After that flood of new trailers, release dates and merchandise last night, it's hard to believe the news is still continuing to surface so soon after. The latest update comes in the form of a 10 minute English gameplay video featuring Christmas Town and Beast's Castle from Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, as well as Enchanted Dominion, Castle of Dreams, Radiant Garden from Birth by Sleep Final Mix.
Sound familiar? Well it should, because this is the exact same gameplay being offered via demo at Jump Festa in December. No doubt this is what will be waiting for E3 attendees next week.
Kingdom Hearts Insider will be at E3 this year. You can tweet questions to us at KHInsider on Twitter or follow us on Tumblr & Facebook for all the latest E3 and Kingdom Hearts news.

The first thing that I noticed: subtitle font change. I absolutely loved the change of the subtitle font in 1.5 (although its size was inconsistent in KHFM), and the one that's used in this video seems to offer better readability as well, at least for me. It's simpler than the slightly curvy font of the original game.

I hope there's a new soundtrack.
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
Considering this is ingame footage and will be playable next week, this is what you should (hopefully) expect the final game to look like (depending on your tv).
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
Even that damn pearl looks gorgeous.
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
I'm pretty sure the frame-rate is pretty bad in this video as well. :frown:
Dear God, please don't reach us like this...
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
Anyone notice they fix the two Kairi glitch in BBS FM shown in the footage?
I think a neew soundtrack will be revealed maybe, but don't get your hopes up.

They showed it was fixed in the screenshots lol

I was just stating something Chase, you didn't have to lol me. Just want to point out so there won't be any issues or worries.
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
I am very much pleased with this. The games looks great. Sucks to have to wait until December, but hey, we're getting HD Final Mixes for $40. The wait is worth it.
EDIT: Wow, BBS is looking super crisp. It almost looks better than KH2FM! Crazy to think it was a PSP game and now it's one of the prettiest games I've seen on PS3 to date.
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
Very nice. Birth by Sleep looks great, and I love the new 3D Keyblades, especially Fresh Breeze (even Earthshaker looks not as atrocious) I so can't wait for this
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
YAY THEY FIXED THE CARDBOARD KEY BLADES!
Honestly, it was the only thing I wanted fixed xD
I'm super psyched now. Huzah!

Joey, crusher of hopes and destroyer of dreams. ;~;
Hnnng, news overflow. Can't wait to get back to this and watch~
CoD in HD. #soonmylove
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
Yeah.... I did notice that right away. ALTHOUGH TERRA, VEN, AND AQUA HAVE 3D KEYBLADES SO I DON'T CARE :P
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay

Seeing that this is the same demo from Jump Festa last year means this is a dated version of the HD remaster. It's pretty safe to say it will look better (maybe slightly, but still).
Re: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMix Gameplay
That's because technically speaking these keyblades and the other ones are not the same. The graveyard keyblades here are part of a battle effect which are mostly 2D in BBS's case (come to think of it I think only Ven's Wingblades and Terra's hand of darkness thing are 3D models). Replacing them would have probably meant to redo all the associated effects which seems to be a step too far for SE.

Or maybe these are simply worlds that they are allowed to show off as of now. Could mean anything, really!

This was a joke on how he said the keyblades were no longer cardboard cutouts. It was never serious lol.
Watching this again made me realise the one thing I hated most about KH2. Donald's "I'll get it!".

It's "I've got it!", Chaser.
It was a toss up between that and I'll get it. Really I can not understand that duck.

No one understands that Duck, and one day he'll be fed up with it and Donald will seek Kingdom Hearts for himself.
So did anyone else notice that in the demo where Terra is fighting the Wheel Master that the Wheel Master has higher HP than what it did in the PSP version? In the PSP version the main body had 400 HP, but in the demo it appears that it has nearly 500 HP though not exactly, so more like it has 475 HP in the demo. Do you think this means that some bosses are getting stat boosts? Lucifer still has the same HP though.
Bitchin'.
Can't wait to get it.
BBS looks so polished. c:
Ven's eyes look glorious, guys!

Makes me wish they would have just made BBS a PS3 game to begin with. It was originally a PS2 game, but was moved to PSP. If they had moved it to PS3 instead and called it KH Zero it would have probably helped keep people tied over more until KH3 was announced.
I hope, since Wheel Master seems to have gotten an HP boost this means other bosses will as well, especially bosses like Master Xehanort and the other final bosses.
I'm pretty excited, even though I'm not going to be anywhere near my PS3 when this comes out! The graphical improvements are so nice.... It's sad that they didn't have time to redo coded - again (lol) as I felt that that had the funnest gameplay, however that should be mitigated by, hopefully!, being able to change the command bar controls to the shoulder butons, and the camera controls heading to the right stick :) Can't wait to play the secret episode either! woohoo!
Ya know the best part about BBS on PS3? No slow down or lag. There have been times when i've played BBS on my PSP and character will start to walk without me making them do it and in the continue or skip scene selections the game will make it move between the selections. I can't wait to play BBS without any of those issues ever.
Wow. I didn't even notice the "cardboard" keyblades until people here pointed it out in comparison to the remaster ones.
I've gotta do some direct comparisons.
Meh... BBS looks better emulated than it does on the remaster. Aside from minor tweaks in the textures (mainly Aqua's model), the emulation is more sharp and doesn't have a problem with aliasing.

^I respectfully disagree. I think BBS looks far more polished and crisp in the remaster. That emulated version still has that flatness of the PSP hardware.

Look at the background. The emulated version is noticeably sharper.

But look at literally everything else in the PS3 pictures. The texture of Aqua's hair and clothing (ESPECIALLY those pink straps around her upper torso), the lack of jagged edges on her shoulders, the fully rendered keyblade, the slightly blurred backgrounds to provide a sense of depth, smoother Unversed color, the texturing on the brickwork, etc.
The PS3 version looks quite stunning, I must say.

Either I am blind or we are looking at different pictures. :P
Her shoulders are ugly polygons on both versions. The ReMix also adds jaggies to the mix.
I cannot comment on the Keyblade cause they aren't the same Keyblades (Mickey's looks pretty much the same to me though)
If I could sum it up, I'd say that everything bar Aqua's model looks better on the emulated version.
It doesn't look "bad", especially when you compare it to the PSP's native resolution - but I expected that a little more care would be put into this.
I agree with Nazo, I think you've sold me on the PS3 version! Aqua looks way better in terms of textures. When you consider the the second pic, it seems very much like SE added a blurred depth of field in the background on purpose as an improvement.
Also, the YouTube footage can't compare to the true game. I remember watching 1.5 online before playing it. That game looked much better when being played in 1080p. I just wish it was 60fps.
I knew Sora had a custom outfit for Christmas Town in Final Mix, but I never realized Donald and Goofy did, too. You think I would have caught that. Anyway, the hype train is still on the move. I can't wait to play BBSFM!!!

They are both from YouTube and I also have a 1080p version of the trailer without compression. That's not it.
Glad I sold you on the collection though :P

Same here. I remember seeing all the promo screenshots and trailers and thinking the game looked stunning and then I booted it up on my PS3 and my jaw dropped and how incredible it looked in person. KHFM in 1080p is one of the sharpest, most beautiful games I have ever played.
Therefore, I can only imagine what 2.5 is going to look like. KH2FM and BBFM are already looking even sharper in their promo pictures and trailers. They're going to look ridiculous in person.

That thing is 3 gb, you actually downloaded the full thing!? :O

Wait, what?
I downloaded the one you posted (221MB). There is a bigger one? :biggrin:

It looked good, but nowhere near as good as the promo stills

Sorry, a bit of confusion! The 3GB video he's referring to is the direct feed gameplay video. I don't think it's been made available for download yet but we do have it.

And is it against the rules to give it to us, or download links for it, since it's no on YouTube?
If we are able to share it, we'd need to figure out exactly how to go about doing so first.
It's a bit difficult for us to share a 3gb video since it's a massive amount for us and for people wanting to view it.
I wonder how soon the rearranged tracks will be implemented since it's still the original version of the soundtrack. I can't wait to hear Christmas Town or the 13th Reflection rearranged.

Well I thought I'd ask. Thanks anyway! :wink:

It's possible if they decide to implement it. We'll probably know this week.
KH2's original soundtrack was super janky due to disk size issues. A remaster will sound so good I might cry.
I was really hoping to hear the remastered soundtrack in that video, but I guess I'll have to wait. Darn. Great video, I really like how crisp the textures looked and especially the HUD. It's a huge difference!
Birth By Sleep looks great, super stoked to get my hands on that; December won't take too long to come round hopefully.
