HD 1.5 ReMIX Limited Edition unboxing video released


Sora96

Updated September 11, 2013, see below.

A YouTube user has uploaded an unboxing of the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Limited Edition. The video shows the Limited Edition's special case and artbook. You can watch it below.

The artbook contains a special message from series director Tetsuya Nomura, and this message can be read below.

Over 10 years have passed since we released the first Kingdom Hearts game. My only regret was never releasing Kingdom Hearts Final Mix overseas, so i am very pleased to now give fans everywhere a chance to play it, this time in its best format - full high- definition.

Revisiting the first game, i don't think it feels like a 10 year-old game, despite some unrefined elements. Everything was new experience for me back then. It was extremely challenging to create a completely new game system and series. However, i think Kingdom Hearts Final Mix still feels like a new game because the passion of our creative efforts i still felt in the game itself to this day.

The Kingdom Hearts Series would not have lasted this long without the incredible support from you, the fans. Response to your passion towards the Kingdom Hearts series, i will continue to create something you can all enjoy playing for the next several decades.

Tetsuya Nomura

Um, how do you know that the US version won't get it? And what's it matter? You'll still get the artbook if you pre-ordered. Sides, Japan probably has an even better version than Europe (sorry UK fans).

They don't...JP's version is by far the worst. They didn't even get the artbook OR the theme. Just the game in its normal case. HAHA JAPAN. HAHA!!! WE WIN THIS TIME!!

 

But watch: For KH3, they're going to have a limited edition that comes with a Sora figure in his new clothes dual wielding metal removable Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades, and a rare metal collector's case for the game. That glows in the dark. All for 10 bucks extra. Everyone else?: Free stickers. Yaaaay!!!

 

 

Not everywhere I go. The artbook's never mentioned on the site anymore, but all advertisement for the game that goes to GameStop, advertises the book.

Yeah, I meant the site. But the Gamestop I called told me that while they're still advertising the book, it doesn't necessarily mean we'll get it. Since they might only be shipped a limited supply, the "x" amount of books they had, would go to the first "x" amount of people that pre-ordered, which would make sense.

 

I'm so glad I pre-ordered this game within the first few days we were able to lol.

Why would they do that when they can just purchase that? The amount of KH merch in Japan is amazing.

Well if they've said that, then we should still be receiving the artbook nonetheless. They should be more informative though, as advertising is really going downhill and is misleading now.

I was just trying to make a point that JP usually gets the amazing bundles while we're left with bullshit.

You're telling me you don't recall them getting a better limited edition than us EVERY other time? (not just for Kingdom Hearts)

Well, for one thing, I remember getting the delux special anniversary edition of Kingdom Hearts 3D, which EVERYONE got, but no, that couldn't possibly be good enough.

Skimmed through the video (don't want to see the contents of the artbook) and I really like the psckaging! Was a bit surprising at first that they didn't have a separate game case inside the box with the disc inside that and just put the disc in the book itself, but it does make it seem a bit more fancy.

And yeah, the NA packaging is the same. Some pics from an eBay listing:

That is probably what will happen, the Gamestop online page, always said that the book would came in a limited quantity, so it seems those who wake up early will get it first.

 

Though a Gamestop employee from my local Gamestop, told me that aslong as I had pre-ordered the game, it is assured that I will receive the artbook, but just in case, nagging is always a good way to get there early, specially if the person is young or at school, like me. Though I hope there is a Midnight launch for the game, and atleast give some items in the launch to those who can't go to major events.

Whining? Who's whining?

 

 

Once again, I've been duped out of something "special." Unless of course, copies here that get the artbook are like this and we get the dynamic theme code on a receipt. I kind of doubt that first part though.

 

That would be considered whining. Complaining that someone else got something better than you (which neither you or any of the rest of us have yet by the way), and then claiming that you were "duped" by some other country's marketing plan so that you wouldn't get what you suddenly want. There's no rationality behind it. That person got the "special edition" because he went the extra mile. Again, you could waste your money to try and do that, or use it instead for the pre-order that you've been saving up for. Your choice, no one is trying to get in your way.

 

Also, this is only my opinion so it probably doesn't hold that much credibility, but I'm pretty sure the UK's "special edition" is the exact same thing as the US pre-order, they just renamed it to boost more sales. If I'm wrong though, I'm gonna laugh, because that's happened to me so many times before that it's just worth laughing about.

I hope that's not the case. Freaking college is going to keep me until noon, and if that's what happens, then I'll be screwed over by the time my class is out.

Oh, so you read into that one single line? I wasn't whining/complaing. I was just saying something at the moment that my entire second sentence retracts. It's honestly nothing at that point. I do that a lot. But yes the is a Limited Edition in the US, that I've only seen available at Amazon, though it's out of stock. This caused a scare that those who preordered the game for the book at GameStop were possibly not getting it. I preordered the game before any gift was announced. SE has actually done a poor job with marketing the game recently though.

I'd assume you'd get the book so long as you ordered it while they still said they had copies to give away. The book's not even on GameStop's website anymore.

Lol its okay you don't have to be sorry i was just wondering ^.^ I'll be mad though if i don't get it!

 

Yeah, like I said above, SE has done poorly with marketing this title recently. So poor they didn't even bother telling their fans there was a Limited Edition.

I doubt it's first come first serve in that manner, but those who preordered while the books were in stock will be getting them. It'd kinda be unfair otherwise.
