Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX cover revealed

Recommended Posts

When I saw the news collectors pack revealed I though would the cover been out? Yes there it is :).

I prefered more the 1.5 with more colors. At least they want to be original. Good job!

I was expecting something similar to 1.5.  While it looks kinda neat, MX's very detailed old face makes everyone look baby faced.  I think the KH pixelization pattern they did would have been nicer fading from the bottom up of the case up instead of at the end of the characters 'cause with all the people and keyblades it does look very cluttered and messy.  Plus there is room for Kairi either beside Roxas or between Aqua and Mickey, even BBS age Kairi just.  The picture looks better with the PS3 strip and cropped at the bottom than without.  I thought 1.5 was beautiful when it was revealed, this doesn't blow me away at all.  The concept was good but the execution failed in my opinion.

 

- I don't think that Ansem SOD was suppose to be in the cover because his role was not that much in these three games, but I do understand what they meant to do by putting him behind MX with Xemnas.

 

I didn't think that was Xemnas behind him, I thought it looked more like Terranort to me, Xemnas hair in art form is pretty much like Ansem SOD's with more divided spikes at the top and side strips of hair fanning backwards on the side, with a curtain fringe. Which just makes it seem like they threw Ansem SOD in to make it symmetrical to me.

What's wrong with all these people complaining about the cover? My god, it's AMAZING. Nothing looks confusing at all, I prefer this to 1.5's cover. This one is a perfect mash-up of the chapters in question, without being organized in sections. I've noticed too that the drawings looks different than the usual, more cartoony and youngish, but that doesn't mean they are bad; quite the contrary in my opinion: I think the drawing technique is rather original and fresh, indeed different, but just as beautiful as all the others. Plus, the way this ArtWork was conceived is clearly an anticipation of Kingdom Hearts III, in my opinion: the way Xehanort and his other selves are disposed, behind the Heroes, bigger sized, hints of course that Xemnas and Ansem SOD are part of the same person as we already knew, but also that they are conspiring against the Heroes, lurking in the darkness, ready to meet the Lights in the final clash. Also, am I the only one who perceive a sense of anticipation in the characters presence? I know they are there to represent the chapters in the 2.5 bundle, but this ArtWork just gives me a strong sense of Kingdom Hearts III, a feeling of an impending return; and as I said already, I'm quite sure this cover was meant to transmit this feeling xD

What I don't like about it is Xehanort looks like Yoda and Gollum had a baby. Creepy? I agree! Anyhow, I think there faces are too young, and they don't at all look like they are aware of each others presence. I liked seeing them interact like in other ones, I think they crammed too much in, regardless, I'm pre-ordering! 

Cheers,

The nort brothers on the cover look so creepy! But the one in the middle, Master Xehanort, tops the list, he looks like a creepier version of King Bumi from Avatar: the Last Airbender: Book 2: Earth. That's alot of :'s, don'cha think?
