PlayAsia.com is now accepting preorders for Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD.

This may not be big news, but for anyone who wanted to preorder the Japanese title but couldn't understand how to, because all of the previous sites accepting preorders were in Japanese, PlayAsia.com is accepting them now.

 

The link is here:

http://www.play-asia.com/Kingdom_Hearts_HD_1.5_Re_MIX/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-70-5hul.html

 

The price is 82.50 in US Dollars, and will ship out on March 13th.

Also, could the thumbnail provide clues to the box art of the game? Hmm.

 

Happy New Year!

If this isn't localized I may have to import it. I've never imported a game before because I don't know Japanese but I am NOT letting this one slip through my fingers. Good thing there's a dual audio option. I've never had any doubt that it would come stateside but for some reason the closer the JP release gets the more worried I become. 3 months if there's no news of an ENG version within two or three weeks after that I may end up importing it.

I doubt Re:CoM will have the dual audio, just Final Mix. and I imported BBS lol because I couldn't wait, and it wasn't that hard to follow. And this'll probably be a lot easier, because we've played the English versions before.

Yeah, we've seen that image a alot. Looks likely it'll be the cover art.

 

Actually it's been more of an issue of websites accepting orders outside of Japan. Amazon.co.jp for one is not accepting orders outside of Japan.

I guess I didn't see where they confirmed dual audio, but if it does happen and it isn't released here I might import it. I'm not that familiar with region locks and such though.

Thank you. But I'm always skeptical, especially because some members in the thread are still debating whether it's true.

Square Enix aren't going to lie. Lol.

63 euros for a game ?!! That's funny.

it's not A game...there are TWO games and a "movie"

so you get THREE things for a low price imo

 

or did you mean that the price is funny because it's low?

No why should i pay 63 euros for games that i have played and seen more than 2 times ? And anyways i can't afford a PS3 console.

because you mentioned Euros I think you're European....

I'm from Europe, too so I give you my pros for this:

 

-Final Mix Version of the game => more contents than the original game => never came out outside Japan

-Re:Chain of Memories => never came out in Europe

-around 2 hours of Days cutscenes => like a movie => new for everyone

 

and the price is from the Japanese version....so the price will be a bit lower in Europe...maybe around 50-55€ (in Germany)

Yeah, I just signed up yesterday. As long as I don't have to convert yen, I'm buying from Play-Asia. 

I don't think a hd collection is usually that much. I thought it would be in the range from 35-40 euro. That's what the metal gear solid hd collection costed when it was new, I think.

I thought this was a mistranslation and was replaced by this:

 

"The English voicing has been changed to Japanese voicing"

Wasn't it?

hmmm....

A bit much for a game and out of my budget so I guess I'll wait to get it.

Does it really matter? We all know what he's talking about.

Ugh, I'm really just clinging on to the hope of a localization here. i WILL import if I must, but seriously Square, Disney, you guys know we want this. Please localize it for us.

63 euros for a game ?!! That's funny.

 

Then Australia will be hell for you.

 

Of course it's going to get localised, guys. I'm pretty sure KH3D wasn't announced for international audiences until something like a month post-Japanese release. Similar situation for BBS. Another example I'm thinking from a different series; Pokémon games aren't announced in the US until after JP release (the only exception I can think of at the moment is Black and White 2).

I already pre ordered my japanese copy of the game already.

Sora96, Rodolofo just explained my doubt. Also, I wouldn't say they lied just that it might have been a mistranslation. You are the part of the News & Content team though, so I'll take your word for it.

but in case of Pokémon we all know that the main games are coming 100% to the west...because it's one of the best selling game franchises from Nintendo

but in case of Square Enix games....you can't be sure

Type-0 didn't get a localization even after over one year after the JP release....why? we don't know

 

because we all are talking about KH....you only have to look at the game releases in Europe that explains why a lot of people (including me) don't believe in a western release

=> no dubs after KH II => one point where SE can save money

=> no Re:CoM => for Europe the game in 1.5 has to be fully localized because no translations for it exists => costs money

=> DDD with Multi-3 instead of Multi-5 and no special Edition for EU => saved money

=> no FMs outside Japan => could be always Japan only to make Japan "special"

 

in short: a NA release is more likely than a EU (and Australian) release because a EU localizations costs more

because of that a lot of games came only with English (text) language here in Europe
