Okay, 2 months isn't bad at all, I was hoping for a simultaneous release, but 2 months isn't bad ^_^ Hopefully KH3 will be even less. The only things I'm jelly on are obviously the 3 additions (Ultimania + CD + PAK). I think they can all be bought separately though, right?

Man, they are really pushing that Sora outfit. It was the gift from the latest serial code in VJump as well.

I will definitely be importing 2.5 (since it's a special occasion and all). The Japanese release date being in October gives me confidence that a stable build will be present at E3.

I really don't get why either, Limit Form doesn't play a huge part in KH history anyways given it's a random one like Anti-Sora (which would be a great PAK btw).

I wish I could get the JPN one since it'd be in a nice box, but I don't fully understand Japanese so the 2.5 game would be wasted on me

Knowing that it would be that popular, I should have bought that Sora outfit for a price of measly 30 medals in the game. I kind of regret that I didn't! The Key Art card, then, I suppose is Key Art #10 (KH1 Sora holding a flag).

And whoa, look at those bundles. It's good that it seems we are able to purchase the items separately since there's no way I'm spending 22,400 yen for the complete collection, considering I already have both the Japanese and English versions of the first compilation, yet I want the PAK, music BD, and Ultimania...

Am I even sure I wouldn't, though?

 

[ShardofTruth]

I wonder about the art book, it's probably only a small thing but why isn't it sold with an upgrade pack for people who already have the HD 1.5 ReMIX? Hopefully our local SE will make up for it.

2 months in difference. I certainly applaud the hard work for all those involved in development as well as localization. Also, it's cool that they have a 1.5 and 2.5 bundle option though I personally wouldn't need it if the NA release did that. I could see some potential gifts for my friends if they do bundle the two in NA.

 

[Rydgea]

So many options.

Kairi's take on that outfit is kindof adorkable.

 

[SquarePhoenix]

Um...sorry to sound ignorant, but what is the Play Arts Kai thing, it sounds like a figurine.
If not, I`ll just get the third option. (Can I preorder at ARTNIA?)

 

[Heartkeeper]

The collector edition is only available in the SE store?.

Yes, the Japanese Collector's Editions are only available via the Square Enix e-STORE & ARTNIA.

So are these limited edition packs going to translate over to the US and European releases or is this just Japan only, like that 3DS pack they had?

Everything thus far revealed is Japan only.

The US and EU most likely will be getting collectors packs, but like with most of KH's past stuff, it will be completely different from the one released in Japan, usually with only 1 option as opposed to many, and usually with different stuff (some the same).

Still hopin on a ps4 release 0-0

 

[Master Ultima]

So KH HD 2.5 is releasing in October for Japan? That's about two months before we get it in North America which is December.

Yes, this was already mentioned before in the thread.

 

[Jesus]

Late to the party, but I was actually expecting a worldwide release on this one. Also is it possible that the US release will mimic these pre-order options?

We can dream xD Best to complain to Square Enix and hope they do something about it. Right now all we have is a pin

 

[Master Sora]

I'll have to pray for the PAK Limit Sora to appear on Ebay for a decent price.
