By the way, I think all of them were sitting in the original cutscene but in this they are all standing.
Axel: I've got it!
Roxas: Huh? Got what?
Axel: Let's go to the beach next time we get a day off.
Xion: The beach? Where did that come from?

It was announced at the TGS.

 

I think he was reffering to the lines that Sora says in KH1.

Hmm.....Could it be possible that they release the best ones (i.e. KHII/BBS) with KHIII.....It would make sense, considering it IS nomura logic.

I personally think we will get it, seeing as we have the Secret Message in our copies of Kingdom Hearts 3D as well :)

I'm sorry. No. Chai of Memories is THE most important game in the series. Every game after it relates back to it in some way. It's VITAL.

 

I don't recall saying that it wasn't important. I don't think I recall being a really cool fangirl and saying "OMG like, days is totes more important than CoM guyz, this is ghey." Cause I would have punched myself in the face repeatedly for talking like a douchebag.

 

I know that CoM is more important in regards to plot than Days.

 

Fact is; CoM already got a remake, a decent one. So if they're going to be doing HD remasters I'd LIKE it to be for all games. And, even if it the most plot relevant, Days is kind of my favourite and I feel as though if they're going to put effort into remastering the rest of them fully, they should at least give Days the time of day, too.

I think that when you complete the games like 100% the whole thing you know KHFM and re:COM you'll get a secret message or the first part of a secret video for KH3 and it should show the release date for KH HD 2.5 and what it has in it and on 2.5 it should have the rest of the secret video which should confirm KH3 and OMG I NEED TO CALM DOWN CAUSE I'M FREAKING OUT

Huh since they DIDN'T release kh2 with this then I think we might see a kh2/bbs/coded set with kingdom hearts 3?!?!?! I mean it has a pattern, major game, semi major game, and not major Ds game! Plus this almost chronologically being released because the three being remastered all came before kh2 AND its titled 1.5 so the next set could be 2.5!!!! YEAH!!

So question: If this is released in America, does this mean that it will be the first time that we will get Final Mix content?

MasterTeli

does anyone else feel like they really need this or is that just me?!

(edited)

I'm expecting 2.5 with KH2, BBS and RE:Coded. That would be a great sale!

Don't think KH3 will be with BBS and KH2. KH3 will be probably one game

It's logicall they will add RE:Coded because of the letter. Or mayby also just cutscenes.

This is so great news!

I am so gonna buy this, and i dont care if its gonna be Japan only.... Then i'll import a Japanese PS3 just for this awesome remake

Something bugs me about this. KH1FM had a Secret Ending which hinted to KH2. Will they bring the same Secret Ending in HD or will they cut it out? o.o Or maybe it'll have a Secret ending for KH3? O:

I just want to say that its like my dream come true...

But the PS3 is region-free. You can play Japanese PS3 games on an American PS3. So there's no need to import a PS3 from Japan.

Why would they cut out the KH1FM Secret Ending? That wouldn't be smart story-wise. Though i can see Square putting up some kind of a teaser for KH3 like the Sly Cooper HD Collection did with Sly 4: Thieves in Time. So it's possible.

who called it

Feature length movie? Are you crazy? Do you know how much work that would take?

 

All i'm saying is that if you watch the cutscenes as it, you don't get the point of the story. I'm not saying every piece of the game needs to be done, just a few key plot points. When I compared it to a movie I meant that I wanted it to flow better than the chunky cutscenes we have now. And if they aren't going to remake the game they should at least put out something new for 358.

i am thinking maybe they will make a new secret ending for KH3 but spilt it into 2 part. The first part will be unlock in KH HD 1.5 while part 2 will be unlock in KH HD 2.5 (just thinking they will make it)

Awesome, i hope this for north america (i mean english text), and i see coming KH 0.5 with birth by sleep and/or not birth by sleep 2; and KH 2.5 with KH2FM, KHreCoded and KH 3D

Around the world, a lot of 360 and soon to be Wii U owners are pissed(if they dont own a PS3 and like KH).

I figure they will announce Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix after Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix releases, and i think it will be the same setup, Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix with Re.Coded Cutscenes made in HD for theater mode,

what do you guys think?

Kello

Member

I was thinking that same thing.

I was thinking the same thing directly after I saw the news (Today 03:30 am :DD)

I think it's the first thing many people assume.
