hell if i know. i can't read those tiny images. :c but the source said "change speech" and so that is what we can assume until clarification.
wait wait
additional SUMMONS?!?
召喚 = Summons
So. IDK. That's what it says.
Perhaps Bahamut is being made reality?
Or better yet, Buzz and Woody? :3
Doesn't that just mean the Summon command in 4th command slot?
Doesn't that just mean the Summon command in 4th command slot?
That is probably it. Okay. I need sleep. I cannot even comprehend anything anymore.

There's too many Slayers in this thread.

KH THEMES? So much wanttttt.
I'm interested to see what the changing speech option actually means...
so much want!!!!! But yeah the change speech thing is probably like what they with X international, and have the ability to change at least the voice tracks if not the text.
I don't think it's the ability to change speech, guys. I think something to do with the on-screen display has changed regarding either speech, magic or deflecting...? I can't tell without kanji lol
In any case, that tweet groups it in with summons and special techniques as having the on-screen display change, so it would be something related to that imo
The new in summon might just be what others have said; a command slot. The only new kind of summon I can imagine would be a character from a movie that hasn't been made a world on, like Buzz and Woody.
And Chaser, you're not a Dream Slayer, but a Dream Eater. ;)
Wow. Liking the changes. Can't wait to hear more details on some of them.
Now if the possibility to switch between the normal and the final mix heartless skins would be included, that would be something. I'm still glad that they put the camera on the right stick, the L/R camera really bothers me when I'm playing the original game.
I wonder if some of those changes (specifically Zero EXP) apply to Re: Chain as well as KHFM.
I'd been hoping for Zero EXP. I'm slightly disappointed by the "reward" for clearing the games, if that's what it's supposed to be.
Kinda bummed there is no Critical mode for KHFM or RE:COM , but level 1 runs on proud mode should be challenging
I'm much more excited about the "additional coombo starters" than anything else. KH2FM had several different combo starters (such as sliding dash, flash step, round break, dodge slash, slapshot) but KH1FM only really had a couple.
Overall, I'm actually surprised that they have been making slight additions to the gameplay in this way. Most HD collections make no changes to the gameplay of titles at all. We are luky that Square Enix is putting extra effort into this.
Hmm Combo master, if it's the same as the ability in KH3D, it would mean you can perform combos without interruption or attacking an enemy.
Wow, now that I'm awake today and my head isn't hurting I can read the japanese much better now.
I am so excited! I hope the PS3 theme is pretty (and doesn't look as boring as the XIII-2 one)
"Right stick corresponding to the camera operation"
For me, EVERY good game should have this!!! or be able to control with the R2 and L2, It just seems right.
I can sense that I'll do something crazy to get this game pre ordered!!
Ps: I cry everytime I watch Days Ending! * =( * I bet I'll see the cutscenes everyday
I'm pretty excited about the Days cut scenes. Even though I didn't hate the game, I feel like this is a better format for that story. At this point I'm dying to know whether or not it's going to be edited like a movie or stand alone cut scenes to a hypothetical remake.
Camera being controlled by the second stick is a welcome change.
It would be lovely if they've included the Japanese voices in the English release.
I don't really remember but wasn't the right stick for moving up and down the commands? We will have to move them with the arrows now? How will I move then?

Along with spanish, french, italian,dutch, and any other languages that were in KH1. It's a blu ray disc that is either 25 or 50 GB. Most PS3 games barely fill even half of the 25 GB one. Come on put all the voices in there.

It was probably be controlled like KH2 where you can use the D-pad or L2 plus analog I think.

Pretty much sums up my views on the themes. However, I doubt the themes will be really plain since unlike in FFXIII (where each theme was based on one character) this time there are only 3 themes and they each summarize the whole game so I'm hoping for a group shot. The worst possible thing right now is if the theme is just the cover art of the game with special icons :(
Also, if the "Speech Change" thing really means that you can languages, that would put to rest any hope that they will edit the audio in the game, right? Since that would mean at least in Japan, they are just going to use the English track that we already have, at least IF that is what it means :)
There isn't really anything new to voice other then the Days movie. RE:COM just needs to be resynced lip movement wise. That's it really
I'm cool with changes, but I don't know I guess sometimes I don't like things changed, but I'll still be buying it regardless. As I no longer can play PS2 anymore.
I myself will just be happy to play KHFM for the first time and R:CoM again on my shiny new PS3. :D Plus getting to watch Days in cutscene form. :3 Anything else, like right-stick camera, etc., are extra candy to me. I cannot wait. *excited dance*
No new trailer yet huh? I was out all day trying to forget about whats going on in hopes the new trailer would be out when I got back.
There isn't really anything new to voice other then the Days movie. RE:COM just needs to be resynced lip movement wise. That's it really
I am kinda hoping they don't replace Billy Zane's voice in the first Kingdom Hearts cause honestly I know everyone loves the new Ansem's voice but I think Zane's voice just fit Ansem's so well and is better than the new.
Wow, now that I'm awake today and my head isn't hurting I can read the japanese much better now.
Me too lol
It doesn't say you can switch languages, it says that the talk option on the display has been changed. So maybe it has been given a different button?
edit: LOL SCRATCH THAT I FOUND IT
Both of those things are in there, then! Both the talk option command has changed AND the voice/sub language can be swapped!

That's so exciting! Thanks GP. :3
Right stick corresponding to the camera operation.
Thank god.
OK, so a few questions still need answering regarding the English AND Japanese speech. If some of these have been answered already, please let me know.
1. The comment in the first post mentions nothing about the game's text (menus, subtitles) so I wonder if this ability to switch speech only applies to the audio or if it also applies to the text as well.
2. IF the games have the ability to switch audio, will the Days 'movie' have that ability as well? Has anyone heard any news on whether or not people like Jessy McCartney, Hayden Panettiere (or Alyson Stoner, whoever is voicing Xion), Quinton Flynn, or any others have actually gone to recording sessions for this? If they haven't it looks like no English movie for us....
With the game having the ability to switch languages, we may only see an 'International release' instead of a Japan release followed by an NA/Europe/Australia release.
So much to ponder..... so little time....

The ability to switch between english and japanese audio is probably because the FM's had english audio in them.
Just going to throw it out there that there's no reason for us to have heard anything at this point. It's not as though they have an entire game to record, considering the majority is already in english.
So I get to hear awesome Japanese voice acting whenever I want? Sweet.
If there are 2-3 hours of cutscenes, then the amount of English voicovers present in the original DS game is very far from the 'majority'. A lot of new voice recordings would have to be made, so they essentially have almost an entire animated movie to record voices for.

I'm sure they will hop on that, just like they would any localized content mannnn
Japanese/English Tarzan. My ps3 will be on fire

The majority obviously referring to the entirety of KH1, barring the FM additions, and Re:CoM.

Well in KH1FM all the new cutscenes were either silent or reusing audio. So voice in KH1FM is complete.
In the original Re:CoM (the japanese one that came with KH2 Final Mix) you got new cards if you did certian things in KH2. I wonder if that will be put in. Also I wonder if they'll change Sephiroth's voice to the one it is now (they could splice pieces of the dialogue from the KH2 battle over to this one).
Well in KH1FM all the new cutscenes were either silent or reusing audio. So voice in KH1FM is complete.
That's why I said, "barring the FM additions". Which, aren't that many. There's no reason for us to hear anything about English VA recording this early because the amount of content that would need to be recorded isn't huge, unless they decide to re-record KH1 entirely for consistency. I wouldn't worry about it at all.
HJO shouldn't go through this anymore

agreed, but I just thought of my reaction if that were to happen and assuming the cover art is the same as from the site/soundtrack with sora sitting in the throne looking bored, i'd be like.
Cover art: above
Theme: Cover art
My reaction: zoom-in on Sora in cover art.
[FONT=Arial]The story of every day may be browsed in chapter format![/FONT] |
Well, that made my afternoon!
HJO shouldn't go through this anymore
Actually, he's probably one of the(many) actors that wont be doing this, since any FM dialogue sora has is spliced from other parts of the game. everything else he recorded is in the english version, so there's no point for him specifically to work on this.
Also, I hope the Days section has a "play all" button seeing as it's kind of a movie divided into chapters.
So does any of this confirm for sure a US release?? There's a part of me that's really nervous it will be Japan only :confused:

Nothing about a western release yet, but it would be incredibly stupid if it was Japan only.
I'd actually be shocked if it was only Japan exclusive.
I think they should have just made Days into a movie. The first Kingdom Hearts movie. Over 2 hours of new cut scenes? A movie is just a more logical thing to do.

RIght? I don't think it will be a JP only release either cause even Tetsuya Nomura said he wants to bring in a new audience. I don't know about u guys but I am in my mid 20's I think Nomura wants to bring in a younger generation of fans to keep the series alive not that they really need it. To be honest though most of my once Kingdom Hearts friends have moved or gave up on KH because they had waited so long for KH3. i am a die hard fan to the end though. :cool:
Ability to change audio between English and Japanese
KH -FINAL MIX-
+ 'English voicing (with Japanese subtitles)' has been revised to 'Japanese voicing'!
I wonder if this means you can switch between English and Japanese at any point during the game, if you choose before starting and are locked in, or if by showing the game in trailers in Japanese that means during your playthrough you play with Japanese voiceovers, and can view Japanese or English voiceovers in a theater mode.
Also, weird this only seems to apply to KHFM, while it might make sense that there isn't voiceovers for the 358/2 Days stuff (at least not yet), why not include the English voiceovers from Re: Chain as well?
No, I think they just generally mean the entire game is Japanese.
Oh, so by English revised to Japanese they mean it used to be in English with Japanese text for PS2 Final Mix but now it is just Japanese voiceovers. But then what does "Ability to change audio between English and Japanese" mean or is that a translation error?
So does any of this confirm for sure a US release?? There's a part of me that's really nervous it will be Japan only :confused:
Nothing has officially confirmed 100% a US release, but DDD did say that secret message about revisiting the past in better quality and they didn't take it out of the US version from the Japanese version. On top of that, considering KH1 dates back over 10 years old now, it would be foolish on SE's part to release KH3 without a whole bunch of new gamers playing the rest of the series.
Also, I know this is a bit premature, but the more I see the new models and things like that and how great the HD looks, I keep getting more excited for BbS in HD lol...
