Could this possibly be a strategy Nomura has come up with?

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Hey guys, I just wanted to express how I feel about the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix news! I am freakishly excited and stoked, and I'm looking very much forward to 2013 to get my hands on it! I'll start saving money now! LOL, but anyways, down to the point I want to get you. I don't know if any of you have asked yourselves this, but have you considered why Nomura only put those 3 games in 1.5 and not all the KH games? My theory is that this is all a part of his final plan to prepare us for Kingdom Hearts 3. My guess is that since he will release 1.5 on 2013, he might also plan in the near future to also make a Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix in 2014, which would include the rest of the games, and then he would release Kingdom Hearts 3 in 2015 or make a 2 year hiatus and release KH3 on 2016. But that's just my theory. Either way, I'm just excited that we can play Final Mix! I mean finally, we get our hands on it! (Hopefully it's for US and Japan, and not just Japan.) So guys, what do you think of all this?

Sounds very Good.

Of course I know the "where's Kh3??" people would disagree.

[Queen Tery 4,591]

I think that it's a believable theory. I would be okay with that.

[Rob 5,571]

I've had similar thoughts.

Considering Nomura promised pretty much a game per year I expect that his plan is indeed to release HD collections a few games at a time .. The next part of the collection will probably have KH2 and etc etc .That makes the most sense if you ask me . Expect another collection or more in the future . It will help bring together all the games before KH3 is released and build up hype .

I just realized something! I hope thisa won't change the subject, but now, I just realized that Could & Cloud are spelled the same? Do you know what I mean?

You're gonna piss off the Europeans and Australians for not including them.

 

[Edit] Oh yeah, and the Canadians. ºωº

As long as EU finally gets Re:CoM (in the HD Collection) then this HD thing sounds alright. Still majorly disappointed with it not having Days as an actual game though. The fact it only has the cutscenes is such a letdown, they'd probably get tons more money if they remade it.

Anyway, what you said sounds pretty reasonable, wouldn't surprise me if that's what happens and I can wait for KH3 as long as we have things like this in the meantime.

Maybe inbetween HD Remixs, that KH MMO will come out and that will count as the KH game for whatever year it comes out.

Anyone in the WORLD can play this game since it's not region-locked...Basically, 90% of ALL KH fans with a PS3 are importing it since it also has ENGLISH cutscenes!!!

It seems also for Europe. I'm pretty sure that the secret message is about the HDRemix.

The next number must be 1.5. And like DDD also came out in EU.

[Caity 3,946]

I think with the numbers we should expect kh 1.5, 2.5 and 0.5 (BBSFM, BBSV2 and cutscenes/hidden secrets to KH3) which would be released after

I also think that it's really a marketing/money strategy. Many new fans would hear of the series and the million consoles they're on and go "na, I ain't bothering getting all those consoles for this series screw that"

By including it all remastered (or just theater scenes included) on one console (PS3) People may pick up the ReMix's and get in the series and likely to get KH3 when it comes out.

Due to all the side/filler/bridge games, many fans already strayed from the series just wanting the numbered games back on home consoles
