The return of PASSION orchestra!

Darn it, I was hoping for PS4. I dont want to buy a PS3 just to play this :/ Either way, im pumped!!

Awesome and Passion from the menu trailer makes it all good.

We did it guys, WE MADE IT.

Birth by Sleep FINAL MIX HD YESSSSSSS!!!

Thank you for uploading!!! Oh my gosh, it is beautiful!!!

It's funny 'cause I like paused HD 1.5 as I was getting to Neverland thinking "ho dee ho I'll just check in on KHI for no reason whatsoever" and then WHAT A TRAILER

And I'll say it again. Passion Orchestra. Square should pretty much just use it for all their trailers, for every game.

Picking up after KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX, players will be able to continue on their adventures with Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy, and also explore the origins of the KINGDOM HEARTS series with characters Terra, Aqua and Ventus all with gorgeous high-definition visuals and enhanced gameplay mechanics. KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX will provide fans with the chance to replay the games of the celebrated franchise, and also lead into the highly anticipated KINGDOM HEARTS III, which is set to be released on the Playstation 4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft.

damn, that was a good [insert thing here]

They went to all the effort of putting up subtitles, I wonder if it really would have been that hard to just include the translated audio. I'm sure some fan will have a version like that up in no time.

Still, it was lovely. Especially like the usage of Aqua's line there.

All the Final Mixes will now be available in English, in HD, on PS3.

All my dreams are coming true :)

Uchiyama was right about him sounding girly. He sounds like Romi Park.

And now we play the waiting for KH2.5

So do you guys think the music, at least for KH2FM and the few original pieces in Re:coded, will be remastered? I loved that little treat in the 1.5 ReMix, but I've heard that they only redid it because they lost the assets for KHFM's music, and of course Days had a pretty low quality OST to begin with being on DS and all that. Though it is odd that they remastered Lord of the Castle, but nothing else for Re:CoM...

Digressing, music remastering for II.5! Yes or no? Possible?

Yoko wants to remaster the music for 2.5. She's more than happy to.

She had one single day to remaster all the music in KH 1.5?

Daaaaang, she truly is a goddess!

Damn you Nomura...how about you leave Yoko some room to breathe, lol.

An entire soundtrack in one day...marvelous.

I didn't think it sounded bad at all though. It sounded magnificent in comparison to before!

Just wish she was able to do all the music in Re:CoM too instead of just the final boss theme. Ah well

Its not that she had one day to compose the songs, they just had one day with the actual orchestra to RECORD them :)

I'm still wondering what cutscenes the Re:coded movie will shell out, because you could propbably squeeze it all in half an hour, hopefully SE makes a it more of a real movie this time around.
Birth by Sleep looks gorgeous with the updated textures and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix is a no-brainer.

I don't have giving up hope on a Dream Drop Distance port yet, after the release of 2.5 ReMiX there is still time before KHIII gets finally hits the shelves so it could get its own remake.

I'm so excited, I can finally play BBS for the first time when 2.5 is released, yay! :D

Promotional images released earlier today.

No PS4 release...




Oh how I hope Gaikai doesn't end up being a flop.

YES! What I've been waiting for!! I hope Squenix releases the Kingdom Hearts III clip soon though..

Oh my *0*

KH2 is just too much fun *-----*

finall i can play BIRTH VY SLEEP on the big screen. And it better include aqua dark realm chapter. And all the delted scean of kh2. And multiplayer options. And it needs to be on ps4.

Did anyone noticed the PSN Logo at the end of the trailer next to the PS3 logo?
Does that mean that there will be a online mode or stupid DLC's? :O

So, who thinks they're going to make Mirage Arena an online thing?

Personally, I find it more likely that they'll scrap the online idea and just make it a single player world. However, the idea of implementing online multiplayer is a big marketing ploy nowadays, so it may actually serve in their favor to make it online.

At the same time, online multiplayer has become something of a gimmick these days ever since developers thought it was mandatory to have an online mode after it became so popular, and thus people aren't instantly sold on a game if it includes online. So, it could go either way.

I am really looking forward to this! 1.5 has really been fun and I can only imagine this will be more of same.

I had a ton of fun playing Mirage Arena online with other friends (both the arena modes and the verses modes) so I really hope they make a return in this. In fact, I actually remember one of the only problems I had with BBS' multiplayer was that it was local-only, so you couldn't just play with whoever you wanted to. This could fix that issue if they choose to keep the multiplayer.

I have no idea if they will or not considering this is just an HD collection. Probably not, but it would be awesome if they did.

Maybe it's just me or maybe I just haven't seen KH2 or Re:Coded in awhile, but those promotional images look nice, but I don't see too much of a difference compared to their original versions (I can see some though). BbS though YES!!!! Those graphics (even if they aren't as good as they will end up) are amazing, though that one obvious kink in Aqua's arm-dress-thing is getting to me.

IDK cause more time to play as Aqua!!!!!!

On a side note, I'm very curious what will happen with Mirage Arena, I guarantee you if it isn't online, it will hurt the game since I bet most people are expecting it given on the PSP it had it. Not just Mirage Arena but the Command Board just isn't all that fun playing alone (sure it's fun to start to unlock everything but after you get everything, without people to play it with, there is no draw to replay it with AIs...at least not for me). I did get the chance to play it online with KHi members through the PSP + PS3 system which was fun so I definitely hope it returns and while I know it won't happen, I'd enjoy certain commands not be so broken <_<

I could get a PS3 for this and 1.5, but my plans are to get a 2DS to keep up with the handhelds I missed :U oh well. what matters is IT'S HAPPENING

They have everything to gain if they add an online mode for Mirage Arena. SE is aware of the huge pull multiplayer games have...If they want to grab more people, I think this would be the perfect addition. Also since you can adhoc and get it online for the PSP version, they might as well just make a proper system for it.

(ALSO IT BETTER HAVE PSP TO PS3 SAVE BONUS LIKE BBS TO BBSFM DID. If you had a BBS clear save file, BBSFM gave you awards for the trophies you had obtained. Also in example, MGS:PW let people use their PSP save for the PS3 version. All I want is the same feature as the PSP games did.)

Woot! So, so excited for this! KHIIFM (that might as well have been its own game), BbSFM for PS3, and Re:Coded cutscenes! It's a dream come true! And sort of flattering that we fans were able to guess all of this. LOL.

I wonder what's happening with 3D though... I guess we'll know soon enough.

Also... Might I just say it was bloody brilliant to open with the "looks like my summer vacation is over" line? And then we all shed another collective tear there, but of joy this time. LOL.

Also, I really appreciate how they used Aqua's line for this trailer. I always liked that segment of her tale in BbS, and it summarized the overall story of the game pretty well.

Plus, sadly, those children did live out their lives, and in this very collection, no less! Me wonders if that's part of the reason they put BbS in II.5 instead of I.5.

And.. was that one line about Nobodies new for the trailer? I don't remember that at all. Was that Roxas talking?

Well this certainly brightened up my day. xD I just hope it's not a six month wait between releases again. :/

YES YES YES YES, the game people petitioned for, KH 2 final mix in NA!

Thank GOD this is coming out on the PS3! I was kind of annoyed that KHIII was for the PS4, because that'd mean I'd bought the PS3 for ONE GAME. Now I'm kind of okay with it, because TWO FINAL MIXES ON THE PS3, hells yeah.

Dat bicep.

Maybe well get a shirtless Terra to play as for DLC......When pigs fly. Maybe we'll also get a scene where he declares his love for Aqua and propses that Ven become thier surrogate son......When Hell freezes over.

Terra looks very manly there (and hotter too). Aqua looks bluer as well. Ven's eyebrow is visible too.

@gamerobber7 True enough. LOL. And really, I knew that was the reason, but it certainly doesn't hurt marketing that it works so well for that marketing, either;)

@Sign Thank you for the clarification, Sign! Now that you mention it, I remember Sora saying that now. I really need to replay KHII again... LOL.

And OMG. Did Sora's line actually work pretty well in summarizing a trailer for once?! XD (You know, since Nomura said it's sometimes hard to make KH trailers because of some of Sora's lackluster lines?)

@MATGSY Holy crap. They did change Terra's bicep, huh? It looks a lot better now, honestly. In fact, I didn't even realize how anatomically weird it originally looked until now. I don't think I'm going to be able to look at Terra's original model the same again... I'm so glad they fixed that.

Here's a dubbed version of the trailer, and it's JUST AS GOOD OH MY GOD
[video=youtube;XXLRtSlxEQE][/video]

I don't get how anyone can dislike Willa's performance. Seriously.

What was the song arrangement for this video? :3

The Orchestrated version of Passion/Sanctuary. It was featured in the menu trailer for Kingdom Hearts II but hasn't gotten much love since, =(.

I just hope i can beat 1.5 before this comes out. I can't wait for Birth by Sleep again. I remember playing on my PSP and just thinking that it deserves to be on a console.

Holy Crap, I felt my intelligence violated reading YouTube comments about why wasn't this available for Xbox. WTF? KH 1.5 HD Remix was not available for that format, either, so please tell me what's the big deal? I swear, the sheer idiocy and madness within the fandom. I guess the cry babies are resorting to infantile temper tantrums for not getting these releases on the OTHER consoles they bought.

Let us make the wise note that Sony is paying more attention to KH3 than Microsoft is, taking their time to promote it and do interviews with Nomura. Also most people are hyped for the PS4 version :3

...Is it too late to hope for a PS4 release?


Sure, their wouldn't be a gap in graphics, but the possibility of having the game run at 60fps over the PS3's inevitable 30 is too good to pass down.

Urg.

Finally! 2.5~ Aqua and fm in glorious HD. <3

Yes, the important thing is that Aqua will be in HD. Don't worry, gurl, soon Sora will get you out of the Realm of Darkness soon......Meanwhile, the audience and viewers will get to see your suffering/loss and galloping around....in HD!

I think fans start to get what they deserve after all that wait they've been through. One could simply say that they are re-releasing all this just to get some profit right before KH3 (Doesn't matter, had KH), but the the price is quit low for a game to contain 3 games, all in HD.
And the whole idea of it getting released right before KH3 its just so perfect. Because, after years of jumping from one game to another was quite a 'complicated'' story. And now we get everything packed together right before the storm.
I already own KH 1.5 even though i havent played it yet. And as soon as KH 2.5 gets released i will put both of the games,side by side on my shelf and wait for the perfect opportunity (Quite busy, studying), to get lost right into them.

No PS4 port which is a shame since I will skipping a PS3. Hopefully later

Also why was that commercial in Japanese since an English one could easily have been made. Oh well. Lol at the beginning disclaimer like you already had all that stuff in English don't lie to me Square. Plus the subtitles don't match the real localized English lines.

I really like the trailer. BBSFM looks really good I can't wait to play it on the PS3 especially the secret episode that we never got. I'm really curious to find out if it'll feel any different playing BBS on a home console instead of a hand held.

Please come out on ps4! Please!

I'm just looking forward to seeing Kairi cute face... in HD!!! I could use an HD update to my wallpaper :3



This one specifically *Fanboys*

Oooh! Another one for my collection! ;3

I wonder how many times I said that 3D would NOT be in it?
I'm happy about all of it, though. Final Mixes~

I am so looking forward to fighting Roxas and the other organization members in HD plus KH 2 final mix hada lot more extra features than the first. But I have a question will it be similar to Kingdom Hearts where the cut scenes will be muted and just contain subtitles? Because I know that KH2 final mix had a lot more extra scenes than KH. I hope they can dub it but I doubt it :/
