Posted December 2, 201212 yr It is stupid that they kept it from us. I think everybody should be able to play it.
December 2, 201212 yr KH13 Retrieval Squad mobilize. Target, Kh Final Mix. Proceed with caution, over.
December 2, 201212 yr Honestly, I'm not sure, but I think its something along the lines of "Due to Square Enix being a Japanese gaming company, they created Kingdom Hearts Final Mix games strictly for Japan to give back to the Japanese gamers. Basically it's just Square Enix taking part in Nationalism." Also, It's probably also got something to do with the fact that they dont think they will make enough money from it.
December 2, 201212 yr Japan felt bad because the american and european release had extra content that the original japanese version didn't (Mainly the super bosses, I don't recall anything else.) So Japan decided to re-release the game with the extra content we had, plus some more things, to make us feel bad.
December 2, 201212 yr It is stupid that they kept it from us. I think everybody should be able to play it. I come back to poke around the site and see a post from hatok that doesn't induce the urge to procreate. What the hell happened while I was gone ;A; Also, I can understand Squeenix' train of thought. They're based in Japan and want their home audience to still feel special and all that crap, trying to boost sales for their franchise in the home front. It all comes down to business tactics.
December 2, 201212 yr I think it's just because of how successful rereleases are in Japan. I mean, look at all of the Final Fantasy "International" rereleases that come out in Japan after the game is localized for other territories.So I guess they figure no one outside of Japan would want to buy the same game twice. <_<
December 3, 201212 yr the only "International" version SE has released in NA/EU is Stare Ocean The Last Hope.... all other games are "Japan version with extra contents" in NA/EU and then re-released with even more contents in Japan as "International" or in case of KH as "Final Mix" I know that Nomura said that he will release a Final Mix in the west someday, too but you know....up to now no FM for us so HD ReMIX ist the best chance to do this now! if not....I can see a lot of angry KH fans
December 6, 201212 yr Guess they didn't want to make their home country feel left out from the extra content we were given and also I kinda see the HD Remix as the Final Mix version for us, idk...
December 6, 201212 yr I guess they just want to troll us, and show us they have better stuff Damn you Japan, aren't you cool enough?
December 17, 201212 yr I dont know. At that time, would I really want a game thats the same, but has a bit more content? I would, not sure about the majority.
December 18, 201212 yr Conspiracy theory maybe? Probably because they didn't think it would sell too well in other countries. Edited December 18, 201212 yr by Keysofblades
January 25, 201312 yr Personally, the Final Mix content would warrant a purchase from me. But I guess Square didn't think enough people would pick it up.
January 25, 201312 yr becouse japan rules. theres no way that theyed get better stuffthan us. but i'm still against it not being relesed here.
February 13, 201312 yr What scares me is... do we know that the English 1.5 will still be the Final Mix version?
February 13, 201312 yr What scares me is... do we know that the English 1.5 will still be the Final Mix version? We don't know for sure but honestly it would take so much more work for them to remove the content for the English version. Not worth their time to do it honestly so I think it'll be the FM version.
It is stupid that they kept it from us. I think everybody should be able to play it.
