so this for last chance for people who dont have it yet since kh3 out next year it almost they asking us to get it before kh3 releses

I dunno, do we really need this? I mean of course this doesn't really harm anybody, just feels weird they'd do this. I also wonder: will this just be a box with both games, or will this again be a new CD with ALL the games? Kinda like a 1.5+2.5+2.8?

Edit: nvm, just looked at the pic. It's both games seperately

I was wondering if they'd do this. I was expecting it to release next year though, right before KH3. Regardless, the idea of buying the entire series (barring KHUX) in a single package is nuts to think about as a long-time fan.

pgw is next week could be the best place to annouce it

I guess it's fine since it's just a repackaging of both games, but it seems a little unnecessary. They're already both available on store shelves for a cheaper price than the bundle, so the only people this is for is unaware consumers.

The description itself is nothing new, it's just the 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 descriptions copypasted, since it says "for the first time on the PS4".

...Interesting (if true).
I share Muke's perplexity about the usefulness of such a bundle, then again I still don't have the 1.5 + 2.5 collection myself.

And here I thought that they did all they could to exploit the HD Remasters. This is such a Square Enix thing to do.

dont worry guys, i’m sure it’ll have exclusive content that’s neccesary to understand III’s story.

What if they do have something planned tho and they "fixed" DDD and 0.2 by adding more plot-relevant secret bosses

A man can dream

No thanks. Though I'll have to resist if they give it some cool box art.

it it real paris game week is the best place to annouce it

Uh, yeah, so, to get back to the topic:

I'll be honest: If I see even the smallest kind of reason to buy this (even if it's only a pretty box), then I'm sold. It's KH so I can't resist.

I'll probably be getting this because I predicted it could happen and neglected buying 1.5+2.5 for this very reason (I was actually waiting for a KH3 bundle)

Not gonna buy this for myself, as I already own these titles, but it may be a last minute Christmas gift for my best friend, and possibly a girl I like (although I can't remember if she has Xbox One or PS4 :P)

This screams 100% Black Friday to me. And it doesn't surprise me they'd do a bundle collection because, Kingdom Hearts is a hot item right now with the other major game titles out there. Therefore, it's smart of them to use November to do it with Kingdom Hearts becoming more of a thing with KH3 on the horizon. Like, seriously, the amount of merchandise showing up in stores is unreal now. lol. So they'll probably go quick and sell out fast.

I personally won't bother buying it again, cause I own all three games already on separate consoles; which doesn't bother me. xD

Ughhh i wish this was coming to Switch

Oh no, Kingdom hearts 1.5+2.5+2.8.....
I already beat EVERY game on the previous 2 bundles for the PS4, i don't have any more time left to burn through them like a heat seeking laser. I am NOT going through that lingering hell again! the nightmare that was Xaldin's data battle... No heart!

Although i do appreciate the influx of more merchandise, still love the Sora costume that i ordered online.

Y'all think this bundle would come with something new? I would be happy with some new Nomura Art :)

On one hand I'm glad they will be putting all the games to date so far in one convenient collection so everyone can have access to them but on the other I can't help shake the feeling that they're milking this like crazy. This franchise has and always will be very near and dear to me but man they sure do go out of their way to port and ultimately milk these games time and time again. Wouldn't be surprised if they had another mega or ultimate collection after KH3 comes out tbh.

I want to say I'll skip this, but there will probably be some kind of pre-order swag that'll sway me

And then the KHIII Collector's Edition will have this included and I'll have like 8 copies of these damn collections

The only purpose for buying this would be is if they fix the glitches found in the individual PS4 releases.

I wouldn't say it was milking. Or at least, not the usual type of milking.

They have to know that their core consumer base will only buy the game so many times. I don't think their sales numbers would allow them to think rereleasing it over and over will land them a heap of cash (just my assumption)

I think their intention here is to further push the idea that people who haven't jumped on yet has the opportunity to get absolutely everything relevant to KH3 in one or two nice bundles. It almost becomes a "There's no excuse as to why you haven't played any of the games before KH3" situation coming about imo. Like, if an admittedly large part of our fanbase still hasn't jumped onto any of the collections thus far and got themselves caught up while waiting for KH3, then.... ?

The only excuses I can think of is lack of time (then what time do you have to play KH3, or you just really dislike the gameplay THAT much. I can't imagine this collection will cost too much either (but I totally understand the struggle of lack of cash since that was why I didn't play a few KH titles myself)

It is most definitely just about getting a new collection out before the holidays to push into average consumer’s hands. The core audience is not the target audience of this release.

It is also about clearing up the message behind the collections. Imagine being a sales person trying to sell both games to people. It’s verbose and confusing.

A straightforward “Kingdom Hearts Collection” just makes more sense to the average consumer over a string of numbers and words like Grizzly made note of. To this day I cannot believe the marketing team allowed Nomura to use weird names for these remasters.

I wonder, will the name be “Kingdom Hearts Collection Mega XL Bundle”? Because that sounds just as stupid to me. I feel like a really simple “Kingdom Hearts collection” or something would be more than enough — maybe even call it the “Dark Seeker Saga” or so? Though I guess that’d be a better name for a collection whcih includes the ReMixes and KH3

I'll go mad if they put any preorder stuff in this that wasn't available for the previous remixes. Or additional scenes. I don't intend to buy these games again and I think the basic idea for this collection is kinda dumb. It's a collection made of collections, like what are you thinkin', Sena?? It's really not that hard to grab a copy of 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 separately and the core fanbase is already overstuffed with remixes, so I don't know who is supposed to buy this. The marketing cost is probably higher than it's worth, but whatever. xD

They've already set precedent by just updating the PS4 version with cutscenes in a patch. Even if they do claim new cutscenes available, all PS4 versions would most likely get them.

i could see this being bundled with an exclusive theme or maybe funko pops in a CE. beyond that, i don’t see much happening might even be a physical disc of 2.8/digital download of 4.0 type deal

Ultimate troll job to the fans if it comes with Days and Coded playable. Slim chance, but maybe.

There's absolutely no logical reason to make Days or Re:Coded playable.
Like, what are they supposed to do? Just put those ugly ass DS games in it? That's not happening. Remake the games? Jesus Christ, never in the world. That'd need a shit ton of people working on it, and they wouldn't throw that out for some 60 or 70ish dollars in a collection.

Any chance this might come to the US?
