The season of giving is here once again, and we're excited to say the Kingdom Hearts team have given us all a gift!
Following the success of the Jump Festa, it seems fitting that the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix trailer has been released. You can watch it after the jump.
Update: Thanks to Sign, we finally have a hard subbed version of the trailer!

Whoops. Let me fix that now.
So I just watched it on an HD Television and it looks amazing. If you haven't watched either of the trailers on a HDTV yet I definitely recommend it.
It's so beautiful~
All of those Days scenes look great. I wonder if the story will be a bit more enthralling without the horrid gameplay.
Can site staff watch it now? No? Okay :<
days looks amazing, and so does the rest of the game
So Excited!!!! I cant wait for this!
The Days cutscenes look amazing! I hope that it includes footage of the important battles in the game as well, such as; Xion vs Riku, Axel vs Xion, Roxas vs Saix, Roxas vs Xion, and of course, Roxas vs Riku.
The Days scenes were awesome. March is a long road, but It will go fast like that.
Audio problem. Until then, MOVIES | KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX- | SQUARE ENIX
Can someone dub it in english please like the TGS one?
Thanks Chaser. I can't wait for this collection. It's my most anticipated game. But still no word on western localization?
O ya... ya I'm going to be crying again in 358/2...
But still no word on western localization?
Nothing yet, but hopefully soon.
Also, you're lying if you say Days wouldn't have been more enjoyable in better graphics. If they made it for the PS3 originally we would have these scenes, better gameplay, more varied missions and perhaps they would have spent more time with the plot and fleshing things out.

It's still to early for one to be announced.
So, why does Saix always have fish face? Even when it is important his face is fish.

To this day, I regret coining the phrase "Fish face" :<
KH has always needed to be in HD, that was beautiful~
We meet again, fish face.
Oh my gosh! This was a great Christmas present :) It was so beautiful!

considering how many man hours I poured into calibrating my TV ill definitely do that.....tomorrow.
No one else is noticing the abysmal framerate in the ReCOM gameplay videos? Has me pretty worried...

Oh, we noticed. We just are polite enough to not comment on it because it doesn't really bother us because we're not that picky with it right now :3
Yeah, it's not something I'm going to worry about. There's still a few months before its release.

To be honest, this trailer and hearing Hikari has gotten me so pumped! Oh, the clarity. Probably a long shot considering how long it may take, but what is the possibility of the team updating the lip sync in the game? Days aside, of course.
I really hope they release this for North America!! I really want this game!!
Yeah, it's not something I'm going to worry about. There's still a few months before its release.
The problem is that every time this has happened in a trailer it hasn't gotten fixed. It's pretty disgusting when its coming from the PS2 to the much more powerful PS3.
but what is the possibility of the team updating the lip sync in the game? Days aside, of course.
I'm hoping they do fix it. #inbe4jadentheman
Also, we have sound now :)
dunno but his face isnt always fish in every scene is it? Even so that was one shot.
In BBS his face was prerendered even when he had a few frames by himself. In KH3D it wasn't but he DID only have two shots. In KH2 it was fishy sometimes. But generally even in important scenes he's got that prerendered face.

Most unfortunate when that happens.
I see Tarzan's copyright at the end of trailer. So Square Enix bought the copyright from Edgar Rice Borrough to use Tarzan in this game.
i knew in BBS, but I saw some fully rendered face in KH2. I know important scenes arent always something to go by; just ones that require more expression. several important Sora moments in KH1-putting his hand in with Donald and Goofy, seeing Maleficent for the first time, demanding Hook fork over Riku's whereabouts, take your pick-have much worse cases of prerendered faces. I dont know who prioritizes them but some are pretty bad simply for the expression you end up imagining.

Here's to hoping that now we can see Deep Jungle again. It would be nice if they added it into COM, like the original plan had, but that will never happen.

Square wouldnt've been the one to buy it, and there was some relatively recent thing like the character being public domain but the stories copyrighted. Also, this is an old game so as long as it wasnt particularly altered it would've been fine. What really gets me is the trailer.
it also says(I think. fullscreening it restarts the video and it takes longer to load in HD and to play) "Promizzion Copyright" which might mean that the copyright still expired.

Wouldn't that screw up CoM's 13 floor thing?
It can be the mysterious 14th floor that was never meant to be. :P
Wouldn't that screw up CoM's 13 floor thing?
Were the 13 floors part of the plot? Serious question, I actually can't remember.
Anyways, I downloaded my own copy of the trailer and watched it(with the sound finally).
So emotional and beautiful.
Also, is it bad during Day's I started to think "Talk about the new Organizations plans, not Xion!"
Wouldn't that screw up CoM's 13 floor thing?
It would considering it was 13 before any change of story.
I didn't really care about the Days cutscenes until this trailer... I realized that we will get to hear more of the Organization's epic voice acting. Xemnas in HD + Paul St. Peter will be uber win.
No one else is noticing the abysmal framerate in the ReCOM gameplay videos? Has me pretty worried...
Yeah, I noticed that right away and I'm a little worried over it as well.
I found that Re:COM often suffered from moments of horrible framerate even on the PS2 (which it was made for). It is very noticeable while using the Firaga Burst sleight. They use it in this trailer and you can see how much it slows down at that point.
This was most likely an issue that would have required a complete rebuild of the game engine in order to solve. As a result, we will probably get this laggy gameplay on the PS3 version even more frequently than on the PS2. It's unfortunate, but its a common occurrence among PS2 to PS3 conversions.... just look at the Ratchet & Clank collection....
That was beautiful. :|
I downloaded it and watched it on my HDTV. I literally paused it and touched Axel's face to see if it felt as lifelike as it looked.
They have clearly put in some more work on the collection since the TGS trailer. Look at the difference between Sora's hand in the TGS trailer and in the Jump Festa trailer:
[SPOILER=Due to size.]

You notice a tan, but not the fact there is more detail on the metal of Sora's glove...
square must have thought after my video was online"$h*t now we gotta release the trailer" lol ;)
Maaaan, can you imagine how awesome BBS will look if its in the second collection.......... PLEASE DO IT!

The piece of metal was what jumped out at me. But I am now noticing the tan after you guys brought it up.
can someone leave me a link to the download page for the vimeo site i cant get to it from this video on the ps3
That was an amazing trailer. Gave me some good 'ol KH feels... best Christmas gift ever. XD
This game really makes me wish I had a PS3. :)

Fingernails for KH3.
Everything looked so beautiful/clean in that trailer. The details on the clothing, hair, etc. are much better.
Here are some screenshots I made.

I like the trailer but what really stood out for me was that 10 years later, they still cannot get rid of fish face but in games like XIII, it's just simply not there.
Were the 13 floors part of the plot? Serious question, I actually can't remember.
It fits with the series use of the number XIII. Plus if they add Deep Jungle, they'd have to add more cutscenes to the Castle Oblivion floors.

what if they took out a world like winnie the pooh and replaced it with deep jungle or would that affect the story. sora never talks about story events when he is in a disney world its more or less... "Namine! Hurry up donald and goofy!" *le goes into world* "dafuq am i" leaves world. "Namine!" pretty well instantly *le larxene appears* *cue goofy to fall from ceiling*. i dunno maybe they will take something out in place for it.
I have a hard subbed version uploading onto vimeo right now~
Thank you very much! This is a nice Christmas present.
This is the first time I've seen Phantom in his FM attire and I have to say he looks epic!
Wow. Just Wow! Looks like they put a lot of work in this and watching the days is really like watching an amazing movie. The voice actors also looked like the put so much emotion into it. I got so moved when Roxas was like "Tell me" to Axel. This was just a really cool thing to watch. Great work!

Here's an english fanmade version someone I know from GameFAQs made. Pretty cool because he used some of the quotes that I ripped from the game

Omg that line just about killed me. He sounded like he was going to break out into tears at any moment ;A;
Trailer was be-u-ti-ful! Like others have said, it looks EVEN BETTER on HD screens! *_*
Definitely excited for this game. <3
just made my whole christmas day lls loved the preview!!!!
All them Days scenes... YES ! :D
These Days scenes frustrate me xD I hate the game but this is making me really excited lol
I really hope this releases in america and everywhere else.

Oh wow, that's awesome! Great job in such a short amount of time.
Are the quotes you ripped available anywhere? If you don't mind, I'd like to use them to try and make a fanmade English version myself ^^
Looks great. I guess the next collection will feature BBS and KH2, thus giving us HD remasters of the Sony titles and theatre modes for the Nintendo only games. That would make sense, imo. I'm yet to play DDD as I don't have a 3DS, but how does it compare to the other handhelds? I've heard it's not as much of a "proper" game as BBS, but more in-depth than the DS games?
I still prefer BBS's story, but DDD looks and plays better.
I can't wait for this remaster. All of these improvements are making me very happy.

Wow, cool to have up in such a short amount of time! Your friend did good. c:
Makes me realize how much worse the English voices were though compared to the Japanese. While they stick out in the Japanese trailer, some of these lines are just "eh". :/
Best Xmas present I received this year!!!!! the hole trailer I was like "OMG" but when Xion theme started, I just burst into tears, Days changed my life..Realy, Its soooo deep! for me Its the best KH in therms of characters development. The way the storie goes...I dont even know what I'm saying anymore...This game Is AMAZING, period.
I'm gonna spend hours playing it/ watching Days....

That's what I was thinking they'd do too. I'd rather have Deep Jungle than 100 Acre Wood to be honest.
Use a world that's already made up and within the game or delete that and put in a different world where they'd have to work on fixing it. Hmmmm, tough choice. Whatever would they do.

What indeed. My rational mind tells me definately the latter. Then again, I like being sarcastic.

to be fair though, the English voices are mostly solid-even great sometimes-and it's very hard to do a good foreign dub.

The voices sound much better in the scenes they're originally from :>
I think they did an awesome job. With Kingdom Heart Remix hopefully they have I don't understand this fish face business, but whatever it doesn't matter to me. Really looking forward to the 100 or so over cut scenes for days. Hopefully it has more Demyx scene including Axel with him. I would love to see them on that couch during one of the missions. Also the other organization members needs lots of scenes as well. I will be upset if they overpower it with Xion scenes.
So does that mean they are not doing a Kingdom Hearts 2 remix?

That should suffice, I believe lol
Lemme say this to expand on the last thing I said: be happy that we're getting all of this:
- KH 1 FM HD with updated models and fixed gameplay
- KH Re:CoM which a lot of people in Europe didn't get to play
- KH 358/2 Days reworked into a beautiful HD 'movie'
- Trophies
- PS3 Themes as a reward for completing the games
Do fishfaces even matter here? Or even the cropped cutscenes (although I'm hearing that the cutscenes aren't even cropped in the game)? This lets you re-experience 2 wonderful games (to be more precise, 3 games) in HD and fixes what was broken in the first game to have a more consistent experience.
And yes, it hasn't been announced for international release but they didn't remove the secret message in DDD for us, did they? That should tell us enough.

Such a horror. This small team of people are so lazy despite the fact they were the ones to take on the project without having been asked and have never made a HD game before. Damn, can't forget this might be SE's most polished HD game yet, but they are so lazy for having fish face. SMH.

Yeah but on
PCSX2 you can have even better upgraded models or something!!! It's better!!!!!
Actually it would take longer and the xiii version is stiff face animation
[SPOILER=Days would be the greatest movie thing ever]
[/SPOILER]
Actually it would take longer and the xiii version is stiff face animation
And even then it is still prerendered faces. It's much more noticeable in XIII-2 where it looks like Serah is moving her head and thinking with a blank look or a forever fixed smile. It is very eerie and I'm glad they didn't go that route in the 1.5.
[SPOILER=Days would be the greatest movie thing ever]
[/SPOILER]Lol Larxene.
Still, you have the technology, you use it.
But its not a matter of technology. Animation is one of the hardest things to do in the world and its time consuming. The kh ps2 games wouldntvbe done in a timely manner if they had full faces everywhere it counts
That's why I'm talking about using/doing it now...
But it takes a long time and more animators. No matter the tech. Days alone they mustve worked on about a year. Ddd has face ankmations but they have new tools for it tools that might notve been compatibld with ps2 kh. And they still had to work for two years.
Hey, think of it this way. Even with all the updates and remodels, we're still getting one piece of the original games.
That's how I see it. I see nostalgia in those fish faces. As silly as it sounds, lol. I'm weird that way.
I doubt it takes a long time to animate if they have almost every aspect of the game ready, at least a month if it's like 10 or 15 animators each set to work on a certain world's cutscenes and the last few as extra help. It really does not seem like that much of a chore if they hired A-class employees.
EDIT: It's not even really that I want them gone, it's just astounding how even after 10 years they're not gone. But also scenes like the one at 1:34, where Sora faces the World of Chaos, like it's Sora's final battle and you're not gonna go all grandeur?
EDIT: It's not even really that I want them gone, it's just astounding how even after 10 years they're not gone.
How about you try animating a game and see how easy it is.
Weren't there only 2 people working on the HD collection?
How about you try animating a game and see how easy it is.
I really would love to but you know how costly animating programs are...
Weren't there only 2 people working on the HD collection?
Maybe? That's what I heard, but if it really takes only 2 people to upscale, retexture, recode, reprogram and update the game... then wow, did I miscalculate.
EDIT: It's not even really that I want them gone, it's just astounding how even after 10 years they're not gone.
At a company where most of their major production teams are being funneled into working on another huge project, I highly doubt they have 10 or 15 animators to spare at the moment. We aren't even sure just how many people in Osaka are working on this game and what other projects they have lined up.
I've said it a billion times; it's not like I want them to do it, just why they can't do it.
And I just gave you a reason why. What if they don't have the manpower or the time to put into this aspect? Considering this is an internal development and not outsourced, and with a huge number of people at the company working on other projects, I really doubt they have enough people for this or the time.
And this still remains to look better than XIII and XIII-2 and this is just a HD remaster!
Fine then, but I still doubt it'd be too much work for them if they churn out game after game each year.
I don't think you understand exactly how much work goes into just animating a facial expression, especially when faces are some of the hardest things to animate. And take this from the one who's going to school for this.
Like the others said, they didn't allocate a ton of people to this project, and they did it because they WANTED to, so be happy with what we're getting. Because it already looks gorgeous!
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE
I was hoping the trailer would be longer.
I'd love to see some more of Re:CoM and Days. A lot of this HD game has been focusing on the KH1 side of things
I going to take classes to make games... It's not easy than you think. You can call designers 'lazy' but at the of the day, they work to please the costumers... At least give them that.
This trailer was very short for a Nomura game, that is for sure. I guess it is hard to make one for old games, and if they show too much of the new Days stuff they risk killing the excitement.

They have over two hours though D:
My only hope is separate trailers for each of the game.
I can only image what they'll put in Days to get us hyped. Maybe they'll include Riku seeing Kairi, Roxas fighting Saix, fighting against the Lizard thing, PLEASE LET THEM INCLUDE THE SCENE OF ALMOST EVERY ORGANISATION MEMBER FIGHTING RIKU PLEASE

Stop getting my hopes up. :c

They have the chance to put in the awesome stuff that wasn't in the game.
In proper graphics.
In HD.
There's no way to not have hopes up :c

They are! Just take a look at my Youtube page here.
I have just about everything that's important, though I suppose I haven't gotten around to uploading some of the less important Disney villains.

There's a lot of stuff to look forward to. There's a lot of content we never got to experience that were previously Japanese exclusive. Especially for the first game, with updated models and taking creative liberties with adding the "Reaction Command" and the camera controls or the fact that nobody remembered how to use the program 10 years ago besides Sumio Nasu. xD
It makes me wonder what else they've added that weren't revealed yet.

That's not the kind of new I meant! I meant like, brand new scenes with brand new content akin to KH2FM's new scenes.

Thank you. I had no idea all this was happening ._.

But yes, KH has to be the most exciting because it has the most changes. Most HD remasters from other series just upscale the game and that's it.

Do you really think there is still more? I'm completely fine with the stuff they've already added. THERE BEING MORE??!?!? O___O

It's possible. They haven't mentioned the Cloud vs. Sephiroth thing anymore even though it was mentioned in initial reports.
As far as I have seen, the also have not yet shown or even mentioned the Xemnas battle. I really hope they add voiceovers for Xemnas to that scene instead of just the text and shaking screen.

I don't know if I'd want speech there. The lack of voiceover on Enigmatic Figure's part was what gave it a mysterious and chilling atmosphere. I'd want Xemnas to make sounds in battle, though.

That would be really weird to have that mix. I think it would be better if they had the lack of a voice in there as well, but if we're gonna make Xemnas not have a voice here, we have to go all-out. I think the battle grunts would just kill the effect. I think it should be either all-in or all-out.
Do you really think there is still more? I'm completely fine with the stuff they've already added. THERE BEING MORE??!?!? O___O
Honestly, I don't really think there'd be much more aside from what we have already seen. I remember someone mentioning a while back ago on some other thread the possibility of a Versus trailer for a secret ending, which would be nice... don't think it would happen, but it'd be nice considering the game was supposed to come out in Japan in this month of this year according to the last trailer.
I want no voiceover for Xemnas. Zero. It would absolutely kill the atmosphere.

[FONT=Verdana]Exactly. Having no voice added mystery to it. The same goes for MF in BBS and LS in KH2FM . If they had talked, they would have seemed less threatening. [/FONT]
On a different note, does anyone else think they should update the music? It would be wonderful if on top of everything else we're getting from this remake, the music was being remastered too.

Even though it would be nice, I don't even think it's necessary. The music sounded amazing back in the day and, I believe, survived the test of time even now.

Like king_mickey rule said, I don't think it's really necessary. And given how much the composers worked in KH3D, I think they deserve a break.
I remember someone mentioning a while back ago on some other thread the possibility of a Versus trailer for a secret ending, which would be nice... don't think it would happen, but it'd be nice considering the game was supposed to come out in Japan in this month of this year according to the last trailer.
I think a Versus trailer would not work at all. It seems weird that KH fans have to work hard to unlock a secret ending for a FF game??? Also, there would be that bunch of people who don't know what Versus is and interpret the secret video to be KH3...because you know, either Sora dies his hair or Aqua gets a sex change >_<
I want no voiceover for Xemnas. Zero. It would absolutely kill the atmosphere.
While I don't know if it would completely kill the atmosphere, I do think it makes him more epic when you don't know if anything you do phases him xP
Doesn't it matter if they do the voice or text for Xemnas for KH1 FM? I don't honestly care as long it's out for us to enjoy, am I right?

The SD screenshot is streched, the HD one is not. Yes Jaggies were everywhere in the PS2 version and still there in the PS3 one. Hopefully they will utilize some AA and even FXAA/SMAA to help. Because it's kinda unacceptable now to have HD PS2 games keep most of the aliasing. If it was in 3D mode I would forgive some of that because RSX in PS3 is really weak.
[FONT=Verdana]Exactly. Having no voice added mystery to it. The same goes for MF in BBS and LS in KH2FM . If they had talked, they would have seemed less threatening. [/FONT]

Strangely I was just thinking about that last night.Also when it comes to remastering the composers don't have to put all that much work into the music, what I mean by this is that they don't have to re-record anything, they just fine tune the song and make the sound a higher quality. Think of it like the remaster of KH, they arent starting from scratch they are just refining what is already there.
So I wouldn't doubt if they remastered the soundtrack to go along with the remastered game but it isn't necessary honestly.

Well composers and sound engineers have to redo for 5.1 Dolby digital surround

I think Yoko Shimomura seems to be on top of that since the Fan Selections OST has been released. Those tracks were made with better quality and perhaps it closely coincides with the development of the HD remasters.
True, don't think for a second S-E wouldn't release a KH:OST remaster renamed to KH:1.5 HD remix soundtrack. People buy just for the name change alone!
I'd buy it because it's Yoko Shimomura, the goddess of video game music.

Remastering the music would just be an extra treat, but I would really appreciate it as I am a fan of KH's music. And besides, why not? They already did it for BBS, Days, and Coded. Why not KH1?

Here's hoping!
What KH1 songs were in that collection?
I hope the high quality facial animations for Donald and Goofy are used more often here. Because there are just some scenes where they wouldn't show emotion where they should.
Here's an example: Kingdom Hearts - Final Mix [Playthrough Part 41] [Just The Delivery Boy] - YouTube
I can here the emotion but I can't see the emotion. It's kind of a nitpick, but since this is an HD Remake, facial animations here are a big disscussion.
What KH1 songs were in that collection?
Take a look here:
KINGDOM HEARTS 10th ANNIVERSARY FAN SELECTION -Melodies & Memories- | SQUARE ENIX
I felt this strange mix of nostalgia and the feeling of seeing something new while watching this trailer. It was great! Seeing 358/2 Days was my favorite part. Xion's theme always makes me emotional.
Not gonna lie, im pretty jealous that those in japan will be getting this beautiful game in alittle over 2 months. :tongue:
Did Tarzan's face get longer?

yeah, one was squashed a bit. But the fingernails and resolution are noticeable. Notice that canopy has a little more detail. Of course, the comparison there is not quite to be trusted as the first one was captured at low res.
as for the soundtrack, I'd love for the remixed tracks to be in. One of my biggest gripes for the music of the series was the artificial sound, and it's improved a lot over the years.

Yeah, I hope it gets released in the states. I mean, I would be mad if they didn't release it here. But, then again it is the remake of KHFM, KH Re:Com and KH 358/2 Days. There's a slight chance that they might not release it in the states, because they never released KHFM in the states, Europe, or anywhere else, but Japan (If I'm correct).
Just heard Destati, and it sounds great! Much more like an actual chorus and orchestra.

you are correct, but there are a number of logical reasons. Japan does like exclusives, and America doesnt like special editions much or rereleases in such a short time. Sony could have regulations on games like FM that would be a violation of contract if revealed. At this point, the FM version not being localized for this collection would be a waste of resources and if it's not released outside japan, it'd be a huge dent in square's profits.
But, I hope it does get release in the States along with KH2.5 in the future. I mean, two years without two games being released in the states without a Kingdom Hearts would kinda drive some fans nuts, right?
We still have another 2 months until it's Japanese release.
Not to mention Dream Drop Distance had it's American release date announced after it was release in Japan.
exactly what Chaser said, and almost everyone else too.
anyway, easter egg! one of the images on the OST page doesnt fit. It should be easy to guess which one.

You have a point. Hopefully, it'll be released. And, is Days just cutscenes in the game?

Yep. 2 hours of Days cutscenes.

Man, I wish I could have played the game, instead of Re:Com. Re:Com should be in cutscenes, because the game was really hard and I never beat it.
yeah, but it was already remade. Considering the lack of praise Days got for it's gameplay, the amount of materials that would have to be rebuilt from the ground up and the remastering of many KH2 locations and character models(yes, that actually is already largely done, but what about Beast's Castle?) actually forget that last point, but it would be expensive and time consuming.

Neither did David Gallagher which resulted in him never getting to experience Reverse/Rebirth, thereby preventing him from appreciating all the hard work he did.

You can do it! Think about the beautiful HD and the lip syncing that will hopefully be edited to match the English script!
Never give up! The games may make you want to toss the controller across the room but in the end you'll feel fulfilled!

This has been really bothering me. What is it?
This has been really bothering me. What is it?
I'm assuming it's the fourth image.
Look at how out of place Sora is here.(right click, open new tab cause the forums absolutely hates images)
Hopefully, I can do it this time. I hope I don't have to deal with Repliku's quick, aggressive attacks. That's what got me last time. And, last time, I managed to beat Vexen, because I figured out his strategy. But, when I tried doing it with Repliku. It just resulted me having my butt handed to me. And, did they get the same singer that sanged the first two openings to KH and KH2 to sing? I've heard she quit on the series.
Utada is currently on hiatus. It is still unknown when she will return, but in regards to KH, "Disney doesn't pay." Ut's not so much she quit as she turned them down.
Oh, then how are they going to do the opening for KH1.5? Are they going to find somebody else to sing it or just do with what they did for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance?
It will probably remain the same as the original games.

Opening? Each game already has an opening.

Yeah, but is Kingdom Hearts 1.5 going to have one opening or just three openings from each of the games?

It would be three openings. Collections of games don't usually have an "opening". Just a menu to select whatever game you want, maybe one of the collection's trailers playing before the menu pops up to select the game.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you. Another question is it worth going out to buy the games separately or together? I'm betting the game is going to be really expensive once it comes out at Gamestop and also on the PS3. Since, I don't have a PS3. I'm probably going to have to save for the game and the console. But, how much would it be if I bought them separately or together?
That would also mean that I would have to go out and buy a PS2 and the first two games. I don't have to worry about Days since I have a 3DS, which takes DS games.
In America, I believe HD collections are only $40~

HD Remasters don't tend to cost more than $40 in North America, which is definitely a good deal for two games (and pretty much a movie.) You'd get a better deal investing in the HD Remaster and a PS3, especially if there are other games you'd want to play on the PS3. Depending on what PS3 you buy, you'd be spending with the game about $340~ starting?
PS2s are reasonably price, though, and the games are cheap. So that's be like $250...
It really depends on what system has more games you want to play. If it were me I'd go with the PS3 and the HD collection because all of the new additions are fantastic.
Also don't feel pressured into buying a PS3 right now. I waited until Black Friday of 2012 to get my PS3 on sale so if you're a deal hunter, I'd wait for a good sale time.
Well, I have a store that has used games and consoles. I think they might have used PS3s there, but I have to check. I'm probably going to get a PS3 that's used. I mean, I used to have a PS2 slim, but I sold it. And, the game will probably be coming to Gamestop. I'd probably wait a few weeks to get it used as I did for my Kingdom Hearts 3DS and also my 3DS. My 3DS was like $140 or $120 something dollars or in-between there.
I agree with Master Spockanort, my friend got a PS3 on Black Friday as opposed to getting a used one. Black Friday sales are amazing. This last year there was a sale for $250 for a PS3 Slim and 2 games with it. If you got the HD collection for $290, you're getting the best Sony hardware on the current market right now with 2 free PS3 games and the HD collection. :)
I'm assuming it's the fourth image.
Look at how out of place Sora is here.(right click, open new tab cause the forums absolutely hates images)
Nope. Its further down. So rou're both wrong.
Anyway theyll reuse utadas song in the openings.
As for used vs sale time, there are places that only sell used productd that really work and have the manuals so you still cant really go wrong there.
Well I do see a beta image in KH BBS (the one with just Terra) and KH 358/2 Days (the one with the Genie)
Yeah, I saw a used PS3 on Gamestop for $199.99 dollars.
Well I do see a beta image in KH BBS (the one with just Terra) and KH 358/2 Days (the one with the Genie)
The BBS one is from the game when he is looking at young Riku and Sora.

Really? I guess that cutscene was gonna be pre-rendered like some of the other important ones but they decided against it by the time of release.

They probably ran out of room. There was also a pre-rendered cutscene featuring Saix and Axel outside of Memories Skyscraper that was cut.
Also, I believe they downgraded some facial models too...

And it was also the one I spotted. I did not think the Terra one was deleted from BBS cuz he does go to Destiny Islands, but there is no FMV with the Genie. So Congrats Dokemon! You Got it!

Really? Is there a screen for that scene?
also, the facial models might not have been downgraded, well I actually see that it might've been. I'll boot up my emulator to see.
Anyway, I cant see why the Genie was so important enough to be prerendered. maybe they planned some of these scenes for all the Disney worlds, but ran out of room and cut all but the elite of important scenes and made the rest in-game. I can see why they cut Axel/Saix as they already have that subplot well represented in several other conversations and additions.
maybe, just maybe, some of these scenes have been done for 1.5, but I doubt it since aside from a couple useful bits that may not even have been planned, the story flows well without them.
Really? Is there a screen for that scene?
I dunno. All I know is it's from January 2009.
too bad. I'm always fascinated when deletions serface in some form or another that's more significant than say Roxas meeting Genie.
I thought the scene at Memory Skyscraper was just moved to the Hall of Empty Melodies. The dialogue was the same right?
too bad. I'm always fascinated when deletions serface in some form or another that's more significant than say Roxas meeting Genie.
I would say Roxas meeting Genie in Days is quite significant. Interacting and connecting with others is the primary source of nuturing your own heart, remember?
Not to mention it is one of the very few interactions (besides Phil in Olympus) he has with characters outside the Organisation.
Makes me wonder how many of the actual Disney world scenes will be added into the movie.

But that wasnt significant then. And he already had vens heart which probably immensely helped the process.

I could imagine quite a few, also to give some variation from the countless clocktower scenes and "worrying about Xion"-monologues.
From the bits I remember from Days there were quite some interesting interactions between Roxas and Xigbar in Agrabah as well as with Xaldin in Beast's castle, besides the obvious small scenes with Genie and Phil.
But that wasnt significant then. And he already had vens heart which probably immensely helped the process.
Huh? Didn't you ever think about that those things could have been built into the game for foreshadowing exactly such a later development? The Organisation members were ordered not to talk with inhabitants of other worlds. For that one, I would wonder if they do the scenes of the "Day off" where Roxas meets Hayner and the gang.
I won't deny that Ven's heart played a big role in indirectly nurturing Roxas' heart, as he went from the biggest "zombie" and youngest Nobody to develop true emotions and an own sense of self in astounding speed, yet him being acknowledged by others as his own entity
It was even lampshaded by Joshua:
"By ourselves we're no one. It's when other people look at us and see someone... that's the moment we each start to exist."
So while Ven's heart (and Roxas' direct connection to Sora) surely sped up the process, it would not be all that was needed.
In this light, including those small scenes with the Disney characters would make very much sense.
Well, I have finally migrated away from SD forever! I got a new HDTV for Christmas, and I finally got my PS3 hooked up with HDMI instead of S-video cables. The difference is extraordinary! I can't wait to see how KH1FM HD looks on this TV :D
My only sadness is that we probably wont see KH2FM and BBSFM HD for a while now D:
KH1FM is my favorite, but those two would be awesome on my new TV, and unfortunately it looks like we will have to wait another year for it :/ I'm so sick of waiting on things from Square lol, but the payoff is always worth it.

I knew that exactly. What im saying is that meeting the genie alone wasnt really a key scene in the story the game was trying to tell. And it was made an ingame scene rather than an fmv. Not that any of the interactions werent important. Genies just happened the least and seem to be the least important of those interactions.

Your not quite done yet. Tvs are setup by manufacturers to sell but content is made to look the same on all sets. Youll need to calibrate the picture to make it look its best. Professional is best there but there are blu rays that exist solely for diy calibration. Trust me its worth it!
Still cant stop watching this trailer. I want to learn Japanese just for this game. The japanese voices just see, so much better then the english ones do.
yeah but I dont know how japanese voice acting is judged in japan so I'm sticking with english.
and yeah, what I just said sounds weird to me toolol

Really I think just the opposite. The English version gives me the authentic voices since most people in these iconic movies return to reprise their role. And I loved Aqua's english voice TBH.

Sony sells the PS3 super slim Black Friday bundle for $250 on their official site. The cheapest price for new PS3s I've seen online. If you're resilient though you can try and hunt for the Black Friday bundle at Toys R Us for the original $200 price point. I would never get used consoles for you don't know if it fully works and of course THE ROACHES!
Sometimes used consoles have dlc on them. When I got my 3DS it had all the games early adopters got for free.

Yeah the Japanese voices are great, but I personally think the English ones are also pretty good. I like them a whole lot better then the German ones I have on my KH1 & KH2. I really hope if EU gets the Remastering they don't bring back the dubs or at least give us the option to choose.

I actually hope for all languages that were recorded to be an option in the NA and EU versions. You have 25-50GB and not all those games will use the space up. PUT ALL THE VOICES AND SUBTITLES IN IT SE

That would be cool too. That way I could have my English dub and those that want to have the other dubs could. It could theoretically also give the game some what more replay value if you wanted to experience it in another language.
Really I think just the opposite. The English version gives me the authentic voices since most people in these iconic movies return to reprise their role. And I loved Aqua's english voice TBH.
I completely agree when it comes to all of the Disney voices and some of the original characters (not all though), and since the Disney cast makes up more than half the character, I much prefer to hear their original voices. Don't get me wrong, the Japanese voices are overall slightly better for nearly all of the original cast and by far for every FF character, but the Japanese Disney voices cannot compete with the original English voices imo.
Hmm, the disney character voices i prefer in english along with ansem and any other xehanort. And i agree with Jadentheman, Aquas english voice was perfect. But theres something about the japanese voices of Namine Xion and Roxas that just feel, right. Cant tell you how many times I've replayed the three scenes in this trailer where Namine from CoM tells Sora to look deep for that special memory and the one where she talks to Riku in Days; the very first days scene where Xion says she wishes things could stay this way, and the scene where Roxas confronts Axel about Sora.
