If KH3 gets a Final Mix....

[Reyn 1,755]

Do you think we'll get it out of Japan? Or will it stay in Japan like the others? I mean, since we're getting all the other FM's through the HD collection, i think Square might release it. But if not, they'll probably just not give it to us. It ptobably won't get into another HD Collection for PS4 or PS5(On youtube people are already coming up with resolutions higher than 1080p so its possible that soon games will have graphics like that), since its part of the Xehanort saga, and if we get another HD collection on a console, it'll probably be about the NEXT SAGA in KH, not the previous one.

I don't think there would be a FM for KH3. If it was japan only though it wouldn't matter since the PS3 can play jap games.

Why do you think that KH3 wouldn't get an FM?

 

Also, it does kinda matter because:

 

A. Some of us don't have the money to import.

B. Some of us don't want to import a game that we can't read and makes the game more difficult because of that.

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Well, considering that KH3D didn't get a Final Mix, KH3 might not get a Final Mix, but who knows?  A guy can dream right?  And if a Final Mix were released, I would love for it to be released over here as well.  Only time will tell what happens.

[Oishii 3,987]

With current technology, it would make more sense and would probably be more profitable to do a Final Mix DLC.  That would make it more likely for an international release too.

A= Sometimes import is even cheaperB= Final mix is always been in English voice except the (Some) text.

 

But why wouldn't they make a Final Mix if they did it also for 1 and 2.

Because it doesn't need one. In the past only two of the FMS have been for actual additional content. KH1FM was because Americans got Sephiroth and Japan didn't. If KH3 takes a good while to make then they won't need an FM. 

 

And it would be easier than importing the Japanese kh2fm and then modding your ps2 by far

Also, if you've played the original game there's not much difference in the text. I played KH1fm and kh2fm just fine.

I don't think there will be FM.But if it does,it might show a hint for the next saga after Xehanort...

I really hope there won't be. The only reason they ever made the Final Mixes was because the international releases got content that the Japanese version didn't. It would be better if everyone just got the same version, and there was no need for any extra content.

[xxClouDxxmoon 901]

Might be a FM, although I doubt KH3 won't already have TONNES of content!

Check out the KHRP he completely agrees with u 

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

There probably won't be a FM because the PS4 can do so much more and has tons of memory. The disk for the PS4 also can hold tons of data.

8Gb tons of memory?

If KH3 is even for the PS4. Though it's more likely now, that doesn't mean it will 100% be true.

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

8Gb tons of memory?

Think about how much BbS data altogether was and compare that with 8GB. Yes, it's a lot.

[Elijah Gravenhorst 480]

I honestly hope that the days of final mixes are over. I hope they can just put their all into the first release of the game and not have to go back and force everyone to buy it again to experience the "true" version.

Resolutions higher than 1080p have been around for awhile. Its called 4K (basically, 4000p). There are tv's that display it called Ultra HD tv's but they are crazy expensive. The PS4 has the capabilities to display 4K pictures and video but not games. Just saying.

 

8Gb tons of memory?

I thought the same thing at first and I still think it about the Xbox 1. Xbox 1 has 8 GB of DDR3 RAM. I currently have 16 GB of DDR3 RAM in my Macbook Pro. This is pretty standard RAM for computers these days but 8 GB for a gaming console is not a lot, but this draws back to Microsoft's emphasis on cloud computing and processing for the Xbox 1. The PS4 on the other hand, has 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM, basically the best RAM you can get. The G stands for Graphics meaning that it is made to handle normal operations as well as graphics intensive ones.

KH3 could possibly get a Final Mix since all the other main titles have a Final Mix like BBS, KH1, and KH2.

It having a number wouldn't affect anything. Don't forget Chain of Memories got it's own Remake with additions equivalent to that of a Final Mix.

Well, im sure KH3D would have gotten one, if the Osaka team wasn't busy with other stuff. Nomura said in an interview that now's not the right time for a KH3DFM since the Osaka team has alot of other things to work on, so thats it.

 

With current technology, it would make more sense and would probably be more profitable to do a Final Mix DLC.  That would make it more likely for an international release too.

 

No, for Square, its more profitable to release A WHOLE NEW GAME. They make more money that way. I doubt it'd become DLC.

 

A= Sometimes import is even cheaperB= Final mix is always been in English voice except the (Some) text.

 

But why wouldn't they make a Final Mix if they did it also for 1 and 2.

 

How is import cheaper?

 

I know its in English Dub, BUT THATS NOT THE POINT. Of all the text is Japanese. NOT EVERY KH FAN CAN READ THAT. Even if you've played the original game, they could easily change the order of when you get abilities and there are also new ones. It makes the game more difficult. Especially when it comes to picking choices, since you have no idea what they're saying at times.

 

Because it doesn't need one. In the past only two of the FMS have been for actual additional content. KH1FM was because Americans got Sephiroth and Japan didn't. If KH3 takes a good while to make then they won't need an FM. 

 

And it would be easier than importing the Japanese kh2fm and then modding your ps2 by far

Also, if you've played the original game there's not much difference in the text. I played KH1fm and kh2fm just fine.

 

True. But you have to memorize what abilities you learn, and when. Otherwise, its alot harder to organize what your character can and can't do. And that can either help you breeze through the game, or get destroyed because you don't know which abilities are Once More and Leaf Bracer.

 

It having a number wouldn't affect anything. Don't forget Chain of Memories got it's own Remake with additions equivalent to that of a Final Mix.

Well that was a remake, so of course it'd be like a portable title version of FM. But it seems that mostly the main title games(including BBS, since its a prequel to KH1) get FM's and not the other games.

[Caity 3,946]

It would make more sense to make DLC for it.  But I really just expect, since it's been so long, for KH3 to be the completed version to once and for all finish the MX saga with tons of content.  But if they did release it in FM to only JP, it would sooner or later come to the PAL/NA regions and would be easier to import on PS3s (and PS4s maybe not sure if they are region free or not) because they're region free than any of the games were for PS2.

It having a number on it has NOTHING to do with it having a FM, Weiss. All the main titled KH games get FM to hint us toward what will happen next to the story. Plus, the fact that we always get extra content in the English version that is never in the original Japanese version of the main titles. SO a FM for KH3 is very likely since we could get extra content in the English version of it.

Exactly, my point.

[Oishii 3,987]

I disagree.  A whole new game would require extra marketing, cost for manufacturing and distribution, and then you have people who already own the original game but aren't willing to pay full price to buy the same game with extra content.  With DLC, they would just have to pay for the servers to host the content.  The marketing for it would be part of the marketing for the whole game.  More people would be likely to buy it because owners of the game wouldn't have to buy a whole new copy.  And if they bundle it right it could come to a greater end profit than releasing a new game.  There is a reason DLCs are so big.

 

That being said, I'm just saying what I think would be best for SE.  As we've seen, they haven't really been doing so well in the "best marketing strategies" standpoint.

[Rob 5,571]

I think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity with the HD collection. Depends on if Nomura has all the ideas he has and puts them into the first release of KH3 so that it doesnt warrant a FM.
