January 14, 201411 yr I believe I read it off-hand in one of the interviews. No need to facepalm--it's not a tidbit that was at the forefront of things.
January 14, 201411 yr I have hard times believing the entire game was made from scratch. If it were, then it would have been a lot different from the original.
January 14, 201411 yr ...Are we facepalming cause this is well known by the majority of people who call themselfves a KH fan?
January 15, 201411 yr well it is not lost forever, some of them are lost..but not all of them. if I'm not misunderstood with the interviews, it is true that all the original assets of KH is lost, so they ripped back information, cutscenes, sound etc. from the KH cd and use the info and make the game from scratch. "-- Can you let fans know what’s been involved in the process of remastering Kingdom Hearts for the HD 1.5 ReMIX? Nomura: KH1 was created a long time ago, so actually the original data was missing. We had to research and dig out from the games and recreate everything. Then, we had to redo the graphics, and it was actually not that easy." source: http://kh13.com/news/37026-nomura-interviewed-about-kingdom-hearts-iii-hd-1-5-remix before making a conclusion, please do some research.
