[Sign]

With KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX releasing on March 14, 2013, it's only natural that we begin to see some promotional media come our way! The first of many we hope to come is this poster, featuring the familiar artwork originally used on the KINGDOM HEARTS original soundtrack, now remastered like the games the title consists of. Check it out below!

The phrase on the side is making me hopeful and nostalgic.

"Now is the time for Kingdom Hearts."

No, there is no confirmation of a North American version of this game at the moment. This is fairly normal considering we don't usually get info on a localization until after the game has released in Japan.

The HD collection is hopefully the start of something better for the KH series. With 1.5 coming, the inevitable 2.5 and eventual KH3... I think we're on the right track.

I really hope the camera is controlled with the second stick with this remake. I never had any problems with the first game's camera, but with KH2 I just felt like I had more control over the game.

It is. That was one of the things they confirmed. Camera remapped to right analog stick.

Do we know what they plan to price it at?

It's about $83 USD converted from JPY.

And before anyone jumps to conclusions, remember that this is merely a direct conversion based off of the current exchange rates.

 

[Reagan Rayden]

I was mainly asking out of curiosity of whether or not this game will be the usual price of a new game or if it will be reduced slightly in price because it's a remake.

Considering the amount of work going into this I wouldn't be surprised if it was full price.

PS3 HD collections are usually $10-20 less than a brand new game.

The background on that poster looks new.

Anyway am I the only one who totally fangasmed at the PS3 logo on the poster? Such a combination I've been waiting for a long time! *drools*

I read the description 3 times before realising we aren't getting a remastered version of the soundtrack

KINGDOM HEARTS original soundtrack, now remastered like the games

 

[Magnus]

So the poster is "remastered"? That makes no sense.

The artwork is remastered. But I don't see a difference, probably a contrast/vibrance/saturation thing.

It makes more sense when you read the previous "featuring the familiar artwork originally used on the" :3

You sir, win the prize!

 

[Magnus]

You cannot remaster artwork though. It's a bit like previewing music. Can't do it. But that's another discussion.

Now you're just being nitpicky. There's only so many times you can actually say "recycled/reused/old artwork". Sue me for mixing up my vocabulary for some variety! D:

All right, but I need to know your name and address among other things so we can get this into court ASAP jkjkjk

I don't want to ask, but with this image being used more and more, I think it is safer and safer to assume this has an extremely high chance of being the coverart, and I'm okay with it, it is one of the nicer pieces of artwork from KH1.

OBJECTION

But in all seriousness, yeah, looks like this is the cover art for 1.5 unfortunately. It's nice that they brought it back since the first soundtrack. I just got my hopes up for new art xD
