find three more Gambler Nobodies hidden around the Ship Graveyard and Isla de Muerta and steal the medallion each one holds. Once this is done, the trio plus Jack return to Port Royal and return the medallions, but Jack is still cursed. Goofy says that Jack was cursed by the Heartless, not because of the medallions.

To battle the Grim Reaper, Sora has to collect all 882 medallions and return them to the chest before being able to injure the Grim Reaper. After the battle, Luxord commends Sora on his defeat and takes the [[heart]] from the Grim Reaper Heartless. Jack is freed from the curse and knows of a way so the medallions will not be able to be used for evil again.
