Best cover of any of the ReMIX's.
that more that nomra art we love to look at
I freaking love that cover, easily my favorite out of the remixes. Dam.
We're being spoiled rotten guys, this is too much for me lol
IMO this is the best cover out of all the HD remixes. Its not too cluttered and spaced nicely, the colors are gorgeous and everyone looks great!
And will make that my avatar, also cool to see Axel/Lea on s cover again
Love how ripped Riku is on the cover compared to his other appearances on covers, lol. Other than that, this cover is definitely the best of the bunch. It's fantastic.
That's just... amazing. I love it. I'm so so happy we got Nomura art. Aqua looks gorgeous and the composition is so much better than in the previous remixes. I'm happy. Good times.
anybody notice 3d stuff is parody of xv where notic and his friends are behind him
Actually, I have one small nitpick with this cover. What's up with Goofy's feet? They look hella oddly placed
Said it in the last thread I like this cover art best. Donald and Goofy don't pull off the Suicide Squad moment so well but the sky and the colors and oh look Nomura artwork of the Foretellers.
Still.
Needs more Kairi.
She's in the trailer.

.......................
o.O
I wouldn't call it a parody but yeah. Weird that he's still doing that but I guess that pose was his decision at the time.
GUYS PLEASE MY BRAIN AT 4:45 AM CAN'T TAKE ALL THIS HYPE
But god this box art is gorgeous. Definitely the best of the HD remixes. Love that the blue to pink sky from the unchained x art is being used here cause it just looks so darn pretty <3
Hold up, where's Chirithy at? aside that, I'm more than happy with what I see! Best ReMix cover to date! :)
Hold up, where's Chirithy at?
You know who else isn't on this cover. Ventus. /RIP Dandelion theory
I'm betting every single portrait on here will be released as a "2.8 Ill. Version" in Unchained S2.

Ventus not being here neither confirms or denies Ventus as a Dandelion. Plus, Ephemer and Skuld are not on this cover either so we can't really make a definitive conclusion of Ventus involvement in X just yet.
That's fucking sexy af omggggg
Woah, just woah. The other covers are nice, but they never really impressed me. But this one... just woah. This one easily takes the cake. Damn, if Nomura is going to make the covers better, just imagine what KH3's cover will look like.
Hold up, where's Chirithy at? aside that, I'm more than happy with what I see! Best ReMix cover to date! :)
Yeah, that is weird. Chirithy has been seen alongside Master Ava in the previous trailer, so I kinda expected Chirithy to be with Master Ava. Or Master Ava would hold Chirithy like Skuld did in the 3rd Anniversary Key Art.
You know, the human brain can only handle a certain amount of hype before it swells up and causes serious damage or death. I'd tone this crap down because we are reaching some critical levels here

Yeah, gosoxtim mentioned this on the first page.
So this Boxart Art is nice and stuff. But when do they reveal that special edition? Like they did with 1.5 and 2.5. A stuffed animal, a pin, a artbook, the game, a cd. All in a big box.
And, do they ever release collector edition game consoles of Kingdom Hearts? What's the chance of getting a Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Collectors Edition PS4?

I recall DDD and BBS Bundles, but other than that?
I think they're more likely to release a KH3 themed PS4

So they have released KH themed consoles? Neat. What do you think the chance is for a 2.8 themed PS4? Wouldn't mind a KH3 themed PS4. But if I'm going to buy a PS4 mainly to play Kingdom Hearts, might as well make it a themed one.

Dunno about overseas, but yeah they did themed consoled before. Like I said, I don't think they'd release a 2.8 PS4, I'd rather say they'll do one for KH3 and I kinda can't see both.

Not sure, never really looked for them. Anywayz, I can always hope (I will stop derailing this thread for now).
Wonderful. Much brighter than I expected and I love it. Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, and Lea look awesome, even if poor Donald and Goofy are way too prominent than they actually are, the poor dears.

I agree with this thought. I doubt both games will get a themed PS4 Pro. I'm tempted to get a PS4 Pro to fully utilize 2.8 with it but I feel like there's a good chance KH3 will have a themed PS4 Pro so I'll wait for that one.
Wow, this boxart is beautiful. Much better than the 2 ReMIX covers. My only criticism would be that Goofy looks inflatable.

I kinda think they don't fit on the cover thaat much, but as long as Lea is on it equally, I think it's okay. They DID burst in near the end as well, too.

Yeah, but then you would have to wait a whole year.

It's probably mostly an option for people who already own a regular PS4. I wouldn't get a PS4Pro if it weren't a KH3- or FFVII-themed one anyways, though.
Eh, it's alright. It'd be better if they zoomed in a bit. Lots of empty space, and you can barely see the title.
Great poster material, not so much for a boxart.

Hmm... I never looked at it that way. I usually just one version of the console and stick with it. Even when they release new version, I've never bought them.
| Eh, it's alright. It'd be better if they zoomed in a bit. Lots of empty space, and you can barely see the title. Great poster material, not so much for a boxart. |
I agree with you here. The logo is too small. On other news, hype must be blinding me, I just barely noticed that MoM and Luxu are on the cover...! 0_0
I agree that the logo should be a little bigger. I don't mind the empty space though.
It's so nice to see the Foretellers get the Nomura treatment. They look so good ;~;
I love this cover! It's so much better then the Remix ones.
I can't help but laugh a little seeing Sora and the gang dramatically walking away from Org. XIII's meeting room.
Donald and Goofy look badass in this. How the heck did you pull that off, Nomura?!
The art really speaks for itself this time.
Okay, I don't get the problem with the "empty space".
People first say "ohhh it's too much!" and when we have a cover that isn't filled with 80 characters it's "so empty".
Sorry for this little rant
I need poster of this! I already have the poster for 2.5 in my room, but no 1.5 poster. Was there ever a 1.5 poster? Only got 2.5 from gamestop for that rewards thing.
This is alright. Somehow doesn't connect with me much.

Yes, 1.5 had at least a wallscroll, too. I think I've got both 1.5 and 2.5 but I'm not sure. Def. gonna get that if they sell it at Gamescom 2017.
Much improved over 2.5's boxart. Not a mess, and at least Kairi and Namine's absence makes sense here. Which is still sad to say, but yeah.

They were sold at events and also in the Square Enix online shop.
I don't know if it will definitely get a poster, but I think it will.

Hrm... we don't have many events here. Guess I will have to go for the online shop.
I think we will probably get one too. If the first two got one, why not this one too?
This box art is awesome. Can I get an amen?
Nomura delivered. ;~; I was so worried because 2.5's was so bleh so <3 <3 <3 <3
dat FFXV shade, tho
I AM SO IN LOVE
You can tell Nomura actually enjoyed making this one. ;___; He must be so excited that new KH content is being made. Bless.
Updated with HQ boxart

There's not a single bad thing about this cover. Thank you Sign! ;__;
This is the best KH box art we've had in a long time & considering Lea's on the cover makes me so diddlying happy

So far all KH-exclusive consoles have been for the handheld consoles. GBA SP (CoM), DSi (358/2 Days), PSP (Bbs), and 3DS (3D). If they ever plan on making a KH home console-exclusive, as others have already said, I expect it to be for KH3 since that's a momentous occasion in KH's history. 2.8, while an exciting game, doesn't carry that weight.
dat FFXV shade, tho
The oddest thing is that Nomura clearly went out of his way to shade FFXV. Ideally Sora and Riku should be on equal footing and DG shouldn't be there (since their role in 3D is minimal) and yet...THERE THEY ARE! Nomura, intentionally making covers that don't represent the game accurately, all in the purpose of shade.

Beautiful cover, but I wouldn't have minded a cover of just Aqua like the FFXIII cover art. That art of her is too gorgeous!
Sorry I'm late!
Boxart looks so beautiful!!! ;A;
I'm worried that KHIII's boxart won't top II.8's... :'( It's just so... perfect. And personally, there isn't much empty space.
I love Sora and Riku's smiles ;___;

TY for the big art, Sign <3
And yes <3 They look so happy <3
precious happy children + mamo double meaning <3

I mean it could be shade or a really big in-joke with Tabata...
But yeah. He totally did it on purpose with the clear intent to poke at FFXV xD
I just envision him devilishly smiling as he copied the XV poses.

Didn't Nomura say that KH and FFXV were like his babies? xD
I believe he did at one point, actually.
Personally, I think the similarities (or the copying rather) is less throwing shade, and more referencing to his own work on the title.
Didn't Nomura say that KH and FFXV were like his babies? xD
FFXV seems his like estranged son now.
FFXV seems his like estranged son now.
I imagine XV like the son that was forcibly taken away and left with a new fanily who isn't completely sure what to do with him
also reminds me of when tabata said he didn't like noctis and had to imagine him as a child in order to develop him
This is best boxart I've seen Kingdom heart so far
If you guys turn this boxart into an iphone wallpaper I'll love you forever
I do anyway but i will with extra hearts
Hold up, where's Chirithy at? aside that, I'm more than happy with what I see! Best ReMix cover to date! :)
Same could be said about where is Ephemera and Skuld?
Much improved over 2.5's boxart. Not a mess, and at least Kairi and Namine's absence makes sense here. Which is still sad to say, but yeah.
But Kairi's in 0.2?
And apparently Naminé talking to Terra somehow connects to it?
I mean, tbh, I do get why they're probably not on the cover. But Kairi (the real Kairi) is actually in 0.2, unlike some of the other games that she wasn't in them and therefore wasn't on their covers of for that very reason.
I love Sora and Riku's smiles ;___;
especially in contrast with the XV pic
You know, I thought that at first, too. But now after staring at the picture for forever, I almost feel like Sora's faking the smile some? (And some people have likewise argued that his grin at the very end of DDD is also being faked, when you compare it to some of his other ones.) Can anyone see that at all, or am I just going crazy from sleep deprivation?
Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, and Lea look awesome, even if poor Donald and Goofy are way too prominent than they actually are, the poor dears.
Unless 0.2 starts the beginnings of whatever epic story SDG will be going on in KHIII, to justify Donald and Goofy being on the cover more. I could see that happening, maybe. From what Nomura said in an interview earlier, it does sound like Sora's going to go to a certain destination at the end of it (or something), and for that reason he thought people might be confused about where Sora is--and why he's doing certain things--at the beginning of III, if they don't play 0.2 first.
...
Anyway, I'd like to thank all of you at KHInsider for the awesome job that you did today. I can't express my gratitude to you guys for your dedication enough. You're the best.<3
Now, may you all get some good night's sleep! ^_^

Definitely reading too much into it. It's just a smile.

But neither of them have that big of a role. Nomura's (really emotional and sweet) addition of Namine and Terra's convo makes no sense in the overall canon.

I'm gonna go with sleep deprivation because their smiles look confident and cocky, as if to say the boys are back. Sora's smile not being wide only enhances the sense of him growing into a more mature character.
His KH3D one didn't seem faked. It came off as wise, as if he gained something valuable from his experiences. He was childish and ignorant, and now the truth was made apparent to him after falling into the trap of Darkness. Now he's determined to do what it takes to save the people who need him but not rush without thinking just because he's survived other obstacles before.

Just looking at the DDD box art part and my mind was playing "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n Roses.
So far all KH-exclusive consoles have been for the handheld consoles. GBA SP (CoM), DSi (358/2 Days), PSP (Bbs), and 3DS (3D).

Very nice of you to list them all for me. But why didn't the home consoles ever get a KH-exclusive? The "main" games are on the PS2 after all. Wait, following that logic, wouldn't it make more sense to get a exclusive for 2.8 instead of KH3. Because KH3 is a "main" game. Even if KH3 carries more weight.
But is making a home console exclusive harder or more expensive?

Nintendo seemed to go out of their way to make those exclusive consoles possible. Sony would need to initiate that sort of deal.
KH3 seems like the logical choice for a bundle, though, if not for its immeasurable hype behind it but also because it'd make for a great 15th anniversary thing.

Right, two different companies. Why did Nintendo want that though? Also I thought Square would be the one to initiate it.
By far the best Remix cover. To me, this one flows better. Another character would be best next to Aqua and Mickey, but Nomura must have some secrets you know ;)
I'm not going to lie, I think this is my favorite boxart yet for the entire series. It's like it's just finally a giant culmination of everything has come together for the very end. Honestly KH3 will have a tough cover to follow up on.
Wow, very much behind this artwork. I don't remember the last time I saw (and liked the result of) Nomura playing with perspective, at least in the DDD HD segment. Looks like he really created something special. Might be my favorite of all the HD releases.
FFXV seems his like estranged son now.
D'aww... D:

Like I said in the last page: I'm worried KH3 won't top this awesome covert art :< I also suggested it in another thread to be much like Dissidia's reversible cover with the heroes and villains, only that KH's will be with the Seekers and Guardians.
I did not know where to put this, but since this thread already showcases Nomura´s art, maybe this does. Nomura did a sketch to celebrate KH2.8:
Gahh, I need a bigger version of that 2.8 image! I want to see it in all of it`s glory.

My God I sincerely hope that a full res picture of this artwork but without any of the text/logo gets released, or at least someone scans one eventually. I have 1.5 and 2.5 posters without the logos up in my room and I of course need 2.8 to go alongside them. That super HQ box art image Sign posted just made me crave it even more.

Yeah, I hope so too. I was sad when there was the vote thing for the best Playstation games awhile back and KH was there too, so Nomura did a pretty cool sketch of Sora and there is only a little screenshot of that image. It does not do it justice.
Yeah, the 2.8 box cover is so nice. It warms my heart to see that there are still people who do hand drawn art covers. There is never enough Nomura drawn Aqua art, or Nomura drawn art in general.

For a moment I thought Nomura sketched two Aquas, and it's really Riku behind her, haha. But these are good. Thanks for sharing! :3
Boy, Nomura's been killing it with these front covers. The front covers for these HD remasters have been some of my favorite in the whole series. (KH1's still being my favorite, but 2.5 is a close second and 2.8 is probably at number 3)

Aqua and Riku look too much alike without color. XD
I think they have the same hairstyle. Look at them closely. There's only a veeery minimal difference. Rather, they had a similar hairdo, seeing as how Riku is back to his long hair.

You can also compare Aqua's lips to Riku's. Riku's are thinner than Aqua's.
It's okay Ballad. We know. They're just saying that they looked really similar at first glance, which I agree with.

I am hoping we might get more group pictures with KH's own characters.
Relaiting to 0.2, I wonder if it will have it's own main menu screen artwork? I liked how past games like KH1 and 2 had their own Nomura drawn artwork as the menu, but now days it looks like they have been using the box art instead. I would love if 0.2 would be Aqua in the Dark Margin, making it a parallel how in the vanilla versions of KH1 and 2 it was Sora on a beach.

I hope so, I love the menu pics in KH1 and 2. I'm sure KH3 will get a different artwork for it, but since 0.2 is the prologue and all, I hope it will too.
I wonder which version of Dearly Beloved 0.2 will use. Probably BBS? No way it would get it's own.

I mean, if it's getting its own fully animated CGI opening from Visual Works with a new custom-made simple and clean remix, I don't see why it wouldn't get a quick arrangement of dearly beloved.

Okay, that's true. I think the new remix is for 2.8 as a whole, but they did put a lot of effort into the 0.2 opening visuals, and just the fact that we got a new theme song anyway does make it very possible that we get new Dearly Beloved too. I don't want to get my hopes up but it might just happen. It's not a big deal I guess but it always makes me super excited to get a new version, everytime you hear one, you know you've got a new KH game to play :D

How did you know that the CGI openings for Kingdom Hearts are by Visual Works? I thought that it was done by Square Enix internally?

Visual Works IS their internal CG movie/visual team. Why do you think people praise Visual Works and SE all of the time lol

I have never known that Square Enix had a distinct CG department called Visual Works until now. Heck, I never heard that there was a company that existed until it was mentioned in this topic.

We know everything here. xD

No kidding, you learn new stuff here every day haha
I think it`s pretty nice that despite 0.2 being a small title in a way, folks at Square still decided to create a new cinematic opening for this title, and even make a remix of one of the older songs with a fitting message incorporated in it. I`d love a new Dearly Beloved in 0.2 too and like Tinny said, after all this work they have already done, a new version of DB does not seem impossible. I guess Shimomura might be less busy too since FFXV is nearing it´s release. If this title does get a new DB, I hope a bit that they would put some sort of night theme in it. Listening to BBS Dearly Beloved always made me think of the night sky, and I think something similar would fit to 0.2 since it`s in the RoD, and Aqua´s journey takes her to the Dark Margin.
​and a new main menu artwork, pls

Seriously? People mention it frequently! It was brought up in the thread about Takeshi Nozue talking about a KH movie!
Well, I'll give you a bit of a rundown of their duties xD It is actually refreshing that you have no idea who they are because they are pretty much gods to Square Enix fans.
As far as I can remember, Visual Works was opened by Squaresoft in the late 1990s in order to make their CG visuals for games. Their first project was creating the CG visuals and movies present in Final Fantasy VII. They also did the CG work for The Spirits Within. They have worked on the visuals and movies on almost all of Square Enix's games since FF7 and when Square Enix purchased Eidos, they also started doing CG work for them as well.
Every beautiful CG visual, opening, ending, etc. has been by Visual Works. The level of detail they employ has always been compared to Disney and Pixar's CG prowess due to just how GOOD they are.
Like wow. I just can't believe you didn't know this. Visual Works gets brought up all of the time around here!

Interesting... I was always intrigued as to why Square Enix's opening for their video games are so grand despite not being as wealthy as Sega Sammy, Bandai Namco and Capcom. Well, as they say...
Just out of sheer curiosity, have they done any work on Enix titles like Dragon Quest and Star Ocean too?
Anyone else who believes Lea is going to be the Seventh?
Might just be me who's biased, but I think he has a fair chance :)

He does, and then in the next second I wonder if that wouldn't be too obvious. Nomura loves to "surprise" and shock us, so I'm kind of...afraid he's gonna make some unlikely characters lights and darknesses.
Hmm... I mean I guess if he wants to pull something with either Terra or Aqua.
Because right now the only three confirmed are Sora, Riku and Mickey, leaving Ventus and Aqua most likely being lights as well.
So now there are still two spots if I'm not mistaken. So possible characters in my eyes are Lea, Terra and Kairi.
I think Kairi is pretty obvious, being under training at the moment. But between Lea and Terra, I'm not sure.
I want Lea to be the Seventh, and I think the whole Terranort story is really great. I can just see the amount of drama that could come out of it, if let's say Vanitas and Aqua had to strike him down.
Or Nomura could just play a "Power of Friendship" card, and ditch Lea or sacrifice him... :'(

When you say Vanitas, I think you mean Ventus? :D But yeah, as long as Nomura doesn't pull anything just for the shock value, Lea being one of them seems likely. There has to be a reason he was given a keyblade.
Yes, Ventus XD Just realized...
No, of course Vanitas would become a light, I mean, if you want to pull a plot twist you've gotta go big or go home, right? ;)
Go big or go home? Then they need to do something even bigger like make Young Eraqus a darkness and Young Xehanort a light.

Ok fair enough :P Young Eraqus is something he might pull, but I think young Xehanort might be a bit too much of a stretch ;)
Plus it was meant as a joke about my typo ^^

I think Kairi is pretty obvious, being under training at the moment. But between Lea and Terra, I'm not sure.
I mean… why would Nomura give Lea a Keyblade if he won't be a GoL? I'm pretty sure he will be one of them.
(I am not saying 'Everybody who has a Keyblade => GoL' or anything. I just don't see why they'd take his Chakrams away if Lea wouldn't play a big role as a GoL.)
What I am more curious about is DG's Status… what will they even do at the final fight? Will they just sit there and wait because they're not under the GoLs? Will they still help no matter what?
Sora's not even that confirmed. I mean, both sides claimed him as one of their own.
And it SEEMS Xehanort failed, although he wasn't that worried over it.
Which means, he either actually succeeded or he knows he eventually will, or has already found another vessel/Sora was never meant to be one, it was all a ruse.
He wasn't worried about Sora becasue he knows that he'll eventually get a new Vessel to clash with the GoLs.
As he says himself, Destiny is never left to chance.
We are out of time. Neither the union of light nor darkness has been achieved and we must all return whence we came. But, the gathering of the seven and thirteen is nigh. Let us finish this at the fated place, once your lights and my darknesses have joined together!

Unless that's what he wants everyone to think.
Wouldn't be the first time.
