HD 1.5 ReMIX in the November 22 Famitsu: full translation & scans

DChiuch

By DChiuch

The latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, releasing on November 22, 2012, has contained a one-page article about Tai Yasue, the co-director of the Kingdom Hearts series. The article lists his works, and has a small interview with him. There is also a short feature about Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX, where it is revealed that the development is at 80-90%, and a post-game element is being considered. Read on for our scans, and the full translation thanks to our translator, goldpanner.

---Moving on from that, with you working on the Kingdom Hearts series under Mr. Nomura, which title left the deepest impression on you?

Yasue: Birth by Sleep. It was like being in a dream. We packed in everything under the sun, so the busy period was hell (laughs). That said, having produced the remake title Re:Chain of Memories before that meant my team understood the series and things went along with the groundwork having been laid, and 3D was an important title that 'connected to the future of the series', so I have strong memories of all the titles.

---Mr. Yasue, please tell us the ideals you uphold and the points you take care with when producing games.

Yasue: I do everything I can to create something fun. I want to make games that are packed with a particular characteristic style. I think that the 'energy' I felt playing FFVII is important. With our recent titles it has been difficult to leave wiggle room because it always comes at a cost, but everyone on my team is highly motivated to incorporate new gameplay, so that's an area we attack without pulling any punches. When we get obsessed with an interesting idea, we get so wrapped up in it that we even lose our appetite for food and sleep. I want to always relish that feeling with my fellow staff.

New Titles from Mr. Yasue
Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX-
[PS3/Square Enix/TBA 2013/price TBA]
A HD remastering of three titles from the series. Among them, one title has been remade as a video volume. When we asked Mr. Yasue about development progress, he said 'Development is at about 80~90%. For this title we have been updating character and scenery textures as well as the controls. Right now we are considering some small element to add as a perk for clearing the game.'

I can't imagine what the "special feature" could be...

only new cups in the arena or a "special mode"...I really don't know >_<

but maybe something you'll get a trophy for...

nope voice acting is done first in Kingdom Hearts as well as many other animated films/games... It`s probably marketing or working out bugs and stuff, most likely its business stuff..

 

Guys I don`t think it`ll be coming to NA mainly because it`s almost complete and usually the game would have been announced for NA/EU already... just keep your fingers crossed!

I literally can't even fathom what the new feature could be.

So happy to see more news about this! Was pretty dead for a good while o.O

Maybe PVP wireless battles? The ps3 would be able to handle REAL wireless fights (PSP and DS needed you to be in the same room). I hope so

I'm thinking because besides 1.5 the only other KH project they may be working on is probably 2.5 and we dont really need a Secret Movie for that....or do we.

No, they need you to mouthwatering and sought after and serve the proud of the japanese nation not to buckle of the american threat. *rofl* :D

 

Okay, I don't know what da fuss is all about for Nomura to play of the american fans against the japanese ones. Why don't he follows Capcoms example for multi lingual releases. :(

Square usually shows the release date for the Japanese release first, and once that is out they tell us the NA/EU release date. Calm down. Don't get upset about it not coming over to the west unless Nomura says it himself.

Just 20-10% and the HD collection is set ready to be sold! :D

 

Not necessarily. It depends on what Nomura means in terms of completion. If they are simply done programming, voicing, animating, enhancing that sort of thing, there's still the process of getting the game finalized, creating packaging, getting it re-rated, There are quite a few steps after 'completion'

Now, if he means complete as a whole, then yes, the game will be on store shelves very soon :D

Even though they are almost done, SE must be waiting for a perfect upcoming gaming event or something where they would announce the game. Then again it's just what I think...

There better be a way to transfer a PS2 save file to the HD release. I spent forever and a half to get all of my abilities,weapons, accessories, and armor. Even if its a New Game + that would be challenging enough to alow the transfer would be perfectly acceptable for me.

that won't be possible...sorry

it will be hard for everyone who spend a lot of time to get everything, but it's like a new game and you have to do all again...even if you start a new game with your PS2 version

 

only PSX save files are transferable from PSP to PS3 and vice versa, but not PS2

Well I see no reason why they wouldn't simply take the English voices already done and use those. Isn't that what the original KHFM did in Japan anyway? If not, that would make 1.5 the first English release of a KH game with Japanese voices.

actually, if you can find it, there is an adapter for the ps3 that released years ago that allows you to copy your ps2 save files to the ps3. even so, it won't work with the HD re-releases

Okay, how much you wanna bet that they've already started the international release's production and that the VAs are keeping it on the down-low? :huh:

@darklunatic and ShiningFantasia12

 

Square Enix never used Japanese voices for a release in the west

always English voices with subs

the only exception is Star Ocean International for PS3 which has even German, French etc subs on the Japanese version...a true international version

ah...and before I forget it...Last Remnant for PC has Japanese, too

 

 

technically it would be possible to make all 4 dubs available (Epic Mickey 2 has 6 in the EU version), but we all know Square....they won't do it

in case of FFXIII they said that Japanese AND English would be possible and they will think about to make both available, but in the end it was only with English voices

the ones who wanted Japanese voices with English subs had to import the Chinese/HK version

 

the FMs of KH had English voices because English is the native language of all Disney films, cartoons etc

 

and I don't worry about English voices for ReMIX and it doesn't matter to me if there will be Japanese voices in the west release or not

I want the dub in my language back!!!
