It's been a long wait, but the first English trailer for Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- has finally been released!
SQUARE ENIX today released a new trailer for KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX from the recent Jump Festa event that took place in Japan. Picking up from where KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX ends, the trailer features fan-favorite characters like Sora, Roxas, Riku and Naminé alongside the Disney cast including Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Hercules, King Mickey, Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean) and others – now in stunning high-definition graphics.
There are also a total of 13 new screenshots which you can view below, courtesy of Square Enix.

TnT I see they didn't bother to fix the "why did he pick you" line in kh2.....
Because they'd rather spend time working on other things?
*rolling around* why am i going out right NOW
Because they'd rather spend time working on other things?
Yeah because 2.5 wasn't one of those things.
Yeah because 2.5 wasn't one of those things.
Why would they change recorded lines?
Yeah because 2.5 wasn't one of those things.
Chaser is referring to how there are other priorities within 2.5, not other priorities asides 2.5.
The English Kingdom Hearts Facebook page just posted this
"Big Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX news will be coming in 2014, but until then, we've got a new trailer and a bunch of awesome screenshots to cap off the end of 2013! What are you looking forward to seeing the most next year from Kingdom Hearts?"
Simultaneous release of 2.5 in English speaking countries and Japan anyone?

I doubt it. Square Enix has this reputation for putting out English and Japanese trailers at the same time, but throwing the release dates all over the year.
Glad to have a clear trailer. I think it looks nice, especially in BBS.
Those press screenshots are probably inaccurate, keep that in mind though
No longer pointed, best improvement yet~
The difference is very noticeable when compared like that.
Personally, I think Xehanort has had the biggest improvement in BBS so far. Dem wrinkles and crows feet.
Just imagine his hand gestures in HD.
I hope I don't need to be worried that they took out the "Final Mix" in both titles' names for the English trailer...
No need for worry. The blog posts and press release I got states it is the Final Mix versions.

Ah, alright then :) That's good to hear! I did see that they kept Sora's Santa costume in at the end of the trailer, but I was still a bit nervous...
The Final Mix's should be exciting stuff!
Okay, we're going to be trying something new here, so hopefully this will work. Please bear with us if everything fails miserably.

Yeah, it's odd that they specifically removed it from the trailer. I wonder why.

If this works, it could be the best thing ever! Shame it's taking a long time ;A;

If only the game were in 3D we could actually feel like he was touching us inappropriately!
On a side note, I do wonder what that "big news" is considering we know it'll be released in 2014 so it won't be a release date, my best bets are:
1) A CE (like with 1.5)
2) Simultaneous release (I know SE has a history of releasing it late, but hey, so did Pokemon and then look what they did with X/Y).
Nice of them to provide an English trailer! I expect the game to be released in September fitting I.5's trend. Because why not release the game in the Summer. Why choose the most marketable season to release a game. Etc etc... /constantly-releasing-localized-games-seasons-apart-rant. I exaggerate, but yeah.
Don't get me wrong, I am excited as ever for this game. Birth by Sleep, specifically, as I can't wait to play on the big screen, and it looks awesome.

Fall is actually really profitable for video games, probably more than Summer. Gotta get that holiday swag
That BBS gameplay made me feel tingly

Well who knows? They didn't release the II.5 release date at this years Jump Festa like they did for last years. I don't think of Square as being very traditional.
Its final mix right im %99.99 sure it is but it dosent say it is in final mix. Its properly just a mistake or something like that but some clarification

Soon, but please keep this thread about the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 trailer. Got a question about Chi, ask it in its section.
Here is the fully uncompressed trailer available for your viewing pleasure!!!
It takes a while to load, but I have it on good authority (a.k.a. blame Sign, not me) that it works fine with no lag.

The Development Team update states that the "ultimate story" will begin December 2013. There's an update scheduled to take place on the 26th, presumably to remove the Christmas content, so it's assumed everything will be done there.
If you have further questions about this particular piece of news, please discuss it in this thread.

/sarcasm
Sounds Awesome! cant wait!
This is what I missed during my two-hour flight? I wish there was Wi-Fi on board the plane because my mobile data can't seem to handle the epicness that is 2.5 English trailer in HD.
I'll have to wait until I reach home to watch, but thank you for this piece of news!
So glad to see some BBS gameplay. Here are some screenshots I took.
They look so glorious! Dat Ultima cannon, dat Aqua!! <3
Salvation in HD! I see the light! Those are just amazingly pleasing to the eyes!
I CANNOT CONTAIN MY HYPE. IT IS THROUGH THE ROOF.
I do wonder what this "Big News" that Square is talking about is. My guess is probably the Limited Edition, and I sure hope that it's exactly the same as the 1.5 one. I'm totally cool with buying a LE and a standard copy of the game again, cause I like funding KH.

You're always hypeful, aren't you? :P

I don't want to get my hopes up yet, but I'll just be honest: I wish this is true, especially if it comes with an artbook that shows never-before-seen artworks and concept arts. I just hope my local game stores will carry them so I can reserve one copy at once once they have arrived.
| ... and a standard copy of the game again, cause I like funding KH. |
If I were you, I'd rather buy the Japanese and English versions of the game. XD
You're always hypeful, aren't you? :P
My hype for things is always building, in anticipation of when/if said things ever happen. And when they do, all that built up hype 'splodes.
For example, now that this has happened, my hype for the announcement of the release date of the game is building. My hype will go off again whenever that day comes. And when the box art gets unveiled. And if a LE gets announced. And so forth...
This is KH we're talking about. Literally everything is hype worthy.

I just want an artbook, really. It's my favorite thing about CE's of anything. Even if the artwork isn't all that new or anything, just having it is enough for me. I was more than pleased with the 1.5 artbook.
This was something I noticed but neglected to post here, but someone has gone and added a Keyblade comparison which I think we should all be grateful for.
Just saw the trailer in HD. Shed tears. When something makes you shed tears of joy, it concretely proves its sublimity, and may provide a heartfelt renewal of faith in this flawed world. I WEPT, as every fan should!!!
Seriously, Square Enix has hit the jackpot with Kingdom Hearts, and despite problems with their other games (post-Final Fantasy XIII), it's pretty much guaranteed they won't ever disappoint with KH. However, KH3 must be how KH2 was to its predecessor. We all felt it upon playing KH2 for the first time, and since KH3 skipped the PS3 generation, it has so many expectations to live up to. The HD ReMixes are excellent ways to reduce the fan-anxiety of the wait.

That is wonderful. Didn't even realize that Ven's keyblade was literally 2D like that in BBS. So awesome that they're fully rendering the keyblades
birth by sleep is so beautiful in HD
like seriously

That's the kind of thing that only the keenest of eyes notice. I applaud whoever it was who noticed it!
lol
Notice when the yellow "Re:Coded" screen appears, that it says "Re:Chain of Memories" in the background. Forgetting to add "Final Mix" after each playable title is also gonna make a lot of people confused, they should've avoided that.
All in all, nice trailer, I guess. They still have quite a lot of work to do with the textures, though (f.e. the stained glass at the end).

Heh, I couldn't stop looking at it. Whenever I saw the flat keyblades in the portable "trilogy", I always thought of this one time I was glitching for fun in Ocarina of Time. I was climbing around the outer rim of the Castle Grounds, and spotted that Castle Town, seen from a distance, is made up of 2D sprites. I thought it was clever how they never let you notice that by shooting it from only one such direction. That's why I always thought of that when I saw the flat keyblades. Because SquareEnix did not take that basic, 1996 precaution. In fact, they shoved it in your face! Remember when Roxas handed Xion his paper-thin Keyblade, with all these ugly low-res aliasing smudges on it? And then picked up a stick, and we were all supposed to be unimpressed by the stick, but the stick was actually 3D and not made out of construction paper? I just kept laughing.
Obviously they needed the flat keyblades for network play, but here, in single player mode, SE's artists and modellers were able to shine.
With a stick.
One of my favourite unintentionally funny moments.
I think I've been fairly positive about this trailer so far, but honestly there was one thing that let me down (aside from Belle's neutral face when being attacked).
The noses on some of these characters. It's off putting. When Riku is at the computer in Re:coded, his nose is like a different shade to the rest of his face. (I was going to get angry at Terra's face in the screenshots, but on closer inspection, it's not as bad as I first thought).
Also, despite being completely wrong, the words "Final Mix" are present behind "Kingdom Hearts II" and "Birth by Sleep". It's easier to see in the latter as it's up to the right, but for KHII it's more of a really large background word and you can just see like "MIX".

Ok, let's just hope that they just forgot to add Final Mix to those titles^^
It would be horrible if we don't get the Final Mixes.
And i hope that Kingdom Hearts 2 will have the original german sync because it is way better than the english sync (don't get me wrong, the english sync is great too but i just like the german version more^^).
I was disappointed by the missing german sync from the KH 1.5 Kingdom Hearts 1 Version.

Lol yeah, i saw it after watching the trailer for the second time.
By the way, merry christmas at all!
I haven't played KH2 in a while. What does Roxas mean by "Why did he pick you?", and why would it need fixing?

It's a mis translation, Roxas was referring to Sora's Keyblade as 'it' not he. In other words, why did the Keyblade choose Sora, not why a person choose him.

Exactly, somehow they mixed up "it" for "he" in translation. (wished they'd fix it)
Exactly, somehow they mixed up "it" for "he" in translation. (wished they'd fix it)
It probably stemmed from the lack of topic in Roxas' original line.
Oshiete kure, omae ga erabareta wake o.
This translates into something along the line of "Tell me the reason you were chosen." See, there was no topic specified by Roxas; what or whom was Sora chosen by? This might have caused some confusion on the translators' part since they might not have truly understood the context of the sentence, given the relative brevity of the confrontation between Sora and Roxas.
Anyway, it's not too much an issue. Bugging, perhaps, but well, at least we know that Roxas was meaning to ask why Sora was chosen by the Keyblade.
If there's anyone still doubting the fact that Western territories are getting the Final Mix versions, just go to the 2.5 website. All three logos for the games that are included in 2.5 are there and KH2FM and BBSFM's logos are there, bright as day. They're the Final Mixes guys. The trailer is just inaccurate. But Chaser is right. "Final Mix" is in super huge letters, faded into the background behind KH2 and BBS in the trailer.

I see, thanks for clearing it up!

Most of the Keyblades unfortunately suffered the same treatment, so it's great that they're actually solid now.
An English trailer?! What a nice pre-Christmas present!

Didn't II have a few name misspellings as well? I hope that gets fixed.

They followed up on that nicely with a meaty interview with Nomura in Famitsu about 2.5, 3 and KHx~ Merry Christmas!
| This does make me question as to why they couldn't just translate it to that or to "Tell me... why were YOU chosen?" These days though I kinda like the little oops in translation. It gives me a good laugh. Didn't II have a few name misspellings as well? I hope that gets fixed. |
Yeah, like everyone's favorite mistake: BLEIG.

Ugh, I forgot about Bleig...the one I always remember from KH2 is that in Olympus Coliseum they labeled the plaque as being for the Phil Cup and the smallest trophy as being for the Pegasus Cup. Even though, you know, they were the opposite in KH1...
That uncompressed trailer made my brain dance. :O
So...at the end of the trailer, they show a KH2 FM scene. Does that mean they're going to dub the FM scenes in English this time? I mean, the actors' current voices don't differ at all when compared to KH2.

I think whatever was voiced in PS2 KH2FM would be voiced in PS3 KH2FM for consistency's sake. That would probably include the FM-exclusive scenes and CO-crew Organization member battles.
Was that scene really from the FM? I can't remember what they added there, but I thought they just put in the battle, not extra cutscenes.

The only scenes that won't be voiced will be the FM exclusive scenes, I'm sure. Just like in KHFM on 1.5, there'll be English subtitles but no voice acting during those scenes.

No, you're correct. The playable Roxas battle is the only FM exclusive part.
The only scenes that won't be voiced will be the FM exclusive scenes, I'm sure. Just like in KHFM on 1.5, there'll be English subtitles but no voice acting during those scenes.
That can't be said for certain. KH2FM actually had the FM scenes voiced in Japanese whereas KH1FM did not.

Well, seeing as the KH2 voice actors can still reproduce their KH2 voices (unlike KHFM in 1.5), it IS possible.

Considering I'll probably be disappointed with the CE like I was with 1.5, I hope the big news is online...that would seriously be probably the best thing they could announce right now for me.

Implying that if one did not shed tears that they aren't a fan? IDK about that <___< [/sarcasm] but seriously...I didn't shed a tear, should I just give up my whole KH collection right now lol?
Exactly, somehow they mixed up "it" for "he" in translation. (wished they'd fix it)
NOPE! Official confirmation, keyblades have genders!!! I hope Destiny's Embrace is a female :)
Well, seeing as the KH2 voice actors can still reproduce their KH2 voices (unlike KHFM in 1.5), it IS possible.
They didn't even voice those scenes for the Japanese release of 1.5 so I think it was a universal decision to just retain them the way they originally were. With KH2FM having always been voiced, there really is no reason NOT to voice the scenes in English.

You ARE referring to the scenes that were silent in KH2FM right? Cause I still have my imported PS2 copy of KH2FM and I remember there being several scenes that were just subtitles and moving lips with no dialogue.

Can you please list the scenes that were silent?
Can you please list the scenes that were silent?
The one that immediately comes to mind is that one in The Castle That Never Was, where Xemnas goes into the Chamber of Repose to talk to Aqua's armor. There's an exchange between Xigbar and... Saix, I think. When Xigbar speaks, no sound comes out of his mouth and the subtitles are entirely in Japanese. And when Xemnas talks to Aqua's armor, there's no sound.
There are others, but that's the one I always remember.

They're all voiced though?
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
I distinctly remember...
DAFUQ is wrong with my memory?
They aren't voiced in English. Maybe that is what has you confused?

In my apparently unreliable memory, I recall watching that very scene. But it was silent and the subtitles were in Japanese. And that's what has me confused. Wasn't KH2FM released the same way that KHFM was, where they take the English version of the game, add all the new content, and use Japanese subtitles?
Because KH2FM has Japanese subtitles. Unless there's an option to switch the language that I don't know about?
Gah. My brain.
There's voices when you listen to it in Japanese in theatre mode then?
I knew it! I'm not insane.
[video=youtube;e6_hwVoOu48]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6_hwVoOu48[/video]
Doesn't nullify the fact they recorded voices for it and added it to the game, therefore increasing the chances of the FM scenes getting english voices.

I hope so. I didn't really mind the voiceless scenes with Riku in KHFM. It fit the mood, cause they were supposed to be kinda dark. And his mouth doesn't really move much. It's mostly just his thoughts as text on screen.
But with these scenes, it would be really weird for them not to be voiced. Hopefully, they will be.
There's voices when you listen to it in Japanese in theatre mode then?
Yeah, that's what it is. I have the game as well, so I can confirm they are silent in the main game, but they are voiced in theater mode when you switch it to Japanese. So since this one will be fully in Japanese in Japan, those scenes will obviously be voiced from the get go, so I would really hope they will record them in English as well now.
And then the new scenes in the Secret episode in BBS:FM are just spoken in Japanese from the start, so I expect those would also be voiced in the English version.

Forgot about those. That also reminds me of something. Now that we know for certain that the secret episode in BBSFM will be included on 2.5, I wonder how that whole BBS Volume 2 thing is going to play out. I'm sure they won't touch it, aside from translating it/voice acting it, but I'm still wondering if it won't confuse a lot of people.
please SE give us the release date already!:cool:
please SE give us the release date already!:cool:
I predict that we'll get the release date as well as the boxart sometime in January or February. I'm only speaking for Japan though. They usually just announce the Western release date without warning, so that could happen any time after Japan's date is announced.
Unless they decided to release them at the same time lol never gonna happen k I'm going to go cry now
Actually, do you guys think they'll even keep the BbSv2 cutscene in 2.5? Considering at the moment the idea isn't being followed up on as far as we know, I don't know if SE wants to send the wrong message to fans who either don't know about it and get hyped from it or fans who thought that it was scrapped but seeing the trailer again view it as confirmation.

They might remove it, but might as well remove Aqua's realm of Darkness section since it not only shows a new boss, but it did still lead to 3D and KH3. They could redo it so it official leads to 3D.
Personally, I was always under the impression that the BBS Volume 2 thing was a trailer for DDD, but "BBS Volume 2" was the original name for it. However, a lot of people on here have told me that was incorrect, and that BBS Volume 2 was going to talk more about what happened in the events direct leading up to the first KH. Personally, I don't understand why that story would need to be told though. We know what happened, or at least the gist of it, from the various reports and such in each game that tell us about Terra-Xehanort's experiments when he had amnesia. We don't need a whole game about that.
I wouldn't mind, assuming they decide to remaster DDD, if they tweaked that secret ending and changed it to a hint for DDD instead. It would make more sense.

Well, here's the thing, we don't know exactly what BBS v.2 would have consisted of had it become a thing or what kind of game it'd be. If the trailer we were shown is anything to go by, BBS 2 would have been a glimpse of all the untold perspectives of Kingdom Hearts. Riku's time in Days, Kairi's time in KH2, Donald and Goofy before they met Sora, the King in the Dark Realm. The concept alone makes it probably one of KH's biggest what-ifs.
3D, however, was a project that took Nomura by surprise. It wasn't the "Mystery Game" he'd been developing during BBS.

Reasons why it sucks so much it got shelved before even becoming anything. ;-;
It seems to me that the title "Blank Points" is more applicable to this hypothetical scenario. :P

Yeah, while it seems from this point that BbSv2 wasn't completely necessary, it essentially would have filled in all the blank points in the series we still don't know about. Aqua's time in the RoD among all those listed above. To me it would have been awesome if we got to play as all these different characters and I honestly would have loved to see how the story played out with so many focuses on different characters. Not to mention the chance to play as Aqua again...
Regarding BBSv2; it would have theoretically covered a lot of gaps in the series and probably would have tied everything together so we could move forward to KH3 with fewer questions.
The "mystery title" that Nomura used to mention (which was not DDD nor BBSv2) was the game that had its plot integrated into DDD, so there is still a story for BBSv2 out there that we have yet to experience.
I forever cry over how beneficial this would have been for the series.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
I distinctly remember...
DAFUQ is wrong with my memory?
If you have a completed save file from Re: Chain of Memories, you can watch every KHIIFM cutsecene in japanese.
Go into Theater Mode and press (if I remember correctly, it's been a few years since the last time I watched Theater Mode properly,) R2 and L2 to switch between 英語 (english) and 日本語 (japanese)
Yeah, like everyone's favorite mistake: BLEIG.
I believe those mispelled names were all corrected for the PAL version, so if SE use that one as basis, their names should all be corrected though.
That is a main reason why I'm missing a NA version of KHII for my KHII comparison thread...

I come from PAL and I can confirm that is was Bleig.
yes Aqua in HD! :cool: i simply cant wait!
I hope Nomura will add another cutscene replacing BBS volume 2, maybe a short video where we see Mickey finding Kingdom Key D and Aqua in Realm o f Darkness! And some piece of Xehanort opening the door with the keyblade(?).

I'd be okay with that. I mean, given they will probably already be getting Willa back in the recording studio for the Secret Episode in English, I could see them recording something else with her there...but that would just be for the English version if anything..

I wouldnt mind this either. That way we could firget what never was TnT
I really hope they voice the FM scenes in English. I also like the fact that they are adding more scenes to Re:Coded so as to give it more content.

They would need to. They are voiced in Japanese so no way would they leave them unvoiced in English. In KH1FM, the additions scenes were unvoiced in both versions so it made sense.

So do I, hopefully we get an actual fight scene.

We are. If you read the news on our website, you would know that 5 days ago, Nomura did an interview where it's reported that in Re:coded, "Battle scenes and new scenarios have been added."

[strike]*is one of the infamous members that comes straight to the forum*[/strike] That's good!
I'm just gonna be pumped to finally play Final Mix of both versions, and the fact that BBS will be on big screen instead of the dinky PSP will be marvelous. Also the fact that my PSP is crap..will be nice not to have to deal with that.
^ Couldn't agree more. I have always wished BBS was ps2 like it was intended to be cause of psp hassle.
Yeah, and the fact that if you didn't want long pauses in the game when fighting you had to download data and whatever -_- so annoying.
I come from PAL and I can confirm that is was Bleig.
Hunh... I don't know what to say but...
I come from PAL and I can confirm that it was indeed Braig.
Are you 100% certain that it says Bleig on your version?
I know you are in Australia, but I have a hard time imagining that SE would change the versions between the European and the Australian markets. Hmmm....
Now I'm having doubts. I did give my PAL copy to my friend a while ago, but does it have the Somebody names under Xigbar's character description?
I don't think it did, but I shall have to check when I get home tonight.
these trailers make me want to cry like a fat baby :)
