Staff Comment:
~From a comment by 358/2 Days cutscene director Masaru Oka: We created about 100 new scenes in order to be able to get the main story across in video only. We also added voicing, so you will be able to enjoy the subtle expression of emotion that is difficult to convey with text only. Get comfortable before you watch it because in entirety it is 2 hours and 50 minutes long. I didn't think that I would be working on the series for this long, but I'd like to go on creating Kingdom Hearts that the fans will love for the next ten years and on into the future.
~From a comment by sound designer Yuki Hirose: We gave 5.1ch surround sound support to the real-time sections of KH and ReCoM, and recorded additional voicing for Days. On the music front, under the supervision of Yoko Shimomura, various tracks have been rearranged and replaced with live instruments. Please look forward to the sound born anew.

    Wow, there's so much I'm excited about. An actual confirmation of the Diary and Secret Reports being included is probably the first actual news I've heard in a while. On top of that they added the character index, which is new for sure and sounds awesome. I'm not really a music buff, but I guess if they included the live instruments or whatever it should sound good. Since Days has my favorite OST I certainly hope so.

    Wow, This will be amazing~! Oh I do hope America, and other countries get it, I mean, Why would they make it exclusive only for Japan, when they KNOW they have fans world wide, its ridiculous, they would also make a lot more money that way, BLEH I just really wanna play, the first Kingdom Hearts is my favorite, because its feels so magical to me, please let it come to America, and other countries, we would like to enjoy this newly remastered game as well, in our own language ..okay I'm done nao :I

    This is painful. All this and more makes me long to see the full thing! More than that we still don't know if it comes to English territories yet. I don't even mind so much if it doesn't come here, I just want to know!We'll probably find out in the next few months at least.
