It's been a while since the last bit of news about Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue was released, with a single screenshot of Daybreak Town from Back Cover released to celebrate the 14th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series.
If you were one of the people who was worried that the HD collection would not release in 2016 in North America and Europe because of some wording in the trailers last year, you can rest easy. The first entry on Playstation 4 systems, which boasts Kingdom Hearts HD Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover, and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep A Fragmentary Passage, was confirmed by Square Enix's Financial Results that it is still on track for a 2016 release in North America and Europe.
While the 2016 Fiscal year doesn't end until March 2017, E3 is just around the corner with the popular gaming convention taking place once again in Los Angeles on June 14th-16th. With the collection still on its way, Square Enix would be wise to ramp up marketing, starting with a confirmed release date at this event.

I'd say this pretty much sets the chances for at least a release month if not even the full date for 2.8 at over 90% possibility.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Before anyone says anything, yes I know the fiscal year goes into 2017 but I like to find hope that there will be no delay for this game and it's 2016 listing on that page is for 2016, not "fiscal year 2016"
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
That's so reassuring. Lets hope that E3 actually reveals a release date so people don't complain that 2.8 is a detriment to Kingdom Hearts III's development (I personally don't think it is: some fans do).

It's sad that some people think that and ignore that II.8 has been in development along side KH3's announcement since the start.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Idk why people would think otherwise in the first place. I mean maybe if it needed more time in development but that seems very unlikely to me given the current state of things and how much is being funneled into KH3 and other games at the moment. That and DDD was already finished just need to be ported to PS4. I'm betting KH2.8 will either come out some time in the Fall most likely October or in the Winter in December. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Idk why people would think otherwise in the first place.
People thought so because the English trailers ended with "Now in Development" whereas the Japanese trailers ended with "Coming 2016". Fans ignored the description for the English videos where it said "Coming 2016" and to this day people still thought it was unlikely to launch in 2016. All should be revealed at E3 though.

Porting DDD to the PS4 was akin to remaking the game, so says Nomura, due to the need to change all the 3DS specific stuff such as touch screen and second screen to make it work on a single screen.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Last year I thought it'd release around July or so, but as of now, I guess around October is actually more...realistic.
Thinking about how long I've been waiting for more Aqua until now, the few months won't kill me either. xD
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
I wouldn't even mind the wait if we actually got..y'know a pic of Aqua's face.
The back of her head can only do so much!
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Nice to have confirmation that II.8 is coming 2016. Maybe we will finally see Aqua in action during E3.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
I was waiting for news on this one, this makes me happy.
No date yet, but there's only 7 months left this year, that'll pass pretty fast. ... I hope xD
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Well finally, I was getting bored.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Thank freaking goodness! I was worried we'd have to wait like with 2.5.
We should definitely be seeing some Aqua action and the release date at E3 by this point.
With chi ending in September, October would sound like a good month to release 2.8.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 HD Still On Track For 2016 Release in NA/Europe
Besides Aqua, I'd enjoy a glance at how KH 3D is going to work on the PS4, somehow. For example how they recreated the world-exclusive flowmotion-actions.

Well, I can't wait for the console DDD!
Sound good news to us. Anyone think it might come out during the holiday season?

If they follow the model of 2.5's release then it would be out in Japan in October and internationally in December. But who knows. Personally I'd be a little surprised to see Square give so little breathing room to FFXV given how many bets they seem to have hinged on it.

in my opinion the only option is to release it early summer. /sarcasm
/not really. please square. i love 3D so much, i can't wait too much longer.
Wait... people were actually thinking this would release later than 2016.
I don't know, I'd be VERY surprised if this was released in 2017. The HD collection really only contains DDD (which, granted, they would have had to change a bit because the original game takes advantage of 3DS gimmicks), a bunch of cutscenes based on the story of KHX, and what is basically like an hour-long demo for KH3. I can't imagine it taking any longer than KH1.5 or KH2.5 considering there's really only one fully complete game in this HD collection.

Release it in August for all the Leos!

Relative to the other remasters, however, word is that DDD was a lot more intensive than a simple port, probably something closer to what they had to do with the first game in the 1.5 collection since IIRC they had to basically rebuild that one from scratch as well.
But yeah all things considered there's no way this comes out any later than December. 2017 is the year of KH3.
2017 is the year of KH3.
A year ago I would've called you crazy for this.
I'm still not convinced but I can rather see something like December 2017 coming now than a year ago.
Not trying to be mean, but is it me or is everyone latching onto December than pretty much any month before it?

...Maybe?
Is that a bad thing? Dunno about 2.8 - like I said, I could imagine that to release in October - but if KH 3 does release in 2017, I think around Christmas would be a good time.

It's not a bad thing at all. Just pretty confusing.

December was when 2.5 released and the holiday season is a really good time for publishers to release games due to the high volume of spending going on.
I fully expect Kingdom Hearts 2.8 to come out this year. I just can't really see it getting delayed till next year. It will probably be released in October for Japan and December for the west like how 2.5 was released.
I'm also with the mindset that 2017 will be the year for Kingdom Hearts 3. It will be 15 years since the original game came out, and it would tie in perfectly with that anniversary.

Right, but bear in mind that they basically have to remake DDD since the controls were made for 3DS, so all of that has to be reworked, and then the other things, while not full games or anything, are being made in Unreal Engine 4 and will require a lot more polish and touch-up, visually and mechanically. They only announced it in September of last year, so it's not hard to imagine it getting delayed to 2017 what with AAA game development getting harder and more expensive these days. And now that Square has finally moved KH over to modern day tech, the dev time is going to take even longer, so even if there's just one remade game with old visuals, the amount of dev work really isn't any smaller, I don't imagine. However, we now have confirmation that the game is releasing this year anyway, but Nintendo "confirmed" Zelda for both 2015 and 2016, so I take this in a cautiously optimistic manner.
Apparently there is some leaked footage of the upcoming e3 trailer which confirms November 15th as release day.

Hmm...I'm on the fence on wether it's real or fake. Leaning towards fake, but the Aqua shot almost got me.

Rofl that looks so fake
Seems fake to me. There is nothing that is too hard to fake. Also every trailer from HD collections has the title first and then the footage, in this it goes from 0.2 title to DDD footage.
Also what kind of friggin early screening for employees would clap like that?

I don't see a release date in the footage?
Mickey sounds terrible lmao

It's in the video description.

Ah, I read it.
It's definitely fake.
It's not real, this guy did almost the exact same thing last year with the III trailer. It was a good fake, but still

The release date is in the video description. Said description also says that the supposed trailer has 0.2 gameplay and a new Back Cover scene. I don't believe the guy, though. And of course Mickey sounds terrible, no one can get the trademark Mickey voice right, except for possibly Nolan North who was apparently gonna be the original replacement for Wayne Allwine.

that sounds like a joke

Voices of YX, MX, and possibly Sora and a "Winter 2016" release date. I don't think this 2.8 leak was done by the same guy though.
Rofl that's cute.
The last time there was a 0.2 "leak", it turned out to be an edited rock picture from I think Bloodborne or something.
Another reason this leak is fake is because it transitioned from footage that's obviously from the Jump Festa trailer to a new shot, then to DDD footage from the Jump Festa trailer.
Is it Christmas time already? Do I have to get the "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" cartoon or do I gotta bake gingerbread?
I just pulled those reaction gifs out of my links xD

To be fair, at least the new video shows a video shot of Aqua that was never seen before, whereas the KH3 video literally shows nothing new except for "Winter 2016" and a decent impression of Master Xehanort. But looking at the comments of the KH3 one, I guess a lot of people fell for it.
Since when has a Kingdom Hearts trailer had subtitles
First time for everything.
First time for everything.
Well this isn't it bc that's as fake as me when I'm being nice.
Since when has a Kingdom Hearts trailer had subtitles
Most of the time it's when the trailer's in Japanese.
yeah that aqaua look nothing unreal engine at all
Well this isn't it bc that's as fake as me when I'm being nice.
I'll have you know that I still remember that "information" that you "leaked" the other day.
ah who am i kidding, who doesn't
Please look forward to more teasing from me about how 2.8's footage looks worse than that.
jokes idk anything about what 2.8 looks like other than JF 2016

I honestly don't know what you're talking about, but it was most likely a lie.
It was something about the Wuzzles being in KH3. I can't remember what the other show was called.
More evidence that the leak is fake: The person who made it was dumb enough to put 0.2's name right before DDD footage instead of DDD's name.

Yeah. It's quite obvious when you take off your "omg could this be real!?" glasses and just observe it. Subtitles, Mickey's weird voice, inconsistent Aqua, reused Dream Drop Distance footage...
hey chaser i think our queen aqua will look better then that
You think, but do you know?
[video=youtube;Sfw_r1UCPs0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfw_r1UCPs0[/video]
I meant English, guys. Gosh!!!!!!!! Of course the Japanese trailers have subtitles
[video=youtube;Sfw_r1UCPs0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfw_r1UCPs0[/video]
Don't forget 2.5's announcement trailer, and 2.5's Final Trailer.
As for English, no. English KH trailers don't have subtitles. Another reason why the leak is fake.
You think, but do you know?
i know because i don't think lord nomura wont let us down with characther looks
The same Lord Nomura who let that cursed Stella into the world when prettier, more beautiful Lunafreya was waiting in the side lines? Where's your Lord Comander now, Gosoxtim?
I thought Lord Nomura was kicked out of his own project before that Stella-Luna drama happened.
Stellaluna. That's the name of a bat. Huh.
The same Lord Nomura who let that cursed Stella into the world when prettier, more beautiful Lunafreya was waiting in the side lines? Where's your Lord Comander now, Gosoxtim?
hey lol you guys acceept was stella would be better no offese to namine i mena luna but i think was more intgue with stella but that the way the cookie crumble i guess
Yeah he was but he still let the atrocity known as Stella run free for 5 seconds of footage.
Did someone say BAT?
Well, this thread took an interesting turn...
That Aqua looks horrible,holy shit.
If anyone falls for that..man oh man..oh boy oh man oh man oh boy oh boy oh man.
guys i saw the real leak
the trailer ends with the release date november 22, 2016. a cgi jfk walks up, flips the 6 to a 9, and the camera pans in on his emotionless face.
So, um,
[video=youtube;nOmD_QDB9Nw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOmD_QDB9Nw[/video]
There actually is a new scene involving Mickey, so it seems kinda legit, but NOPE I hope it's not real. Aqua doesn't look as good as the other models.
OH, it's English Dub. Was the other Trailer dubbed in ENG?

Anyone else notice that the clapping just fades out?
Also, to further make it obvious that it's fake, it's shaky potato cell phone cam quality. I mean, it's freaking 2016!! [SIZE=2]And yet they still don't know how to properly hold a freaking [SIZE=5]CAMERA PHONE.[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Nope. She looks much better than the rest of the models in 0.2
We've already seen Aqua's 0.2 model.
As you can see it's obviously different from the one in the fake leak. Right down to the everything. Also, I'm gonna admit that the only clever thing the leakster did was find a bit of footage that would sync up with the words "Aqua Once".

Lol, maybe. I just think her face and skin shading are much better than Riku, Kairi, Mickey and Yen Sid's models which look like cheap CG hentai.
It's not "mind-blowing", but much better than the rest IMO.
I am not convinced abut the shoulders, I think it's the angle.
??
I thought I had an image on that post. It probably didn't show up when you quoted me.
Lol, maybe. I just think her face and skin shading are much better than Riku, Kairi, Mickey and Yen Sid's models which look like cheap CG hentai.
This is probably the best comparison to those models I have ever seen... Or maybe the worst? I'm conflicted.
Aqua's proper model should look much better than that :)
This leak just reeks of fake. The description says that the guy got to go to an early screening for the trailer, even though no early screening was ever announced. If there were an early screening, we would have known by now.

David! <333
I'm a fan too. >w<
Oh and that Yen Sid image looks bad....I agree.
And, not much of a leak since it was seconds long lol....the "clapping" around the person seems real, and its an obvious phone camera video, but not sure why it was so short. Pretty sure you can record a lot longer than that....lol
Okay, so, you're trying to say that this

Yep. And these
Skin and lightning looks much better.
Btw I think the animation is very reminiscent of Square and Kingdom Hearts in general, so again, kudos to whoever made it.
I think Aqua's badge is a dead giveaway that her model is fake, even with all the strange "3D Hentai" shaders there is simply no way it will look like that.

It's short because at the end theres a "Sir can you put the phone away?" which like if you saw someone with their phone out you would ensure that the photo album would be clear of that recent recording.
Well, considering that last year's KH3 leak had a voice saying "no recording devices sir" and that leak was fake, it's safe to say that it's just a way to make it look more real.

Compared with Aqua's back (lol), they're not as detailed and stuff.
Aqua looks like a weird robot in that. >:

The fake leak is fake as heck but I can't help but applaud the effort. That was the best fake leak I've ever seen! Kudos the the guy who made it.
But she is already a robot. Infact, every single person in Kingdom Hearts is robots. They're just in skin and do stuff what the game code programs tells them to do. They're not real.
Don't you try destroying my childhood dream of living in a yet-to-be-visited-by-the-gang world. Don't you dare, man. :'(
Why do people shake so much when they're faking a leak? I honestly don't get it.
If there were an early screening, we would have known by now.
Yeah, we sure would have. Heh.
Why do people shake so much when they're faking a leak? I honestly don't get it.
To make the low quality of the fake harder to discern
Yeah, we sure would have. Heh.
Who would even do an early screening for a single trailer? That's just weird.

Hm. I guess that makes sense.

Eh. I'm just like... what is the end goal for all this hard work? That people believe a 2 second shot of Aqua is legit for 14 days? If you're gonna put all that effort in at least make the leak something outrageous or shocking like a fake world announcement or a character reveal.

Some people have too much time on their hands and really enjoy trolling fandoms for some reason.
I'm gonna bet that the guy who said "put the phone away" is the same guy who did the fake Mickey voice.

Again, what's with all the hate for the official KH3 / KH2.8 HD models? Am I really the only one who thinks they look fine? o_o

I like the models! :3 They look gooood. Not perfect, but goooooood.
The models are really good, I don't see why I wouldn't. :D
Up close they look fine,well Kairi and Riku that is.
Again, what's with all the hate for the official KH3 / KH2.8 HD models? Am I really the only one who thinks they look fine? o_o
Maybe because they look so different and feel too... realistic? I dunno, I'm also on the pro side so I'm not sure what's the deal with all the angry people about the models.
Oh. I forgot.
I like all of the models EXCEPT for Mickey. What did they do to him Dx
I hate the models. Love the detail and style, but they look unfinished. Textures look incomplete or something about the lighting makes them look wrong. It has nothing to do with how realistic/unrealistic they look but they have that near-clay style I hated from KH3D's opening. It clashes with the environments.
If you guys don't see it, that's fine. We all have different tastes.

Wasn't that the usual CGI? I don't get it

Looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't really like the new models. Good.
When I watched the openings of KH 1 & 2 I always wanted graphics like this, but now they look kinda....plastic? I don't know how to describe it. I need to see how it will be ingame, but the trailers look kinda wrong to me.
they look unfinished. Textures look incomplete or something about the lighting makes them look wrong. It has nothing to do with how realistic/unrealistic they look but they have that near-clay style I hated from KH3D's opening. It clashes with the environments.
Basically this. :X
Wasn't that the usual CGI? I don't get it
Pretty much this.
...KH3D's opening was my favorite one out of all of them. And the visual style looks just like the rest of the games' openings if you ask me. Just more advanced lighting and rendering as the years went by.
I mean, I see what you guys mean by, "clay" look (although I still don't think it looks like clay, but it looks like SOMETHING), but to be honest, that's just a stylization choice. And it's not even a new one, ALL of the pre-rendered openings have looked like that. That has nothing to do with whether the models themselves are good or bad. It just boils down to personal preference of art style rather than the legitimate quality of something.
I don't know, I think it looks fine and fits with the style they're going for. I don't see how they clash with the environments at all, in fact I think they blend right in.

How could you be the only one that hahes the models when the actual question was "Am I the only one that thinkg they are fine"?
I like them but... yes, they look unfinished. Some of them look glazed and shiny, like jello. The 3D opening is my favorite (so far, followed by BbS/KH2), but the one scene that always rubbed me the wrong way is when Sora lands on DI and then he sees Kairi and Riku looking back smiling at him. Kairi is shaded strangely and her eyes are very dull. If they can spruce up the game to look like the DDD opening (except for some awkward shading sometimes), then I'd be satisfied. Even Sora's face still looks a bit awkward to me though they fixed it up a bit. Same for Mickey's face. They all just need... more detail? (In Sora's case, it's probably weird lighting or something)
An example of what I'm talking about is at about 1:45 in this video, where he compares what Yen Sid currently looks like, and touch up image by a fan

If they tweak it justtttt a little, then I really have no complaints.
P.S: The plastic issue is not just for Kingdom Hearts either, I noticed this with other Unreal engine games to be honest

I red like 3 posts before commenting.
I read like 3 posts about that before commenting.
I fixed that for you. Now, continue my legacy on KH13 by telling how great I am.
Okay back onto the other topic about 2.8. The fake leak. Anyone else find anything that makes it more obviously fake than it already is?
After the Rayman in Sm4sh "leak", I don't believe leaks anymore. I just like to discuss their possibility.
Actually people, I found the REAL pre-E3 leak and after watching this, I am very much hyped!

Are you joking around? Because that's obviously fake. Now, if you want some real pre-E3 leak of 2.8, here you go!

But seriously, how do you post videos correctly on here?
C'mon, this is getting ridiculous. This is what a real leak looks like

Edit: Plugin doesn't work or the film reel? Wtf, is this because I'm on mobile?
My Dad's uncle's neighbor's best friend's nephew is dating someone who works with Nomura told me Sora will abandon the keyblade in order to use the power of knowledge to stop the darkness.
Dammit, it's really stupid how hard it is to post a video on mobile. This site needs a update or something.

Ya wanna know what I like more than my keyblade? KNOWLEDGE.

It's generally a bad idea to put your money on a 4-year-old for anything like that.

Maybe the biggest crime of the series is Sora missing out on his schoolwork. Makes you think.
he hasn't had dinner since he was 14. what has he been eating all this time

The kid's saving the fantasy multiverse. I've seen people get out of schoolwork for lesser things.

Yay for the responses above!
Personally I think that graphically, the DDD opening is the best the series has looked graphically. I have some problems with it as well (Sora's and Kairi's eyes look weird a lot of the time - like they are crazy) but the skin, the models and the lightning are insane.

I mean - just look at the Riku picture! Compared to this, 0.2 is a huge aesthetic letdown.

It's amazing what a bit of added shadows can do to a model. Subtle, yet a big difference on his face.
^ And that was all achieved on a 3DS, a tiny lastgen handheld.
The irony. It's making my soul hurt.

Well that was achieved on a high-end computer, put in a video file and put on the 3DS. :P
CGI isn't real-time graphics.
KH3 & 2.8 better have a N3DS port or I'm going to riot.
Hey guys I found a more interesting leak to talk about

That... thing... came from Disneyland. You said it came from the pits of hell.
Therefore you think Disneyland = pits of hell. :P
"Disneyland= pits of hell"
Why doesn't it say "Fun for whole family" after? Oh well.

Naw, the pits of hell I'm reffering to are whoever thought that horrific abomination of a Sora costume was a good idea.
Eh, a Sora costume in itself isn't a bad idea... you see cosplayers pull it off (somewhat...) all the time without looking like THAT.
I think it's the face. Definitely the face. Something's eerie about it.

I've heard from leaks about this new female character named... Xion I think. She might be an important character in future games. Also wields a key-blade which assures she will become a fan favorite.
Holy crap who made that thing?
balloon satan
Could you imagine how much more awkward that balloon sora would look if there was an actual LEAK?
