    I don't buy the idea that this is gonna take longer than DDD to localize, no matter if they re-record KH1, the script is already done for KH1 and Re:COM (sans a couple scenes in for Final Mix), dubbing has been worked on as far as we know for about a month. It sounds like they are just holding the game back for a bit for better sales or one can speculate a port is coming to Xbox which would require a bit more time

    If Nomura is telling the truth that KH3 won't start development until FFvsXIII is done then I have no doubt it will be on a console not named PS3 (Most likely PS4, but who knows), but if things have changed (considering the uncertainty with FFvsXIII I don't think Square will wait forever to make KH3) and KH3 is 2 years or less away it's not out of the question that KH3 will end up on PS3

    If it makes sense 3D was probably the better "game," but BBS was my choice. BBS was just a more satisfying game to play and was easier to get emotionally invested in the story and characters, while 3D meandered along and teased things that never got paid off despite having my favorite iteration of the combat system in the series

    Gonna play KHFM first, then probably watch days, and eventually play Re:CoM someday

    2.5 remix should feature a cleaned up KH2FM (which shouldn't be too difficult, I expect new character models and cleaned up textures, but this was a late generation PS2 game so not much to be done for a remaster) and KHBBSFM (this probably requires quite a bit more work, new character models, upscaling the resolution from the PSP version, either reworking or dropping the multiplayer altogether). I don't feel like a third game would be involved in this collection as a movie or addition; Coded falls into the trouble that Days had with 1.5, that the only easy solution is movie form and who would want to watch it? DDD feels too new to be remade anytime soon

    I agree that Square has no arrangement with Sony, but Final Fantasy isn't strictly on Sony systems (though they never left) as you have suggested look at the Nintendo handhelds getting spinoffs/remakes of FF games and Xbox getting FFXIII and its sequels. Kingdom Hearts has been on Nintendo consoles and mobile phones too. Square isn't nearly as devoted to any console as they were back in the PS1/PS2 days. As for this specific game it cannot be stressed enough that Square is making this gamefor the Japanese market first and foremost (international release is important but KH is seemingly more popular in Japan) that means PS3 is going to be the home console of choice at the moment for an HD remaster.

    Probably July, maybe a bit earlier but we would have heard a release date by now if it was coming in the next two-three months

    While yes if the game was programmed with PC in mind I have no doubt they could map out decent controls as you described, but I just don't think this series works as well without a controller (albeit that control scheme works brilliantly on other games). As for the emulator it is that bad since you are trying to program the PS2 controller on a keyboard (I personally just plug in a controller to my pc). I forgot to mention the other reason I don't think it will happen on PC is due to Square never putting a AAA Japanese franchise there before (FFVII/FFVIII being the exception)

    I'll go in the order I got them: KH1 (used) COM KH2 Re:Com Days BBS Re:Coded KH2FM BBSFM 3D

    Here are some reasons why this particular game will not be showing up to each proposed system outside of PS3: 1. Kingdom Hearts first and foremost a Japanese franchise first, and Xbox as everyone knows bombed hard in Japan so why port it there 2. Wii U is a new console in addition to having the second screen would require more resources to get it running which clearly is not the aim here since they worked on this game for more or less a year 3. Kingdom Hearts is a game best designed to be played with a controller, having attempted to play KH1/2 on an emulator with the keyboard is almost unplayable so I highly doubt a PC release will ever happen in the near future Who knows what the future holds for new installments but I don't think it will be multiplatform anytime soon

    I have a couple things that bug me about the fan base: 1. As stated by many above "I want KH3 and forget playing the portable entries because they aren't important" 2. Fans who view the series as perfect and can't take any bit of criticism about the series (to be clear I'm not talking about the trolling where someone rips it to shreds and then qualifies it by saying I am a fan)
  12. jtshiro
    He probably got slapped on the wrist for doing that, also with voice recordings going on now the game could be out not too long after its out in Japan.
  13. jtshiro
    The battlesystem is a reason to stick with the series for me. Though I loved DDD's story at times I felt like the end of the story with all the shocking twists out of left field is going to wreck KH3's story which could lose my interest in the series going forward
  14. jtshiro
    I think its going to be KH2FM, BBSFM, and maybe re:coded and DDD cutscenes for KH2.5 remix in 2014
  15. jtshiro
    It can be looked at in two different ways 1. Newcomers can be introduced to the series since we are talking about a game that was released 10 years ago in KH1's case and create additional interest for both new games and games that are still on the market (Days and Re:Coded for DS, BBS on PSP, and DDD on 3DS 2. The hardcore fans will get a polished up version of the original with minor changes, which in Japan thats the only new thing. For Europe and America we can get a chance (barring a silly decision to not release it) to play the Final Mix version for the first time officially
  16. jtshiro
    Zero EXP in KH1 would be quite a bit harder than the later games that already have it, but I welcome that challenge
  17. jtshiro
    It will be announced soon enough (gonna guess in a couple days or early January), I'm betting on a Summer release
  18. jtshiro
    Lingering Will from KH2 FM is the hardest boss in KH I've ever played, Mysterious Figure in BBS was also quite difficult
  19. jtshiro
    Gonna guess sometime between January and March in Japan, and sometime between July-September everywhere else. Though I have to get used to SE not announcing games in the concept stage and making everyone wait for years (see: KH2, FFXII, the first wave of FFXIII games)
  20. jtshiro
    SE has always been weird about announcing things in NA and Europe (namely announcing their games like no one but the japanese knows they are coming), expect it a few months before its release in these territories.
  21. jtshiro
    Looks like they cleaned up some of the rough patches in the original (smooth motions and much improved textures), My only fear with a Western release is that Square is going to troll everyone and give us the American version of KH1 instead of Final Mix (of course not that huge of a difference in this case but it would set a bad precedent regarding the Final Mixes considering KH2FM makes KH2 a heck of a lot better). Other than that I'm looking forward to replaying these two games
  22. jtshiro
    Just wanted to note that Final Mixes are english releases with japanese subtitles (except for new scenes which feature no voice acting). Now to the topic, I'm less than shocked by this development, a little dissapointed by the decision to not fully remake Days using perhaps the BBS/DDD engine rumored months ago. Fully expect this will be released in the United States since remasters like this always get released overseas (considering how this series sells) I would imagine not too long after since the original Final Mix added only a few scenes, one secret boss, and the deep dive. Now a KH 2.5 HD which I hope would feature KH2 FM, BBS FM, and maybe Coded/DDD cutscenes (I can't imagine a full fledged remake so soon after its initial release) would be a great package considering how much stuff was added to KH2 alone in its FM.
  23. jtshiro
    Would I be shocked if the hd collection happens? No. I do think the message in KH3D refers to the Tera Aqua Ven awakening and that it will be coming to an unspecified home console
  24. jtshiro
    Expect info on Versus XIII (release window perhaps), maybe a little KH stuff (remasters or KH3 announcement)
  25. jtshiro
    It is a graphics engine developed by Square Enix that runs on this generation's hardware (PS3/360 and most likely Wii U as well)
