YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT CAT THING CONFUSED ME
That summary was so vague. I thought he was talking about Chirithy because IT IS THE EXACT SAME BREED OF CAT.
*sobbing*

I was right about the March info.
What should we expect from the "recording"? Does that refer to re:coded or something else?

Nomura owns a cat! I suppose since he can't own a lion, a cat is the next best thing.

It... never once crossed my mind that Chirithy was a cat... that's news to me.

I'm telling you, guys. There's a flood of 2.5 news coming. Can you feel it? It's there. They have it all ready to shower upon us. But there's a dam blocking all the news, and it's name is FF X/X-2 HD.
Square knows. They know everyone's waiting for 2.5 and 3 stuff. If they release that first, only the hardcore fans will give a hoot about FF X/X-2. This is marketing at its finest. Once April rolls around, maybe even the final week of March, we will get our patience rewarded :)

Yes, and I for one can't wait for everyone to fall for the inevitable stupid pranks that will emerge from that time.
Aw, Nomura's an old cat lady. Chirithi is a whole new level of self-insert.

I hope the extra scenes are dubbed. I wonder if Xion will show up as an absent silhouette and replica data.
[PLAIN]Re: Nomura Interview: HD 2.5 ReMIX Recording Complete + Scenarios from ?[chi]![/PLAIN]
Darn, was hoping he'd be a dog person... that kinda ruined my thoughts about Tetsuya Nomura.... regardless, I hope we see a Chi english translation soon. I've been kinda log in-log out in that game since stories are the only thing besides costume customization that interest me in a game.
[PLAIN]Re: Nomura Interview: HD 2.5 ReMIX Recording Complete + Scenarios from ?[chi]![/PLAIN]
Glad we finally got some shred of news. I guess it makes sense considering the early months tend to be dry of information for any game, especially with the X/X-2 HD Remaster looming over.
Anyway, since that we know that the dubbing is finished in regards of Japanese audio, how soon do you guys think it'll take for them to finish recording in English?

It's hard to say. The Re:coded scenes are the real mystery. I'm sure they've learned from 358/2 Days and tried to make it less disjointed, but we don't really know for sure what they've added and what they haven't. And we also have to factor in everyone's work schedules.
Overall, I don't think recording should take more than a month/month and a half.
For reference, David Gallagher had recordings scheduled throughout an entire week for all of Riku's lines in KH3D.

I remember he mentioned something along the lines of that at that one Expo he attended.
So about a month to a month-and-a-half...that sounds good.

Yeah, that was from his panel at Anime Conji 2012.
[PLAIN]Re: Nomura Interview: HD 2.5 ReMIX Recording Complete + Scenarios from ?[chi]![/PLAIN]
Recording is done already? Hells yeah hopefully we get 2.5 sooner than expected.
[PLAIN]Re: Nomura Interview: HD 2.5 ReMIX Recording Complete + Scenarios from ?[chi]![/PLAIN]
Aww, Nomura has a cat!!
Scratch that, I think he's pulling our leg. The entirety of Kingdom Hearts 3D came from his love of Nintendogs...
Anyway, it's about time we got some 2.5 news. Although, reading an aforementioned explanation of why they couldn't release any before FFX does clear things up :/
I hope they get English recording done pretty quickly, I can't wait for this game! I've had a desire to play KH2 again for a while now, and BBS is going to look absolutely stunning in HD.
[PLAIN]Re: Nomura Interview: HD 2.5 ReMIX Recording Complete + Scenarios from ?[chi]![/PLAIN]
I know it's my fault, but when I first read that headline, my heart dropped and I thought it meant KH2.5 would include scenarios from Chi (I didn't know what it meant at first until I read the thing lol).
On that note, I really hope he adds more worlds to Chi, the game is quite popular :D
[PLAIN]Re: Nomura Interview: HD 2.5 ReMIX Recording Complete + Scenarios from ?[chi]![/PLAIN]
It's not much, but boy does it feel good to finally get some news about 2.5.
I can only guess that recording means... all recording? So probably everything for Re:coded, and the orchestrated soundtracks for II and BbS that I hope will be a thing.
Of course, this might also only be the Japanese recording, too.

Best to keep your hopes down to just recording for Re:coded in Japanese.
[PLAIN]Re: Nomura Interview: HD 2.5 ReMIX Recording Complete + Scenarios from ?[chi]![/PLAIN]
Not sure why this was surprising to anyone lol. When he spoke about it like in what, December? January? He said they were doing Wonderland. If recording was linear, then they'd be like 1/3rd of the way through. Only natural that they have finished it. And I thought it was obvious they wanted to get Lightning Returns, Thief, and Final Fantasy X|X-2 out of the way before they started promoting other games that's in development (such as Enemy Front... that was really left field).
Honestly, expect some news on KH2.5 really soon. It's news on Tomb Raider 2 and Triad Wars that you should all be crying out for ;~;

Oh yeah. April 1st is going to be annoying. I can't wait for all the "Kingdom Hearts III Release Date + Collector's Edition Announced" articles to start popping up on Google that day -_-
I can't wait to watch Re:Coded. Maybe I'm getting my hopes up a bit too high, but it's the only KH game that has that three-act structure that'd work for a movie. Not to mention actual Disney voices are confirmed.. It's going to be a lot easier to swallow than Days was.
Great news but I imagine it will still be a wait since they have to HD render and re record scenes for BBSFM for the english version.

It's not limited to just BBSFM. That statement about the completed voice recording applies only for the Japanese version of 2.5.

Yes I know this, that is why I stated it would take some time to have it all completed for both versions, but specifically mentioned the english version since that is the one we are purchasing.

Agreed. The problem with Days was that it had no Disney elements in the cutscenes aside from King Mickey's conversation with Riku and the occasional shot of a Disney world such as Beast's Castle or Wonderland. I'm also hoping that there are fight scenes in II.5 as well; the battles with Saix, Xion, and Riku made the final act of the story feel incredibly incomplete and anticlimactic.

Well, you know you're in trouble when you have to get a summary of the plot elements you learned after each mission...

Yeah. Hopefully, though, we'll get scenes where the characters actually do a decent job explaining what is going on. The summaries are most likely still going to be there out of necessity, but I hope that they will be sparse compared to the Days cinematic. I want to see some actual interactions between Data-Sora and Alice, his and Hercules' fight with Cerberus with Cloud in tow, and especially Maleficent shattering the data-Keyblade. And that's not even getting into the fights with Data-Riku and Data-Roxas.
I'm also kind of hoping that they might utilize more movie quality FMV's the likes of the opening and closing credits of the numbered titles within Re:coded and Birth by Sleep.

Nomura prefers only to use Visual Works's CG movies for the opening and ending so that may be a bit of an issue.
I don't see mid-movie FMV's happening.. Not now not ever.
Besides, KHIII's assets are very high-poly, and while no-where near CGI quality, they're more detailed then the PS2 grade models we've been used to for twelve years. They take more time to make, anyway. It'll feel brand new. (Minus all the graphical hiccups and jaggies we're probably going to see because face it PS4 can't handle all that greatness AND antialiasing c'mon guys that's just unrealistic)
I keep forgetting about Re:Coded. I had to ask myself what else they would be recording other than music. I'm excited, nonetheless, but I don't think I will really feel it until E3, I guess (for the NA version that is). Actually, my PS3 was nabbed by my parents since I got my PS4. I guess I'll have to nab it back later this year.
For Re:Coded, I really frustratingly enjoyed the battles with Sora's Heartless. Seriously, I want a scene where Sora specifically says, "Bullshit" when Sora's Heartless splits into three.

In an incredibly whiny high pitched "no fair" voice. Preferably angrily throwing his blade on the ground like Roxas.

Hahahahahahahahah! That would be a hilarious callback now that I think about it.
As I mentioned earlier, I just hope that there are actual battle scenes this time around. I want to see the fights that Data-Sora has to go through and how he feels while in the heat of battle. I'm especially looking forward to how the characters are going to sound during the Data-Riku and Data-Roxas battles.

It's too bad we won't have gameplay this time around. I feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of Re: Coded, since the gameplay was the main thing to enjoy (I loved it, btw!). I would really like to at least see Sora battling, xD

Oh my god, I just imagined Sora doing that with his KH1 Voice

did u guys forget that kingdom hearts 2 had 2 language selections ? english and Japanese ? i think thats why it went quickly and all they had to do was re:coded.

Nobody did.
ohhh alright then i just thought everyone was surprised that it went quickly and they forgot it had a japanese/english select menu in the theater option anyways i hope to here more news later on this month.
Awesome! I am so excited to finally hear some news about KH HD II.5 ReMix. I am really looking forward to that game. KH II is still my most favorite in the series, out of the 7 main installments.
Hopefully a release date is announced soon.
I have been using this KH news site for many years now, but only just signed up recently. I want to share my reactions and thoughts right after I've read the updates.
:-D Thank you KHinsider!

I'm also hoping for actual fight scenes for Re:Coded but I'm not going in with my hopes up given they may keep the battle scenes the same for consistency purposes from 1.5 to 2.5. Not to mention they don't have all the time in the world and they are definitely busy enough with KH2FM and BbSFM.

I'd like to think they have added some after learning from their experiences with the Days scenes.
That might be likely. I imagine that Days the movie could sometimes seem "fragmented" to those new to the series because they were missing key battles such as against Saix and Xion. Sure, we know that a fight was going on, but we would also like to know how the battle was going on.
With the brevity of Re:coded's scenes compared to Days, I believe the team had more leeway and resources to incorporate a few of them, especially the important ones, into the movie.

It was fragmented to people who had played the game & have been fans of the series for a long time, though. It was extremely distracting, especially when you'd have to sit and read "Roxas went on a mission [here] and after he went back to HQ." because why do we care about that!? You could never get into the story because it felt like you were always missing a part of it, regardless of the lack of battle scenes.
The cute, pretty amazing story stuff in Disney worlds were reduced to those static image+text scenes...like they could have animated the stick stuff in Beast's Castle to add some flow to when Xion actually summons the Keyblade, Axel & Roxas' Neverland adventure which was, to me, a defining moment in Axel & Roxas' character growth and a great way to offset the fact Xion was going through a shit of an experience while they were flying high with pixie dust.
Okay I'm not really that excited for KH 2.5 remix (i don't have a ps3 I'm missing out on all the fun D: )
BUT
if there's one thing I'd die to see in it omg it'd be their rerecording this one scene in BBS
it was part of the opening cutscene right before the MoM exam where Terra says some vague 'wise' thing about Ven being young and Ven gets annoyed and Aqua says something like, "You two would make the weirdest brothers," or something and it's just a weird comment but it's obviously meant to be funny
because the three characters just sit and laugh
for a whole minute
the laughter is so fake they sound like they want to kill themselves
and it's not the only cheesy cutscene throughout kh but because it's an opening cutscene if you play all of BBS you'll watch it three times like the scene just gets worse and worse lmao
plus it's a pretty important scene and that part just ruins it for me because it's literally the only time you see TAV being friends after that you're just told they mean a lot to each other...i mean in Days you see tons of scenes with the seasalt trio together being dorks and building their friendship- it's believable
but because of the nature of BBS's story and how the three are pretty much separated for the whole game you only get one scene to build your whole idea of their friendship on. sure afterwards you get the wayfinder part which was cute but again....you're being told they're best friends, you don't see any chemistry between them or anything.
so yeah petition for squeenix to please please either scrap that part of the script or just give the voice actors laughing gas before recording kthnx
When it comes to voice works, I don't think they would alter anything that's already in the game. They will only do it if there are new scenes by the character X that needs dubbing, but the voice actor isn't available or no longer is. In this case, it's likely that the new voice actor would redub all the existing lines; this had happened with DiZ' character in Days the movie and I think it will happen with Namine's in KH2FM as well.
It's true that BbS' voice acting might not be the best, but there's nothing the team will do about it and not even a petition will change their mind. So yeah...
[FONT=arial]@ h.e.hassanein I'll never understand why they changed the line from: "you two fight just like you're brothers" to what we have now. Imo, the Japanese version is funnier and makes a lot more sense. Plus, Ven and Terra are supposed to be like brothers (the Journal, or whatever in BbS even says so), so Aqua's line in the English version is very off-putting and not even true. The English dub line is just very, very awkward, I think.
I also liked the "they said to bring my parents" line, as opposed to the "they said to bring two grown-ups." I thought the Japanese line was more hilarious and rang more true. And I liked the look that Terra and Aqua shared, because in a lot of ways they were like parents to Ven. And I also think the Japanese line better explains why Ven looks/sounds so disappointed when saying that. LOL.
Also, about Re:Coded, I know it would serve no purpose, but... I really want to see a cool fight against the Eliminator. I think I deserve that, seeing as how many times it terrorized me in the actual game. It could be pretty sweet, I think. (And I could so see Sora dropping his Keyblade angrily about it, and saying, "No fair!" LOL.) I wonder if those enemies might come back someday...[/FONT]

I'm interested and glad to hear this because that line just threw me. Like, what does the game think it's kidding? These three have the most familial relationship I've seen in years - including among established fictional families. In fact, their relationship being familial seems to be the point. The joke seems like it's trying to cut off some of the central premises of the game!
Sora fighting an Eliminator would be pretty funny.

Agreed. The original lines highlighted the relationships between them much better than the English lines did, at least for those two scenes.
I know the exact "laugh" you're referencing too that was in the BbS prologue and it just does sound so odd.
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep English Dub cutscenes- Prologue - YouTube
That's the laugh right there, but in all honesty, KH doesn't have a good track record with laughs lol (I could only include 2 video links so the other 3 are just links):

In fact, Kingdom Hearts has a bunch of videos pertaining to just the laughs within Kingdom Hearts, very few games can have their laughs become their own topic :P
You must have been in that dark side of Youtube again...
To be fair, though, Larxene and Vexen's laughs were of different quality; they were supposed to sound creepy and sadistic and as a result, they fit well with the character. The laugh that we heard in the prologue of BbS was just... plain awkward and flat. We lived with it, though.
Oh, and those two laughs you posted? Their 1-hour extended versions exist and they are the stuff that nightmares are made of.

This. Their laughter is supposed to go with their character and personality. It's also why the two sound the way that they do (Vexen being stereotypically evil-sounding and Larxene being that one annoying fake girl that everyone at school secretly hated). Repliku's laugh is supposed to have that same vibe as well.

I never knew those were the original quotes, they fit way more now-
These three have the most familial relationship I've seen in years - including among established fictional families.
Exactly! This actually makes sense now with the original Japanese lines because in the few scenes TAV have together two of them explicitly comment on how much of a family they are. I think this is super cute, because none of the other trios have the same familial feel to them. I wish it showed more in the English versions :(

bless your gorgeous soul for these videos- you know your day's pretty bad when only creepy japanese laugh tracks bring you up again :wink: KH is pretty awesome...only in the weirdest of ways
lol I've seen those 1-hour ones but I preferred not to post them haha As for the laughs, while I've never had a problem with Larxene's honestly, I do see why Vexen's is creepy. I know they were going for a creepy, sadistic laugh (which I think Larxene's is quite nicely fitting) I do get a perverted, joking feel from Vexen's, not so much sadistic or creepy (it's creepy because it sounds perverted and he's with a child). That is just my opinion though.
no kh 2.5 news at all during the month of april. I guess Nazo was wrong

Well E3 will be next month and we'll definitely hear something by then.
Man, I do hope so. I've been anxiously waiting for 2.5 to come out, but I doubt that it will come out this year in NA. Especially because there was a gap of 6mo between the release of 1.5 in Japan and NA. Unless...it's released on the same day worldwide, which I doubt.

It has already been confirmed to come out in America in 2014.
Watch Dogs was confirmed for Nov. 2013 and look what happened. And that's just one example. All I'm saying is, you never know.

Yes, but Watch_Dogs was also given a lengthy reason for the change in the release date. Unless SE comes flat out and says "Just kidding 2015" (which they really can't afford to do when their second half of the year is extremely vacant at the moment), we should operate on the assumption that they are still releasing it this year.
The last time we got any substantial 2.5 news was in December from Jump Festa. If the title did have to be delayed, when it was already confirmed for a worldwide 2014 release, they know to have announced and explained it by now.
If you fervently believe the game will release instead in 2015, you could entertain the rumor that it's also being released on the PS4.
But again, that is just a rumor.
2.5 is still going to be amazing, though I'm mostly interested in the scenarios for X[Chi], the hype for new content is just making me scream in excitement, oh and Tomb Raider 2 would be great also. :D
Like I said, you never know. The game being released until 2015 in NA is not a rumor, just my belief. The fact that we haven't had any "real" news (by that I mean specific release date) since December is what worries me. Btw, anybody who believes that 2.5 is coming to PS4 is just plain old retarded.

It is odd, but there's still plenty of time for this to be worked out. If the development window is still the same, II.5 could be released, in like July in Japan and then come out here six months later. It'd still technically be in 2014. The year is still new, and press season hasn't started yet.

You're old enough to know better, come on dude.

With the new management, it's really not surprising. I'd personally advise getting used to it.

And I'm sure you felt so proud of yourself after posting that.

Right, because Nomura made games announced for PS3 have NEVER been changed to PS4 before!
Yes, I do feel proud. Yes it's true that FFXV was supposed to release for ps3, but KH is Nomura's baby, I doubt he'll do anything horrible like that. Well, hopefully 2.5 is released in July in Japan like you say, but I don't know.

FFXV is his baby as well...probably even more so because he gets to have more creative control over it

Nomura's probably got more invested into final fantasy XV tbh.
And am I the only one who wants 2.5 on PS4 in addition to the PS3? I need some games for it :<
KH2.5 for the PS4 would be amazing, because not only is it a bit more convenient, but there would be remote play for Vita :3
I don't know why everyone's so worried about the lack of info. E3 is in a few weeks. They're probably saving all of it for then, since they know Kingdom Hearts made such a splash last year due to the announcement of 3. I mean think about it. If there's no mention of 3, or very very little mention of it, then revealing the release date, box art, some trailers, maybe even preorder bonuses/limited edition stuff for 2.5 all at E3 would be enough to surely satisfy the KH crowd watching E3 livestreams and such. It's kinda like The Last Guardian, in a way. They have the thing ready to unveil, they're just "waiting for the right time" to do it.

Last year's TGS proved that nothing is ever guaranteed anymore, so the wariness is understandable.
They promised to show off the new renders for characters "soon" but alas, that was 80 thousand years ago.

You know Square, always assume "light years".
Remember when SE promised more regular updates on their games and being more transparent about their development cycles/issues? Haha great times.

Hmm, yes, this is true. Now I am a little concerned, thinking about that. But, I'm still fairly confident. Of all the gaming events out there, E3 is the biggest and most hyped, so if there's a time and place to unveil something, it's E3. If Square drops the ball at E3, there will be many frowns.

I like that they're worse than they ever have been before about this.

It is always best to be wary than not!

It didn't seem like it was possible until Hashimoto said "please wait awhile longer" twice in a 3-month period. Oh and Kitase being the one to make a non-statement on FFXV and KH3.
