Wow, it looks really Simple and Clean. See what I did there? Huh?
jokes aside though, I also thought it would look like the previous remixes.
Anyways, guess this confirms that it's Days -> KH2 and not the other way around?

There's a special credits like before. Noticed that.

The debate will forever live on. Count me in on the KH2 before Days group. Was hoping it'd be that way for the main menu.

I screamed when I saw this, it's just like FFX|X-2 HD and I love it.

It's actually where the themes will be kept.

Same . It just feels like that's the right way to me. But eh.
Uhhh, looks just like in Final Fantasy X so far. Although, does the background change according to which game you're on on the list, too? That'd be nice!

Oh, you think having 2.5 again I wouldn't know. We'll probably see a teaser, give or take.
Just several more weeks.

I'd think so, anything else wouldn't make sense xD
and if you beat all the games 100% a short demo of KH3 is unlocked.

So 0.2? :p
Can't wait for the aspect ratio to be all screwed up.
I'm surprised it looks good.
*sigh* I know the order is because that's how 1.5 was released, but..... PUT DAYS AFTER II DARN IT! BLAGLAGUAYBZKUYHBKJ!!!

No story wise, Days in-between com and kh2, not release.
I love everything about this, and it's beautiful. Well done, Square. Never thought I'd see the day when all the games were available on a single disc for a console. So awesome to see this after years of platform hopping and KH's general messiness. Finally, it's all in one spot.

Well then put BBS at the top.
I don't think there's any "correct" order per se. It's a matter of taste. I know lots of people who think release order is king, but personally I find the narrative flows better when you play Days before KH2.
[strike]none of the narrative works when days is involved[/strike]
personally i think kh2 before days is better as a big part of that opening (and of the org in general) is the mystery. who is roxas, how is he connected to sora, where is he now, what is the nature of this world, who is the organization, what is their goal, what are nobodies, what do they look like, etc.
pretty much all of that is lost if you do days first, and then you're just left wondering why all these random bishies put their hoods back up
I like this new layout a lot! I was afraid it would just be a screen that said 1.5 + 2.5 with six ugly gray squares with the game titles like it is with the other collections.
Fairly certain in this case Days is on top because it's 1.5 + 2.5. They're doing them in that order.

That pretty much seals it. The story-wise reasoning has no place here, for BbS it's not the first one.
(...also Days "contains" CoM, begins before and finishes after it.)
Release order IS king though, if only just because it was the only choice for too long. KH it's not Assassin's Creed where the story updates yearly. There's too much of a span between games.
I can't accept an order that basically tells me "yeah don't play the first KH, in about 10 years a prequel will come out, play that first for a better experience" (also really debatable)
"We're not talking BbS - KH1, we're only talking Days - KH II". Well, I then think an order that doesn't apply well to every situation is inferior by definition.
Release order is the only one always available, I'd say it is the correct one.
Right! I didn't think about BBS not being on top.
Well, then I continue to say "KH2 first, then Days" or simple that they're interchangeable - but KH2>Days preferably.
Can somebody see if it is possible to import save files from PS3? What is written on the bottom right corner (next to the triangle button) ?

That's information about how Disney owns the copyright and that it's illegal to upload the soundtrack via the PS4 recording feature or something like that. 2.8 has the same thing.
I like the nostalgic throwback to the original video game covers of these titles. Give's a feel of authenticity and "definitive version" to each of the titles displayed.
Looks surprisingly good, especially after the cover. Nice!
Looks pretty great! was expecting to be like 2.5 and 1.5 but i was surprised!
Can anyone translate what it says by the triangle at the bottom?

I know it's probably not very likely, but I'm still hoping these share the same trophy lists are the PS3 versions. Don't wanna redo all of the tedious ones like the gummi ship nonsense. Either that, or the new ones have to be a lot easier.
I'm hoping they'll fix the fish faces. What else is there to improve upon graphically?
(just wishful thinking, they probably won't)

even 0.2 had fish faces.

Well,if you look at it purely from the way the overall narrative is told, it makes sense. Could you imagine someone who hasn't played ANY of the titles to go in starting with BBS, simply cause it chronologically happened first?
Along with that, Days doesn't seem to have any explicit transitional connection to other titles. None of them, except for KHII, that is, which, if it were ordered after it, would be rather out of place, when KH2 has transitional connections to everything after it BUT Days.
But I digress

You could go into Birth by Sleep without playing any other game before hand, you just wouldn't get the references to the previous games. Hell, I'd love to meet someone that found out about Roxas', Xion's, and Namine's suffering through blank points; the rest of the series they slowly find out what happened to all of these characters, and it'd be super cool to see that the main character of Kingdom Hearts is the little boy from the game you just played. I'd recommend doing it that way if anything! I wish I had a do-over just so I could experience what that is like, it sounds like I'd actually appreciate all of the games more if I had done it that way :)
I'm on Team KH 2/358 Days.
The genius of 2's prologue is being confused alongside Roxas. The confusion and anger he feels just makes the payoff greater in the 6TH day.
I'm hoping they do the same with what they did with the FF12 remaster and replace all the Lower quality models with their HQ ones.
Looks beautiful and there you go pretty much confirms at this point exactly what Nomura said, this is the best order to experience it and if they wanted to it be the other way Days would of been put after KH2. Roxas's opening is just narratively so much better with Days than without. Because Days doesn't actually show the transition rather deliberately the last thing you see is Roxas running through twilight town meeting up friends for a possible beach trip, an immediate cut from Roxas laying on the ground beaten up and crying for his lost life. The mystery of the start is still very much intact and the only real difference is instead of the narrative introducing and spending several hours having you get to know characters that will all almost inexplicably be dropped from the plot for 90% of the game. Now the narrative is just having you watch the final sad week and giving various conclusions/semi-conclusions to tales you've been watch unfold for an entire other game.
Not saying there is anything wrong with release order just that release order was ultimately a failed experiment that does more to sour the overall experience KH2's narrative can offer.
feel like im the only one in this site that won't buy 1.5+2.5 on ps4, im big kh fan but im not gone waste money on games i already have

Eh, I personally don't mind upgrading especially with all the trouble my PS3 has been giving me lately.
In regards to comments about "fish faces" Muke, what did you mean by that exactly? What's a fish-face in KH? lol

[spoiler=big pics]
[/spoiler]Models with low-res 2D textures on their faces (lips and eyes) which just look ugly, KH1 was filled with them. The mouth flaps open and shut like a robot, the body can only move in very particular ways, etc.
Oh! I always called them blank/doll faces but figured that must have been what you were talking about. I agree, I hope they can take those out completely but I'm not holding my breath on it tbh. :/
Well, it's not impossible. Yeah, a lotta work, low budget and all, but still.
Just look at the fake screenshots they published for KH1.5, basically advertising that the fish faces were gone:

Just please do that this time.
Also, it's like… what else is their do graphically improve upon? This is the only thing that really comes to mind, imo

The debate continues.......
The Roxas prologue is self explanatory. It treats him like it's the first time you've seen the character, building off his brief appearance at the end of COM.
KH2 treats the KH2 organization XIII members like it's the first time you've seen them. They've got their hoods up, there's not as much development for them as there was in Days and it spoils anything that was meant or intended to be a surprise in KH2. I've tried the Days before KH2 experiment and anything that involved organization XIII comes across as weird because KH2 is intended to be the first time you see them.
Final trump card. Days has scenes of KH2 in its opening.

Playing devil's advocate here, BUT organization XIII was already a presence from Chain of Memories. It's a mystery who these other members are, BUT, to be fair, we do already know, as the audience, what this organization is. the memory loss is just an excuse for Sora to have to be re-introduced.
That being said... Days before Kingdom Hearts II would really, really ruin the experience for me. Sorry, but unless I'm playing chronological order, I'd never do that to myself and spoil Kingdom Hearts II. [strike]also skip days and just play II[/strike]
Also, it's like… what else is their do graphically improve upon? This is the only thing that really comes to mind, imo
IDK maybe actually bringing the games up to actually be 1080/4K instead of 720p lol
this really should be in chronological order of time line. :frown:
but I like the simple menu

Lol no it should totally not. This is fine, though I favor KH2>Days over the other way around.
BBS spoils plot points of later(/earlier??) games, so playing that first is ruining the whole experience.
@Chaser ...shoot, didn't think about that. :s

I saw that scene in 3D yesterday and I was surprised no one had no one noticed that's where that picture came from back then

This. I'd think they will get most, if not all, of the textures to be full 1080p. While the PS3 remasters did look great overall, the textures clearly weren't full 1080, but rather, well anti-aliased 720p for the most part. I would love for them to have full 4K textures all around, but I iimagine it'd be difficult to fit all of the textures in 4K on one disc, considering how many games are included. Unless of course the 4K texture pack was some sort of DLC or patch. I kinda doubt that would be the case, though, since most PS4 users would not be able to take advantage of such hi-res textures (only those with Pro could).
