True, yet ironic since it was, what? 5 years between KH1 and 2?
And, yes, I do realize they probably weren't thinking they were gonna make a sequel when they released KH1. (I may be corrected, though)
May I use my first post to correct you?
Ok, at the end after the credits they had Sora, Donald, and Goofy finding pluto with a letter from the king.
And a letter from the king is what started Donald, and Goofy on their journey in the first place.
So, they implied that their would be a squeal.
And I don't know which one but both of the secret movies basically said they were planning on a squeal.(so at least they were working on the story line)
THough one of the reasons it took them so long for the second they were doing work on the KH engine, and than decided to scrap that and make a new engine for it.(According to disney adventure magazine)
On Topic: Like everyone else said they did the "plot hole" so you would have everything you encountered in the game in your journal.
