The official Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- website updated today bringing with it an updated Kingdom Hearts Re:coded section. While the screenshots provided have already been released, it's a nice reminder to see just how far Re:coded has come, from it's days as an episodic mobile game, to a DS remake.
The page gives off some details such as a character encyclopedia that will be available, just like in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days HD Cinematics. Completing Re:coded gives the player a free theme for their Playstation 3 system, and they will be able to earn trophies while they watch the adventure.
Thanks to Goldpanner, we have a full translation of the new webpage!
Jiminy's Journal: a record of the adventures of Sora and his friends.
After their first journey, Sora and his friends had their memories scattered in Castle Oblivion through the schemes of Organisation XIII. In order to reconnect the broken chains of memories, they went to sleep for one year.
And, when they awakened, all that was left in Jiminy's Journal was the message 'thank Namine'. Memories returned, Sora and his friends set out on their second adventure.
And, when their second adventure was at an end and peace had been returned to the worlds, a mysterious message that no-one had any memory of had been written in Jiminy's first journal.
'Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it.'
King Mickey, wondering about the message, transformed Jiminy's Journal into data and tried to examine it, but the data worlds were being corroded by bugs of unknown cause.
There was only one person who could remove the bugs from the data worlds and solve the mystery of the journal...
In order to seek the truth, a new adventure begins for the Sora of the worlds of data.
