Edit: (July 14, 2008 ) A fourth insider source has also confirmed it. =) We may finally have some truth!

Edit: (July 13, 2008 ) Despite the fact that some other Kingdom Hearts Sites are preferring to play this news down, we now have a third Neogaf Confirmation from Dragona Akehi. Hopefully it is all of Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ and not just Re: Chain of Memories. =) Thanks for sticking with us!

Edit: Neogaf's Duckroll is also confirming this to be true. Because of various confirmations, KHInsider is lead to believe that Re: Chain of Memories will indeed be released in North America. However, we are not yet fully sure if it will be with Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+. Stay tuned. =)

Very very odd and surprising news. Do not take it as confirmed yet!. However, it has been going around the blogosphere that Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories is indeed coming out for North America (without Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix?). The following statement was released on the website WithTheWill: I've confirmed this with MULTIPLE people.

I don't know if it's the full Final Mix+, or just Re:COM...

But we are getting Re:Chains Of Memories in the USA.

I've even been told the character artwork they are showing is the generic 'CGI Pose' of the Organization members that are up at damn near EVERY Kingdom Hearts fansite.

Square (or Disney, not sure), have been auditioning TONS of people for the last few weeks for voices of Organization XIII members (Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Marluxia, and Larxene) saying the game is 'Chains of Memories'.

The casting people/paperwork are/is specifically calling it 'Kingdom Hearts Chains of Memories' and are SPECIFICALLY casting the 5 Organization members that I named in the article, all of whom were in CoM and don't have cast English voice actors (outside of those 5 I don't know if anyone else is being cast in any fashion, although I THINK those were the only 5 characters who are in CoM who don't already have English actors from KH/KH2).

So while it is possible they are being cast for 358/2 Days, the 'name' being told to people in the auditions is specifically CoM, I've reconfirmed that specific fact with quite a few people who auditioned and it has been consistent between them all.

This was followed by a post from Neogaf Member: Aeana, known for her insider information, with: "This is not untrue."

For those that do not know, Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories is a remake of Chain of Memories for the Playstation 2, included with Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+.

While we're waiting for the major gaming events to happen, here's whats up in the Kingdom Hearts merchandise department.

CUSTOMIZED KINGDOM HEARTS FIGURES

The August issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine contained an article featuring artists who do customization work to figurines. Among them, the talented Mike Amos had two Kingdom Hearts customizations highlighted. You can view the Sora figure Soruto by clicking the images.

The Soruto figure is an obvious mix of popular anime character Naruto and Kingdom Hearts hero, Sora. The figure looks like a drive form, complete with custom Keyblade! He also has done a customization on a Cloud figurine, recreating his look from Kingdom Hearts. For more information on his work, please visit his website.
