This kinda just popped up in my head, so i was playing the original Kingdom Hearts for PS2 (but if I had a ps3 to play hd, i'd be playing that), and I wondered: since in KHFM they recolored the Heartless, shouldn't they keep that recolorization (if that's a word ) in CoM? I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? Instead of reverting the colors back to the old ones?

 

By the way, which is your favorite color difference? Mine is Search Ghost, he just looks so much spookier...

The only differences I don't like is Guard Armor and Wyvern, I think their originals were much better.

I'm guessing the inexperienced Osaka team had to use the original colours for some reason.

I didn't really like any of the re-colors, most of them were too brightly colored and took away the dark, you-need-to-kill-these-things-as-soon-as-possible feel of the game. Guard Armor especially in this case, I HATE Guard Armor's re-color. And then some of them got the color sucked out of them, like the Large Bodies and Soldiers. There were some I liked, not a lot though. While I liked Halloweentown's Heartless original colors, their re-colors reminded me of Oogie's song, which probably was the point.

The Phantom looks sick. And some of the Behemoths just look way too good. 

The search ghost & the gargoyle are pretty cool.

I hate how Wveryn is so...bright. 

Wasn't it obvious? 
They were shiny in FM, duh.
Gotta catch them all
only kidding I don't want to sound like a douche

Maybe they didn't think about it?

 

Either way, they all look amazing

I liked the re-coloring, however I may not be one to give an opinion, since I'm very easy to please!

I personally prefer the originals since they're what I'm more used to, but most of the recolors haven't bugged me so far, either. I don't mind that CoM/Re:CoM kept the original colors, though.

Now I want a shiny heartless! D':

I'm guessing the inexperienced Osaka team had to use the original colours for some reason.

GBA CoM was made by the TOKYO TEAM which has normal colors. OSAKA just remade it for the PS2. Plus there was no FM reCoM. They only get recolored if there was a FM.

The Phantom looks sick. And some of the Behemoths just look way too good. 

I simply love Final Mix version of the Behemoth! (My favourite one is Arch Behemoth.)

Phantom is HELLA SICK, way cooler than the original

That big first heartless you face in traverse town, it's so beautiful!

I'm fine with it as long as they aren't as colorful and shiny as Dream Eaters.

I was hoping they'd change the colors of Re:CoM. Not changing it would be confusing for people who never played the original versions

actually i didn't get why they recolored the heartless... i liked it the way they were....

I think they should left soldiers and large bodies alone!

yeah some have really ugly colors D:
