History Trivia / KingdomHeartsII

** Pete is given the nickname [[HellFireCommentaries Captain Ass-Zipper]], due to, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin look!]]

** Play the game in Japanese, and you'll notice that Tron sounds a lot like [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Professor Sycamore]]. That's because they are both voiced by HiroshiTsuchida.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: "Sea Salt Ice Cream". A lot of people in North America and Europe thought that it wouldn't possibly exist because the salt would lower the freezing point of the water, preventing the ice cream from solidifying. Or just that nobody would think salty ice cream would be good anyway. Actually, it's sold at Tokyo Disneysea - and has been before Kingdom Hearts 2.

* FanNickname: Before his name was revealed, fans took to calling Roxas the Blond-Haired Kid (BHK).
** To those trying to guess the plot of the sequel from the trailer, Roxas was often called Dual-Wielding Unknown, while Riku was called Blindfolded Unknown.

** ChipCheezum and friends popularized "Dogstreet" for Pence, named after the writing on his shirt.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Once you hear [[Creator/CamClarke Adult Simba]] talk, you're never going to get [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Liquid]] [[MetalGearSolid2 out of your mind...]]
** As soon as you hear Pence, [[FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends no doubt about it, but you'll start thinking of a sweet little eight-year-old boy with a jerk of an imaginary friend]].
** Creator/CoreyBurton provided [[Film/{{Tron}} Sark's]] voice because Creator/DavidWarner, his original actor, was unavailable at the time. Burton previously voiced Shockwave in ''{{Transformers}}'', whose voice was inspired by Warner's performance as Sark.

** Xigbar had also appeared on the TV Show ''StillStanding''.

* TalkingToHimself: In the Japanese version, DonaldDuck, Genie and Stitch are voiced by the same seiyuu.

** Alternate final boss forms for Xemnas that feature him apparently breaking up and surrounding himself with chunks of the Dark City, [[http://images.wikia.com/kingdomhearts/images/4/49/King.jpg "King" and "Centaur",]] were conceptualized.

** Variations on the Behemoth and Wyvern Heartless were present in the 1000 Heartless battle in older trailers.

** Believe it or not, [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} Randall]] appears as Demyx.

** Judging from the early trailers, they were planning on making the outside walls (i.e. the areas covered in the first game) of the Hallow Bastion castle playable.

** David Warner did not reprise his roles as the MCP and Sark because he had already committed to another role when he was asked and was unable to do both.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: "Sea Salt Ice Cream". A lot of people in North America and Europe thought that it wouldn't possibly exist because the salt would lower the temperature of the water, therefore making it too cold to freeze. Or just that nobody would think salty ice cream would be good anyways. Actually, it's sold in Tokyo Disneysea - and has been before Kingdom Hearts 2.
