Square-Enix has launched their version of the Kingdom Hearts II Official Site. At the moment, the site contains information on the game's storyline, characters, and two of the game's worlds. Downloadable content is also available on the site.

The Character Section (Second Link) features bios on our three main characters, Sora, Goofy, and Donald, as well as some demo footage of in-game movements and a few pieces of artwork. The Worlds Section (Third Link) features info and a little bit of backstory on the world's of Mulan and Hercules, and the Downloads Section (Fifth Link) features a new wallpaper available in three different sizes. The Final Link contains system information and specifications. Also contained in the Final Link is a new trailer.

The trailer (Available to view in the last link under PV) starts with a small scene of Namine and the recently revealed playable Blonde Haired Kid. The focus then switches to Sora visiting various worlds, including a confirmation on the return of Aladdin to the series, as well as the world's of Hercules, Mulan, and Halloween Town. A few other interesting notes are also revealed to say the least. We also get a few scenes of Sora in action as well as in his Overdrive Mode.
