The story of Kingdom Hearts II starts directly after the events of Chain of Memories and features a new playable character, Roxas, for its tutorial levels, focusing the story on Roxas's quest to discover who he is and where he comes from. After the tutorial, the player is put back in control of Sora as they learn about a new threat, the Nobodies. These creatures are the empty bodies of those who have been turned into Heartless. Those who are especially strong willed keep their human form and have formed their own ruling body called Organization XIII. Throughout the game Sora and company run into many different notable Disney and Final Fantasy characters in their quest to find Kairi and Riku, defeat the Heartless and find out the truth about Organization XIII, which ultimately ends in a final confrontation with the Organization's leader.
Like the original Kingdom Hearts, this game is an action RPG relying heavily on button mashing to create combos in order to defeat the numerous enemies surrounding you. Kingdom Hearts II adds the usage of the triangle button in order to perform finishing combos on enemies. Magic is still a major factor in combat and Limits with another party member have been added. Also new to the series are Drives, which allow Sora to merge with one or more party members to gain additional abilties and increased strength, magic, or both. Leveling still induces stat increases and the learning of new abilties and the use of armor, accessories and item synthesis have been more pronoun ced with the Moogle shops in each world. Minigames are also more numerous with skateboarding among other challenges.

Final Form
Requires 5 drive points
Changes

Final Form gains one experience point for every Nobody Sora kills in this form. As Final form levels up Sora gains the ability to glide outside of using Final form. Sora can learn Final Form after the encounter with Roxas in The World That Never Was. After that even Sora has a chance of going into Final Form every time he uses a drive form.
Another form, called Anti-form Sora. Anti-form Sora is Sora's Heartless Drive and appears based on a hidden counter that increases as you use forms. The counter starts at zero and goes up by one every time Sora changes form and does not go into Anti Form. The counter goes down by ten every time he does and is reset to zero every time he learns a new form. Going into Final Form decreases the counter by ten. The higher the counter is the greater the chance Sora has of going to Anti Form. The counter is temporarily multiplied during certain boss fights and greatly increases when fighting a member of the Organization.
Anti Form
Changes
Pros
Cons
Summons
Like in Kingdom Hearts, Sora may summon Disney characters to aid him in battle. In Kingdom Hearts II there are four summons, two less then the original Kingdom Hearts. Only Genie returns as a summon from the first Kingdom Hearts, however Tinker Bell accompanies Peter Pan who is a summon in Kingdom Hearts II. As for the rest, Mushu and Simba are now characters on other worlds (while Simba is actually a party member in the Pride Lands) and Bambie and Dumbo are nowhere to be found. As summons use the Drive Gauge instead of the Magic in this game, Sora cannot change forms and summon at the same time. The summon will replace the two party members in battle with Sora. If Sora is by himself or with only one Party member he can not summon (unless in certain Underdrome tournaments). Instead of the summoned character being limited to only one action, the summoned characters now have a menu of multiple actions, some solo and some cooperative with Sora.
Peter Pan is the main protagonist for Neverland. Peter comes with Tinker Bell, who was a summon by herself in the first Kingdom Hearts, while Peter was a temporary party member, and flies around attacking with a dagger, as he did in the first game. Tinker Bell constantly heals Sora at the same time, which she also did as a lone summon. Also, Tinker Bell will revive Sora once in battle if all his health is lost. His team attack with Sora is cinematic, as Sora will be reminded of his adventures in Neverland in the first game (with pictures floating across the screen) while Pan and Sora fly around hitting anything in their path.
