Kingdom Hearts Final Mix

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix is an expansion, or special edition of the original game Kingdom Hearts by Square and Disney that was only to be released in Japan. In this version there are extras, such as "The Showdown Of Fate". There are also additional bosses, battles, weapons, and skills using magic. The frequent question by KH fans is why did Japan get final mix, and not North America or Europe? It is suposedly to compensate for the fact that the original Japanese Kingdom Hearts didn't have certain features that the other versions did. The following information from http://kingdomhearts.rpgplanet.gamespy.com/kingdomhearts1/finalmix.shtml shares some frequently asked questions, as well as extra features of KH Final Mix:

Warning: Spoilers Follow -New Bosses, including the US-only bosses like Sephiroth and Phantom. Plus, you will get to fight one of the cloaked figures seen in the Kingdom Hearts II screenshots. -New Heartless, such as the Neo Shadow, who are much like a Shadow Heartless but with a longer reach. They can also be seen in the Kingdom Hearts Secret Trailer and Kingdom Hearts II screenshots. -Extended Plot, including a cut-scene between Cloud and Sephiroth [the fight known as "The Showdown of Fate"] and the meaning of Kairi's presence at Destiny Islands.
