Please vote for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix!

And, done!  Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix has my vote for sure!

Kingdom Hearts, naturally.

No. X/X-2 HD Remaster was better.

Well, X had remastered music, replaced models, but animations were a bit downgraded. X-2 was just an upacale.

 

2.5 had all that, except instead of downgraded animations, we got longer load times.

I disagree. No option to skip cutscenes and a lot of the new music was way too different from the original style in FFX. The remastered music in KH2 is pretty spot on.

I actually liked a lot of the redone tracks in X/X-2, but the lack of "skip cutscene" option is pretty damning. KH has always had the more interesting gameplay of the two anyway, so I voted that.

Boss battles too hard for you? KH2.5 is loaded with bugs despite being completely handled by division 3 and as a result delayed KH3.

Not really it's just that I have played the original game multiple times and know the plot like the back of my hand, I can see it not being a problem if it's your first time through. I just finished 100% KH2FM and BBSFM and I didn't run into any bugs so I wouldn't really say its loaded with bugs like say, Skyrim for example.

Can't tell me the drive forms are supposed to take that long. Lol.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 for me, by far. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX was a lazy port, in my opinion. 

Did not get either one but from what Nora has seen from the trailers....er....Nora will go KH2.5

Can't tell me the drive forms are supposed to take that long. Lol.

That isn't a bug. It's a limitation of Blu-rays reading speed. Annoying nonetheless.

Hardly.

No. I don't think 2.5 deserves it. It was a rushed product. Obviously wasn't tested.

the only problems kingdom hearts 2.5 had were loading times other then that the game was flowless the remastered soundtracks were great and the graphics were beutiful the game as a whole was exelent also i LOVED FINAL FANTASY 10 HD it's by far the best final fantasy so far not including XV if square were to remake 7 , 8 or 9 then that's a different story althogether but yeah

Flawless? The combat needed work.

 

And they're never going to remake VII, VIII or IX.

The fanboy is strong in this thread lol.

I thought we were judging remaster efforts rather than the games in full? Is that not what this poll is for?

I really can't argue against FFX/X-2 HD Remaster since I didn't play it (and don't have intentions to), but I don't see KH2.5 as shitty as many players see.

 

"Lots of bugs, was very bad, poor made"

> Drive Form/D-Link load time

> Load times

 

That is the "LOTS OF BUGS, HORRIBLE DONE HD REMASTER" because of the Blu-Ray disc, not because of Square's """""lazyness"""""

 

BTW, voted for 2.5. firetruck FFX.

Hardly.

Definitely itely, more like. Loading has everything to do with getting the data off the disc, and PS3 games that dont install data always have longer load times for anything than digital copies or installations. FFX HD is a decent example of this.I don't know if the drive load times could have been improved with some extra coding or not, but it's certainly a product of the games overall game design and code architecture rather than just an overlooked bug.

Same here and said pretty much what I was gonna say. I have yet to encounter any bugs in 2.5 and have used the drive form loaidng to my advantage since it makes me invincable and while the loading times between worlds are not great it's more a fault of the PS3 and not the game itself but TRUELY GAMEBREAKING BUGS!!!!11!!!

 

Voted for 2.5. Firetruck FF X/X-2.

I own both FFX|X-2 HD Remaster and KH HD 2.5 ReMIX, but haven't had the chance to play either yet.

 

However, I'd definitely vote for Kingdom Hearts, love the series!

I've probably put in more than 100 hours of KH2.5, and I can honestly say that this game is anything BUT full of bugs. I have not experienced any bugs the whole time playing except one instance, but cleaning the disc made it all better. Everything in 2.5 looks better. Animations, Character Models, Music, SOME Background environments got new textures, keyblades were revamped to look better, it's a really well-polished product that DOES IN FACT look better than 1.5 did. Okay, the load times are kinda long, but you can't blame them when they have put in there new textures that also takes up more space and also processes more things for the game to load. They could have tried speeding the load times up, but aside from that, it doesn't really bother you once you get used to it. KH1.5 and KH2.5 are definitely the definitive way for newcomers to play the games. 

 

Now I've never played FFX or X-2 HD Remasters, but from what I've seen, the animations and background environments don't look nearly as good as an improvement as KH2.5 does. Just my opinion. Looks good but not that great.
