Update 1: Message from the KINGDOM has provided us with more information about Kingdom Hearts for PC Browsers. Oishii from KH13 is translating this information, and you can read it below.

In memory of this year being the 10th Anniversary of the "Kingdom Hearts" series, we are compiling a collection of the first works "Kingdom Hearts" and "KH Re:Chain of Memories" in HD. Furthermore, 2009’s Nintendo DS game "KH 358/2 Days", which received much credit for its enjoyable story, will be compiled as well.

“Kingdom Hearts” (first work) game’s later release with various additional content “KH Final Mix” (Japanese language release) will receive an entire HD rendition.
With the two HD remakes, we will add fully remade HD event scenes from Nintendo’s DS game “KH 358/2 Days”. This remake will give a new feeling to the series, and the 3 editions to the series will be a collection you should look forward to.

Furthermore, KH and KH Re:CoM will also support PlayStation 3's trophy system.

    So, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix has just been announced.

    So most likely before KH3 comes out they will release KH2.5

    KH2.5 I would think would have KH2FM, Re:Coded cutscenes, and if possible KH3D.

    I think it'd be really cool if they did this but the only thing is that, then we have to wait longer for KH3..

    Anyway, just wanted to share my idea! :)

    I feel like Kingdom Hearts 2.5 (if there will be one) would be released in 2014, but who knows. I don't think it would delay Kingdom Hearts III that much, if any. 2.5 might even be released before KHIII starts development. :P

    You do realize we will be waiting a long time for KH3 ? Releasing these collections is to appease us in the meantime if anything.

    2.5 will probably have KH2FM, KHBBSFM, and cutscenes of coded. DDD Probably wont be remastered, as it was released 2 months ago.

    they won't do KH3D, it will be BBSFM

     

    I would love that!

    But the only thing is 2.5

    BBS is like... KH0

    But it would be awesome.

    I know, but it would make more sense.

    And their not starting development until FF Versus XIII is released.

    i read the article, than looked at the comments and laughed completely. so where do they get those 95% figures from exactly ? theres no way for them to know 95% of their games are being pirated unless they see it on other peoples machines, and as the comments said they are probobly just doing it to avoid the fact that not many people want to buy their games. and if games need some kind of online connection to prevent piracy than that still leaves square with a lot of options.

     

    number 1, do it with steam and while unlikely would give them the online component that they need through the startup and achievement system. 2 have some kind of required connection to square servers.

    Yeah... I didn't read the articles. Because I'm a hypocrite xD My point was still relevant though... Just for some perspective, on one torrent site, new game releases generally have 1000-2000 people leeching and old games have 100-200. This is pretty constant, so you can have some idea of the scale, and taking into account the average number of people each person shares the games with... also they could do anonymous surveys and stuff, which would allow them to create a confidence interval and, if they came to the conclusion of 95%, it would mean 95 +/- 5%...

     

    I dislike required connections but they are the best way to prevent piracy. It worked for Diablo because the game was built around the concept but, for a collection of last-gen games, adding required internet connection isn't well justified.

    My point is, if they do another collection (and thats if ) it wouldnt delay KH3. It wouldnt even be the same teams working on these projects anyways.

    Well it seems like the PC game is gonna be a FB game but waiting for more news on it.

    What? It's not a Facebook game. It's a PC browser game. Which means that it'll have its own website "like www.kh-for-pc-browsers-and-not-facebook.com" that you can sign up on and play the game from there. There is no way Square Enix would make a KH game for Facebook. Well, besides this one: http://www.khwiki.net/Kingdom_Hearts_Re:coded_Gummiship_Studio

     

    Anyway, on the subject of the 20 seconds of off-screen footage, at least we have confirmation that the health and magic bars will remain the same way they were in the original game. :P

    some 1 time registration would be an idea though, maybe even registering required for each new PC the game gets played on so you cant just move the file to a new computer. I actually love steam for stuff like this, it fights DRM and is awesome! who needs to pirate games when you have steam sales.

     

    and KH could be one or the other with how hyped people are, it may be a last gen game but its one that was on PS2 and never playable on current gen consoles. while that isnt enough you still have the fact that final mix content is thrown in there as well which might not be that big for japan but for here its awesome and a huge incentive to buy outside of reliving childhood memories. and if it was on PC mods would add onto hype as well. think of the possibilitys! kicking ansem SoD in the nuts!

    They will either make Kingdom Hearts 2.5 (KH2FM, KHBBSFM, KHC cutscenes) or a Kingdom Hearts Origins/Handheld Collection (BBSFM, KHC)

    I'm pissed off that they could manage to put a card game within this game and not 358/2 days. sure it wasnt the best of games but think of all the possibilities. online missions with friends as the freakn organization 13!! plus the gameplay graphics for that game were pretty crappy compared to the other games (considering it was on the ds). if they're going to put chain of memories they should at least put this game as well.

    Then they would have to redo basically everything about Days' modelling and whatnot so that'll probably take forever. (But don't exactly quote me on that because I'm not experienced in that area.)

    It would take a lot more work to port a DS game than a PS2 game. You're exactly right. If anything, you're understating it.

    Looks awesome, seems they are already getting alot of it done so I hope for a early 2013 release in japan and a mid to late release in america and the rest of the world. Plus was it ever said if its just the CGI scenes in days that are being in HD or all of them? Cause I don't think I remember the scene they showed in the trailer...I think the one they showed was a in-game cut scene from the game.

     

    Nevermind I found out that some text scenes from Days will in fact be made in to HD cutscenes, probably the most important and story driven scenes.
